Chapter 259: Press Conference

Chapter: Press Conference

Adam stood in the room, his sharp gaze fixed on the futuristic white walls and the glowing holographic screens that adorned them.

The ambient hum of the advanced systems created a surreal atmosphere, one that perfectly mirrored his growing anticipation.

As he allowed his thoughts to wander, contemplating the endless possibilities of the base’s technological capabilities, a familiar voice broke through the silence.

"Lord Adam," Pratham’s voice echoed, resonating with calm authority.

Startled from his reverie, Adam turned sharply toward the source of the voice. Among the multitude of holographic screens encircling the room, one displayed Pratham’s avatar.

His light blue digital form shimmered with an ethereal glow, and his piercing blue eyes radiated a calming yet serious luminescence.

The sharp contrast between the futuristic environment and Pratham’s composed demeanor drew Adam’s full attention.

Adam stepped closer to the screen, his brow furrowed slightly. "What’s the matter, Pratham? Did something happen?" His tone carried both firmness and concern, reflecting the gravity of his trusted companion’s expression.

Pratham remained silent for a moment, as though carefully choosing his words. His digital form flickered faintly, a testament to the complexity of the data he was processing.

Finally, he spoke, his voice steady but laced with urgency. "Lord Adam, you need to see this."

Before Adam could inquire further, Pratham activated a video feed. Instantly, all the holographic screens around the room lit up, displaying the same broadcast.

Adam, alongside Phantom, Ninja, Sona, and Tayo, turned their attention to the unfolding scene with heightened focus.

The video feed revealed a live press conference.

A large table dominated the stage, flanked by rows of microphones and cameras.

Seated at the table were several high-ranking government officials, their expressions composed yet alert.

The room buzzed with anticipation as reporters jostled for the chance to ask their questions.

The first reporter to speak stood up, his voice tinged with skepticism as he addressed the officials. "The President recently stated that the vampire threat has been completely neutralized. Is this true?"

The official seated at the center of the table adjusted his microphone, his movements deliberate and measured.

Leaning slightly forward, he replied confidently, "I can confirm that all vampires have been terminated. If you wish to verify this information, I encourage you to visit your nearest hospitals. You’ll find that there are no new cases being reported anymore."

The press murmured in response, their skepticism tempered but not entirely dispelled. Cameras zoomed in on the official’s face, capturing every nuance of his expression.

The silence was broken as another reporter quickly raised his hand, his tone probing.

"Sir, we’ve heard that the President announced a halt on the national investigation into power holders. What prompted this decision?"

For a brief moment, the official hesitated, his gaze dropping to the table before he met the reporter’s eyes.

His voice, though steady, carried an undertone of cautious calculation.

"As our President mentioned, power holders are also citizens of our nation. Conducting a crackdown on them indiscriminately would be unfair. Many power holders are innocent, and targeting them would only create unnecessary chaos. This is why the government has decided not to proceed with the investigation."

Adam’s expression remained impassive as he absorbed the statement. The implications of the government’s shift in strategy were immense.

It was a move that sought to strike a balance between control and compassion, but one that could easily tilt in either direction depending on how events unfolded.

As the murmurs among the press began to subside, a female reporter stood up next. Her voice was sharp, her tone unwavering as she asked,

"Sir, in the President’s speech, it was mentioned that The Union would be assigned to manage this situation. Can you elaborate on that?"

The official took a deep breath, his shoulders straightening as he prepared to address the question.

"We have reached an agreement with The Union," he began, his voice steady and authoritative.

"An alliance has been formed wherein The Union will take responsibility for managing all power holders in the country. They will ensure balance and order."

This statement sent a ripple of shock through the assembled reporters.

Murmurs erupted once more, their volume rising as the implications of the announcement began to sink in.

Another reporter quickly followed up, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Have The Union accepted this agreement?"

The official nodded, his expression unwavering. "Yes," he confirmed.

"We have successfully convinced The Union. Our President, along with Ranger Logan, who is our sole power holder representative, has formalized this alliance. Ranger Logan will serve as the link between The Union and the government. Essentially, The Union will report to him, making him a crucial link and, in essence, their leader."

The words hung in the air, their weight undeniable. Adam’s gaze darkened slightly as he processed the revelation.

Ranger Logan’s appointment as the liaison placed him in a position of considerable influence, a development that Adam knew could either strengthen or undermine The Union’s mission.

As the shock among the reporters began to subside, one of them raised a hand, her voice cutting through the noise. "Does this mean The Union will become an extension of the government?"

The official shook his head firmly, his tone resolute as he clarified. "Not at all. The Union will maintain their autonomy. They are free to operate under their ideology, while we follow ours. This is a partnership, not an enforcement. We will not impose our decisions on them."

The room buzzed with murmurs once again, the reporters exchanging glances as they absorbed the official’s words.

The clarification did little to dispel the undercurrent of unease that ran through the press corps.

The notion of a partnership between The Union and the government was unprecedented, and its success or failure hinged on the delicate balance of trust and autonomy.

Adam’s attention remained fixed on the screen, his mind racing with thoughts.

The government’s decision to entrust The Union with such significant responsibility was both an opportunity and a challenge.

It was a move that could redefine the nation’s approach to power holders, but it also carried the risk of deepening divisions if not handled carefully.

As the press conference drew to a close, the reporters’ murmurs faded into silence. The official’s statement had set the stage for a new Chapter in the nation’s history, one in which The Union would play a central role.

For Adam, the announcement marked a turning point—one that would shape the course of his mission and the future of The Union.

Adam’s gaze lingered on the screens, his expression unreadable. The room around him was silent, save for the faint hum of the holographic displays.
