Chapter 400: Chapter 399 Black Turns White

Injustice?

At the press conference, everyone’s faces were filled with confusion, and the same was true for people watching the live broadcast around the world.

"Haha, it’s truly a waste of talent not acting as an actor." In Huaxia, Long Si, who was watching the live press conference, snorted coldly and then turned to a young woman beside him: "Is there any news about Lin Hao?"

"No, currently we only know Lin Hao withdrew our people before the explosion, and the people he took also left their hiding spots, but, until now we still have no news of Lin Hao himself."

Li Yuan had just rushed back from Resurrection Island, and in the five years that had passed, Lin Hao’s image had never left her mind. But now, as soon as she had returned, she hadn’t even seen Lin Hao’s face before encountering such an incident.

Li Yuan felt uncertain, her eyes filled with concern as she looked at Long Si: "Could something have happened to him?"

After all, the three most powerful Black Bombs exploded simultaneously, and Lin Hao was so close at that time. In that situation, even a Sky-breaking Expert might find it hard to survive.

Long Si frowned slightly, shook his head, and his gaze continued to focus on the East Atlantic Company’s press conference.

At the press conference scene, it still remained quiet, as if John Robert’s cries of injustice still echoed in the hall.

"Yes, in keeping with our responsibility to our people, refusing to compromise with the evil forces of the East, and preventing them from causing further damage, last night, after discovering the hiding place of the Easterners, we took action."

"We absolutely cannot allow the East to slander us, to splash things we have never done onto us! We cannot allow them to frame us wantonly, so last night we sent bombers, preparing to carry out a special operation on them."

"But, I, John Robert, and our East Atlantic Company, would definitely not commit such atrocious, despicable, conscienceless, life-disregarding acts! Our action last night was just a simple raid, but we hadn’t anticipated that the Easterners could be so shameless, so vicious, we got tricked by them!"

"The exploded Black Bombs, were smuggled there by the Easterners, it’s easy for them to transport three Black Bombs; I don’t know what they aim to do, but over these years, with the development of Resurrection Island, the East has become more and more obsolete, it’s seen by the world, perhaps they are dissatisfied, perhaps they want to strike once."

"And we, just happened to be their target, they calculated it, knew our actions in advance, and had prepared."

"For such behavior, we must denounce strongly, not only just denounce, but also make them pay a price! This matter cannot end just like this, millions of innocent souls, must be comforted, we must do something!"

John Robert furiously banged on the desk, howling with rage, if Lin Hao were here right now, he might have rushed up to fight to death.

But, would Lin Hao be here?

John Robert’s gaze swept once again across the crowd, covering the entire venue.

Lin Hao was not there, although until now, there was still no definitive news, but, John Robert had already sentenced Lin Hao to death.

And, even if Lin Hao were here, so what?

The East Atlantic Company now is not what it was five years ago!

He had already mobilized all the experts he could gather in the East Atlantic Company overnight, even if Lin Hao didn’t die and appeared here, he could ensure Lin Hao dies once again.

The five Sky-breaking Experts from the East Atlantic, along with the eight Sky-breaking Experts from the Eight Great Families, gathered together just to take Lin Hao’s life!

"President John Robert, you claim that Lin Hao orchestrated last night’s events single-handedly, but we only have your side of the story. How can you convince our citizens that everything you’ve said just now is true? After all, ours is a nation of laws and civilization, and we cannot take your word alone."

As John Robert was searching for Lin Hao, a reporter stood up first and took the microphone to ask a question.

The question seemed to challenge John Robert, putting him in an embarrassing position, yet John Robert didn’t get angry; he even smiled.

"This is a good question! Indeed, we planned yesterday to come forward to clarify matters and counter Lin Hao, but we still had many things to prepare. Now, I am compelled to respond."

John Robert cleared his throat: "First, the baseless accusations made by Lin Hao, slandering us for employing brutal tactics, genocide-like slaughter of the Mingyang Sect and Huaxia’s Song Family, are wrong!"

"Our East Atlantic Company has neither reason nor motive to do such a thing; it’s a fabrication, a slander!"

"Indeed, our East Atlantic Company has grievances with Lin Hao, and everyone knows that these grievances were caused by Lin Hao himself! But we are reasonable, humane people, we would never engage in such despicable acts. Moreover, for such a large-scale action, wouldn’t Huaxia know? Wouldn’t they intervene? Conversely, I do know that Lin Hao has made countless enemies in Huaxia, people who deeply hate him, even to the extent of wishing to annihilate his clan!"

"These days, he detained many of our employees and members of the Eight Great Families on our territory, coercing them under severe torture to make statements against their will. Torture for confessions is their forte, aiming to use this to overthrow us and alter their passive situations on Resurrection Island!"

"Therefore, what I want to say is, our East Atlantic Company has no reason, no motive, and isn’t foolish enough to use the Black Bomb on our own people. It’s Huaxia, these Eastern Groups, who have the motive and reason to commit such atrocities!"

"They are deliberately inciting war, seeking to ruin us and doom us irreparably! If our people fall for their trickery and blame us for yesterday’s inhumane massacre, then they are the biggest beneficiaries!"

"I’m here to appeal to our citizens, to our fellows, to open your eyes and not be deceived by those Easterners!"

John Robert was emotional, his voice resonant as he controlled the entire press conference.

Under his narrative and through intentionally arranged media queries from others with ulterior motives, black was turned into white, flipping the narrative to paint Lin Hao as the villain.

In fact, this absurd and cunning defense unexpectedly convinced many.

Indeed, as John Robert said, by doing this, the East Atlantic Company would be shooting itself in the foot, a loss far outweighing any gain - killing one hundred enemies but damaging oneself by thirty thousand.

Any decision-maker with a bit of sense, who isn’t a fool, wouldn’t do such a thing.

On the other hand, Lin Hao and Huaxia, under the current circumstances, have both the motive and reasons to engage in such acts.

And most suspiciously, Lin Hao could somehow know such confidential information in advance and even broadcast it live, which is utterly unbelievable.

"Overthrow the Eastern Group!"

"Free the East from dictatorship!"

"Blood for blood!"

Shortly after John Robert’s press conference, whether planned or spontaneous, outside the venue, people had already started changing their protest slogans!
