Chapter 402: Chapter 401: Bringing You a Gift

Quiet, extremely quiet.

At this moment, everyone at the press conference seemed to be still processing what was happening.

Lin Hao had actually arrived, and not only had he come, but he also brought with him a box so large it could block the exit door.

What was inside this box?

"Mr. Lin Hao, are the accusations you made against the East Atlantic Company and the Eight Great Families during your livestream yesterday true?"

"Mr. Lin Hao, how did you find out last night that the East Atlantic Company was going to bomb your hiding place, allowing you to prepare and start the livestream in advance?"

"We in the Western world epitomize a civilization of democracy and freedom; we definitely do not unjustly accuse anyone. May I ask, Mr. Lin Hao, which party’s forces do the three Black Bombs that exploded last night belong to?"

After a brief silence, Lin Hao was immediately surrounded by countless reporters, with numerous cameras pointing at him. A large group of reporters who managed to get close began frantically questioning Lin Hao.

These reporters, who were placed at the very back of the venue, are naturally the ones least favored by the East Atlantic Company.

And now, these reporters who were positioned at the back were the closest to Lin Hao.

These people were already distrustful of John Robert and were not going to ask questions according to John’s arrangements. They hadn’t been given the chance to ask questions during the conference, but now, they were eager and impatient.

This was a global broadcast, and one could say that at this moment, everyone in front of the television was holding their breath, waiting for Lin Hao’s response.

"There is no need to hurry, gentlemen. Everything will become clear today. That which is black will not turn white, and that which is white will certainly not turn black," Lin Hao gestured with his hand, stopping many more who still wanted to ask questions. "Today, I will say all that needs to be said."

Saying this, his chilling gaze shot directly at John Robert at the entrance of the conference hall.

That gaze was like a sharp sword; John Robert shuddered, and an extreme feeling of foreboding filled his heart.

"Shut him up! Don’t let him be arrogant here!" Even Mei Chuannei, standing beside John Robert, was shocked by the residual power of Lin Hao’s gaze, his legs nearly giving out as he quickly whispered to John.

John Robert naturally understood this, but this was a press conference, and not something he could simply dictate. If he could have used force directly, why would he bother holding a press conference?

Public opinion is hard to challenge, but John Robert knew that he must do something.

"Cut off the signal here, no more live broadcasting!"

As John Robert locked eyes with Lin Hao from afar, he immediately turned his head and whispered an order to Mei Chuannei.

But, just as his words fell, someone brought over a satellite phone.

It was a call from the head honcho of the Western world, a call John Robert couldn’t ignore.

However, upon hearing the message, John Robert’s brow furrowed deeply.

"If he doesn’t make a move, you can’t make a move!"

There was only one sentence, but John Robert seemed to smell the scent of being abandoned.

Abandoned?

A cold glint of frostiness flashed through the depths of John Robert’s eyes.

To hell with the ultimate boss, to hell with public opinion, to hell with the whole world!

John Robert, controlling the East Atlantic Company and allied with the Eight Great Families, still can’t take action against the enemy!!

How pathetic!!

"Have our people ready! On my signal, as soon as we make a move, we take his life!" John wanted to roar with rage, but he had to suppress his fury and stride towards Lin Hao’s direction.

He couldn’t let Lin Hao speak out of turn, much less let Lin Hao take the initiative!

But Lin Hao didn’t pay any attention to John Robert; as soon as everyone’s attention was on him, he had already begun his speech.

Right and wrong do not need much explanation.

The facts would speak for themselves, after all, Lin Hao had the confession videos from the East Atlantic Company and the Eight Great Families, as well as numerous physical evidence collected by Dragon Needle, and even some surveillance videos from the time of the incidents.

With testimony and physical evidence in place, the East Atlantic Company had no chance to clear its name.

John Robert’s previous sophistry was powerless in the face of such evidence.

Those journalists, one after another, were like discovering a new world, swarming Lin Hao so tightly packed that not a drop could trickle through. Finally, when a powerful aura pressed over, John Robert also came over.

"How dare you come! Do you really think there’s no one in the Western world?"

An icy voice came from behind the crowd, and those journalists who had been surrounding Lin Hao were rudely pushed aside by an invisible force, clearing a path in the corridor.

Lin Hao sized up John Robert from head to toe and, paying no more mind to the reporters, with a quirked corner of his mouth and a gesture behind him, said: "What you say isn’t wrong; in my eyes, you’re just a bunch of nobodies. I came today to give you a special gift."

"A gift for me?" John Robert glanced at the large box behind Lin Hao, a flash of cold light in his eye, and then saw Lin Hao strike out with the back of his hand.

"Boom!"

An explosive sound startled all the reporters at the press conference, but their intense curiosity made them hold back their fear and look towards the big box.

Wood chips flew everywhere as the huge box was smashed to pieces by Lin Hao’s palm, revealing a massive bronze bell in front of everyone.

It was an astoundingly large bronze bell, with a diameter of five or six meters.

It looked newly cast, shiny and rough-hewn, flipped upside down and steady on the ground.

"What kind of trash is this?"

The Westerners looked at each other, not understanding the significance of Lin Hao sending a bell to John Robert.

But in this era, there were also quite a few Eastern communicators and soon, some reporters realized the implication and began to explain on the side.

"Originally today’s press conference was for the East Atlantic Company to provide an explanation for last night’s Black Bomb explosion incident, but now, the opposing parties have met here. Lin Hao bringing a huge bell as a present for President John Robert, could it be that he’s planning to kill President John Robert here?"

"With no clues about the Black Bomb explosion incident, tens of millions of souls cannot rest in peace. Now, the conflict between the parties involved is on a knife-edge, and behind all this, it’s a head-on clash between the Eastern and Western powers of Earth. From the current situation, it seems truth no longer matters, but should the talks break down or the situation worsen, what kind of outcome will it be?"

"It’s been centuries since the last world war, and now, the balance of power between the East and the West is gradually being upset. Fragile agreements are shattered, and I fear that the drums of a thunderous war will once again resound..."

As soon as Lin Hao revealed the bronze bell, the atmosphere at the scene ignited, with countless reporters broadcasting live from all around.

And John Robert, after realizing the implication, just gave a cold laugh: "Sending me a bell? Hahaha! Today, I’ve already set up a Sky and Earth Net; let’s see who is sending whom a bell!"

As soon as he finished speaking, several Sky-breaking sounds were heard, the heavens and earth dramatically changed, and dozens of figures descended from the sky like Heavenly Gods, surrounding Lin Hao from all directions!
