Chapter 1264 Act
Chapter 1264 Act
Everyone was silent for a minute. In fact, they started opening the Skynet to check the prophecy, and it was truly there.
They started debating and shifting the blame from Isaac to other people who couldn’t help those people. Without Isaac’s daring personality, no one would have been saved because the chance was less than five percent. Even if they managed to save them, hundreds of thousands of people would have died on the way.
When Agata saw this, she glanced to the side, smirking. “Heh. So, is this your way to help them?”
“I know that most people won’t believe in Isaac. And I’d seen Isaac’s mental state when he was harassed by a few people for a few days. It was awful. So, I contacted the Time God for his help… This way, Isaac wouldn’t have to suffer that much.” Theo nodded with a grim expression.
He knew that the Time God was planning to be an observer, so he only asked him to tell about some sort of prophecy. He could even lie through his teeth because Theo had prepared some lines to trick people. And posting something like this wouldn’t really make him turn into an active piece that moved the storyboard. He could remain as an observer.
That was why the Time God agreed to help. He also owed Theo that much for saving one hundred thousand people from the Frost Saint.
“Well, this is not over. There is still one most important villain in this conference.” Theo glanced at the old man in the corner of the screen.
“That’s true…” Agata nodded.
After Rea and Time God’s statements, the journalist had mixed reactions. They wanted to attack Isaac, but they would be stopped by that statement. Why would they lower the number because of age? They would be the ones to be attacked.
Even Isaac nodded to Rea, thanking her for the help.
Rea then continued to choose another person to ask their question.
However, she was suddenly interrupted by the old man from the democratic party as he couldn’t let this chance go to make a name for himself.
“Miss Nagasawa. Can you take responsibility for your words? I can admit that the genius’ action was necessary, but there is no record of the incident ever happening. So, one wrong move might cost more than a million people’s lives?”
Rea maintained her calm even though she wanted to hit this petty old man. At the same time, taking responsibility for her words would impact the Nagasawa Family, especially the Sword Saint. So, she needed to choose her words wisely.
“Instead of doing it alone, why don’t you get any help from the scientists nearby and even other parties that help this country? This looks like you are playing with people’s lives just for the sake of your glory. Do you look at humans like you’re looking at animals?”
Rea remembered Agata’s words and realized this man was the one who would target her.
‘Politics…’ Rea sighed inwardly before giving the answer. “Our leader judged that cooperating with other parties would significantly delay our progress. At that time, they hadn’t even prepared most of their equipment.
“On the other hand, the situation on the other side was severe. The people had symptoms of dehydration. If we waited any longer, they would have died. Hence, our leader chose to make a decision himself and save these people.”
“Then, may I ask where your leader is? How can he not attend this conference when his decision made one million people risk their lives?! How can your leader be absent at this time? Is he trying to run from his responsibility?” The old man asked again, rebuking her statement.
As expected from an expert politician, he could divert many people easily and make them back him up. Even the comments started asking for Theo’s appearance.
TwinkleStarsss: That’s right. Where is Joker right now? Is he escaping from his responsibility as the man who risked more than one million people’s lives? Is he not going to apologize for risking so many people’s lives?
SmartPerson1010: Joker needs to apologize right now. Boycott Joker!
There were many comments defending Joker, but the haters seemed to have the same number.
However, Rea slammed the podium with her hand. Her face was filled with anger.
“Miss Nagasawa, please refrain from directing your anger to the podium and give us an explanation professionally? And what are you planning to do with fifty thousand people that remain on the other side? Why did you abandon them?”
“An explanation? You want an explanation? Fine!” Rea swept her hand and showed another picture along with two videos. “Look at this!”
The picture was Joker’s shirt that had holes and blood on it. As for the video, the first one showed a video of the assassination from the ceiling. It was a CCTV video. The second video showed the assassin’s point of view.
And all people gasped when Joker was stabbed by the assassin. The videos stopped and silenced the entire hall.
Rea slammed the podium again and shouted in anger. “Where is Joker? He’s recuperating from his injury right now! What? Humanity? I’m losing my faith in humanity right now.
“What do we get from saving one million lives? What? Thank you? No, it’s an assassination attempt! If not for Joker’s superior combat ability, he would have died! And you still ask me where he is?”
Rea looked at them to the point tears started forming in the corner of her eyes. She couldn’t accept that when Joker saved people, the people returned it with a knife in his heart.
Before they could react, someone slammed the door as a red-haired young man rushed into the room despite being stopped by security.
“Miss Rea, Madam Stella. I’ve received the news from the Star Group’s expedition team!” He panted a few times and reported. “Our separate rescue team has reached the remaining fifty thousand people. Thanks to our fast reaction and quick choppers, we’ve managed to deliver the supply.
“The supply will last for two days. And the military is predicted to arrive within 12-15 hours. As for the injured, they’ve been taken away by our choppers and are now on the way back to seek medical attention. And there is no…” He took a deep breath. “The casualty is zero! With the supply and our personnel, the remaining fifty thousand people should be able to last until the rescue operation is completed.”
When they heard the news, all of them were stunned because of how unbelievable the news was.
On the other hand, Rea remembered Agata’s advice.
“They’re going to target one specific area that will frustrate you, but keep calm because he’s going to do something about it.”
With just that memory, she realized the man that brought the news was none other than Clone Theo.
Although she wanted to cheer, she still acted and even shed tears, saying. “You know what… Even after the assassination attempt and asking me to substitute him, Joker instructed the rescue operation and let me handle it. Despite the assassination attempt and his disappointment, Joker still wanted to save everyone.”
She dramatized Theo like he was an angel descended from Heaven. She looked at the old man and asked with disappointment as if she had lost trust in this country, “Do you have another question?”
