Why it never ends

Chapter 70 The Shattered Portrait

Robert frowned slightly, and after a while, he got up to answer the call himself.

"Hey?"

"Good morning, Mr. Secretary-General." Avinash's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, "You woke up really early."

"what's up?"

"Did you see today's paper? The front page of the Invictus."

Robert looked sideways, and stretched out his hand to signal the butler to bring the newspaper for him.

Avinash continued, "If you haven't read it, I suggest you take a look. I have nothing else to do. Goodbye."

A busy tone came from the other end of the phone, and Avinash had hung up the phone.

The butler brought a newspaper folded in half, and the moment it was unfolded, Robert's blood pressure rose accordingly.

On the front page of the paper was a portrait of Hestad—the girl staring at the camera, her eyes piercing the page like a knife.

This momentary impact made Robert even a little unsteady for a moment, and the butler at the side quickly supported his arm.

There are some blood spots left on Hesta's cheeks, her ice-blue eyes are cold and sharp, like a ferocious beast, the most impactful thing is her short fiery red hair, they are like The flames of the devil are burning blazingly.

Robert held on to the fireplace beside him, and whispered, "Bring...get my glasses."

The steward complied immediately.

Robert unfolded the newspaper again, squinting his eyes to see the huge headline——

"manipulate!Fool!Tear off the disguise and see how a born devil deceives everyone's eyes! "

"Prepare the car...prepare the car!" Robert was a little panicked, he said loudly, "I want to go to the office immediately!"

At the moment, Tan Yi’s municipal building has reporters in twos and threes surrounding the door. Robert saw these troublemakers carrying cameras and radio microphones at a glance. In his eyes, these reporters were like hunting sharks following blood. If you are not careful, you will be torn off a bigger wound.

He immediately asked the driver to change the road and go directly to the underground parking lot of the municipal building. A reporter recognized Robert's car, but the car had already turned around and drove away.

After some deliberation, Robert finally stepped into the building quietly, and Aaron had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Secretary!"

Robert walked like flying, and Aaron followed immediately.

Robert's voice was low: "What's going on with the report of the "Indomitable News" today?"

"It was done by one of their trainee investigative reporters, a young man named Stella Viking who just graduated from Lembong University last year."

As Aaron spoke, he raised his hand, and the holographic bust of Stella Wiggin appeared in front of the two of them.

Robert frowned—this was a young girl with curly long brown hair and a bright aggressive smile.

Robert stopped, and he began to slide the air screen in the corridor, browsing the background of this young man.

Stella Viking, 21 years old, was adopted by John Viking, a doctor in the third district, at the age of 5. At the age of 16, she went to the core city of Lembang University to receive elementary education.Returned to Tan Yi last year and entered the "Unyielding" as a trainee investigative reporter.

Robert waved his hand to close the floating window in disgust—the trait of "red-haired woman" had already made him feel uncomfortable for a while.

"After our report on Hesta was published last time, Viking started her investigation. She entered the orphanage as a cleaner for half a month under a disguise, and revisited the children in the monastery. Hesta used to It wasn't that good at all in the monastery...

"She has a withdrawn personality and has always seemed out of tune with other people in the monastery. Except for Dean Alma and a little boy from the [-]th district, no one is with her at ordinary times. It made her fly into a rage, and she was locked up in a confinement room every three days for self-reflection.

"There's also the squirrel we mentioned before. In fact, the squirrel was discovered by another girl named Fulasang. Hesta not only didn't cooperate with the prayer, but also offered to eat it—"

"I've seen it all! You don't have to repeat it!" Robert replied impatiently.

Robert had already read through the full-page text report this morning in the car here. In the report, Stella completely smashed the previous "angel-like Hesta" and replaced it with a Hesta like Hesta. Carat brothers are cruel, indifferent, and even lack of basic moral concepts in the wilderness.

Earlier, in order to prevent things like today from happening, the city hall specially distributed documents, prohibiting all media from disturbing the lives of these surviving children in the name of interviews—I don’t know what these people do for food and why they are recruiting workers Sometimes they didn't even do basic background checks, just let an investigative reporter in.

"Withdraw the manuscript!" Robert was furious, "Let them withdraw the manuscript immediately!"

"We have sent people to retrieve and destroy today's newspaper, including the online version of this article, which is now off the Invictus website - but AHgAs reprinted the full text this morning and put it on the The homepage of their website has been simultaneously translated and retweeted to the first, fourth, fifth, eleventh, and fourteenth districts, and the remaining several districts have also released the common language version first. The translation into local languages ​​should be just A matter of time..."

Robert didn't want to listen any more, "...Is there any new news?"

"Stella Wiggin just released a new message 10 minutes ago." Aaron said with a very ugly face, "She...she also discovered that Hesta is not an abandoned baby or a street child in a livable place at all. Two Out of kindness, a nun deliberately concealed this in the file—before she was adopted by St. Anne's Abbey, she had been living in... Short Ming Lane."

Duanming Lane.

The infamous Short Ming Lane.

For a moment, Robert felt angry again.

It's over...how could it be Duanming Lane?
In a livable place, Duanming Lane is a place more famous than Hekla. Everyone knows that it is full of robbers, prostitutes, and desperadoes... For employers, the killers in Duanming Lane not only charge more than Hecla. Carat is cheaper, and the means are more brutal and ruthless, but the behavior of these people is not very controlled. If it is not necessary, everyone still prefers Hekla thugs who understand the rules of the world.

"Where is this Stella Viking now!" Robert scolded angrily, "What is the purpose of her writing these things, who instructed her to write them, and who is behind her—go find out! Find out!"

"She is now...should be at the reserve base," Alan said softly, "because of her message 10 minutes ago...the location is right there."

Robert slapped the nearby wall—he knew it.

It must be Chiba Masaki, it must be her doing the trick!

"Also," Alang's throat moved, "In the version of the report reproduced by AHgAs, there are some... updated content that is directly aimed at us."

"What is it?"

"It's a bit long..." Alan silently reopened the floating window just now, and brought up Stella's updated article, "I'm not very good at dictation, you can just read it."
