CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 58: REPORTERS

Yu Manman focused her gaze on Connor!

This person, he must be the key!

[Detected host’s demand, currently using Character Detection Card! Using this card allows detailed information of the other party to be obtained!]

[Ding, detecting character Connor... Detection in progress!]

[Ding! Detection complete! Data as follows:

Connor, half-beastman, son of the Berkeley family, was expelled along with his father and forced into the Undersea City due to being born a half-beastman! When Connor was seven, his father’s Spiritual Sea became chaotic, and he abused Connor in various ways! After two long years of abuse, his father was killed by a Fallen Species! Since then, he began to wander alone...]

A long piece of investigative material was crammed into Yu Manman’s mind, making her dizzy!

Reading to the end, Yu Manman finally found what she was looking for!

[Connor hated the Berkeley family and agreed to the Cavon family’s proposal, deliberately approached Damon, and followed him to build the Norman Undersea City, secretly planting poppies in the base! He used a live broadcast to frame Damon!

Finally, Connor felt remorseful, not wanting the only person who regarded him as a friend, Damon, to die because of him, he admitted most of his guilt and committed suicide!]

[Buzz... Connor did not die... System error... Buzz... System normal!]

After a burst of chaotic mechanical noise, the system returned to silence.

Yu Manman muttered in her heart, with all this happening, hasn’t the system discovered that I’ve come early?

Forget it! No need to bother!

Yu Manman continued biting her nails.

Now she knew where the problem lay, but... All the information was in her head, and she couldn’t crack open her skull to get it out!

How could she get the message out?

—System! System! Please help me~

[Detected host’s demand, now offering two plans!

Plan One: Consume twenty Luck Points to extract the character’s information!

Plan Two: Consume one Memory Stone and five Luck Points to extract the character’s information!]

Yu Manman’s eyes lit up!

Plan Two!

Plan Two!

[Okay, Host! Consumed the corresponding Memory Stone and Luck Points to extract the character’s information! The information has been placed in the host’s Light Brain! Please check it!]

Yu Manman looked down at her Light Brain Bracelet, beginning to worry again.

How to get the information out there?

"Oh my god! There really is something!"

A sound came from inside.

A group of journalists entered the laboratory, and one reporter, by ’coincidence,’ discovered a very hidden door! Finally, they opened the innermost secret room!

They found that there was another layer below!

And there, quite a few forbidden plants were being cultivated! It wasn’t just poppies! There was also ephedra, coca, and more!

"Get out! Get out!" The police pulled up a line of caution, forcing all reporters to leave!

People in various live broadcast rooms also witnessed everything...

[Oh my god! It’s my first time seeing so many forbidden plants! And besides that most beautiful and poisonous flower, I don’t know most of them!]

[What’s there to say? If the person in charge claims to know nothing, I won’t believe it! Is he that stupid? Didn’t notice at all?]

"I don’t know..." Damon looked bewildered, "I really don’t know!"

He knew his life was over!

What awaited him was either the death penalty or life imprisonment...

"Connor!" Damon shouted hoarsely, "What grudge do I have with you? I’ve always trusted you! I gave everything into your hands when we were building this place! But you..."

When was this underground room constructed?

"How could you betray my trust?!"

Connor lowered his head, saying nothing, letting Damon scold him.

"Captain! We discovered a document inside!"

"It’s a document on building a secret room, but it doesn’t specify its use. However, it has a stamp!"

Damon was shocked, "A stamp..."

This stamp has always been in his hands, when did he approve such a document?

It’s fake, right?

"We’ve checked it, and it’s genuine."

Damon’s face grew increasingly ashen.

How could he say he knew nothing?

Materials for building a secret room wouldn’t appear out of thin air, he neglected everything, didn’t pay attention at all.

Thinking carefully, wasn’t there any flaw?

Yes, there seemed to be many, but he trusted Connor too much and stopped investigating after a few casual explanations.

How many people here were intentionally placed, he can’t remember too much...

He was too foolish!

"What about Uncle?" Damon croaked.

Even if the family entrusted this place to him, they wouldn’t completely trust it, there was also Uncle who was meticulous.

If Damon was foolish, what about Uncle who helped build the Undersea City?

Uncle couldn’t not have discovered something, but why didn’t he expose it?

Because he betrayed the family too?

Or maybe, the family already had traitors, and it was riddled with holes like a sieve?

Connor lowered his gaze, still silent.

After the reporters couldn’t get inside, they immediately questioned Connor and the others:

"Are you using prohibited items for profit? How far has it developed?"

"Is it related to the Berkeley family? Was it instructed by the family?"

"Are you intending to use these items to control people?"

Connor’s head buzzed, his emotions unstable as he shouted at the reporters, "Get lost!"

"I don’t know anything! Get out!!"

Seeing Connor’s flushed face, the reporters were like adrenaline-charged, more excited, their voices increasingly sharp! Each "please" word carried unethical questioning...

"Are you feeling ashamed and angry because your sore spot was hit? So, are you going to admit your crimes?"

"In this state, did you also take illegal substances? Please give us an explanation?"

"Do you have any accomplices? Are all your family’s Undersea Cities intended to be built as drug manufacturing sites?"

"Norman Undersea City looks glamorous, but actually harbors filth! Now someone is reporting that your Undersea City engages in illicit transactions, that those male mermaids are used to attract customers! What do you have to say about this?"

Mansa saw Damon with reddened eyes blocking the reporters, and calmly said:

"Please speak objectively, journalists! Nothing is clear yet! Once it’s clear, we will naturally hold a press conference, and invite journalists to come!"

"Now, please leave here!"

The reporters looked at Mansa, this female, but had no intention of letting her go.

"This female, during the live broadcast, he called you cousin! Are you involved too?"

"Are you trying to forcibly exonerate your family?"

"Miss Mansa!" a reporter yelled, "Did you kill your own husband? Is it true?"
