Translator: 549690339
Sayon Television Station, station master’s office.
Being the most authoritative news media in Sayon, Sayon Television holds the reins of public opinion. As the station’s director, Carlos is a respected, senior figure in the media circle.
Though he rarely makes public appearances, even the city’s top official and the head of the Supervision Department extend the utmost respect to him, sharing a deep acquaintance.
Yet, even this figure, who the city’s top official and the head of the Supervision Department respect unconditionally, was increasingly restless as if ants were crawling on a hot pan.
“Nezzi command center! Nezzi command center! Why would the Nezzi command center issue such a command? What on earth has happened in the Wenx Hotel?” The sixties-aged Carlos paced up and down in his office, with a heavy burden on his mind.
A minute ago, he received a phone call from the Nezzi command center. It was a call made by the Azure Dragon War King himself, demanding he brings all the journalists in Sayon to the Wenx Hotel, no matter the costs.
All must arrive within an hour. If there was any delay, Sayon Television would cease to exist!
The Azure Dragon War King’s voice was very stern, like issuing a command, it left Carlos sweating bullets.
“Is it because of the person from the Nezzi Command Center who appeared in Sayon some time ago, as per the rumors?” Carlos froze, speculating fearfully.
The top figure of the Nezzi Command Center, who had been rumored to be in Sayon, had stirred quite a commotion. Many notable people in Sayon had heard about it, but nobody has seen this figure.
Some even said this figure was invented to scare people and did not exist at all.
However, Carlos knew that this figure indeed existed in Sayon.
He had heard Bentley from the Sayon Supervision Department mention this figure, but the information was always vague and unclear.
Thinking of this, Carlos called Bentley directly.
After hearing the situation, Bentley, as an old friend, advised, “Carlos, instead of spending your time on this, it’s better to act as the Azure Dragon War King commanded. The War King Kylin of the Middle Region also obeys him; I can’t reveal too much.
Lastly, let me remind you: do not offend Mr. Mitchell and never try to speculate about his identity. He prefers to keep a low profile. If you disclose his identity, not even God can save you!”
Swoosh!
Upon hearing Bentley’s words, Carlos trembled, a horrified look appearing on his face; it almost made him lose his nerve.
The War King Kylin also listens to this Mr. Mitchell, who is he ?
Hisss! Stop!
Carlos gasped, Bentley’s warning ringing loudly in his ears: Don’t speculate, don’t speculate, absolutely don’t speculate!
“Quick! Quick! Quick! Immediately in my name, contact all media reporters in Sayon! They must arrive in the Wenx Hotel in an hour no, forty minutes! Quick! Hurry up!”
Slightly regaining his composure, Carlos immediately began to make quick arrangements.
The next moment every single television station, newspaper, and media outlet in Sayon started mobilizing.
A fleet of news interview vehicles appeared on the streets, seemingly synchronized to form impressive lines of cars moving towards the Wenx Hotel.
On the other hand, in Sayon Television’s news editing department master’s office, the master editor and his ace reporter were leisurely drinking tea, dividing their spoils!
“Come, reporter Penny, this is your share, you did a good job this time, keep it up in the future.” A bald middle-aged man placed a cheque on the table.
He is the news editor of the department. He holds the most power in the news editing department of Sayon Television and is named Dean.
This man is a senior in the news circles, many journalists in Sayon show him respect.
The recent collective attack on the Jones Group by the media in Sayon was all designed by him.
The middle-aged woman sitting opposite him, his capable aide, is named Penny.
Although Penny hadn’t reported on any major news, her reputation in the industry was not small.
Because she specialized in mixing black and white and confusing audio-visual, anyone who dared to mess with her or didn’t give her face, would surely meet a bitter end.
The articles that had smeared the Jones Group were all from her pen.
“Not at all, Editor Dean, your contribution was great, I just helped a bit, you’re too kind.” Penny picked up the cheque, took a look, and instantly her smile stretched ear to ear.
Dean smiled, picking up his teacup leisurely as he said, “Penny, everything is arranged down there, right?
If there’s a blunder, it wouldn’t be good for our business; no one would want to collaborate with us in the future, do you understand?”
Penny nodded obsequiously and reassured, “Editor Dean, when I take care of things, you can relax. Not to mention mainstream media, even those street newspaper reporters will not appear at the Wenx Hotel today!
I’ve already warned them clearly: anyone who dares report on the Jones Group’s press conference at the Wenx Hotel today would be our enemy, your enemy!
If they still want to linger in Sayon, they should know what to do!”
After listening to Penny’s guarantee, Dean’s face showed a look of complacency as if everything was under control. He sighed leisurely, “The money in these rich people’s pockets is easy to earn. A few simple words, and more than a million is at hand.”
A smile was on Penny’s face, and as she was about to flatter Dean, a hurried knocking sound appeared from outside the office.
Knock Knock Knock
It sounded urgent, Dean’s face instantly filled with impatience.
“Knock, knock, knock, are you knocking on the door or tearing it down!? Get in!” Dean said irritatedly.
A young reporter rushed in, his face filled with anxiety, “Bad bad news, Editor. The station master’s office just called, ordering us to immediately gather and attend the Jones Group’s press conference at the Wenx Hotel!
They they said this is this is this is a direct order from the station master!”
Wenx Hotel?
Jones Group’s press conference?
And it’s a direct command from the station master?
Whoosh!
Dean’s complexion changed drastically, a cloud of gloom spread across their faces, and their hearts hang in their throats.
