"Kingdom Defense Bureau Scandal?! High-ranking officials manipulating gangs and trading human lives!"
Such a sensational headline naturally cos from the recently renowned "Kingdom Deep Observation Report" in the Royal Capital.
People have grown accustod to such exaggerated headline styles, and more often, their reaction is eagerness to read the content.
Usually, using exaggerated headlines is a behavior typical of tabloids, and "Kingdom Deep Observation Report" is also considered a tabloid, yet its current content hasn't been inaccurate; it's all big news, and its scale and reputation are expanding.
So this ti, people were already reading the report with a believing attitude.
The content is actually quite simple, just an exposé on Trafford.
The report details how Trafford manipulated immigrants from the Old Continent to form gangs, destabilize the city, and privately trade girls for bloody rituals.
These are facts, not fiction, and outsiders can see it, because the details are thorough, not sothing fabricated.
And achieving this was actually quite simple, by carefully interrogating Trafford's close associates.
Last night, after everything was over, Ethan followed the information given by Kaster and captured Trafford's close associates, handing them over to Joseph.
Subsequently, the professionals took over the professional work.
Then, before dawn, Joseph gave the gathered materials to Ethan, who then found Herlosh in his sleep.
Herlosh had just completed a feature on Johnny Blackbird in recent days and was worried about lacking new material. Ethan's gift was a big one for him.
But after looking at this big gift, he was almost scared to death.
After all, this is about the Kingdom Defense Bureau. Is this for real?
In the past, Herlosh wouldn't have even dared to ntion the Kingdom Defense Bureau, let alone look at it—true representatives of devils.
Now he actually has the qualification to report on them?
"If you're afraid, don't be a reporter."
Ethan looked at him.
"I've worked hard to get this opportunity for you. If you don't take it, soone else will. Think about it."
These weren't just words to scare Herlosh.
With Joseph's connections, finding a newspaper to report on this matter isn't difficult, but larger newspapers are likely to have reservations.
To find a newspaper influential enough, Herlosh was indeed one of the top three choices at the mont.
Herlosh looked at Ethan standing by the window, with the dim and dark sky outside the Royal Capital, reminding him of the conversation with Ethan in the restaurant.
It was that decision back then that granted him everything he has now.
This mont, just like that mont.
"I'll do it."
He finally made up his mind.
Perhaps when he agreed to Ethan's infiltration investigation in the restaurant, he had already embarked on an irreversible path.
"Don't worry, there's soone who will bear the pressure from above for you, even if publishing is halted, it won't be long."
Ethan knew what he was worried about.
"I understand."
Herlosh nodded.
And thus, ca this morning's latest report.
This report unquestionably set off the biggest ripple of this morning in the Royal Capital.
Even more intense than the issue when Ethan fought Rubins.
It's inevitable; after all, it involves the Kingdom Defense Bureau.
For many years, the Kingdom Defense Bureau has always been lurking beneath the water's surface, like a bottomless iceberg, with no one knowing how many secrets it holds, and no one daring to truly touch this iceberg.
Because this is a devouring iceberg, even if there have been speculative rumors in the past, the reports were insubstantial, incomplete, causing no impact on the Kingdom Defense Bureau, only further establishing its mysterious and terrifying image.
This ti, however, it was blatant and uncovered, excavating the secrets within the iceberg.
Enough to shock and awe.
The newspaper was imdiately bought out and circulated wildly.
And at the sa ti, so entered the scene, naly the Royal Capital Public Security Bureau, as phones at the Royal Capital News Control Center were flooded.
Countless peers were envious and resentful, and countless others watched coldly, waiting for this cot-like rise of the "Kingdom Deep Observation Report" to inevitably fall like a teor into the abyss.
Indeed, no one believed that such a forrly obscure tabloid could survive after breaking such big news.
The Kingdom Defense Bureau is not to be ddled with casually, and even the truly top-notch newspapers must deliberate before considering reporting any related news.
But undeniably, the potency of this report is sensational enough.
An intense war has already erupted within the Kingdom Defense Bureau.
Investigations, searches, arrests.
The inside and outside of the Action Departnt's three offices were surrounded by many people.
Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel had already entered, yet the personnel from the three offices refused to yield, making the situation tense.
"What do you want? Based on a newspaper, a mysterious tabloid, you want to arrest a colleague? Are you crazy?!"
This naturally ca from the people at the three offices.
"We obviously don't just have the newspaper; we have other evidence, otherwise, how could we dare co to the three offices? Now, bring Trafford out; we need to internally question him."
"Let's see who dares! Don't think just because you're from the Ministry of Internal Affairs you can run amok..."
Just when everything was about to flare up, soone erged from the depths, none other than the forr prince's guard, now the head of the three offices, Michelle.
"Alright, stop quarreling. If there's sothing to be addressed, let's investigate it clearly, step aside, and let them examine."
Michelle's words, of course, left no one daring to obstruct.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs personnel imdiately entered.
But found nothing; the person was gone.
Trafford had disappeared.
The team that went to Trafford's house also didn't find him.
Trafford had fled.
Joseph wasn't surprised to receive this news, but it wasn't important; what was important was that Trafford wasn't in the Kingdom Defense Bureau.
This round, he won.
He couldn't help but admire Ethan's strength.
This young man, he never lets people down, always bringing surprises.
If soone else were to handle this matter, Joseph wouldn't believe it could be accomplished.
Thinking of this, he called Ethan, but no one answered.
He originally intended to invite Ethan out for dinner tonight, considering that he had been such a great help; he had to show so appreciation.
Ethan was not at ho; he had gone out.
Even though the whole city had been stirred up by him again this morning, he didn't feel anything special.
The things that needed doing still needed to be thodically carried out.
At most, he bought a copy of the "Kingdom Deep Observation Report" to read while on the road.
Today's schedule was to visit a negotiated radio station—if he owned a radio station today, the speed of the public opinion's ferntation would be even faster.
