The Goddess Of War

Chapter 174 - Li Wen Xia's Counterattack (2)

《"Actually, I am really very angry at the ridiculous accusation that Miss Anna conveyed a few days ago, through a press conference in City C,"》Li Wen Xia began to speak up,《"We have evidence that Miss Anna was the mastermind behind the big dungeon break eleven years ago."》Li Wen Xia ended the sentence by staring at Kenichiro Tanaka who was sitting next to him. He is the Hunter who bears witness to the crimes Anna committed.

《"We are also sure, the SS-ranked Dungeon in the Fiji Islands is also the result of his deeds. Kiita can all witness for herself, Anna when it suddenly appears and fights with her own friends, right? Then he destroyed the Dungeon with his terrifying strength. They then came out together from the Dungeon and there was no more feud going on between them. Doesn't that look very suspicious?"》

《"We believe there is a cooperation between them. Or maybe there was a threat Anna Lloyd made to those young Hunters,"》Li Wen Xia ended his explanation.

《"But..., isn't Miss Anna very young? Was her first appearance eleven years ago when she was a little girl?"》ask the interviewer who is confused.

《"Yes. Back then she was still a seven-year-old girl."》Kenichiro immediately replied.

Li Wen Xia again spoke after Kenichiro ended his sentence,《"I still have evidence that makes our suspicions become stronger,"》Li Wen Xia was seen nodding her head once before continuing her sentence,《"This is the evidence we have of the crime Anna Lloyd committed."》

The screen on the television then changed. It aired satellite CCTV footage showing Anna appearing at many Dungeon gates, in footage that has been slowed down thousands of times.

It was Anna's sudden appearance that the Dungeon's gatekeepers could not see.

In the show also written an information that the gates are the gates of the Dungeons that eventually closed themselves before there was a raid team that conquered it.

《"In the past six months, we all must have heard and read the news that there are so many Dungeon gates that have suddenly disappeared,"》Li Wen Xia continued.

The woman only spoke again after seeing the interviewer nod his head,《"That's a very unreasonable thing, isn't it? We finally did an investigation and found that Anna was the perpetrator of hundreds of illegal raids that caused losses from hundreds of guilds around the world,"》

《"That's on air and all viewers see are just gates located in Southeast Asia. Mr. Cavalli will later upload all CCTV footage from gates around the world whose raid rights have been stolen by Anna Lloyd, on the World Association's official website,"》

《"So, you all must have guessed why the Hunter-hunters of the Nine Bears guild could get such a rapid rise in rank, right? You can also see the instant wealth that the guild and the 9 AM company have. Anna Lloyd could have sold all of her raid proceeds to the young Hunters directly, without going through a partnership with the City C Association. It was a very illegal thing."》

At the time Li Wen Xia spoke in the live broadcast, everyone around the world who was watching the show immediately doubted Anna's integrity.

The evidence that Li Wen Xia had was quite a lot. Along with him was Fernando Cavalli, chairman of the World Association, who, although still not speaking a word, said, but his presence alone could be used as a proof of his support and approval for what Li Wen Xia conveyed.

Then, there was also Kenichiro Tanaka. He's not just a Hunter. If all Hunters are called heroes of the world, then Kenichiro is the hero of the heroes.

He is one of the first two Hunters to emerge as the one to exterminate all monsters in Japan, the PRC and the countries around East Asia along with Takayoshi Sato, 23 years ago.

He is also famous as a Hunter who does not really want to accentuate himself. Kenichiro will only come out if the world is really in danger and needs his help.

So, everyone was convinced that what Kenichiro said was not a lie.

As another reinforcement, there is Takayoshi Sato's eldest son, Keisuke Sato, who also suspects that Anna is the kidnapper of one of the world's best heroes and also the thief of his findings.

With the strong support that was around Li Wen Xia, then Anna would definitely get a very heavy and violent backlash. The world doubts it.

The ones who were originally suspicious of Li Wen Xia, were, now instead turned to attack Anna with harsh words and swearing through their respective social media accounts addressed on the official website of Nine Bears and 9 AM.

However, Li Wen Xia's attack did not just arrive there.

After all the impressions of Anna's emergence at the gates of many Dungeons throughout Southeast Asia, now the display back at 4 Hunter and an interviewer.

At that moment, Li Wen Xia finally asked one more person to join them.

•••

Anna looked at the person who had just joined the Hunter conducting the interview with both eyes widened.

The man was his own grandfather, Morgan Lloyd.

On that occasion, the old man recounted how the changes had happened to his beloved granddaughter, Anna.

It was also shown when Anna tortured Brandon Lloyd and threatened Cassey Lloyd in a room they later learned was a room from an Asian Soul restaurant, in City C.

While the show was in play, Morgan also told how Anna threatened Cassey and Joana Nankins to consume the demon pill, which was actually her own creation.

Morgan also testified that Anna had allied herself with the demons to gain her current power.

At the end of the interview, Fernando Cavalli finally spoke up. He denounced and blocked all activities of the Nine Bears guild and will also send charges to the 9 AM company.

Fernando Cavalli also authorised the American Association, which has numerous SS and SSS-ranked secret agents, to deal with 9 AM company matters.

They claim that the discovery would be of great help to the world if many people knew it. Such valuable inventions should not be monopolized by just one company, especially since they are stolen.

After the interview ended, Anna walked with both feet that felt heavy, towards the sofa in the room.

To his surprise, everyone in the room forgot to sit down. They watched the show that lasted for 1 hour more just by standing near the television.

Gina's office was very quiet. None of them spoke. Everyone seemed to be dissolving in their own thoughts.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the room. Shortly after, the guild secretary of the Nine Bears walked into the room and reported about the many incoming calls after the interview at WABC ended.

It was reported that many countries had canceled contracts with the Nine Bears guild. The number of cancellations will probably grow over time, as phones from the public relations team are still ringing.

"What are we gonna do, chief?" the secretary asked Gina, with a face that looked very worried.

Gina also still did not know what to do.

At a time like this, Gina needed the help of thought input from her father who she knew was very experienced in taking care of such a precarious matter.

Gina looked at Kevin Jung who seemed to be in a bad mood. It can be seen from the wrinkles on his forehead that seem to be thinking very hard to be able to get out of a big problem that they will definitely experience soon.

"Let's get together first. Tell all our core members." Gina said to the secretary.

"We're going to have an emergency meeting, chief?"

"I'll cook for all of us. Invite them all to Stewart's residence."

"W-what?! But, this situation..."

"We'll think more calmly as our stomach fills with delicious food." Sahut Gina, cut the secretary's sentence.

What Gina had just said, strangely enough, could slightly melt the atmosphere. Everyone immediately turned to the young woman, even Gus Stevin and Davina immediately welcomed the idea.

"You're right. Let's think about it later after our stomachs are full. I'm hungry too" said Gus Stevin.

As they were about to leave the room for Stewart's residence, Gina's smartphone rang.

Gina hesitates to take a call from the unknown number, which she knows is from abroad. However, after a nod from Kevin Jung, Gina finally received the call.

《"What's true with Gina-San?"》there was a soft voice from a young lady on the other side of the call.

"Y-yes... Who am I talking to?"

《"I am Eiko Tanaka, daughter of Kenichiro Tanaka. Sorry if you contacted you suddenly."》

Gina frowned. He felt confused when he got a call from the daughter of the person who had slandered his adoptive sister.

"Is there anything important you want to say, Miss Tanaka?"

《"Sorry if it interferes with your busy life, Gina-San. I got your number from the City C Association. I'd like to know, can you make an appointment to meet between me and Anna-San?"》

Gina looked at Anna.

"Where is he?" asked Anna, who could hear their conversation.

"Are you in City C?"

《"I'm still in Kyoto. But, if Anna-San pleases, I'll be here soon to see Anna-San."》Eiko Sahut. He spoke in a very gentle and very polite tone.

"I'll see him now. Ask for a photo of the location." Said Anna.
