Replace me as the top scholar? Go talk to my Marshal Grandpa!

The scene erupted in chaos!

Curse Kill!

Remote Curse Killing Technique!

Murder to cover it up in the highest-level temporary detention center!

This goes beyond the scope of ordinary criminal cases; it is a blatant provocation against the imperial judicial system!

Wang Xian ignored the commotion below the stage.

His voice grew louder and louder, and his emotions became increasingly volatile:

"Why kill Bai E?"

"Because he possesses my S-rank talent! Because some people fear my identity, afraid that I will truly grow stronger after regaining my talent! Because they want to completely cut off my future!"

"They succeeded."

"My S-rank talent was burned to ashes along with Bai E's corpse."

At this moment, Wang Xian's voice trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.

That wasn't fear, it was anger, it was humiliation.

The silence from the audience reached its peak.

Countless reporters forgot to ask questions, forgot to take notes, and just stared blankly at the boy on the stage.

Wang Xian took a deep breath and calmed herself down.

His voice returned to calm, but beneath that calm lay a deeper chill.

"But they are not satisfied yet."

"They not only want to ruin my future, but also take away things that don't belong to them."

Wang Xian looked at the camera, her tone regaining its composure, yet every word was like a knife:

"Everyone knows that while 'talent transplantation technology' is unethical, it has enormous value—especially for certain people."

"So, these people who hide in the shadows and don't even dare to show their true faces have turned their attention to this technology after destroying my S-class talent."

"They first manipulated public opinion in the shadows, inciting the public to launch large-scale protests simultaneously in five provinces across the country, chanting the slogan 'Completely destroy talent transplantation technology.'"

Why would they do this? Do they really want to destroy the technology?

Wang Xian gave a cold laugh.

"No! They just want to use the public's sense of justice and panic to put pressure on me and the Wang family."

"Their real goal isn't to destroy the technology, but rather—"

Wang Xian paused, enunciating each word clearly:

"They forced me to make a deal with them."

The audience was silent.

All the reporters held their breath.

Wang Xian's voice clearly reached everyone's ears:

"The bargaining chips are: they will provide me with an A-level talent and step in to quell public opinion nationwide."

"In exchange, I need to hand over the core data on the 'Talent Transplantation Technology,' and..."

His voice grew even colder:

"Release that governor, Li Mo, who helped Hengjin Group oppress me and even ordered them to cripple my hands and feet."

"Because Li Mo is one of their people."

boom--

The entire venue erupted!

Reporters no longer cared about interview etiquette, and stood up one after another. Flashbulbs went off wildly, and countless questions flooded the podium like a tidal wave!

"Wang Xian! Who are these 'certain people' you're referring to?!"

"What specific conditions did they propose?!"

"Which faction does the Circuit Intendant Li Mo belong to?!"

"Have you agreed to this deal?!"

Wang Xian did not answer these jumbled questions.

He sat there quietly, waiting for the commotion below the stage to subside slightly before speaking again.

The sound, at this moment, became very calm.

It was even eerily calm.

"So now I have two paths before me."

He stretched out his right hand and raised one finger.

"The first path."

"Agree to their deal, accept the A-level talent they're giving away, hand over the technology, release Li Mo, in exchange for calming public opinion and creating the illusion that there's still a future."

"Then, I will spend the rest of my life with an inferior product that will never be as good as my original talent, and a stain of being forced to bow down and compromise."

He raised his second finger.

"The second way."

"Refuse to make a deal, and insist that the provincial governor Li Mo pay the price for what he has done."

"Then they won't lose out either, because they can achieve their true goal without paying anything—to deprive me of the opportunity to use the talent transplant technology, to make me, the 'son of the king,' completely lose the hope of becoming stronger, and to make me forever unable to pose any threat to them."

Wang Xian put her hand down.

Looking at the reporters in the audience, moved by his experience and with sympathy and anger in their eyes, and at the countless ordinary people watching the live broadcast behind the camera.

He knew that his speech was already halfway to success!

Today's speech is intended to achieve three objectives.

First, he gained immense prestige among the public by using the technology to destroy talent transplantation techniques.

Second, he will retaliate against the three forces targeting him.

Third, completely suppress the governor Li Mo.

The first objective is almost achieved.

If he ultimately makes a choice in front of the public and completely destroys the talent transplant technology, he will gain immense prestige.

His previous speeches were also laying the groundwork for this.

Because if the talent transplantation technique is destroyed before he even gives his speech.

At most, he can only gain a little bit of reputation.

Because the public is unaware of his situation.

Now that he has said it, everyone knows that he has been targeted by certain people.

The other party not only cursed and destroyed his talent vessel, but also forced him to hand over the technology, or else they would ruin his future.

Faced with this situation.

If he were to state in public that even without a future, he would not allow talent transplantation technology to shake the foundations of the nation or leave the people in the shadows, fearing that one day his children and family members would mysteriously disappear because of awakened talents, then he would choose to completely destroy talent transplantation technology!

It's easy to imagine the damage these words will inflict on the public.

His reputation will reach an unprecedented level!

The second objective can be accomplished once the first objective is achieved.

Because at that time he will have unprecedented prestige.

The public may not know who some of the people he mentioned are, but that doesn't matter!

The Wang family has already arranged for an online army to secretly guide public opinion, implying that the power behind Li Mo is the Long family of the capital, and presenting some evidence to influence public opinion, so that the masses who are angry because they know about Wang Xian's experience will attack the Long family and complete the counterattack!

As for the third objective, it has already been achieved.

After he reveals the details of the deal, the crowd, knowing the contents of the deal, will not let Li Mo off the hook.

so.

He has already accomplished half of his goal in today's speech, and now he is going to accomplish the rest!

Wang Xian took a deep breath, her voice becoming heavier and more sincere:

"Fellow journalists and fellow countrymen watching the live broadcast, I would like to ask you a question."

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the entire room:

"Do you...have children? Do you have younger siblings? Do you have family members you cherish?"

Many people in the audience nodded subconsciously.

Wang Xian continued:

"If one day, your child, your younger sibling, your family member, because they have awakened a decent talent—even if it's just a B-level or a C-level talent—suddenly disappears, vanishes, and can never be found again."

How would you feel?
