Miss President wants to talk to you

The FBI shouldn't have died!

This is Edgar's only thought right now.

Now she must personally hand this evidence to Eleanor.

Edgar suddenly pushed open the door to the temporary office.

Eleanor was sitting inside, writing furiously, drafting the president's speech for later.

Hearing the door open, he looked up and saw Edgar standing in the doorway, panting heavily.

"I found it!"

Edgar couldn’t wait to put the evidence bag on his desk.

"The fragments are in the bag; there are three in total."

"The Quartermaster General's personnel conducted a preliminary comparison on-site and confirmed that the rune engravings and casting process are completely different from the Federal standard!"

Her expression was full of anticipation.

"Can this evidence make up for the mistakes made by the investigation bureau?"

She only mentioned the Investigation Bureau, not herself.

Because Edgar knew he couldn't escape his responsibility.

But the Bureau of Investigation must not be disbanded because of this.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Eleanor remained calm as he took the evidence bag without giving Edgar a definite answer.

He simply lowered his head and continued writing his speech.

Edgar felt uneasy and stood aside.

Because she cared too much, her mind kept wandering.

Why is Eleanor so cold to me? Has she already decided to give up on me?

Is the Investigation Bureau really going to be disbanded?

What can I do to make up for my mistakes?

a long time.

Eleanor stood up and put away her prepared speech.

"Let's go."

He said to Edgar.

"Oh, alright."

Edgar quickly caught up with Eleanor, and after much hesitation, she couldn't help but ask the question that was on her mind most.

"Mr. Hopkins."

She whispered, "The Investigation Bureau...it shouldn't be disbanded, right?"

"Disband?"

Eleanor turned around, frowned, and asked, "Why disband? Director Hoffer, stop thinking about these useless things."

"The Bureau of Investigation will have its power greatly expanded after this incident."

"The only person you should be worried about right now is yourself."

Ok?

Edgar was confused by these words.

What does it mean that the Bureau of Investigation's power will be expanded?

They've made such a huge mess this time; they're lucky they haven't been punished yet. Who would dare to dream of expanding their power?

Does Eleanor really have such confidence that she can distort the truth?!

Edgar wanted to ask for clarification, but Eleanor had already walked away.

She quickly caught up with him.

"Mr. Hopkins, wait for me! What exactly did you mean by what you just said?"

Chapter 47: Press Conference

The White House press briefing room.

Rosef appeared behind the podium.

Below the stage, countless reporters were already prepared.

They exchanged glances.

Some journalists who were biased towards Rosef naturally looked worried and uneasy.

Unexpectedly, Rosef had only been in office for less than a month.

That's how this terrible situation came about.

During a search of the church, agents from the Bureau of Investigation used excessive force, resulting in a death.

It is said that a magic explosive grenade was used at the scene.

Needless to say, it must have been used by those agents from the Bureau of Investigation.

You bastard!

What are they thinking?

Is it because they've dealt with gangs so much that they're confused and mistake religious figures for gangsters?

Can you even use a magic explosion grenade?

If we give them more power, they might even dare to shoot at civilians.

Now things are beyond repair.

Even the most optimistic journalists predicted that Rosemary would first apologize to the public, then deal with the investigation bureau, and give the public an explanation.

It's even possible that it will be banned outright.

Some more pessimistic journalists, however, thought about it on a deeper level.

They could already foresee that this matter would be used as an excuse to attack Rosef, and they refused to budge.

This turmoil will not end unless Rosef relinquishes any benefits or power!

At this time, some religious figures from different churches were also seated at the press conference.

These clergy members, who usually have gentle expressions, showed not a trace of a smile at this moment.

They're here to hold people accountable.

Does the president have any respect for religion or God at all?

The Bureau of Investigation, a secret police force, is able to enter places of worship to conduct searches.

If this continues, it will become unacceptable.

This must be stopped!

Today, they are going to give the president a good talking-to, not only to make Rosef apologize, but also to make her admit to the sin of blasphemy in person!

At this moment, Eleanor was standing in the audience.

He has already handed over the speech and evidence to Rosef and explained the important points to note.

Next, we'll see how the white hamster behaves.

Rosef sat down in front of the microphone and adjusted its height.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough.

The entire press conference hall fell silent.

"Citizens of the Norton Commonwealth."

"Today, I have something to say to you."

"These words are not easy to say, but as your president, I have a responsibility to tell the truth."

Ok?

Upon hearing these words, the people in the audience began to frown.

The president's style... something seems off.

Tell the truth?

Didn't you come here to apologize?

"An explosion occurred at St. Joseph's Cathedral this morning, killing several CBI agents and seriously injuring several others."

"I would like to first extend my deepest condolences to the family of the fallen agent."

Their sacrifices will not be in vain.

"They fell while protecting this country!"

These words immediately caused an uproar at the scene.

Did an agent sacrifice himself to protect the country?

What exactly does the president mean?

The act of violently enforcing the law in a church and detonating a grenade is an extremely heinous act that has been described as a heroic deed.

Reporters immediately raised their hands, their faces extremely unfriendly.
