God of Tricksters

Chapter 1807 Protection

The people inside the laboratory didn't know what to do. On the one hand, they had no idea what was going to come after this. On the other hand, they knew the government wouldn't allow them to spread the news.

"Ronald. What's going on?" One of the journalists asked. His heart was filled with anxiety.

Ronald sighed and explained the whole truth. "You should be aware of the laboratory the government has, right?"

"Yes."

"The government forced me to ask Sir Theo for the information about that laboratory."

"Huh?" The people were confused, not knowing what happened behind the scenes.

"Yeah. They got my family, so I had no choice. Despite knowing I would betray him, Sir Theo helped me. He protects my family and helps me like this. That's why I'm here asking you guys to cover all the evidence." Ronald made a sad smile as if he was disappointed in himself when betraying Theo.

But everyone couldn't help but relate his situation with all the government agencies. It was clear that the government had the ability to do it.

"So, they're targeting this laboratory as well?"

"I believe so." Ronald nodded. "I have no proof about this and I don't know whether this is true or not. But Sir Theo told me the Vice President is missing. That's the reason for rescheduling his trial."

"W-what?!" The people widened their eyes in shock.

The skytubers' viewers were crazy after hearing that piece of information. Because he had no proof of it, he couldn't share it in the news he published.

But hearing the information came from Theo directly, they couldn't dismiss it simply.

"Are you saying the Vice President has escaped?" One of them asked for confirmation, thinking she didn't hear it right.

Ronald nodded. "Yeah. Though, I'm not sure right now. But the current speculation is… the government is planning to seize this laboratory and prevent us from releasing the news. That way, they can claim they have all this evidence and use it to prosecute the escaping Vice President. For the people, they believe the Vice President has been sentenced to death. But in reality, the Vice President is still on the run."

"Wait, Ronald. I don't understand. How the hell can the Vice President escape?"

"I'm not sure, but he should be escaping when Sir Theo led the army to fight in the frontline."

The people fell silent. They couldn't brush this matter off easily, considering everything made sense.

At the same time, the fact that they had no proof made it hard for the people to accept. After all, it looked like slanders.

Though, the government had been the biggest power in this base, they might do something like this just to maintain their image.

And they had to check it personally with the people who kidnapped Eigo.

"Let's hurry and check outside. Even if we're captured, there is some footage about us appearing here." Ronald pointed up. "Even if the government tries to shut their mouth, the proof is still there."

They nodded with serious expressions. They were scared, but Ronald left them no choice since he had no hesitation to run to the exit.

The journalists and the skytubers were following him. The skytubers were watching how the viewers caused a huge ruckus in the chat while the journalists had prepared their cameras along with their Skylink. They were going to move fast to capture and upload everything.

As soon as it reached the Skynet, the government would have a hard time erasing that proof.

As soon as they were outside, they saw Felix surrounded by many people.

Felix was frowning, staring at these people. There were around thirty people who surrounded this area. And Eigo was in their custody.

Seeing how they threatened Felix with Eigo's life, it was no wonder why Felix hadn't defeated them yet.

"Hey, there are more!"

"Capture them!"

Felix gritted his teeth and jumped back, slashing the ground. Suddenly, a translucent barrier was erected, trying to protect all of them.

"Go back. I can't protect all of you if you're out in the open like this. As for that guy, I'm going to help him in one way or another." Felix waved his hand, asking them to go down.

"Are we—" Ronald wanted to say something, but Felix waved his hand again, asking them to go back. The situation was extremely dangerous. If they had more hostages, he wouldn't be able to do anything.

"This…" Ronald gritted his teeth and turned around. "Let's go back inside. Protecting us inside is easier for him. He told me he's guaranteeing our safety, so he can't do much when Eigo is taken hostage. If we get captured as well, he won't be able to do anything."

They were confused, but they ended up going back inside the facility. Some of them managed to capture the situation with their cameras, especially the veteran journalists.

With many decades of experience, they knew they had to capture everything right at the start as they might not get the opportunity to do so.

And the journalists also made a synergy with the skytubers.

"Hey…" One of the journalists approached the skytubers and showed his Skylink, specifically a picture of a guy outside. "Can you check this guy?"

"Huh?" The skytubers were confused at first, but they pointed their cameras at the picture so that the viewers could take a look as well.

"So, do any of you guys know about this guy?" One of the skytubers asked.

"Help us find the information about them, will you? And place it on the chat… It might save our lives."

"I don't really rely on them." The journalist snorted and said, "I just want a digital record. Since you've seen the picture, I'm going to use my connection to find out about them."

Typernilay: What did he say? He's underestimating us. Let's find that guy's identity before him!

Baturaja: Yes. Let's go. Make that guy eat his own words.

The viewers felt challenged as they were immediately getting the picture to find that guy's identity.
