Press Conference (Please Vote for the Monthly Ticket)

Alvin stood at the podium and talked nonsense for nearly two hours. No matter what the reporters asked, he could spin it into a thriller-style story about a conspiracy to smear powerful people.

The FBI were useless idiots, the Department of Homeland Security was behind the terrorist attacks, Congressmen were a bunch of greedy bastards, the President was a puppet under someone else's control, and so on and so forth...

The reporters were about to lose their minds. Today had been way too exciting. Every single thing Alvin said deserved to be discussed for a long time.

All the reporters were trying to figure out how to cover this. Even though Principal Alvin's account had been full of words like "speculation," "maybe," "probably," and "possibly"...

He'd cursed out the immediate family of the country's highest decision-maker on live national television. That meant there might, possibly, maybe, be a little truth to this!

Reporters were the people most inclined to believe in conspiracy theories. The smallest thing could set their imaginations running, let alone a situation where "the facts were all right there."

It was a fact that the United States Government hadn't done anything in the past 24 hours. And this was Tony Stark...

Depp, the unlucky government official and the only one who'd come to visit, was now lying in a private room at New York Hospital. In agony, he held his jaw—which had been broken into three pieces—and complained to his daughter through slurred speech. "I went there. Why didn't anyone mention me?"

Ika looked helplessly at her old man. "The best thing you can do right now is stay in the hospital. Maybe that Flat-Nosed Crazy Woman did something good for once.

It's not a bad thing if the media forgets about you for now!"
