After spending a day at school, Xia Xu had to take leave again the next day and rush back to Star City.
He needed to cooperate with the joint publicity efforts between the Special Department and Star Sea Group, attend a press conference, and respond to the online requests to verify his identity. All of these required his personal appearance.
At the official level, silence had been maintained regarding the Werewolf Giants incident from the day it happened two days ago until this morning. There had been neither confirmation nor denial, and official media had not mentioned it at all.
But precisely because of this, the arguments and heated discussions online only intensified.
Some believed that with public discussion growing so intense, the authorities would already have stepped in to debunk it if it were false, so the Werewolf Giants incident had to be real.
Others countered that the complete lack of official mention proved that it was false, merely a minor case of rumors spreading among the public that had not warranted official attention or a response.
Both sides stuck to their views and argued endlessly, neither able to convince the other.
And since this argument was destined to go nowhere, the few rational voices and the much larger crowd of onlookers had actually focused their attention on Xia Xu.
Countless people were calling for him to come forward and respond, hoping to verify his identity and the truth of the Werewolf Giants incident.
After all, he was no nobody. With a string of impressive titles, including Star Sea Group's founder and a genius academic standout, a public figure of his stature could not possibly fabricate such a rumor out of nowhere just to attract attention. Once he responded publicly, the truth of the matter would naturally be settled.
