After all, he was a national hero who hailed from their very own city of Horington.

Moreover, he was no ordinary man. He hailed from a wealthy family, powerful enough to rival nations. Such a person should have stayed above the fray of worldly matters. Yet, scenes of Kallum leading the charge in the battlefield of Lostaria occasionally made their way back through war reports.

Hence, even though the Fairchild family didn’t intentionally publicize it due to Kallum’s infection, the general public was still able to learn about Kallum’s exploits in Lostaria through reports, and they felt a sense of pride because of it,
Seeing them deep in thought, Levi breathed a sigh of relief and continued, “The leader of the chaos in Lostaria, Kiefer, once suffered a great loss at the hands of Mr. Kallum. Therefore, after his plot failed, he harbored a deep–seated grudge against Mr. Kallum. Despite being wanted by thirteen countries, he still risked it all and smuggled himself here by sea with hundreds of his men, seeking revenge on Mr. Kallum. The people on the stage are all his subordinates. This evening, during the news broadcast, Chanaea Television would announce each of their names and statuses, verifying what I say as truth!”
The crowd was puzzled. What do these international political situations have to do with the viral outbreak that is currently plaguing Horington?
Levi explained. “Last night, Mr. Kallum apprehended Kiefer, a significant achievement. However, before that, Kiefer had sent over a hundred men to capture Ms. Stafford, intending to use her as leverage against Mr. Kallum. Despite their efforts, the astute Ms. Stafford evaded capture, but not without sustaining a gunshot wound to her shoulder. Those despicable terrorists, aiming to incite widespread panic in the city and inflict substantial loss on Mr. Kallum, contaminated the bullet with a virus. Therefore, Ms. Stafford only contracted the infection last night!”
A single statement caused an uproar among the crowd below. Is it true that Calista was infected just yesterday! Some witnesses recalled the sight of Calista’s arm bleeding profusely the night before. Could all of this have been a plot by foreign terrorists?
“Lies! Calista had been researching the K virus a long time ago. She must have gotten infected herself. that’s why she’s been researching it so hard! Or maybe she accidentally got infected during her research. You people should stop wasting your energy trying to clear her name!”
Instinctively, Levi glanced at the person who had spoken. That individual seemed incredibly uneasy, having fanned the flames of fire. They quickly hid within the crowd, fearful of being discovered. Ads by PubFuture
The public began to harbor doubts, primarily because Calista had been consistently studying the K virus. The possibility that she could be infected, or might have already been infected, was a very plausible explanation.
Levi sneered, “If Ms. Stafford was infected long ago, why would she carelessly expose herself like that? Those who saw her last night would have noticed that she was stumbling along, barely conscious. A gunshot to the shoulder wouldn’t have caused this. It was because she was feverish and not fully aware, doesn’t this prove that she was recently infected?”
Levi cleverly shifted the blame for Calista’s unsteady walk, which was unclear, to having a fever due to an initial infection.
Others didn’t understand just how severe the gunshot to her arm was. They instinctively believed Levi’s words. assuming that Calista was unaware of her infection and the subsequent fever that had set in. After

all, how could someone with a gunshot wound to the shoulder not see the path ahead clearly?

Seeing the crowd’s anger seemingly subside considerably, someone grew impatient and shouted out.
“He was lying. Calista was clearly infected long ago! Besides, even if Calista was only infected yesterday. she’s a virus researcher herself. She should have known what was going on the moment she had a fever. Yet, she still went to populated areas, it was obviously deliberate! This whole mess was stirred up by the Fairchild family and Calista. There’s no doubt about it. Even if there were terrorists involved, they were the ones who invited trouble! And then, we, the ordinary folks, got dragged into it. The Fairchild family must be held accountable!”
This time, the instigator of public opinion was swiftly apprehended. Two burly men, clad in neat black attire, hoisted the petite man onto the stage. As he struggled, his voice grew shrill with fear.
“Why are you holding me? Can’t a person speak the truth anymore? It’s the Fairchild family who’s brought trouble upon us ordinary people! Do you think you can escape blame and be forgiven? Let me tell you…”
As he was speaking, his words abruptly halted. This was because he saw a man, slowly making his way onto the stage and moving toward him….
For the first time, Kallum donned a suit of pure black. It accentuated his towering and upright figure, his chiseled features gave off a hostile aura. As soon as he made his appearance, he immediately commanded the attention of the entire venue.
“Speak up, why aren’t you continuing?”
The low, pleasant voice carried a domineering undertone. Kallum watched the man who was clearly hired by someone else, a flicker of disdain flashing in the depths of his eyes.
“Many countries were hoping for discord within Chanaea. With the recent events, I’ve received. information that numerous foreign agents have been stirring the pot, bribing unprincipled individuals in an attempt to unsettle the public. Seeing your frantic behavior, I believe it’s necessary to scrutinize your
accounts.”
As soon as Kallum appeared, the initially restless atmosphere strangely settled under his dominance. Compared to his once dazzling demeanor, the current Kallum had become much more composed. Like a pearl, his brilliance was restrained yet impossible to ignore.
Upon hearing Kallum’s words, the person who was dragged up became rather anxious.
