Leveling Up With My Pet

Chapter 396 Silencing Skeptics!

As the video showcasing the candid confession of the E-country navy captain resonated throughout the expansive press conference hall, an unmistakable surge of astonishment cascaded through the assembled crowd. Infused with a potent blend of shock and genuine curiosity, reporters worked their laptop keyboards, diligently composing live news releases that skillfully encapsulated the riveting revelation within the fluidity of real-time prose. Against the backdrop of this dynamic tableau, the country M correspondent, who had earlier posed a probing question, inadvertently found himself cast as the unwitting source of amusement—a poetic twist of irony that evoked hearty chuckles from the gathered attendees.

Amid the backdrop of this unfolding drama, Qiu Yang's demeanour projected a blend of satisfaction and awe. He surveyed the room with a mixture of pride and surprise, realizing that the unconventional idea proposed by Liu Yong to record the captain's testimony had yielded a remarkably potent outcome. This swift and impactful counterpunch silenced sceptics and elevated the truth to the forefront.

The aftermath of this single video—a visual embodiment of objective truth—resonated deeply, shaking the foundations of prevailing narratives and undermining the fortress of scepticism. Yet, a lingering question persisted: How had the E-country navy captain been persuaded to expose such damaging information?

The explanation rested within the strategic understanding of Liu Yong—a shining example of his unwavering determination. Equipped with monetary incentives, Liu Yong adroitly secured the revelation of truth. A substantial sum of two million US dollars proved adequate in coaxing the captain to unveil his candid testimony, as endeavours to influence him with attributes were brushed aside. This scenario provided a vivid illustration of the commanding influence wielded by financial incentives and the unpredictable nuances inherent in human motivations.

As the press conference persevered onward, Qiu Yang maintained an unwavering composure amid a relentless onslaught of probing questions. His meticulously crafted and composed answers emerged as an anchor of stability amidst the tempestuous sea of inquiries, casting a reassuring light on the tumultuous landscape of curiosity that enveloped the room. Amidst this ceaseless storm of interrogation, Qiu Yang's responses emerged as a steadfast guide, offering a sense of direction and coherence within the vortex of curiosity and uncertainty that engulfed the conference hall.

As the conference concluded, queries arose regarding the Global Shipping Group's future strategies. Qiu Yang's allegorical response resonated deeply—a brief assertion underscoring the Group's commitment to meeting proportional reactions to aggression.

Subjected to persistent inquiries, Qiu Yang adeptly wove an air of enigma, deftly implying that the opportune instant for divulgence still lingered in the future. The chamber hummed with an electric undercurrent of curiosity as the prospect of imminent revelations tantalized and hovered tantalizingly, almost teasingly, just beyond the realm of immediate grasp.

As the hands of the clock continued their unhurried progression, the press conference inexorably reached its natural conclusion, bringing the curtain down on a spellbinding and rigorous ninety-minute session brimming with an array of disclosures. The rapid cadence of developments didn't decrease, as news agencies swiftly broadcasted the evolving narrative, catalyzing the incident's transformation into an emergent and fervently discussed subject rapidly gaining traction across digital communication channels.

Meanwhile, separated by vast distances spanning thousands of kilometers, a palpable sense of gravity etched itself onto Matthew Ryan's visage in the heart of the E-country Navy Command's sanctum. In the company of fellow officers of the E-National Navy, his attention remained rapt as a comprehensive report was delivered, intricately detailing the full scope of the disaster that had unfolded: two state-of-the-art missile destroyers, bearing the brunt of the catastrophe, now rested ensconced within the unfathomable depths, their tragic demise exacting a toll that numbered in the hundreds.

The scale of the loss was staggering; with less than two hundred survivors, the toll was heartrending. Amid this sorrow, a simmering anger festered, suspicions growing more substantial that the Global Shipping Group bore responsibility. Whispers of muffled noises preceding the vessels' sinking stoked the flames of accusation.

Matthew Ryan's anger was palpable, leading to the violent shattering of a cup—a physical manifestation of the turmoil within. The revelation had left the E-country navy exposed and vulnerable on the international stage, their credibility disintegrated by the very truth they had sought to suppress.

As the discussions persevered, the possibility of responding in kind came to the forefront. Among the assembled officers, a variety of perspectives emerged. While specific individuals were swift to dismiss the notion, suggesting that retaliation might not be feasible, others championed a more tempered approach, emphasizing the need for prudence and careful planning. The sinking of not just one but both of their warships, coupled with the sad news of a submarine's loss from country M, added complexity to their position. This series of setbacks had significantly magnified their vulnerabilities, casting a veil of uncertainty over the efficacy of their future actions.

In this atmosphere of uncertainty, a singular sentiment held sway—unyielding investigation. Matthew Ryan's determination remained unshakeable, a testament to the gravity of the situation. The unconventional tactics the Global Shipping Group employed had exposed vulnerabilities that demanded elucidation lest the E-country navy suffer further catastrophic losses.

In a vastly distant location, separated by thousands of kilometers, the vigilant gaze of Overlord remained unwavering as it stationed itself just beyond the perimeter of Fask Harbor. Within this setting, Liu Yong stood at the helm, a beacon of unwavering patience, cognizant of the paramount importance of impeccable timing and the seamless orchestration of strategic maneuvers. As the contours of a crucial mission took shape on the distant horizon, Liu Yong's consciousness operated on a plane that comprehended the indispensable role of precision in executing each phase of the intricate plan.

Acknowledging the need for respite and strategic timing, Liu Yong steered Overlord away from the immediate vicinity of Fask Harbor. Awaiting the cloak of darkness to descend, the strategic importance of nightfall couldn't be overstated, as Fask Harbor provided an optimal backdrop for their impending action.

A world apart in time and space, Liu Yong accounted for the time zone difference, meticulously planning for the inevitable embrace of nightfall. Under the cover of darkness, Fask Harbor would offer the ideal setting for their imminent operations.

In summary, the video's seismic impact on the press conference hall had triggered a cascade of responses, propelling the unfolding events into the global spotlight. Matthew Ryan grappled with the ramifications of the truth's exposure, while Liu Yong poised himself for a calculated strike under the cover of night, weaving together a narrative that spanned continents and motivations.
