BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1518 Statements
There was a rumor in the Skynet that spread like a blazing forest fire. The Lexon Group was the one in charge of the video that took down Theo's reputation, it wasn't that hard for them to spread something similar.
"The Griffith Family is actually the culprit of the chaotic apocalypse?"
"The Theodore Griffith they claimed to escape the Griffith Family because he wanted to destroy the world was actually a lie?"
"The one who wanted to destroy the world was actually the Griffith Family? And Theodore Griffith was actually leaving the family because he didn't agree with that idea?"
"The union actually brought in the bad guy and pushed out the good guy? They even let them die?"
Rumors like this spread in the Skynet, causing a huge ruckus not only in the union but also in the US Base and United Asia.
…
Italy.
Yermolayev, who was protected by the War God Family, stood in front of the media and gave his own opinion.
"To be honest, my father, the Wind Emperor, is Theo's good friend. And I have seen Theo many times, so I know that Theo is not like that. If I remember, he once revealed the plot of the Safulli Group, which angered the World Class Monster before the apocalypse. If you take a look at it, didn't he save Italy from destruction?
"What's about my action who suddenly sold everything for the sake of survival? Of course, I knew about what the Griffith Family wanted to do. Even Theo should have told you about that. Unfortunately, the Griffith Family had deleted all of them because they are the number one hidden family. Erasing those kinds of data is simple.
"Theo once got attacked by them and had to hide in the past by faking his death. You can see that Theo has been fighting the Griffith Family this whole time, but the other party is simply too strong. It's not that he didn't want to tell you, he simply couldn't.
"That's why I was disappointed when I knew that the union banished Theo and let him die. They even brought the Griffith Family to the union. The anger in my heart was simply too much. They pushed the good guy away and invited the bad guy… No wonder the world is in chaos.
"Also, to the people who believed the video without trying to find the proof, I am utterly disappointed. It's because of you guys that he dies…"
Yermolayev could only shake his head helplessly, disappointed. He was also disappointed by the people who immediately turned against Theo without trying to prove the accuracy of that video.
This speech shook the world as well as all the people who watched it. They never expected that the truth had been buried this whole time. They trusted the wrong person.
Regret… They could only regret it because they were the ones who killed Theo this time. If they pushed the government to step up to protect Theo, they would still have a hero that could save the situation.
Yermolayev even told them that the plan of the union as well as the base came from Theo himself. Before his death, he still tried to contribute to humanity. There were no words that could justify their actions. No matter how they regretted it, Theo wouldn't come back to life.
…
US Base.
Maya also caused another ruckus.
"I'm utterly disappointed that the union has thrown away the best guy they could hope for. You must have seen me denying my relationship with Theo… That's because of the Griffith Family.
"Did you see the chaotic situation that my company had to endure? It was because of the connection with Theo. This was the power of the number one hidden family.
"Theo asked me to declare all that because he didn't want to see my company and me suffer. But despite all that, he still asked me to get more resources and all kinds of weapons to prepare for the worst. He wanted me to save as many people as possible.
"And look at this, I've provided a weapon for fifty thousand people, and our base can become strong and independent. With his help, I believe that I can reconnect to the world with a new airplane that can travel across the ocean safely.
"Everything he did was for humanity. Yet, humanity threw him away. I'm disappointed in humanity, including myself. I wish I was stronger at that time so that I could support him against all odds."
Maya let out a sigh and turned around because she was truly disappointed. She could only walk away after that speech.
…
United Asia.
Agata was sitting down with a sad expression as she was accompanied by three people, Feng Hao, Nagasawa Ken, and Tirta Kurniawan.
The Sword Saint stepped forward and said, "The truth has been revealed. I'm sure you know that my daughter has been helping Theo. It was all for this. We were simply trying to provide you a safe haven and prepared for the worst.
"Theo could meet the Heavenly Sovereign in Japan because he visited me. And Ergene, Theo's subordinate, visited Tirta Kurniawan for it. Theo had been trying to contact the world's leader since he knew normal people wouldn't believe him and those in power could do more than ordinary people. We all wanted to help, but it was too late. The apocalypse happened far too soon, causing the world to fall to this state.
"I wouldn't blame anyone in this matter. However, I am disappointed because the union pushed him away just like that even though they had taken advantage of him and could survive because of him."
…
All statements came from Theo's past allies, making it a bit more believable because they could finally speak up after a long time.
This wasn't a conspiracy theory anymore. It was the trial that the world set up to judge the Griffith Family.
Obviously, the Griffith Family tried to push the blame to the Lexon Group since they were the ones sending Yermolayev. But the Lexon Group simply pushed it back to the Griffith Family by showing that the video was fake, and the Griffith Family forced them to spread it.
The two big groups were mutually injured after all this.
Meanwhile, the one who caused all this ruckus, Theo, simply watched it from a rooftop, watching the town coolly. There was a smile on his face, as if telling them.
"Serve you right."
