Chapter 431 - Explosion (2/2)
Zhang Heng had already changed two sets of clothes while escaping, but his hair still contained some traces of dust.
“I encountered a difficult opponent. It wasn’t that hard to defeat her, actually… I was mainly worried that Black Nest would capture me if I was stuck fighting for too long. So I had to do something minor to get out of there.”
“That’s not something minor. You’ve got reporters rus.h.i.+ng over there, and its already on the news on a few channels. Some are even suspecting a terrorist attack,” Waldo said while facing the computer.
Zhang Heng took a towel from Little Boy and wiped his face and hair. “Let Black Nest worry about it. They’ll find a way to settle the problem. After all, they still want to kill Edward. Things are starting to get more serious now.”
“We should move Edward to a safe place as soon as possible,” Ponytail said.
“Thank you, but I can’t leave yet. I have to fulfill my promise and expose what Black Nest has done to the public.”
“But now, these guys are starting to panic. They will do whatever it takes to kill you before you can speak to the public,” Philip warned, sounding worried.
“Or you can pa.s.s the information to one of us, and we will announce it on your behalf,” Ponytail suggested.
“No, it took me a long time to find three honest and selfless people I think I can trust. I took risks communicating with them, establis.h.i.+ng a connection, and gaining their trust. The three of them represent traditional media, emerging online forums, and doc.u.mentaries. I need to tell them the truth face-to-face. It has to be me, and it can only be me. Only via that can it be a credible matter. Black Nest has enormous power, but they can’t cut off all three channels simultaneously. As long as these three channels work together, Black Nest will eventually meet their demise,” Edward insisted.
“When?” Zhang Heng asked. “The team will come to Toulouse in two days.”
“Black Nest has already hacked your mailbox. So, they probably already knew about the meeting.”
“No, I encrypted my mail this time, and it will be destroyed after I read it. Even if they hacked into my original mailbox, they wouldn’t know who I am contacting.”
“Even so, it’s just too dangerous to risk it,” Ponytail shook his head, “How long will it take to complete the interview?”
“I have a lot of things to tell them, and since they don’t work in our field, I have to explain everything to them in layman terms. I estimated that it would take three days or two and a half at the least to complete the interview.”
“Did you know, that’s long enough for Black Nest to kill you a hundred times over?!” Waldo asked in disbelief.
“Yes, so I may need some help,” Edward looked at everyone, “Words cannot describe how grateful I am for everything that you’ve done for me. Really, I have known you people for so long now, but I have never been able to meet up with all of you. I wish that we could have met in a better place. There’s nothing I can do about it since the matter has almost gotten out of my hand. Perhaps when everything is over, we can reintroduce ourselves in a nice café. But now, we’ll have to complete what hasn’t been completed.”
