Chapter 109: Breaking the News

Not an hour after the destruction of the Pentagon, the whole United States began to boil, countless Americans thought that terrorists had occupied Washington, and countless Americans gathered around the fire of the Pentagon to follow the development of events. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Journalists have surrounded the Pentagon and the White House, just waiting for an official government spokesman to come forward and explain the vicious incident.

The US government is also beginning to boil, the Pentagon is the headquarters of the US Department of Defense, and because of its special functions, the term "Pentagon" is not only the building itself, but also often serves as a synonym for the US Department of Defense and even the US military authorities.

However, this famous American building is now in ruins, and countless government officials and military elites who have not had time to escape are buried under the rubble.

This day is destined to be remembered by all Americans.

Arthur's retaliation was so terrifying that it directly put the US military decision-making body in the pot.

After Stryker escaped the Pentagon, he went straight to the White House to report to the president.

Arthur's retaliation has deeply hurt the US government, and by this time the White House has become a mess, and the political bigwigs represented by the US president have gathered to discuss the rescue matter.

"Send all the firefighters in Washington to the Pentagon and help the military rescue the victims!"

"All hospitals are ready to receive the wounded."

"The army mobilized me, and Washington entered the stage of combat readiness to prevent a terrorist attack from happening again!"

Although the president was in a state of anger, he still forcibly suppressed his anger and began to arrange his work in an orderly manner.

"Your Excellency, what should I do with press statements!" When such a major event happens, the government must give the people an explanation, but how to characterize this incident has become a difficult problem.

"Let's just say it's a Pentagon gas pipeline explosion!" The president, for political purposes, can only define the destruction of the Pentagon as an accident.

"But many people have seen military warplanes appear in the sky over the Pentagon, I'm afraid we can't hide it!"

The president massaged his forehead, but something else happened that gave him more headaches.

"Something happened again!" A presidential assistant entered the office in a hurry, turned on the TV directly, and let everyone see the news that was playing on the TV!

"According to reliable sources, the current US Secretary of Defense William Stryker has abused his power for personal gain since taking office, not only accepting a large amount of bribes, but also conducting inhumane mutant experiments! Let's watch the experiment video! ”

Then there were a lot of video materials on TV of Stryker experimenting with mutants, some of them were disemboweled, and the whole video was inhumane and outrageous, but everyone could clearly see Stryker's face.

Arthur's second phase of revenge came, with Xiao Yue'er's hacking skills, plus those Stryker's subordinates who couldn't withstand the torture, Arthur couldn't find any government black materials, and even found evidence of the president's bribery and cheating.

After watching the TV news, everyone in the president's office looked at Stryker, and the originally noisy office could be heard pins falling.

"This is slander, blatant slander!" Stryker roared angrily, but few people around him believed his words, it was not a secret that Stryker experimented with mutants, but these were all carried out secretly and could not be made public, otherwise human rights organizations would go crazy, and Stryker's political career would be over.

"Your Excellency the President, in addition to Minister Stryker, there are also a large number of high-ranking military officials who have been exposed to the abuse of power for personal gain, and there are even revelations from you!" The presidential assistant brought bad news after bad news to the people in the office.

Stryker didn't expect Arthur to even find the president's black material, and no one's ass is clean for anyone who can sit in a high-level position in the United States, but these black materials are very secretive and ordinary people can't find out, but Arthur found out and boldly stormed it to the media, Arthur's punch can be said to hit everyone's soft underbelly.

These officials, including the president, are not afraid of terrorist attacks, but are afraid of losing the trust of the people and thus losing their official positions, as the "Watergate" scandal of that year is an example.

"Mobilize all the PR forces for me to put this matter to rest!" As soon as the president saw that his black material was also exposed to the news, he immediately shouted angrily.

The president's anger now is heavier than the Pentagon's destruction.

"Arrest me for this bastard who broke the news!"

I don't blame the president for being angry, this year is an election year, and he is about to enter the election process when his term of office is approaching, but now that these things have happened, I am afraid that he will not be able to be re-elected as president.

The people present are all good people and know the reason for the president's anger, but now that the news is flying all over the sky, it is impossible to suppress it, and many people have begun to think about changing the dock and planning for their future.

"Your Excellency President, this must have been done by Arthur Stacy, we can't just leave it at that!"

The president angrily slapped the table and roared at Stryker, "It's not you who caused the trouble!"

"Things have developed to such a point that we have no choice but to bring the murderer to justice!" Stryker knew he was finished, and he only wanted to die with Arthur now.

"Arthur Stacy is lawless and has committed such a heinous act, we can't just forget it, we must be severely punished!"

"What about the evidence?" The president stared at Stryker with a red face and said, "What proof do you have to prove that Arthur Stacy did all these things!"

In normal times, the president would have mobilized all the forces of the United States to deal with Arthur regardless of any evidence, but not now, after the destruction of the Pentagon, the US government has become the focus of public opinion, and he cannot make a mistake.

Stryker was speechless for a while, in fact, he did not have any evidence of Arthur's crime, although the Night Stalker Office usually acted in a legal manner, but there was always a bottom line, and no evidence was left behind, which is why Stryker wanted to shoot against Arthur's relatives.

Stryker suddenly feels that Arthur is a formidable opponent, even more terrifying than Professor X and Magneto.

People who have strength are not terrible, but people who have strength but no weaknesses are terrible.

Magneto has power, but unfortunately his background is too dark, and his criminal history is a foot thick, and Stryker uses the power of public opinion to force him to hide in the shadows and play conspiracy.

Professor X's abilities are even more terrifying, but his noble character limits his power, and Stryker has used the future of the mutant community to suppress him within the school over the years, and he is not allowed to use the power to change the world.

But Arthur is different from Magneto and Professor X, although he is a mutant, he does not abuse his powers, he knows how to hide himself and use human means to deal with humans, and what is even more terrifying is that Stryker has not figured out Arthur's background until now, it seems that Arthur's power is diverse, and he will surprise everyone every once in a while.

"You better hide, now the pressure of public opinion is focused on you, you avoid the limelight, and come out when things are dull!" The president is about to give up his own defense minister, Stryker's reputation is now stinky, and the only thing the president has to do is to abandon the car to protect the commander, and not let Stryker implicate him.

Stryker, who knows the way of politics, leaves the president's office in despair and secretly goes to his secret base in Canada to escape the limelight, while he also wants to find a way to deal with Arthur.

It's a pity that Arthur has always done things either not or if he wants to do it, and he is not ready to let Stryker go.
