Chapter 462: 172, earth-shattering thunder!_1
After Lin Mo issued the order, countless negative news stories about America and about Clinton Hamilton and her husband were distributed to the offices of major newspapers, television media, and online platforms.
No one was clean, especially not the couple; what they had done in the past was simply too numerous to count and too egregious to be exposed.
Unlike Grand Xia, America was a nation governed by both the Liberal and the Conservative Parties, and the relationship between the two was already strained.
To the media affiliated with the Conservative Party, it might be possible to suppress these stories for a while, but those of the Liberal Party did not care for such scruples, not even bothering to verify whether the news was true or false before publishing!
After all, this was all about traffic—the first to break the news would grab the lion’s share of attention.
And when the Liberal Party media outlets started publishing, not even the Conservative Party media could sit idly by. They too began to spread the stories.
Ultimately, everyone was in it for profit, and no one could remain indifferent in the face of such immense traffic.
The media organizations were tripping over one another to fabricate news and topics, while across many places in America, some of the victimized women, encouraged by family and friends, walked into local police stations, describing to the officers what had happened to them on certain ships.
The details were simply stupefying!
When names of celebrities from America, some even with high renown worldwide, including entertainers and scientists, began to pour out from the victims’ mouths,
The officers began to realize that a storm was brewing over America.
They could hardly believe that even a famous scientist, paralyzed from neck down with only two fingers mobile, could commit acts so depraved and maddening.
It was monstrous,
even more so than the exploits of a serial killer.
These were children!
Some officers chose to suppress the revelations, but others, choosing to stand for justice, began to investigate immediately.
Particularly since the laws varied from state to state, and it was the more developed states that were most affected by this incident, providing an opportunity for the less-advanced states to vent their frustrations!
America, being a federation, meant each state was essentially like a separate nation; even Olima would have to negotiate with these states to quell the uproar.
And commanding them to make the news disappear with a single order was simply impossible.
Beyond that,
some media websites and independent media figures that had been cultivated or sponsored by Lin Mo also began to release relevant content.
Added to this were efforts from international media, ensuring that the public had no chance to miss the information.
In terms of information dissemination, the speed and scale of spreading in America were much faster and wider than in Grand Xia, expanding exponentially.
Dark’s operation was the most formidable.
He led countless hackers to project interviews of the girls’ harrowing experiences directly onto the screens of shopping malls, bus stations, and airports across America.
Such actions instantly drew crowds and discussions among the public, offline.
Times Square.
In front of the giant floor-to-ceiling screens, there was a throng of gawking American citizens, along with tourists from around the world.
Many had been live-streaming the bustling streets, showcasing to viewers in their own countries just how advanced and open America was, but were soon captivated by the content on the huge ad screens.
On the big screen, a gaunt-looking girl, her voice breaking with sobs, was recounting the darkest moments of her life.
“From the moment we stepped onto that ship, a terrible nightmare would haunt us for the rest of our lives. We were treated like slaves, like objects of ridicule, even as food to be consumed at will.”
“Beds and men were what we encountered the most every day!”
“Most of us didn’t even live to see 15, and those who were lucky enough to survive led a life of despair, a life worse than death.”
“I’ve seen many notable figures in the news on that ship, scientists, even great figures from our own nation, including the Clintons, Hamiltons, and many politicians…”
“They all showed a different face on that ship, faces of true demons, real devils!!!”
“I hope someday everyone will recognize them for what they are and what they’ve done to us!”
As she spoke, the girl in the screen lost control of her emotions, shedding her clothing to reveal startling scars on her fair skin.
There were whip marks, knife cuts, burns, and even bite marks.
These scars had obviously been there for years, and the girl’s apparent age made it unimaginable how young she must have been when they were inflicted.
After one girl finished her story, the second, third, and fourth followed…
All these girls shared similar experiences, yet each bore distinct scars, and some bodies were already terribly mutilated.
Some had lost vital organs, some were attached to colostomy bags, and some had gaping scars where their hearts should be.
The advertising screens at Times Square were shut off, and the streetlights mysteriously dimmed.
The same happened in other states; many public displays chose to go dark.
Such actions did not quell the questions and outrage from the public. Contrarily, they only increased the people’s suspicions about the truth of the events.
