Chapter 130: Consequences (1)
The good news from the front lines quickly dispersed the gloom that had been hovering over the people of the Alliance.
’The Alliance Army is indeed reliable,’ many thought to themselves. Consequently, on the interstellarnet, many previous insulting comments about the Alliance Army were quietly deleted by their posters, and replaced with words of praise and gratitude.
Yuka looked at these comments, expressionless, then turned off her opticomputer and left her room.
Five minutes later, she arrived at Central Square. She located the meeting spot she had arranged with Toru and Kimiko. Before she could get close, she saw them waving their arms excitedly, faces red as they talked to each other.
Seeing Yuka, their emotions hadn’t yet settled. With puffy, red eyes, they stared at her as she approached, as if harboring deep hatred towards her.
Yuka remained silent.
When Yuka stood in front of them, Toru quickly spoke before Kimiko, "I’ve got Humphrey’s notes, all of his own written confessions. He thinks they’re his masterpiece, ugh... This can be used as evidence. Also, I took pictures of his chat records on his opticomputer. He sold mecha designs to space pirates and even has connections with the royal family. I also photographed the transaction records from the space pirates to him, enough to prove his collusion with both the space pirates and the royal family."
Toru’s findings came at a cost. Ever since he almost got caught by Humphrey while snooping in the office, Humphrey had been wary of him, constantly testing him.
Initially, Tanaka’s students helped Toru deal with Humphrey, but later, when Toru was assigned to a closed experiment with just the two of them, he had to start lying cautiously, even deliberately damaging precious experimental materials to anger Humphrey and get kicked out of the lab to gather evidence.
