Chapter 236
「This just in, several sources have come forward regarding yesterday’s commotion around the Association's central headquarters. The regional branch managers fell under attack during a meeting to elect their next president. So far, only one survivor has been confirmed. Officials have yet to make a statement... 」
......
「Breaking—officials have confirmed the attack on the Association. Moreover, according to several of their statements, the one responsible for the killings was none other than Kang Jae-Hyeok. Is this an act of political interference? As of right now, Kang Jae-Hyeok’s whereabouts are unknown.」
......
「 We’ve got another report coming in from the ongoing congressional press release. It seems that yesterday... Kang Jae-Hyeok assaulted one of Korea's top military prisons, during which he broke out his sister, disgraced Lieutenant Colonel Kang Hyeon-Ah. Initial estimates on property damage range in the hundreds of billions...」
「This just in, the Ministry of Defense has announced the death of General Cha Seung-Min, who happened to be visiting the prison when it came under attack. They... have named Kang Jae-Hyeok as the culprit. 」
The news broke rapidly, leaving anchors bewildered and confused, but the public's confusion was even more pronounced.
The main pillars of the Association and an army general were killed overnight? And the one responsible was none other than their cherished young hero, Kang Jae-Hyeok, the hope of Korea?
The public was in turmoil.
But it was the politicians who were knee deep in the chaos:
“Let it go. There is no reason to overrule the information embargo! We’ve already shared the facts of yesterday’s incidents. There’s no need to piddle around with additional voting and press releases.
“I disagree. Already, rumors are circulating that the new National Treasure candidate committed a string of unprovoked murderers. How can we let such inflammatory rumors spread without correcting them?”
