Chapter 208 The World Needs Heroes (Additional chapter for the Sheep Catcher)
"The fire has been completely extinguished and a cordon has been set up outside the park... There are many people gathered outside the park. It is reported that the incident happened during the Ultra Music Festival and there were more than 40,000 participants in the park..."

Inside the room, Taylor was watching TV and she chose to change the channel.

Another TV media was also broadcasting the tragedy in Bay Park. The picture showed a Mercedes-Benz G-Class rushing towards the tent area. Some of the pictures were mosaiced because they were too bloody. There was a striking title under the video: "Ultra co-founder Russell Fabisch drove his car towards the tent area."

Taylor continued to change channels, and reports related to the Ultra Music Festival continued to appear on the TV screen.

All channels were broadcasting urgent news about ultra.

Taylor picked up her phone again. She had wanted to call Ryan many times during this period, but she held back.

At this time, there was a noise at the door. Taylor turned around and saw that Ryan had returned. He immediately dropped the remote control and ran towards Ryan. Without saying a word, he looked Ryan up and down carefully, and confirmed that Ryan was fine, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ryan also started watching the live news, and he had just learned that Russell drove into the park.

Then the news began to report the history of the Ultra Music Festival. In addition to Russell, the culprit, who had been brought to justice, the Winter Music Conference had also been named, including a number of well-known DJs who participated in the music festival. Ryan was on the list and ranked very high. Taylor was also mentioned afterwards and was designated as a guest performer. The guest performers participating in this year's Ultra Music include the Black Eyed Peas, Perey Farrell, Sugarland, Tinker Bell...

"I will draft an apology statement tonight, stating that although I was only invited to perform, I did not supervise the safety of the music festival. In addition, I will set up a charitable foundation to prevent such incidents from happening again." Ryan said.

"Then I'll do the same." Taylor nodded.

At this moment, the picture on the TV changed and Ryan appeared. Ryan was seen directing the chaotic crowd at the scene, holding a little girl in his hand.

"This is... you?" Taylor was confused.

Only then did she realize why Ryan stayed there.

"It's just a piece of cake." Ryan shrugged.

"You'll become America's superhero like this!" Taylor laughed.

Ryan then received a call from Beric, and the traces inside the abandoned vehicles were thoroughly cleaned up before sinking them into the sea. Beric and his team took another vehicle back to Orlando. This time they came to Miami as "stage construction workers", so they were unnoticed. The videos and pictures posted on the Internet all directly proved that this was a public event, and the way they were dressed in the park made it difficult for them to be suspected.

Ryan and Taylor's statement was issued in the early morning of the same day, and their reaction was the quickest among all the stars who appeared on the show.

Soon, there were many replies on Ryan's Myspace.

Someone photoshopped Ryan's photo into a Superman costume, or replaced Superman's body with Ryan's face. This post received the most likes.

In terms of Twitter trends, Ryan's name also ranked third, just below the two terms "ultra music festival riots" and "Bayfront Park".

When you click on Ryan's entry, you will see photos and videos of Ryan conducting on-site.

As for Taylor, his work attention is currently focused on this matter, but many people have already realized who the song "Despicable" was written for, and it still requires public opinion to ferment.

The next afternoon, Ryan saw the MPD spokesman's statement on TV.

The speech said that yesterday was a heavy day, and then announced the results of the investigation, blaming everything on the out-of-control of the revelers, and pointing the finger at the poor management of "drugs" at large gatherings such as music festivals.

Various Florida legislators have also begun to speak out about this matter, saying that the Florida Legislature will pass a new bill to increase penalties for drugs. Similar bills have also been proposed in Congress, such as strengthening the supervision of music festivals.

Ryan was sure that all these were useless. They were just treating the symptoms without addressing the root cause. If the root was rotten, the leaves would grow crookedly.

However, this is a major benefit for the music festivals that Ryan plans to establish in the future. It can become a powerful weapon against other music festivals. Russell is not the first, nor the last. Those music festival organizers will not let go of this piece of meat. The most they can do is turn a blind eye.

Thinking of the music festival, Ryan called Alex again.

"Ryan, what should we do now?" Alex on the other end of the phone was worried.

He is now a criminal in Miami, just because he is the co-founder of the ultra music festival.

"What can I do? Who knew there would be such a big mess." Ryan shook his head, implying that the acquisition would be terminated.

"You promised me that I would help you..."

"This is a force majeure event, just like a hurricane. Russell is dead and the Ultra Music Festival no longer exists."

Alex hung up the phone in frustration.

This guy is still somewhat useful to Ryan, but Ryan is not ready to reveal his intentions now. It will take two days, at least until the "scars" of the ultra music festival disappear.

In the following days, more and more facts were uncovered by netizens and TV media. The public opinion on the Internet has confirmed that the dead were a group of crazy people who were already high. After all, people who were fighting over drugs at that time could not be normal people. TV media began to focus on Russell Fabisch's situation. The incident was so serious that MPD naturally focused on Russell's entire criminal organization, including his instructions to sell Molly at the music festival.

As for the fact that Russell was a donor to MPD, no one mentioned it at all, as if nothing had ever happened.

In addition, the little girl that Ryan was holding hands with at the time was also dug up by the media. The media that dug up this matter was CW. The family of three is an ordinary family in Miami. The other party expressed their gratitude to Ryan on TV. The broadcast of this part of the news brought Ryan another wave of reputation.

Ryan also got the cover of local media for several consecutive days.

Anyone can see that Ryan’s role in this has been exaggerated. The reason is simple: this matter is inherently very ugly, and only by using Ryan as a typical example can the public’s attention be diverted.

At the mourning ceremony three days later, the governor and a number of Florida congressmen attended. The mayor announced that the park would be reopened to the public after renovation and renamed "Memorial Park." They also announced on the spot that a statue over five meters tall would be cast for Ryan in the park, based on the scene of Ryan holding the little girl's hand.

"Thank you Ryan for your contribution to Miami. The world needs heroes," the mayor said at the end of his speech, and the audience burst into applause.

As the camera changed the angle of view, Ryan suddenly discovered a familiar face sitting in the audience - Nora.

Was she here because of the nature of the land? Ryan thought.

 Thanks to Beski in Florence for another 600 points.

  Thanks to Zhuoyang for the additional 1800 points.

  What else is there to say? I'd like to kowtow to all the supportive godfathers. Without you, there would be no book.
