The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 524 Scenic View

After making a fortune at the S.H.I.E.L.D. secret base, Wess looked at the valuable experimental data in his hands and his mind raced, and he immediately thought of Vegapunk.

Vegapunk's head was brimming with more fantastical ideas than stars in the sky.

Wes thought that handing over these materials to him might cause some big stir.

Without hesitation, he teleported and appeared outside Vegapunk's laboratory.

Vegapunk was engrossed in fiddling with a pile of parts when he heard the noise and looked up. Before he could even ask anything, Wes handed him a stack of documents.

Vegapunk took the documents, glanced at them briefly, and his already large eyes widened instantly, his hands trembling with excitement.

His eyes were like someone who hadn't eaten for three days seeing a feast, and without saying a word, he grabbed the documents and plunged into the research, occasionally spouting out a few technical terms that no one else could understand.

As soon as Weiss sent out the information, he immediately arranged for some of America's shady dealings to be published.

The very next morning, these smear stories seemed to have sprouted wings and spread all over the world on the back of the internet.

These news items were even more explosive than a superhero battle, instantly igniting a powder keg of public opinion.

The media were like they were on steroids, with all their cameras and microphones focused on this, rolling news coverage, dominating website headlines—they practically wanted to tear down the White House gates.

Inside the White House, officials were in complete disarray.

The president was so anxious in his office that he was stamping his feet. Documents were overturned on the floor, and orders were being issued like snowflakes. He just wanted to shut up the domestic media and stop these negative stories from spreading.

In this internet age, information is like a wild horse that can't be stopped.

Even though television broadcasts are prohibited, messages on mobile phones, computers, and social media platforms come in waves.

Those internet celebrities and bloggers, with eyes sharper than eagles, seized upon this hot topic and, as if injected with stimulants, frantically forwarded and commented, making the scandal even more sensational.

The US government is in a frenzy, trying every possible means, but finds that it has no way to control the situation.

Finally, the White House spokesperson had no choice but to hold a press conference and bluntly say "fake news" in an attempt to gloss over the matter.

But the public isn't stupid. These scandals are detailed in terms of time, place, people, and everything else. They can even describe what the scene smelled like.

In addition, some American soldiers and agents who had participated in those dirty deeds, some had a change of heart, and some were too to bear the torture, came forward one after another, patting their chests and saying that these things were true.

This caused public opinion to flare up even more intensely, as if a bucket of gasoline had been poured on it.

The United States' international image has plummeted. It used to pretend to be a virtuous and upright person, but now it has been completely exposed. Countries around the world look at the United States with disdain and contempt.

When Thanos snapped his fingers, Earth was struck as if by a heavy hammer, instantly plunging into boundless chaos and endless sorrow.

In the blink of an eye, half the population was gone. Once warm families were torn apart in an instant, and loved ones were separated by life and death.

Those who lost their loved ones felt a burning anger in their hearts, a pain that seemed to pierce their very core. But Thanos was too powerful; they were powerless to resist and could only swallow their pain and rage, burying it deep within their hearts.

At this critical moment, the dirt that Weiss exposed about the United States was like buckets of boiling oil, pouring onto the already simmering anger in people's hearts.

These smear stories spread like wildfire, reaching every corner of the world via the internet and various communication channels.

The anger in the hearts of the people was instantly ignited and could no longer be suppressed or tolerated.

Soon, in the streets and alleys of various cities, countless people, filled with extreme grief and indignation, pushed open their doors and hurriedly walked into the streets.

Holding up placards filled with their demands, their voices were hoarse from shouting, their slogans making the air buzz, all they wanted was for the White House to give them an explanation.

The parade was a spectacular sight, with one procession after another, like a long, winding dragon, filling the main streets of the city to capacity. As far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight.

Anger and disappointment filled everyone's eyes in the crowd. They were disgusted by the despicable things the US government had done and desperately wanted a fair and reasonable explanation.

However, the White House is now in a completely awkward and difficult situation.

They know perfectly well that if they were to come forward and give an explanation, it would be tantamount to admitting that the atrocities in the incriminating materials were committed by the US government.

This is a devastating blow to the image that the United States has worked so hard to maintain internationally, as well as to the already incredibly complex political situation at home, with unimaginable consequences.

After much deliberation and careful consideration, the White House ultimately chose to remain silent.

They still harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking that these so-called "commoners" could do nothing more than take to the streets and protest.

The latest novel is first published here!

If we just stall for time, this storm might just subside like the wind.

But the people in the White House were sorely mistaken; they seriously underestimated the people's resolve.

The protesters did not disperse because of the White House's silence; instead, their anger intensified. Street protests continued day after day, escalating in intensity, while condemnations of the US government flooded social media platforms, one after another, maintaining a high level of public attention.

This wave of protests, sparked by the smear campaign, has snowballed, growing ever larger and heavier, weighing heavily on the US government and making it hard for them to breathe.

"Look at this beautiful sight."

Weiss stood atop the high-rise building, his posture upright, his head slightly bowed, his gaze sweeping over the surging crowd of protesters below, a slight smile playing on his lips.

The streets were packed with people, shoulder to shoulder, holding up all sorts of colorful and eye-catching signs.

"Give me justice!"

"Reveal the truth!"

Words like these stood out starkly in the sunlight. They shouted slogans loudly, their impassioned voices rising and falling, their angry shouts layered upon layer, as if trying to pierce the clouds and overturn the entire city.

Weiss watched all this with great interest, his eyes showing no sympathy or pity for the people's suffering, but rather a gleam of excitement and anticipation, like a director enjoying a grand performance he had meticulously choreographed.

Among the crowd, some people were vehemently denouncing the government, some were tearfully recounting the pain of losing loved ones, and others were waving their fists to express their dissatisfaction with the government.
