The three people in the room returned to watching the press conference, deciding to postpone any form of questioning after they heard everything Emanuel had to say. This acted as nothing other than the worst nightmare which a person wouldn't want to experience personally; In his mind, the timer to his punishment had already started as he tried to come up with an explanation as to how the heck Emanuel even recorded something that happened inside a room which he was sure of having no cameras at all since he personally had made sure of that before arriving at that room.
'Shit, look like Kassim is going to make a return after all,' He thought to himself as he remembered the side eye he had received from George, who had been the mastermind behind taking Esparian side in order to make the Rothschilds, who were now humiliating them to the whole world face another loss shortly after he had made them suffer the first one.
He knew that George wouldn't care about the humiliation that much since most of the world still didn't know it was them, as Emanuel was smart enough not to speak anything about who the real backers were. What George cared the most about was the reaction of his father, Aubrey, who, after a very long and difficult struggle, had finally managed to win his affection and trust and had been enjoying the benefits of it for a few months now, which seems to be on the verge of being tossed out of the window after a president of a country that a few months ago the world wouldn't have cared if they committed a group Seppuku but now thanks to them increasing the buzz of the news about the country and had made them known to almost anyone who had internet but at the moment were using it against him to humiliate and last but not least even break the fragile bond that his master George had finally managed to build after a long struggle.
But despite the thoughts in the representative's mind of the other person in the video, he too turned his focus back to the television as Emanuel started speaking once again after taking a long pause of thirty seconds after he dropped the second massive bombshell. The only saving grace he found solace from the previous speech was the fact that Emanuel had only stated that someone was backing them and hadn't really mentioned who it was. This made him think that Emanuel was smart enough not to reveal their names, as he should also be aware of the consequences of doing so.
...
"Why am I divulging this information to all of you?" Emanuel queried after his brief pause, his tone deliberate. "Was it fueled by the sense of guilt I feel for all of your sufferings? Or is it because my conscience suddenly awakened? Or because I genuinely regret having done these actions to all of you?" he continued, asking the very questions that many people actually had in their minds about why he was even outing himself, and that too with hard evidence which made sure that he won't be able to deny them in the future no matter how much he tried.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm "The answer doesn't lie among any of those questions. I was forced to make this disclosure today due to the circumstances that left me with no choice." Boom, another mini bombshell, but Emmanuel didn't pause this time as he took a deep breath and continued his speech.I think you should take a look at
"Last night, at the same time our navy fleets were trying to take over Eden's bases while their air force was taking out the last of our fighter jets, they sent a unit from Eden's special forces who had somehow managed to infiltrate the entire defensive field surrounding the presidential palace and managed to arrest all of us who were in the bunker, comfortable with our families. They assured us of our families' safety, who even before that had been safe with us, unlike you who were on the land, trembling in fear and terror of their air force's bombing marathon which had been taking place"
"Subsequently, they sent back all of our family members and a selected few high-ranking officials back to Eden, promising that although our family members weren't going to be prosecuted, they would not be allowed to see us until I tell the world about the truth şn whşch they didn't have to do so as they hada the evidence of everything already. That is why I am here, talking about this in front of all of you since I need to ensure I will have a chance to meet my family again." He paused briefly, wiping the beads of sweat that were culminating on his forehead during the course of his speech, and then pressed on, his words laced with determination, "I acknowledge that it may seem pretty heartless of me to care about my family and even surrender the nation for them after all, I had been sending your loved ones to fight to their deaths against Eden in the battlefield. It is the truth that I don't deny at all, and I'm willing to bear the brunt of your hatred as long as my family remains safe."
"As for how they did that, I can't say anything about that as I am restrained from doing so and should remain quiet about whatever I saw during that night. I will comply with their directive, for I have no intention to face them again in my lifetime," he confessed, not understanding the reasoning behind this bit for being included in his speech. Nonetheless, he thought to himself that 'whatever they are the ones who wanted him to mention it anyway' so he didn't care at all, not exactly; rather, he chose not to defy a single command from the instruction he was given by that woman who even thinking about her made his consciousness shake.
"Now, with regard to the aftermath of my unconditionally surrendering to Eden, this evening, every citizen of Esparia with a phone, no matter which type of phone it is, will be given a choice to choose by themselves on whether you agree with the surrender or not. But, let me emphasize this– you better surrender. This war had always been a power play orchestrated for the sake of some powerful people who remain indifferent to how many of you die. Among them, I, too, am included, but not at the moment, as right now I'm amongst you, the unprivileged who are destined to continue living whilst being controlled by the whims of someone who doesn't even care whether you exit or not. So, today shall be the first time in the history of Esparia that you will be given a chance to have an unrigged election in which whatever the majority chooses the outcome, that outcome will decide your country's future. Choose wisely, I am acutely aware of what happens when you don't. May god really really bless Esparia," Emanuel concluded as he turned around and left the conference room, not caring about the reporters who were trying to ask him questions about his speech at all.
Meanwhile, the feed that was playing on the right side and had been showing evidence the whole time was now being transitioned to a full screen and started showing many other meetings between the President and other high-ranking officials within the government, the mercenaries who had been planning on some missions that were no different than kamikaze ii-mission without even discussing the life loss and that whole time they had never even cared about the lives of their soldiers. In some of the footage, they could be seen smiling and laughing as they discussed the possibility of high casualties that might be happening.
This had infuriated everyone, and nearly all of the citizens- barring the few who still liked him, want to kill and chew him to death, Alas before they could even finish watching the continuing evidence footage, all of the Espairan Cİtizens had their phones vibrate having received the message Emanuel had talked about in which it gave them the choice of agreeing with the surrender or continue with the war with the message being sent immediately after the press conference and not in the evening as he had stated int eh press conference.
