Reboot: Mechanic - Chapter 383 Discovery

383  Discovery

At the current rate, Shi Tian noticed that everyone else on the frontline was frustrated and fatigued from the constant fighting. If the frontline were to collapse because people failed to manage their mentality, then it would be a catastrophe.

“Are you planning on revealing the news of the underground to the rest of the people, Nathan?” Mary suddenly asked.

There was no way they would be heroic to explore the underground to rescue these people. Hence, Mary was somewhat positive that he was thinking of revealing this information to give them hope and a goal to strive for.

“I wanted Theobold’s army to suffer a bit more, but Phoebe still hasn’t done anything yet. And the regular people are now on the verge of giving up. I don’t think we can delay it any longer.” Shi Tian explained his reasoning. If possible, he wished to conceal the information for much longer. However, that was no longer possible when even Vanessa was starting to go crazy despite knowing this information.

Not to mention, the status of Gearits City was not in good shape. Despite having no attachment to the city, Shi Tian can’t afford to let the city crash down at the moment.

The New Region— he was looking forward to it as well, and without anyone being the vanguard to check for traps and hidden danger, his life could very well be forfeited. “Then how do you want to spread it?” Mary knitted her brows and asked. Shi Tian curled his mouth upward. “Brad from StellarVision Media.” Brad was the manager channel for StellarVision Media, and because of their actions previously, he had gotten quite the backlash for promoting a fake dense area.

Hence, now was the time to repay him a little bit. It was the methodology of the carrot and the stick.

“I’m sure Brad was still holding a grudge against us, but if we let him get a chance at redemption, his opinion of us will change.” He continued. They already have a pile of evidence available in their hands. So all they needed to do was send all this information to Brad, and with their network, it wouldn’t be long for Brad to fact-check them and confirm it was true.

Once that happened, even he would know that this was his chance to come back from his initial failure.

“Did you plan for this from the start?” Mary questioned in disbelief. She was able to understand the gist of his scheme, so she was somewhat stunned by the revelation. “Not really, Mary.” Shi Tian shrugged. “I’m not a clairvoyant who could foresee the future, but I surely can adapt to new information and situations. With Brad’s situation, I can tell he would definitely want to be the first news media to inform the public of the solution.”

It would become a big discovery and great merit to Brad that even his parent company would be pleased to see his capability. And as for his previous failure, that would be thrown out the window as no one could be bothered about his mistake if his merit were that impressive. Mary could only shake her head silently when Shi Tian had already planned this far ahead. She even wanted to ask if he was going to send the information now, but realized that was not needed.

He already prepared beforehand and only needed one click to send the relevant information to Brad.

“You— ugh, whatever. I don’t care anymore.” Mary rolled her eyes and sat down. Truth be told, she was exhausted as well of the monster wave. It had been going on for too long in their mind.

And with Mary’s permission, Shi Tian quickly sent the mail to Brad.

“Now all we need to wait is for Brad to write a dramatic article to be released.” Shi Tian smirked coldly.

As they silently waited in the Iron Sentinel, in the headquarters of StellarVision Media, Brad was banging his head repeatedly on his desk.

“Damn it all. It’s all those hackers’ fault that I’m about to be demoted.” Brad cursed in anger. He had been threatened by his superiors for his poor judgment and for allowing a non-proven article to be published on the front page, causing a massive backlash and negative feedback from people. “Don’t let me encounter those hackers again. Otherwise, I’m going to fucking kill them or my name shall be swapped to Darb.” Brad slammed his fist on the desk, venting his frustration.

After slamming his fist on the deck and hurting himself in the process, Brad quickly blew some air on his fist to soothe the wound. At the same time, his computer suddenly rang— a notification of some sort.

“What now? Another complaint about my management?” Brad clicked his tongue and glanced at the screen.

At first, he didn’t care much, believing it was another complaining mail. However, when he noticed the sender was titled “Beloved Hacker” along with the icon of the avatar that he had encountered in the firewall network, Brad was livid. “Fuck! You dare to cause me trouble again?” Brad’s veins could be seen visibly on his forehead, a clear definition of his fury.

Nevertheless, he still opened the mail and read what the hacker wanted now that they had ruined him. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin(.)c𝒐m

As he kept on reading and looking at the evidence being sent in the attachment, Brad’s initial anger slowly shifted to confusion. After confusion, he was soon dazed and astonished.

By the time Brad finished reading the mail, his anger had completely dissipated, replacing it with jubilation.

The information was backed with concrete evidence such as videos and photos, so with just a little fact-checking done, Brad instantly realized the astronomical value of this mail.

“Hmph, if this is proven to be true, then I might regain the trust of my superior and even reverse my current plight.” Brad was revitalized and motivated as he quickly grabbed his Cellos device, ordering his subordinates to start working.

He was not going to let this golden opportunity slip away from the palm of his hand.
