Chapter 443: The Insane Truth

Chapter 443: The Insane Truth

These were scenes that the average person would've never been able to see.

Some had seen similar photographs on the dark web or scenes of this nature in horror films, but everyone knew that those were all fake.

However, this was real!

Adam wouldn't risk his political career by presenting counterfeit images like these, and the fact that he had held such an urgent press conference on such short notice indicated that he definitely had some "explosive" content to release.

However, no one was expecting things to ramp up so quickly, and many of the journalists weren't mentally prepared for what they were seeing. Some of them were rubbing their eyes as they inspected the location, date, and time attached to the photographs to ensure that they were actually recent images.

A few of the female reporters couldn't help but rush away and begin throwing up in horror and disgust.

"I went sightseeing there last year! It looked so calm and peaceful, how could something like this have happened there?"

"What the hell is this? I don't think I'm going to be able to eat anything for the next few days!"

"Damn it, I'm going to have nightmares for weeks!"

"Oh no, I'm gonna throw up again..."

The entire scene was plunged into complete chaos, and countless people across Sandrise City were astonished by the terrifying images that they were seeing on the live broadcasts.

They would rather believe that these were images taken from some horror movie than accept it as reality. A reporter raised a valid question, asking Adam what type of criminal would be so foolish as to take these self-incriminating photographs.

Adam replied in a calm manner, "These photographs were requested by the clients. They want to see the goods that they ordered, and they want to see the entire extraction and transportation process to ensure that their goods aren't tampered with."

.

"That's disgusting! Who would do something so heinous and inhumane?"

Despite the questions that they were raising, they already believed what they were seeing.

In the present day and age, there was a vast number of high-end consumers, and from many years ago, there were already similar tracking services for vegetables and different types of animal meats, allowing the consumer to see the entire process from the birth of their food, all the way until it reached their plates.

This was a type of service that had become more and more prevalent, but no one could've ever imagined that it would be used on human organs!

The reporters were horrified, and they couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if they were in the place of the victims displayed in the photographs.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, all of the reporters raised their hands and began yelling their questions at Adam.

Adam remained completely silent, looking down at them with a cold expression.

After about two minutes of commotion, all of the reporters quickly fell silent. They could feel a sense of asphyxiation from the pressure emanating from behind the lectern.

What a sharp expression!

Countless viewers were also feeling a sense of pressure from Adam's hawk-like gaze through their screens.

Meanwhile, Shivani and some female viewers were staring at Adam with intoxicated, starstruck expressions.

Finally, a reporter raised their arm again before stating their question.

"Mr. Adam, would you be able to provide some names of clients using this service, even just a single name will do!"

These images of the production process alone weren't enough to present a cohesive story. Many of the reporters present nodded in agreement, and instead of answering the question, Adam pressed a button on his remote to switch to a different photograph, which many of the reporters quickly identified as Congressman Johnson.

Not long ago, Adam had successfully taken down Succubus Beth, exposing the secrets that Congressman Johnson had been hiding in the process. A whole host of incriminating evidence had been dug up, further adding to Adam's list of accomplishments as a mayoral candidate and special psychic police officer.

The crowd was abuzz once again, but this wasn't exactly an unexpected outcome.

Only those who possessed immense power or wealth were in a position to be able to enjoy these inhumane services and satisfy their insatiable greed.

"But according to my knowledge, the heart used in Congressman Johnson's heart transplant surgery was secured through legal pathways!" a reporter yelled.

"Unless I'm mistaken, Congressman Johnson hasn't been implicated for any crimes of this nature, are we supposed to just take your word for it?"

"Could it be that you've made a mistake, Mr. Adam?"

"Maybe he's trying to accomplish some type of objective by doing this."

There were always reporters who felt as if they were more intelligent than everyone else and strove to think outside the box, but then again, this was indeed a very real possibility.

After a while, all of the reporters noticed that Adam was making no effort to explain himself, and they immediately stopped speaking to hear what Adam had to say.

Only then did Adam switch to a third image as he said, "More than one heart was prepared for Congressman Johnson's transplant surgery. All of you saw the one that was obtained through legitimate means, but there was another illegally obtained heart that arrived roughly 10 minutes later."

This footage depicted Mechguard units intercepting a mechanical bee belonging to a certain courier company. The insulated box was opened at the scene, and the heart inside was still beating.

"Let me add something here: this heart was one that was one that was extracted on a provisional basis after Congressman Johnson's surgery had already commenced."

This declaration immediately triggered another wave of commotion, both among the reporters at the scene and the viewers at home.

"That's terrifying!"

"That place isn't even that far away from where I live!"

"How could they do this?"

Many people were truly horrified by this revelation.

Most of the people living in Sandrise City were under immense pressure, but as long as they worked hard, there was alway a way to get by.

As long as one remained alive, there was always hope. However, there were people being butchered right under their noses, just to have their organs extracted to satisfy the needs of the rich and the powerful. Was there still justice in this world?

"This is insane! I would've never imagined something like this happening so close to me."

"No wonder there are so many disappearance cases each year. This is why!"

"What's most terrifying is that I haven't seen any reports on this matter at all prior to this. They've managed to conceal all of this extremely well!"

"How much power is required to conceal something so terrifying?"

Everyone's emotions were running rampant in the wake of this revelation.

"My nephew needed a heart transplant last year, and he was told that he would have to wait for at least three years, but there's no way he can wait that long," a reporter suddenly said. "Later, someone called us telling us that they can secure a heart for him through an alternative pathway, but the asking price was far too expensive for us to afford, so they recommended that we take out a loan from a certain finance company. It's the exact same company that the bastard Mr. Adam arrested today was working at!"

All of a sudden, all of the clues were lining up.

Certain needs couldn't be met through legitimate pathways, so people were coaxed into pursuing illegal pathways. It seemed that the recommendation to take out a loan with a finance company was for their own good, but in reality, these people were being encouraged to take out loans that they would never be able to repay and slave away until the day they died!

"This is disgusting!"

"How could they do something like this? Are they still even human?"

"You think those working in finance still have any shred of humanity left? There are far too many similar examples of this."

"What happened to your nephew? Did you end up taking out the loan?"

"No. He died not long ago, and he donated all of his healthy organs. Now that I think about it, could that have been a ruse as well?"

The reporter couldn't help but feel extremely paranoid and cynical. In this day and age, it seemed that there were traps laid everywhere for the average person, and it was truly a horrible way to live.

The same thoughts were resonating with countless viewers watching the live broadcasts.

A technician in the crisis group removed his glasses as he turned around and asked, "Should we intervene, Sir?"
