Chapter 1266: Chapter 1266: Believe (Long Chapter, Request for Monthly Pass)

January 31

At 9 a.m., just one day after the press conference in Dawn City, the long-silent Ains finally moved into action.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters unexpectedly held a press conference without any prior notice.

All reporters were informed only half an hour in advance, leading to more than one-third of journalists and media personnel failing to arrive onsite due to traffic jams and other reasons.

This time, however, the person hosting the conference was not the frequently featured spokesperson of the FBI, but the rarely-seen Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The content of the press conference was simple: the Director stated they were already aware of the matter concerning the Order Church. The FBI would not tolerate the presence of any cult organizations within the church, and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Order Church had already commenced.

The Director’s speaking speed was very rapid; the entire press conference lasted less than ten minutes from start to finish.

By the time the late journalists arrived, the event was already concluded.

Yet, those brief ten minutes hit like a bombshell tossed into waters that were already roiling with unrest.

Afterward, Ains fell back into silence, but people no longer perceived it as peaceful, only as a deceptive quiet concealing turbulent undercurrents beneath the surface.

Dawn City publicly released portions of surveillance footage from the night of the incident in downtown Dawn City and announced increased sanctions against major conglomerates implicated in previous events. The sanctions would extend to their subsidiaries and companies closely trading with them.

Stars Pharma held a press conference accusing Christos of “abusing government power” and “oppressing organized groups” through authoritative measures.

Other major conglomerates also held press conferences, collectively condemning Christos.

The stocks of conglomerates listed by Dawn City continued to plummet as several economic experts predicted that the market confidence in these groups would not recover under the current confrontational climate.

The Dawn City council began the first impeachment vote against Christos, but it failed due to not reaching a two-thirds majority.

Sources indicated that the opposition was already preparing a second impeachment attempt. This marked the greatest crisis for Christos since his overwhelming victory in the midterm elections, as numerous allies who should have supported him became indecisive or openly joined the opposition.

The Dawn Daily published a special column with extensive coverage of the challenges Christos was facing and detailed the negative impacts his sanctions on the conglomerates had exerted on Dawn City.
