The Halted Press Conference

The title might be a little conspicuous, but when one clicks on it, the content of the article is very serious!

"The latest news came from the 118 passengers of a flight over the Atlantic that just survived a hijacking. The survivors expressed their feeling of fortune and relief, as well as grief for the pilot, copilot, and other crew members who were killed by the hijacker!

"The passengers also brought shocking news about the ongoing investigation!"

...

There was a paragraph of text and a few photos. One of them showed a medium-sized passenger plane parked on the beach, accompanied by text explaining that all the passengers of the hijacked plane had survived. While it was great news, it wasn't all that shocking until one watched the attached video.

After watching that video, nobody could maintain their composure. Their faces were filled with shock!

The video clearly explained the reason behind Homelander and Thunderclap's battle, decisively showing which one of them stood on the side of justice!

The video was an interview with the passengers that just survived the event!

"Hello, please give your thought about today's event!"

The reporter that performed the interview had clearly not been beaten enough as a kid. The interviewee had just experienced a plane hijacking and a plane crash, surviving both disasters. They were still shaking from the fear of death; what did you expect them to think?!

"Oh, my God, I can't believe that we can survive. I thought I was dead! Thank God... no, we should thank Thunderclap first and foremost. He was the one who saved all of us. He even confronted Homelander to save us!"

This passenger was a middle-aged woman. She was gentle, but from her expression, one could see how frightened and scared she was!

"What exactly happened? Can you describe it in detail?"

Despite his inexperience, the reporter seemed to know that he was about to get major insider information. He excitedly asked the woman in front of him to elaborate on the events in detail!

"We never thought that something like that would happen. After Homelander and Thunderclap arrived, Homelander easily took care of the hijackers. Everyone happily clapped, thinking that we would finally be saved!

"To be honest, I didn't like Thunderclap all that much because of his identity! I always thought that he would never gain any fans if he didn't shadow Homelander!

"But now, I have to sincerely apologize to Thunderclap for my past thoughts. He is a real superhero, and Homelander is a hypocrite! Homelander's demeanor suddenly changed after coming out of the cockpit.

"He no longer cared about saving us and tried to escape alone. But Thunderclap didn't let him abandon us. He bravely faced the threat of Homelander's laser eyes and stood up for us.

"When Homelander started threatening the passengers, Thunderclap couldn't hold it in anymore and ferociously sent Homelander flying with his punch!"

...

"We couldn't hold our cheer of relief after the plane finally stopped. I was so glad that I survived. When we tried to thank Thunderclap, he had already disappeared!

"If I could be lucky enough to meet him again, I would definitely tell him thank you! And I'm sorry!"

...

The reporter proceeded to ask the other survivors the same question. Their answers were mostly the same: scolding Homelander and thanking Thunderclap!

Notably, he also asked a mother who was holding a child!

"I begged Homelander to save my child, but he threatened to kill my child instead. I won't blame him; ultimately, he was free to choose who he wanted to save. But I am definitely thankful to Thunderclap, who allowed my child to survive!

"When this child grows up, I will tell her what happened today. I will tell her that the kind superhero Thunderclap saved us. I hope that when she grows up, she can be like Thunderclap and selflessly help others. Although she may not be as powerful as Thunderclap!"

...

"Hello, please give your thought about today's event!"

The reporter found another surviving passenger. This time, it was a strong man with a fierce look on his face!

"Thoughts? I just survived an accident; why are you asking me what I think? Do you think this is a movie that you can just review? I almost died; what did you expect me to think? My only thought now is to beat you down, you damn reporter!"

The video suddenly turned black. Crackling sounds and painful cries echoed in the background!

...

The press conference ground to a halt! Madelyn's assistant hurried to her side with a phone to show her the video.

Madelyn was shocked by the video, but she didn't show it on her face. She was more than 99% certain that the video was truthful: because she knew about Homelander's hidden personality!

"Miss Madelyn, you must've seen the news. Do you have anything to add?"

A young female reporter stood up impatiently and asked Madelyn!

"I am in the same seat as everyone else. I also just found out about this unbelievable development. I didn't expect that Homelander, who represents America and Justice, could do such a thing! However, we have yet to confirm whether the report was truthful.

"Therefore, I ask for everyone to wait patiently until our own investigation can be completed. We believe that we still haven't seen the full picture! If the video is proven to be truthful, I promise that Vought International will support the side of justice along with Thunderclap!

"But we must first prove that this report is real!"

Madelyn played her supporting role flawlessly. All she said was that the situation was still unclear, and the side of justice was still yet to be determined. But she promised that Vought would side with justice!

Buzz...

Before the female reporter could ask another question, her phone vibrated again.

Her face involuntarily showed a shocked expression after she scanned the message!

"Miss Madelyn, you had said that you would unconditionally support Thunderclap if the video was proven to be true. Would you also unconditionally support his recent statements regarding 'Compound V' and 'Baby Plan?'"

The reporter didn't even put her phone back in her pocket and asked Madelyn loudly! And as expected of a reporter, she superbly caught Madelyn off-guard!

Madelyn's face instantly paled when she heard the two familiar phrases from the reporter!

"This press conference ends here!"

Madelyn quickly stood up and left the stage, disregarding the ruckus from the reporters!

"Vought is covering something big!"

Everyone shared that same thought!
