"This station's news, at eight o 'clock in the morning today, hundreds of agents from the Charlotte FBI Drug Enforcement Unit and the local police jointly raided the Merfolk Pier on the east bank of the city. They engaged in a gunfight with the gangsters, resulting in a total of 45 deaths and three injuries. They also seized drugs worth 230 million gold duns, including 300 kilograms of heroin. Next, we'll broadcast the video sent by our reporters from the scene. Our reporters rushed to the scene seven minutes after the police launched the operation and collected first-hand information — "
In a Norfolk "Crusher" armored off-road vehicle driving on Atlanta's Russell Avenue, Nannette Drew smiled as he watched the scene played on the TV in front of him.
This was a brand new TV station. On the top right of the screen, there was a logo with the image of "Rising Sun + Angel Wings" and the letters "APTV" — that was the abbreviation for America's current political television station.
"How's yesterday's ratings, Delore? Is there any statistical result? "
"It's limited to Georgia. Yesterday's highest rating was 3.5% and the average rating was 2.2%. Especially after the explosion at the Qualcomm building last night, our highest number of viewers in Georgia alone has reached 1.5 million. "
The person who answered Nannette Drew was the company's newly hired female CEO assistant, Delore Claire. One could tell her background from her name. She was the niece of Senator Claire of the Conservative Party.
The reason why she could appear by her side was because of a deal between Nannette Drew's boss and the Claire family.
However, this woman's ability was also very outstanding. Although she graduated from Star Pulse Aristocratic College and graduated from Harvard University, she went to the West Coast before this and became the deputy editor of a newspaper with a market value of hundreds of millions in three years without the help of any family power.
"This has exceeded the previous highest ratings of Southern Cable TV Station. For a new TV station, this result is simply too good. I admire you, Ms. Drew. According to the recent survey, the 24-hour current political news channel you launched is widely popular among white-collar workers and civil servants. Many companies subscribe to it. Especially these two days, the results are particularly gratifying. So far, our Southern Cable TV Station has nearly 1.4 million new subscriptions. Its influence is expanding nationwide. However — "
At this moment, Delor's voice was slightly hesitant. "Now, some people are questioning why our reporters can always appear at the scene at the first moment."
"Don't worry about it. If you don't use the resources that are readily available, you'd be an idiot. America's current affairs TV stations have limited freshness. Before other TV stations react, we need to expand our influence as much as possible. "
Nannette Drew said nonchalantly, but then she realized that her assistant was still hesitant to speak. She couldn't help but glance at her. "What do you want to say? There's no need to hide anything from me, Delore. "
"You don't seem worried at all?"
Delore Claire asked hesitantly, "I know that the Xuri Company has been fighting the Dragon Witch Cult for the past few days. Whether it was the Qualcomm Building last night or the Fishman Pier today, they were all operations against the Dragon Witch Cult. Major General Michael Wood is commanding hundreds of magic ability professionals to strike the Dragon Witch Cult's industries in a frenzy. At least 70% of the shootings on the East Coast of America today are related to the Xuri Company and the Dragon Witch Cult. "
Ms. Drew couldn't help but smile. "Your Claire Family's intelligence network is very good and sharp enough. Now, many people don't know anything about it. "
"Indeed, Major General Wood is very smart and has a wide network. His comrades are all over America. Just like the Fishman Pier today, the director of the FBI branch in Charlotte City had once worked with him in the Middle East. They were responsible for cleaning up after the incident. It was a win-win situation. So now, even if the number of dead on both sides has reached more than 900 people, the public opinion everywhere is still calm. And in these short two days, the Dragon Witch Cult has paid a price of nearly 1.5 billion gold duns for this war. But I feel uneasy — "
Delore Claire looked at Nannet Drew with worry in his eyes, "That is the Dragon Witch Cult after all. Although Major General Michael Wood is very powerful, and although his subordinates are newly recruited, their battle prowess is very shocking, the Dragon Witch Cult is still very powerful. But it's not like we don't have weaknesses. "
"The weakness you're talking about is me, right?"
Ms. Drew smiled. "The probability of the Dragon Witch Cult making a move against me is more than 99%. Maybe today. But Delore, you mustn't — "
At that moment, a loud bang came from outside the window, and a bullet almost penetrated through the window. But it was blocked by a layer of golden source power outside the tempered glass.
At this moment, on top of the car, a three-meter-tall construct puppet removed its stealth armor, revealing its sturdy steel body. Its eyes were overflowing with spiritual light as it stared at a tall building in the distance.
But the next attack didn't come from the sniper. In an instant, countless saber lights and sword shadows flashed around the armored vehicle. At least six magic professionals above level seventeen launched an attack at this moment. There were also two automatic rifles firing at full force at a distance of nearly thirty meters.
As for the construct puppet, Big White, two alloy swords emerged from its wrists. With a wave of sword light that was hard to see with the naked eye, it blocked all the attacks coming from all directions. It displayed a dexterity and speed that didn't match its huge body, blocking all the swords and bullets outside the sword screen.
"Wow!"
Nannette Drew had obviously anticipated this sudden scene. But when it happened, she couldn't help but jump in fright, subconsciously patting her chest.
"See, I really have a crow's mouth. These guys came just like they said they would. "
Delore Clare's face was as white as a sheet. She could see that the assassins surrounding the car were all attacking to destroy the car. Not only did they want to kill Nanette Drew, but they also had no intention of letting the lives of the people in the car go.
This caused Delor to be at a loss, and he was filled with regret.
But then she found that the person she served not only didn't panic or fear, but instead looked at the car TV in front with a flushed face.
Delor looked over and found that the scene on the TV had changed. It was the 'Crusher' armored off-road vehicle they were riding in. Looking at the screen, it should be taken from a 45-degree angle, about thirty meters away.
"This station has the latest news. Just now, the CEO of Rising Sun Media, Nanette Drew, was attacked by assassins in downtown Atlanta. Our TV reporter was lucky enough to capture a video at the scene — "
"Did you arrange it?"
Delore looked behind her and couldn't help but scold, "Ms. Drew, I think you're crazy!"
"This is the best publicity for our TV station. Our news will not abide by the rules of the past, and there are no taboos!"
Nanette Drew couldn't help but laugh. Then, the car window behind them made a clicking sound, and a trace of cracks began to appear. It was a Magical Shadowman, hanging behind the armored vehicle. He used the blue dagger in his hand to constantly strike the car window, and stared coldly at the people in the car window.
But in the next moment, a bloody hole appeared between the man's eyebrows, and then his entire head exploded. Brain juice and blood splattered everywhere.
