Primordial Soul's Rebirth

The guilds, all over the world, are not just an organization that helps the public clear the gate, many top-ranking guilds are involved in other businesses as well.

Some own shares in movies, some own shares in railways, some create their own companies, and there are some who own shares in media companies or the whole company belongs to them.

The reporters that came to the press conference were many reporters who work for guilds, or associations. But just like other people can send their reporters to defame or degrade the Crimson Lotus's image, the Crimson Lotus can do the same to defend themselves.

The Crimson Lotus Guild had shares in one of the largest media companies in Orange Country and some others as well, after all.

There were at least 10 reporters from the media companies that Crimson Lotus had shares in, and all of them were only going to ask the questions that they were told to ask.

So, when Alice clicked the button on the desk, it was an indicator for them to get ready as Alice was going to pick them one by one.

The blonde girl Alice picked was one of them, so the question she asked was something Alice wanted her to ask.

"Miss Alice, people are facing many problems all over the world and some people say that it is your fault and you should take responsibility by compensating the citizens, what are your thoughts on this topic?"

The girl asked, making Alice smile inwardly.

"People are looking for someone to take the blame for everything, and you all know that. In hard times, someone surely draws the short stick, and that person turns out to be us in this situation.

But did someone think for even a second: why did we enter the gate in the first place?

It was because of the task given to us by the Association that we were just doing the task, why are you blaming us then?

If the company sells faulty products are you going to blame the workers or the owner? The owner, right?

So, why are we being blamed?

As for the problems that the world is facing, I and my guild are doing our best to help out as much as we can."

Alice answered the question in detail and again, the reporters started taking notes.

None of the reporters knew that there were reporters who worked for Crimson Lotus in the crowd, and even if some of them did, they wouldn't say it as everyone does that.

Not like they were not getting some spicy news, they were getting those, so it was all good.

"Thank you for answering," The blonde girl spoke before she sat down.

Alice nodded to the girl before she looked around, searching for another one of their reporters until she finally found one.

"You, the one with black hair."

Alice pointed at a guy with black hair, and the guy stood up with a nod.

"Miss Alice, you said that you were just doing your task, but wasn't your task just scouting?"

The questions that were being asked were made by Alex and Ann, they made the question just the type they wanted but at the same time, the question included the topic that the public wanted to know.

These questions were a way for the Crimson Lotus to clear their name while putting the blame on someone else if possible.

"Yes, our task was to just scout and that's what we were going to do, but it was an unexplored gate, if that was not enough, it was quite big as well.

We just kept walking when we unknowingly entered the boss area.

It was a do-or-die situation, so we decided to try our luck, and in the end, we won."

Alice replied without thinking much.

The guy nodded his head and sat down.

"You, with the red hairband."

Alice pointed at a girl with a red hairband.

The girl stood up and looked at Alice before she spoke.

"Miss Alice, you said that you guys were just doing the task and you had to clear the gate because you were given a scouting mission, but why did you accept the mission in the first place?

You had the option to decline the task, right?"

The girl asked and Alice replied.

"Yes, we had the option, and we could have declined the task, but up until now, Crimson Lotus had never declined a task.

I didn't want to break that perfect streak, and if that is not enough to make you satisfied, then I had trust in my guildmates, I know that they are strong enough to survive anything the world will throw at us."

Alice answered with pride in her voice.

The cameras started clicking, taking pictures of Alice, while the reporters began writing it down.

The girl nodded her head and sat down and Alice just smiled lightly.

Alice then selected some random people since she had already spoken about the points she wanted to.

It took some while and the reporters asked many questions, ranging from the level of power of the monsters inside the gate, to how they fought against some monsters.

None of the reporters tried something fishy or going overboard with their questions as Alex was still sitting there with a calm posture, giving them more pressure than even a fearsome beast could give.

Although reporters like to make news out of everything, they know their limits.

They were scared to die, after all, they had seen how Alex killed people without hesitation, he didn't even ask the guys something and directly killed them.

They were scared that if they spoke out of line, then they might be seen as some assassin or something by Alex, losing their lives as a result.

Although the reporters regrated that they wouldn't be able to get much dirt on the Crimson Lotus, they valued their lives more than their jobs.

Many of them knew that they might lose their jobs as they were told by their respective employers that they had to throw as much dirt as they could on the Crimson Lotus, but they failed spectacularly.

After a while, when Alice thought that it was about time to end this, she spoke.

"Only five questions more, after that, we will end the press conference," Alice spoke and the reporters got ready with the best questions they had, or the question they think is more important.

"Alright, the one with a black shirt," Alice pointed at a girl who was wearing a black shirt.

"My question is for you Mister Matthew," The girl spoke hurriedly just as she stood, and Alex opened his eyes for the second time in the whole conference.

The cameras all focused on Alex and the reporters were also ready to write down whatever they could.

By now every important question was answered, so when someone saw that there was a person with enough courage to wake the sleeping beast, they quickly got focused.

Alex knew that it was going to be something similar to the last question, so he looked at the girl waiting for her to ask her question.

But when they heard the girl's questions almost all of the reporters almost fell from their seats.
