"Emergency announcement, emergency announcement! Interruption of the announcement is prohibited..." the automated voice announcement said.

"This morning, the military base's internet was breached. Some hackers stole the monitoring videos information and the retired veterans' IDs. They then used the veterans' IDs to publish false information on the network. We will now play the surveillance video that was stolen and deleted..."

A large screen appeared in front of the crowd, and a clear video image started to play on the screen. Monitors were installed in many places throughout the military base, so everyone had a chance to see it.

This video even had the sound recordings. The people in the video were Steve and Vivien, as well as Wally, Eric, and Oliver of the Black Tiger Combat Unit. Everyone watched as the scene played out on the screen...

"So, you're together. No wonder our brother did not see her while he was waiting near her house." Out of the three who walked up, one of them had a cold tone and looked at Steve and Vivien with bad intentions.

"Who are you?" Steve asked the trio coldly.

"We're members of the Black Tiger Combat Unit. You've cut off our source of funds. What do you think we're here for?" Wally sneered, while the three of them approached Steve.

...

This video had clearly recorded the real story of Steve's, Vivien's and Wally's encounter. It kept rolling all the way until the end, where the tri of guys were arrested and taken away by George.

As the entire audience was shocked, deafening exclamations rang out...

"It's exactly like how Steve had said!"

"The Black Tiger Combat Unit is terrible!"

"When I was a recruit, I was cheated by the Black Tiger Store, too!"

"The Black Tiger Store sells inferior products. I know, as I've bought some too!"

"That's terrible! If Steve hadn't been strong enough, the three of them would have succeeded!"

"Wally should be caught and punished! Eric and Oliver should be caught too! We should imprison them all!"

The crowd was furious. Although George and Belak had testified before, nothing was more convincing and realistic than the crowd's seeing the video directly. After all, this was the real complete and unedited video, as the original video that everyone had seen on the network had now been edited.

Unfortunately, the videos in the Black Tiger Store were privately owned by the Black Tiger Store, and although the military base had the right to ask them to hand them over, the store also had the right to refuse to do so.

Regardless, this video today was enough to turn the tides of public opinion! Marcus' face was ashen, as even though their technicians had already deleted this video, the military base had more powerful technicians, who had been able to somehow restore it!

The official announcement of the military base had not stopped yet...

"Through the investigation of our technicians, by tracing the clues left by the stolen veterans' IDs, we were able to find the hackers of the stolen accounts. They are apparently located in the military base. Precisely, their location is in the headquarters of the Black Tiger Combat Unit!"

Everyone gasped at this revelation, then quickly quieted down in order to hear the rest of the announcement...

"In order to ensure that similar things will not happen in the future, we will confiscate all of the computer equipment of the Black Tiger Combat Unit for investigation. We are officially issuing a serious warning to the Black Tiger Combat Unit and deducting 100,000 contribution points from them as well."

Upon hearing this punishment, Marcus' eyes rolled back in his head and he almost fainted. Unfortunately, the matter was not over yet, as the announcement kept going...

"Another small announcement is that we've just found Lawrence's transfer records. After the game, all of his contribution points will be transferred to the Black Tigers Combat Unit's account."

Right then, all of the gazes that were already looking at Marcus filled with coldness and fury. Even this last piece of evidence had been officially proven as false by the military base!

"Regarding the Black Tiger Combat Unit's bet, the authorities found that they were cheating the soldiers out of contributing points and money by operating and controlling matters behind-the-scenes. Therefore, the Black Tiger Combat Unit will be ordered to return all of the bet money, and at the same time, the winner must be compensated with the prize that he deserves."

The announcement then concluded by saying, "Officials will monitor this whole process and to ensure that the soldiers have justice. We hope that the Black Tiger Combat Unit will learn from this incident and also remember that if they dare to do anything similar in the future, they will be severely punished. That's the end of the announcement."

Even though the official announcement was over, the real storm was just beginning!
