Chapter 782 - The Upcoming Hearing
"Good job Scientist ZiL, I really owe you..." Gustav voiced out with a look of grat.i.tude but something still bothered him.
"How is a hearing going to be held in my absence?" He questioned.
"It has been requested all over the news for you to show up at Court Vladlini tomorrow for the last few days. But the hearing would still have taken place regardless of your absence as the witnesses in several crime scenes have severally voiced their opinions on wanting to speak to the public on what they saw on that day," Sir ZiL explained.
"Every one of them who is fully recovered now will be attending the hearing and a defender has been put in place for you. Courtesy of your teacher," Sir ZiL added.
"Miss Aimee is involved as well?" Gustav voiced out.
"She appeared on the news recently, I"m sure she"s doing all that she can from within to a.s.sist with the upcoming hearing," Sir ZiL responded.
"I guess I"ll be seeing her soon then," Gustav stated.
"Will you be attending the hearing?" Sir ZiL asked.
"No, unless I"m sure of this whole thing working out... I actually haven"t decided if I will attend or not," Gustav said with an indecisive tone.
"I"ll make my choice before tomorrow arrives," Gustav added.
"Hnm, alright," Sir ZiL nodded.
"I need footage on the news, I want to watch everything that has happened so far," Gustav requested.
Sir ZiL nodded and voiced out some commands.
In a few seconds, several holographic screens appeared in mid-air showing different media outlets.
The screens began playing different News footage which according to the date some were as early as two days after Gustav left the headless corpse in the hole and some were just a few days ago.

Gustav was able to keep up with every screen showing different media outlets and their similar but also different broadcast of news articles.
So far what he could see was his plan coming to fruition even faster than he expected. He didn"t think someone would reveal the investigations that would be ongoing after he had planted every piece of evidence he created in the different spots.
It turned out someone within the MBO gave the press full revelation of everything that the MBO had uncovered.
Right now Gustav wasn"t even being seen as a bad guy anymore except by some of those who lost loved ones in the destruction.
Gustav had gotten Ring Lord Vanisher"s storage ring because the day he obliterated his entire body besides his head, the ring was the only thing left.
Of course, since Gustav was in a rage that day; he didn"t even think twice about the ring neither did he even try to pick it up since he pa.s.sed out a few seconds after destroying them all.
Fortunately, he recalled the existence of the ring long after he had regained consciousness and went back to the area where he snuffed them out of existence to find it.
He eventually did and getting the storage ring to open up wasn"t an issue since he could take the form of Ring Lord Vanisher.
There were already compromising doc.u.ments within the personal storage ring that listed out illegal operations the Ring Lords had carried out.
Gustav only needed to add more that would suit the narrative and make the Ring Lords look like the culprits of the destruction that had happened within the City on the day of Boss Danzo"s death.
Since storage devices could not be opened up except by the owner they were linked to, the MBO and other authorities investigating did not doubt that everything they had found within was planted.
Of course, since they were the most powerful force in the world, they would have special means of prying open the storage device.
And now the things that have been found within as well as a fake footage Gustav created with the help of the system, the blame for the incident that happened was falling on the heads of the Ring Lords.
Gustav could not completely change things to look like he wasn"t involved due to the eyewitnesses who already witnessed his involvement, so instead, he made it look more like the actions he had performed were for the safety of the entire city.
According to some of the records doc.u.mented within the storage device of Ring Lord Vanisher, a man-made virus to which only them had the cure was to be released in the city.
They would then capitalize on the fact that only they could make the cure.
