Chapter 87 War Of Words

 

At least, Jonathan would never come up with the theory of the place being haunted.

 

“How would you explain the paranormal activities in Golden Years back then?” another reporter asked Jonathan.

It seemed that Jonathan had become the center of the spotlight while Amber was just an insignificant character.

Jonathan replied, “I have to enter the place before I can give you an answer for that.”

 

The reporter pressed on, “Some masters entered Golden Years in the past, and they died inside. Aren’t you afraid of being rebuked?”

 

Jonathan responded flatly, “Certain things need to be solved somehow. We can’t give up just because somebody else has failed, right?”

Seeing everyone start to raise more questions, Amber piped up, “All right, everyone. That’s it for the interview. We are entering Golden Years now.”

 

The police, who were around them, stopped the reporters from approaching them after hearing Amber’s words.

All of a sudden, a loud voice rang out from the crowd. “I think you guys are putting on a show. There’s nothing inside Golden Years at all. This priest is only fishing for fame. I think you guys intend to cheat the public. Otherwise, why won’t you let us follow inside?”

As soon as the words came out, everyone started to butt in.

 

The yells from the crowd continued to grow louder.

Amber’s face turned pale instantly. She felt that the situation was getting out of hand. They would be exposed if they allowed the reporter to join them. At that moment, she became panicked.

It was useless to suppress the public uproar at that point as all the cameras from the media were directed at Amber and Jonathan.

Amber glanced at Jonathan unwittingly, seeking support from the man at such times of need.

Jonathan didn’t reveal a tinge of panic on his face. He looked at the cameras calmly.

A reporter asked, “Sir, do you have anything to say?”

Jonathan smiled as he replied, “I have nothing to hide in everything I do.” His voice was powerful even in an environment full of noise. He continued, “I wonder who was the one who gave those mocking remarks earlier. Would you step out, please?”

No one stepped forward.

Instead, someone tried to kick up a ruckus again. “Why don’t you bring us inside with you? How do we know if you are putting on a show?”

 

Jonathan smiled faintly. “Verbal abuse is also an act of violence, especially words that come from the press media. To Golden Years, I’m an outsider. I believe everyone knows what happened inside there better than I do. There was once a school organization with over hundreds of students trying to get in there, but to no avail. Could I make up an incident like that? Mr. Jones once thought of abolishing Golden Years, but it ended up a futile attempt. Did I make that up, too?”
