Offered to the Triplet Alphas

Chapter-78. Simple things

[Raven]

Ezra stopped typing on the keyboard, ending the five heavy minutes that felt like five hours because of all the tension it created in the hall. The wall screen was a mess of complex code and algorithms running independently now. The hall was crammed with an uneasy silence. Every eye was glued to the projected screen.

Although, except Isagi and Viella, everyone seemed to have given up on understanding what Ezra was doing.

Ezra stepped to the center of the dais, his fingers gliding in the air to control the wall screen. With a series of precise gestures, he split the screen into multiple sections, each displaying different pieces of information. Ezra's face was impassive and fully concentrated, in contrast to the anxious expressions around him.

"Tracing back the digital footprints of the news article had led me to..."

Ezra gestured in the air and the screen zoomed in on a map, highlighting a location with a glowing red circle.

I narrowed my eyes.

Ezra faced Isagi and continued, "the news article was written and published from a public cyber hub which means... the source of the news is unreliable and this news is fake-"

"Huh!" Viella spoke through the mic before her. "Seriously? Is this the best you can do, Alpha Ezra? All that digital drama for what? This? To prove this news is fake? Honestly, you should have just let Alpha Asher handle this for you, like he always does. At least he wouldn't have come up with something so childish."

"True," an elder supported Viella. "Yes, maybe the source of the news is unreliable, but there are proofs and witnesses who have seen you recklessly put a measly mortal at the pedestal of the Luna of the Infernal pack."

"You should be mindful that your remarks can now tarnish the dignity of Luna's position. I can't even imagine how ugly this sounds. It feels like a crime, disgusting to even think of a measly mortal, let alone a weak omega, being called as the Luna of our most esteemed and prestigious pack in all realms. Such a notion is not just offensive; it's an affront to our very legacy."

"Exactly," another elder said. "You are one of the Alphas of the Prime pack now. You have to understand the weight your words hold. You can't just say something or do something as outrageous as this and get away with it."

"Alpha Ezra should apologize and pledge to never repeat such a mistake again..."

The elders' voices rose from all sides, each accusation more absurd than the last. My nails dug into my palms as I watched Ezra stand on the dais with his head held low.

They had cornered him in a tight spot again. Shadow eclipsed his face, and it was difficult to tell what was going through his mind. It was at times like these Ezra often took impulsive decisions without thinking much. If he did it again, things might get even more complicated.

Tensing my brows, I looked at Asher. He must be sensing it as well, but why wasn't he interfering?

Tsk! Don't let them pull you down.

I looked at Ezra again. Should I interfere? Get him out of there?

"Let's not be so harsh on him. After all, this is the first time-" Viella spoke through the chatter of the elders, but Ezra interrupted her.

"The news is fake," he declared matter-of-factly in a rather relaxed tone. His voice, though calm, was firm with confidence. "I hacked into the camera of the computer where this article originated and found that this post was scheduled, which means the time it was created and the time it was published are not the same."

"All this information is irrelevant. They prove nothing about the news being fake," Viella retorted.

"Ok then..." Ezra lifted his head, staring back at the council, revealing the slight smile on his face. "Let me re-frame my words. The news is forged."

A wave of confusion crashed across the hall, throwing it into disarray.

"Please maintain the decorum of the meeting." Isagi's aura dominated the hall, bringing the chaos to an abrupt halt. "Alpha Ezra... please continue and please clarify why you think the news is forged."
