The Author's POV

Chapter 486

Click—! Click—! Click—!

The clicking sound of the camera's shutter echoed throughout a large auditorium filled to the brim with people.

"Do you have anything to say regarding the current allegations?"

"Are you really 876?"

"Why did you frame Aaron Rhinestone?"

"Is Aaron innocent?"

Standing in front of the seats were a series of reporters who asked an endless amount of questions.

All of their attention was currently drawn toward the center of the room, or to be more precisely, toward my direction as I sat behind a large table. A few inches away from my mouth was a small microphone.

Sitting beside me was Douglas.

"Seems like you're quite the popular one?" Douglas joked as a small smile hung on his lips.

Briefly glancing in his direction, I shrugged my shoulders

"Guess I am."

Nothing I could do about it.

My charm was just that high.

Douglas helplessly shook his head.

"...You never change."

"Eh."

I once again shrugged my shoulders.

Just as I was about to say something else, the room instantly quieted down.

"By the way—"

Clank—!

Following this, Octavious Hall entered the room. His entire presence enshrouded the whole room, making it hard for the reporters to muster any courage to speak.

Even I was overwhelmed by his presence for a brief moment.

'It looks like he's made a small breakthrough.'

My eyes narrowed.

I could feel it. He was a few years away from reaching rank.

Glancing around the room for a couple of seconds, Octavious soon moved towards the table in the middle of the room and proceeded to sit down next to Douglas.

Once he sat down, he crossed his arms and remained silent.

"..."

For a brief moment of time, silence ensued. His overwhelming aura made it hard for the reporters to keep themselves composed.

However, this did not last for long as the reporters soon jumped back up from their seats and started to ask questions.

"Octavius Hall, what have you got to say regarding the allegations thrown out?"

"Evidence points out that the leak is indeed true."

"Why is this happening?"

With all the attention drawn towards him, Octavious suddenly raised his hand and muttered.

"Quiet."

Though his voice was quiet, it traveled through the ears of everyone present and all the reporters suddenly found themselves seated in their seats with their backs drenched in sweat.

Snapping out of it, the reporters glanced at each other. From the looks on their faces, it felt as though they were all wondering the same thing.

'What in the world just happened?'

Ignoring the commotion, Octavious opened his mouth. The moment he opened his mouth, everyone's focus once again turned to him.
