The Return of the Disaster-Class Hero

Chapter 39 - Call Me Uncle (1)

"What did you just say?"

A voice rang within NY Times Square. Times Square was considered the center of the world's media. It was a place with three hundred consulates and over ten thousand members of the world's press.

The <New York Observatory Station> was also located here. The world had five such large observatory stations. After the appearance of the unknown civilization, these observatories kept track of the Calamities. Most of the news around the world started off talking about Calamities. Tens of thousands of Calamities were observed each day, so the reporters had an abundance of stories.

Therefore, a piece of news had to be extraordinary to cause a stir here. Yet, on this day, an incident made the veteran reporters lose their poker faces.

"What? The Leo Saint fell from Drachma? Isn't he supposed to be the strongest?"

"I thought an unkillable monster had invaded the Drachma!"

"Didn't you say the Saintess was ambushed before that!"

"I thought the story was all about the appearance of Lee Gun's legendary weapon!"

"Shit! What a mess!"

The journalists felt faint. Stories that would take up the front page on a normal day had appeared one after another. And all this had taken place in half a day.

'The news about the Devil's Tower not too long ago was enough to cause waves around the world.'

As if that wasn't enough, in the week following that, the reporters continued to receive news pieces that felt like nuclear bombs. They felt as if their souls were about to leave their bodies.

"Uh... Which one should be our top story?"

"Do you even need to ask? We have to put up all of them!"

"We already pushed out three bulletins. Even CNN is wondering if these are just rumors..."

Instead of an answer, the director threw his pen at the reporter. It meant he wanted the reporter to work instead of talking so much.

"We still have no idea who did it—" as soon as the reporter said this...

Another young reporter rushed into the conference room. "It was Lee Gun!"

"What?"

"Lee Gun pushed the Leo Saint off Drachma!"

"...?" The director's face was a sight to behold.

However, it didn't take long for everyone to burst into laughter.

"Look! If this is about the so-called message 'Lee Gun' sent to the broadcasting station, it was a forgery—"

"It isn't about that! The disciples of the Leo Saint witnessed that scene themselves!"

"...?"

"Moreover, the Saintess was found inside a septic tank, and it's being reported that Lee Gun wrote some words on her back!"

"...!" Intuitively, the director realized something big had happened.

[Around 3 pm on Friday, the Saintess was kidnapped from the Integrated Exchange..]

[After the medical staff transported her to the hospital, she regained consciousness. However, she screamed when she saw a Lee Gun doll amongst the get-well-soon gifts. Then, she fell unconscious once again. Everyone is confused about this...]
