Another reporter then raised his hand and Tetsuma pointed at him.
“My name is Damien, a journalist from Germany Esper News. I heard from the broadcast last time. If I am not wrong, you said that you wanted to help those who were held captive or in prison. Can you elaborate on that? Also, is the organization called Smiling Sun still exist?”
“That were two questions, Mr. Damien.” Tetsuma interjected it, but then Naomi said.
“That’s fine, I will answer those questions.”
Damien nodded his head in gratitude and then he sat back on his chair.
“Very well, the answer to that question is simple because they are related to each other. Smiling Sun's real leader is still alive, and from what I gathered, the leader of Smiling Sun is closely related to the Esper Association’s official, no, executive.”
The revelation of Naomi had shaken the reporters and journalists. They never expected that, because they thought that Mugetsu or Naomi had killed the leader in the lifestream.
However, they also noticed one thing.
“So the mind controller is still alive?”
One of the reporters said out loud. Naomi heard him and nodded her head.
“When I killed Mr. Taylor, which I thought was the leader of the Smiling Sun, the mind control wasn’t canceled yet. There is only one possibility of that, the real mind controller is still alive.”
A lot of reporters gasped.
The damage that was caused by the Riot yesterday was nothing to scoff at.
A lot of facilities were damaged, some of them were even destroyed beyond repair.
The total damage was uncountable because the Riot had not happened in Avos Island only.
A country like Mexico where the perfumes were still in distribution was also damaged from the Riot, no, they were more damaged than Avos Island.
The reason was simple, there was no Naomi that stopped the Riot in Mexico.
Not only the facilities were destroyed, but a lot of lives had also gone too. The casualties were massive, and Naomi said that the Smiling Sun’s leader was closely related to the Esper Association.
“Rekka, can you answer the other question? You are related to that after all.”
Naomi grabbed the microphone in front of her and handed it to Rekka who stood behind him.
The reporters were confused for a second, but then they remembered Naomi’s word earlier.
‘Almost all of her subordinates were victims of the Esper Association.’
Rekka took the microphone and slowly brought it near his mouth.
“It’s nice to meet all of you, this is my first time appearing in public like this. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Homuhara Rekka, known as Milady’s right hand, but that’s not my position. I am just the first person that Milady helped, I am not fit to be Milady’s right hand.”
The first thing that Rekka said was that he was not fit to be Naomi’s right hand.
Not only that, he didn’t call Naomi a Princess. It was something that Naomi ordered, to not call her Princess in public.
Calling Princess may cause two different reactions.
One, people will look up to Naomi and think of her as a kind Princess like in the fairy tale.
Or the second reaction, they will scorn Naomi and think of Naomi as a cruel person that ordered her subordinates to call her Princess.
She asked Rekka to call her boss, but Rekka refused it and chose to call her Milady instead.
That was enough to show Naomi’s position as his superior, and it was not strange for the daughter of Akasa Inc.’s CEO to be called Lady by other people.
More importantly, Milady sounded more mature than Princess.
Even in the high-society party, there were a lot of people that called Naomi with Milady, especially the maids and butlers.
“Regarding those who held captives, I was one of that person. I was framed, my business was destroyed. All of it was because I asked my little sister to decline their invitation to work at the Esper Association.”
Pausing a little to see the reporters’ reaction, Rekka then continued.
“The next day, an official from the Esper Association came to my office. They then demanded something that was out of my capabilities at that time. They forced my little sister to come with them.”
A gasp of surprise filled the press conferences as the camera flashed a few times. Remembering the painful memories, Rekka bit his lips and had a sad expression.
He then gulped his saliva and continued.
“My little sister was put in a facility below the Esper Association’s headquarter while I was put in a jail in Hokkaido. We did nothing wrong, and yet they … those bastards did an unquestionable experiment on my little sister. I only knew about it when Milady saved me and we attacked the Esper Association together. That was the first time Milady and I appeared, and the day when Moon of Akasha was created. My friend, Lee Hyun-Woo was there, stopping us for the sake of his sickly little sister. However…”
Rekka paused a little and his fist was clenched until it bleed.
“What he didn’t know was his little sister was put inside a tube beside my little sister in that basement. He then got angry and hate the Esper Association. They were only interested to experiment a unique Esper. My little sister had a unique ability, while Lee Hyun-Woo’s little sister had an immense power even though she was not a high-ranked Esper.”
The reporters looked at Rekka with a gaze that was full of sympathy. The emotion that Rekka showed was genuine.
“He’s not lying.” One of the Esper amongst the reporters said and cause a murmur.
Most of the reporters present known the name of that reporter.
They also knew that he had the ability to detect a lie. That was why the said reporter was always present in all of the important press conferences. He was trustworthy.
Naomi looked at the reporter that said that Rekka was not lying and then gestured Rekka to hand the microphone back to her with her hand.
When Rekka handed back the microphone again, Naomi said.
“Who is that reporter that said my subordinate didn’t lie?”
A reporter that stood beside Topaz stood up. He was wearing glasses and had short black hair. Instead of a notebook, he was holding a voice recorder.
When he stood up, he fixed his glasses and as usual, the employee of Akasa Inc. handed him a microphone.
“That was me.”
“May I know your name?” Asked Naomi in a polite tone.
“It’s Rodiguez. I am an independent reporter. I write in a blog, so I am not affiliated with any company. Also, I can detect a lie. My ability is well known amongst the reporters, so please don’t worry about it.”
Naomi smiled at his introduction and then said.
“Please do attest to our word. If you detect any lie from our answer, I guarantee you. You will not be punished or threatened, so tell the world that we are not lying.”
The reporter named Rodiguez fixed his glasses again and grinned.
“Of course, that’s what I will do.”
Naomi nodded her head again and raised her right hand a little.
“Well then, you may sit. The next question? We will take three last questions before proceeding to the announcement.”
