Vince revealed all the information without holding anything back in front of the media, as this was the real reason Hera had called the press conference.
It wasn’t meant for Vince’s assistant to exin anything to the public. In fact, she had only sent Vince’s assistant to the stage to briefly hold the press while waiting for Vince to arrive.
All the evidence had already been handed over to the authorities to clear Vince’s name, which was why the police had escorted him back to the press conference location as soon as he was released from custody.
The sound of cameras clicking never ceased as Vince continued to cycle through slide after slide, presenting the overwhelming evidence that Hera, Sasha, Leo, Dave, Luke, and Xavier had uncovered using theirbined resources.
Vince had also taken precautions, secretly safeguarding crucial information in case there was a corporate spy who had infiltrated his operation without his knowledge. In the end, these precautions paid off, as he was now able to use some of this hidden evidence to prove his innocence.
Their coborative effort allowed them to efficiently delegate tasks and conquer the challenge together.
With Dave’s assistance, they sessfully uncovered evidence of foul y, revealing a conspiracy tied to the government.
It became apparent that the current president’s political rival had orchestrated this scheme to destabilize the Averypany.
The rival’s ultimate goal was to manipte the economy by using thepany as leverage, effectively holding the public hostage to force them into ousting the president and electing him instead.
The Avery’s capital has a significant impact on Barcelona’s economy, given that much of the city’s industry revolves around them. With control over a majority ofpanies across various sectors, the Avery holds immense influence. It wasn’t far-fetched to believe that they could manipte the country’s economy if they chose to withhold their funds. This is exactly what the political rival was after—the power to control the economy and hold it hostage.
He promised sweeping economic reforms while using the current president of conspiring against the nation, aiming to have him imprisoned.
To achieve this, the rival had colluded with a powerful businessman behind the attack on Avery, creating a calcted n to destroy the president’s credibility and secure his own path to power.
When Dave initiated the investigation, vowing to support whoever could uncover the truth behind the attack, the rival felt cornered. Fearing exposure, he did everything in his power to obstruct Dave’s efforts while desperately working to cover his tracks and protect his involvement in the scheme.
As clever as Dave was, he wasn’t easily manipted or taken for a fool. Having been involved in politics himself, he was familiar with these kinds of tactics.
So, before the president’s political rival could make a move, Dave and the current president had already joined forces to take him down.
True to his word, Dave supported the president in removing his enemy from power.
The rival was ced under house arrest, which made it much easier for them to conduct the investigation with him in their custody.
However, the political rival held nearly equal power to the current president, with many influential people and businessmen backing him.
It took days for Dave and the president to conduct the investigation and clean up the ranks across various sectors, including the police department.
Among those involved were individuals from the Tax Bureau, who were orchestrating the Embezzlement and Tax Evasion investigation.
This was the reason behind their attempt to convict the Avery Branch office, especially Vince, despite the fact that the court had yet to rule him guilty.
They sought to manipte public opinion and paint him as guilty before the legal process could unfold.
As the evidence wasid out before him, the head of the Tax Bureau’s face drained of color, panic clearly marking his features.
His eyes frantically darted around the room, searching for something—or perhaps someone—but before he could react further, the police had already ascended the stage and began to handcuff him. "Wait, wait! I was just following orders!" he stammered in a desperate attempt to exin himself.
"Orders? From whom?" Vince scoffed, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
"The president certainly didn’t authorize you to ignore thew and bypass proper procedures. You chose to act outside the bounds of your office, attempting to convict me without clear, legitimate evidence."
"That only proves you’re conspiring with someone to pin the me on me." His eyes narrowed as he fixed the head of the Tax Bureau with a mocking sneer. "Don’t worry. Your ’master’ has already been escorted to the police station ahead of you."
" I’m sure you’ll have a chance to meet him there. Maybe you can even share a taste of the prison food together." Vince shed a toothy grin, his wordsced with vindictive amusement.
Then, the police moved in for another arrest. "Wait! You’ve got the wrong person!" his assistant shouted, panic creeping into his voice.
"Sir, please! Help me! What’s going on?!" Vince shot his assistant a look of pure contempt, his gaze unwavering as he watched the police handcuff him.
The reporters on-site were in an uproar, shocked by the abrupt arrest, especially since Vince hadn’t finished presenting all his evidence yet.
It seemed as though the authorities were more eager to act than to let the truth unfold. Sensing the shift in the atmosphere, Vince shifted his attention back to the reporters, his expression cold and calcting.
With a swift motion, he grabbed the remote, changing the slide on the screen as he addressed the crowd, his voice firm and steady. "Now, as I was saying..."
