Chapter 472: 466: Press Conference

“I didn’t say that, you did. You’ll have to handle him. However, he can’t leave the country,” Jack Lewis pointed to Gregory Worthington standing behind Finn Lewis and spoke.

“That’s not a problem, but Jack, are there more? I’ll take as many people like him as you have,” Finn Lewis tentatively asked.

“No problem finding people. But whether I can hand them over to you isn’t up to me. I can provide a report, but on one condition: you have to keep an eye on these people. If any problems arise, it’s your responsibility.” Jack Lewis rarely got serious. These people weren’t being used by the state for a reason. Gregory was a special case. Finn didn’t know why the others were sidelined, but he’d deal with it when the time came.

“I understand.” Finn felt a bit uneasy. Like the previous example Jack gave about the biologist researching viruses, Finn wouldn’t dare employ such a person. If any information leaked, Finn would have to bear the consequences.

After leaving from here, Finn Lewis and Jack Lewis parted ways. Finn assumed that Jim Lewis was called by Olivia Thatcher. Gregory was told to take a car with Jim. As for where they would take him to unwind in the evening, that was left to Olivia to arrange.

Finn headed back to Sports Stadium at F University. The project there was quite intricate. Many of the items had been directly exchanged by Finn himself, such as the high-definition display screen, network cables, and other equipment.

After settling matters there, Finn greeted Kevin Worthington before leaving. The security here at night was under Kevin Worthington’s responsibility; Finn felt reassured. If he wasn’t reassured even with these soldiers around, Finn wasn’t sure what else could reassure him.

The journalists also began to speculate. If everything was real, for example, if today’s press conference announced that the graphene CPU chips were indeed the real deal and could be mass-produced, then even if the North Federation didn’t impose a ban, the Flame Nation officials were likely not far from gradually replacing WT’s CPUs.

Although they might still need to purchase initially, the purchased CPUs would not be applied to systems like Tinny 2 but used elsewhere. Announcing that they would be used on Tinny 2 was probably just a cover-up to fool the North Federation. Now, it seemed that the North Federation’s ban policy was a direct hit.

But regardless of the final outcome, these journalists queued to go through the security checks and enter the venue. The number of journalists attending today surpassed many people’s expectations, likely more than those who would attend a press conference held by some Flame Nation office. At least a thousand journalists were now entering the venue — many of whom had rushed to Flame Nation only yesterday — and they had come from all over the world.

Many of the media reporting live from the press conference included foreign media, like those from the North Federation, such as CBC. The story was closely connected to the policy just launched by the North Federation government.

With time fast approaching, Finn met someone backstage. Upon seeing Gregory Worthington, he was taken aback. Gregory looked decidedly pale. Wordlessly, Finn shot a glance at Jim Lewis standing behind him and asked helplessly, “Did you party hard last night?”

“I’ve been stuck for years. I thought I’d let loose for once. I found three gorgeous women last night. I think I overdid it a bit.” Gregory awkwardly scratched his head.

Finn gave him a thumbs-up, impressed. Were these, the femme fatales? These women’s battle strength was not something simple housewives could match. The fact that he was still able to get out of bed was a testament to his stamina.
