32 Chapter-32 : "Truth"

I continued looking at the reporters in front of me who were taking notes "we calculated, all of the weapons they bought were worth 25 million, you can only imagine how much weaponry they could gather with remaining €969 millions"

"With that kind of money, they could have supported most of the terror activities in East for years"

"The ministry of internal affairs along with many world leaders were now in panic, this could have very well meant death of thousands of people if this matter was ignored so."

"The President, using the Alpha protocol, appointed me, his exclusive task force leader, to handle the matter and prevent unfortunate death of innocent people"

I pointed my hand towards Alicia who was sitting eating along with the board of ministry, as I said "Under my orders, Madam Alicia Sierra, took custody of Anibal, a top priority terrorist, to make him spill out secrets worth thousands of lives and millions futures"

I looked down with a sad expression as I said "Everything Cortes said was true, we exactly tortured him as he said, he was kept in a 50 cm wide cell, left to his own devices in there, he dig his own grave in which he was buried later, he was fed coffee to keep him awake while giving him cold showers..."

There was heavy talking around in the room as cameras continued clicking photos.

"But seeing their partner was being held by police, their group decided to do something to both free their captured man and make profit out too"

"They released approximately €150 million worth of falsely printed notes from these zeppelins to create chaos around madrid to create a diversion and do what terrorists do"

"They took over the bank of spain while holding almost a hundred innocent people as hostages, threatening to kill them if we don't comply"

"Then portraying themselves as the heroes, they lead the innocent public of Spain astray by antagonising the government, inciting violence, destruction of property, and death of 2 innocent people who died in the middle of Madrid due to chaos they created."

I said as I showed people being escorted to hospitals who got injured due to the chaos in the city.

"As you can see, they are doing what all terrorists do, burning the faith people have in government, slowly using the people of Spain itself to become supporters of their crimes, and this was exactly what they did last time in the Royal Mint, using Alison Parker, a top priority person to create difference between our own people and getting away with almost a billion euros."

I made a hard expression on my face as I said "It is true we tortured Anibal Cortes, even more than he remembers, but leading people astray, he thinks we will forget who he really is, a terrorist"

"You people must think that no human being should have been treated the way he was, then let me tell you"

I walked aside from podium, as I took my suit off along with my shirt and inner armor.

The media audibly gasped as they saw multitude of injuries, from burnt marks to slicing wounds everywhere, even many bullet holes and stitches on my Greek god looking physique.

"I never subjected him to anything I haven't gone through myself before"

I looked directly into the camera as said "Cortes, I know you are listening, so listen well. You got off quite easy, you don't know the dark side of the human nature, you don't know what it feels like to burnt by red hot piece of metal, what it feels like to be gashed open with a beer bottle that they broke on your head, to have salt rubber on your wounds, to be kept without food for 5 days, what it feels to run from a pack of hungry wolves being hunting you for days when you yourself haven't ate in a week, what it feels be electrocuted 5 times a day, what it feels to fight for every single inch of your life each passing second, you don't know it"

I turned to the audience that was visible disturbed by my injuries in front of me as I said "You people must be thinking how is that possible, the answer is simple, this world isn't rainbows and flowers as people see it as, people like us have to dirty our hands, our bodies, our souls, so that the world above sleeps peacefully"

I wore my clothes back as I continued. "I know how it is to be tortured when only thing you were doing was service to humanity, I also know the darkness and depth to which humanity can fall, but what this man was doing was not service to humanity, it was terrorism."

"I could have gone rogue after escaping that fortunate day, but my faith in my people was unbroken, I knew I would continue to do my service to innocent people of this world, even if that meant my end" I said as I wiped a tear off my eyes with a piece of cloth.

"But when I see people like him, doing what he did to divide this country, breaking apart the unity of our nation, using people I swore to protect from any kind of harm as meat shields to continue their unholy plans. Contorting the beliefs of people of this country to suit their heinous crimes, my blood boils." I said with anger apparent in my voice and my eyes.

I banged onto the podium, taking a deep breath to calm my voice, I continued

"That was the reason why Anibal Cortes, alias Rio, was tortured the way he was, there should be no mercy for the scum of earth like him"

"Thinking that by feeding half truth to people, public support would be with them, using our own people against us they can get away this time too"

"Thinking they would get away with more than 50 tons of national gold reserve, the money of the people of this country, to fund their future crimes"

I looked into the camera again as I asked with a serious voice "My question is, do they think they are too smart or the people of this country too dumb, cause that is the only thing I could see till now from their actions"

"My question to the public of Spain is, Are you the people for which we suffered so much? , the people who are now supporting this group of terrorists? The people I thought would sleep peacefully due to my sacrifice, my brothers who sacrificed their lives for this noble cause??"

"My brothers in heaven that didn't see young or old, rich or poor, color or religion neither did they saw their families that they left behind without a son, without a father, a brother, a husband, just gave their lives to their cause, their faith, their duty, their pride... The people of this world"

"May God bless their immortal souls in heaven" I said the last part in a small voice as I wiped another tear from my eyes.

"The man, Osman you see, is a family man, who thought for his future, his family's future and aided us. He, is a son, a husband, and a father of two"

"But under these situation, even I would open my mouth to say what I know" I said as I showed a video on screen.

People became horrified as they saw Osman being at point of two AK-47s and a pistol, and the man creating the video that was just live a few minutes ago.

But what terrified them was seeing two little girls and a women tied to a chair with a man in automatic rifle standing behind them pointing their guns at them.

"This is what your professor does, threatening not the man he wants to, but his family, his daughters that didn't knew why their father had been pointed with guns, why their mom was crying while begging the men for their lives"

"This is satellite feed that we can see, we just got this from our intelligence"

The people in the room became grossed out, scared and angry at the same time.

"You guys don't need to worry, we have secured Osman and his family and they are now as far away from any harm they can be"

"But being the coward your professor is, he ran away as soon as he milked out benefits for himself, thinking by portraying half the truth, he would successfully turn people of this country in his favor"

"Now people, is that lowlife degenerate terrorist, the worst scum of earth worth sacrificing your life for?"
