A few days later, Allison and Lucas stepped into the globally anticipated science summit. As they walked through the corridor, curious and skeptical eyes followed them. The conference hall, lavishly decorated and solemn, had screens constantly displaying the faces and profiles of attendees from around the world. Under the spotlight of a global broadcast, they became the center of attention.
Lucas asked softly, "Are you ready?" His gaze revealed caution.
"There's no other choice." A flicker of resolve crossed Allison's eyes. She knew that after today, the world would never be the same.
The host announced the agenda, and Allison and Lucas were led to the main stage. Behind the screens, leaders, scientists, and the public from all nations awaited their speech. Below the stage, representatives of the Bureau sat in the shadows, their gazes sharp as knives, scrutinizing every move they made.
Allison took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "Today, we stand here not to discuss the future of technology, but to reveal the truth hidden beneath its shiny surface." Her voice echoed through the hall, firm and powerful. Lucas picked up the thread, speaking with composure, "The Fiber Bureau, once a symbol of hope, has now become a tool of oppression and control." His words stirred a wave of murmurs across the audience.
The Bureau's representatives broke their silence. One of them stood, his voice laced with suppressed anger, "Your accusations are baseless! This is a blatant defamation of the Bureau."
Allison remained unmoved and continued, "The evidence we hold is enough to prove that the Bureau has been using fiber energy for covert military experiments and is attempting to seize control of the global energy system. Now, I will show the world the facts they dare not reveal."
As she spoke, shocking footage appeared on the screen, exposing the Bureau's dark operations. The video displayed the weaponization of fiber energy and revealed the involvement of high-ranking officials from multiple countries. The conference hall plunged into a heavy silence.
Allison's voice pierced through the stillness once more, "The truth cannot be buried, and justice cannot be delayed. We stand here today to let the world see the truth and ensure that justice prevails." Her words, like a tolling bell, awakened everyone present and shook the hearts of global viewers.
The Bureau's representatives finally broke their silence, and one of them stood up, his voice cold, "Your accusations are without foundation! This is an open slander against the Bureau." His tone carried a hint of rage, attempting to suppress the growing doubts with authority.
Allison was unfazed. Her voice was steady as she said, "The evidence we possess is irrefutable. It reveals the Bureau's secret military experiments involving fiber energy and their plot to control the global energy system. Now, I will show the world the truth they fear to disclose."
As her words fell, the images on the screen stunned the audience, documenting the dark operations behind the Bureau. The video revealed the process of weaponizing fiber energy and displayed a list of high-ranking officials from various countries involved. The air in the conference hall seemed to freeze—an eerie silence filled the room.
Allison glanced around, sensing the shift in atmosphere. The once-skeptical gazes turned to shock, while the Bureau's representatives grew pale, whispering urgently, seemingly plotting their next move.
Lucas whispered to Allison, "We've lit the flame; they can't avoid it anymore." Suddenly, the lights flickered, and a brief darkness fell over the hall, increasing the tension, as if danger was imminent.
The host attempted to maintain order, but the unrest in the room was undeniable. The Bureau was clearly not going to let things spiral out of control. Security personnel began moving toward the stage, and Allison and Lucas realized they were about to face a more direct challenge.
Straightening her back, Allison gripped the chip in her hand tightly. "They won't back down easily. We must be ready for their retaliation." Lucas's gaze was resolute; he knew this was only the beginning. The eyes of the entire world were on them now. What they carried wasn't just personal risk—it was the future of the world.
"We've lifted the veil. Now, it's time to face the storm," his voice echoed with finality.
Just as public opinion reached a fever pitch, the lights in the hall suddenly went out, plunging the screens into darkness. A few seconds of silence passed, and everyone held their breath. Then, urgent alarms rang from all directions.
Allison and Lucas tensed, realizing the gravity of the situation. The Bureau's power was far greater than they had anticipated—exposing them wouldn't be enough to bring it down.
As the lights flickered back on, several Bureau agents, clad in black uniforms, stormed into the hall, swiftly surrounding Allison and Lucas.
"Your actions have crossed the line," one of the agents said coldly, his gaze icy as it locked onto them. The tension in the air was almost palpable.
Allison, undeterred, stood tall, her eyes meeting his with unwavering resolve. "The truth is out for all to see. You can no longer hide it."
Lucas stood close beside her, his tone calm but filled with strength. "You can arrest us, but the power of truth is indestructible."
The audience inside the hall watched in shock, barely able to believe what they were witnessing. What had begun as a discussion on fiber technology had escalated into a fierce political confrontation.
Allison and Lucas were escorted out of the hall, but their presence, along with the truths they had exposed, had already captured the world's attention. The information the Bureau had tried so hard to suppress had sparked an unpredictable chain reaction globally.
The next day, massive protests and demonstrations erupted worldwide. Waves of public outcry demanded a full investigation into the Fiber Bureau. In response, the Bureau's top officials hastily convened behind closed doors, scrambling to contain the escalating crisis.
However, as time passed, more internal documents were leaked, and public trust in the Bureau plummeted. Those who once confidently held control now found themselves trapped in an unprecedented predicament.
Allison and Lucas's actions forced the Bureau to announce a full-scale internal reform. Yet, they both knew this was merely a temporary ceasefire. The real battle had just begun.
The deepest forces within the Bureau remained hidden, quietly waiting in the shadows, ready to strike when the moment was right. Allison and Lucas understood that this struggle was far from over. The future confrontations would be fiercer and more brutal.
Allison stood by the window, gazing out at the neon lights flickering over the city skyline. She could feel the faint pulses of fiber energy within her, as if it were signaling the storm yet to come.
"They won't back down easily," she said softly, her voice filled with determination.
Lucas stepped beside her, his eyes deep with understanding. "Neither will we."
They exchanged a knowing smile, their unspoken bond now firmly established. Though the future was uncertain, they were ready. No matter what forces appeared, nothing would stop them from moving forward.
A few days later, an anonymous email suddenly appeared on Allison's personal terminal. She opened it, and the content made her face turn pale.
"The true controllers of the Bureau have begun to move. Next, they will…"
The message abruptly cut off, as if someone had deliberately interrupted its transmission.
Allison's fingers trembled slightly. She realized that the real fight was just beginning.
