Chapter 1580 - 1579: Disclosure

It seems Swift's eyes revealed a hint of panic, as Lu Yu's eyes now showed increasingly blatant contempt, and he began to speak: "Your name is Swift, correct? Minister of Internal Affairs of the United Kingdom?"

In his words, Lu Yu's voice slightly rose, his tone dripping with disdain, as if he were a cat eyeing a mouse, locked eyes with Swift before him.

"Y-Yes."

Upon hearing Lu Yu, Swift instinctively responded, his gaze evasive, his words laced with stutter.

Evidently, Lu Yu's previous actions struck a massive chord with Swift's heart, rendering his voice quivering.

"Oh, really."

At these words, Lu Yu spoke coldly, his mouth curled into a sinister smile as he continued: "Do you know, Swift? I am very curious."

Pausing here, Lu Yu fixed his gaze on Swift before him and continued speaking: "Why do you, as a distinguished Minister of Internal Affairs, care so much about this matter?"

His voice was icy, carrying an implacable air of doom: "Is it possible, you have ties with Crescent Group?!"

Lu Yu's cold and detached voice filled with questions, exuding a sense of irony.

"You're spewing nonsense!"

Upon Lu Yu's words, Swift retorted vehemently, his voice laced with agitation, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "What basis do you have for saying that?"

Swift's speech was urgent and visibly angry at a glance.

"Don't hurry, Minister of Internal Affairs."

Seeing Swift's reaction, Lu Yu spoke with laughter, his gaze filled with sneers and ridicule: "I'm merely speculating, is there a need to be so agitated?"

And then Lu Yu's speech became icy, full of mockery: "Or perhaps, my words were spot on!?"

Lu Yu's voice was deep and playful, his eyes fixated on Swift, exerting invisible pressure upon him!

"Um..."

Upon hearing, Swift hesitated, looking at Lu Yu, not knowing how to respond at that moment!

"What's the matter, Mr. Swift?"

Noticing Swift's hesitant expression, Lu Yu coldly said: "You seem very troubled, could it be, you indeed have connections to the blackmail issues!?"

His voice fluctuated, sounding chilling.

Buzz!

At these words, Swift's scalp tingled, he looked at Lu Yu, wanting to speak, but dared not!

Because not only a bunch of media personnel were present, but also millions of viewers behind cameras watching a live broadcast!

These viewers represent formidable power in the United Kingdom, and any impulsive action on his part could have unthinkable consequences!

Also, he couldn't easily end the broadcast, as the atmosphere had entirely built up with everyone focused on this matter; disruptions could spark larger protest activities the next day, leading to an uncontrollable situation!

Hence, Swift was cornered, roasting in fire, unable to advance or retreat!

"Of course not!"

Thinking this, after brief contemplation, Swift coldly stated: "As the Minister of Internal Affairs of the United Kingdom, I must maintain discipline and integrity, with no corporate ties whatsoever, there's no way I am connected with Crescent Group!"

His voice full of righteous indignation, he sounded like an incorruptible, upright official, cold and angry.

"Good!"

Hearing Swift, Lu Yu loudly praised: "Since Mr. Swift is so incorruptible, I suppose you won't stop me from revealing some information, right?"

Lu Yu gazed at Swift, his tone replete with interrogation, sounding playful!

At that moment, if you observed Lu Yu's expression carefully, you would see profound confidence, as if the matter was already sealed!

Lu Yu wasn't worried about Swift's agreement since the situation was destined, and Swift had no choice to refuse!

Millions of viewers awaited Swift's response, having beaten his chest, proclaiming himself an upright Minister; if Swift rejects, it would undeniably indicate a problem!

Thus, Swift was utterly trapped, unable to reject Lu Yu's request!

"How about it, Mr. Swift?"

Thinking of this, Lu Yu cheekily said, his face smiling without warmth, eyes filled with malice:

"Since you are a disciplined, self-respected Minister with no corporate ties, you should support my revelation, right?"

"Y-Yes."

Upon hearing this, Swift stammered, his voice deep, filled with fear and unease due to his identity and the broadcast, saying: "These things indeed require disclosure, letting citizens know the truth!"

"Good!"

Upon hearing, Lu Yu stated: "Mr. Swift is indeed clean and upright, as such, I shall expose the darkness so viewers see how filthy Crescent Group is!"

His voice powerful, laced with a playful and chilling tone.
