"So far, the assaulted driver has been forced to pay fines to avoid jail time, but has lost his job as a taxi driver and is now unemployed."

"On the other hand, the police officers who exposed the truth still face charges, including misconduct, failure to identify themselves, interfering with officers on duty, failure to properly complete a formal report, and perjury for witnesses." - Village Voice

In the days that followed, the media exposed one after another the internal workings and corruption within the New York Police Department.

Public confidence in the New York Police Department began to waver.

Public opinion also criticized the New York City Police Department for regulating others instead of strictly regulating itself, suggesting that its so-called internal control was merely a cover-up.

The problems with the New York Police Department undoubtedly impacted Kim Jong-il and the city's image.

In particular, in a previous Frontline report, Xu Fu’s pseudonym, reporter Clark, revealed that he had some connections with the New York Police Department.

As the media exposed police corruption and deliberate cover-ups of crimes, the public naturally began to associate it with the mayor.

If even the police dare to spy and steal, what about those in higher positions?

Meanwhile, those who had previously opposed King during the election campaign began to speak out, demanding that he resign as mayor.

Some believe that if King resigns, he could become the shortest-serving mayor in New York City's history.

Amid the escalating situation, Zimbabwe responded swiftly.

Shortly after the media exposed the problems with the New York City Police Department, the city released a statement from Mayor Wilson, saying that he was unaware of the corruption issues within the NYPD and that, as mayor, he would establish a special investigation team to thoroughly investigate the matter.

At the same time, he said that this was all fabricated and figured out by those who did not want to see themselves in this situation.

The implication is that a hero who opposes registration may be the mastermind behind it all.

Kim and some of his activities, especially his speaking engagements, successfully deceived the unsuspecting public.

They were convinced by Kim Jong-un that he might not be involved in the problems of the New York Police Department, given his short tenure as mayor and the fact that the department had been corrupt for years, even decades.

Just when everyone thought this would be the end.

Frontline News reporter Clark Kent has released his latest findings.

This suggests that the mayor had some connection with a former organization in Hell's Kitchen, a connection unknown to outsiders, and perhaps also related to his "white finger" incident.

The new report from The Frontline, especially the photo that appeared on the front page.

If the rumors about Kim Jong-il and the mayor's ties to the mafia are true, they could be a major factor in the downfall of his opponents.

Just when all eyes were on the news coverage of the New York City mayor's involvement (bbaj).

Earlier, an investigative team made a breakthrough in its investigation of the New York Police Department: "Of the 16 officers charged, seven were found guilty of deliberately framing others to meet arrest quotas, eight of smuggling weapons, and one of deliberately arresting the wrong person due to bias. Meanwhile, corruption charges were brought against four senior officers and two other officers, including a New York City police sergeant."

Kim Jong-il made his choice to abandon his vehicle in the face of mounting public pressure.

Corrupt officials within the NYPD were thrown out onto the streets, some of whom were likely people he had placed within the department to mitigate the consequences of the entire scandal.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

A longtime gang leader from Hell's Kitchen was arrested after another man claimed to be the person in the earlier Frontline report's photos.

Some media outlets compared the two people's appearances and found that they do look somewhat similar.

Meanwhile, the journalist who took the photo admitted that New York City Mayor Wilson Fiske may not be the subject of the photo.

Undoubtedly, this is a work by Monk Jin.

The scapegoat has lessened New Yorkers' suspicions of the mayor, coupled with his current media persona and the fact that he looks completely different from before. In fact, many people are not entirely sure if he is the same person in the photo.

Coupled with the NYPD's investigation and the facts that have been revealed, people naturally assume that all of this may simply be the result of the media haphazardly collecting news for the sake of reporting.

But it doesn't matter.

Clark Kent has become a well-known figure in the public eye as a frontline journalist exposing potential "suspicious" scandals involving the mayor of New York City.

The public supports this journalist who dared to expose the truth.

It was through his reporting that he got New York City to set up an investigative team to expose corruption within the NYPD.

A recent mayoral opinion poll also showed that Kim Jong Un is trying to clear his ties with underground organizations.

However, inevitably, his poll numbers are still showing a clear downward trend, with a gap of about 10% compared to the previous increase, due to the tough guy image caused by his trauma.

At the same time, distrust of the NYPD has led to a shift in public attitudes toward superheroes: most people say that executive orders should probably be stopped first, and that even unlicensed superheroes are better than corrupt police officers.

At least they won't frame ordinary citizens or arrest people indiscriminately.

Chapter 598 Persecution

[Contact with distorted time nodes reduces the number of time fragments collected by x1].

[TheBronzeSeal(82/100)].

Of course.

Xu Fu looked at the content displayed in the text, a thoughtful expression flashing across his face.

As the impact of the news in the Frontline newspaper grew, his collection of [time fragments] also seemed to be changing.

Is there some kind of connection between them?

After much thought, Xu Fu's gaze fell upon the [Time Fragment (Jin Nan)]. In the shimmering light of the fragment, he vaguely saw Jin Nan swinging his fists, beating his opponent into a bloody mess. The fragment was covered in blood, which filled most of the image. Every appearance of Jin Nan was accompanied by bloodshed and brutality, until he raised his cane.

Xu Fu was not surprised by the [time fragment] showing Jin and his appearance.

As a gang leader, Kim has achieved his current position and even ran for mayor of New York City. In fact, he climbed up the ladder through his own hard work, punch by punch.

In other words, what is not "inspiring" behavior?

A boy who lost his father at a young age grew up amidst hardship and eventually won a mayoral election in New York City. This is the classic "American Dream" story. Unfortunately, the real-life protagonist of this "American Dream" is not accepted by the public because he used cruel methods to achieve his dream.

Unfortunately, I was the only one who could see the imagery in [Time Fragments], otherwise I could have easily gotten gold and walked off the stage based solely on his content, whatever it was.

A hint of regret lingered in his heart, and he shifted his gaze, fixing it on the [Fragment of Time].

Xu Fu was puzzled by another question: if this counts as contact, why didn't he receive [time fragments] when he reported on Spider-Man before?

You know, there was a time when Gene was “attacked” and he released a Spider-Man report in exactly the same way.

However, that time obviously didn't create a [temporary fragment] like the one in front of him. It was only through the Thunder Force's follow-up actions that he obtained the fragment from Spider-Man and also learned the other party's true identity.

What exactly is the difference?

Frowning, the only difference between the two is the level of news reporting.

In the Spider-Man case, Frontline was just one of many published reports and didn't have a significant impact. Now, by contrast, he is the real whistleblower in the mayor's scandal reporting, the whistleblower of the entire news event.

This had a real impact on Mayor Kim.

Therefore, if you want to gain significant time through journalism, you must have sufficient influence.

It propelled me toward becoming an investigative journalist.

In any case, it's always good to discover a new way to obtain [time fragments].

This means that if Xu Fu wanted, he could obtain [time fragments] by revealing the other person's story. If one story didn't work, he could write more; if that didn't work either, he could publish a book. In short, as long as Gene was in his position, he could obtain [time fragments].

Therefore, Xu Fu did not want Kim Jong-il to retire so early.

After all, what could be easier than obtaining a [Time Fragment]?

...

See you tomorrow, Kent.

Frontier Daily.

After Xu Fu exposed the mayor's scandal, his status at the newspaper changed significantly, and some colleagues who were not very familiar with him began to cheer him on.

He reached out and fixed his glasses on his face, then turned and nodded to his journalist friends at the newspaper.

As fewer and fewer people remain within the boundary, Xu Fu, with the help of [Super Hearing], ensures that there are no strangers around.

He glanced at the press release mostly left on his laptop, took a deep breath, and with the [speed] activated, his hands flew across the keyboard, adding shadows to the lines and producing a series of rapid typing sounds. What would have taken half an hour was completed in a mere minute.

Xu Fu stopped typing, read the press release again, and nodded in satisfaction.

In fact, this wasn't even the fastest thing he wanted to do.

It is entirely possible to compose a press release in just a few seconds.

He simply had to "slow down" a bit because the laptop's performance didn't allow for such a fast response time.

After editing the press release, Xu Fu casually emailed it to Banjulik as part of tomorrow's "Frontline" report.

His figure became a straight line, and in the blink of an eye, he began to tidy up everything on his desk.

Xu Fu, carrying a laptop bag, appeared at the elevator entrance in a flash, pressed a button, and resumed his normal speed.

...

Stepping out of the elevator, Xu Fu walked out of the Frontline Newspaper building.

The car had already started and was about to leave.

Suddenly, [Super Hearing] sensed something unusual.

His eyebrows were slightly raised behind his glasses, his expression remained unchanged, and he remained calm and composed as he started the car and continued on his designated route.

. thirty ...

"He's out."
