Chapter 271 Good Idea
“The outcome mustn’t be left uncertain,” Kallum interrupted. “But the interference device is a good idea. Have Quintus modify it to ensure that the disease detector will show a green light during the test.”
“Understood!” Quintus replied and quickly left. Modifying the detector would take time, so he needed to act fast.
“They might use other testing methods, Calista said, sounding hesitant. “Blood tests are not the only tools. They could use test strips or other non–electronic devices. In that case, the interference device would be useless.
Her concern was valid, but time was pressing. Kallum had to announce the press conference to calm the public before figuring out a foolproof plan as delaying further would only make things worse for him.
Hearing that the Fairchild family would hold a press conference and that Kallurn was willing to undergo a public blood test at the hospital, the protesters calmed down considerably.
With the conference set for the day after tomorrow, they decided to wait, as making a fuss now seemed pointless.
However, Harvey held his own press conference first.
He feared the Fairchild family might kill him in anger before their conference if he didn’t appear in front of the public as soon as possible. Besides, to create momentum, he needed to release a statement first and sway public opinion quickly.
He portrayed himself as a victim who knew the truth but was silenced by the Fairchild family, causing a huge stir in Horington.
Everyone closely followed the developments, particularly focusing on Harvey.

“Mr. Wolford, is what you said true? Were you targeted by the Fairchild family because you discovered the truth?”
Although most reporters were cautious, the Murray family was somewhat influential. To seek revenge for losing two ports, they got a few reporters from various radio stations and news agencies to interview Harvey. Besides, as the matter had escalated, the state also started an investigation. Thus, some reporters who thought that the Fairchild family was doomed immediately went there to interview Harvey.
Looking haggard and miserable, Harvey spoke weakly but passionately in front of numerous microphones. “That is right! Kallum was infected with the K Virus a year ago. Calista has been keeping him alive. I accidentally discovered his secret, which led to my current situation…”
He continued pitifully. “This concerns everyone’s lives. To verify it, I had a friend secretly obtain the water used during Kallum’s blood test. It was not pure water! My friend tested it with a strip, and it changed color! If Kallum was fine, why tamper with the water? Unfortunately, my friend could not smuggle the evidence out of Fairchild Mandr
Reporters snapped photos frantically. Someone asked, “Are you implying that Ms. Calista Stafford knows a Tar shout the V Virus and has agnethed in nealong the lives of infarted nationtr
