Wilbur knew that something was off at once as well.
It was definitely no coincidence that someone was taking photos at a time like this.
Elsa's expression darkened, and she shouted, "Bring them over here!"
A team of Special Forces officers ran over.
Very soon, a few people holding professional cameras were brought over.
All of them seemed strangely calm.
Wilbur looked at them quietly, his expression ashen.
Elsa turned to them coldly. "Who are you, and why are you here?"
"We're reporters. Here's my license." One young man took out a reporter's ID and passed it to Elsa.
Elsa glanced at it. "Wade Holen, a reporter for the CNS?"
"That's right. These are all fellow industry members of mine, just not from the same network."
Elsa frowned. "Why are you all here?"
"We received a complaint about an illegal arrest and mistreatment of the elderly, so we came to do some field work." A smug smirk appeared on Wade's face.
Elsa turned to Wilbur at the words.
Just then, Faye turned to whisper in Wilbur's ear, "Watch out. Someone's trying to get you into trouble. We're going to be the talk of the town the second this goes up."
Wilbur knew how fast news spread on the internet, and thus saw how serious of a matter this was.
Just then, one of the middle-aged women stood up and stuck out her chin haughtily at Wilbur and the others.
"Oh, really now? All I see is you calling Special Forces on a group of powerless senior citizens in the middle of a peaceful protest," Wade said nonchalantly.
Wilbur understood the meaning of the words then.
These reporters were clearly in cahoots with the old folks as well.
Wilbur smirked to himself. These bastards were going to learn to be better at picking their battles the hard way.
He looked over to Elsa. "I've explained everything. The authorities can handle the rest."
Wilbur turned to head back inside after that.
Just then, Faye came over to Elsa and whispered, "Tell them to leave and warn them against reporting false information. Cape's reputation, as well as Wilbur's, will be affected for sure."
Elsa nodded.
