The television and the phone screens of everyone in Maharlika displayed the live stream of a mysterious group who were wearing masks.
Arlan stared at the camera as he spoke. "Hello, citizens of Maharlika. We apologize for this disturbance, but we have something important to disclose." Winter changed his voice so no one would recognize him.
The people of Maharlika were shocked and fearful about the live stream. Some were skeptical about them and there were also people who think that they were some online celebrities who were playing a prank. However, the authorities were alerted by their live stream since it was broadcasted to the whole country by force.
"We are here to inform everyone about the true nature of the president." Arlan muttered behind his mask.
Everyone's screens changed and the evidence of the president's corruption was fully displayed.
From bribery, extortion, and many other criminal activities. Everything was displayed live on screen.

"Who are those people?! Find out who they are and shut down this whole d*mn thing!" President Maracas shouted in rage as he slammed his phone on the floor. He looked at the live broadcast on the television with a twisted expression on his face.
"Mr. President, we can't track their location and our people are still trying to shut down the live broadcast..." The president's assistant nervously reported.
The president angrily grabbed him by the collar and shouted. "You g*dd*mn useless piece of sh*t! Tell them to find those bast*rds as quick as possible!"
"Y-Yes, Mr. President." The assistant nodded his head with great difficulty.
"Scram!" The president pushed him off. After his assistant left, he grabbed a spare phone from his drawer and called someone.
"Hello, Mr. President!"
"Find the people responsible for this matter and kill them immediately!" President Maracas muttered through gritted teeth. The live broadcast was a major blow to his reputation. Even the Maracas Family would take a major hit from this incident.
"We are already tracking them as we speak, Mr. President. We'll eliminate them after we identified their location."
"Alright." President Maracas disconnected the call after that. The person he called just now was the leader of his private army. They were his blades and they would do anything he commands! Most of his political enemies have died in their hands!
"Who is it?!" The president slammed his table while screaming furiously.

Inside the headquarters of Taguig City Police Station.
Fabian and the other police officers watched the live broadcast with mixed emotions. More than half of them were huge supporters of the president so the evidence of his corruption was quite the shock to them. Many of them couldn't believe that the person they admired was actually a demon in disguise.
"Is this all true?"
"Did the president really do all that?"
"He is a beast! We have to capture him even if he is the president!"
Meanwhile, Fabian suddenly thought about his conversion with Arlan last night. 'Is this why he wanted me to sleep early yesterday? Is this matter related to him?'
Standing beside him, Zenny stared at Fabian's reaction thoughtfully.

After the evidence of the president's corruption was revealed, the entire populace was in an uproar.
President Maracas won the last presidential election by a huge margin. More than half of the voting population voted for him back then.
Everyone started regretting their decisions.
"I shouldn't have voted for him! He is a liar!"
"He should be impeached!"
The online broadcast received strong support from the public after the president's corruption was revealed. A group of protesters even started to gather in front of the Malaca?ang Palace to show their opposition.
Some of the president's loyal followers decided to lay low after they saw the solidarity of the public. They didn't want to be involved in this so they displayed a watch-and-see approach.
Meanwhile, the live broadcast suddenly shifted back to Arlan and the soldiers who were in disguise.
"As you have seen, the president is involved in many crimes. As for how we gathered all this information, we got it from this person." The soldiers moved to the side and they revealed a person who was tied up on a chair.
It was Donnyl Lisondra.
The people watching the live broadcast were shocked to see him. The president told them last night that this man was a criminal on the run.
Arlan continued speaking. "This man is the former police chief of Taguig City Police Station and he also has a secret identity... He is the president's personal killer... You heard that right. All the murders against the president's political enemies were mostly committed by this person. We captured him recently and that's why the president is looking for him. He didn't want anyone to know about his deeds."
"Citizens of Maharlika, wake up and face the truth! This is the president you voted for! Because of your foolishness, many were affected! You always blamed the government for everything, but you were the ones who voted for those corrupt leaders! Take this as a lesson and learn from your mistakes!" The live broadcast ended soon after that last message.
Everyone stared blankly at the screen. The words of the masked man resonated in their hearts.

President Maracas slumped on his chair and rubbed his temples. He knew that his political career was over. The Maracas Family might also be torn apart because of this incident. "Sh*t! Why is this happening?! Which bast*rd is playing with me?!"
The president's wife entered the office and she came running towards him with a distraught face. "Dear, there is a large group of protesters outside the palace! Our bodyguards are barely holding them back! We need to leave here quickly!"
"Shut up!" President Maracas pushed his wife to the side as he walked by the window. He took a peek at the scene outside and saw a large crowd of civilians standing in front of the palace.
The president felt a bit nervous when he saw this. "Let's go! We need to get out of here!" He shouted as he grabbed his crying wife.
