Building The Strongest Family

Chapter 79 - 79: The Truth Behind Lies

Rumors spread like wildfire: Osborn's miracle cures were nothing but smoke and mirrors.

Reports surfaced of AMHP-9 pods melting patients, VitaCore liquid causing genetic degradation, and NanoGel being merely glorified acid.

For three tumultuous days, the internet transformed into a battleground, with protests erupting outside Osborn Pharmaceutical and Biotech Group's headquarters.

Governments issued temporary suspensions while the top ten pharmaceutical giants poured billions into fueling the panic, watching their stock prices soar as Osborn's reputation crumbled.

Then three days later, at precisely 8:00 AM Panterra Standard Time, Osborn fired back.

Every screen in Panterra flickered to life, public billboards, private communications, even military-grade holodisplays came alive simultaneously.

The iconic Osborn logo pulsed once before cutting to a stark white room where Old Henry stood at the center.

His expression was calm, but his eyes were sharp as a scalpel.

"You've been lied to."

As if by magic, the screen split in two. On one side played viral "victim" videos; on the other, real-time forensic breakdowns dissecting each claim.

"This woman," Henry said, freezing a frame of a sobbing widow, "is Tessa Yorin,a quality control officer at a certain pharmaceutical company."

He zoomed in on her supposed burn. "Stage makeup. The timestamp? Fabricated."

A second clip rolled, a child screaming as NanoGel "burned" their arm.

"This footage was filmed in Aetheris Medical's testing lab," he noted coolly. "See that containment field? Standard for experimental toxins."

Then came the hammer.

"But let's show you what they've really been doing."

A chilling three-minute video began to play, devoid of narration or cuts.

In a vast underground laboratory, a man writhed in agony, strapped to a table as an imitation AMHP-9 pod malfunctioned.

His skin blistered under the assault of unstable nanites while scientists rushed to inject sedatives, their frantic movements punctuated by his screams.

In another lab, a child's arm was smeared with reverse-engineered NanoGel, flesh bubbling grotesquely as the formula destabilized.

Left side: A tearful "victim" from a certain pharmaceutical company's fake viral video, her face twisted in sorrow.

Right side: The same woman caught mid-laugh during takes from leaked lab footage.

The caption read:

"When you forget which lie you're supposed to be crying about today."

It spread like wildfire!

#HumanExperiments took social media by storm, amassing a staggering 150 million posts that shot straight to the top of every trending list.

Hot on its heels were #OsbornWasRight with 38 million posts and #ArrestTheCEOs, racking up 29 million.

But the most savage was #TryMeltingThis, where users posted side-by-side comparisons:

@BurnSurvivor_Mei didn't bother with prepared statements.

She simply turned on her camera, showing her once-ruined hands, now smooth and functional, flipping through news articles about the scandal.

"You all called me a paid shill," she said quietly. "Told me I was lying about my recovery. Well?"

She held up a datapad showing the leaked Aetheris files. "Who's the liar now?" Her chat exploded with:
