Rebirth: Super Banking System Chapter 2496 - 2334: Earth-Shattering News

Overflowing with frustration!

Heart filled with agony!

Pounding headache!

Slammed by a torrent of public backlash, the European Union abruptly finds itself as the prime target of universal scorn. Reuters broke the story, European press echoed it, and outlets worldwide jumped in with coverage.

"Why the hell is Reuters kicking up a fuss?"

"Shit."

"Those blasted Brits, causing chaos once more."

"Damn it."

"..."

Key member states could only mutter curses quietly. No one foresaw Reuters leaping into the fray like this. A British hand likely lurks behind the scenes.

For heaven's sake.

If Brexit is your choice, go ahead.

But stop stirring the pot.

Damn them.

This backstabbing at such a critical juncture leaves them utterly exposed and vulnerable.

Certain matters.

Can be pursued.

But hard to air publicly. Take Japan and South Korea—they boast democracy, autonomy, full control. Still, America grips them firmly.

Flipping the script?

Keep dreaming.

Currently.

The EU's penalties on Greece sparked this mess, demanding unwavering focus. Mishandle it, and EU stability hangs in the balance.

Greece departing? So be it.

However.

Eurozone crumbling, EU disintegrating—that spells true catastrophe.

At once.

A press briefing kicked off to dispel the rumors.

...

At the Press Conference.

Reporters worldwide swarmed in, eyes gleaming with thrill. The media thrives on massive scandals, never shying from enormity—only lamenting when it's too small.

Undeniably.

This EU fiasco.

Huge.

Sizzling hot.

Prime material for endless articles—they secretly wish for more EU blunders to fuel the hype. Yet odds seem slim.

It's the EU after all; one folly suffices, no need for repeats.

"Bet they'll brush it off lightly again."

"Sigh!"

"Dull."

"This buzz will fizzle out fast."

"Yeah."

"..."

Local European journalists itch to fan the flames but hesitate. Earning a buck here means avoiding EU wrath.

As for Reuters.

Sorry.

Different playbook.

At last.

The briefing commenced, led by the EU's official mouthpiece. Twist: the deputy took the podium this time.

Still.

No matter, just standard denials to bore everyone stiff.

Yet.

Reality diverged quickly from expectations. Initial queries got rote replies, nothing fresh.

But.

From the third question onward... chaos erupted.

"Excuse me."

"Given the harsh financial penalties on Greece hurting ordinary folks so much, will the EU halt them?"

"No."

The spokesperson stood resolute.

"Debts must be repaid—that's basic fairness. We're simply enforcing our legitimate rights to protect all EU lenders' stakes."

"Borrowing brings glee."

"Repaying sparks evasion and fights."

"Unacceptable."

"Hmph."

"They need to grasp the grave fallout of dodging repayment. After all these EU loans, ignoring it now? No way."

"Penalties."

"Penalties are essential."

"..."

Down in the crowd.

Journalists' eyes sparked like bulbs igniting.

Awesome.

What a bombshell answer. Everyone figured the EU might ease up to soothe tensions, but nope—escalation loomed.

Exhilarating!

Headline gold!

Still.

Senior EU figures sat stunned.

What the—?

Penalties?

Screw that, the script called for showcasing EU grace, mercy, dialing sanctions back to prior levels—what's this madness?

Then.

The pitch abruptly flipped.

"That said."

"Acknowledging Greece's real struggles, we agree current penalties inflict heavy damage, so after deliberation, we'll revert to earlier levels."

"..."

Hearing that.

Reporters sensed the odd pivot; quite the whiplash.

Of course.

EU insiders caught it too. Outcome matches, but the theatrics? Media spin awaits.

Just now, they'd been dressed down like inferiors.

Followed by.

A backpedal apology.

Admitting the rant was off, begging patience—leaves a bitter aftertaste. Urge to yank this fool offstage burned, but mid-event swap invites wild headlines.

Grit teeth.

Onward, pray for calm.

But.

Next query: "Does the EU wield excessive power?"

That hit.

The spokesperson bristled like a cat with its tail yanked.

"Excessive?"

"Impossible."

"Quite the opposite."

"The EU needs even greater authority. Like with Greece, strong tools prevent debt dodges."

"Without them."

"Debt shirking everywhere—how survives the Eurozone?"

"Today."

"One Greece; tomorrow two, then three? No repayments, EU powerless."

"Can't have that."

"Hence."

"More authority propels the EU forward."

"..."

In the audience.

Folks nearly lunged onstage; this 'clarification' screamed 'bash us harder.' Felt like a total blackout.

Oh God.

Medicine needed.

Reporters buzzed like they'd chugged energy shots, hands shaking in glee.

Yet.

Stage tone twisted anew.

"Naturally."

"Viewed now, EU power in certain areas is overly broad, requiring curbs—details pending discussion."

"..."

EU hearts skipped beats.

In essence.

Quit the drama? Just state the line and quit. Rollercoaster ride—this one's fired on sight back home.

Argh!

No.

Maybe retain a bit longer, lest media twists sharpen. Key media hooks now covered.

No further shocks expected.

"What's the EU's take on UK Brexit?" Reuters reporter probed.

"We support it."

Said the spokesperson.

"Pfft!"

Crowd below choked on blood nearly.

"Hold up."

"Remove him now." EU external press chief envisioned doom; that line nuked his future.

Disaster!

UK Brexit simmers hot, EU's position neutral—watching patiently.

But now.

Suddenly endorsed outright.

Good lord!

Almighty!

Save us!

Why this torment?

Official EU briefing equals official stance globally. Flat-out backing Brexit.

Earth-shattering.

So.

Security whisked the spokesperson away.

...

The whole spectacle.

Lensed perfectly by press cams; reporters fought grins, faces beaming like hefty kids at candy.

Blockbuster.

This scoop explodes worldwide!
