At 9 a.m., just one day after the press conference in Dawn City, the long-silent Ains finally moved into action.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters unexpectedly held a press conference without any prior notice.
All reporters were informed only half an hour in advance, leading to more than one-third of journalists and media personnel failing to arrive onsite due to traffic jams and other reasons.
This time, however, the person hosting the conference was not the frequently featured spokesperson of the FBI, but the rarely-seen Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The content of the press conference was simple: the Director stated they were already aware of the matter concerning the Order Church. The FBI would not tolerate the presence of any cult organizations within the church, and an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the Order Church had already commenced.
