BEU | Chapter 2.1

The news 4b01e150ea that Philip 605a5e2a80 had agreed 806035fdb6 to sponsor 5d9c88d681 the Black 9a19b92280 Code spread 8699777bcd like wildfire.6dff128bbe88fb6f

Even before he could stand in court, the court staff were already whispering about it. Yet, Philip questioned Rowald, “Why are you telling me to come in so early when we’re not even starting right away?”69c10eab0c772bad

Rowald seemed to have given up on explaining, shuffling the same documents repeatedly, and the other hired lawyers weren’t much different. They just wanted the case to wrap up quickly, career be damned. Then they could spend time with their beloved families without worrying about ambition or money!f6c981b83e27a692

As if the gods heard their wishes, the trial began sooner than expected. This precarious journey ended with a sentence of 2,500 hours of community service at BCS. Considering what he did, the ‘community service’ was a lenient sentence.9b87fbf53a6e747b

But it wasn’t just any community service; it was 2,500 hours at BCS. To the public, BCS was more a source of fear than curiosity, so even the outraged public was somewhat satisfied with the verdict.cd7e3ab972831b01

Though called a shelter, it was essentially a prison teeming with unknown beings—aliens. However, Philip, leaving the courtroom, smiled like a child expecting a picnic and said, “I’m looking forward to it.”37bb4a35233eec42

A reporter, unable to hold back, gripped the microphone tightly and asked, “You might be staying with the Black Code, and you’re really looking forward to it?”aa9b66c48201358b

Philip glanced at the Metasequoia trees and replied, “I haven’t even seen their faces yet, so I couldn’t show off. Now I can, so of course, I’m excited.”547021176d3fe9a3

His words were annoying, but it wasn’t fake confidence. Occasionally checking his watch, he instructed his assistant, “Contact them to prepare everything so I can start as soon as I get in.” If it was an act, it was impressive in its own right. He was an extraordinary man in many ways.7f79bab695657da4

Philip reappeared before the public on the day he was to enter the shelter. He delayed so much that he boarded his private jet late in the afternoon. Even just before boarding, he was sent off by a crowd that wasn’t exactly there to see him off.71b1a455b6113812

Upon arriving at the 244830945e BCS-owned airfield, employees in 09e4b1cadc white suits surrounded Philip d21170918e like a flood. What was all this 99d36925da fuss in the early 01077fe96c evening?46da423505eca118

How could he be bothered by a design when entering a shelter? Alex was both dumbfounded and subtly overwhelmed by Philip’s composure. Infinite capital, economic freedom, and all that.608c9d4e73298b63

Indeed, even a rough estimate showed that the amount Philip invested in the shelter ‘for fun’ was substantial. Enough to repaint the existing shelter vehicles and still have money left over after replacing them entirely.e32983c285c80d02

The shelter building he c055545184 graciously approved of was 9c7e9033a5 massive at a glance. Like the 9a862921d6 stage of 70d0b21d60 a famous d1c8babc1a pop singer, f4e3af4434 the large 3df21d2fb8 shelter building 7e4a296673 had a 5a3bfe3b25 dome-shaped ceiling, 4550b54e28 resembling a 487182e341 research facility.3cdf4aa7202c82d6
