Trevor answered, "Yes, but when an actor says they did research, it means he opened his computer, googled a few names, and then jerked off."
Eddie was taken aback by this response, not expecting such a ridiculous answer from him.
"So, you don't really understand the backstory of the Mandarin character you portrayed," Eddie clarified.
Trevor nodded again and added, "But I studied Western religious studies and terrorism. At least in the eyes of the public, my portrayal fit the image of a terrorist organization."
Eddie said, "However, isn't there a chance that your performance might have angered some people? You know, some of them are very dangerous."
Eddie knew from Charles that the Ten Rings was a real organization, and their mission was to use Trevor to lure them out.
Trevor, nonchalant, replied, "You don't need to tell me, brother. I've read those online forums... they're brutal."
Trevor clearly didn't realize that the people who might come after him were the actual Ten Rings.
Eddie glanced at Aburame Shino, who nodded slightly.
Eddie then stood up from his chair and said, "Well, enjoy the rest of your life here, Mr. Actor. I hope you won't regret your actions."
He then turned to the prison guard and said, "The interview is over. You can take him back now."
The guard grabbed Trevor and escorted him back to his cell.
As Eddie packed up his equipment, he remarked, "When the public finds out how the Mandarin was created, they'll be quite shocked."
Shino, with a cold voice, said, "A new hot topic will soon divert their attention. This won't hold their interest for long."
Eddie shrugged, "True, the terrorist attack now is over."
As they left the prison, Eddie asked Shino, "Have you set up the tracker?"
Shino held up a finger, showing a kikaichū bug on it.
"I've already had a kikaichū enter his body. It will live in his fat layer and continuously report his location to me."
During Eddie's interview, Shino had discreetly released the kikaichū, which had pain-numbing properties in its bite, making it undetectable to Trevor.
Eddie, looking at the bug and thinking about the many bugs inside Shino's coat, shivered. "Well, since the task is done, I'll take my leave."
Shino asked, "Not heading back to the base?"
Eddie shook his head, "No, I need to get back and edit this footage. This is still my interview."
Shino waved and then turned to walk away.
Eddie mounted his bike and rode off into the distance.

Meanwhile-
In Charles's base-
Charles was preparing for another blessing ritual, as some time had passed and he was eligible for another blessing. Once the ritual items and the magic circle were ready, he began his prayer.
With this, the feeling of being blessed filled him, and Charles immediately entered the system space without delay.
Once inside the system space, Charles went straight to the recruitment interface and began the ninja recruitment.
"Ninja Recruitment, ten consecutive draw, begin!" A Uzumaki clan symbol appeared, glowing with a unique light. After a flash of light, the recruitment results appeared before Charles Doyle.
Without taking time to tally or check, Charles continued with another ten pulls while the blessing lasted. He successfully performed five ten-pull recruitments under the blessed state. Once the recruitment ended, the blessed state faded.
With the blessing gone, Charles relaxed and prepared to check the results of the fifty consecutive pulls to see if he had completed the collections for Konan and Zetsu. He wasn't expecting to get S-Rank Orochimaru yet.
S-Rank: Orochimaru – 30 fragments from 10 recruitments.
A-Rank: Konan – 8 fragments from 2 recruitments; Zetsu – 8 fragments from 2 recruitments.
B-Rank: Shippuden Naruto Uzumaki – 2 fragments from 1 recruitment; Shippuden Sakura Haruno – 6 fragments from 3 recruitments; Shippuden Sasuke Uchiha – 6 fragments from 3 recruitments; Shippuden Neji Hyuga – 10 fragments from 5 recruitments; Guren – 8 fragments from 4 recruitments.
C-Rank: Hanabi Hyuga – 1 fragment from 1 recruitment; Young Killer Bee – 4 fragments from 4 recruitments; Ino Yamanaka – 1 fragment from 1 recruitment; Ninja Academy Naruto Uzumaki – 1 fragment from 1 recruitment; Karui – 1 fragment from 1 recruitment; Hayate Gekkō – 3 fragments from 3 recruitments; Shino Aburame – 1 fragment from 1 recruitment; Maru Hoshigaki – 2 fragments from 2 recruitments; Naruto Uzumaki – 3 fragments from 3 recruitments; Sakura Haruno – 1 fragment from 1 recruitment; Iruka Umino – 1 fragment from 1 recruitment; Shizune – 2 fragments from 2 recruitments; Sasuke Uchiha – 1 fragment from 1 recruitment; Tenten – 1 fragment from 1 recruitment.
Charles was stunned to see that neither Konan nor Zetsu was fully collected; each was missing 4 fragments.
Additionally, none of the B-Rank or C-Rank ninjas had reached full cards. While he had acquired many fragments, the lack of complete ninjas was a bit disappointing, especially considering his upcoming plans against the Ten Rings.
Determined to enhance his strength and team, Charles decided to use the remaining 58 ninja recruitment scrolls to continue.
First ten-pull: One guaranteed S-Rank Orochimaru fragment.
Second ten-pull: One guaranteed S-Rank Orochimaru fragment.
Third ten-pull: One guaranteed S-Rank Orochimaru fragment, four A-Rank Konan fragments.
Fourth ten-pull: Four S-Rank Orochimaru fragments.
Fifth ten-pull: One guaranteed S-Rank Orochimaru fragment, four A-Rank Zetsu fragments.
After five more ten-pulls, he finally completed the collections for A-Rank Konan and Zetsu. His ninja recruitment scrolls were now down to 8, but he had also accumulated many B-Rank and C-Rank fragments, including enough to recruit Young Killer Bee.
Opening the recruitment menu, three highlighted avatars appeared: Konan, Zetsu, and Young Killer Bee.
