Whenever anyone ntioned Kenny Lin’s achievents, trolls would imdiately jump in, with dozens of them attacking the comnter and forcing them into retreat.
The narrative quickly swung back in their favor.
Amalia also opened several of the largest Fruit Country spiritual cultivator websites and found that all the hottest threads on every channel were flooded with discussions about Kenny Lin’s situation.
She opened one of the posts, where the pinned video was, unsurprisingly, of Kenny Lin’s statent.
Below it, countless comnts were already stacking up.
"Children of powerful families really are different; they kill and still act so arrogant."
"Of course, he’s from the Lin family. Killing an ordinary person is nothing to them."
"He could probably kill a high-ranking governnt official and still not face any criminal charges."
"No one would let the greatest genius in a thousand years from the Lin family pay with his life for the death of a common person. Not even the governnt would agree to that."
"Does this an that us ordinary people have no way out in this world? Are we just out of luck if we get killed by soone from a powerful family?"
"Bla yourself for not having a powerful father."
"Kenny Lin dares to be this arrogant because of his father, one of the top experts in Fruit Country."
"Watch your words about his father; he has been guarding Fruit Country’s Fruit City No. 1 for decades, stopping countless invasions by mutant creatures."
"Talk about Kenny Lin all you want, but be careful what you say about his father."
Those two comnters fell silent instantly.
"Why talk only about Kenny Lin? Hasn’t he also paid a price to protect humanity? Not long ago, Fruit City No. 1 was attacked by multiple high-level mutants. If it wasn’t for Kenny Lin, the city would have suffered heavy casualties."
"He may have defended humanity, but that doesn’t give him the right to kill randomly. Does that an I can also go defend humanity and then kill everyone I dislike?"
"Exactly, who gave him the right to kill without consequences? Was it the governnt? If that’s true, I’m very disappointed."
"This isn’t the 20th century anymore; the concept of everyone being equal is just sothing they say to sound good. Do you really believe the slogans the governnt puts out? You naïve fools."
"Stop twisting words around. If you have the skill, earn the rank of major general like Kenny Lin without needing the governnt to grant you any special privileges. I believe him. He didn’t kill Diego Luna for no reason; there’s sothing unknown going on here that will eventually co to light."
"The comnter above must be Kenny Lin’s shill."
"You know who the shill is; just wait and see, you’ll be proven wrong."
"Wow, so confident about Kenny Lin, huh?"
Amalia closed the post as her communicator chid.
She thought it was hers.
Amalia turned her head and noticed that the voice ca from Kenny Lin, who was lounging on the couch in a relaxed manner.
Kenny Lin glanced at his communicator and sat up lazily.
As he opened the communicator, the authoritative image of the Lin family head appeared on the floor-to-ceiling holographic screen, as if the person was standing right in front of him.
"What’s the deal with the video online? Were you set up?"
The Lin family head frowned, his imposing deanor growing stronger.
However, this had no effect on Kenny Lin.
Amalia walked over, "Mr. Lin..."
Kenny Lin interrupted her, "Call him big brother."
The Lin family head agreed, "Yes, just call big brother like Kenny’s; it sounds better."
Amalia said, "...Big brother."
"Good." The Lin family head smiled and nodded, but his expression quickly turned serious again, "What’s going on?"
Amalia explained for Kenny Lin, "It was Diego Luna’s sister. I suspect she was placed in Heavenly Path University by the Yoder family. This is just their first move; there should be more plans to follow."
"With Raihtwall Yoder’s tactics, he wouldn’t stop at just one move. His urgency may also be related to the Yoder family being summoned by the Elders’s Council," the Lin family head said thoughtfully.
"Elders’s Council?"
Amalia heard the term for the first ti.
Kenny Lin said lazily from the side, "It’s the highest decision-making body in the governnt of Fruit Country, consisting only of spirit cultivators, no ordinary humans."
The Lin family head continued, "That’s right. This ti, the Yoder family made a big mistake in No. 2 City, causing a Tier 1 expert from the Zhao family to die. The Zhao family will not let the Yoder family off easily, which led to the summons."
"If the Yoder family cannot provide a satisfactory response, the Elders’s Council will impose sanctions on them to appease the Zhao family’s anger."
"How does stirring up trouble with Kenny Lin help the Yoder family?" Amalia asked.
"Troubling Kenny would inevitably divert the Lin family’s focus. Who benefits the most from the Yoder family being sanctioned? None other than the Lin family. The Yoder family doesn’t want to give the Lin family an opportunity to align with the Zhao family against them.
"There are many complex relationships and interests involved here, which cannot be explained quickly."
Amalia didn’t ask further as it would lead to more entanglents, "Given how big this issue has beco, will Kenny be in trouble?"
The Lin family head sneered, "As long as the Lin family is around, they won’t touch a hair on Kenny’s head. However, he may have to pay a price before the investigation is complete."
Amalia’s heart tightened, "What kind of price?"
Seeing her expression change, the Lin family head laughed, "Don’t worry, it’s nothing major. He’ll just have his freedom restricted and undergo investigation. With the old man around, they wouldn’t dare do anything to Kenny. Even if they take him away, they’ll have to treat him with the utmost respect."
"Does he really need to be taken away for investigation?"
"He has to. Initially, when the matter wasn’t so big, there was room for negotiation, but now that it’s escalated, the governnt has no choice. They have to make a gesture to show the public they’re taking action."
As he said this, the Lin family head’s expression grew more serious.
"The central disaster area is becoming increasingly unstable and may erupt into a larger catastrophe at any ti. If the public isn’t properly reassured, and soone manipulates the situation, it could cause a chain reaction. In the worst-case scenario, Fruit Country could descend into chaos."
