Lord Protector Novel

Chapter 537

“What the hell! If that’s the case, things have just taken a drastic turn of events!”

“Nutel Entertainment? I have never heard of such a company before. Is it a credible source of information?”

“Me neither. It’s the first time I’ve heard of this Nutel Entertainment.”

“Have anyone come across any other major media’s official apology statement?”

“Not at the moment.”

“Tsk! Tsk! If that’s the case, I’m sure those from the Linton Group are the ones behind this. They are trying to divert the netizens’ attention.”

“Pffft! Seriously? They’re still trying to misrepresent the facts up until the very last moment when they should be apologizing for their actions? What a shameless bunch!”

Thus, the netizens got worked up once more. Nutel Entertainment became one of the targets of their witch-hunt as well. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

In fact, there were a lot of netizens that left their comments on the authorities’ social media accounts and demanded justice be served.

Out of the blue, the authorities’ social media accounts had been flooded with keyboard warriors’ comments.

Just when the netizens’ heated discussion rose to its peak, Nutel Entertainment released a footage.

Several representatives from several media companies that had covered the news in the early stages could be seen inside the footage. In the video, They showed up at Mr. Terence’s office and demanded their balance payment.

In return, Mr. Terence promised to pay them their balance payment as long as they refrained from covering the truth and allowed the fake news to stay on their website for another week.

In the end, the representatives from the media companies gave in to Mr. Terence’s request.

The footage went viral online instantly.

Obviously, the netizens’ minds were blown away by the footage.

Things took another drastic turn once more.

“What the heck! Have they no shame at all?”

“What a gang of unscrupulous media! It seems like they’re willing to do anything for money!”

“Damn it! They are supposed to take the public’s side and report the truth, but they’re doing the exact opposite! They are trying to deceive us instead! We can’t possibly allow such media companies to stay around!”

“Seriously? Nutel Entertainment seems like the role model of the media industry compared to the

shameless bunch.”

“I’ll only follow news published by Nutel Entertainment from today onwards. The other media companies should get lost as soon as possible.”

Obviously, the keyboard warriors weren’t going to let the shameless bunch off the hook easily. Once again, they bombarded the authorities’ social media account and reported the unscrupulous media companies.

There were a lot of netizens that left their comments at Nutel Entertainment and Linton Group’s websites to express their utmost apology as well.

Meanwhile, the unscrupulous media companies had to give in to the crowd due to the solid evidence published online.

As a matter of fact, the owners of said media companies had been summoned by the authorities. Hence, they had to publish an official apology statement and announce the truth over the night.

They had unanimously stated that the so-called victim was actually innocent, and the one who had tipped them off was the mastermind behind the incident instead. He was the one who had been pulling the strings behind the scenes all along.

The unscrupulous media companies were willing to forsake their receivables in order to salvage their companies’ reputations. After all, it would be over for them should the public boycott them.

Nevertheless, it seemed as though things had gotten to the point of no return. An apology statement wasn’t sufficient to turn the table.

Obviously, it was different because they had been forced to apologize. Hence, they seemed to be relatively insincere.

The crowd had lost faith in the said companies. They refused to forgive the said companies and express their support towards Nutel Entertainment instead.

In the end, Linton Group wasn’t the biggest beneficiary of the drama that had unfolded. Instead, it was Nutel Entertainment who had become the major beneficiary.

They had gained in terms of credibility and fame.

As a result, the fellow employees of Nutel Entertainment were overwhelmed because it had taken them years to expand the company to such an extent.

However, their newly appointed supervisor managed to pull off a seemingly unachievable feat within a few weeks of his appointment.

Undeniably, some people were born a natural leader.

Actually, Sharon was overwhelmed as well.

She was certain that if she had run into Zeke back in the day, her initial company wouldn’t have been on the verge of bankruptcy.

Meanwhile, Mr. Terence could no longer pull himself together because what he had gotten himself involved in wasn’t limited to ethical issues anymore.

As a matter of fact, he had gotten himself involved in a criminal offence.

Bribery and misrepresentation of facts were serious offences in legal terms.

However, he wasn’t afraid of the potential consequences that awaits him.

Instead, Zeke was the one Mr. Terence was afraid of because Zeke was the leader of Oakheart City’s underworld forces.

With that in mind, Mr. Terence tried to flee over the night as he was utterly horrified.

Unfortunately for him, several cars in black got in his way before he could even make his way out of Oakheart City.

Several men clad in black suits got out of the car and took Mr. Terence into custody immediately.

“Hello, we are from the National Security Bureau. You are now being suspected of endangering the nation’s wellbeing. Please come with us.”
