I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 765 - 519 Preparation for Retaliation

"This is shameless! How can people be so brazen?"

"Can't you people get proper jobs? Aren't you afraid that for doing this, your ancestral graves will spew green smoke and your ancestors will climb out to beat you to death?"

In contrast, the group of internet celebrities, facing the collective condemnation of the residents, showed not a hint of fear or remorse. Instead, they intensified their efforts, surrounding Xia Liang and bombarding him with all sorts of questions.

Initially, these internet celebrities had grown weary, but under the siege of so many residents, they became excited one after another, as if injected with adrenaline.

Xia Liang, standing in the middle of the crowd, had said only a single sentence before falling silent again.

The onlookers, witnessing this scene, grew even angrier.

"I have a proposal! Since these internet celebrities dare to bully someone so openly, we should upload their actions online and let the public be the judge!" one resident suggested.

Her proposal was met with widespread approval. Immediately, numerous residents took out their phones. They started taking photos and videos, exposing the shameless actions of these internet celebrities online.

In no time, videos and photos of Xia Liang being surrounded by internet celebrities downstairs rapidly appeared on the internet.

Countless viewers, after seeing these videos and photos, became incredibly angry. After all, most of them were rational. They might be fans, but they weren't blind followers. Their admiration for Xia Liang stemmed partly from his handsome appearance and kind heart, but also because he used his incredible magic to help and save one life after another.

But now, seeing Xia Liang trapped by internet celebrities in the real world, looking so lonely and helpless—how could they possibly tolerate it?

Various media outlets and online platforms began to fill with voices condemning the internet celebrities.

"We can't let our hero shed blood only to shed tears later! We can't embolden the shameless acts of these internet celebrities."

"This is despicable! How could they do this? God Xia represents the positive energy our society needs! He's a hero in the people's hearts! How could they do this to him?"

"Boycott these internet celebrities! Everyone, go to their live streams and confront them!"

"Report these shameless internet celebrities so our hero can live in peace."

"If we don't stand up now, we'll chill God Xia's heart. Will he still be willing to extend a helping hand to those in need in the future?"

"Don't be afraid! It's time for everyone to stand up!"

At the same time, Dragon Country's official Weibo account responded promptly.

Dragon Country's official Weibo: Heroes deserve respect and care, not to be endlessly exploited for profit!

Although it was just a short sentence, the power it conveyed was immense.

Simultaneously, in Qingyun City, Yun Long received a phone call. His expression became incredibly serious, and he summoned all his detectives for a meeting.

"Comrades, you've probably all seen the videos online. It's time for us to stand up and do something for Qingyun City's hero—for our bureau's hero. As for these internet celebrities, while we can't be violent, we can certainly charge them with disrupting public order and detain them for ten to fifteen days!"

"All right, everyone gear up and move out!"

Immediately, the entire Qingyun City police force sprang into action. Sirens wailed and lights flashed as police cars poured out of the station.

Meanwhile, at the eye of the storm, Xia Liang observed the internet celebrities' behavior and sighed inwardly. These people are beyond saving. Since they won't heed my warnings and act so lawlessly, there's no need for me to be polite anymore.

Just then, a digital sound echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for triggering a hidden mission.

Mission: Punish these shameless internet celebrities. Make them learn their lesson, reform their ways, and confront the evil consequences born from their desires.

Mission Reward: 100 Work Points, Magic Props - Wishing Hat]

Hearing the voice in his mind, Xia Liang's lips slowly curved into a smile.

Just what I wanted.

A cold glint flashed in Xia Liang's eyes. After purchasing something from the System's shop, he cleared his throat.

"Could everyone please quiet down and listen to me for a moment?"

Xia Liang waited for the noise from the group of internet celebrities to subside before he finally spoke again. Perhaps they were tired, or maybe they thought Xia Liang was finally about to cave. Whatever the reason, they unanimously fell silent, their eyes all fixed on him.

"Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. No one can stop you, including me," Xia Liang began. "You came here and found me simply because you want to gain traffic and attention from me. But do you really think that just by cornering me here and live-streaming me, you'll gain a huge amount of traffic?"

He pointed to himself. "The audience likes me, and it's not just because I'm handsome—though my looks probably account for half of it. What the viewers really want to see is my magic. Wouldn't you agree?"

Upon hearing his words, the internet celebrities exchanged knowing smiles. The Magician is finally giving in! Our siege worked!

"Yes, yes, that's right! Magician, just perform a magic trick, and we'll let you go!"

"Exactly! Don't let us have come here for nothing!"
