Chapter 468: Exposed (Part 3)
"We are just ordinary people, unlike you, who come from aristocrat families with powerful backers. Perhaps you have the ability to turn white into black, but we will seek justice for Diego."
The two of them spoke back and forth, creating a narrative of a vulnerable minority that immediately gained the sympathy of many onlookers.
Some began to think Amalia and Kenny Lin were going too far.
Yes, after all, the man did die at Kenny Lin’s hands.
No matter how you look at it, he must have done something wrong.
Others commented that Kenny Lin was abusing his family background to bully the weak.
"You people are even more ignorant. You’ve known each other for years and still haven’t seen his true nature."
This time, Amalia was also "impressed" that the other side never exposed their true colors even in death.
However, this was also related to the fact that Diego Luna’s targets were not their own classmates.
Penélope Cruz and Paco Rabanne were taken aback for a moment, then their faces turned pale with anger. "It’s not up to you to decide whether we’re ignorant or not. We believe what we see with our own eyes. He killed Diego Luna, and that’s a fact!"
"You are just like him, of course, you would speak up for him."
Amalia furrowed her brows, she about to speak when an arm reached out in front of her, stopping her to speaking.
She turned around and saw Kenny Lin’s stern profile with a faint cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Even if I am the Demon Slayer, so what?"
"Even if I killed Diego Luna, so what?"
Kenny Lin’s cold and icy voice echoed in the air, causing the surroundings to fall silent.
Everyone stared at his icy, frost-covered handsome face in disbelief, unable to believe that he would admit to being the Demon Slayer and also confess to killing Diego Luna.
"It really is you! You did kill my brother! You have to pay for my brother’s life!"
Diego Luna’s sister let out a sharp scream, her voice hoarse and frantic.
The male classmates beside her quickly held her back, as if afraid she would rush toward Kenny Lin and get killed.
"You finally admit that you killed Diego!"
Paco Rabanne, after recovering from her shock, glared at Kenny Lin with bloodshot eyes.
She had liked Diego Luna and had planned to confess her feelings to him after graduation.
But when she saw him again, he was already a cold corpse.
"Everyone heard it! Kenny Lin admitted he killed Diego and that he’s the Demon Slayer!"
Penélope Cruz shouted, pulling the crowd out of their daze and back into reality.
The dead silence in the air suddenly erupted into a wave of murmurs.
"I can’t believe it! Kenny Lin is the Demon Slayer."
"Even harder to believe that he killed Diego Luna."
The students who spoke looked conflicted.
"I still can’t believe it. Maybe, as Amalia said, Diego Luna did have problems?"
"Wake up, fanboys and fangirls! If Diego Luna had problems, why would all his classmates from the same year defend him?"
"Right, even if someone wants to fake being good, they can’t go years without slipping up. Everyone who gets into Heavenly Path University isn’t stupid."
"But Kenny Lin doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would kill innocent people."
"Ha! How many of you have actually spent time with him?"
"Kenny Lin always keeps to himself. What you’ve seen is just his facade; he doesn’t need to pretend all the time in front of you."
"Agreed. Who knows what he’s like in private?"
"Let’s see what the Lin family says about this."
"A big family like theirs wouldn’t allow this kind of scandal to exist, right? They’ll definitely help Kenny Lin whitewash his image with fake testimony," someone sneered.
"The Lin family is powerful, and there’s no way Diego Luna’s family can stand up to them. They will be pressured to stop pursuing Diego Luna’s death."
"Everyone, shut up! I don’t believe Diego Luna was innocent. I believe Kenny Lin isn’t that kind of person."
The girl’s voice was loud, startling the two male students who had been mocking Kenny Lin.
Just as they were about to retaliate, one of them recognized the girl as Sister Hermosa and quickly held back the other student.
"Don’t say anything. She’s Sister Hermosa."
Upon hearing this, the male student immediately closed his mouth.
Amalia saw the girl and didn’t recognize her at first.
But when the male student called her Sister Hermosa, she remembered.
Amalia’s previous incident with Sebastian Caceres had been widely discussed on the forum, and this girl had spoken up in her defense.
The girl seemed to notice Amalia’s gaze and looked over.
Amalia nodded her thanks.
The girl smiled instantly and mouthed something silently.
Amalia, who understood lip-reading, gave a small cough.
This senior’s tastes were indeed unique.
"Who are you smiling at?"
Noticing Amalia’s interaction with Bonito Hermosa, Kenny Lin expressed his disapproval.
Amalia was surprised that he had the presence of mind to notice her small gestures, showing no signs of being affected by the rumors.
She thought to herself that his resilience to drama was truly remarkable.
"Someone was speaking up for you. It’s only polite to thank them."
Amalia lowered her voice to explain, hoping to avoid a public argument.
Upon hearing it was for his benefit, Kenny Lin’s expression immediately brightened like a blooming spring.
His inappropriate happiness was like a thorn in the eyes of Diego Luna’s family, friends, and classmates.
How could he smile like that after killing someone?
"Kenny Lin!"
Diego Luna’s sister, Dahlia Luna, glared at him with hatred in her eyes.
"Even though you belong to the Lin family, I won’t give up! If the school doesn’t give me justice, I’ll take it to the government and fight until someone brings justice for my brother!"
Kenny Lin curled his lips and looked at her with cold eyes, "I hope you follow through with your promise and don’t suddenly give up in the end."
