Chapter 486: Counterattack (Part 2)

However, this situation lasted less than a day before a new wave of the Yoder family’s supporters overwhelmed the forums again.

A fresh piece of gossip rapidly replaced the old content and becoming the new hot topic.

"Little Aunt, look at this," Cassandra Lin said one day as she rushed to the courtyard of Amalia’s parents’ house.

Her casual greeting drew the attention of everyone present, especially three serious pairs of eyes.

Realizing her mistake, Cassandra Lin quickly corrected herself, "Amalia, check out the forum. The Yoder family has made a new move."

Amalia didn’t bother to correct her form of address again.

She had noticed that the Lin family members had a talent for not listening to other prople, no matter how many times she corrected them.

They would repeat the mistake the next time they met.

She opened the forum Cassandra Lin had mentioned.

Raithwall Yoder, anticipating that Eduardo Norierga’s family was in their hands, decided to make a move first.

The new posts claimed that Eduardo Norierga’s family had been captured by certain ill-intentioned individuals.

These ordinary people couldn’t stand up against their captors and were coerced into saying things against their will.

Some people pointing it out to the Lin family.

A group of paid commenters followed up, stirring up trouble and suggesting that it must have been Kenny Lin’s family or friends behind it.

They’re steering public opinion in that direction.

Those who didn’t know the full story were led astray by them.

Occasionally, a few clear-headed individuals spoke up, but they were quickly drowned out by the overwhelming tide of paid commenters.

Due to this uproar, Eduardo Norierga’s family could no longer serve as key witnesses.

The public had already been convinced that they were coerced, rendering their statements ineffective and unconvincing.

"The Yoder family is really cunning, using such underhanded tactics," Cassandra Lin said angrily.

"When haven’t the Yoder family used underhanded tactics?" Amalia calmly replied.

Cassandra Lin asked, "Why are you not surprised at all?"

Amalia responded, "What we can think of, Raithwall Yoder can think of too. He would definitely consider how to render our leverage useless, but he doesn’t know that Ángel Solana is still alive."

"That’s right, we still have Ángel Solana," Cassandra Lin said, her anger immediately dissapear.

They still had a more credible piece of evidence.

"So stay calm. However, we should give the Yoder family some reaction. If we remain too calm, it might make Raithwall Yoder suspicious," Amalia pondered aloud.

Cassandra Lin nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll handle it."

"No one else is really suitable; it doesn’t fit their personalities. It’s good you’re taking care of it," Amalia said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Cassandra Lin hurriedly left.

She felt she had to leave quickly before she ended up with a few more holes in her.

The gazes from Amalia’s three elders were too intimidating.

The tension between the Yoder family and the Lin family had reached its peak.

The letters requesting the government to intervene were pouring into the headquarters, with more and more people adding their signatures.

The government and military had yet to provide a significant response, leading to rumors of inaction spreading.

At the same time, the sanctions against the Yoder family were being put on the agenda.

It was said that the Yoder family had hired the best lawyers in the country to defend themselves.

The exact outcome would depend on the proceedings, and the pressure on the government and military was quite big.

One day, on her way back, Amalia encountered Zanilia Zhao.

It was the first time they had met since that day in Fruit City No. 1.

Zanilia Zhao looked haggard, but her gentle and elegant temperament is more sharper than before.

After inquiring, Amalia learned that the deceased Tier 1 spiritual cultivator from the Zhao family was Zanilia Zhao’s uncle.

Her relationship with Tio Zhao was almost as close as with her father, the Zhao family’s Head.

"My condolences," Amalia said, she’s not skilled at offering comfort beyond those two words.

Zanilia Zhao forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern."

As they were about to pass each other, Zanilia Zhao suddenly asked, "When are you planning to make your move against the Yoder family and solved Kenny Lin problem?"

Amalia turned back, surprised.

Zanilia Zhao smiled, "You all are not the type to sit idly by. You must have prepared a counterattack. I want to know, when will you act?"

Amalia understood the implication in her words, "You want us to coorperate?"

This time, Zanilia Zhao smiled sincerely, "It’s always beneficial to talk to smart people. If possible, I want the Yoder family to pay a bloody price in this sanction."

"Okay," Amalia responded without much hesitation.

"Don’t you need to discuss it with others?" Zanilia Zhao thought she might say she’d consider it.

"There’s no need for that. Why wouldn’t we agree to something that mutually beneficial?" Amalia countered.

Zanilia Zhao smiled, "Alright, we’ll stay in touch regarding the specifics."

Amalia nodded her head.

When she returned, she informed the Lin family’s Head and the others about her agreement with Zanilia Zhao.

They had no objections.

Teaming up with the Zhao family to take down the Yoder family was a great deal.

They all began to wait.

In order to pressure the government and military into responding quickly, the Yoder family escalated the situation online.

The protests even started appearing on the streets of the royal durian capital city.

To handle the protesters, the military deployed troops, arresting several leaders and interrogating them to uncover the masterminds.

Of course, the Yoder family wouldn’t send their own people, avoiding giving the military and government any direct evidence against them.

However, it became clear that someone was orchestrating the protests from behind the scenes.

After some discussion, the top brass in the military decided not to disclose this evidence for the time being.

It was futile; the public only believed what they "saw."

Most people wouldn’t consider any hidden secrets or ulterior motives behind it.

Additionally, as soon as the Yoder family’s paid commenters started stirring the pot, the public opinion would shift immediately, and showing little integrity or credibility.

All evidence was carefully buried, like the calm before a storm.
