Chapter 489: Counterattack (Part 5)

"Previously, we didn’t know who those fools were, protesting in the streets and demanding the government deal with Kenny Lin."

"It wasn’t me."

"It wasn’t me either."

Major news websites were buzzing with discussions about this issue.

With the guidance of the Lin and Zhao families, the initial phase was very successful.

At least 70% of the public now believed that Kenny Lin was innocent.

The two families then released evidence of Diego Luna’s crimes against his companions.

Both he and Eduardo Norierga targeted people outside their immediate circles.

However, a few testimonies were not enough to be convincing.

Fortunately, the witnesses they found had photos of Diego Luna with the victims.

The victims’s families stated that they had been searching for Diego Luna for a long time, not knowing that he was already dead.

They were grateful to the "Demon Slayer" for avenging their sons.

The video was taken at the entrance of Heavenly Path University.

The families of Diego Luna and other students killed by the "Demon Slayer" had been kneeling at the university gates, pleading for the government to deliver a fair verdict and punish Kenny Lin, saving them the trouble of seeking justice themselves.

The Lin family arranged for the victims’s families to confront Diego Luna’s and the other students’s families, who were berated harshly.

On that day, Dahlia Luna, who had vehemently demanded Kenny Lin pay for her brother’s life, was too frightened to leave the school.

No one wanted to associate with her anymore.

The continuous release of evidence further proved Kenny Lin’s innocence and strengthened the argument.

Finally, the families released the testimony of Eduardo Norierga’s relatives.

Previously, the Yoder family had spread rumors that Eduardo Norierga’s family had been bribed.

No one believed that anymore.

Eduardo Norierga’s family also condemned the major websites, accusing them of being paid off, and firmly stated that the Lin family had not bribed them; they were voluntarily testifying.

With a multi-pronged approach, the Yoder family was now like a fish on a grill, repeatedly turned over the fire.

However, the final blow to the Yoder family was the military’s statement.

The statement revealed that they had repeatedly captured protest leaders and extracted useful information from them, ultimately linking the Yoder family to the orchestration, confirming the suspicions of many citizens.

Although the military did not provide concrete evidence, the public believed, as with the Yoder family’s previous schemes, that it was highly likely they were the one behind it.

He who hunts geese all day will eventually be pecked by a goose.

In one day, the situation completely reversed.

No matter how many paid commenters the Yoder family hired, they couldn’t salvage their reputation.

Raithwall Yoder’s anger and fury were his own problems.

In such a short time, reversing the situation again was impossible, especially since the military was involved.

The next day finally brought the Yoder family’s final judgment.

The public who is aware about this matter, began to pay attention.

Everyone wanted to know the outcome of the Yoder family, which had once dominated a significant portion of the artifact refining industry.

At the center of the storm, Amalia and Kenny Lin were still at the Spiritual Cultivators Association.

With Kenny Lin’s name cleared, there was no longer any need for him to stay at the association, but he refused to leave.

President Luis, hearing of this, personally came to inquire, fearing his people had offended Kenny Lin, causing his reluctance to leave.

"President Luis, don’t worry about him. He’s just being stubborn. We’re leaving now," Amalia said, giving Kenny Lin a sidelong glance in response to President Luis’s concerned inquiry.

"I’m not being stubborn," Kenny Lin protested.

President Luis noticed Kenny Lin’s reddened eyes, poorly concealed by a baseball cap, which didn’t escape his keen observation as a spiritual cultivator.

It certainly didn’t look like he was just being stubborn.

As if reading his thoughts, Amalia said, "Take off your hat and look everyone in the eye and say you’re fine."

Kenny Lin huffed but said nothing more.

"Thank you for your hospitality," Amalia said to President Luis, ignoring Kenny Lin.

The words sounded somewhat reversed, but those who knew the situation understood that the Spiritual Cultivators Association had actually been protecting Kenny Lin by orders.

President Luis shook his head, "You’re too polite, Amalia. I should be thanking you."

Kenny Lin mouthed two silent words, earning another glare from Amalia.

"Let’s go," Amalia said, decisively pulling him away from the Spiritual Cultivators Association.

"Where to?" Kenny Lin lazily asked from behind as she led him along.

"Back to the military district, and wait for the news," Amalia replied, still concerned about the outcome of the Yoder family’s sanctions.

At this point, the Yoder family’s punishment was inevitable.

The severity of the punishment might vary, but given the current situation, heavy sanctions by the Elder Council seemed certain.

Returning to the military district, Amalia headed straight to her home.

"Aren’t we supposed to wait for the news? My place would be faster," Kenny Lin suggested, his tone oddly suggestive, hinting at some influence he’d picked up.

"No mistake. Today, I need to transfer spiritual energy to Grandpa. It should have been done a couple of days ago," Amalia explained.

Amalia’s parents knew about Fernando Yoder’s poisoning which requiring periodic spiritual energy transfers.

Amalia’s mother had taken on this responsibility, knowing her daughter intended to handle it herself, and she volunteered.

Providing Fernando Yoder with daily energy suited her well since she didn’t need to leave the military district.

Her abundance of spiritual energy would otherwise go to waste.

Her spiritual energy allowing Fernando Yoder to endure for so long.

Recently, Amalia decided not to trouble her mother further.

She roped in Kenny Lin to expedite the process.

Fernando Yoder’s fragile meridians couldn’t handle too much spiritual energy at once, so the two of them worked slowly, taking over half an hour.

At that moment, Cassandra Lin arrived.

She was sent by the Lin family’s Head, to find them.
