"You can spread rumors with your mouth, but you will lose your legs if you refute them."
"Luca, just play your game normally. Once you win the championship, the fans you've built up will clear things up for you."
"The other party is just a player; they can't bribe reporters and media like that many times."
“But…” Luca was still worried.
Those distorted facts did indeed cause him psychological harm.
Chapter 988 You don’t follow martial ethics!
Camille said anxiously:
"Let me find someone to dispel the rumors first..."
"But the speed of debunking rumors can never keep up with the speed of spreading them. That guy probably wants to take advantage of this and drown Luca in the media storm."
"It doesn't matter anyway." Yan Huan was quite calm in comparison.
"This is a martial arts ritual, not a Bagua ritual."
"Those voices online won't help his ridiculous ancient martial arts."
“The CEO is right.” Luca gradually calmed down.
"Although it's a bit of a headache, it doesn't really matter."
"As long as I defeat Shuojin fairly and squarely on the field, the audience will naturally know that everything he said was a lie."
However, Camille, who is herself a media professional, still expressed concern.
“Luca, Mr. Yan Huan, things may not go as smoothly as you think.”
"Once a negative impression is formed, it's not so easy to recover..."
"What could possibly form from this?" Yan Huan remained calm.
"Topa is also in the newspapers. If she doesn't want to be known as an unscrupulous and evil capitalist, she will definitely come forward to clarify."
"That 'Little Shuojin,' do you think he can use public opinion to defeat the company's senior management?"
Upon hearing this, Luca immediately calmed down.
"That's right, the newspaper wrote it like that, obviously dragging Miss Topa into it too."
"Then there's no rush."
Luca looked at Camille.
"Alright, Miss Camille, don't be so pessimistic."
"I believe everything will be alright!"
Coca-Cola remained frowning.
As a journalist, she naturally knows just how shameless someone can be when they want to smear another.
"Okay, I'm going out for some fresh air. You guys chat."
Luca said goodbye to the two men, opened the door, and walked out.
……
The deck of the Jingfeng warship was bustling with noise.
As soon as Luca stepped out, he noticed many eyes staring at him and whispering among themselves.
"Look, isn't that Luca?"
"It really is Luca... I used to be a fan of his!"
"Haha, now liking Luca is your [criminal record]!"
Although they tried to keep their voices down, Luca still managed to catch the gist of it.
Are they... talking about me?
Luca looked at the nearest people.
"...He's looking over here! Don't shout!"
"So what? You dare to do it but not admit it?!"
"Tch, I didn't expect Luca to be this kind of person."
"The truth has been revealed, okay?"
"I knew he wasn't a good person all along."
Luca wandered around silently, while the surrounding chatter grew louder and louder.
"Look, isn't that Luca?"
"He seems like a cheerful young man, but what's going on behind my back..."
"I don't think he's bad, he's just plain stupid!"
"He comes from a small place and has a martial arts background, so his education level is probably not very high."
"Stupid is evil! What's the difference between the two?"
Upon hearing this, Luca quickly walked to the right and frowned at the two people who were staring at him sideways, saying:
"My two friends, have I offended you? Is it necessary to say such harsh things?"
The two men gave Luca a disdainful look.
"Tch, you idiot."
He then quickly turned and left.
Seeing this, Luca couldn't help but start walking and chase after the two.
"Don't go! Let's talk this over. I can explain!"
The surrounding chatter continued.
"Luca? I think he should just withdraw from the competition."
"Hey, isn't that Luca? I just got here, and he dares to go out like this?"
Have you heard about that?
"I've heard about it, but I never expected it..."
As Luca chased after them, he suddenly froze, as more and more people gathered around him.
"Why is everyone talking about me... What did I do wrong?"
The murmurs were like demonic whispers, constantly churning his nerves.
Gradually, the terrifying hallucination returned.
Luca blinked and found himself standing in a horde of monsters, facing cold, scrutinizing gazes, a chill running down his spine.
"He's such a good actor..."
"I really don't know how they won."
"Hilarious, I doubt he can even read many words."
"Did you hear? Because he can't type, he replied to the organizing committee with voice messages sent from his phone!"
"Ha ha ha ha……!"
"This kind of guy wants to be popular? Oh wait, he is popular now."
"It's really going down..."
"I heard he even wore iron crotch pants to avoid being sexually harassed! It's hilarious..."
The harsh voice was like a dagger, deeply piercing Luca's chest.
"Stop talking, stop talking!!"
He clutched his head, wanting nothing more than to escape.
"Luca, how much money did the company actually pay you? Tell everyone!"
"I didn't take a single penny from the company! I've already refused!"
"The Strategic Investment Department has always had designs on Belloberg. Luca, are you planning to take advantage of this opportunity to make a quick buck?"
"Nonsense! I have never been disloyal to Belloberg in the slightest!"
"Hehe, too bad no one will believe you. They'll only believe the truth I tell them~"
"?"
Upon hearing this, Luca slowly raised his head.
He spotted a man wearing sunglasses standing in front of him.
"You are... Shuojin?"
"Nice to meet you. I hope we'll meet again on the field someday..."
Shuojin smiled smugly.
"Or are you planning to be sensible and withdraw from the competition?"
Seeing Luca's pained expression, Shuojin was even more pleased.
This shows that everything he did worked.
"I will not withdraw from the competition, and people will not be fooled by you forever!"
Luca squinted and shouted:
"I will prove myself on the field, and the audience also has their own judgment!"
"No, no, no... I'll just say you're uncultured."
Shuo Jin smiled faintly:
