Finn King shook his head slightly and dialed another number. Without waiting for the other side to speak, he said directly, “You’ve seen it now, we have a common enemy, and this is also a great scandal, isn’t it? I will provide you with relevant information. If you still can’t handle it, then you might as well jump off the building.”

“Mr. King, rest assured, I’ll handle this.” A slightly sleazy voice came from the other end of the phone, sounding quite excited.

“That’s good, I’m hanging up now.” Finn King ended the call then instructed his men to prepare for the next wave of new information.

Not long after Finn King hung up the phone, Jay Summer’s inactive ‘micro research’ was updated. This time, clearly aimed at Finn Lewis’s recent press conference, “…I just finished watching this press conference. I disagreed with the online speculation about the supposed scandal between Kay Lee and Mr. Lewis. It’s their private business, and regardless of their relationship, outsiders shouldn’t comment. But after watching the video, I can’t help but criticize Mr. Lewis’s lavish spending at the end of the press conference. We all know that Mr. Lewis is wealthy and he can certainly use his wealth for good, much like foreign tycoons such as Bill Gates, who has donated his entire fortune to philanthropy.”

“As for Mr. Lewis, the way he splurged with money contributed by millions of players doesn’t resonate well with me. With so much money, it would be advisable to invest in charity work, instead of squandering it. Perhaps there are justifiable reasons unknown to me, but to the best of my knowledge, I have never seen Mr. Lewis engage in any charitable work.”

Jay Summer’s timing was spot on. The press conference had only just ended, and though Finn Lewis’s extravagant spending thrilled many young people, some individuals bear an irrational resentment towards the wealthy. They see the rich as essentially corrupt, resorting instantly to conspiracy theories, and completely dismiss the effort one puts in to acquire wealth.

So, there was no shortage of people eager to criticize Finn Lewis. And Jay Summer’s ‘micro research’, quite strategically, sprinkled praise even in critique, and further pushed the shifty agenda of ‘innocent critique’ under the guise of fairness, while still subtly criticizing you. This approach is decidedly sinister.

As soon as Jay Summer posted his comment, Finn King’s prepared minions began to enthusiastically share and promote it, quickly spreading the word. Soon after, many posts began to surface, claiming to expose whether Finn Lewis had ever engaged in charity work. Despite the facade of expertise and sound reasoning, the bottom line was one conclusion: Finn Lewis made a lot of money, but never once donated any of it to charity, preferring squandering instead.

Philanthropy, to put it bluntly, isn’t blown in by the wind. Granted, Finn Lewis made his money easily, but does that obligate him to engage in charity? Assisting others is commendable, but coerced assistance under the guise of morality, would not sit well with anyone. However, the common internet user will not consider these complexities.

Upon reading the posts, they would naturally agree with the poster’s perspective, “Yeah, Finn Lewis made a lot of money, and he’s even the richest man in the world. But he hasn’t done any charity work… isn’t that stingy? Splurging is one thing, but willful extravagance is inexcusable.”

On seeing these posts, many found Jay Summer’s reasoning relatable. With so much money, one could’ve chosen to donate it to charity instead of squandering it on journalists. This perspective soon redirected the discussion, and under the influence of Finn King’s paid commenters, the topic rapidly caught fire online. Upon seeing this, a highly pleased Norton James immediately called Finn King, saying, “Good, very good! This topic was a great choice! Let’s see how you handle it now! Listen, if he donates money later, you know what to do – attack mercilessly.”

“Don’t worry, Lord Quan, I’ve got this covered.” Finn King swiftly reassured him. Whether or not one chooses to involve in charity is up to the individual. However, if orchestrated by someone else, it could stir up a big issue, especially for businesses. Because if you don’t participate in charity, it’s not a good image for your customers or clients.

If this was in a foreign country, it would be better since people would be more understanding: charity is a voluntary act of goodwill. If you don’t engage in it, no one has the right to criticize you. But in their home country, it was a different story. Under the influence of these paid commenters or trolls, unrestrained criticism could potentially cause significant damage.

Of course, Finn Lewis also saw Jay Summer’s ‘micro research’, but he simply scoffed. If it were anyone else, they would’ve probably thrown evidence in their face at this point, telling them, “I not only engage in charity, but I also do it without expecting any return”. But at this point, Finn wasn’t in a hurry, he wanted to see what else the other side had up his sleeve.

But naturally, Finn wasn’t devoid of any evidence: If there wasn’t any proactive preparation, it wouldn’t matter, but ever since he left Kay Lee’s grandfather’s house, Finn had instructed Olivia Thatcher to keep an eye on Norton James. Naturally, all of Norton James’s actions were under Olivia Thatcher’s surveillance. This included when Norton James ordered Finn King to take certain actions, and when Finn King approached Jay Summer to smear Finn Lewis’s name online. Even when he paid Jay Summer 500,000 as hush money, all the evidence was intact with Olivia Thatcher.

Besides this, Olivia Thatcher was also able to obtain a great deal of evidence proving Norton James’s crimes, which included exploiting several female celebrities for personal relationships. There were at least several dozens of A-list, B-list, and C-list female celebrities who had relations with Norton James, many of them completely unsuspected by the public. Olivia Thatcher had no difficulty retrieving such evidence thanks to Norton James’s indiscretions.
