694 Chapter 693
The entrance of the Olsen Group was swarming with people. Reporters clustered together, and the conference room inside was packed to capacity. Those without an invitation were left to wait outside. Some resourceful journalists had managed to sneak in and had even started live-streaming the event.
âHello, everyone, Iâm here at the Olsen Group headquarters,â one of the reporters began. âYes, the Olsen Group is expected to make a decision today regarding Miss Olsenâs alleged support of espionage. As many of you know, insider sources claimed last week that the Olsen family had already kicked her out. Letâs see what Mr. Olsen, the head of the family, has to say today!â
This situation had captured a lot of attention, especially since âKeeraâ had been trending online. The livestream quickly attracted a massive audience. The comment section exploded with activity.
âTodayâs press conference must be to announce that theyâve kicked Miss Olsen out of the family, right?â
âI heard she was only recently acknowledged as Mr. Olsenâs daughter, but she grew up outside the family. Did she get so dazzled by wealth that she forgot who she really is?â
âIf she keeps this up, she wonât even remember her own nameâŠâ
âThe Olsen Group better give us an explanation. Patriotism is non-negotiable. I have zero tolerance for anyone who doesnât love their country!â
âWith the way things look, theyâre definitely here to announce something bigâŠâ
âWhere is this Miss Olsen anyway? Why isnât she here yet?â
âMaybe sheâs too scared to show up! If she does, weâll roast her!â
ââŠâ
Similar comments flashed rapidly across the screen.
Meanwhile, at Freeman SectâŠ
Trevor Freeman, the Sect Leader, was watching the live-stream on his phone. Seeing the flood of negative comments, his expression darkened. He stood up abruptly and barked, âGet everyone in the sect over here, now!â
James, standing nearby, was taken aback. âWhy are we gathering everyone?â he asked, confused.
âJust do it!â Trevor snapped.
âAlright, alright,â James replied, quickly leaving to gather the members.
Soon, a group of disciples assembled in front of Trevor Freeman. James reported, âSect Leader, weâve got about 347 members in Clance, and there are 320 here. The rest had other obligations. Whatâs going on?â
Trevorâs face turned serious as he addressed the group. âIâve called you all here for one reason: to defend your senior sisterâs honor!â
James was the first to jump in, âWhere do we go to defend her honor? Just say the word! Is it the Olsen Group?â
His last question was asked with some hesitation. He remembered seeing how protective Uncle Olsen and Trevor Freeman were of âKeeraâ during a previous incident. It couldnât be anyone else they were defending, right?
But wasnât todayâs press conference supposed to be about Uncle Olsen officially recognizing âKeeraâsâ place in the family? So, who couldâve offended her?
The rest of the group exchanged puzzled looks.
Trevorâs voice cut through their confusion, âNow, listen up! Attention!â
The disciples immediately stood at attention, determined not to be outdone by their peers. None of them wanted to be the one who got whacked by Trevorâs stick. Then he commanded, âHorse stance, now!â
Everyone was confused.
Werenât they supposed to be standing up for their senior sister? Why were they doing horse stance exercises?
As they tried to figure out what was happening, Trevor took out his phone and ordered, âTake out your phones!â
The group, still in horse stance, quickly grabbed their phones. Trevor then shared the live-stream link in their group chat. âAlright, join this livestream and start posting positive comments!â
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Trevor glared at them. âA bunch of clueless bystanders are smearing my discipleâs name, and you think Iâll just let that slide? Start posting! I want a thousand positive comments from each of you, with a minimum of fifteen words per comment! If you donât hit the target, youâll stay in horse stance all day!â
The disciples couldnât believe their ears.
A thousand comments?
How were they supposed to manage that?
Muttering under their breath, the disciples began furiously typing on their phones while holding their horse stances. Soon enough, their comments started to flood the livestream, burying the negative ones.
âMiss Olsen is the most beautiful woman in the world! What nonsense are you all spouting?â
âMiss Olsen is incredibly strong! Iâm sure sheâs got impeccable character!â
âThereâs got to be more to this story! Anyway, I believe Miss Olsen wouldnât do something like that.â
âOh my god, Miss Olsen is so kind-hearted and beautiful!â
âI had a big breakfast today, five bagels and a latte.â
Trevor, pacing between the disciples, noticed this last comment and smacked the disciple on the head. âI told you to praise your senior sister, not talk about what you ate! That one doesnât count!â
âAnd you!â he pointed at another, âWhatâs with all the âoh my godsâ and âahsâ? Are you stuttering or something? This isnât a web novel where you pad the word count!â
The disciples were speechless.
James watched the scene unfold, feeling a sense of dread for the poor souls in front of him. Just then, one of the disciples suddenly stood up straight, glaring angrily at Trevor, âSect Leader, why do we have to sit here and post praise for Senior Sister? What she did, even the special forces wouldnât approve of, and Iâm embarrassed by it!â
The others quickly chimed in.
âYeah, the first rule of Freeman Sect is to love your country!â
