Chapter 174: Created a Huge Storm

Online chatter erupted after the events of the variety show. One netizen asked, "Can someone explain what happened?" Another responded, "Didn't the police cars and Sven's actions give it away?"

Comments quickly escalated: "So, Javier's really involved with drugs?" Another netizen speculated, "Is this another Team A-list stunt? A police-coordinated cover-up? That would be incredibly elaborate."

A reply countered, "It's a coincidence. Who knew Team A-list would use a detection dog? Javier just happened to be there. Was he set up?"

Another comment quipped, "If it's a coincidence, it's hilarious! We were debating Javier's innocence, and now…no need to debate anymore." Someone else exclaimed, "Good heavens! A variety show turned into a criminal case! I knew Team A-list's performance couldn't end without a hitch!" Another netizen added, "Forget the Justice Upholder judging bad behavior; she's involved in real crimes! This is too funny!" Finally, a comment praised, "Isabella never disappoints!"

Isabella, watching the online frenzy from the audience, felt annoyed. "How is this about me? What does it have to do with me? Danielle borrowed Sven, Javier brought the drugs, and I was just a bystander. It's so unfair!" The Quirks around her found the situation both amusing and frustrating.

No one had anticipated this turn of events. Scarlett was still in shock after overhearing information about drug trafficking. It was beyond her comprehension. Freya wasn't present because, as Javier's mother, she'd voluntarily cooperated with the investigation.

The show's outcome became inconsequential. Once the police apprehended the contact person hiding in the restroom, everyone was released after identity verification.

The Quirk family passed Roland, who, despite being busy, greeted them warmly, smiling and giving Isabella a friendly look. Despite the chaos, they acknowledged that without Isabella and Christopher's actions, they wouldn't have made such a significant arrest. Roland's positive impression of Isabella grew. Several young officers looked at Isabella and Christopher with admiration. Roland thanked them, promising a meal.

Alexander muttered, "It's just a coincidence." He then thought, "I didn't even consider the restroom contact, but they caught him! Tonight was fruitful. Oh, if I check the contact person, I might… Oh, crap! Why didn't I think of that! Let me see!" His expression changed. "Could it be possible?" he wondered. Then, "What? I can't see? Why…Okay, I get it. Interfering too much with reality reveals too many secrets. This system only digs up gossip. What a pity."

Alexander realized Isabella's abilities were limited; she could perceive simple information affecting individuals or related persons through cause and effect. Knowing about Javier impacted the contact person. Looking at the contact person might reveal insignificant details, aiding the police, but it wouldn't reveal the mastermind. It would be too impactful. Alexander found it regrettable but understandable. Isabella's powers, if too overwhelming, would be problematic.

They didn't dwell on it. Alexander spoke with Roland before leading the family out. At the entrance, they found Sven, who greeted Isabella enthusiastically. The trainer explained Sven was apologizing for not completing the performance. Isabella praised Sven, and the dog happily rubbed against her leg. Everyone took photos with Sven before leaving.

Outside, they saw Taylor and Riley, disheveled and stressed from managing the aftermath. Danielle expressed concern. Two resentful gazes fell on Isabella. Confused, Isabella protested, "This wasn't my fault! I didn't know! Besides, we caught criminals!"

Riley, almost in tears, said, "We're glad we helped, but our hearts can't take it. We want to live a few more years!" Taylor added, "Next time you're in a show, please avoid involving us. We're incompatible!"

Everyone wanted to laugh but felt too embarrassed. The variety show was unprecedented, but it was a coincidence. They could only offer sympathy. Unbeknownst to them, the storm had only just begun.

While online speculation raged, the production team and artists remained silent until the police issued a statement. Only those present in the studio could offer information, making it difficult to separate truth from rumor. However, as the night progressed, the online discussion shifted.

A netizen revealed, "My neighbor is XX. I saw the police at their house at midnight!" Another exposed, "My girlfriend's in an artist's PR team and was called in for an all-nighter." Comments followed: "Someone reported this! My upstairs neighbor's room is noisy, but tonight the police came. I saw it was the famous actor XXX." Another said, "Paparazzi photographed several artists being taken to the station." A netizen asked, "What's going on? Wasn't it just Javier?"

By morning, the discussion was even more chaotic. Isabella, waking up, saw the Twitter storm and was confused. At breakfast, everyone was gossiping.

Rosalie asked, surprised, "What happened?" Christopher, scrolling through his phone, said, "Several artists' homes were raided. Rumors say some used drugs." David added, "Is it related to Javier? He trafficked drugs but didn't use them, right?" Selena, browsing her phone, exclaimed, "Oh my, if this is related, artists with good reputations will be ruined!" Evian commented, "Chasing stars is risky!"

Isabella checked the news. "It's not Javier, it's the contact person. He worked in the entertainment industry, distributing drugs. His most valuable asset is a list of artists. Damn… This has stirred up a hornet's nest. How many will fall? I can imagine the fan heartbreak."
