Chapter 181
The channel was one year old, and its owner was Jack. Jack took pleasure in judging others, and that was the theme of his channel. In his channel, he had ridiculed 30% of the celebrities from showbiz. Sometimes, he unleashed a torrent of abuse on the figures in the daily news. During his live streaming, he liked to watch the live streaming of others with his fans. Then, he led his fans to ridicule those streamers. Their mean comments were about the appearance and voice of those streamers. In other words, his fans were as malicious as he; they were birds of a feather.
From time to time, Jackโs channel was off the air due to complaints from others. Even so, Jack still wanted to make his name via controversy. He was a fan of Sienna and saw her as his goddess. As a result, he was one of the haters who fiercely lashed out at Phoebe that day. He did not believe in the talisman or the backlash at all. He then got a good idea to make money. He would do live streaming to see if he would get a backlash, as Phoebe had said. The number of his followers would skyrocket for sure.
As expected, the viewers flooded in after he began the live streaming. He was on his way home when his live streaming began. With a bright smile, he greeted his viewers. Walking, he ridiculed Phoebe. At the same time, he began a countdown with another phone. Fifteen minutes later, he said with a smile, โFifteen minutes have passed. Letโs see if Phoebeโs curse will work.โ โI donโt think itโฆโ โLetโs witness the humiliating moment of Phoebe, a so-called expert on horoscopes.โ Instantly came the positive response from the haters who had scolded Phoebe that day. The other viewers watched and made no comments.
Suddenly, Jackโs camera shook violently. Then, the viewers found that Jack, holding his phone, had fallen to the ground face down. When he got back to his feet with his phone, they saw his bloody mouth with a few teeth missing.
[15 minutes have passed. Wasnโt his fall a backlash!] [Unbelievable!] [He fell flat on his face and lost a few teeth right after the countdown.] A troll like him doesnโt need many teeth. [His mouth is bleeding. It is swollen.] Serve him right!
Jack was aghast as his heart skipped a beat. His attention was distracted by the live streaming. Not a backlash. Even so, he still talked roughly. โI tripped because myโฆโ Tim going to the hospital for medical treatment. Stay with me! Then, he went to get his car. His car was spinning on the road when it suddenly got a flat tire. Jack had to call for help.
When he was on the phone, a few birds flew by and left poop on his face. He immediately wiped his face with a tissue. He got back into the car, drank water, and almost choked to death. He couldnโt help but panic after he caught his breath. The fall could be seen as an accident, but what about the rest? Did he really get a backlash?
Right then, the phone he had used for the countdown rang. He answered the call and accidentally turned on the speaker. Then the viewers learned that it was a call from the court. Jack was a debt defaulter, so his creditors had to turn to the law. Soon, there came another call. The caller turned out to be Jackโs apartment manager. He told Jack to hurry home as the pipe in Jackโs apartment had burst.
Jack had to take a taxi home. After the pipe was fixed, Jack closed the door and returned to his living room. Right then, he slipped on the water on the floor, and his face hit the coffee table. Instantly, his face swelled up. Before he applied the ointment to his face, the policemen showed up at his door.
Not long ago, Jack had a hit-and-run after he got drunk. The victim in the car accident was already paralyzed. The surveillance cameras around the scene didnโt work, so it cost the victimโs family some money to find the witnesses of the car accident. Coincidentally, one witness was among the viewers of the farce that day, and he recognized Jackโs car. He felt that Jack looked like the culprit of the car accident. Without hesitation, he alerted the victimโs family. The victimโs family quickly called the police.
At the sight of the policemen, Jack broke down. He kept saying, โI am sorry. I am terribly sorry.โ He regretted messing up with Phoebe and doing this live streaming. Gradually, the viewers of the variety show noticed more and more apologies to Phoebe on their respective screens. Those apologetic posts included an apology to Phoebe and a promise of not belittling her anymore.
Chapter 181
Like Jack, those posters had a hard time. Some of them became outspoken. For example, they cursed at their bosses, colleagues, friends, or relatives face-to-face when they were supposed to keep those hurtful words to themselves. Some found that their mean comments from the past were exposed to their acquaintances. Some got punished for the bad things they had done. A fugitive murderer was recognized and then captured. Fearlessness had left those haters, and they humbly asked Phoebe for forgiveness.
What a shocking outcome! Phoebe was awesome. Most of the people suffering from the backlash were bad in reality, and some of them were criminals. Via cyberbullying, a few of them caused the victims to attempt suicide or suffer from depression. Now, Phoebe brought these bad men to justice.
[Itโs too late to apologize now!] [It is useless to beg Pheebs for mercy. You get backlashed for the bad things you did.] [What a retribution!] [Serve them right] [They finally know how the victims of cyberbullying feel.] [Retribution may be late, but it will come anyway.]
The last comment was repeated by many viewers. At the same time, they reminded themselves to be nice in the future. Some haters asked Sebastian to send their apologies to Phoebe. Someone threatened to complain of Phoebe to Special Force if she didnโt stop the backlash right away. Sebastian didnโt want Phoebe to get sued while wondering about her attitude to the threat. Hence, he let his assistant break the news to Phoebe at dinner.
The camera zoomed in on Phoebe. Phoebe looked at the camera and said, โThe reason for your backlash is all the bad things you did, with your offense to me, my family, and my friends included.โ โThis is Karma.โ โYou have yourselves to blame.โ โI canโt help. I wouldnโt even if I could.โ She added frankly, โSue me if you want to.โ โI didnโt break the rules made by Special Force.โ She had studied the regulations of Special Force, so she knew that her self-defense was justifiable. The backlash resulted from oneโs bad deeds instead of Phoebeโs spell. In short, those haters had themselves to blame.
3/4 Chapter 181
Phoebeโs spell past let the backlash start early. With a bright smile, Phoebe said, โIโm ready to atone for your sins. Apologies wonโt help!โ
