Chapter 964: Account Suspension
Chapter 964: Account Suspension
"Major public opinion incident?" Manina looked at the virtual screen displayed by AI Sunshine.
The virtual screen showed a screenshot of Cindy Doppler's recent post on a social media platform.
Seeing the post, Manina's heart sank. Things didn't look good at all!
Meanwhile, AI Sunshine began playing the audio Doppler had released. However, it didn't start from the beginning but began at the 1-minute and 30-second mark.
As Manina listened to Cindy Doppler's conversation with her son, Morgan, his face grew increasingly grim.
Xion, standing beside him, also turned pale, his body stiffening, and his arms and legs trembling involuntarily.
This was a major disaster, and it was completely unexpected!
...
Manina didn't listen to the entire audio clip.
The moment he heard Morgan start explaining the "Principle of Fair War," he understood exactly what had happened.
"Cindy Doppler did this on purpose!" Manina's face turned as dark as ink. "Doppler must have known about the 'Principle of Fair War' all along and deliberately set a trap for Morgan.
Morgan was caught off guard and fell for it, revealing the principle!"
"You're right, it was definitely Speaker Beck's scheme!" Xion echoed loudly. "Interstellar communication fees are astronomically high. They wouldn't earn back the cost of 100 spatial rings from just a few minutes of communication. If it weren't for Enticement, Speaker Beck would never have contacted Prince Morgan!
Alas, Prince Morgan was too careless. Who would have thought he was being lured into a trap?"
"Damn it!" Manina cursed, his face dark.
In recent days, the United Government had been strictly guarding against the "Principle of Fair War" being leaked by any external races.
But they never expected Cindy Doppler to strike from within!
If Doppler had merely spread the "Principle of Fair War" and claimed to have heard it from an external race, Manina could have countered with accusations of spreading false information.
But who would have thought Doppler would involve Morgan?
Morgan was his son, and everyone trusted that Morgan wouldn't lie.
So, this was an undeniable fact!
At this thought, Manina's mind was in turmoil.
Cindy Doppler had truly played a ruthless move!
...
A few seconds later, AI Sunshine's urgent voice sounded in Manina's ear:
"Your Majesty, the reading volume of Speaker Doppler's post is increasing exponentially. According to our assessment, it could lead to catastrophic consequences! We must act quickly before the situation becomes irreparable!"
Hearing AI Sunshine's voice, Manina took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.
As he calmed, his eyes regained their sharpness.
Manina ordered, "Sunshine, immediately delete all of Cindy Doppler's statements and suspend her account across all networks! Also, thoroughly screen all online discussions. Any accounts discussing this topic should be suspended, and any further discussions should be deleted!"
"Understood!" AI Sunshine immediately accepted the command.
"Your Majesty," Xion said worriedly, "The news has already spread, and many people are aware of it. Banning discussions might cause public unrest."
Manina shook his head. "But we have no other choice. We must do this."
With the great battle just two months away, we must silence the Anti-Union Organization during this period. Ideally, we should eliminate all their channels of communication!”
Xion, I entrust this task to you!”
“Yes, Your Majesty! I will do my utmost!” Xion quickly knelt in response.
…
Shortly after, in the digital world of Skrul Planet, netizens were fervently discussing the audio content released by Cindy Dopples. Some had even ventured to Manina’s social media accounts, eager to see his embarrassment.
However, they suddenly found themselves unable to post any messages. Upon closer inspection, they discovered that their accounts had been banned for two months, and all their previous comments had been deleted! Not only that, but discussions about the audio were rapidly disappearing from the internet.
Before long, Cindy Dopples’ social media accounts were shut down, and the audio itself vanished without a trace. Even her name could no longer be searched, and her profile was wiped clean of all previous content.
A potential storm of public opinion was thus quelled by physical means.
…
Manina controlled the virtual screen, browsing through the largest social media platforms on the internet.
Seeing the internet restored to its usual calm, he couldn’t help but smile in relief. Indeed, the Anti-Union Organization must not be allowed to speak freely. This clean and orderly online environment is the best environment!
Then, a thought struck him.
“Xion, create some major news to divert the public’s attention,” Manina instructed the intelligence minister.
“Major news?” Xion was momentarily taken aback.
“Yes,” Manina explained. “Like a pop star’s affair, or a famous influencer’s secret children—make it as big as possible. And it has to be true; only real news can effectively divert attention.”
“Understood!” Xion immediately grasped the plan.
Diverting attention was something they excelled at. He quickly pulled out his communication device, issued the commands, and delegated the task to his subordinates.
Just as Xion finished sending the message, the AI Sunlight interrupted, “Your Majesty, emergency situation!
A massive surge of abnormal spiritual energy has been detected at the northeastern corner of the Wilderness Continent, coordinates (14623, 75214). Based on our analysis, it appears that the Terminal Secret Realm has been reopened by humans from Earth!”
“What?! The Terminal Secret Realm has opened?” Manina was startled. The Earthlings had opened the realm earlier than expected by several hours.
No wonder the recent bounty hunt wasn’t as successful; the Earth humans must have already gathered together.
“Sunlight, notify all the gods,” Manina ordered. “And instruct the personnel preparing to enter the Terminal Secret Realm to head to the entrance as quickly as possible.”
“Understood!” Sunlight responded.
Manina turned to Xion, “Xion, prioritize the news about the Terminal Secret Realm opening and amplify it on the internet. Continue spreading the celebrity scandals as well.
For the next few days, I don’t want to see any information about the ‘fairness of the war’ on the internet, understood?”
“Yes, Your Majesty!”
