Chapter 180 Karma Will Always Track You Down
Simone glanced at the live chat on the tablet’s screen. Jodie’s fans and the internet trolls watching the live stream probably believed she could not do anything about them. As a result, the clamor grew louder and wilder.
She addressed the camera. “Do you think the backlash is fake, all you Jodie fans and trolls in the live chat?” The live chat quickly filled up with disbelief, after which she chuckled. “Alright, then. I’ll let you experience firsthand what it means to face a backlash.” She took out a piece of yellow paper from her bag along with a talisman pen and cinnabar.
On the table, she swiftly drew a talisman. This was something she habitually carried with her
now.
The people watching the live stream were puzzled when they saw her drawing up a talisman. They could not comprehend what she was trying to do. At that point, Jodie’s fans and the trolls could not help but mock her, thinking she was deliberately trying to create more drama.
‘Are you trying to draw a talisman to make us suffer a backlash?”
‘Those people online say you’re a geomancy master, but you don’t seriously think you’re that capable, do you? Just drawing a piece of paper can’t make us suffer a backlash.‘
‘Is Simone here to be funny?‘
I’ve been cursing all along. I don’t believe in any backlash. Attack me if you can!”
‘Exactly. Your words carry no weight to us.
‘Let me tell you, I’ve seen worse. Your tricks mean nothing to me.
These people did not believe in the backlash. Not only were they unafraid, but they also thought Simone was provoking them, so they continued to insult her. Her supporters and other fanbases came out to stop them, but the trolls insulted them, too.
After she finished drawing the talisman, she chanted a few spells and rubbed the corner of the talisman with her fingertips. Everyone saw that the talisman in her hand suddenly ignited inexplicably. Then, wisps of green smoke emerged and floated in all directions, disappearing only after drifting far away. After a moment, the green smoke dissipated, and the talisman turned into ashes, disappearing from the camera as well.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Simone looked at the camera and said, “The talisman I drew is a backlash talisman. Since you’re used to malice, experience what it feels like to face a backlash. She paused and added, “You guys are miserable in real life, so you seek validation and vent your frustrations online. With time, it naturally leads to verbal
disputes and damages your karma. Even if you don’t suffer from talisman backlash today, you won’t have any blessings and live a happy and smooth life. The more you’re filled with resentment, the worse your luck will be and the more challenging your life will become.
“Furthermore, you’ll experience bad luck. That’s on karma. You can observe the people around you. People who like to stir up trouble, like internet trolls, and those who frequently resort to malice. Don’t they have a difficult life? Why is there such a saying as “accumulating good karma,” which is related to cause and effect? A knife wound heals, but harsh words are hard to forget. If you cyberbully others and even find pleasure in it, remember one thing.” Her eyes were sharp. “Karma will always track you down.”
Waifu is right. Those brainless fans and internet trolls should accumulate some good karma.
“It’s not that there won’t be retribution; it’s just not the right time. And I’m talking about all of
you.
These trolls are indeed despicable. I have a relative who committed suicide due to online
ing
‘It’s difficult to persuade them with kind words. If they were willing to listen, they wouldn’t. cyberbully others every day.
Many people shared the same sentiment, feeling repulsed by those haters and internet trolls. who enjoyed cyberbullying others. They had seen or heard about many suffering from online violence, leading to depression or suicide.
These people treated the internet as a lawless place, acting particularly arrogant. Someone was bound to clean up and make them face the consequences, which they deserved.
Simone’s actions and the bickering from the viewers had angered those trolls.
“Huh, I’ll just cyberbully. I don’t believe in karma. I’ll wait and see if there’s any so–called.
backlash.’
‘I don’t believe it either. I’m waiting, right now.”
I enjoy cyberbullying when I’m not happy. So what?”
‘Simone, you better live up to your words. If I don’t suffer any backlash, I’ll trash talk you till
the end of time.
I’ll even stream later. Let’s see if I’ll be affected. Remember to watch.
These people are exceptionally arrogant.
Simone smiled indifferently. “It will take effect in fifteen minutes, so just wait and see.”
It was illegal to publicly disclose their personal information using hacking methods. The impact of exposing their identities would be minimal, considering how large the country was. Even if they were doxxed, some could not care less about their so–called reputation. Some extremists would not learn their lesson until they faced the consequences. Hence, it was time they tasted their own medicine.
Simone’s words rendered them in disdain, further diminishing her credibility.
Fifteen minutes later, they encountered a backlash, faster than flying back from Slovance.
She could not be bothered to argue with these people and exited the live broadcast. Then, she looked at Luca, who was standing awkwardly before her. “So, have you seen it all? A foolish and blind pawn; that’s you. Now, the person you trusted has stabbed you in the back. How does that feel?”
Jodie pretended to faint, proving her guilt.
Luca naturally knew that he had been deceived by his foster sister. Hearing Simone’s words, he felt embarrassed. His mouth twitched, and after a while, he said, “I didn’t expect
her to deceive and instigate me to question you.” He thought for a moment and squeezed out two words from his mouth. “I’m sorry!”
Simone glanced at him coldly and said, “No, thanks.” She deliberately added, “Through today’s events, I am once again grateful that I’d cut ties with all of you.”
His expression shifted; he wanted to explain but did not know how. It seemed that any explanation now would be feeble and ineffective. He felt anger and sadness for being deceived and manipulated by Jodie while also embarrassed and resentful for his sister publicly expressing relief at cutting them off.
Zac saw the dejected Luca standing before them and could not help but say, “Can you please excuse us? You’ve ruined our afternoon tea. Your gloomy presence is not only embarrassing for you but also for us!”
Simone agreed and added, “Exactly. It’s off–putting.”
Sc*mbag No. 3 stood aside, causing her to lose her appetite. Harry then gave them a thumbs up as he wanted to say the same thing.
Teased by the two of them, Luça found his countenance red yet ashen. “Fine, you guys continue. I’m leaving!” He dared not blame Simone anymore, nor did he have the face to stay. He came in angrily and left angrily.
Except for his fans, who felt sorry for him, no one else sympathized with Luca. Instead, they could not help but sarcastically say that it was a good thing Simone left the Gray Family.
From these aspects, it could be seen how unhappy she was after being recognized as part of
the Gray Family again. In the previous case, it was Aaron; now, it was Luca, both causing trouble for her because of Jodie.
Aaron did not cause any trouble this time, but he had not been a good person before, either. In any case, they all agreed that Simone cutting off ties was the right decision. Apart from this, everyone was also curious about whether her backlash talisman was effective.
Then, one of Jodie’s attention–seeking fans arrogantly started a live broadcast to see if he would be affected by the backlash. Many then rushed to his stream to witness the outcome.
