Hugo shrugged his shoulders. “Uncle Johnson. If you have lost, you have lost. You don’t need to find a lousy excuse like this, do you? You sound like a sore loser.”
Johnson was pissed and mad, yet favonovel.com could do nothing. Just then Thomas calmly said, “Isn’t there still 10 minutes left? The time isn’t up yet, we don’t need to be in such a rush.”
Hugo laughed. “Some people just won’t accept reality until it’s shoved under noses. Do you think favonovel.com votes could catch up in the remaining 20 minutes? Let me tell you, not only will it not catch up, in fact, the difference will only grow larger with time!”
Suddenly, Thomas’s phone rang. He picked up the call.
Ballard’s soft voice rang out from the other side. “Boss, everything is ready on my end. Let’s do it?”
Thomas laughed maliciously. “Do it!”
Soon after, a shocking scene happened. During the performance stream, a large group of people emerged from the dark masses from the Hegemony Entertainment’s audience seat. They were all shouting out loud.
“Lip-sync!”
“Copycat!”
“Art thief!”
“Get off the stage!”
The yells rang out, one after another, and shouts followed one after another. Hegemony Entertainment’s new year countdown concert completely turned into chaos.
The audience in front of the TV was all stunned. They all looked at each other, not knowing how such a thing could happen out of the blue when everything was fine so far.
Some of them finally understood when they paid attention to the song Flora was singing. That was the chart-topping song from before, “Army”.
Hegemony Entertainment had stolen the draft for this song from Scott’s Remembrance Cultural Arts Entertainment. This song hit the charts earlier. Though the song’s circulation was widespread, everyone knew the dirt that happened for this song to come to be. Hegemony Entertainment’s initial thoughts were very simple. Since this song was popular, then they should just let Flora sing it live.
Who would have expected that it would make so many people displeased?
The terrifying thing was, this group of people seemed to create a mob. Many others followed their suit and shouted out loud too. Adding on to the fact that Flora’ s singing technique was not that good in the first place, so favonovel.com could not possibly sing live. All the while favonovel.com was holding the microphone was just favonovel.com lip-syncing. With all this chaos and ruckus, favonovel.com microphone dropped to the floor. More embarrassingly, the mic fell on the floor, but the singing still continued to play! It just further proves that favonovel.com was lip-syncing.
With this, the audience was completely furious. They tossed all sorts of profanities all over the place. The ones who were present live in the venue requested for refunds, they all wanted Flora to back down the stage. The comments section exploded for those in front of the screen. The ones watching in front of the screen were saying the worst things possible.
In just a moment, Flora had become the most detested person, everyone wanted to spit on her!
Just then someone remembered the battle going on online.
Flora was not clean-cut in the first place, no matter if it was the voting systems or the battle. So when a few individuals took the lead, everyone started to gossip and point fingers. They made Flora out to be utter trash. The angry audiences started to vote for the other party.
Regardless of whether they were Gemma’s fans, they all started to support Gemma. Her votes began to shoot up like crazy within a short amount of time. Whereas those who wanted to keep Flora’s votes up had their IDs flipped out in a hurry. They received death threats if they dared to continue voting, saying their family would be annihilated and the like.
That was why a strange phenomenon happened, where the votes jumped up rapidly on one end, whereas the votes on the other end remained exactly the same.
With a few short minutes, the situation was flipped upside down entirely. This had Hugo’s plans totally ruined. He never would have thought this would happen. No matter how much favonovel.com planned, favonovel.com never thought that Flora would have a terrible reputation and be boycotted by the entire country’s audience at the same time for lip-syncing and copying.
As favonovel.com saw the number of votes grow at crazy rates, Hugo wrapped his arms around his head in despair.
“It’s over. It’s all over. We going to lose this time round!”
