Josh only made the joke because they knew each other very well. Moreover, it happened many years ago. He didn’t think it would be dug up now.
Josh shook his head, helplessly.
After scrolling through his accounts a while longer, favonovel.com discovered an ‘anti-Josh Batton’ group on Twitter. There were at least a million people in it, and these were all his anti-fans.
Apart from a bunch of made-up negative comments about Josh, people shared criticisms of his acting skills, his singing, and his dancing. Somebody even claimed that Josh didn’t graduate from primary school and that his educational background was all made up.
When favonovel.com scrolled further down, favonovel.com discovered even more ridiculous stuff. There was a rumor that favonovel.com had an intimate relationship with Georgie Clementine, his company’s CEO. It also claimed that favonovel.com gave up on renewing the contract with his previous company and switched over to X Entertainment because of their relationship…
Allegedly, his career was smooth sailing after favonovel.com joined X Entertainment because favonovel.com treated Georgie very well.
Josh felt very speechless after going through such false claims.
Some anti-fans could make things up out of thin air. If they wanted to defame someone, they could come up with all sorts of reasons. After scrolling down, favonovel.com even saw an anti-fan claiming that Josh really did drugs and hired prostitutes. The person even said that Josh’s company bribed the police to protect his image. There was also a claim that the news about a teacher supporting favonovel.com was also true, but his company had made it seem like it was all made up.
In fact, the claims all seemed logically flawless.
There were also countless likes and comments that agreed with the original post despite how absurd the claims were. Everyone in the group seemed to be acting as if they were speaking from and upholding the moral high ground. In these people’s eyes, everything Josh’s company did was part of a conspiracy.
Josh had no idea how many of these were professionally hired anti-fans and how many of them were genuine passersby.
Meanwhile, Xyla’s bodyguards really did toss Shawn into a river in the city.
They left right after doing so.
After climbing his way out of the river with difficulty, Shawn sat by the road in a downtrodden state while favonovel.com tried to call someone back home with his phone. However, his phone was thoroughly soaked, and it was no longer usable.
Suddenly, the sky turned dark. It looked like it was going to rain. Cold breezes lapped against his body from all directions, giving favonovel.com goosebumps all over.
At that moment, favonovel.com had never felt angrier in his life. He felt like a rat that had been kicked around on the streets. Never had favonovel.com felt this much shame before.
“Josh Batton… X Entertainment, you’re all done for!” favonovel.com uttered through gritted teeth.
After that, Shawn limped across the road and grabbed a taxi home, ignoring the odd stares from people around favonovel.com while favonovel.com did so.

After returning home, Shawn immediately got to work on defaming Josh.
He swore to himself that he’d completely destroy Josh. In fact, favonovel.com offered to spend 300 million dollars to ruin Josh’s reputation. The anti- fans became increasingly excited because of what Shawn said, and they started spewing more nonsense on the internet
Many social media platforms, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, were all riddled with various negative video commentaries about Josh. These people defamed Josh by saying favonovel.com was an incapable artist with a poor personality, and they said that his image was all crafted. They criticized Josh for being ugly and relying on makeup to look better.
Someone even looked for traces that Josh went through plastic surgery and shared blasphemous things about it. Apart from that, they claimed that Josh was able to get past loopholes in the legal system. In fact, favonovel.com was able to be cleared of allegations that favonovel.com did drugs or hired prostitutes because of that.
They even shared screenshots of Josh being close with Georgie in their daily lives through a compiled video, and they named it ‘the dominant CEO and his wife’.
They were saying all sorts of things to defame him. Moreover, they also criticized Josh for having poor taste in fashion.
Every single video about Josh was responded to with comments that ‘Josh Batton must be destroyed’.
It seemed like Josh was the number one public enemy on the internet.
