American Gossip King

Chapter 201 Blood Slaughter

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Referee Moreno, known for his corrupt officiating, was brutally dismembered by the Italian Mafia."

"Egyptian judge Jamal Alghandour was stabbed in the throat."

"A bloody revenge unfolds at the World Cup."

"This is a righteous declaration of war by the Italians and Spaniards against shameless South Korea!"

The incident, which was already causing a global uproar due to the referee corruption scandal, has become even more sensational because of the deaths of the two referees.

However, unlike before, this news was not reported by Carr Media, but exclusively by Fox News, a subsidiary of News Corporation.

A lucky journalist was chosen to carry this honor, making everything irrelevant to Ian Carl.

The matter caused a huge uproar, and even the South Korean side was shocked.

This could have been faked, covered up, or denied to the death, but now that two referees have been killed, the matter has escalated and become much bigger!

The incident suddenly became much larger than in the original timeline, prompting FIFA and the South Korean police to get involved.

The South Koreans, of course, continued to be defiant: "The competition was fair, the Italians' actions were simply outrageous, and we will definitely find the culprit."

Italians cheered, "This is what they deserved! Our hero killed Moreno!"

FIFA has been actively adjusting refereeing arrangements – they were already planning to make adjustments, and this is just a change in name only.

As for the murder case, that's none of their business and not something they can interfere with.

As for the South Korean police?

They can't find the killer, and even if they did, it wouldn't matter.

Ian can easily solve problems—the problems of clairvoyance and thread making, the problems of illusion and hypnosis, and the problems of copying and silk as support!

Good!

South Korean police also contacted News Corporation to inquire how they obtained firsthand footage of the scene.

The reporter, who had already been spun out, used Ian's words: "Isn't it only natural that two corrupt referees would be retaliated against? Isn't it normal to keep an eye on them?"

What? You're asking why I didn't stop it?

What right do I, a reporter, have to stop this?

That's totally Ian Carr's tone: as journalists, we are just faithful recorders, what does anything else have to do with us?

As for where the murderer went?

Sorry, I don't have the guts to pursue her.

Our only courage was to take photos, and once we were done, we called it a day!

News Corporation, as the largest media conglomerate today, wields immense influence. Even the South Koreans cannot easily take action against them—which is why Ian was willing to give them to them; I no longer need to offend the South Koreans.

Ian adheres to the principle of speaking kindly while wielding a big stick; he may be ruthless in taking action, but he must always appear as a friend.

I, Ian Karl, want to be a good friend to Koreans!!!

I want to be a good friend to Jews, Japanese, and British people in the future.

Indians are a no-go, they're too dirty!

The world is vast; there's no need to try to make money in a cesspool.

Now Ian is becoming more and more aware of the bigger picture—no matter how ruthless he is in private, on the surface I am a good friend to all of you!

Kissinger once said, "It is dangerous to be an enemy of America, but it is deadly to be a friend of America."

This statement is not comprehensive, but it vividly illustrates the American attitude towards its allies: it's all about reaping profits!

While enemies will certainly be harvested, allies like Japan and South Korea will also be harvested!

Ian Carl: I am now a standard American, more American than any American!

Moreno and Jamal Alghandour were killed on June 23.

On June 24, News Corp. released new evidence proving that Chung Mong-joon did indeed bribe the referees, as well as South Korea's statements to its head coach, etc.

Bribing referees and internal disputes caused an uproar across the country.

"Shameless!"

"The shamelessness of the Koreans is shocking; Moreno and his ilk deserve to die!"

"Is there anything more shameless in this world than the Koreans? They steal other people's history and all the fruits of other people's hard work."

"They can't do anything but steal!"

"The South Korean team's results should be disqualified!"

Public sentiment was surging.

Countless people are demanding that South Korea be disqualified from the finals.

But this is impossible.

Because the betting companies don't allow it.

The bets have been placed, their victory is cancelled, and will the losers come to settle accounts?

You can't possibly go to the person who won the money and ask for it back.

Then this is going to be difficult to calculate!

Betting companies have a huge influence on the event, so even FIFA stated that they would thoroughly investigate the matter and give South Korea the punishment it deserves. However, the outcome of the event was already decided and could not be changed.

The outcome may be unchangeable, and the public's anger will not change!

Especially those who lose at gambling, when it involves their own interests, they really go crazy!

South Koreans were only happy for two days before they were engulfed in a global barrage of criticism.

No matter how shameless or stubborn they are, they'll still be made to look down on others.

Even worse, this incident sparked unrest among fans across South Korea.

They joined forces to raid various parts of South Korea, keeping the South Korean police extremely busy.

Despite the South Korean government's appeal for calm and promise to provide an explanation, it's been to no avail.

What did you say, "We need to find the killer?"

Do not!

We can't let you find the killer; he's our hero!

The attacks became increasingly ferocious, with the aim of keeping the South Korean police constantly on their toes.

Forget about finding the culprit, get busy dealing with the riots.

In this situation, the World Cup descended into chaos, prompting various countries to issue appeals urging everyone to remain calm.

Only the journalists from Carl Media and News Corp were happy.

Good thing!

The more chaotic things you create, the more news there will be.

The only thing Ian regrets is that he can't control this kind of thing, so he can only rely on the abilities of his reporters... If it's not an exclusive story, it's not good news!

The latest novel is first published here!

It was 7:30 p.m. on June 25th.

Seoul Stadium.

Germany vs. South Korea.

Countless fans flocked in.

Fans from all over the world stood in the stands, chanting and shouting:

"South Korean team, shameless!"

"South Korean team, shameless!"

"South Korean team, shameless!"

On this day, all the fans put aside their differences and joined together to condemn the South Korean team.

The moment that could unite football fans around the world has finally arrived.

That's why the old saying goes: the reason the Earth is not united is because there is no alien invasion.

This South Korean team is like an alien invasion of world football, becoming the target of all fans' anger.

Faced with this situation, when the South Korean team entered the field, they were met with boos and insults from all sides.

The South Korean team's mentality has collapsed!

The bribery of referees has been confirmed, internal criticism of the head coach and various dirty conversations have been exposed, and even Hiddink's eyes are filled with anger when he looks at these players.

With the referee changed, victory was no longer possible, and the South Korean team had lost all fighting spirit.

Looking at the long, angry fans and the overwhelming boos, the South Korean team felt like they weren't playing at home, or even away... because you could hardly see a single person supporting them.

The South Korean fans who still wanted to put up a fight fell silent.

They didn't know if their continued support would lead to even more misfortune—this could very well be the Munich massacre!

In this situation, the whistle blew.

Originally, the semi-final match that day was supposed to be a narrow 1-0 victory for Germany over South Korea.

But things changed at that moment!

Germany won, but not 1-0, it was 12-0!

Dejected, the South Korean team was utterly crushed by the German machine, not to mention that Ian secretly gave them a little help – he bet heavily on Germany to win by a large margin against South Korea.

Almost everyone on the field was cheering for Germany.

When the Germans beat Brazil 7-1, they were warned: Don't win too much, or you might not be able to leave Brazil alive.

But in South Korea, they don't have that concern.

The differences between countries, the South Koreans' stubbornness and their tendency to be weak, and the anger brought about by this biased refereeing have also infected the Germans – if FIFA hadn't changed the referee, they would have been wronged too.

Anyway, your country isn't Brazil, it doesn't have that many football hooligans, and you have a lot of shit on your head, so you probably won't dare to retaliate. What are you afraid of?

Kill as many as you can!

Thus, an unprecedented massacre in World Cup history unfolded under Ian's direction.

Amid cheers and support from the entire audience, the South Korean team was completely defeated and lost all fighting spirit, to the point that everyone cried in the end.

They won and advanced to the semifinals, but what awaited them was an overwhelming barrage of insults and a crushing defeat at the hands of their opponents.

They are destined to be remembered in history as a disgrace.

When the final whistle blew, all the fans cheered.

They sang "The Cup of Life" and shouted at the South Korean team:

"Thief!"

"waste!"

"Rubbish!!!"
