I am the devil, I only know how to trade.

“I didn’t do it. The death of Shana before had nothing to do with me. She wasn’t worth me personally taking action.” Luo Feng shook his head: “She was just an innocent bystander in this matter. At first, the problem wasn’t big, and both sides were just going back and forth. But after the website investigated, those people didn’t know who they were targeting. They were definitely targeting those who were really in the wrong.”

"Regardless of whether she has problems or not, she was never cleared of wrongdoing before."

This is an undeserved disaster for many authors. Those fanatical fans originally wanted to smear Alice Tria, and if it weren't for those real industry scourges, they would have succeeded. But now it's different. All the authors, readers, and viewers have their eyes on those scourges.

Alice Tria did suffer a bit, but it wasn't a big problem.

Now, seeing the online comments, Altair is finding it hard to bear.

"Can you give me back my power?" Altair stared intently at Luo Feng.

"What do you want to do?" Luo Feng's lips curled into a pleased smile.

"You know without me saying it, right?"

"Alter, no!" Setsuna Shimazaki quickly advised, "I'm already dead. This body is temporary. If you go too far, it will cause trouble."

"No, what's the point of my life if I don't teach them a lesson?"

For Altair, the most important person was Setsuna Shimazaki, who was like a mother to her. Altair couldn't stand seeing people still desecrating her corpse after she was dead, and she wouldn't stand for it.

Even without power, she still wanted to do something for Setsuna Shimazaki.

“I can give you a portion.” Luo Feng casually pulled out a contract: “But not all of it.”

Altair looked at the contract above, which granted her a portion of her former power in exchange for her soul.

This power, though formidable, is not beyond human resistance.

Like Tsukijoin Makan, she would be injured if hit by a bullet, but a large-caliber sniper rifle hitting a vital spot could kill her, and the same goes for Altair.

It can be said that after everyone gained power, they were almost the same as Selesia without her mecha, weakened by more than a little.

Luo Feng thought this was the way to play; if they were too strong and made humans feel helpless, then it wouldn't be fun.

It's like gambling; everyone has a strong hand, so they won't back down and will keep going until the very end.

If it's too bad, just give up.

“Okay.” Altair pressed his handprint.

…………

A hotel room.

Nanase Karin sat there, staring blankly at the screen in front of her, scrolling through comments.

It's all about rhythm; every day online I see nothing but persecution of this person or that person.

She has lost all hope of making a comeback. After working so hard for so long, she was easily led astray and became a disgraced celebrity.

Even if the verdict is overturned, will it make a difference? Will netizens admit they were wrong?

Nanase Karin sighed. She was unwilling, but what could she do about it?

She is now very confused and doesn't know what to do in the future, or whether to hide like this for the rest of her life.

I'll wait until things calm down completely before looking for a normal job...

It's impossible to get over it. As long as you go to work, those nosy colleagues can easily find your dark history.

Moreover, I gave up my studies for my idol's career, which was like gambling with my youth. It seems that I lost the gamble.

dong dong dong.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Hello, deliveryman."

“Express delivery…” Nanase Karin thought for a moment, realizing that she had purchased some daily necessities from Amazon.

She walked to the door, opened it, and saw a man in a black coat standing there, holding a package in his hand.

"Thank you." Nanase Karin signed for it.

"Hey, you're that idol who was super popular before, Nanase Karin, right?" Luo Feng said to her.

"Don't ask any more questions, or I'll file a complaint against you." Nanase Karin paused for a moment, then continued signing.

Luo Feng pushed her aside and went into her room.

"What are you doing?" Nanase Karin exclaimed in surprise, "I'm calling the police!"

She stood at the door, ready to escape at any moment.

"Nothing much, I'm just curious where those once-popular idols live," Luo Feng said with a smile. "The environment is quite nice, but how long can you stay here?"

Luo Feng touched on her sore spot.

Yes, how much longer can I stay?

Her fame didn't last very long. Most idols have a miserable life before they become famous. Some smaller idols can't even afford to eat or drink, and they use the cheapest cosmetics. Several of them squeeze into a small room.

The popularity of Nanase Karin boosted the sales of her previous photobooks, and she earned a lot of money from several events.

However, this is not a long-term solution.

She was confused and didn't know what to do about her future.

"Come in and let's talk." Luo Feng patted the bed and smiled. "I have some suggestions for your future."

Nanase Karin walked in as if possessed, and closed the door behind her.

She kept her phone in her hand, ready to call the police at any moment.

She kept a safe distance from Luo Feng, wanting to see what he was trying to say.

“Actually, you have a very good future to choose from; you can easily make a lot of money,” Luo Feng said.

“Me? It’s impossible for me to continue being an idol now.” Nanase Karin gritted her teeth: “The agency won’t take me anymore. Every time I call, they say they’re trying to find a way, but they’re promoting new idols now. They have better options, options without any dark history.”

"So, that's why." Luo Feng stretched: "You can't go down this road, but when you were popular, you did engage in some revenge spending, eating well, living well, and using the best things, right?"

"Um……"

Many people are like this: they were used to hardship when they had no money and could endure any kind of suffering, but what about when they experienced a better life?

Two weeks can make a person lose their way; very few can maintain their true self.

Nanase Karin was originally an ordinary person, and since she was surrounded by wealthy people and often witnessed their luxurious lifestyles, now that she had finally made it into this circle, asking her to go back to a normal life would be worse than killing her.

"If you want to work normally, it's probably impossible to make a living on that meager salary."

"Even if you completely change your identity, with your current knowledge base, what position can you possibly reach? An annual salary of five million, no, six million, that's about the limit you can achieve in your lifetime, am I right?"

“That’s right…” Nanase Karin felt that even if she went to learn to be a chef and work behind the scenes, she would never become a head chef.

"Your life is basically over," Luo Feng sighed. "This whole thing started because others were jealous of you; they just wanted to climb over you to get ahead. They were certainly wrong, but who responded? It was those ignorant netizens. Your life has been ruined by keyboard warriors."

"I already know all this, you don't need to repeat it to me." Nanase Karin frowned slightly, as if to say, "So you're just here to hurt my feelings?"

"Marry a rich second-generation? Those rich second-generation aren't stupid; idols are just playthings to them." Luo Feng continued, "Especially someone like you with a criminal record."

"Even if you marry the son of a small business owner, he might not even look at you."

"You're not a delivery person." Nanase Karin gripped her phone and the package tightly.

"Do you still want to live this kind of life in the future?" Luo Feng pointed to the furnishings in the room: "You can only make those kinds of movies and work as a hostess in nightclubs."

"What did you say?" Nanase Karin's expression changed: "Don't even think about it!"

"This is the only way out, isn't it?" Luo Feng smiled and said, "Your status as a former superstar idol is still quite advantageous. I'm afraid quite a few people will want to have a go at you."

"With a figure like yours, you'll definitely be loved by countless people. They'll patronize you at nightclubs every day just to spend the night with you."

"If the advertising were better, something like letting normal people experience the thrill of unspoken rules..."

Whoosh!

Snapped!

Luo Feng casually caught the package she tossed to him and smiled, "Can't take it anymore? Believe me or not, you really will go down this path in the future."

"You are a very strong girl, and nothing you are going through has been able to defeat you."

"But people have their limits. The fact that you haven't given up hope yet, that you're still waiting instead of going out to look for a job, means that you're hoping for a one in ten thousand chance that your firm will change its mind."

“Your father is dead, and there are no elderly people in the family for you to rely on.”

"When you run out of money and have no choice but to work, you'll discover just how cruel this society can be."

"You'll encounter some jerks who want to date you but act like they want to marry you."

"You've been taken advantage of and played with for free by them, and you've started to think that it's not so bad to go out and sell yourself, at least you can make money."

"You've given up on yourself, and you keep doing that kind of work just for money."

"What will you do when you turn thirty and no one wants to date you?"

"Stop talking!" Nanase Karin rushed towards Luo Feng like a madwoman, slapping him across the face with her bare hand.

Snapped!

Her hand was gripped by Luo Feng's large, iron-like hand, and then she was easily pressed down onto the bed by Luo Feng.

Luo Feng straddled her, a half-smile on his face, and said, "What, you don't believe me? Then I'll show you your future!"

In an instant, it was as if a carousel was flashing through Nanase Karin's mind.

She saw all the futures that Luo Feng described!

She could feel all of her feelings and the choices she made at that time!

This is really going to happen!

"Waaah..."

Nanase Karin could no longer hold back and burst into tears.

Her cries did not arouse Luo Feng's sympathy, nor did he intend to take her in or give her money to help her out.

If she hadn't squandered her money, the savings she had made right after the incident would have been enough for her to rent a house and open a small shop in a remote city, making her wealthier than the average person.

She cried herself out and gave up struggling.

"I'm here today to give you a choice." Luo Feng released Nanase Karin.

"Choice? What choice..."
