Chapter 1922: Smart, Really Smart

When Wolfgang heard this, he knew that Argyll Hanson had some ideas. He quickly said, “You’ve always been smarter than me. Tell me, what do you want to do? I’ll listen to you.”
Argyll Hanson looked up at Wolfgang. “I’m going to hype this up.”
“Doesn’t your family have some control over the media?”
“I hope that these media outlets can work together and hype this all over the internet.”
Wolfgang immediately took out his phone and called a professional manager who was in charge of related industries under his family name. “It’s a small matter.”
“What happens after the matter is exposed and hyped up?”
“Are you going to use the entire internet to denounce and pressure the Office of Personnel in Fog City?”
“No, pressure from public opinion can only be effective on small matters. It’s useful against some small nobles, but it’s useless against people like Earl William.” Argyll Hanson shook his head.
“Then why did you ask me to do this…” Wolfgang was confused.
“All I want is a reputation.” Argyll Hansheng’s eyes flashed with wisdom. “There’s an old saying in the Dragon Country, ‘If the name is not right, then there is no logic.'”
“What Philip and Earl William did today has indirectly harmed our interests, but it has nothing to do with us on the surface. Even if we are unhappy now, we shouldn’t interfere.”
“However, once this matter is known by everyone, everyone’s anger will be ignited. Some of them will mention that Earl William’s actions have brought shame to all the noble families. Then, we will have a good reason to follow him and put pressure on the Office of Personnel in Fog City.”
“I see.” Wolfgang finally understood Argyll Hanson’s meaning. He gave him a thumbs up and said, “This move is indeed good.”
“Just you wait. I’ll call my subordinates and tell them to report the news immediately and hype it up. At the same time, I’ll arrange for some Internet trolls to spread the news to all the nobles.”
“Sure. This time, I will not only make that scum Philip sit in prison for a long time, but I will also make Earl William suffer.” Argyll Hanson nodded.
Not long after the two of them plotted, the news was quickly reported by some of the most influential media in the Sun Never Sets Empire.
[Shocking! The descendant of Earl William failed to pursue a girl and did such a thing in public?!]
[Take a quick look before it’s deleted. It’s related to Earl William and his favorite junior!]
[The secrets that you don’t know about Earl William and his favorite descendant, Philip! 99% of men will be silent when they see it, and women will cry when they see it!]

Moreover, these media outlets had a deep understanding of the essence of communication. The headlines and accompanying pictures were very eye-catching.
In just a short while, it had attracted the attention of countless netizens. They knew about what Philip had done to pursue Xue Li and what he had done after he failed to pursue Xue Li. They also knew about Philip’s notorious deeds and how many times his grandfather, Earl William, had helped him clean up his mess.
Instantly, countless citizens of the Sun Never Sets Empire were enraged.
“This is simply appalling!”
“You’re using the laws of the Empire as toilet paper to wipe your ass!”
“What’s the difference between such a person and a beast?!”
“Earl William protected such a beast again and again and helped him to calm the situation?!”
“Is such a person worthy of being a noble?”
“Or have the nobles of the Empire of the Sun Never Sets fallen to such a state?”
“If we don’t deal with these people, it won’t be enough to appease the public!”
“It’s best to investigate the other noble families of the Sun Never Sets Empire and see if there are any similar situations!”
“This group of people is too powerful. They have no respect for the law!”
“…”
Without any surprise, the related topics and news directly became the hottest topic in the internet world of the Empire.
