Chapitre 57: Uniting For the First Time

The discussion online continued even after the livestream ended. In fact, it became even more heated as more people watched the video recording afterwards.

It was also at this moment that the Black Stars fan club demonstrated the early signs of its impressive unity.

iHateIrisLong: "Iris Long sucks! Don't be blinded by her recent performances. She's just having some good luck. It won't last. Don't forget what a b*tch, a sl*t, and a wh*re she is."

CaptainBlackStar: "Die, you evil demon!"

iEatSlippers: "Shut up, b*tch! You want a taste of my slippers? I'll shove them down your throat. I hope you choke. Damn b*tch."

Administrator: "The user of the account @iHateIrisLong is temporarily suspended due to an excessive number of reports by other users. We are currently reviewing your account for violations.

iEatSlippers: "Heh. This is the power of my slippers. It can ward off evil."

iStillHateIrisLong: "F*ck you all! You think a simple account suspension can stop me? Wake up, losers. Iris Long will always be a b*tch! A sl*t! A wh*re! You're all stupid sh*t for following a dirty sl*t like her! F*ck you!"

CaptainBlackStar: "Comrades, attack!"

All the members of the newly-formed Black Stars fan club immediately swarmed around and virtually beat the account user "iStillHateIrisLong" black and blue until the administrator suspended this account again.

iEatSlippers: "Come on, bastards and b*tches! Come at us and I'll whack you all with my mighty slippers!"

iHateIrisLongForever: "F*ck you, you motherf*ckers! What Black Stars? More like Iris Long's dirty and smelly dogs! You don't know sh*t! You have sh*t for brains! You should all be buried along with that sl*t Iris Long!"

CaptainBlackStar: "What a persistent cockroach."

iEatSlippers: "Taste my slippers, b*tch!"

"User @MrsLovePhantom reported @iHateIrisLongForever to the administrator."

"User @JJNumber1Fan reported @iHateIrisLongForever to the administrator."

"User @JJNumber2Fan reported @iHateIrisLongForever to the administrator."

"User @JJNumber3Fan reported @iHateIrisLongForever to the administrator."

The administrator suspended this account again.

@iHateIrisLongForeverAndEver: "Ahahaha! You can never stop me, stupid motherf*ckers! As long as I live and have internet access, Iris Long's name will never be clean online. I'm not afraid of you, you Black Sh*tters!"

CaptainBlackStar: "What a vengeful evil demon."

iEatSlippers: "My mighty slippers aren't enough to whack this cockroach to death. Let me call some reinforcements."

"User @MrsLovePhantom reported @iHateIrisLongForeverAndEver to the administrator."

"User @JJNumber1Fan reported @iHateIrisLongForeverAndEver to the administrator."

"User @JJNumber2Fan reported @iHateIrisLongForeverAndEver to the administrator."

"User @JJNumber3Fan reported @iHateIrisLongForeverAndEver to the administrator."

As expected, this account got suspended again. The Black Stars members expected another account to pop up again, but surprisingly the peace wasn't disturbed this time. Moments later, a new user explained why.

MonkeyFace: "Brother @iEatSlippers, everything's done. That person won't be able to create new accounts and bother you for the time being."

iEatSlippers: "Thanks, bro. I'll treat you sometime."

CaptainBlackStar: "Thank you, brother @MonkeyFace. But what did you do?"

iEatSlippers: "He's my friend, my bro. He's an expert with computers and that kind of stuff."

CaptainBlackStar: "Oh, I understand now. Thank you! Brother @MonkeyFace, are you interested in joining our Black Stars fan club? It will be great to have a computer expert like you in our ranks."

MonkeyFace: "Sure, I'll join. I'm free, anyway. And my brother @iEatSlippers is also a member, so why not? Looks interesting."

CaptainBlackStar: "Awesome! Please accept my friend request."

The founder of the Black Stars, CaptainBlackStar, created a private group chat with the newly signed up members to discuss the formal establishment of the fan club. Soon, everyone called him Captain and voted him as the fan club's President. iEatSlippers was voted as the Vice-President. Some members objected to his nomination because they remembered him as an Iris Long critic, bordering on a hater, before. However, he accepted his new post with gusto, waving his virtual slippers in triumph, proclaiming that he was now an Iris fan. The complainers could only grumble to themselves after this. MrsLovePhantom and her three friends were voted as the PR Officers, with MrsLovePhantom as their leader and the fan club's official spokesperson. MonkeyFace was also appointed as the Chief IT Officer.

MrsLovePhantom and her three friends promised to provide the initial funding to formally establish the Black Stars fan club. They also promised to contact Iris Long's management to ask for recognition as Iris' official fan club.

In the meantime, MonkeyFace was tasked to create the fan club's website so that the members could have a permanent home online. With MrsLovePhantom and her three friends' promise of funding, he felt very motivated to create the fan club's website.

Although it was still in its early stages, the Black Stars fan club was officially established. There was so much progress in one day. A bunch of online strangers gathered together to form a fan club that was already displaying such strong sense of unity and organization.

iEatSlippers: "This is all thank to my mighty slippers."

L’AVIS DES CRÉATEURS
ArriaCross

These netizen chapters are important. Also don't forget that Iris is a hacker. The web is an important element in this story.

This chapter also reminded me of my online chat with fellow original webnovel authors. They experienced trolls who made numerous dummy accounts just to leave 1-star ratings in their awesome novels, dragging down their overall ratings. So unfair. I haven't experienced this yet (I'm praying I never will). This just shows the sh*t on the Internet.

Chapitre 58: Rather Die Than Apologize

While Iris Long was having a blast working that day, her self-proclaimed mortal enemies were livid at her, cursing her with all their might.

Alarm Girls' company-issued apartment.

A heavy ceramic vase crashed loudly against the wall, breaking into several sharp pieces before falling to the floor. A lampshade and a bunch of ripped entertainment magazines promptly followed it, forming a mangled mess of broken things.

The living room was in total disarray. It looked like a savage beast went wild and tore the entire place upside down.

Furious shrieks and roars from the apartment frightened away the birds in the area and alarmed passersby, making them think that a bad case of domestic violence was occurring.

Some of them wanted to report it to the police, but their companions stopped them, saying that it was none of their business and it was better not to interfere with other households' private matters. Others with more creative imaginations, upon hearing the female shrieks, had images of depraved rituals running through their minds with lots of ropes, leathers, and whips.

There were still a few responsible and concerned citizens, however, who still called the police to check what was happening.

Inside the chaotic apartment, three girls looked like crazed, bloodthirsty hyenas.

"There is absolutely no way that we're going to apologize to that sl*t!" Wanwan threw the TV remote next. Fortunately, it was in a rubber cover. Otherwise, it would share the same fate as the poor broken things on the floor.

She turned red in anger, her chest heaving, as she picked up whatever stuff near her and threw them forcefully against the wall and the floor. She screamed and shrieked like an evil demon about to slaughter humanity.

Mimi: "Yeah! Leader's right! Who wants to apologize to that sl*t?!"

Feifei crossed her arms across her chest, her hands closed into tight fists until her fingers dug painfully onto her palms. She felt so furious that she was trembling.

Their manager avoided the broken debris on the floor, waving a letter in the air and showing it to the three girls. "You have no choice. The company issued you an order. Either you give an official apology to Iris Long or you'll find your resources taken away."

His words made the three girls even more enraged.

Wanwan: "What kind of manager are you?! You didn't even say anything in our defence?!"

Mimi: "Yeah! What kind of manager are you?! Useless!"

Feifei: "You just let everyone bully us!"

'Who's bullying who?' The manager grumbled to himself.

He took deep breaths, trying to contain his anger. The Alarm Girls were his biggest source of income after all. He just had to endure until he finds a better money tree than these three b*tches. It was just his bad luck that he was assigned to manage such unreasonable b*tches like them.

He didn't feel like a manager at all. More like their servant and a punching bag with no human rights. He frequently had thoughts of quitting but as someone with little guts, he tended to endure slights to his person rather than to stand up for himself.

The girls weren't like this before. They were hardworking and sincere. Their innocent eyes lit up with dreams of success. It was only when they started competing against Iris Long that their personalities began warping into such ugly she-devils. As a result, he also blamed Iris Long a little for his misfortune. He knew that he was being unreasonable for feeling this way, but he just couldn't help it. After all, he was the one who had to suffer the three b*tches' abuse on a daily basis.

Gritting his teeth, he forced the anger down. He hated these three b*tches, but he also hated himself for putting up with them. However, he couldn't give them up.

Losing them was akin to losing money. Of course the Alarm Girls couldn't compare to the big stars, but they enjoyed decent popularity and were in a much better position than complete newbies. He would hold on to these three b*tches and their skinny thighs, until luck gives him a better and bigger thigh to hug someday.

"This is not the time to be stubborn. The company is serious this time. Both Bright Summit and 'MusicFest Tonight' lodged complaints to the company," he explained. "If you still refuse to apologize, don't expect to be invited to the show again. It's just a simple apology. Just give it and be done with it."

Wanwan: "Shut up! What simple apology?! Over my dead body! I will never give that b*tch the satisfaction of seeing us apologize to her!"

Mimi: "Yeah! I'd rather die than apologize to someone like her!"

Feifei: "Hmph!"

The manager sighed. He knew that reasoning with the girls was pointless, but he had to go through the motions so the company couldn't fault him for not doing a proper job. He already warned and explained the consequences to them. He already did his job and was satisfied with himself.

He walked over and placed the letter on the low table in front of the couch. "Think about the consequences of going against the company orders. I hope that you'll be more clearheaded tomorrow. I'll take my leave now."

"Aaaaaah!" Wanwan screamed when the manager closed the door behind him, leaving the three alone in the messy living room. She grabbed the letter and tore it angrily into many pieces. "Iris Long, you b*tch! This is all your fault!"

Sounds of crashing and shrieking echoed once again inside the apartment.

Later, the police knocked on the door. The three girls gave them the ridiculous excuse of doing a late spring cleaning while practicing their vocal skills.

The officer was doubtful, but since no one was hurt, he could only warn them before leaving while shaking his head.

"That was scary," Mimi said after the police left.

"Who called the police?" Feifei asked.

"We're getting into all kinds of trouble because of that Iris! This is all her fault!" Wanwan, of course, blamed everything on their mortal enemy, regardless of whether it made sense or not.
