“What a poor bunch of fans. They have no idea they’re just being used,” Levi muttered to himself as he looked at the crowds of fans below the helicopter.
What a bunch of simpletons.
“They’re so wrong for using their fans against us! They know that if we do anything to get rid of them, it’ll affect us terribly,” Floyd said urgently after seeing Levi.
Floyd was also extremely smart, but he was helpless when it came to things like this.
It wasn’t like he could beat them up.
There were almost a hundred thousand fans filling up the port by the time Levi arrived.
Almost every inch of the port was filled with eager fans.
The moment Levi arrived, so did the cruise carrying the celebrities and influencers.
The passengers on the cruise looked down upon the port as they arrived.
The moment their eyes landed upon the crowds of fans, they smiled knowingly.
Xion and Sadie, who were leading the pack of celebrities, were even more ecstatic.
“See? Our plan worked, right?”
The idea for their fans to come and greet them had been Xion and Sadie’s idea.
The more fans arrived, the less Erudia could penalize them.
That was why they made sure all their fans knew they were returning before they arrived.
They had even invited a bunch of internationally recognized reporters to join them on the cruise.
That way, even if Erudia dared to chase them out, the reporters would instantly make news of it.
Indeed, they really were pretty smart.
They had prepared all of this just so Erudia couldn’t kick them out.
After everything that they had planned, Erudia could only allow them to enter and return their identities as citizens of Erudia.
They could continue to earn money off Erudia and enjoy their high positions in society.
With all this, they could forget about ever having left Erudia.
Bang!
The cruise finally stopped against the port.
The fans started to cheer like crazy.
How could they not cheer at the sight of all their idols and celebrities in front of them?
The fans all tried to rush forward, but luckily Floyd had the foresight to make sure there were people blocking them from running into the port.
Still, that was all they could do—block them.
If anything happened, these fans might lose control.
There was no way they could be stopped if it came to that.
“Xion!”
“Sadie!”
“Welcome back!”
“Welcome! You’re finally back!”
“Erudia’s doors will always be open for you! Always!”
The fans started yelling and cheering in a frenzy. It began to look as if they would bite the heads off of anyone who tried to stop their idols from entering the country.
It was a rather impressive sight to see all hundred thousand fans cheering at the same time.
Floyd and the others had no way of doing anything apart from blocking the fans from mobbing their idols.
Things were much worse than they had imagined.
If they only began to tell them “no”, these fans could very well gobble them up.
They would also be negatively impacted by the news of this getting out.
After stopping at the port, Xion and the other celebrities allowed the reporters to get off the cruise first.
“This is Bayview’s number one tabloid and media company!”
“We are Adrune’s largest media and news company!”
The reporters started introducing themselves the moment they got off the cruise and started setting up their equipment so they could stream everything live.
“What…”
Floyd felt his head begin to throb at the ridiculous sight.
It looked like they wouldn’t even have the chance to complete a proper blockade unless they got rid of all those reporters.
But that just wasn’t plausible.
Things had truly gotten out of hand.
Floyd clenched his fists tightly. “This isn’t a good situation for us. We don’t even have a solution for it right now.”
Right then, Xion and the other celebrities started getting off the cruise.
“Who said you could come down here? Screw off back to where you belong!”
