NOVEL NEXT Chapter 419: I, the Son of Destiny!
After all, in his view, he had done nothing wrong, and his voice of questioning had arisen only because he believed the term "True Stone" was definitely a fabrication concocted by Guo Pengzhan in collusion with Wang Ye.
Otherwise, why had he never heard of the term "True Stone"?
At this moment, Professor Lin held his head high, a hint of pride even visible on his face. Although he was being scolded by many, none of that mattered.
After all, he represented the truth!
Next, as long as he stood by his opinion, and once the investigation results came out and no "True Stone" was found to exist, he would be the first in the Dragon Country jewelry industry to dare to challenge authority.
By then, his reputation would see a tremendous boost.
Thinking this, Professor Lin's lips curved into a smile. Initially, Professor Lin thought he would have no place in the Dragon Country jewelry industry from now on, but now he realized this was not the case!
He could, indeed, keep mixing in the Dragon Country jewelry industry, and because he had the courage to speak out and boldly question authority, he would be greatly respected by many people.
Even his name might be recorded in the history of the Dragon Country jewelry industry. It was entirely possible that he would be gloriously remembered by posterity.
With this in mind, the initial expression of fear on Professor Lin's face disappeared, replaced by a confident smile coupled with an unyielding demeanor.
In every move, Professor Lin even exuded a sense of being uniquely sober while everyone else was drunk.
Next, Professor Lin's voice grew even louder, ringing out like a large bell, assertive and powerful, "I have the right to question whether Wang Ye conspired with Guo Pengzhan to fabricate the term 'True Stone' in order to help Wang Ye achieve excellent results in this round of competition!"
"I accuse Guo Pengzhan and Wang Ye of cheating together!"
"I believe that Guo Pengzhan is unworthy of his position and should not be so revered in the Dragon Country jewelry industry. He is nothing but a despicable, shameless scoundrel who has taken advantage of his interests!"
Because of his internal elation and the fantasies in his mind about the bright future this event could bring him, Professor Lin was incredibly inflated when he spoke.
At this moment, Professor Lin felt like a hero.
A hero who would rescue so many around him from their ignorant thoughts!
And as Professor Lin spoke his piece, the entire venue of the Dragon Country Jewelry Competition fell silent in an instant.
The onlookers who had come to watch the event were now silent, regarding Professor Lin with complex expressions.
And the eyes of the bosses of the Dragon Country Jewelry Group, from shock and disbelief at the words coming from Professor Lin's mouth, began to look at him as if they were looking at someone with a brain defect.
Even in the main live broadcast room of the Dragon Country Jewelry Competition and every live broadcast room of the participating Jewelry Group, the barrage of comments vanished instantly, as if the live chat had never had the feature to begin with.
Though there were many people at the scene and many netizens watching in the live broadcast rooms, it was now as quiet as if there were no one there at all.
Wang Ye, looking at Professor Lin with his face full of pride as if he wanted to put his hands on his hips, wanted to retort something, but found that he simply did not know what words to use.
This guy was just too foolish!
And the words that came out of Professor Lin's mouth even made Guo Pengzhan tremble with anger. Guo Pengzhan looked at Professor Lin with a gaze filled with spirit and obstinacy, mingled with anger and frustration.
"Professor Lin,"
the owner of the second-ranking Jewelry Group stood up, the first to break the silence at the venue, "I can prove that the True Stone really exists. It's possible that you are just not aware of it. The True Stone has a characteristic of containing an energy that makes one feel extremely comfortable. You can try touching it now, and you will find that just by touching it, you will feel a very soothing sensation throughout your body."
The owner of the third-ranking Jewelry Group also stood up: "You'll feel as if all the pores in your body are involuntarily opening up, wanting to absorb something from the True Stone."
"This sensation refreshes the spirit and indeed, wearing this True Stone can nourish the body, making it many times healthier."
One after another, heavyweights in the Dragon Country jewelry industry stood up, speaking of the effects of the True Stone on individuals.
And the crowd at the venue, along with netizens in the live broadcast, listening to the words of these authoritative figures, were a bit perplexed.
"So magical? Are these really authoritative figures saying this? Why do I feel like they are like charlatans when they speak of this?"
"You're not alone. I get the same feeling listening to them."
"It sounds too mystical. It's just a True Stone; how could it possibly have such effects? It's simply impossible."
Below the stage and in the live broadcast rooms, there were sounds of doubt. Although they knew that these authoritative people were unlikely to deceive them with their words,
the key issue was that the claims sounded too mystical.
A mere stone that looks a bit nicer could have such effects? Was it not just fooling people?
Wang Ye, seeing both Professor Lin and some of the audience with skeptical expressions, then spoke up:
"If you do not believe it, you can come up and feel for yourself whether this True Stone contains the kind of energy I'm talking about."
As soon as Wang Ye spoke,
Professor Lin immediately headed towards the stage.
A confident smile spread across his face.
Do you think that by putting me to the test, I would be afraid of you?
No, not at all!
I will not only come up for a personal test, but I will also personally reveal your conspiracy, causing all your fame to come crashing down under rumors!
Several onlookers at the venue also started approaching the stage, intending to personally experience it for themselves.
