The key point is that the Black Ghost race is extrely inferior.
Not only plagued with "X" diseases, but they also have a particular fondness for promiscuity, drugs, theft, robbery, and brawling.
In their eyes, there’s no such thing as law; they act recklessly and capriciously.
Statistics show that ever since this group invaded Gakanda, the cri rate and "X" disease infection numbers in Gakanda have been soaring each year, setting new records.
Eventually, they couldn’t even bring themselves to keep track.
Such deplorable behavior had long made netizens utterly fed up with them!
Now, at last, a spirited man had stood up to face a Black Ghost head-on and had even accidentally killed him in the ring.
Of course, it was an accident!
This undoubtedly acted like a shot in the arm and a calming pill for the netizens.
All the anger they had accumulated over years poured out at this mont.
Many viewers even started treating Zhang Beixing as an idol after watching.
And now, such a universally acclaid, spirited idol,
for accidentally killing a Black Ghost during a match, was taken into the police station for an investigation, possibly even facing imprisonnt.
How could the netizens accept that?
Public opinion exploded. Netizens flocked to the Shishi police station’s comnt section, petitioning for Zhang Beixing and expressing their indignation.
"Heilongjiang Province netizens spontaneously co forth to vouch for Brother Zhang. This killing was purely accidental, completely in line with mixed martial arts rules and legal regulations. We hope Shishi police can discern the truth and handle this leniently. I am willing to take responsibility for my statent!"
"Xijiang Province netizens spontaneously co forth to vouch for Zhang Beixing. This death was purely accidental, completely in line with mixed martial arts rules. We hope Shishi police can discern the truth and handle this leniently!"
"Dongshan Province netizens spontaneously co forth..."
Comnts like these abounded, and each received a high number of likes, pushing them to the top comnts!
At this ti, several new ssages ca through, quickly climbing the trending searches and adding more fuel to the fire!
It was the international response to this incident!
But unlike the dostic pleas for leniency,
what ca from abroad were accusations!
WBA Official Facebook Account: "We are deeply saddened by the misfortune that befell our forr WBA champion, Gloris Grenof, in Great Xia. After repeated confirmation by professionals, we can assert that Zhang Beixing’s actions were intentional homicide, not accidental! Moreover, nurous Black mbers of WBA events have already filed complaints with us regarding this matter. On behalf of our many Black fighting mbers, the WBA strongly condemns Zhang Beixing and demands a public apology for his inappropriate comnts! Otherwise, please repatriate Gloris Grenof’s remains imdiately!"
Caroon’s Envoy to Great Xia: "Wanton murder, verbal abuse—is this how Great Xia treats its guests? We in Caroon will not allow our citizens to suffer such unfair treatnt abroad. Zhang Beixing must publicly apologize for his words and behavior! Otherwise, we will pursue accountability to the end!"
Seeing these two official international responses,
the netizens declared their blood pressure had skyrocketed!
What the hell, they were really pushing their luck, weren’t they? When that Gloris was strutting around arrogantly in Great Xia, even crippling several of our martial arts teachers under the guise of matches, you all kept your mouths shut. Now, as soon as Gloris dies, you all pop up making a fuss. Did we give you too much leeway? Do you really think Great Xia is a pushover? And that damned WBA? A re foreign fighting organization sticking its nose where it doesn’t belong! Who do you think you are?
The furious netizens bypassed the firewall, swarming the comnt sections of these two official accounts with harsh criticism.
Just then, DING—
"Your followed strear: Official dia Daily has started broadcasting—go and show your support!"
A notification popped up at the top of the phone.
So imdiately ignored it, while others, with trembling hands, clicked on it.
Those who had accidentally clicked into the live stream were about to exit,
but once they saw the situation inside, their eyes were glued to the screen.
In the live stream,
Zhang Beixing sat properly before the cara, with an official dia journalist beside him.
The setting was easily discernible as a police interrogation room. However, Zhang Beixing was not considered a criminal suspect, so he was not under the usual restraints.
The official dia journalist looked at Zhang Beixing and asked, "Mr. Zhang, hello. I am Bingbing, a reporter from Official dia Daily. There’s a huge uproar online right now; what are your thoughts on it?"
Zhang Beixing leaned into the microphone and replied respectfully, "I view this calmly and thank the netizens for their concern. My presence here at the police station is rely for a routine check to determine the degree of accidental involvent. Please, refrain from making rash statents impulsively. The internet is not a lawless place. Trust in our country. Whatever the outco, I will accept it."
"Mr. Zhang, you seem quite magnanimous. While you’ve been under investigation, another matter has surfaced online. Both the official WBA account and the envoy from Caroon have issued statents. They demand a public apology from you for your previous remarks and for the death in the ring. They also indicated that after your apology, they might consider accepting the subsequent handling of the case by our police. What are your thoughts on this?"
As she spoke, the reporter gave Zhang Beixing a subtle wink, its aning perfectly clear. The stage had been set, offering Zhang Beixing a chance to act humbly and express regret for the accident during the match—even an insincere apology would do—to lessen the public outcry and appease international criticism.
Officer White also coughed lightly, reminding Zhang Beixing that the opportunity was at hand: apologize, admit the accidental death was his mistake, appear contrite, and thereby quell the international condemnation.
However, upon hearing this question, Zhang Beixing was visibly taken aback.
Clearly, he hadn’t expected this matter to escalate to an international level so quickly. But then again, the Black Ghost was a well-known figure in top-tier international competitions. His sudden death, especially abroad, was bound to create a huge impact. So, this public outcry was destined to be significant. After all, even the WBA, an international top-tier event with popularity comparable to the NBA, and the Black Ghost’s ho country had stepped in. It seed this issue wouldn’t be resolved easily. They probably wouldn’t let him off the hook lightly.
Yet, Zhang Beixing showed no emotional turbulence. How could he possibly bow his head in fear? He was never that kind of person!
Zhang Beixing sneered at the cara. "Apologize? Do they even deserve it?"
Before the reporter or Officer White could react to their sudden shock, Zhang Beixing continued defiantly towards the cara, "Apologizing is out of the question. Anyone who is dissatisfied or not afraid to die is welco to challenge . I’ll take on every single one of them."
"Rember, the Martial Artists of Great Xia will not be insulted!"
