Alan turned his back on me and went straight back to training, as if even looking at me again would be a waste.

The door to the diplomatic etiquette training room closed behind me. In that massive room, I was suddenly alone.

I walked up to the mirror on the wall and stared at myself. My face was twisted with anger, and I felt utterly humiliated.

I had taken the initiative, shown goodwill, and offered a deal. And all I got in return was his cold rejection and disdain.

“Alan, if you make me feel miserable, don’t expect to stay comfortable either.”

Resentment and malice surged in my eyes. I pulled out my phone and quickly dialed a number, my voice cold and sharp. “Jack, I’ve got some explosive news to sell you.”

Jack was a well-known political scandal broker in Howlstead. The moment he heard that, his tone lit up with excitement. “Oh? Which big shot is unlucky enough to catch your eye this time?”

I stared at my twisted reflection and spat slowly, Alan Ortega.”

The moment the name left my mouth, Jack went quiet.

“Someone from the Eclipse Pack? I can’t mess with that. Their background is deep, and their PR team is top-tier. They strike back hard, too. If they come after me later, I won’t survive it.”

My expression darkened. I forced my anger down and snapped back, “What, even you’re scared?”

“It’s not fear. It’s risk versus reward,” Jack replied calmly, though curiosity slipped into his voice. “Still, I’m interested. What do you actually have that could shake Alan?”

That was enough to tell me he was hooked.

A cold, calculating smile spread across my face. Enough to ruin his future in the Foreign Affairs Department. Career over. The real question is whether you’ve got the nerve to drop it and take the money.”

Jack fell silent for a few seconds, clearly calculating.

I quoted a hefty figure. He agreed right away. Not long after we hung up, the money hit my account. I sent him the backup copies of the photos immediately.

Eight o’clock at night was peak traffic time on Howlstead’s public info platform.

Right then, a wave of photos showing Alan with mysterious girl at a hospital, and later driving her to campus, was released simultaneously by multiple accounts.

Within minutes, three hashtags shot to the top of the trending list, occupying the first three spots. They painted the story as Alan’s dirty private life, a secret hospital meeting, and damage to the diplomatic image.

The photos spread fast, paired with aggressive captions hinting at an improper relationship and even making up stories about him forcing a girl into private medical treatment.

As people saw it, the comment sections exploded.

[Is this real? Alan is supposed to be a role model in the Foreign Affairs Department. How disappointing!]

[My beliefs are shattered! A diplomat with a life his messy? How can he represent Howlstead? Kick him out now!]

[Wow, a total hypocrite. Acting all proper while doing this behind closed doors. That poor girl-she must’ve been taken advantage of!]

[So what if the Ortegas are powerful? If you mess up, you pay the price. Someone like this doesn’t belong in the Foreign Affairs Department. Full investigation now!]

In just minutes, the comments were buried under waves of hate. Almost all of them were attacking and condemning Alan.

I watched the endless stream of comments roll by and couldn’t stop the smug smile on my face.

[Alan, this is the price of going against me. The higher you climb, the harder you fall!]
