Her Celestial Farm on the Scrapyard Planet (by Kay Lucas) novel Chapter 311

Chapter 311 Freedom of Speech

Then a wave of burning shame rushed up his face, turning even the tips of his ears bright red.

Zeke felt countless eyes locking onto him at once. Shock, doubt, judgment, calculation, and a faint, ugly sense of glee hidden among them.

He was born into a military family. His grandfather was a general in the Fifth Military, a background that carried real power in the kingdom.

But since birth, his mental power had stayed at a weak C–level.

In a family that valued strength above everything, especially mental power, he had always been seen as the weak one, overlooked, constantly compared to others, and quietly pitied.

Years of suppression and frustration had slowly pushed him toward the opposite path.

Since he couldn’t find confidence or value in real life, he turned to the online world instead, letting himself do whatever he wanted. He followed crowds, mocked others, and attacked anyone already being targeted -especially people who seemed weaker than him. It gave him a twisted, short burst of pride and attention.

From the moment Elizabeth married Cristian, to when her past scandals were dug up, to when Seafarm Group secretly stirred trouble and smeared the farm, Zeke had almost always rushed forward as one of the first attackers online.

He threw the harshest insults at Elizabeth, calling her shameless and scheming. He mocked the farm as a scam on Garbage Planet and laughed at it as a cheap stunt for attention. He liked every post that insulted the farm and went wild in the comments, sneering at everything he could.

He never thought it mattered. Wasn’t that just how the internet worked?

If everyone did the same thing, then nobody should be punished. That was freedom of speech!

Deep down, he even felt a twisted thrill, as if tearing down this woman–the one rumored to have married into wealth only to fall back into the dirt–somehow proved that he wasn’t completely useless.

He never once imagined that the vicious words he typed behind his holographic screen would one day be exposed so clearly in public, judged openly, and turned back on him in such a humiliating way.

He had been rejected face–to–face in front of everyone and permanently banned from a farm by the very person he had mocked without holding back!

“Y–You’re talking nonsense!” Zeke finally snapped, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. His voice rose sharply, shaking with panic and shame.

He pointed a trembling finger at Fiona. “Th–Those were just random comments! Isn’t that how things work online? Kingdom law protects free speech! What I say online is my right! Who gave you the right to stop me from entering because of that? You’re breaking my freedom! You’re abusing private power! This is discrimination!”

He shouted the words loudly, sounding fierce on the outside but empty inside, clinging to the idea of “free

speech” like it was his last lifeline.

That was the same excuse he and many others like him always used when they caused chaos online.

His face burned red, veins standing out along his neck, but his eyes kept shifting away. The guilt inside him made it impossible to meet Fiona’s calm, steady gaze.

Fiona listened quietly through his entire outburst. She showed no anger or offense. Only after he ran qu of breath did she respond, her voice still calm and clear.

“Mr. Zeke, you’re mixing up two different matters. Kingdom law protects citizens‘ right to/free speech in public spaces. However, it also clearly states that this right can’t be used for defamation, insults, or malicious attacks. The farm hasn’t filed legal charges against your online behavior. That falls under the law’s authority.
