Reborn with Nothing but My Farm and Vengeance in the Apocalypse novel Chapter 469

Chapter 469: Chapter 469

Frank York was in his bedroom on the phone, arguing with customer service from the video platform.

He just couldn’t understand why his "Temporary Shelter series" of videos had been taken down from the entire internet. Nothing like this had ever happened before!

Most of his account’s content centered on conflict and controversy. To stir up drama and attract views, he had posted many risqué videos that pushed the boundaries, yet none had ever been removed.

Compared to his previous posts, the "Temporary Shelter series" wasn’t even that risqué. But now they were gone from every platform, and Frank York had no idea which powerhouse he had offended!

It wasn’t until the moment he saw Tristan Tanner and Melody Summers show up at his door that he slowly realized what had gone wrong...

Officer Tristan Tanner had Frank York and Chloe Sharp rewatch the video, then said with a grim expression, "This is slander and defamation. You’re smearing a public official!"

Hearing this, Chloe Sharp’s eyes flickered, her expression shifting uncertainly.

Then, under Officer Tanner’s stern gaze, she lowered her head guiltily and muttered, "Officer, the account is registered under my boyfriend’s name, and he’s the one who actually controls it... I didn’t know about the things he posted... This has nothing to do with me..."

Melody Summers snorted. "So much for being a happy couple," she muttered sarcastically. "When things get rough, you just fly your separate ways."

Beside her, Frank York’s face flushed red as he instinctively tried to argue, "How is that slander? Did you even investigate? Everything I said is true! That woman really did kill two innocent people!"

Officer Tanner frowned at him and said gravely, "We’ve already questioned the people who were present at the time. They all said the two individuals who were killed were attempting to attack someone with a knife. They were hardly the ’innocent people’ you claim they were!"

A whole crowd of building residents were there. They could all testify for Winnie Summers. Frank couldn’t just twist the facts with a few words.

Frank still wouldn’t give up. He mumbled, "...Maybe they’re all in on it together... Maybe that woman bribed them all..."

Frank was banking on the fact that there were no surveillance cameras at the scene and that his video was the only recording. He was trying to muddy the waters again.

But Officer Tanner wasn’t buying it. He slammed his hand on the table and roared, "Enough! Stop this shameless arguing! Do you really think that’s going to work? You used an edited video to smear a public official and stir up social conflict. If it weren’t for the current special circumstances, you’d already be locked up!"

Frank seemed a little frightened, but he remained stubborn. "...B-But I didn’t fabricate anything... The videos aren’t AI-generated... It all really happened..."

As he said this, he started to lose his own confidence. He snuck a glance at Officer Tanner’s darkening expression and didn’t dare say another word.

Officer Tanner snorted coldly. "The video might be real," he said in a low voice, "but you deliberately edited it and paired it with text that severely distorts the facts. You tried to mislead the public and intentionally manipulate public opinion. Your actions are illegal. What more is there to argue about!"

Hearing Officer Tanner’s reprimand, Frank knew he was in the wrong. He hung his head and fell silent.

He never expected things to escalate this far. His account had gotten its start by creating controversial content. He had attacked many popular celebrities. After his account pivoted, he attacked many other famous people. He had smeared so many individuals, but the police had never come knocking on his door before. He hadn’t expected this time to be different.

’Could it be because the target of my slander this time was a public official?’ Frank wondered.
