Novel Full 121 Attack on Sky
Shui fell back on her bed as soon as she reached home. She let out a deep breath, her heart aching to see Grandma Liu in such a sickly state. She wiped the corner of her eyes, twinkling with her tear drops.
She knew the purpose behind Jun’s visit and the reason for his silence too. But everything became even more complicated now.
A furious stream of dings made her jolt up. She unlocked her phone and saw that it was Warlord continuously messaging Reading Point’s chat.
She facepalmed.
This man…
[Warlord – Hey hey hey! I heard some awesome news! It’s about the Author’s Summit that is going to be held on 14th February! Hohoho! And guess what? My Goddess is participating in the Summit!]
He then entered a string of proud and happy emojis.
Shui tilted her head.
[HS – On Valentine’s?]
[Mimic – That’s just perfect for female authors isn’t it?]
[Sandrios – Oh cool! I am excited!]
Valentine’s…
In normal circumstances, Jun would have planned a date to celebrate this day..
[LumiosZ – It will be interesting to see new entries.]
[GotoHell – Will MissImperfectlyFine be participating too?]
There was silence in the chat.
Shui didn’t understand why it felt so awkward. She wasn’t always active on Reading Point. From Jun, she already knew that MissImperfectlyFine was a talented author.
But then it struck her. She also read the news that Sky pressed charges against her. Naturally, it wouldn’t have happened without Jun’s consent.
This is really so shocking, she thought. I have seen him read her books so many times. Her books are even there in his own library which means he respects her talent.
[Candywoman – Don’t even talk about it! She is a cheater!]
[Sandrios – She plagiarized someone’s novel and still has the guts to be on this server!]
[Warlord – Hey, Hey calm down. I might not read her books, but I feel she cannot cheat like this.]
Suddenly, the chat became too active and readers came popping out cursing MissImperfectlyFine. They even pinged her, dissing her like crazy.
But despite all that fury, some of her loyal readers still came to defend her.
[I trust my favorite author! MissImperfectlyFine can never cheat!]
[Yes! @MissImperfectlyFine Don’t worry at all! I support you!]
[Hmph! Just you see! She will win this Author’s Summit!]
One of CherryBlossom’s fans retorted.
[How? By stealing another’s story again?]
[She is not a cheater!]
[Sky even gave the proof you blind!]
[Okay, let’s bet who will win! It will be CherryBlossom versus MissImperfectlyFine! Obviously, my money’s on CherryBlossom!]
[I believe in MissImperfectlyFine! She will definitely win this!]
Just then, a notification popup came from CherryBlossom’s official social media accounts. It read as-
‘I know there are some serious allegations against my fellow author, MissImperfectlyFine. But I take this chance to put forth my stand. MissImperfectlyFine is not just a writer from the same company as I. We are best friends. I know her better and longer than Sky and all of you who are defaming her. She is the most honest and sincerest person I know. I feel incredibly lucky to have a best friend like her. No matter what, I stand by her side. She is not a cheater. That’s all.’
There was a stunned silence for a long time, but it soon exploded by a fury of comments.
‘CherryBlossom has spoken!’
‘So they are best friends?’
‘Well…if she says so, then I will believe MissImperfectlyFine.’
‘Yeah my Goddess will never stand on a cheater’s side!’
Shui opened her direct message window and dropped a message to Warlord. Among all the readers and members, only he seemed to be calm about this despite being CherryBlossom’s fan. Over the course of time, Warlord was the only member of the group to become good friends with her.
[HS – I saw CherryBlossom’s message.]
[Warlord – Yes my Goddess has spoken! Hahaha! Now all MissImperfectlyFine’s haters will be shut off!]
She smiled.
[HS – You are a nice person. You don’t like her books, but you are not being mean about this.]
[Warlord – Well that doesn’t mean I will jump on her to humiliate her *shrugs*]
But it’s so shocking to see this charge against her.
Shui nodded and typed.
‘Yeah. Even Jun-‘
She widened her eyes and quickly erased Jun’s name.
I am still not used to calling Jun by his username, she shook her head.
[HS – MrPerfect is also extremely furious at MissImperfectlyFine *sigh* Even though he has read her books so many times.]
There was a long pause.
[Warlord – …]
[Huh, huh, huh!? You say as if you know personally know him?]
Shui raised her brow.
[HS – I do.]
[Warlord – Whaaaaaaat!? I never knew this! You know my best buddy? My best bro!? So unfair! You two chatted like you didn’t even know each other!]
He let out a string of shock emojis.
]HS – We had our reasons. But MrPerfect is a very good friend of mine.]
He will cry even more if I say that he is my childhood friend and was my boyfriend, Shui thought.
[Warlord – Damn!!! We are best buddies! You shouldn’t have hidden it from meeeee!]
Her mouth twitched.
I don’t think Jun treats you as his best buddy though…
[Warlord – And here I wanted to meet him on the signing event day! If I knew earlier, I would have asked you to butter him up!]
“…”
This man…is hopeless!

The direction had changed. The events had taken a steep and a sharp turn after CherryBlossom’s statement. Her army of readers began to attack Sky for defaming MissImperfectlyFine.
Her readers were so loyal to her that they knew she wouldn’t take anybody’s side who was a cheater and liar. Charging on Sky was inevitable.
But apart from this ongoing slaughter of the massive reader community against Sky, another threat had already knocked on its door.
Late at night, Jun received a call from Yunru. Even through the ringtone that sounded as usual, Jun sensed an urgency behind. He thought that it was related to the CherryBlossom’s readers attacking Sky, but the news that awaited him was something else.
“Bro!”
Jun said, “I will deal with CherryBlossom’s readers tomorrow,” the air was already icy just like his deep gaze.
“It’s not about her readers! It’s our app where our readers read webnovels and webcomics. It has crashed!”
