Chapter 118 - 118: Don’t Lose It

Kurt left with a wooden face, like a statue.

Sophia had some sympathy for the boy. He must be frightened. After all, accidents like being robbed were really terrible.

She turned to Adam, who looked a little frightened and had no idea what was going to happen next. Especially when his eyes turned to the boy who was still lying in the corner and could not stand up, he felt the hair all over his body stand up.

"Here you are." Sophia took out the money from her school bag.

The thick tart of money was roughly wrapped up by her in a few sheets of paper. Judging by the thickness, it was about five thousand dollars.

Adam's hand trembled. He was stunned for a long time before slowly reaching for the money. He still couldn't believe his eyes.

Instead of hitting him, Sophia sent him money?

"Kevin gives it to you." Sophia said slowly, "Anyway, he thinks of you as his brother. Your mother may be in jail for a year. If you don't squander the money, it will support you until she gets out of prison."

Adam looked down at the money in his hand.

After the kidnapping, he thought Kevin would resent him and his mother. But he didn't expect that Kevin would worry about his life and ask Sophia to send money to him.

Thinking of what he had done to Kevin, he found the money in his hand so hot that he could almost not bear it.

Sophia saw Adam's eyes turn red, knowing that he might be touched. "Keep it. Don't lose it. I've done what I promised Kevin. I have to go," she smiled.

Adam put the money in his school bag and watched Sophia leave by bike until her figure disappeared at the end of the alley, sighing and turning away.

The online debate over whether "Knowing A Person" was hype, fraud went on for days. Fans and discommenders had gone from argument to scolding, causing Sophia's blog to fall.

Sophia didn't care about it. To her, "Knowing A Person" was just an account where she shared Mitch's life with his fans. Since Mitch wasn't with her, this blog didn't matter much to her.

Fans believed that a test would be enough to know whether KAP could do Sudoku. Amelia could give a sudoku puzzle to see if KAP could work it out. They believed that KAP was by no means the kind of person who coveted a false reputation.

However, discommenders said that sudoku puzzles could be worked out on the computer in less than one minute, and KAP could use a computer program to work it out, so nothing could be verified. The only way was for KAP to show up in person and test on the spot.

When it came to the real person, discommenders began to question whether KAP was, as it said on the blog, a girl. Perhaps… it was a stingy man.

The fans were furious. That was so unreasonable. Why did these discommenders always have excuses? If KAP refused to show up, there was no way to verify whether she could do Sudoku or not.

In response to the question of the chess tournament, discommenders proposed to verify whether "M378" was Mitch Watson.

But fans didn't agree. As fans of KAP, they knew KAP never said "M378" was Mitch Watson. It was just a speculation online. Even if it turned out that "M378" was not Mitch Watson. No one should blame KAP.

However, for the identity of Mitch, there was clear evidence on the Internet.

Diana and Henry posted a series of photos about Mitch as well as records of Diana stay in hospital to prove that the story of Mitch was true.

Diana also wrote a follow-up story about Mitch that people didn't know, sharing the story between her and Henry.

A love story led by a guide dog instantly became a hot topic on the Internet. No one thought that Mitch had such a strange experience.

Instagram, Facebook, and other social platforms retweeted the story of Mitch. Netizens said that they believed in love again.

After that, fans of Mitch had become fans of KAP, which increased millions of followers of KAP in a few days.

The addition of new fans immediately put the discommenders at a disadvantage.

Just then, Diana released an eye-popping message.

Mitch's current owner was just Mitch Watson, who was in the country.

After knowing that, Netizens were shocked.

The guy who fed Mitch into a ball was Watson?

If so, he must know KAP.

"M378" might be Watson.

Amelia was displeased to see the instant transformation of public opinion on the Internet.

Her defamation of KAP was a way of trying to get popular. She studied Sudoku so hard and got an international ranking. It was more than a decade of hard work. But few people followed her on the Internet, and she had only thousands of followers.

But this KAP hired some Internet water army to hype the topic of chess, and then posted a few pictures of a dog, which unexpectedly became popular.

She felt unfair and got upset when she saw KAP dare to issue the message about Sudoku.

It was a challenge.

She had to admire KAP's marketing means. Within a few days, KAP made up a love story about a guide dog and got more attention and more fans, which made her jealous.

No, she had to show her existence by giving KAP a good slap in the face.

She was sure that "M378" could never be Mitch Watson. After all, Watson had never responded positively, either to the identity of "M378" or the fact that he adopted Mitch.

She asked a reporter friend and knew that Watson was indeed here and was about to set up a chess training school with his friends.

The next day was the opening day of Watson's chess training school.

Amelia called the reporter and asked him to ask Watson these two questions. As long as Watson denied all this, it was the best way to shame KAP.

***

In fact, even if Amelia didn't turn to her reporter friend, many reporters were planning to ask these questions.

Watson's chess training school was named "MT," which represented Mitch Watson and Toby Damon. Toby, one of the co-founders, naturally added his name to the school name.

The school was actually a big training course. They taught chess skills on weekends.. After all, there were few domestic chess players, so they couldn't make it a full-time school.
