Chapter 398: Chapter 243: Proving Her Identity, Livestreamed Across the Web
Fenton City, a certain university.
Isabel Armstrong returned from the library to her dormitory and stopped by to pack a late-night snack for the only roommate still on campus.
"You’re back."
The roommate was doing something, typing away on the keyboard, not even looking up as she greeted her.
Placing her backpack aside, Isabel set the snack next to her roommate’s desk, curiously leaning over, "What are you up to?"
The computer screen clearly displayed a forum post, and her roommate was replying to a thread.
The title of the post was: Private meeting between Nora Scott and Kieran Shawn, solidifying her identity as the "Manga Prodigy".
"You know that Nora Scott who’s been trying to attach herself everywhere lately?" the roommate asked with her head tilted up.
"Who?"
Isabel was confused, not understanding at all.
"I forgot you’ve been engrossed in preparing for postgrad exams. Attending the CK Comic Con was your last leisure activity." The roommate recalled and then dragged a chair over for Isabel to sit on, "Let me gossip a bit for you, consider it a break. It’s somewhat related to that Zero you like."
With that, the roommate pulled the laptop forward, pushing it in front of Isabel.
She opened two posts.
One post was the previously popular "Identical Bracelet, Confirmed Encounter with Zero!".
The other was the one her roommate was just about to reply to.
"Is anyone daring enough to do this?"
After reading the first post, Isabel was completely shocked.
"If you have enough guts, nothing is impossible." The roommate clicked her tongue, "Anyway, God Z won’t reveal their identity. She only uses backs, bracelets, and some speculative remarks to cause a stir, and when things get big, she’ll just say the person involved was unaware and come out to clarify."
Isabel sighed, "Isn’t it enough for the comic circle to be attached to, now the entertainment circle too... My God Z is too miserable, isn’t he?"
"Look at this one."
The roommate showed Isabel the new post.
She explained, "This was posted just this afternoon, showing a private meeting between Nora Scott and Kieran Shawn... Oh, Kieran Shawn is the editor-in-chief of CC Comics, quite a famous figure. This post has tons of revelations..."
Isabel yawned, resting her chin on her hand, and began to slowly browse the latest post.
The post content includes four points:
First, tying it to the previous post, Nora Scott is indeed involved in the manga circle, solidifying the rumors that she’s trying to cling to Zero.
Second, according to revelations, in early March, Nora Scott published a work in CC Comics under the pen name Fans, titled "Call for Help from Afar". The work’s performance was decent. Interestingly, Fans was directly handled by editor-in-chief Kieran Shawn, who only supervises two people at CC Comics, the other being Zero.
Third, speculate the connection between Nora Scott, Kieran Shawn, and Zero. The speculations include two points:
1. Nora Scott knows Zero. She might have got Zero’s tacit approval for trying to attach herself to him; Nora Scott might have been recommended by Zero to Kieran Shawn for direct supervision.
2. Nora Scott reached some undisclosed agreement with Kieran Shawn, and through Kieran as the go-between, got to know Zero. Moreover, she provided Zero with certain benefits, allowing Nora to exploit his popularity within acceptable limits.
After all, Nora Scott is both beautiful and well-connected.
Fourth, Nora Scott initially wanted to take the traditional submission route, and her editor was Isabella Hart and Molly Forest, the UU editor. But since the first draft of "Call for Help from Afar" was too poor in quality, it was eliminated by Molly Forest.
Unexpectedly, Nora Scott directly reached out to Kieran Shawn, made some sort of deal, and got Molly Forest fired by Kieran Shawn, and after revision, "Call for Help from Afar" was approved. Its panel style resembles Zero’s techniques a bit.
In this, there are a lot of speculations to be made.
...
In short, this post serves as an enhancement and supplement to the previous post.
Moreover, there are many pieces of evidence provided.
Its revelations have been affirmed by many peers, stating "it indeed happened", further increasing the credibility of this posting.
Regarding this post, netizens have a myriad of comments.
[Feels very real. Logical and reasonable, without any loopholes.]
[What a grand drama. What’s backing Nora Scott that she’s involved with CC Comics and Zero?]
[Isn’t this woman Nora Scott terrifying? Now, whenever I see her performances, I feel chills. This is the beauty you all regard as a Heavenly Immortal.]
[Emmmm, although I know it’s unlikely, I hope Zero can come out and clear their connection with Nora Scott, or else, my affection for her greatly diminishes. Even the fearless persona can’t be sustained, after all, it’s not invincible against capital.]
[Those in the comic circle, who’ve interacted with Molly Forest. Heard that Molly had contact with Nora Scott at CK Comic Con and had a very poor impression of her: arrogant, overbearing, rude. As a newcomer to the comic circle, she directly told Isabella Hart ’forget about seeking advice. Some people aren’t even qualified.’ Oh, and she’s quite smug about her looks, probably hasn’t spared using that face to gain benefits. But it’s also funny that when contacting Molly Forest as Fans, she acted all coquettish and cute, a whole repertoire.]
