All-rounder Artist

The atmosphere was chillingly cold.

It felt as if the temperature in the studio’s lobby had dropped to freezing point.

After an unknown length of time, a sudden wail echoed through the lobby:

"I accepted the apology. He is a high-ranking member of the Tribe and he humbled himself to apologize to a small agent like me. What makes you think I wouldn’t accept it?"

Chuckling!

The stifling atmosphere was abruptly broken, and Luo Wei couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Lin Yuan said, "Isn’t that equivalent to refusing?"

While talking, Lin Yuan imitated Jin Mu and made a dismissive gesture.

"Hahahaha..."

The other assistants also couldn’t help but laugh.

What level of understanding does Teacher Shadow have?

Jin Mu stomped his foot: "I clearly told you not to fall out with them. I see through you now! This trick doesn’t work on me, I won’t be taken in by you again!"

Jin Mu’s eyes suddenly lit up with understanding!

Lin Yuan: "..."

Perhaps his performance this time wasn’t convincing enough?

Lifting his eyelids.

Lin Yuan looked past Jin Mu to everyone else: "Do you accept the apology?"

"We don’t."

Luo Wei responded with a smile.

The assistants turned to look at Jin Mu, then back at Lin Yuan. The room was filled with voices, all uniformly ringing out:

"We don’t accept it!"

Jin Mu’s eyes reddened for a moment: "Thanks a lot, you guys. Just look at yourselves, so capable. Just wait until you have no place to eat. Now that we can’t cooperate with the Tribe, where are we going to publish our future comics?"

"Don’t listen to him."

Looking past Jin Mu.

Lin Yuan turned to the assistants: "If there’s no way to afford meals, I will support you guys."

"Long live Teacher Shadow!"

Everyone began laughing and cheering.

At first, when they heard about the fall-out between Shadow and the Tribe, everyone had been taken aback, clearly understanding the seriousness of the issue.

But they quickly regained their composure!

Too small!

Too narrow-minded!

What’s there to be afraid of?

Teacher Shadow is Xian Yu after all!

This was a secret that only members of the studio knew!

Xian Yu and Shadow are the same person. When you hang out with such a demon, are you afraid of not having food to eat?

Don’t make this kind of brainless joke.

Moreover, all the assistants present had learnt from Lin Yuan.

In their hearts, they had long ceased to see themselves as merely comic assistants.

Compared to this identity, they felt more like disciples of Teacher Shadow!

Just like Luo Wei!

Shadow taught them to draw, enabling them to reach a level of painting skill they might never have achieved otherwise!

From an emotional and rational perspective.

Shadow is their teacher!

The bond between teacher and disciple was very important on Blue Star!

Being a disciple means they must follow wherever the teacher goes!

Of course.

This also has to do with the group’s inflated confidence. The assistants, having learned a lot from Lin Yuan, have become quite arrogant.

Heaven is the greatest.

Earth comes second.

They rank third.

Heaven represents Shadow, earth represents Luo Wei. At least in the minds of these comic assistants, this was the ranking. The people in the studio had long been boasting that they were unbeatable.

When things came to this, everyone began to comfort Jin Mu, filled with righteous indignation.

Our studio is so awesome, why would our agent be bullied by outsiders?

There’s no reason for it!

Lin Yuan also comforted him with a smile: "There are so many comic websites, we can just find any other platform."

"Exactly!"

Luo Wei said: "With the reputation of our Teacher Shadow, even if we go to other websites, we can still thrive!"

"In my opinion, the reason why Tribe Comics is the number one website in the industry is because of us!"

A comic assistant with hands on the hips: "Once we leave, they won’t be able to maintain that number one status!"

"That’s right!"

The assistant next to him chimed in: "Wherever we go, that website becomes number one!"

Luo Wei: "..."

Who gave you guys this courage? You think you are invincible?

Jin Mu: "..."

Since when did these little assistants become so inflated?

Lin Yuan: "..."

Even I don’t dare to say these things.

Oh.

If I try hard, it seems I might dare. Stay connected with NovelBin.Côm

Lin Yuan smiled: "Jin uncle, please go ahead with the contract termination negotiations with Tribe Comics."

-"Dealing with your shit again."

Jin Mu said grumpily, but an unusual emotion was stirring in his heart.

He knew who he would never betray in his life.

...

In the afternoon.

Lin Yuan entered Jin Mu’s office.

It seemed like Jin Mu was on the phone with a lawyer.

Seeing Lin Yuan, he temporarily hung up the phone and said helplessly: "They are pulling their weight. Ling Kong was furious with us, and immediately threatened to block you in the company – Ling Kong is the guy we were just talking to."

Lin Yuan laughed: "Us?"

Jin Mu rolled his eyes: "Should I directly say that he was infuriated by you?"

Lin Yuan asked back: "Aren’t you angry?"

Jin Mu dodged the question: "I have asked around. This Ling Kong is not simple, he has strong business abilities and also holds power within the Tribe headquarters, but no one knows the specifics. I suspect he is the heir to a key figure within the Tribe. You should be aware of how large the scale of the Tribe is, and our opponent is not a small deal.

When he was willing to apologize to you and me, I knew this guy was ruthless."

"But the Tribe doesn’t know how big Shadow’s operation is."

Lin Yuan said casually: "As for the termination, if they dare not follow the rules, Xian Yu and Chu Kuang will terminate all cooperation with the Tribe in the future."

"The stakes are too high, will Silver Blue and Starlight agree?"

"Under normal circumstances, it won’t come to that."

This is just a normal job-jumping for a website comic artist, Lin Yuan didn’t think the matter was a big deal.

However, Lin Yuan still underestimated the seriousness of the matter.

That evening.

The Tribe Comics made a move!

Shadow’s "Death Note" was blocked, the reason being that its value orientation was incorrect and had been reported by parents.

Immediately after, "Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma" was blocked, the reason being that it was involved in adult content, and there were numerous lascivious scenes reported by parents.

Then the ongoing "The Kindaichi Case Files" was blocked, the reason being that the content was too terrifying, and it was reported by parents.

Finally "King of the Net" was also blocked.

This time the reason was that parents reported that their children’s sexual orientation had become abnormal after reading the comics?

Could they find a more far-fetched reason?

In short, all of Shadow’s works were blocked!

Shadow’s official account on Tribe Comics could no longer be found, as if there was no such person at Tribe Comics!

To kill one thousand, self-harm eight hundred!

This was the decision of Tribe Comics!

Keep in mind, these comics of Shadow’s have always been making money for Tribe Comics, and both sides are beneficiaries. Now Tribe Comics is desperate to cut off Shadow’s sources of income, even if it means losing their share!

Banishment!

Ling Kong did what he said he would!

This was a full-scale ban from Tribe Comics!

This was a power crush from capitalism against individual influence. Anyway, Tribe Comics could afford the loss, but most of Shadow’s income came from these comics!

In a flash!

The entire internet was shocked by this sudden move, nobody expected that a good person like Shadow would be banned outright by Tribe Comics overnight!
