Chapter Seventy-Five: The Storm (1)
While the outside world was causing an uproar over the second notice issued by the 'One World One Comics Awards', important members of the 'One World One Comics Awards' competition committee, which was the center of the turmoil, were also negotiating in a secret club.
"You tell me, why did you make One Punch Man number three without my permission?"
A middle-aged man with a gloomy face and thin lips asked the three people sitting opposite.
Then, one of his hands on his lap slammed down on the table.
"Chairman, this is an order from Master Nishiwaki Kofu, and we can't ...... it."
One person on the other side quickly lowered his head and explained.
"Even if it's the pressure exerted by Master Nishiwaki Cultivator, you have to resist it for me! Now that the notice has been sent out by you, you know what the consequences will be! If anyone who is interested investigates, they will find that our ruling this time violates the consistent principle of 'One Manga Award in the World'!"
The middle-aged man, who was called the president, angrily rebuked.
"Plain, you say, what is wrong with this incident!"
He turned to the person on the right opposite side and asked.
"Yes, yes...... We should not have rushed this notice out of the way without reporting it to you as soon as we received a call from Master Nishiwaki Kofu. ”
The person who was called, his face was full of panic, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the eyes of the middle-aged man, and said urgently.
"Yaga!"
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man who listened to this answer directly grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it at the other party, and the pottery teacup hit the man's head.
"Ah......h
Hirano suddenly let out a wail and hugged his head and shouted.
"You idiot! You think I'm thinking about this?! I think you, the director, can go back to Kagawa's hometown sooner!"
President...... I was confused just now, and I didn't understand what you mean!"
Hirano immediately confessed.
"Koji, come on!"
The middle-aged man, who didn't bother to pay attention to the other party, asked the other person again.
"President, you blame us for not following the rules and regulations, and for acting hastily because of the orders of Master Nishiwaki Kofu. ”
Koji, who was called, saw the president nod after saying this answer, and continued: "According to the rules of the event, since we found that the data of "One Punch Man" is suspected of being fraudulent, we should disqualify it, let alone let this work get third place. ”
"That's it, but why didn't any of you ask to do this, but instead did such a stupid thing because of the orders of Master Nishiwaki Kofu!"
When the middle-aged man said this, his chest was even more undulating, obviously angry, he took off his coat, threw it aside, and opened the shirt collar button inside.
"For so many years, why is our 'One World Comics Award' the most successful competition in the entire Dongying comic industry! It is because we have never broken through the rules of the competition for any special reason, and it is fair and impartial to select works, even if the pressure comes from a master this time, it should not be an exception!"
He scolded in one breath, and then stood up neatly and stepped on the tatami mat hard, "If Nishiwaki Kofu's order does not conflict with the rules of the event, then of course we can take special care of it, and it is normal to give convenience to the master under accommodation!"
But this time, it was the Kyoto Divisional Competition Committee that reported to us, saying that it was found that the data of "One Punch Man" was false, and its creator was even suspected of uniting with online media in other countries to swipe clicks and traffic for his work! Since there is evidence to prove this, then we should fulfill our duties and act in accordance with the charter, except for the qualification of "One Punch Man", it is impossible for it to win the third place!"
"But the president ......," Hirano said timidly, "We all know very well that even if One Punch Man is suspected of swiping data, it is also a work capable of fighting for the first place, and I think Master Nishiwaki may have asked us to make a special case out of this consideration." ”
“……”
In the face of this idiot who was still obsessed, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth in anger, ran to the front of Hirano in two or three steps, and slapped the other party three times!
"Get out, get out!"
The veins on his forehead erupted and roared with anger.
………………………………
And in distant Kyoto, Asagami Sakaki smiled and explained to Naohiko Inoue, who also came to ask him why "One Punch Man" could still finish third:
This shows that Koo Nishiwaki is very thoughtful, and of course he knows that there is cheating in the results of "One Punch Man", and it is reasonable that he should be expelled from the event. However, he ordered the competition committee to quickly put up an announcement, accusing "One Punch Man" of having a data farming situation - and also declared it third because there were deeper considerations. ”
"What else to consider?"
"Yes, the master, like us, already knows that Fang Yingye used the phone number of the hotel to contact the consulate of Huaguo, and after that, such a column appeared on Huaguo's animation website, to say that these are just coincidences, I don't think anyone who knows the inside story will believe it. ”
Asagami Sakaki pointed out the center of this muddy water for Inoue Naohiko, and he continued: "If the regulations are implemented and 'One Punch Man' is disqualified from the competition, what will the forces that may exist behind Fang Yingye think? Since he will participate, it means that he has another purpose, if we directly kick him out, even if we have evidence in hand, we will have to face the counterattack of the forces represented by Fang Yingye, which is not a good thing for our current situation, Naohiko." ”
"So hit a stick first, and then give a piece of candy, this is a common technique used by their Chinese people in secret fighting, why don't we learn to do it?"
After Asagami finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes, "At this time, we can't make this pool of water even more muddy, but we can't help but take action against Hideya's 'One Punch Man', and this move by Master Nishiwaki Kofu is just right, just what we all want." ”
