Toph's comic series hadn't been updated for a few days. The comic platform had been promoting it because it had
gained more than 100,000 views and a growing fanbase.
In spite of it, with the sudden lack of updates, not only did the platform's interests suffer—leading to his removal
from the recommended list—but it also sparked discontent among many fans.
People criticized him in the comment section, calling him unprofessional. Certain haters even went so far as to
insult his family for generations.
Zuko's assistant informed him of this matter. Just as Zuko was about to involve the PR team to address the
situation, he realized that someone had already taken action to manage the negative comments.
"Mr. Hamerton, should we proceed with our plan?"
Zuko hesitated. "Can you find out who's behind this?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe PR team immediately went into action and soon came up with an answer.
"The address is a studio," an IT staff member replied. "The method is a bit crude. Deleting negative comments one
by one and bumping up positive ones."
"It's a straightforward approach, but it's quite effective."
"Could this be one of Mr. Toph's admirers?" someone joked. "It's undoubtedly true love when they're willing to go to
such lengths!"
"Shh..."
Everyone turned their gaze to Zuko.
Zuko smiled, easily guessing that it was Arya's doing.
On the other hand, Renee had not even called to offer a greeting since Toph began facing online attacks.
Zephyr and Cordelia were worried about Toph, asking Zuko several times a day about the progress of the matter.
Zuko reassured them with a smile. "Both of you can stop worrying. Toph has someone who cares about him!"
"What do you mean?"
Zuko smiled without answering.
Cordelia frowned. "Zuko, your brother has locked himself in his room these past few days, barely eating... He's even
stopped drawing his comics. He's never acted this way before! Did he meet anyone before this?"
"Yes," Zuko answered truthfully. "He had a meal with Renee a few days ago."
"Why does it always involve her?" Zephyr was usually composed, but he could not help but get worked up when his
son was being mistreated. "What did our family ever do to deserve this treatment from her? Why is she targeting
Toph like this?"
"Dad, calm down." Zuko pacified him. "You and mom can rest assured. I know what to do and won't let Toph suffer
anymore."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"How can I not be agitated..." Zephyr lowered his voice. "Back then, Zennie also faced a similar situation. She was
gaslit and caught deep in it. Fortunately, she later met Seth and managed to gradually break free."
"Toph will also meet that someone who brings light into his life," Zuko commented.
"Hopefully," Cordelia softly interjected. "But it's also partly our fault. We've sheltered him too much since childhood.
He is a boy and has missed out on the necessary experiences. He's pure and kind-hearted, which is an advantage.
But it becomes a fatal weakness in the hands of those with ulterior motives!"
"Don't worry. I'm here," Zuko smiled and said, "I've arranged for a therapist for Toph. He'll get better. However... he
needs to stay away from home for a while. Are you both agreeable?"
Zuko packed a simple suitcase for Toph and took him camping on the outskirts.
Before the camping trip, he had advised Toph to take everything he wanted with him so that they would not have to
return for anything forgotten later.
Toph agreed listlessly, slouching on the sofa and gazing blankly at some point.
Zuko felt a bit sad. He walked over and patted his brother's shoulder. "Let's go!"
