Chapter - 6069

Tawanna intentionally made her statement during a live broadcast that reached the entire world, instantly breaking through the defenses of audiences in Britain and France.

Among those affected, the British were the most notable.

They suddenly recognized that this wasn't the first time they had faced criticism from the British Museum recently.

Previously, Egyptians had come to the British Museum for a live broadcast, pointing at the mummies and coffins, accusing the British of taking their ancestors' coffins and bodies to sell tickets for exhibits.

At that moment, the British felt quite disheartened, but fortunately, the online presence of those Egyptians wasn’t very widespread.

However, Tawanna was different. She was already one of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, and her recent news coverage had skyrocketed. It's fair to say that at that moment she was possibly the most popular person in the world. Given her influence, her sudden remarks came as a complete surprise.

What’s more, even Tawanna’s agent hadn’t anticipated her comments.

All she could think was, “Sister, you’re really out of your mind. What if you can't work in the UK anymore? Can’t we make money there?”

So she turned her back to the camera and began frantically signaling to Tawanna.

Tawanna noticed but pretended not to. How could she not see through her agent's concerns? Was it really just about making a little money? If it hadn’t been for Mr. Wade's help, she might have perished in Japan. Money didn’t matter much to her anymore.

Moreover, with only tens of millions of residents in Britain, capturing that audience was an impressive feat in itself. What could possibly happen if she lost a few million fans? Would she truly lose that many fans?

Besides, Tawanna firmly believed that out of those tens of millions of British fans, at least five million must have a clear sense of right and wrong, right?

If her ancestors did wrong, then they did wrong. Half of them ought to recognize that. Isn’t that a reasonable expectation for such an esteemed nation?

By taking this stance, losing five million fans simply wouldn’t matter.

Thus, she disregarded her agent’s anxious gestures and continued passionately, “I believe every country must confront its history with seriousness and honesty in order to grow as a society.”

The agent buried her face in her hands and shook her head.

The live broadcast of the Old Summer Palace sparked a tremendous international reaction, leaving Britain in a state of bewilderment.

At that time, Charlie was resting in the Wade family’s old house, watching as his phone was inundated with notifications, all stemming from Tawanna’s actions.

The British audience was in disarray. Some criticized Tawanna for distorting facts, while others condemned her for fabricating history. Yet there was also a wave of reflection occurring, with many questioning their own nation, acknowledging the shame of their ancestors past as global marauders.

Subsequently, these two groups began to bicker amongst themselves, leaving foreign observers puzzled.

However, it must be said that Tawanna's live broadcast allowed ordinary people in the Western world to view a more authentic representation of China.

Their media had always smeared China’s image, spreading accusations as harsh as those of Canada, even warning citizens that crime rates in China were high, with robberies happening everywhere and counterfeit money flooding the market, advising against travel to China.

But after witnessing Tawanna's live broadcast, viewers realized that public safety and order in China were remarkably sound, with no theft or fighting in sight.

Moreover, the claim about counterfeit currency felt ludicrous. Viewers tuned in for an entire day without seeing any hint of cash.

People in China used their phones to pay for rides, make purchases, and buy tickets for attractions, enjoying grilled sausages and beverages, or simply browsing their phones at tourist sites.

What was even more surprising was when Tawanna, while at the Old Summer Palace, attempted to buy a Coke but was told by the vendor, shyly, that he couldn’t provide change.

Why not? Because cash was hardly in use! Why was cash not in use? Because nobody wanted it!

The vendor happily handed Tawanna a bottle afterward.

Meanwhile, a child who was with his parents went to the store for corn. Although he didn’t have a smartphone, he managed the payment with a children's smartwatch on his wrist.

In the comment section, a group from the Maple Leaf country expressed their shock, “Our government warned that counterfeit currency is rampant in China. I’d like to know how that’s possible in a place where you can’t even see real money?”

Numerous responses echoed, "Take their warnings about China as nothing more than a warning about the state of their own survival and that of their neighbors in the U.S. And add this, beware of human waste everywhere in Canada!"

People in that nation couldn’t help but laugh at themselves.

What era are we in, still slandering others daily, while remaining utterly ignorant of the facts? It’s simply absurd.

When Tawanna concluded her live broadcast and returned to her hotel, discussions about her online had already escalated significantly.

Of course, the enthusiasm was greatest among her domestic supporters, but these weren’t controversial opinions. They were entirely behind Tawanna and expressed gratitude for her efforts in promoting China.

Upon returning to her room and seeing the overwhelming online support, she felt uplifted. The avid support from her Chinese fans also suggested that Charlie was likely in favor of her approach.

As long as Charlie felt more positively towards her, it would be worth it. Her agent hurried in, looking distressed and said, “Tawanna, could you please discuss such matters with me beforehand next time? Your straightforward critique of Britain's history today could heavily impact your business prospects there. Don’t forget we still have a tour planned in Britain for the first half of the year!”

Tawanna stood up, casually turned around and smiled as she replied, “It doesn’t matter. If it comes to it, we can cancel all our performances in Britain.”

She suddenly became animated and declared loudly, “That’s right! All of them canceled, not a single show left! I won’t offer any explanations, I’ll show my stance through my actions!”

Her agent was taken aback, about to urge her to reconsider, when Tawanna received a voice message on her phone.

She opened it to discover it was from a British male singer she had a good rapport with.

This singer, a renowned songwriter in the UK and globally, may not match Tawanna’s popularity, but he was still quite esteemed in his own right.

In his voice message, he spoke seriously with a northern British accent, “Tawanna, as an old friend, I find your comments about Britain during the live broadcast rather unfair. You shouldn’t be criticizing Britain this way. It’s quite disheartening!”

Tawanna felt a competitive spark igniting within her. She smiled and replied, “Oh, really? As an American citizen, we’ve never shied away from confronting the history of our oppression of Native Americans. At least we granted them some private land and special policies. We didn’t take scalps for exhibitions! If you’re embarrassed about snatching cultural relics from China, how about the Egyptian artifacts you’ve taken for display? Are you really saying that my remarks are unfair?”

After sending that voice message, she immediately followed up with another, “Block me. I don’t wish to associate with those who can't recognize right from wrong!”
