The Hero's Streaming Life with the Saintess-Chapter 67: The Blinking Game
The moment I ended the stream, the email alerts started blowing up like they were waiting for it.
I skimmed through them, just checking the subject lines — almost all of them were from law firms and private attorneys.
Every single one of them had a clean resume and a polite proposal attached.
Proposal to Represent You in Civil Suit Regarding Defamation.
[Legal Consultation Proposal] Offering Representation for Civil Suit. Experienced...
The content was all pretty similar.
They emphasized their extensive experience handling cases like this and proved their track records with actual results.
Some even mentioned {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} they'd cover administrative fees like filing and service costs out of pocket.
"Honestly, I could just hire all of them. Why even bother picking?"
"Hero, what about the ones who got caught?"
"They’ll get dealt with legally."
Anyone who tries to ruin someone without evidence is bound to pull the same shit elsewhere too.
Leniency?
Yeah, that's not happening.
If you left a hate comment, you should’ve been ready to take responsibility too.
"Why? Lyla, were you maybe thinking of going easy on them?"
"Absolutely not. People like that need to get a real taste of consequences."
Three hours after the notice I posted on stream, I closed the inbox.
Because there were so many applicants, I replied to everyone with the same answer — we’ll set a date, time, and place to meet all together.
If any lawyers couldn’t make it that day, well... tough luck.
"It’s a weekend, but hey — if they wanna make money, they’ll show up."
Song Hun’s announcement blew up on every community site.
Even office worker forums were no exception.

[Title: I submitted my proposal too LOL]
[Content: Honestly, defamation and insult charges have a crazy high win rate.]
ㄴ Jealous...
ㄴ Should’ve studied harder, man...
ㄴ If it’s not too much, could you buy me a melon bar...
ㄴ LOL I submitted a proposal too
ㄴ We bombarded them with proposals under our firm’s name lmao
ㄴ Seriously, it’s like free money at this point lol
ㄴ Man, usually you get like 20~30%, but a 90% payout? Never seen that in my life
ㄴ Fuck, I had another client meeting that dayㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I’m the only one missing out on this event!!!
ㄴ LOL sucks to be you
Some people voiced a little concern, but it didn’t really become an issue.

[Title: Isn't there a problem doing it this way?]
[Content: Lawyer bros, help me out... I’m clueless.]
ㄴ No problem
ㄴ Yeah, they didn’t mention any specific firm or lawyer names, so it’s fine
ㄴ It’s totally legal even to recruit openly like that; no threats or intimidation either
Some people were curious about the level of punishment.
[Posted by: ㅇㅇ (NewCompany)]
[Title: How bad’s the punishment gonna be? Just a fine?]
[Content: Wondering.]
ㄴ Since all of it was bullshit, it’s both defamation + spreading false information
ㄴ Plus, it violates the Information and Communications Network Act, and insult charges too lol
ㄴ Plus the target’s an S-Rank Hunter — basically a public figure. The damages are gonna be fucking huge.
ㄴ Damn... after reading that comment above, they're absolutely fucked lol
ㄴ So satisfying watching these hate comment scumbags get wrecked LOL
ㄴ Hero-ham, you’re not gonna ruin the fun by giving them leniency, right?
ㄴ If he does, that’s legit betrayal fr
It was a golden age of... no, a great era of mass lawsuits.

We booked out an entire hotel ballroom.
"Wow... except for that one time at law school, I’ve never been somewhere this fancy."
"Same, senior. First time for me too."
"Who the hell hires lawyers like this?"
Usually, big companies or celebrity agencies already had partner law firms or in-house legal teams.
But gathering literally every possible attorney, no matter if they were from a firm or working solo? This was a first in history.
When I stepped up onto the podium, every chatting lawyer turned to look at me.
"Nice to meet you. I’m Song Hun, your client."
I laid out all my demands.
And I kept stressing it — no leniency, no settlements. Push everything through to the very end.
Afterward, I opened the floor for questions from the lawyers.
"Client, do you also intend to take action against the media outlets?"
"Hmm... nah, I think we’re good there."
The articles were written based on false tips, and the reporters responsible were already getting fired.
Plus, the news outlets were apparently preparing their own legal measures.
No point going after them directly.
"Just focus on the people who spread the rumors first."
Then I asked them a question.
"What happens if the defendants can't pay their fines or settlement money?"
"Do you have a punishment level in mind, Client?"
"I don't know much about the law... but just hit them with the maximum allowed."
"In that case, if it’s settlement money, it falls under civil law. We can seize assets, enforce collections, and put them on credit blacklists.
If it’s a fine, that's criminal law — if they can’t pay, they get sent to a labor prison."
"That sounds fantastic."
I was extremely satisfied.
If you didn’t want to face the consequences, you shouldn’t have pulled this kind of crap.
They’re adults — old enough to take responsibility for themselves.
"What if the defendant’s a minor?"
"Treat them exactly the same."
If a minor can’t take responsibility, then their parents will have to.
Simple as that.
"Today was a very productive conversation."
"We’ll do everything in our power to restore your honor, Client."
I stepped down from the podium after exchanging bows.
Feeling great, I headed home, listening to the chatter behind me.

[zlSuperStrongHero: I use a cow-slaying sword to butcher chickens.]
[Title LMAO WTF]
[This shit’s hilarious LOL]
[No kidding — first time seeing someone use THIS many lawyers to catch haters lol]
The donations were pouring in even harder than usual.
Nobody liked people who hid behind anonymity just to trash others.
"I believe none of you are like that."
[Come on, LOL]
[But there’s probably at least one]
[Bet the ones about to get sued are shitting themselves watching this stream lol]
"And there’s actually one more target for punishment."
[Who?]
[Are you gonna crush the media too?]
"No, the leech bastards who used my face to farm views without knowing a damn thing."
They were just as disgusting as the haters.
Even after the clarification, their videos didn’t come down.
Instead, they pinned them to their channel’s main page to milk even more views.
[But does YouTube even do anything about that stuff?]
[They're a foreign company, so not sure they'll listen.]
[Yeah, wouldn’t it just be easier to request takedowns yourself?]
After my video went up, I checked out a few of theirs too.
They weren’t just reporting facts — they were uploading videos like their own bullshit was the truth.
"Looks like these assholes already have a ton of scandals too."
Some of them had destroyed people’s lives, going after individuals on purpose, or bankrupting completely innocent businesses and companies.
"I’ll make sure they shut down for good."
[Channel deletion isn’t easy, you know.]
[Foreign companies are strict as hell about that kind of thing.]
Yeah, I knew.
But that’s exactly why you build connections.
I’d already asked a friend living in the States for a little help.
"And now, I have a very important announcement for you guys."
[Something big’s coming?]
[What is it?]
[drumroll drumroll drumroll]
I had a small event prepared for the viewers watching me.
"If you send me a tip-off about any false posts spreading lies about me, I’ll send you a gift card as a thank-you."
The world these days is scary.
Even if someone deletes a post, usually at least one person out there has a screenshot saved.
That's why old posts by influencers sometimes suddenly resurface later.
"If the person spreading lies happens to be someone you actually know, don't worry — I'll protect your anonymity. And I'll make sure to reward you properly."
If your friend found out you were doing that shit... you think they’d still cover for you?
"Please email me the link to the false post, along with a screenshot of the content."
[Just you wait, you bastard LOL]
[Mom, we’re having a chicken party tonight!!!!]
[Son's bringing home the chicken...!]
"And apparently, according to the lawyers, there’s something fishy about this."
No matter how I thought about it, it was weird.
The smear posts against me didn’t just trickle out one by one — they exploded all at once.
It didn’t seem like the work of just one or two people.
Dozens of posts went up in a short time.
[Yeah, that’s kinda weird...]
[Is there even a group that would do that?]
[Honestly, there’s only one country that comes to mind...]
"If you guys are some kind of group, I’ve got a great offer for you."
Just one.
All I needed was for one person among them to flip.
Looking at the dumbass level of the false posts, it’s not like some huge evil conspiracy or anything.
"If you’re an insider..."
The charges on the lawsuit were severe — defamation, damaging the honor of a public figure who’s an S-Rank Hunter.
I tossed out a piece of bait that'd be too sweet for them to ignore.
"Be the first to confess everything.
If you do, only you will get a slightly reduced punishment."
Their enemy wasn’t the lawyers or the netizens anymore.
If they were alone, they’d have to start suspecting their own friends.
If they were a group, they’d have to suspect their own insiders.
"You better decide fast. Life’s short."
Now then.
From here on out — kill each other.
