The Aftermath (1)

The protest, which looked ready to explode at any moment, gradually began to die down after Isaac sent a letter to the publishing house.

The letter was so long that it filled an entire page, but to summarize it roughly, it went something like this.

[It's so noisy that I'm genuinely worried. What will you do if I end up getting hurt too? Don't worry too much; I haven't received any pressure or threats. I'm perfectly healthy, I write as a hobby, and I have a lot to do, so I'm only taking a brief hiatus. So please don't misunderstand and wait just a little longer. I love you all, my readers.]

The protesters backed down after receiving the heartfelt plea that filled an entire page... What do you mean, they backed down? At first, they retorted that he should stop lying.

It was the beginning of The Chronicle of Xenon, a masterpiece that had begun leaving a major mark on the cultural world and was now loved by everyone.

"It's a lie! How are we supposed to believe you?!"

"Prove that it's the real original, not a copy!"...
