Chapter 758
Damien’s outrageous video with a group of men exploded onto the trending list.
Although it was quickly censored within the domestic network, the footage streamed freely overseas, where countless viewers tuned in with morbid fascination.
A scandal this lurid-and this destructive to common decency-was guaranteed to attract
attention. And Damien wasn’t entangled with just one man, but several.
Though the footage was blocked locally, blurred clips of Damien spread like wildfire across every platform in the country. As for the overseas networks… those didn’t even bother with
mosaics. Everything was uncensored, high-definition, and broadcast in full.
Curious netizens who couldn’t resist temptation even scaled the firewall to watch the live
feed abroad-and, in an almost charitable spirit, posted detailed tutorials online teaching
others how to do the same.
In no time, Damien’s scandal went global.
Even in countries known for their liberal attitudes, people were shocked. After all, such acts,
no matter how open-minded the culture, were usually private. No one in their right mind
would broadcast them to the world.
But Damien had not only engaged in this debauchery-he had streamed it.
All across the globe, viewers gawked and commented in real time.
“I heard Damien is one of the heirs to the Malcolm dynasty… Is this how the rich play?”
“The entertainment circle is a mess, but this is on another level.”
“Say what you will… Damien’s physique isn’t bad at all. Heh…”
“Tall, handsome, masculine… and yet he’s the one on the receiving end? Never judge a book
by its cover.”

“The craziest part? One man isn’t enough; he needs several at once.’
“Unbelievable! And it’s free to watch?!”
The internet was ablaze with laughter, mockery, and gossip.
Inside the Malcolm family, however, chaos reigned.
Lex’s expression was as cold as ice. He turned to his assistant and issued a clipped order, “Shut down the livestream. Now.”
His assistant’s voice cracked with panic.
“Sir, it’s not that we won’t block it; we can’t! Even if we cut the domestic feed, the overseas streams are still live. The servers aren’t under our control!”
A storm darkened Lex’s features.
“Then hire hackers. Bring down their servers.”
The assistant trembled.
“We’ve already tried. But the opposition anticipated us. They’ve hired top-tier hackers and reinforced their firewalls. Our team is working on it, but it’s impossible to crack quickly… By the time we break through, Damien’s livestream will already be over.”
For a man who rarely showed emotion, Lex finally lost his composure. Anger bled through his clenched teeth.
“Who? Who dares to set up the Malcolm family like this?!”
Now the whole world was laughing at their disgrace.
As head of the Malcolm family, he was supposed to uphold their honor. Instead, this scandal had detonated under his watch. His enemies-and his ambitious relatives who coveted his
position as heir-would seize on this as a weapon to undermine him, perhaps even force him to step down.

At that moment, Cole burst in, pale and anxious.
“Uncle Lex! We’ve traced Damien’s location. He’s… he’s in Leistre.”
“Leistre?” Lex froze. His eyes narrowed. “If I’m not mistaken, that’s within the Ferrero family’s sphere of influence.”
Cole nodded.
“Yes. But we’ve never had much contact with the Ferrero family. In fact, we’ve never even met the current family head. There’s no relationship to speak of.”
Among the elite families, even the top-ranking families usually maintained surface-level cordiality. No one wanted open conflict with a rival of equal standing. The cost of mutual destruction was too high.
History had already proven the danger-two powerful foreign families once battled each other to ruin, both collapsing into bankruptcy, their legacies erased.
