Later, Levi's personal identity was exposed by netizens, and not long after, the identity of the host Zhanyu with the ID "Emperor of the Dark Empire" was also exposed, which instantly attracted countless attention and discussions.
Then the trouble began.
Some fans and viewers who had given gifts to Levi became interested. Even those fans who had only given gifts of a dozen or dozens of yuan gathered together and established an organization called "Levi Pay Back the Money". They not only had a special TT contact group and Qiandu Tieba, but also had very close private contacts. Their purpose was self-evident, which was to hope that Levi would fulfill his promise and pay back the money as soon as possible.
At first, they just posted online and left messages on Dark Technology’s official Weibo account and Levi’s personal social media account, reminding him to “don’t forget each other if you become rich and powerful” and “a gentleman should keep his word”... but received no response.
Then a man named Tan Wei stood up and stopped a group of fans from signing collectively. He filed a lawsuit in court, ready to resolve the problem through legal means.
But the judge had never handled such a case before and had no idea how to make a ruling.
Because if we say that Levi committed fraud, his casual promise of "a reward of 10,000 yuan for a reward of 1 yuan" is indeed suspected of deception, and it is very obvious. He should have fulfilled his promise and not deceived others.
"The question is, has the Death Fleet returned? Levi made it clear in the live broadcast that as soon as the Death Fleet arrives, the promise will be fulfilled immediately. Has this premise been fulfilled? Since the fleet hasn't arrived, why are you so anxious to get the money?"
"Besides, you guys enjoyed watching Zhanyu's live stream and gave the streamer tips. It's essentially a 'free donation'. Can you expect to get your money back? If everyone behaved like you, wouldn't all those live streaming platforms go bankrupt? Can you please have some consumer integrity? You're buying something spiritual. Since you've enjoyed it, why should you ask for your tips back?"
In court, the lawyer defending Levi said.
The fan representative Tan Wei also has his reasons. Since you have made a promise, you must fulfill it, otherwise it is deception and fraud.
The two sides went back and forth, and the lawsuit lasted for a full six months, but Levi won four of the six verdicts. In the other two times, the judge ordered Levi to pay 1:1 compensation, and return the amount of money that fans gave as tips.
Naturally, Tan Wei and others were not satisfied, so they replaced another fan as the plaintiff, wrote a complaint, and continued to sue until the result satisfied them.
Faced with this endless litigation tactic, Levi was simply fed up and annoyed.
…
This afternoon.
Levi, who was resting at home, heard a uniform sound coming from outside the villa:
"Levi——" said Tan Wei, holding a loudspeaker.
“Pay back the money!”
Hundreds of netizens gathered from all over the country holding banners such as "Fulfill the Promise" and "Vote for 10,000 Yuan" and shouted in unison.
"Levi——"
“Pay back the money!”
"Levi——"
“…”
They repeated it over and over again, facing a certain direction in the villa area.
