Chapter 958 - 646: Living Map [01] Nora Scott: Why Is Someone Pretending to Be Me Again?
Chapter 958 - 646: Living Map [01] Nora Scott: Why Is Someone Pretending to Be Me Again?
As everyone knows, Nora Scott isn’t someone who likes to show off.
— At least that’s what the whole internet thinks.
Nora Scott is low-key, humble, and arrogant... just not flashy.
But today, that almost forgotten actor’s Weibo account of Nora Scott suddenly updated—
[Nora Scott]: I, actor Nora Scott. [Attached image: You all are little spicy chickens]
Netizens: "..."
[Damn, I’ve been brainwashed, I actually find her arrogance quite adorable.]
[Can imagine Fairy at home, sipping red wine with her legs crossed, proudly posting this Weibo.]
[Congratulations Fairy on finally getting to boast (Grandpa is proud, Fairy actually starts to show off.)]
[Hahaha, she posted this picture and I don’t feel any dissonance at all!]
[Nora Scott: I am me, got to stand out in every field! (Except photography)]
[The comment above, don’t jinx it, be careful Fairy wins an international photography award tomorrow, it’ll shock you to death.]
...
Perhaps due to Nora’s eccentric style, not only did netizens not lose favor because of Nora’s boasting Weibo, but weirdly, the favorability rose.
Soon, a topic named [Nora Scott’s Pride for Today, Please Sign] hit the hot search.
Moreover—
Due to the shocking event of everyone online mocking Nora’s acting and ending up embarrassed, "Reversing Life" had the best results and reputation in the four episodes aired on "Twelve", with the network clicks breaking a billion in two hours, more than 20,000 ratings per episode, and an overall score of 9.8, the best result among the four episodes.
The stunning script, lively performances, diverse roles, and various forms of expression formed a trend of online acclaim overnight.
This phenomenon directly led to—
Nora, heading to Lai’an City the next day, was recognized upon arrival at the airport, causing crowd congestion. Nora had to take the VIP passage and changed her flight time but was yet again surrounded upon landing in Lai’an City.
Nora was used to traveling alone, without even an assistant, let alone a bodyguard. No matter how good her skills were, it was hard to fight off waves of fans with just one person. Fortunately, the airport security was efficient, and her pick-up was by the wealthy Benjamin Durant, who called in dozens of cars to confuse the crowd, successfully getting Nora into the car.
"Uncle, are you being chased?"
Benjamin Durant, who was almost isolated from online hot trends, asked a silly question.
"..."
Nora threw him a glare.
Seeing a hint from her eyes, Benjamin Durant suddenly worried, "Will wearing hats, sunglasses, and masks be useless for you when you go out now?"
Nora frowned slightly, "I don’t know."
"Then won’t it be troublesome for you to take on tasks?" Benjamin sighed, "All those legendary titles, all overshadowed by one ’celebrity’ label."
"..."
Almost forgot about that.
Since Alexander Vaughn threw her into the river, Nora rarely took on tasks. It was okay the year before, with one or two tasks, but she took none last year.
— Despite this, the Martial World was still full of her legends.
When taking tasks, Nora, to avoid trouble, would always require the employer to keep her identity a secret. Some tasks, due to the level of danger, feared follow-up monitoring, she would even use aliases... but with her current level of national fame, people recognize her at a glance, what kind of secrecy is that.
Not hearing Nora speaking, Benjamin glanced back, puzzled, "Uncle?"
"We’ll talk later."
Nora frowned, pressed down on the brim of her hat, feeling moody.
— Damn, can’t mess around anymore.
"Oh, by the way—" Benjamin started another topic.
Nora impatiently glanced at him, "Cut the crap."
"..." Benjamin cowardly dropped his tone, "It’s related to you."
"What?"
"There’s a rumor going around recently, Northwest Living Map is back in business." Benjamin cautiously asked through the rearview mirror, "That has nothing to do with you, right?"
Nora paused, furrowed her brows, "Who spread that news?"
Benjamin blinked, "Northwest Living Map."
"I spread the news and wouldn’t know?"
"It’s not you."
"... You better get your logic straight before speaking." Nora was annoyed and didn’t want to babble with Benjamin.
Benjamin paused, thought carefully for a moment, then explained, "It’s said that someone claiming to be ’Northwest Living Map’ is speaking on the streets, offering tasks. Humphrey and I thought it was you coming to Lai’an City, releasing the news early, so we didn’t investigate deeply. If it’s not you, then it must be an impostor."
Nora squinted, "No other possibilities?"
"Don’t know, this needs to be investigated." Benjamin said, "Uncle, don’t worry. If it’s an impostor, we’ll definitely take care of them."
Nora casually replied with "Mm".
At this moment—
Nora’s phone rang.
Originally thought it was Pedro Langley asking if she had arrived at the airport, but when she took out her phone, it turned out to be a call from Pedro’s ex-blind date, Frank Ford.
Squinting her eyes, Nora answered, "Frank."
"Sis-in-law, did you come to Lai’an City?" Frank Ford’s voice was relaxed, quite cheerful.
"Mm."
"I just saw the news, saying you were blocked at Lai’an City airport lobby, so I wanted to check." Frank asked, "Are you okay, should I come pick you up?"
"It’s fine, I’m in the car." Nora was skeptical, "You’re in Lai’an City?"
"Yes." Frank readily shared, "Didn’t we have a project at the start of spring? The mentor kept asking me to find the Northwest All-Knowing, and Thomas just said recently there are traces of her activity in Lai’an City, so I came to have a look."
Nora: "..."
She herself had admitted to Frank, yet he didn’t believe it, instead ran miles to find a fake.
Also quite amusing.
