Chapter 479: Chapter 478: B Fei Gets Promoted to Administrator, Keira Kicks Her Way to the Top
Just as the news had not yet been fully reported, Barcelona was already embroiled in yet another incident.
After the match ended, Enrique was attacked with rocks thrown by Sporting Lisbon fans as he drove away from the stadium.
Enrique then called the police.
But when the police arrived, they found themselves in a somewhat farcical situation.
Because the person who had shattered Enrique’s car window was an eight-year-old boy.
This...
Given that there was a large standoff between Barcelona fans and Sporting Lisbon fans nearby, the police eventually took both Enrique and the eight-year-old extremist fan to the police station.
They happened to run into Maxa, Feng Te, and others, who were there to bring Keira to the police station.
Feng Te was stunned at that moment.
After understanding the situation, especially that Enrique had not yet started the engine, he offered a critique-laden praise for the child’s behavior.
Because whether the engine was running or not made a fundamental difference to the incident.
If the engine wasn’t running, then it was just a broken window that needed compensation.
But if the engine had been running, it could have been extended to endangering life safety.
Sporting Lisbon subsequently vouched for the little boy.
furthermore, after the boy left the police station, Feng Te granted him "management" rights to the Deng Kai Global Fan Club main group.
Yes, this fan had previously joined the group.
He was the same Bruno Fernandes who had previously had an argument with Wenger and had wanted to join Sporting Lisbon but ultimately failed to meet the mark.
Both parties recorded their statements at the police station and then left.
Soon after, Barcelona lodged a complaint about everything that occurred during the match.
They demanded the cancellation of red cards for Enrique and Puyol and called for lifetime bans for Keira and the extremist young fan, in addition to the suspensions for Ronaldo and Deng Kai, among other things.
Almost simultaneously, Sporting Lisbon also filed a complaint.
They requested that UEFA severely punish Barcelona, impose additional suspensions on Enrique and Puyol, penalize Barcelona’s home ground, and ban Barcelona fans for life, among other things.
The two parties held their ground and fought fiercely.
In the end, UEFA made a ruling with the help of their legal department.
They upheld the red card punishments for Enrique, Puyol, and Ronaldo.
Enrique was fined five thousand euros for dangerous conduct causing injury on the pitch and received an additional three-match ban.
Barcelona’s next home game would be played without fans, a move expected to incur a loss of over five million euros.
The Barcelona fan who initiated the aggressive behavior toward Keira was banned from attending matches for three years. During those three years, he was prohibited from entering any stadium to watch any UEFA-sanctioned event, and any stadium found in violation of providing match-viewing services to him would be severely punished.
Additionally, the lawsuit against Keira and this fan was still underway.
In the immediate aftermath of the incident, Victoria had suggested Keira go straight from the locker room to the airport, bypassing the police station.
But Deng Kai insisted that Keira go, emphasizing the importance of completing all the formalities through proper channels.
They were then determined to prosecute the fan thoroughly.
Keira didn’t fully understand at the time, but the astute Victoria immediately caught on and was astonished by Deng Kai’s intelligence.
Despite her repeated overestimation of Deng Kai’s operational level, it was only after directly confronting and collaborating with him that she realized what she had considered an overestimation was, in reality, an underestimation of Deng Kai’s true capabilities.
This matter had to be escalated.
Only by doing so would Keira have a chance to snatch "The Fake God" from the hands of a star like Aniston.
The court ultimately ordered the player who had to change his name to compensate Keira with a thousand Euros for emotional damages.
Keira acted in self-defense and was not required to provide any compensation to the fan, including covering the cost of the shattered glasses alone.
Overnight, the valiant Keira became the standard-bearer of independent women across Europe!
No wonder people in the future love boxing so much; the benefits it brings are just too significant.
When Hathaway first became the embodiment of North American independent women, she leaped from being an obscure eighteenth-tier newcomer to a top Hollywood actress!
And it seems Keira is following in Hathaway’s footsteps to fame, but she is taking the European route.
Or rather, she is Europe’s candidate to compete with Hathaway for the title of "Western Independent Female Icon."
This "West" has long been controversial as to whether it refers to the United States or Europe.
Hathaway took a challenging path, starting from nothing.
As Keira forges ahead on this path, which has been easier from the start.
In fact, before the court’s verdict, the crew of "The Fake God" had already confirmed their collaboration with Keira’s agent.
Keira beat out Eva Mendes and Jennifer Aniston to become the lead actress in the film.
Of course, officially, the producers said the other two had scheduling conflicts, so...
At the same time, "The Fake God" offered Keira a salary unmatched by her status, on par with top Hollywood actresses.
Reportedly, this was in line with demands from the European film and television industry.
If "The Fake God" didn’t offer Keira the salary that matched her worth, they would encourage her to decline the role and would tailor specific film and television projects for her.
These included, but were not limited to, adaptations of world-famous literature.
Such as "Pride and Prejudice," "Les Misérables," and so on.
Simply put, at this moment, Keira became a representative of European actors, or at least English actors.
They demanded the respect they deserved.
"The Fake God" might not need to respect English people, but they did not want to miss out on the traffic, so they agreed to the conditions set by Keira’s side.
Times change. Had they cast Keira half a month earlier, they could have saved quite a bit of money.
But on the other hand, the salary of a top actress means little to them; without this massive surge in popularity and persona, they would never have considered Keira.
After the court’s ruling, Keira left the courthouse surrounded by countless reporters.
One reporter, with allegiance to Barcelona, tried to provoke: "Will you accept that thousand Euro compensation? It may not mean much to you, but it could be a month’s salary for that fan!"
In front of the cameras, she said, "Of course, I will accept it. He needs to be responsible for his actions. If the court had ordered me to compensate him, I would have done so, even if it meant selling the iron pot."
"However, I will not use this money myself. I will add a hundred thousand Euros to this amount and donate it all to the Deng Kai Football Foundation."
"I hope more victims of football hooliganism can find justice through this fund, and more young players can become as just and courageous a player as Deng Kai with this money!"
A hundred thousand Euros, just so Keira could assertively make a statement.
Some may think she’s at a loss.
But nobody knows how much Keira has gained from this.
Forget a hundred thousand Euros, even a million Euros can’t compare to the transformation Deng Kai brought her.
Too bad, Hathaway has already taken the lead.
In her heart, Keira could only silently express her regret.
She will continue to follow Deng Kai closely, especially his romance with Hathaway.
