Thorne assassinated Queen Mei in public during the award ceremony, conveniently rescuing the old King in the process. This completely set off the nerves of all "Spirit" players worldwide.
"Spirit" players went straight into revenge mode to look for Thorne in the other world to confront him, but Thorne's response was still very deadpan.
"Anyway, you can't touch me unless you climb up the stage, so I don't care what you say!" Another response was, "I don't know anything about it, it wasn't me. Maybe it was done by my twin brother from another father and mother."
In short, Thorne's reaction was to play dumb, remaining untouchable on the stage, his only retort to the die-hard fans and personal guards of Queen Mei is shouting from below, "Come up and fight me properly!"
As for true fans like Can Xin, they simply incorporated dueling Thorne into their daily gaming routine.
