The group of people walked up to Lacey and greeted her respectfully.
“May I know if you’re the person, in charge of the company, Ms. Lacey Hinton?”
“I’m the singer, Leslie Dawson. I wish to work with your company. Please consider me, Ms. Hinton.”
“My name is Harry Bojack and I’m an actor. I would like to collaborate with Trust Media, after seeing the company’s high potential. Please give me a chance, Ms. Hinton.”
“I’m the director-cum-actor Jacob Lowe. My comedy series is looking for a platform. If you’re interested, Ms. Hinton, I’m willing to work with you.”
“My name is Patrick Morray. I’m a director...”
Lacey and Jared were stupefied at their words.
What’s going on?
These were all A-list actors and celebrities.
It would be a great honor for a small company like Trust Media to work with any one of them.
Unexpectedly, they were all begging, to collaborate with Trust Media!
I’m dreaming! I must be dreaming!
Zeke flicked Lacey’s forehead. “Silly girl. Do you still wish to sell the company for one billion?”
Lacey retorted, “I’d rather sell you off than sell the company!”
Zeke was speechless. What a materialistic woman!
In the army prison, Lucius and the rest were begging, for Ryker to release them.
They regretted their actions now.
After all, they had held good jobs at Trust Media, up until recently, when they were bewitched by Conrad Lewis to quit their jobs, going against Zeke.
Conrad even promised them a bright future ahead.
As of now, not only did they not get their bright futures, but they were also running the risk of losing their lives.
Conrad has really gotten all of us in deep trouble!
Ryker sighed, “To be honest, the Great Marshal is the one who’d told me to investigate this matter.”
What? The Great Marshal?
Lucius and the others were devastated.
They knew that there was no way out now since they were being targeted by the Great Marshal.
Lucius started crying. “General Lewis, you have to save us. We’d followed your orders, so you mustn’t give up on us.”
Ryker replied, “Don’t worry. I’m not that kind of person. At midnight, I’ll lower my guard on purpose. By then, you guys may take the chance to escape from here. I’ll arrange for someone to meet you outside, sending you off to Southeast Asia together, with one billion apiece.”
Okay, okay!
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
They did not care much about the money. All they wanted was simply to continue living.
Ryker left the prison and informed his assistant, “Tonight, Lucius and the others will escape from here. Kill them then. Remember, don’t keep any of them alive.”
The assistant nodded. “I understand.”
These people knew too much.
If they remained alive, Ryker would not be at ease at all.
After the arrangements were made, he returned to the Lewis family mansion.
Robin had already informed Conrad of everything that had happened.
As of current, Conrad was frowning in displeasure.
Ryker murmured to him in a low voice, “Dad, I think that there is more to Zeke than what meets the eye. We’ve gone up against him many times now, yet we’ve lost every single time. I can’t help but feel that he’s hiding his powers, which seems to match the Great Marshal’s. I don’t think we should go against him anymore if there’s no real need to.”
Conrad sighed, “Well, he must surely be someone important, for Theodore Luna to see him as a threat. However, we’ve already promised Theodore that we’ll get rid of him. If we give up like this, Theodore won’t forgive us.”
Ryker asked, “Dad, do you have any good ideas then?”
Conrad explained, “There’s a tactic we can use. We may relieve the besieged by besieging the base of the besiegers. Looking at the current situation, I don’t think that it’s realistic for us to drive Zeke Williams away from Atheville now. So, we’ll adopt a roundabout strategy to get rid of him.”
Ryker agreed, “Okay. I’m eager to hear more.”
