She even added, âIâm the one who found Tyler first. He has great potential and is very suitable to expand his career in the entertainment industry. If you arenât able to do that, Iâll see who will be able to provide the best offer with the most resources. Then, he will sign a contract with them.â
There was a tinge of threat in her tone, causing a look of anger to flash across Richardâs eyes, but he eventually compromised.
He was the one who discovered Tyler Murray and the Glory Public Relations Team made him popular. If Tyler had signed the contract with other companies, it was almost as if they were receiving a ready-made product without exercising much effort.
Anyway, the Glory Public Relations Teamâs goal had always been the sameâto sabotage Taylor Murrayâs chances of securing the role of Mark Fletcher. Richard thought, Why donât I first agree to lure Tyler over?
He immediately agreed. âSure, no problem. I will invest more money in public relations to make the progress quicker. As long as we have money, we donât have to worry about hiring ghostwriters online.
Now that Taylor Murray can no longer turn the tides, the documentary filming crew has moved on.
Apart from that, the ghostwriters I hired have taken over the filming crew. âWar Dragonâ has also halted filming. If nothing out of the ordinary happens, there will be news about the change of characters being reported on the news.â
Sophia nodded. âAlright, I still trust that you are capable of handling matters like this, Richard.â
After they happily reached a âconsensusâ, they walked out of the cafe. Richard suddenly sighed. âSophia, do you still remember when weââ
âNo, I donât.â
Sophia gave him a cold one-word answer and walked off in a haste after seeing Michaelâs car at the parking spot in front of the entrance.
Michaelâs face was revealed after he rolled down the car window. He wore a white shirt that contrasted with his red lips and white teeth, making him look like a young, handsome and attractive man.
Tyler Murray!
Richard immediately recognized the man in the car.
He wanted to bypass Sophia and directly sign a contract with Tyler, but he could not search for his whereabouts.
Hence, he only watched helplessly as she opened the car door and kissed the man in the car intimately before they drove away.
Richard resentfully watched the car disappear from his field of sight.
Sophia, one day, you will have to kneel before me to beg me like how you used to!
In the car, Michael was also playing the game that Stanley developed.
He had to admit that the shooting game designed by a sniper was indeed different from the average onesâit was more interesting and fun to play.
It also seemed that Stanley had inherited the mutated genes from the Fletcher Family since his talents were in game design. The game that he developed had good prospectsâif he worked hard on it, he would be able to achieve huge success.
âEh, are you into games as well, hubby?â Sophia asked curiously.
Michael replied, âI donât really know; thatâs why Iâm having a go at it. It actually looks rather decent, though. Iâm planning to transfer another 10 million to Stanley for him to play around with.â
Ten million⦠to play around withâ¦
During the mid-term exams, Sophia stayed at home to ârecover from her illnessâ while Abel still investigated the whereabouts of Phantom Wolf. For the current moment, she hadnât returned to university, but she sometimes visited Stanleyâs office to take a look at the place. After Michael invested 30 million in the company, she had personally invested 10 million into it. In addition to Stanleyâs personal wealth and a few other donations he received, the company was able to start its business.
As Sophia majored in finance and law, she had to deal with the companyâs finance and legal matters on a part-time basis before they were able to engage an accountant. It just so happened that she had received her accountancy qualification.
Since it was also her first time in starting a business, she followed Stanley around for a few days out of curiosity.
In his office, Stanley bragged proudly. âLet me tell you thisâyou know Scary Phoenix, right? The Scary Phoenix in the âSwordsman Gameâ is an incredible person!â
Sophia was in the midst of drafting an employment contract for him when she heard him mentioning the name of her master in the game. âI know about Scary Phoenix; heâs the top player in âSwordsman Gameâ. Whatâs up with him?â
He replied, âYou canât tell others what Iâm about to tell you. Scary Phoenix is the secret boss of the entire âSwordsman Gameâ.â
F*ck!
So, the secret boss of the âSwordsman Gameâ is actually Scary Phoenix! No wonder I canât defeat him in the game!
Although Stanley had failed at competing for the same woman with Michael, it had not defeated his will.
After all, he was well aware that he was not up to his uncleâs standard in competing for the same woman.
Even though Uncle Michael may be a jerk sometimes, his power is way beyond what a human being has!
Speaking of Michael, Stanleyâs eyes were filled with admiration.
âBack then, the âSwordsman Gameâ was also founded by a few students from Bayside Universityâand they asked Scary Phoenix to be their angel investor. After playing the game for an entire night, he decided to invest 20 million. 20 million, Sophia! The value of 20 million a decade ago is different from now! At that time, cyber cafes and locally developed online games werenât even popular. When Scary Phoenix immediately invested 20 million on a few immature students to develop an online game⦠Tsk, everyone said that it would be a waste. However, a few years after that, their profit has increased at least a hundred times!â
Upon hearing that, she suddenly felt an immense respect for Scary Phoenix, never expecting that her master would be such a visionary and firm person.
Stanley added, âApart from âSwordsman Gameâ, Scary Phoenix has also invested in many other online games. Right now, he has invested in almost all of the popular locally developed online games. Based on this income itself, he could easily be on the countryâs millionaires list.â
âI see.â Sophia stapled the contract together. âHow did you know about this so clearly?â
He was vindictive. âOf course Iâm clear about all of this! He is the God of E-games and my idol! He has also seen my game and given me a lot of advice. A game that Scary Phoenix approves will definitely be popular!â
She quickly caught the main point. âHave you seen Scary Phoenix in person? How does he look?â
He smiled mysteriously. âItâs a secret.â
She was suddenly interested in her master. Just as she was about to ask further questions, he picked up a phone call. After he hung up, he announced to everyone, âBuckle up, guys. Some rich investors are visiting us.â
He ran outside in excitement. Two people had entered not too long after that and he brought them around the company with an introduction. âAlthough this is a new company, we have slowly hired enough peopleâall of whom are highly skilled and top students from Bayside University.â
Sophia craned her neck to have a look, curious to see who the incoming rich investors were. However, she never expected to see Daniel and Harry the moment she stretched her neck. Fine, they are indeed rich investors.
After Stanley introduced the newly developed game and its most recent statistics, he behaved in a coquettish manner. âMr. Harry, please invest some money on me. Even a little bit is enough. Uncle Michael has already invested 30 million in this. No matter what, you have to invest at least 8 to 10 million! Mr. Daniel, give me some as well!â
As they were wealthy investors, they could freely donate an amount of their choice. âSince your uncle has already invested in this, Iâll just finance 10 million.â
âIâm not that rich, but Iâll give you 5 million first.â
âThanks to the both of you!â
After sending them out, Stanley led another two rich investorsâa male and a female.
âUncle Joel, Uncle Michael has already given me 30 million. Why donât you invest some money too, Aunt Irene?â
He had successfully persuaded them to invest a few hundred millions on him once more.
After Sophia finished with the paperwork in his company, she went home and had dinner before watching the news.
Many netizes were still viciously attacking Taylor Murray, who seemed to be hated by the entire nation at that point. After they were done with Taylor, they continued to attack his agency, scold Harry, and even the filming crew of âWar Dragonâ.
Judging by how crazy the comments are, many ghostwriters must have been hired. It has only been a few days and it has already arrived at this stage. Richard must have spent a lot of money on this.
Campaigns for public relations were costlyâsome even estimated that 30% of a celebrityâs income was used to pay for public relations.
However, if the Harper Family was able to have their own celebrities star as the lead actor of âWar Dragonâ as well as secure Mark Fletcherâs role from the documentary, it would still be profitable for them.
However, if they donâtâ¦
