Chapter 963
Lord Protector Novel
Lacey instantly felt dejected and sighed heavily, âThe artists have all left. Now that even our employees have quit, our company canât operate at all. What should we do now? Zeke, why donât we just think of a way to sell the company off?â
Zeke comforted her and murmured, âLacey, didnât I tell you that the Great Marshal has appointed us to make a movie?â
Lacey rolled her eyes at Zeke petulantly. âYouâd believe it? Not even a little kid will believe you.â
Then, she turned to leave.
Zeke was dumbfounded.
Mia asked in a soft voice, âMr. Williams, what should we do next? Since our technical staff has quit, most of our companyâs jobs canât be finished within the stipulated time. Iâm afraid that weâll have to breach most of our job contracts.â
Zeke responded, âI guess weâll have to absorb more artists and technical staff then.â
Mia smiled bitterly. âMr. Williams, Iâm afraid that youâre still unaware of whatâs going on. Lucius Johansson has gathered all of the bigshots in the industry to discuss the military project. However, his true intention is to curry favor with them, having them blacklist Trust Media. None of the artists nor technical staff would dare to work with us anymore. It will be difficult to attract anyone at all.â
Zeke answered, âWho told you to attract them? Iâd said that we are to absorb them. Donât worry, theyâll take the initiative to join us.â
Mia was speechless.
What nerve he has, speaking in such a manner!
Zeke stretched his body. âLetâs go and check out the fun.â
Mia asked, âWhere are we going?â
Zeke announced flippantly, âTo meet Lucius.â
Mia was speechless yet again.
Lucius has gathered all of the bigshots in the industry to blacklist you, yet youâre going to watch the fun? Youâre going to walk directly into their trap!
After a while, the two of them reached their destination, Golden Pictures.
It used to be Luciusâ phantom company, which was only used as a front to market Trust Mediaâs business. After getting its commissions, it had Trust Media do the jobs, while it pocketed the high middleman fees, earning millions in the process.
Trust Mediaâs founder, the Williams family, was wealthy enough to turn a blind eye to Luciusâ actions.
However, the boss of Trust Media was now Zeke Williams.
He decided to force Lucius to spit out all of the money that he had ripped off, from them.
Zeke and Mia entered the company, which was brimming with excitement, as many people had arrived.
The media industryâs bigshots were all gathered here today.
All of these people held much power and influence within the industry.
In the crowd, Mia even found her ex-bosses.
As of now, these bigshots were surrounding Lucius, trying hard to curry favor, as they built their connections with him.
If they had the opportunity to work with Luciusâ military project, they would certainly prosper in their respective professions.
After all, the ordinary actor who had later worked on a military project, Tom Paget, had made a name for himself in just a few years after collaborating with the military.
They had failed to grab the previous opportunity, so they couldnât let this chance slip by them now!
The photographer Adam Count, along with the others who had just quit their jobs at Trust Media were unable to get close to Lucius at all.
Unexpectedly, Adam suddenly noticed Zeke. His eyes lit up at once. Hereâs a chance for me to get close to Lucius!
He quickly shouted, âZeke, Mia, why are you guys following me here? Iâve already said it before and Iâll say it again, Iâm going over to Mr. Johanssonâs side! Donât expect me to work with you anymore!â
Everyone turned to look at Zeke and Mia.
They wondered why these two had come.
Lucius was elated.
Zeke had caused him to get sent to prison before, so he was going to take the opportunity to avenge himself.
