Over on this end, Ryker drove Robin back to the Lewis Family’s home.
Feeling blue, Robin’s face was full of indignation.
“Gah, those rabbles refuse to stick to their own promises, switching camps so easily. These kinds of people deserve
to be poor their entire lives. They’ve ruined our great plan, so I won’t be letting them off so easily!”
Ryker chided, “Robin, don’t do anything to them for now. Zeke is a sly fellow and he’s definitely onto us. As my
identity is rather unique, if we were to harm those rabbles, gaining his attention in the process, he’ll definitely
refuse to let us go.”
Robin felt desolate upon hearing his words. “Nonetheless, I’m unwilling to let Zeke off so easily.”
Ryker sneered, “Even if you’re willing to do so, it wouldn’t sit right with me. So what if he has a good reputation? If
no artists are willing to sign under his company, they wouldn’t be able to operate smoothly.”
Robin murmured, “However, we don’t have any connections within the entertainment industry. How are we to
influence a large number of artists, spanning across the whole of Eurasia?”
Ryker reminded her, “Although we don’t have any connections, Lucius does.”

Ryker sucked in a deep breath. “It looks like I’ll have to use the power of my status in the military.”
Robin’s eyes lit up.
Nothing was more powerful than one’s status.
Everything else was useless, in the face of an individual with high status.
With Ryker’s status, it would be a piece of cake for him to blacklist an entertainment agency.
On the same day, Ryker personally bailed Lucius and five of his artists out of jail, handing the police a large sum of
bail money.
However, Lucius and the others remained down in the dumps.
So what if they’d regained freedom?
Their image had been destroyed in the eyes of their fans.
Without fans, they could no longer remain in the entertainment circle.
In that case, their futures were bleak, as they no longer had a place to turn to.
Ryker announced to Lucius, “Lucius, I want you to blacklist Trust Media and disallow all collaborations of artists with
that company.”
Lucius sighed, “This would’ve been a piece of cake for me in the past. Unfortunately, now that I’ve just gotten out of
jail, with my reputation in shreds, I’ll be certain that nobody in the entertainment circle would be willing to listen to
me.”
Ryker answered, “If your reputation is in shreds, all you need to do is to rebuild it from scratch.”
Lucius smiled bitterly. “It’s incredibly challenging to build one’s reputation in the entertainment circle. I’d only
gotten this far after such a long time. If I wish to get back up to where I was before, I’ll need at least five years of
time.”
Ryker replied, “What if I personally help you to rebuild your reputation?”
Lucius’ eyes lit up. “General Lewis, do explain further.”
Ryker proclaimed, “In the name of the military, I shall provide you the necessary funds to direct a military
documentary.”
What?
Lucius could not believe his ears.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith a military background, he would truly earn a distinguished reputation in the entertainment circle!
If he were to direct a military documentary as such, even the bigshots of the industry would have to bow down to
him. What more, if it were regarding the management of small matters, such as, ordering artists around?
This is a blessing in disguise!
Lucius immediately saluted Ryker. “Thank you for the help, General. Don’t worry. I’ll guarantee you that Trust Media
won’t be able to survive in the industry after I’m finished with them.”
Without haste, Lucius immediately took action.
He called all the bigshots in the industry, telling them that there was a project that he had wanted to discuss, with
them.
Initially, most of them declined, using the excuse that they were busy. Nonetheless, upon discovering that this
project was being funded by the military, they immediately changed their minds and agreed to come over at once.
Even their manner of speech became polite, as they kept humble.
After informing the bigshots of his plan, Lucius called Trust Media’s employees.
Not only did he intend to sever all business collaborations of Trust Media, but rather, he had also wanted to clear
the company out from within, so as to accelerate its destruction.
