Chapter 64 Ch 62: A Familiar Face

Tomorrow came a little too fast for Yohan but he was ready to face it. It was finally time to see all the seeds he had sown over the years bear fruit. The first thing he had to do was to get his name in the filming project.’

Zane smacked the papers in front of Yohan as soon as they got into the car. They both were the only ones who were going to the studio to discuss this project.

“Let’s go over the stuff we need to know about this meeting beforehand. First, we are an investor in the movie ‘Dawn’. It is a new project and aims at the younger generation. The reason we are taking this approach is that there are a lot of young minds that we can influence.”

Zane's explanation was swift and to the point. He had summed up everything Yohan already knew. It was interesting but not necessary to know in the grand scheme of things.

“There will be a total of three investors in this project. Us, the Khans, and the Saint group. I don’t think I need to tell you about the Khans but you should be careful while dealing with the Saints. They are not only our opponent financially but also spiritually.”

Yohan understood what Zane was trying to tell him. He had already had a run-in with a few members of the church and other organizations dedicated to eradicating evil on the earth.

There was no need for Zane to tell Yohan what would happen if he was discovered. Heaven would know that Yohan was back and he would be killed off again.

“Don’t worry. I know when to keep my head down. I am still not strong enough to take on an archangel.”

Yohan knew he had gained a lot of power but it could not compare to the archangel he had faced back then. There was still a long way to go before Yohan was ready for anything big.

“Well, since you are aware of whom you have to be careful of, we should focus on who we are targeting here. Look and memorize this face.”

Zane picked out a photo from the bundle he had been carrying in his arms. The photo he pressed down had a handsome face printed on its cover.

The man on that cover had a square jaw, shoulder-length grey hair, and striking green cat-like eyes. He was quite a striking figure and his features made him easy to remember.

“This is Klien Kent, our target this time and also the most influential actor in the industry right now when it comes to action films. We need to get him on our side.”

Yohan picked up the image to get a better look but he was instantly alarmed at noticing some oddities in that image. This man, Klein Kent was no ordinary human. His eyes had a weird light in them that was reflecting light.

A human might have thought it to be a camera trick if they ever noticed it. And it would not be their fault since they did not know any better.

But Yohan did know better so he also noticed that oddity.

“Zane, this man is-”

“A warlock. They are a demi-human race and mostly neutral when a conflict arises. It won’t hurt to have one on our side in case of an emergency. Besides, they are really difficult to track down so this is our only choice for now.”

Zane sounded bitter about the fact that they only had one choice in this matter. Yohan looked back at the Warlock in the picture before putting it down.

This warlock looked like a pretty boy who had never seen suffering but looks could often be deceiving. If this person had survived in the industry to rise to the top, despite it being full of supernatural creatures, then this man might be worth it.

Yohan suddenly had a lot to do once his meeting with the producers was over.

The car finally stopped in front of a huge mixed-use complex. It was the headquarters of the Khan industries, the place where this dead was supposed to take place.

The Saints had thought it to be a neutral ground since Khans were a new name in the industry and did not have a preference or a way to influence what would happen.

But little did they know that Yohan already had a way to get the Khans under his control and get them on his side.

“Zane, it’s time to face the music. Brace yourself now.”

Yohan whispered before he got out of the car. Cameras flashed toward his silhouette, capturing his adult form.

No one questioned why he had suddenly become an adult, the law of the world doing its joy to make everything seem as normal when it came to Yohan’s age.

And then he finally managed to enter the building. And the first person he met at the gate was a familiar blond lady clad in a tight black dress and white fur.

Her green eyes looked back at Yohan with intrust but also suspicion. It was none other than Layle Khan.

“Mrs. Khan, let me introduce you to our president, Mr. Yohan Strout.”

Zane gestured toward the beautiful lady and Yohan extended his hand for a shake.

////////////////////////////////////////////

Layla Khan had gotten into the entertainment industry a few years ago. It was closing into eight years but she had yet to move on from the title of a greenhorn in the industry.

She had a few successful projects under her name but her real problem was that she was not fully committed to the entertainment industry.

And how could she be fully committed to this industry when her master was not back to guide her? She had been given a vision but no other instructions about how to proceed.

So she had done her best for now and managed to create a gateway into the entertainment industry. But she had not tried to push in harder until now. And it was all because of the man in front of her - Zane.

“Mrs. Khan, let me introduce you to our president, Mr. Yohan Strout.”

Layla Khan’s beautiful eyes widened as soon as she heard that name. She quickly looked up, only to see an unfamiliar face looking back at her.

But there was something familiar about those red eyes and the energy they carried. She had a suspicion but she could not say for sure if the person in front of her was the same one she was thinking about or not.

But she was willing to find out slowly. Especially since this person had come along with Zane, the only person who had hinted that he knew her master.

“Mr. Strout, it is a pleasure to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about you and I am also really interested to be working with you in the future weeks.”

Ah yes, Layla was extremely ready and excited to be working with Yohan. She was sure that Maya would be excited as well once she hears about their master’s potential return.

Even the feeling of shock and pleasure Layla felt as she grasped Yohan Strout’s hand was similar to the one her master gave her.

But the true test could only be performed in the bed. Layle had a few plans to make that happen but she had to play her cards right.

“If it is not too much trouble for Mr. Strout, then would you be interested in a dinner party tonight? It is being hosted by our Khan group and will be held at our signature restaurant. I would be delighted if you came.”

Layla was putting the bait up and now she only needed the fish to bite.

She was a little nervous about not being accepted outright but her master was not that cruel. She was sure that she would not be denied this opportunity.

“I dinner party? I would be delighted to come. Would your lovely daughter come along as well? I’ve heard that she is an excellent actress now.”

Layla smiled as she caught the small slip of tongue Yohan made. He spoke like he knew Maya personally but Yohan Strout had never met Maya before.

It was becoming more and more clear to her that this person was her master Yohan but in another form.

She was not sure how it was possible or if it was natural or not. But Layla had always thought her master to not be a normal human.

As a royal descendant, she had heard a lot of stories about supernatural creatures. So she could somewhat make it out that her master was a person of another race. But it did not matter to Layla.

She had pledged her loyalty to him so she would follow him along.

“Mr. Khan, I know you have a lot you want to discuss with Mr. Strout but we are in a harry right now. May we talk during the evening party you will be hosting?”

Zane interrupted Layla before she could ask Master Yohan to accompany her inside. But Master Yohan also looked like he agreed with Zane. She was annoyed but she did understand that she could not monopolize her master’s time.

Especially not when he did not look interested in going with her right now. So she would back off and try again later.
