Chapter 371: CrimsonPearl
Horizon’s media office building surroundings were jam-packed with people standing in a long line when Victor’s convoy reached it then headed it then headed directly to the underground parking lot where Aria who woke up early as usual was waiting for him with a few managers and the director Steven Silberburg who were dressed formally.
Today was when the public audition for the new movie series Dragon Princess: The Reckoning (Working Title) would be held, and it was an important public event for the company's future!
As soon as the cars stopped and Victor’s pretty wives poured out the executives couldn’t help but bow respectfully. It was not their fault. The girls were just that pretty.
“Good morning sir!” the executives greeted, but Victor just gave them a cold nod and then looked at Aria.
“Why are there many people outside? Didn’t I tell you to screen them and keep only 1%?” he asked. He didn’t want to stay all day.
“Those are the 5% of those who requested to participate! We have to screen them beforehand!” Aria said, making Victor a little shocked, this hadn’t happened in his past lifetime. Back then Horizon Media although famous, was never able to cause such a sensation!
“It must be the wedding!” Margret, who finished parking the car said as she helped Elise in her wheelchair. The girl still needed to act as if she had not been cured yet.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
“Yes, it was free publicity for the company!” Aria nodded. “The reception office has been busy lately with all kinds of partnership offers!” After the wedding, many of the residents of Wiren principality became aware that the one behind Horizons media was some very noble bigshot.
“Whatever... Then let’s go, I don’t have all day to waste!” Victor said then quickly turned and headed towards the auditorium followed by Lily and Lin who hurried wanting to take the seats beside him.
Vanessa who was in the car with the girls looked at Mona and the twins and then walked after him. She wanted to see how her son would fare in the audition. She spotted them near the door outside waiting for his turn while striking up a conversation with some big-boobed slutty girl.
“What’s wrong with Victor?” Aria asked as she raised one eyebrow. Victor was in a very good mood in the morning when she left.
“A fish escaped, slipping right from his hands back into the ocean... It was a very big fish! ” Margret replied as she casually shook hands with the managers and introduced Elise to them.
Margret was at the moment the company's vice president after all, and while Aria was responsible for the general management and the publishing division, Margret was responsible for the creative and investment sides.
“Oh... That’s a first!” Aria, who understood what Margret meant, said in surprise. How could some girl escape Victor’s grasp? Was this even possible?
“Yeah... I bet he will go fishing again very soon to vent his anger...” Margret sighed.
...
When Victor arrived at his seat the auditorium was already packed full with many invited guests and participants who had been here since yesterday to get a seat.
Mike with his twin wives who left the mansion early with Aria was sitting there right behind Victor when he sat. “Do you really have to hold a public audition?” Mike asked as he looked around.
“I plan to expand the company’s activities and this is a good chance to fish for prospective Actors... Even if we aren't chosen for this movie, I will make sure to sign them up to work for me!” he explained as he began to look around while licking his lips and noticing the pretty young actresses who came here. He had an image to maintain after all.
“Oh...” Mike nodded, he wasn’t really in the media business.
“Just wondering... Is there a woman who is not a slut in your movie?” Mike asked with a smile as he watched his nervous wives prepare for their turn.
“Who knows...” Victor dodged the question as he watched Honey and Bonny play the role to perfection. Although they didn't have to, they must have been training hard yesterday, he could see the black circles around their eyes.
Finishing with those Victor yawned as he watched the auditions one by one, not interfering at all. He was still detected because of losing Tulip. This girl was supposed to be his trump card.
Still, it was not a total loss, as he now has an idea about the Lords, those guys seemed to be ruled by some of the same set of rules that apply to every other player, as that Lord, Hua Hua, was not able to curse him as she intended due to insufficient authority.
Although he should try to avoid them in his future plans, he must find a way to scam some of them for contingencies. For now, he had to wait and see if that bloodlord would make a move or not.
Suddenly the sound of yelling forced Victor to wake up from his contemplations and look up.
On the stage, a young man was cursing at the judges because they asked him to leave without letting him continue acting the scene. It was clear that he had been rejected.
“You are not fit!” Elise who seemed to be the one who rejected the guy said. “Your sound is too soft for the role...” she said, causing the man to suddenly jump off stage and approach her.
“Too soft? FUCK YOU! You are the soft one! Do you know who my father is?” He asked angrily, as from under his shirt he took a gun fired around on the ceiling, and pointed it at Elise while the other judges ducked under the table, this included Margret who secretly activated a deflection Talisman before she began to move.
“Is my sound manly enough now?” the guy yelled angrily, making Elise shiver a little as many in the audience ducked down while others hurried to try to leave. The guards who wanted to approach the man froze as Elise, who was in a wheelchair and couldn't dodge, was virtually taken hostage.
“How can a blind girl judge my talent... I will kill you bitch, you better return to your job of f*cking your husband’s...” The guy didn’t continue as two gunshots sounded and a streak of blood began to drip from the man’s now empty hand. And his crotch where a 1-inch hole appeared!
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You SHOT ME!” the guy shouted in disbelief as he looked to the side where Margret who crawled to the other side of the judged table used her personal ruby studded gun to shoot him.
Beating even Victor who didn’t have the chance to use the gun that secretly took from his storage ring moments earlier.
“So what?” Margret asked as she slowly stood up, then began dusting her dress that seemed to have been damaged a little when she crawled on the ground earlier, “Fuck! It is all ruined! Do you know how much this dress cost me? I had to literally work my ass off to get Victor to buy it for me!” she cursed while flailing her gun at him. It was as if ruining her dress was more important than the poor man losing his manhood.
“YOU!...” The man who was fuming with anger wanted to say something but he collapsed to the ground in pain moments later as his brain began to process what happened. He didn’t stay there for long as two burly chicks quickly apprehended then dragged him away. Firstly, they would heal him and then, for the next year or two, he would play the role of a regenerable snack for the hounds.
“Ehm... Sorry for that... We will take a small rest for lunch now... We will continue after 15 Minutes!” Mira quickly announced as many people began to flee and the cleaning crew ran to the stage to clean the blood off it.
“That girl is good...” Mike said, eyeing Margret, he should have stolen it from Victor when he had a chance in Newlure City. Sluts like her were a rare find!
“I know... She is the best,” Victor nodded as he put his gun away. He gave his girls a reassuring look, then started sending Kai instructions to find any news about that young man. Victor didn’t believe in coincidences, and that man’s actions were definitely not random!
“Do you have a moment? I want to have a private word with you...” Mike suddenly said, looking at his watch.
“Let’s go and grab something to eat,” Victor nodded and said then looked at Lily who gave him a nod before she hurried toward Elise who seemed a little shaken. As a little girl she was not really used to such situations, still during the whole ordeal, she kept her act as a brave blind girl, playing the role perfectly.
