However, Valentin’s unease quickly dissipated as he realized that the two girls in front of him were harmless.
If there was anything lethal about them, it would be their curvy bodies and delicate faces.
Valentin let out a sigh of relief and scolded himself for being overly cautious. After all, he had been living a comfortable life for too long, which made him timid and fearful. He continued to examine the two girls.
The two girls smiled softly, exuding charm and allure.
Although Valentin’s appearance was peculiarly ugly, he had the final say in casting roles for every film. So for many people, this was a rare opportunity.
The two girls also appeared anxious and hopeful.
They were both graduating next June and were currently in the internship phase. If they could land a role, even if it was just a small supporting role, they would be content.
Valentin understood their eager anticipation. He continued to gaze at them intently, his breathing becoming rapid.
The two girls noticed his gaze but showed no signs of shyness. Instead, they stood tall and confidently accepted Valentin’s scrutiny.
“Mr. Sheffield, what do you think of us?” one of the girls asked.
Valentin withdrew his gaze from them and took a sip of tea. “You have the looks and figures,” he replied.
“But as your elder, I don’t recommend you enter this industry. The showbiz is chaotic, and to succeed, you need not only talent but also dedication.”
“Do you understand what I mean?” he asked as both girls nodded in response.
Valentin maintained his kind demeanor. “You both have great potential, but I really don’t want to see you go astray.”
“Mr. Sheffield, it’s our own choice,” one of the girls replied.
A girl with long hair straightened her back and continued, “Although we are still college students, we are well aware of society.”
“Nowadays, without putting in effort, there will be no rewards. If we can become leading or even major supporting actresses just by spending a night with someone, it would be worth it.”
“Besides, we are not naive girls anymore.”
“Good!” Valentin’s eyes lit up with excitement as he stood up from his chair and walked slowly behind the two girls, emitting an evil laugh.
“It’s impressive how you understand the ways of the world at such a young age. I really admire you both. I can make the decision now. You can sign with our company.”
He reached out and touched their backs before moving to their front and pinching their cheeks. “But whether you can become famous depends on your own performance.”
The two girls nodded eagerly. “Mr. Sheffield, rest assured, we will do our best.”
Valentin was satisfied. “As long as you work hard and listen to instructions, I believe you will become famous.”
“In the past two years, our company has produced four A-list female stars and eight popular young actors who are highly sought after.”
Valentin skillfully manipulated their emotions as he caressed their smooth skin. “At Radiant Entertainment, we focus on developing newcomers. If you have potential, we will provide full support in the future.”
“By then, you won’t just act in movies but also star in TV dramas directed by renowned directors and feature in various brand advertisements.”
“We can even establish a studio specifically for you where you can write songs and lyrics, release albums, and hold concerts.”
“That sounds amazing!”
The eyes of the two girls sparkled with excitement as they imagined themselves becoming the center of attention. Valentin continued to entice them with promises.
“If you agree to this, someone will come later to have you sign the contract with preferential treatment.”
“After signing the contract, our staff will take you to the nearest filming location. However, specific role assignments are still subject to discussion.”
“Today, after signing the contract, since I have some free time tonight, let’s have dinner together and discuss the rules.”
Valentin retracted his hands from them and took a deep breath. “Youth is truly wonderful.”
“Thank you, Mr. Sheffield.”
“Thank you, Mr. Sheffield.”
The two girls exclaimed excitedly, “We will work hard for sure.”
Of course, they were adults who knew that after tonight’s dinner, they would probably have to submit to Valentin.
Valentin took out his phone to call his legal team when he glanced out the window and saw dozens of deliverymen who were holding long narrow boxes approaching…
At first glance, it seemed like delayed deliveries had arrived.
Valentin furrowed his brows as he focused on one person among them-Gisselle.
Suddenly, his body jolted as five or six vans entered through the company gate. Dozens of people wearing delivery uniforms stepped out of each van.
Valentin immediately dialed a number on his phone and shouted at the security personnel downstairs. “Close the gate! Don’t let them-”
Before he could finish speaking, his eyelid twitched as he saw two girls raising their hands with something sharp in their palms.
Instinctively, Valentin dodged by leaping backward along with his chair.
“Bam!”
Almost simultaneously as Valentin moved away from his original position, sharp projectiles pierced into where he had been sitting before making a buzzing sound as they hit against the chair.
Valentin’s expression changed slightly as he shouted and forcefully slammed his back into the chair before sending it flying away.
“Bang!”
The two girls instinctively evaded as the chair smashed against the wall and shattered into pieces upon impact.
Taking advantage of the moment, Valentin let out a wild cry, springing into action with the agility of a monkey.
He crashed directly into one of the girls, his force sending her stumbling backward with a muffled grunt, like a kite with its string cut.
Before the other girl could react, Valentin spun around and struck her with both palms. She spat out a mouthful of blood and crashed into the wall, collapsing to the ground.
Then Valentin shouted again and kicked both girls while they were down until they lost their ability to fight back.
The two girls were still alive but rendered powerless. Their eyes filled with shock as they hadn’t expected this short man to be so formidable.
Their plan to capture him encountered unexpected changes.
“Before you try to kill me, you should have investigated how capable I am,” Valentin said while continuously leaping around like a monkey.
After saying that, he lunged forward again, intending to interrogate the two girls when suddenly screams came from outside. Valentin opened up surveillance footage on his phone.
He saw chaos unfolding in the lobby as those in delivery uniforms mercilessly attacked Radiant Entertainment without any warning.
“Ah-”
Over a dozen security personnel fell into pools of blood during this sudden assault.
Valentin activated an alarm before quickly rushing out of his office and running away immediately.
He moved swiftly down the stairs, and as he reached the fourth floor, he climbed out the window with the agility of a monkey.
As soon as he landed, he sprinted toward the back door, effortlessly leaping over grass, flowerbeds, and rocks as if they were nothing but minor obstacles.
Five minutes later, dressed in a janitor’s uniform, Valentin emerged in the alley behind the company. He ran quickly while casting a wary glance at the building.
“Damn it! They actually dared to ambush me. Just wait until I gather my crew. I’ll make you pay!”
He longed to take revenge on Gisselle and other Apex members, but he was outnumbered, and it would be easy for the Apex to surround him, so Valentin decided to bide his time.
“Abandoning your own brothers-don’t you feel any guilt?”
Just as he was about to turn into another alley after running over twenty meters, an imposing figure appeared. Callum charged forward like a cheetah.
At the same time, he raised his axe, and with a whoosh, the red blade flew toward Valentin. His expression shifted, and he sprang to the side like a shooting star.
“Thump!”
Almost as soon as Valentin moved, the red axe struck the ground, sending shards of stone flying.
