Chapter 874
Fatso threatened them, “To tell you the truth, I’ve already made a copy of your data. The video that
you’ve filmed previously is of good quality, and neither you nor I could retake the scenes to produce
something just as nice. This quality is not something that can simply be bought with money. Give me
twenty million, and I’ll not only return your film but also finish filming your advertisement for you. How
does that sound?”
Lacey clenched her teeth, “That sure sounds like extortion.”
Fatso sneered, “Call it whatever you like. To tell you the truth, I heard that my boss will be changing
soon. If I tell him that I’ve secured a deal worth twenty million the moment he takes office, he might
even promote me to be vice-president of thepany! Hahaha!”
Zeke scoffed, “Do you know who that new boss is?”
Fatso replied, “It’s a secret for now, so I don’t know yet, but he’ll be taking over soon.”
Zeke nodded, “Very well. I’d wager my life that this new boss won’t make you assistant director even if
you secure a deal worth one billion.”
Fatso sneered, “I’d like to see a foreigner like you try to convince the new boss.”
Zeke nced at Lacey and queried, “Lacey, how is the standard of the advertisements they filmed?”
Lacey answered, “It’s not bad. Thispany has filmed dozens of sessful ads.”
Zeke nodded, “That’s good to hear. We’ll leave them in charge, then.”
Fatso jeered smugly, “Someone finally knows his ce.”
Zeke continued, “I won’t be forking out a single cent. All filming expenses will be borne by you.”
Damn it!
Fatso roared, “Are you trying to make a fool out of me?”
He mmed a contract on the table and kicked aptop aside. He threatened, “You’d better sign this
contract today, or I won’t be letting you leave this building!”
Zekemented, “You’ll be paying for thatptop as well.”
Fatso red at him and stormed off.
Lacey picked up the thumb drive and the wreckedputer. She sighed, “Hopefully, there will still be
some useful data in here. Zeke, let’s leave from the window. I know Atheville is full of scammers, but I
didn’t expect it to be so bad. We should never havee.”
Zeke smiled as he took the thumb drive from Lacey’s hand and ced it on the table. He consoled her,
“This thumb drive is useless now. Let’s leave it here. Rx, I’ll get you back theplete video, but
first let’s deal with Fatso.”
Lacey protested, “But...”
Lacey answered, “It’s not bad. Thispany has filmed dozens of sessful ads.”
Zeke assured her, “Leave this to me.”
Zeke assured her, “Leave this to me.”
After they left the studio, they saw that Fatso had blocked off the exit with a few security guards.
Heughed haughtily, “Brat, you won’t be leaving this ce until you sign that contract.”

Zeke scorned, “Who said anything about leaving?”
He then took a seat with Lacey.
Some workers cast pitiful gazes at Zeke, while others had a mocking expression.
“These poor youngsters. It is their misfortune to be targeted by Mr. Booth.”
“Mr. Booth is local to Atheville and has amassed quite a bit of authority. It’s impossible to escape his
ws unscathed.”
“Poord, poorss. You guys should just part with a small sum and leave. Don’t wait until he starts to
hit you physically.”
“Hmph, how dare these ignorant youngsters talk to Mr. Booth like that?”
“These foreigners know nothing. They probably haven’t heard of what Mr. Booth is capable of in
Atheville.”
“I heard Mr. Booth only asked for twenty million. That’s too little! He should have asked for thirty million,
at the very least.”
“Nah, these foreigners may not even have thirty million among the two of them.”
