Chapter 960


    Zeke turned to Ryker with a smile. “Could you exin why they were begging for your help the moment


    they were arrested, General Lewis? You must be close friends with them. ording to the rules, you


    should fall back if your close ones break thew. I hope you won’t interfere with this case, lest you get


    yourself into trouble.”


    Ryker gnashed his teeth while ring at Zeke.


    This b****** sure is sly.


    “I suppose I’ve underestimated you, Williams. Still, no matter what you do, you’re nothing but a clown


    to me! Leave Atheville in three days, or you’ll never be able to get out of here alive.”


    Zeke’s gaze was full of contempt. “Let me give you a warning too, then. Hand the Lewis and Williams


    families over, or I’ll wipe your entire household out.”


    “P*** off!” Robin shrieked. “Who has given the abandoned son of the Williams family the right to make


    such insolent statements? Just you wait. The Lewis n is now practically royalty. It’ll be a piece of


    cake to get rid of you! Let’s go, Ryker.”


    After the two left, Lacey walked out, with a few bags full of belongings.


    “Let’s go, Zeke... Hmm? Where did everyone go?”


    Zeke smiled. “Where are we going, Lacey?”


    “Back to Rivermouth, of course. Thepany’s not ours anymore.”


    “Robin Williams had only offered us twenty million. I turned her down.”


    Lacey sighed, “With the situation that we’re in, even twenty million would be more than enough. We


    can’t ask for too much, or we’d end up with nothing.”


    “Hmm? What situation are we in now?”


    “Our reputation’s all gone! How will we survive without any word of mouth?”


    Zeke smiled and handed his phone to Lacey. “For some reason, I don’t think we’ve lost our reputation.


    Take a look.”


    Lacey nced at a news article and was instantly thrilled.


    ording to the article, fans of the five A-list celebrities had arrived at Trust Media to cause a stir.


    However, they ‘stumbled upon’ a few documents on their way over.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    These documents were the under-the-table agreements that the artists had signed for tax evasion


    purposes.


    Feeling hurt about their idols breaking thew, these fans came to regret their actions and eventually


    turned against their idols, before rifying the incident with the media.


    They exined that they had been hired by the five artists to cause a scene at Trust Media.


    The artists wanted to ruin Trust Media’s reputation so that they could buy thepany over at a low


    price.


    They even wanted their bosses to be ced behind bars.


    The coboration between these five artists certainly brought about huge repercussions.


    This piece of news instantly made headlines on every major news outlet. The topic ended up trending


    multiple times within the same day.


    Public opinion soon switched over to Trust Media’s side, condemning the five A-list celebrities instead.


    The five artists’ reputations plummeted entirely. Some industry leaders even proceeded to publicly


    boycott them.


    Lacey was on cloud nine. “Thepany will survive now that it’s gotten its reputation back. We won’t


    be able to sell it off at its original price of three billion, but surely it can be sold off for at least two


    billion.”


    “Why should we still sell thepany off?” Zeke asked in confusion.


    “What’s the point if we’ve gotten our reputation back? We don’t have any more outstanding artists


    signed to us. Don’t underestimate Lucius Johansson’swork. Even if he’s been arrested, no one will


    work with us, as long as he puts his word out.”


    Zeke nodded thoughtfully.


    Lacey has a point.


    Looks like I’ll have to make use of my identity as the ‘Great Marshal’ to protect Trust Media.
