Julia was in seventh heaven. Her lifelong dream had come true. Tristar Entertainment had recognized her talent, and Haley B would launch her in a big-budget movie! Finally, after years of hard work and sacrifice, she was on the path to celebrity status. After Victor and Haley left, many of the rejected candidates approached Julia and sucked up to her. If you couldn't become a celebrity, joining a future celebrity's entourage was wise. Julia promised the rejects that she would never forget them.The beauty had to go through an hour-long orientation from the Tristar Entertainment staff before leaving. She returned to the audition hall to find that everybody else had left. The candidates had been evacuated through a backdoor exit to avoid the media.Julia sighed and headed towards the main exit. "Mom, I got the big break!" she texted on her phone and walked out the hall's double doors.Outside, a young woman greeted her with a smile. It was none other than Daphne. She had been waiting ou

"Slicy Kyle, they call him," Dave continued. "I met the guy once, and he's scary as hell! He wields a black machete as a weapon. Kyle wouldn't think twice before maiming or killing anybody. It is wise not to mess with him.""I'm not worried about a two-time kid playing with knives," Victor replied with disinterest. During the Pacific World War, he humbled legendary warriors. Recently, he killed Titus Chrome within seconds of sparring. Insignificant idiots like Kyle were more like a nuisance to society, insects to be swatted.Dave shook his head. "You don't understand, Victor. His elder brother is Edward Shannon, one of the wealthiest billionaires of Springfield. I heard Edward is associated with the Triumvirate now, which doubled his influence. Therefore, Kyle has become invincible. He established a real estate agency in this tough business environment and succeeded. He has also started a models' agency; from what I heard, he signed Julia Cameron, the Tristar Entertainment actress." V

On the topmost floor of the models' agency, a young man relaxed on a recliner lounge with his eyes closed. He was wearing no pants, and before him knelt Daphne. She was topless, and her head bobbed up and down over the young man's crotch."Yeah… That's it, baby…" Kyle groaned. "You are pretty good at this…"Daphne raised her head and looked at him seductively. Her lips were wet and drooling over. "Anything for you, Mr. Shannon… You deserved some pleasure after your brilliant ideas came to fruition."The young man opened his eyes and nodded at her. He loved flattery. "Yep. I didn't expect Dave to make a million dollars commission. He was a poor guy who barely got any real estate deals for the company. It was shocking how he landed the Prince County Villa deal with Ribald Corp! Before releasing the news, I asked Bob Ogden to fudge the records and deprive Dave of the commissions. The files show Bob was the agent. I kept most of the money, though. Pretty smart, right?" He chuckled in self

Who was this stranger? How did he butcher all his experienced soldiers? Was he a gang leader? Even Joe Savage wasn't capable of such carnage."Are you mute?" Kyle taunted. "In that case, let's settle this with a fight!"Kyle slid his machete out of its sheath. The dark blade glistened in the light eerily. The young man licked his lips and rushed at Victor. However, all his instincts told him to stay away. Or something terrible would happen. He felt as if he was moments away from death!"Nooo!" A distressed voice from the doorway stopped him in his tracks. The voice was familiar to Kyle."Bro!" he exclaimed. Edward Shannon, the Chairman of Shannon Inc., walked in with a huff. It appeared he had run up the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator. "Kyle…""Bro! Don't come in between! This guy killed my gang members and trashed my place! I must kill him here!"A thick vein throbbed on Edward's forehead. "You fucking idiot! Do you want to die so much? Have I trained you all these years

Julia furrowed her brows. A nude scene? She definitely didn't want to do that. But some of her model friends had done local ads. They said naked scenes were shot professionally with only essential staff present. Besides, ads were for the general audience. Therefore, they were censored, even though the model posed nude. They'll likely show her back, waist, and thighs in close-ups. Julia pursed her lips. "As long as there is no explicit exposure and we have censorship, I am prepared for it."Gerald grinned from ear to ear. It was as if Christmas had arrived early for him. Two of his teeth were gold crowns, while others were dark from smoking. "Great," he said, looking pleased. "I will give you a million dollars for the ad."Julia couldn't believe her ears. "Wow! Really?!" With a million dollars, she could pay for her parents' health insurance and set them up in a new home with much to spare."Are you a virgin, honey?" Gerald asked out of the blue. The beauty turned to him suddenly and
