Chapter 960: It Will End Soon
Chapter 960: It Will End Soon
"Oh, it's bad," June chuckled as he took a sip from his wine glass.
He was currently in Haruto's restaurant with Lena, Jay, and Haruto himself, discussing their next plans for Azure Entertainment.
"What is?" Jay asked, his cheeks filled with meat.
June showed them his phone, where a brief footage of Lei scolding Yena was seen.
Their eyebrows raised in surprise. "Where did you even get that?" Haruto asked as he tossed their salad.
June shrugged. "Ann," he answered. That intern was still as brave as anyone else.
"Are we going to use this as evidence for him?" Haruto asked.
June shook his head. "Nah," he said. "This is too light. It's also pretty unclear. Based on Ann's report, though, it seems like he's not giving up despite the big companies backing out of the project."
"Which is amazing, by the way," Jay smiled. "How did you even do it?"
Lena shrugged and nodded toward Haruto. "I didn't do anything," she said. "This guy told me to trust him."
June smirked. "You're improving. You're trusting people now," he teased Lena.
Lena's cheeks warmed up as she took a bite from her pasta dish. "Well, I have no choice, do I? You've exposed my identity to these two. Moreover, you guys haven't done anything to break my trust, so I'm going to keep working with you."
Jay stood and saluted at Lena. "You can always trust us, Lena!" he exclaimed. "But seriously," he sat back down. "How did you manage to make them all back out?"
"It was easy," Haruto said. "They value their reputation more than this collaboration with Azure. Aside from that, we had tangible proof, so they knew we're being serious."
"Going through with the collaboration would just be a loss for them, so they all backed out."
Lena nodded. "I would have done the same thing."
June smiled. "Aren't you glad we're on the same team, then?"
Lena rolled her eyes. "My company already took a hit," she defended. "I've already removed those rotten employees. I'm sure there are plenty more out there, but we can't police everyone."
"Hmm," June hummed.
"So, what are we going to do now?" Jay asked. "I think Completing EVE would be postponed for a bit, but if Lei insists for it to go on, then he would. Moreover, it would be harder to dissolve the whole of Azure with that. It's also multifaceted like Phoenix."
Lena nodded in agreement. "We can't take down an empire like that."
"We're not, don't worry," June said, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "I know my limitations. That's why we're just going to dissolve Azure Entertainment."
Jay narrowed his eyes at June. "I have a hunch that you're doing this just to get LUNAIRE out of that company."
June shrugged. He was partially right. Mei had been texting him these days, telling him off for being selfish and leaving the company without prior notice. Of course, June wasn't just going to leave his sister all alone.
However, aside from that, he still felt like he hadn't taken his revenge for everything Lei had done to him.
He wasn't going to kill him, of course.
June didn't want to entertain the possibility of Lei transmigrating like him. So, he wanted to torture him slowly-by taking away his dream right before his eyes.
Besides, those kinds of people didn't deserve to die.
They deserved to live through the consequences of their actions!
"That is still a hard thing to do," Haruto pointed out. "Azure Entertainment may be new to the scene, but they're still a formidable company. Yes, their stocks had been falling, and Lena could easily buy them now, but I believe their CEO isn't willing to do that as long as Lei is in power."
"You're right," June said. "Which is why we're going to take away that power."
"How?" the three of them said in unison.
June thought about it, too. He had a hard time thinking of a way since he never had any proof that Lei was the one who ran White Tiger back in the day.
However, it suddenly hit him.
The people he met along the way weren't just there for show.
Angela Zhang.
There was a reason why the two of them met again-and it was all thanks to Lei!
That girl had also gone through hell before she rose to stardom, and if there was one thing she hated-it would be the likes of Lei.
Lei, who frequented the prostitute house she was forced to be in.
Lei, who owned that very bar.
June shook his head in amusement. It was just becoming better and better!
Haruto and Jay turned to each other with confused looks as June chuckled to himself,
appearing like a handsome villain. Meanwhile, Lena felt her body heat up.
Was it from the wine or from how hot June looked? Probably both.
"June," Haruto said, snapping him out of his daze.
"Hmm?" June hummed, acting like none of that just happened. The three became even more confused.
"Are you going to share your plan?" he asked.
June nodded. "I just need to contact another person first. However, be on your toes. Lei's downfall is coming soon."
Lena raised her hand amidst their conversation. "Can I break up with him now? I don't think there's anything else I can extract from that guy. He also keeps asking me to go to a hotel with
him."
"Oh no!" Jay exclaimed. "Yes, you should definitely break up with him as soon as possible."
"No," June said, causing them to become surprised.
"What?" Lena asked. "What else could I do?"
"There's still one thing you need to do," June said. "If I know Lei, then he would be the type of person to escape when he realizes that the situation isn't in favor of him anymore. So, just hang tight. His downfall is going to come soon."
"It should be soon enough," Lena muttered. "It feels like it's already been 900 chapters at
this point!"
June smiled. "Don't worry," he said. "It will end soon."
