A Film Queen

Chapter 410

Oliver tousled his hair and started, “My initial meeting with the new sect leader happened at the gateway of Crestwood High. I messaged you right then, and upon learning the update, you came back to Halturia.”

Leon nodded, remembering the incident clearly.

It was the first time he had learned that the new sect leader had already been chosen and was in Halturia. Coincidentally, he had to return home to see Milly, so he promptly headed back.

They knew about the new sect leader’s presence then but didn’t know who it was yet.

Oliver continued, “After that, I encountered the new sect leader on the filming set…”

Upon hearing this, Leon and King exchanged a startled look. On the filming set?

Did this mean that the new sect leader was also connected to the entertainment industry?

Having been in that industry and having worked with Oliver…

Remembering the project Oliver collaborated on would make it easy to identify the person.

However, Oliver appeared to sense their thoughts and suddenly stopped his story, declining to reveal any more information. He said, “I regret that I can’t share further details.”

He felt he had already revealed sufficient information.

Growing frustrated, King stood up suddenly and said, “You talk about our friendship, yet you always protect outsiders. Now we can’t even ask a question? Remember when you were in the Ghost Sect, it was Leon and I who stood by you during tough times.
