At the Zelly Residence, home to one of the four major households of Atheville.

Helen dolled herself up and called up a few close friends. She would be going to Pegasus Club to fool around with a few men.

That was a day worth celebrating in her eyes.

The moment she finished putting on her makeup, her front door was kicked open.

A platoon of fully-equipped military personnel rushed in and surrounded her.

Quivering with fear, Helen demanded, “W-Who are you? What business do you have with the Zellys?”

The adjutant inquired coldly, “Are you Helen Zelly?”

Helen nodded, “Y-Yes.”

The adjutant announced, “We suspect you collaborated with bandits to cause harm to an innocent civilian. Please follow us.”

What? Helen felt as though she was petrified on the spot. That innocent civilian must be Zeke! Damn it! How did the military know about this? They even traced it all the way back to me! Mrs. Moore is useless!


Until this moment, she had no idea that they had gotten rid of the bandits and captured Mrs. Moore.

...

Meanwhile, Lacey was devoid of all spirit.

Aside from the shock of nearly being buried alive, her filming crew had quit because of the “overly high risk”.

The advertisement she had planned long and hard for would be wasted.

As Zeke was consoling her, Wolf’s Greed called.

Zeke picked up the call in a quiet corner.

Wolf’s Greed inquired, “What should I do with Mrs. Moore and Helen?”

Zeke commanded, “They can’t die. I need them to carry my buddy’s coffin for his reburial. Then again, I can’t just let them off. They scared Lacey’s filming crew away, so I want them to give all of their entertainment businesses to Lacey.”

Wolf’s Greed replied, “Consider it done. The Zelly family’s media company and the Moore family’s Penguin Entertainment are worth at least five billion. I’ll get them to sign the papers now.”

After he hung up, Zeke instructed, “Come on, Lacey, let’s make a trip to Trust Media.”

He wanted to give Lacey a surprise, so he did not say anything about taking over Trust Media.

Lacey sighed, “Alright.”

Zeke queried, “Aren’t you curious as to why I’m bringing you there?”

Lacey replied, “What’s there to be curious about? We rented one of Trust Media’s studios, so all of our filming equipment is there. Come to think of it, how did you know we rented a studio there?”

Zeke was speechless. This is the first I’ve heard of it. I’m giving you the entire Trust Media, idiot!
