True Tycoon Her Empire, Her Rules

Chapter 197

Yesterday’s late night grind had the whole crew working until the wee hours, so today’s show didn’t hit the

yee until two hours behind schedule.

Winnie, a creature of habit, was up with the roosters, despite the delay.

As the crew and the day’s guests scrambled to prep for the broadcast, the local chief, along with a group of villagers made their way over.

Gentry, though shaken too, insisted on joining the mountain foray.

Somehow, he’d managed to keep them docile, and they trooped along, leading the way without a hint of rebellion.

Viewers had camped out in the live stream chat, eager for a glimpse of the so–called werewolves.

The chat exploded with excitement.

“Finally, the legendary werewolves? Can’t wait..”

“Be careful up there, guys. Don’t get hurt.”

“Hope no danger comes their way.”

“Hopefully, these wolves are as chill as the ones up front.”
