Chapter 220: Alexander in Disguise

“Who can find a way to get Olivia’s magic tools out of her hands?” Tobie swallowed a fast-acting heart pill. The staff were utterly clueless; no one could have anticipated this.

“Well… Olivia probably plans to sell those magic tools to the other guests, right? How about we just have the others buy them?” the assistant suggested cautiously.

Tobie almost spat blood. “Are you planning to just declare Olivia the winner outright?” If they let the guests buy Olivia’s gold, the magic tool store they had set up would be rendered pointless. Even if all the gold from the other two teams were pooled together, it likely wouldn’t be enough to buy up all the magic tools Olivia had.

“Everyone, figure something out! If this continues tomorrow, you’ll all dress up as the staff and let Olivia have her way!” This show would be unwatchable at this rate! The staff was in despair.

As Tobie pondered his options, the assistant suddenly rushed over. “Mr. Tobie, Mr. Vance from Zenith Entertainment is here.”

Tobie froze. Zenith Entertainment was one of the top three giants in the industry, and he couldn’t understand what could possibly make them send such a high-profile figure. Before long, Tobie met Vance.

“Mr. Vance, what brings you here?” Tobie asked courteously.

Vance smiled, but inside, he was deeply frustrated. He hadn’t wanted to come, but he couldn’t afford not to.

“I watched today’s livestream and noticed something off with Louis,” Vance said, presenting the excuse he had prepared in advance. Since arriving in the ancient town, Louis hadn’t even dared to leave his room. He hadn’t come to film a variety show; he was just here for the appearance fee!

“Since we’re collaborating with you on “With You, Under The Sky,” our company values this partnership. Louis’s behavior is a detriment to your interests,” Vance explained smoothly.

Having just endured Olivia’s “torment,” Tobie felt a wave of relief wash over him. He hadn’t expected Zenith Entertainment’s big boss to be so considerate, coming all the way here just for this.

“Mr. Vance, you’re too kind,” Tobie said gratefully.

Tobie hesitated for a moment. “Replace him? But… this show is team-based. If Louis drops out now, we’ll be one person short.” Even though Louis’s presence had barely made a difference to Olivia’s “slaughter.”

Vance smiled reassuringly. “Mr. Tobie, don’t worry. I’ve brought a new artist to replace Louis today.”

Tobie, recognizing that Vance’s word was law, no longer had any objections. No one wanted to upset such an influential figure.

“Who is the artist?” he asked.

Vance gestured toward the entrance. “This is our new artist, Eugene Strauss.” Tobie followed Vance’s gaze.

Standing in the doorway was a tall, handsome young man with an aura that immediately set him apart from others in the industry. Though Eugene’s looks were striking, what truly set him apart was the extraordinary presence he exuded, something Tobie had never seen before in the entertainment world. After just one glance, Tobie was certain that Eugene would become a star.

“Mr. Vance, you have an eye for talent. This person will undoubtedly rise to fame, and I’m sure he’ll bring in significant revenue for you in the future.” It was clear now why Vance was so eager to recommend him.

Vance remained silent as he thought, Revenue? Ha! I wouldn’t dream of taking that!
