Chapter 345: Grabbing onto the Golden Opportunity

Bellamy’s initial anger fizzled as he listened to the blond thug’s explanation. Honestly, if it were him, he’d do the exact same thing.

“Who exactly is this crew? And who’s that woman? What gang does she belong to?” he muttered, his voice low. No way this crew was squeaky clean. He’d bet his life on it! After all, some of the people here even had gunshot scars!

The blond thug shook his head. “I don’t know, but I heard those boys call her ‘Boss’ a couple of times.”

Bellamy’s eyes lit up with realization. “I knew it! This must be a front for some powerful underground gang! A money-laundering operation disguised as a film crew!! Good thing I kept my cool, or they would’ve wiped us all out!”

“You’re a genius, Boss!” The blond thug chimed in, quick to flatter him.

“Listen up, kid. Make sure all the guys stay in line while we’re with this crew,” the bald thug instructed. “No picking fights with anyone here. If even a young girl has skills like that, who knows how many big shots are hiding in this crew? For all we know, there could be assassins among them. Be careful,” Bellamy said.

The blond thug nodded fervently. “Boss, does that mean we’re just going to stick around here?”

Bellamy smacked him upside the head. “Are you stupid? Can’t you see this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?”

The blond thug looked confused.

“The people backing this crew are clearly no ordinary force. It’s always better to stick close to a big tree for shade!” Bellamy whispered. “If we take this time to serve the crew well, make a good impression, and latch onto this golden opportunity, the Red Jackals will never have to worry about better opportunities in the future!”

Bellamy was quite scared at first, which showed that Olivia really had no intention of killing them. He immediately felt as if he saw a big, thick, golden leg, waiting for the Red Jackals to embrace it!

“Boss, you’re brilliant! Truly brilliant! I’ll go tell the guys to step it up and make sure we leave the best impression possible!” The blond thug exclaimed, full of admiration.

Bellamy grinned, pleased with the praise, and sent the blond thug off to relay his orders.

It wasn’t long before the Legacy of the Dynasty crew noticed something peculiar. Those who had previously extorted them for “management fees” were now all gathered at the filming site. And there were hundreds of them! The staff was shocked at the first sight. Director Zayn subconsciously hugged the script.

“Hey, buddy! Let me carry that prop for you!”

“Drink some water! Drink some water!”

“Hand me the broom, I’ll sweep up. You go take a break.”

“Hot out here, isn’t it? Let me fan you!”

The staff blinked in confusion. “What?”

Zayn saw Olivia and hurried over. “Olivia, who are these people?”

Before she could answer, Bellamy appeared at her side, a bright smile on his face as he handed her a cup of iced milk tea. “Here you go, Olivia! I just had someone pick this up. It’s cold and refreshing, perfect for a hot day.”

His sycophantic demeanor was so over the top, it felt like he might start wagging an invisible tail. Zayn stared, speechless.

Olivia took the milk tea, calmly sipping it. “They’re here to help.”

Help? Red Jackals? You’ve got to be kidding me!! What the hell happened out there? This is nothing like what I imagined.

Bellamy chimed in eagerly. “Right, right! We’re here to help, Mr. Zayn, is it? Just say the word. My guys might not be great at acting, but we’ve got plenty of muscle. Any heavy lifting or dirty work, leave it to us!
