It had been a while since Li Hong brought Carmillon back to the rental apartment.
“Li, I’m hungry…” Carmillon said, rubbing his stomach, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Li Hong, who was searching for a suitable location for the Soul Clan's descent on the map, furrowed his brow in frustration.
“Are you really not carrying any money?” Li Hong questioned, incredulous that this guy truly had no cash.
Carmillon nodded. “Li, I swear, I really didn’t bring any money.”
“…”
“What’s going on next door?” the Square-Faced Man asked a young man wearing headphones nearby.
The young man frowned and replied, “Mr. Carmillon is hungry, but the kidnappers won’t let him eat and are still demanding ransom.”
“What? That greedy Soulmate!” The Square-Faced Man was furious.
At that moment, a cacophony of noise came through the headphones. The young man listened intently for a moment before exclaiming in shock, “Captain, the kidnappers have made another demand!”
“What demand? Is it money?” The Square-Faced Man's expression changed as he inquired.
The young man shook his head in confusion. “It seems the kidnappers want to forcefully sell some film rights for Breaking Through the Sky to Mr. Carmillon.”
“What the hell! Now the kidnappers are getting clever! How much do they want?” The Square-Faced Man's face darkened; nine million had already been transferred, and now this kidnapper wanted more money.
“One hundred million!” the young man replied.
The Square-Faced Man spat lightly and muttered angrily, “This lousy Loser book dares to ask for such a high price? This kidnapper must be out of his mind. What about Mr. Carmillon?”
…
“Old Car, what do you think? If I buy this copyright with you, you won’t lose out or be tricked,” Li Hong continued to entice Carmillon.
Carmillon rubbed his rumbling stomach, feeling a mix of frustration and despair.
"Li, as friends, you shouldn't be doing this to me!"
Li Hong's expression turned serious as he frowned. "Old Car, your mindset is lacking! We are friends, and you should know the potential of Breaking Through the Sky. I'm not bragging; I could easily sell it for billions, but out of friendship, I'm selling it to you for just one hundred million."
Carmillon hung his head in defeat. "Alright, alright, I’ll buy it. But Li, it seems you've overlooked one issue!"
"What issue?" With Carmillon's confirmation, Li Hong felt quite pleased.
"The copyright for Breaking Through the Sky belongs to the publisher; you only have the right to share in the profits." Carmillon pouted, ignoring Li Hong's murderous glare.
"What the hell!" Li Hong exploded with rage. Wasn't this just cutting his earnings in half for no reason?
"And you'll have to pay taxes..." Carmillon added another blow.
"......"
"Let's go eat," Li Hong said, not wanting to continue this conversation with Carmillon.
Carmillon didn't mind; buying Breaking Through the Sky was hardly a challenge for him. Even though he knew that Li Hong was merely the agent of Supreme God and not the true Divine Abode, he still wanted to befriend someone like him.
Spending one hundred million, especially in rb, was just a trivial matter for Carmillon. However, he realized that if this deal went through, it would greatly benefit Li Hong.
"Team Leader, they're about to leave!" a young man hurriedly reminded the Square-Faced Man beside him.
"Hurry and get them ready; we can't let anything happen to Mr. Carmillon."
...
With nothing at home and given Carmillon's stature, Li Hong felt embarrassed to treat him to instant noodles. So, he decided to take Carmillon to a fast-food giant restaurant downstairs for a meal.
Well, Water County Eats!
Before leaving, Li Hong impulsively uploaded a chapter to Breaking Through the Sky.
"Brothers, our Breaking Through the Sky is going to be adapted into a film! Hahaha, isn't that exciting? And the director has already been chosen—it's the very familiar Carmillon! I can't chat now; I'm taking Mr. Carmillon out for dinner."
After posting, Li Hong didn’t care about the potential consequences and directly uploaded it online.
Then, Li Hong opened the door with Carmillon and planned to head downstairs for dinner.
Of course, both Carmillon and Li Hong were dressed like robbers. This was a requirement from Li Hong, as having a blonde foreigner like Carmillon around would attract too much attention. Not to mention, Carmillon was a celebrity; if someone snapped a photo and posted it online, Li Hong would be in big trouble. Kidnapping Carmillon?
"Click!"
As he opened the old iron door, Li Hong intended to call out to Carmillon. But when he looked up, he saw Carmillon with a blank expression, looking completely dazed.
"What the hell, aren't you hungry? Hurry up..."
Before he could finish his sentence, a hard object jabbed him in the back of the head.
Whose kid is this, being so mischievous? Look at how scared Carmillon is!
Turning around to educate the mischievous youth, Li Hong froze.
He lived on the second floor, and in the stairwell corridor stood several individuals clad in black bulletproof vests, holding riot shields tightly around his room.
At that moment, Li Hong also realized what was pressing against him.
What the hell!
This is a Type 95!
Before him, the dark muzzle of a gun gleamed ominously.
"Gulp!" Li Hong slowly raised his hands, feeling a chill run down his spine.
"Don't make any sudden moves; you're completely surrounded," a Square-Faced Man stepped forward from the group and coldly addressed Li Hong.
Then he turned to a Tailored Man beside him and said, "Go bring Mr. Carmillon over."
"Understood!"
The Tailored Man holstered his Type 95 and grabbed Carmillon, leading him through the crowd.
Carmillon appeared dazed and made no effort to resist as the Tailored Man took him away.
Seeing Carmillon in such a state, the Square-Faced Man frowned and said in a low voice, "Mr. Carmillon seems to be in shock. You should take someone to check on him."
Then, looking at Li Hong, who was trembling with his hands raised, the Square-Faced Man coldly stated, "Li Hong, age 1, unemployed. Father: Li Someone, Mother: Li Someone's Wife."
"I... I surrender!"
Faced with dozens of armed Tailored Men, Li Hong truly lacked the courage to resist.
One of the Tailored Men stepped forward and swiftly cuffed Li Hong's hands with golden handcuffs.
"Fall back!"
The Square-Faced Man was in high spirits; it was astonishing how easily this major case had been resolved. He was sure to earn some credit for this.
Li Hong was dazed as he was led onto a special vehicle and seated in a designated chair. Beside him were two bodyguards armed with Type 95 rifles.
Even now, Li Hong had no idea why he had been arrested.
"Spreading seeds?" "Indecent women?" "Blackmail?" "..." The more I thought about Li Hong, the more frightened and uneasy I became. It seemed that I had committed a lot of things! Will he be sentenced to prison without a wife? Two hours later, Imperial Capital News reported the news that Carmillon was rescued. "At ten o'clock in the morning, my brave Tailored Man subdued the vicious kidnapper and rescued the anxious director Carmillon. At this point, the case was declared solved. It is reported that the kidnapper was an Online Writer because The results of the new book Breaking Through the Sky have been dismal, and the idea of kidnapping and blackmail has arisen. Here, we remind residents to be aware of the suspicious writers around them, especially the writer of the new book Loser. "
