After coming to an agreement with the old man, Nangong Quan started to break out in a sweat. Seeing this, Su Youran immediately sensed something wasn’t right, so she quickly asked, “Do you want to return to the hospital now?”
“OK,” Nangong Quan nodded. Afterwards, he looked at Elder Nangong again and said, “Since we’ve come to an agreement, are you going to withdraw your men from the hospital?”
The old man shrugged. He naturally had no reason to disagree.
Elder Nangong never imagined that Nangong Quan would agree to his craziness and not interfere with him anymore.
From the looks of it, he still had a lot of faith in the Roborts Family’s capabilities.
“Quan, are you really planning to keep this from the Roborts Family? You’re not telling them about such a huge matter? They just…”
Nangong Quan held onto Su Youran’s hand, gesturing that she didn’t need to continue, “Both Emma and Eric are well experienced. In the past, when they had issues, they never received prior warning either. So, don’t worry, even if the old man does this and even if he chooses a crueler method, he will not be able to supp**ss Emma and Eric.”
“Do you have that much faith in them?”
“Yes,” Nangong Quan said firmly. “Just wait and see…”
“Even if I don’t give Grandfather this chance and even if I continue to argue with him, he will still go ahead with his plan. In fact, he may hurt even more people. So, rather than letting that happen, it’s better for me to let him do what he wants to do. I believe Eric and Emma will serve him his retribution!”
Although Su Youran felt a little guilty towards the Roberts Couple, Nangong Quan was right.
No matter how people tried to get in his way, the stubborn old man was determined to use all his strength to hurt the Roborts Family. So, instead of stopping him, it was better to lay their cards on the table and prevent him from playing other tricks.
Afterwards, Nangong Quan returned to the hospital to continue with his treatment. After all, the old man still needed to wait a few months. So, in the meantime, it made sense for Nangong Quan to recuperate and secretly investigate the killer that attacked him.
At the time of the incident, the man had indeed attacked Nangong Quan from behind. But, the reflection of the man appeared on his laptop screen. Although Nangong Quan couldn’t describe the man’s face, he knew he’d be able to point him out if he saw him again.
That night, when Little Eggshell finished school and saw that Nangong Quan was awake, she was overjoyed, “Daddy, you’re finally awake. I almost thought you didn’t want me anymore.”
“How could Daddy bear to abandon you and Mommy?” Nangong Quan stretched out his arms and hugged his wife and daughter. “For the two of you, I would come back to life even if I died.”
“Won’t you be a zombie then…?” Little Eggshell asked innocently.
Little Eggshell’s response made Su Youran laugh. After so many days of gloom, the rain had cleared and the sun was finally shining again…
…
As promised, Nangong Quan did not reveal Elder Nangong’s plans to Eric. So, the old man now had a great opportunity to seek revenge. But, it was also an opportunity for him to realize that the Roborts Family weren’t easy to deal with.
As long as the old man didn’t hurt another person!
Meanwhile, over at Kaleidoscope, Eric had already asked Luke to check how Nangong Quan ended up dealing with things, but Luke returned with nothing, “Nangong Quan returned to his office on the day that he woke up and held a board meeting. But, the strange thing was, he didn’t do anything to Elder Nangong. Instead, he let him continue being the temporary CEO.”
“Nangong Quan already fell into his Grandfather’s trap once, so it’s natural to know that opposing him won’t lead to any good! Hence, it’s no surprise that he’s learnt to behave.”
“Yes, President,” Luke nodded in agreement.
“I never hoped for Nangong Quan to control his grandfather anyway. After all, a person with a bottom line can’t possibly win against a cruel and heartless person.”
“Then, following on…”
“Continue to keep an eye on the old man. If he doesn’t do anything big, then we will just ignore him,” Eric instructed. Just as Emma previously said, did they all have to stop living their lives because of the appearance of this one old man?
They would keep their eyes on him, but they were also going to let the jerk know that he wasn’t as important to Kaleidoscope as he thought he was.
Meanwhile, on the set of ‘The Ant Queen 2’, Eric’s scenes were finally being filmed all at once. But, the closer they got towards the end of the film, the more tired he became because there were a lot of action scenes.
Just like Emma, he had always done his own scenes because he wanted his character to be well developed. So, he never used a stunt double.
By this stage, no matter what tricks Elder Nangong had, it was impossible to slow down the progress of ‘The Ant Queen 2’. As Kaleidoscope’s main project for the following year, Eric and Emma both invested all their energy into this film.
Of course, Elder Nangong did not mention every single detail of his plan at the board meeting. For example, he never mentioned a single word about his intention to use the Roberts Twins. After all, it wasn’t something that could be revealed in the open.
But, he was still planning to do it. Otherwise, what was the point of merely causing Kaleidoscope a loss? His biggest target were the twins.
The Roborts Family had put him through so many years of despair in prison.
How could he settle on making them lose a bit of money? He was going to make them pay back everything they owed.
The twins were the Roborts Family’s biggest hope. Only when he destroyed this hope, would he truly feel like he got revenge!
They couldn’t blame him for being ruthless. If he hadn’t held onto his hunger for revenge, he would not have survived the last 20 years in prison…
So, he was determined to make the Roborts Family pay him back ten-fold!
On the day that ‘The Ant Queen 2’s’ filming finally wr*pped up, not only did the cast and crew celebrate, there was also one man that was particularly happy – Elder Nangong.
For him, this meant he was one step closer to executing his plan.
But, originally, ‘Parasite’ should have already started screening by now if the old man didn’t keep delaying its release, so the marketing they did early on was completely put to waste. By delaying the film, Springfall did not grab onto the hype and other film agencies quickly grabbed onto the opportunity instead.
The popularity of ‘The Ant Queen’ brought the potential of sci-fi to everyone’s attention, and everyone wanted to grab a slice of this cake. As a result, sci-fi was expected to undergo a boom in the following 2-3 years.
The staff at Springfall were really unhappy with Elder Nangong. After all, they had put in so much effort to produce the film and even snatched Emma’s post production team, but now, everything had gone to waste.
Every few days, the agency’s staff would gather to complain and vent.
During this time, Bai Junye heard the most complaints.
As the director of ‘Parasite’, he wasn’t as angry as some other people, but he definitely felt it was a shame that the film ended up this way. Whether it was production or post production, ‘Parasite’ had the most potential to go up against ‘The Ant Queen’, but Elder Nangong had now turned it into a tool for revenge.
Bai Junye went from being an arthouse director to a sci-fi director, hoping to someday hold his head high, but he still didn’t see any hope in sight.
Did he have to go back to his days of slitting his wrists to be finally set free?
Thinking about his past, Bai Junye realized how ridiculous he had been. For some reason, he now felt that it was more meaningful to continue living. At least, he had now paid off all his debts by agreeing to direct this film and he was officially debt-free.
So, he packed his things and went to look for a particular person…
…
Emma was surprised when she saw Bai Junye return to her territory. Previously, she had tried so hard to hire him, but he refused to help. As a result, she ended up working with Qiao Man.
“What? Am I not welcome here?”
“I’m just a little surprised.” Emma welcomed him, of course. “I thought you looked down on my team.”
“No one in New York would dare to look down on your team,” Bai Junye laughed. “I don’t need to be paid a lot. I just need enough to eat and stay warm and I’ll be satisfied.”
“If you’re not here for fame and fortune, then why are you here?” Emma felt this guy was extremely strange.
But, to her surprise, Bai Junye shrugged his shoulders and replied, “Who knows? Perhaps it’s because your team feels warm and gives people a reason to continue living.”
Emma didn’t understand how much Bai Junye needed the strength to continue living, but she still agreed to let him stay. She even arranged for him to assist Qiao Man.
Bai Junye did not put up a front just because he was a senior in the field, and Qiao Man did not dislike Bai Junye just because he came from the enemy camp.
There were no restrictions to art; Qiao Man understood this well.
Besides, she was well aware that Bai Junye was an extremely talented person!
…
After filming for ‘The Ant Queen 2’ was completed, post-production also commenced at a quick speed. As a team of non-specialist experts, the rascals in Starshine were obsessed with this new challenge, just as Emma predicted. In fact, they were obsessed to an unimaginable level.
Soon, ‘The Ant Queen 2’ released its first trailer.
Without hesitation, Kaleidoscope directly contacted all the biggest theaters in the country and got them to screen their 30-second trailer.
Before film fans got to see ‘Parasite’, they were already treated to ‘The Ant Queen 2’s’ trailer.
This time, as the villain, Eric revealed an extremely sinister image on screen, but it successfully stirred up a lot of emotions.
The giant ant in the film was already thrilling enough, but now, they also had Eric’s powerful presence.
As a result, there were now three very interesting plot lines: Good vs Evil, Evil vs Monster, Monster vs Good. Combined together, this made an extremely compelling film. A simple 30-second trailer was enough to make film fans cheer and scream in excitement. Their hearts almost couldn’t take the anticipation.
