Shadow Empire

Chapter 225: Tyrant on the Set [Monthly Ticket 666+2]
what do you want?
There are a lot of money, power, status and desires, but Lance knows that there is not much meaning in talking about these.

Because whether it is money, power, social status, or other things, he can get them by himself.

What people wish for to the wishing genie is always something they cannot get through their own efforts, not something that is readily available to them.

He thought for a moment and said with a serious expression, "I want world peace."

Mr. Pasreto was stunned for a moment, about two or three seconds, and then he burst into laughter!

He took Lance's arm and looked at Alberto, "This is really funny!" Alberto also laughed for a while.

When the laughter died down, he resumed, "Maybe this is a stupid question. You are stronger than we thought."

"Thank you for your evaluation, Mr. Pasletto..."

"You can call me Paul." Mr. Pasletto was not stingy with these things. "Is this what you want?"

He looked at Lance with an expression of anticipation for how things would develop, and Lance nodded, "That's right, Paul."

He knew that he had the friendship of the Pasletto family, as evidenced by the fact that he could call him "Paul".

Whether it is the Pasreto family or several other families, their internal hierarchies are very strict, even if it seems that there is no difference in hierarchy among them.

But in fact, they have their own detailed level divisions that no one can easily cross.

This is also the core rule of the gang.

"So what are you going to do next?" Paul turned the barbecue over and reminded, "If you don't turn the barbecue over, it will get burnt, and it won't taste good."

While flipping the barbecue, Lance said, "The attention of Congress and the public cannot be focused here all the time. We can remain restrained for now. When their attention is drawn to other places, it will be time for us to settle accounts."

"I like the word liquidation!" Paul agreed with Lance's idea, "but we shouldn't do nothing."

"I don't believe that everyone in this hazardous materials administration is 'Mr. Justice'. There must be some who are not so just. Find them and win them over."

"I've thought a lot about whether there is anything I have that you don't have but you really need. After thinking about it, it seems that only arms are what you need."

"So if you want anything, you can call Alberto and he will bring you everything you want."

"But don't play too hard, or you might hurt yourself!"

Alberto nodded, "I'll keep that in mind."

The barbecue was quickly cooked, and Lance met Paul's family here, his three sons, a daughter, and a little granddaughter.

In addition to his family, there are also some family members.

The families in Sumuli often have some blood ties to a greater or lesser extent, and are organizations with both family and religious natures.

The relationship between them is not just one of superiors and subordinates, but also one of kinship.

Of course, there are also many peripheral members who may not be related to them by blood.

But those who are here today are all Paul's family.

On the way back from Sumuli District, Lance was thinking about some things behind today's seemingly ordinary dinner.

For example, the five major families sent him a signal through Paul, telling him that everyone supported him and asked him to fight these bastards from other places.

But he wouldn't be stupid enough to actually do that and work for these people in a fit of rage.

They couldn't afford the price to make him work for them.

But it is good news after all. At least the locals are beginning to accept him.

We drank some wine in the evening and didn't talk all night.

The next morning, Lance, Hiram and a few others drove two cars and went to Valley City with Gerald. They wanted to avenge Gerald.

By the way, Lance is also a little interested in the current film shooting.

Lance firmly believes that the film industry will be a big hit. Maybe the profits it brings will not be as good as selling alcohol, but in legal investments, the rate of return is absolutely amazing!
He also began to plan for cinemas in Jingang City, and soon it would not just be Jingang City, but the entire state, and even the eastern part of the federation!
At that time, whether he is making movies or broadcasting movies, he will continue to make legal profits.

More legal profits will allow him to launder more dirty money.

It was almost eleven o'clock when the group arrived at Xigu City. It was obviously not as prosperous as Jingang City, but it was much better than other places.

Many local young people work in Jingang City and only come back on weekends, which makes the city seem to lack some vitality.

People walking on the street are either underage children or people in their thirties or even forties.

It is worth mentioning that the scenery here is nice, with the beauty of being surrounded by mountains and rivers, with the city on one side and nature on the other, and the climate is very pleasant.

Many middle-class people think that it is a good choice to retire in Valley City. It is very close to Jingang City, but the prices are much lower, and the cost of living is lower. Gerald and his crew are filming in the suburbs, and recently a lot of content needs to be filmed in an open-air environment.

When the group arrived, the crew had not yet taken a break.

After seeing Gerard, the director nodded and motioned for him to stand for a while. As the shooting of a shot was completed, the director and screenwriter felt that there was no problem, and this shot was considered over.

"You can bring your friends to watch our filming, but don't let them make trouble!" The director didn't know who Lance and the others were, but subconsciously thought that they might be Gerard's friends.

Because those people were as young as him and looked like they could only be friends, and the cars they drove were not particularly good, just average.

Gerard did not refuse.

Because of his return, we had to reshoot some content related to Gerald in the afternoon. It can be seen that he is very popular among the actresses, but the male actors are obviously isolating him.

The Federals' bullying is always expressed directly, which may be one of their very few advantages, at least they are not so hypocritical.

As the filming progressed, the location also returned from the suburbs to the city. This scene had Gerard and the heroine chatting in a roadside cafe.

Then they were discovered by the male protagonist, who was very angry and splashed the coffee on the table on Gerard's face.

The whole plot is very simple, but we have shot four takes and still haven’t passed.

The hero always gets something wrong after spilling coffee.

Either he said the wrong lines or he failed to express the emotions he should have, which led to constant retakes.

Although for movies of this period, they may not need such superb performances, but... you can't just smile with gloating when you are angry, right?

"Sorry, sorry, Gerald, I'm not in the right mood, let's do it again!" The upturned corners of the male protagonist's mouth did not show his apologetic thoughts at all, but instead made people feel that he deserved a beating.

The heroine took a towel and helped Gerald wipe the coffee off his body. At the same time, she looked at the hero with a reproachful look, "Are you looking for trouble with him?"

The male protagonist quickly denied this statement, "How is it possible?"

"I just can't find the feeling..."

Gerard frowned and forced a smile. If the other party had made a mistake at the beginning, he would not have reacted, but now it was definitely intentional.

The director was also a little troubled. He protested to the producer, saying that this would obviously cause disunity in the crew.

But the producer's half-smile was telling the director that this matter was not that simple.

In the end, the director had no choice but to return to work and let them start preparing again.

"…Game 5, begin!"

Although Gerard is not a professional opera or drama actor, he learns quickly and is able to switch emotions quickly.

Even though he was unhappy at the moment, he soon put on a sunny smile and chatted happily with the heroine with an expression and look that was slightly admiring.

Even this guy Hiram could feel that the character played by Jellal should like the heroine very much.

"There's something so rotten in his expression, damn it!" This is Hiram's evaluation of Jellal.

At this time, the male protagonist walked over from a distance with a sneer on his face. He walked to the table, reached out to grab the coffee cup, and was about to continue pouring it at Gerard when suddenly a hand held his hand.

He turned around somewhat at a loss and saw the friends brought by Gerard. Just as he was about to say something, Lance punched him in the stomach!
The male protagonist, who had never suffered such pain before, squatted on the ground holding his stomach. He couldn't even cry out in pain!

Jellal was also stunned by this scene. He thought Lance would help him solve this problem after the filming was over, not now.

He stood there not knowing what to do, but when he saw Lance using the football to kick the bastard, he felt inexplicably happy!
The producer was shocked when he saw this. He quickly ran to Lance and was about to pull him when a gun was put to his head.

There was no threat, but it was worth a thousand words at this moment. Hiram's other hand was picking his nose, and he did not forget to shake his hair, otherwise the booger might stick to his hair.

Although the producer thought... this guy was stupid, he really didn't dare to do anything and could only slowly raise his hands.

Lance glanced at him sideways, took a step back, stepped forward with his left foot, pulled back his right foot and swung it hard, kicking the male protagonist in the face!

In an instant, the male protagonist was kicked and rolled out!
The blood soon dyed the ground red. Lance took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood splashed on the tip of his leather shoes, then threw the handkerchief on the ground.

He glanced at the male protagonist who had completely lost the ability to resist, and looked at Jellal, "Who else?"

Jellal felt like laughing for some reason, and suddenly he let go of the heroine's hand that was tightly holding him, walked over to Lance, pointed at the several male supporting actors who were already at a loss and said, "And them."

Lance hooked his finger at them and said something that made their scalps tingle.

"come over!"
