Chapter 266: Chapter 266: Making Enemies Work
Upon seeing the appearance of the little chicken, Ollie once thought Lord Muck was displeased with him again and was planning to ruin his computer, so he hurriedly begged for mercy.
"Lord Muck, please spare me. I haven’t helped anyone do bad things recently. Please be generous and let me off the hook."
To demonstrate his sincerity, Ollie even banged his head on the desk a few times.
Perhaps moved by his "sincerity," this time Lord Muck didn’t have the little chicken poop on the screen but instead had it leave a few words.
[Remove the muck, and I’ll let you go for now.]
Not a single beautiful young girl would want to associate herself with the unpleasant words "muck."
Ollie’s understanding of Chinese was quite decent, so he immediately corrected himself: "Lord, I was wrong."
Upon hearing Ollie’s correction, the little chicken left more words on the screen.
[Help me send this video to Holly Houston, and have her transfer $90 million to you by midnight. Once it’s done, return the full amount to me.]
Ollie: "..."
Isn’t it usual to split fifty-fifty or something like that in such situations?
Ollie suspected the lord might be a bit stingy, and he had evidence.
But Ollie didn’t dare utter a single word.
Not only was he worried that his computer would be destroyed again for mocking the lord, he was also concerned about leaving a bad impression on the lord and losing the qualification as the chief disciple.
Too afraid to complain, Ollie still voiced his curiosity.
"Lord, why don’t you send the video yourself to the person you need?"
Logically, the lord could hack a hacker’s computer so effortlessly, dealing with an ordinary person should be a piece of cake.
Yet, the lord chose a roundabout way, which Ollie found hard to understand.
Of course, Ollie speculated countless possibilities before the lord responded.
The only thing he didn’t expect was the lord’s reason...
[Having a former enemy help me achieve something... feels so satisfying!]
Ollie: "..."
He was speechless.
But in the end, he humbly and weakly accepted the task.

Meanwhile, in the presidential suite provided by the show crew, Holly Houston was on the phone.
The call came from an investor who saw the trend of the show creating buzz even before broadcasting and added one billion to the investment.
Holly Houston smiled, explaining to him that the money invested now couldn’t be divided in the same proportion as before.
The investor was somewhat dissatisfied.
Holly Houston immediately said, "Well, sorry, it seems this deal can’t go through."
That’s right, with the recent hype surrounding July Quinn being criticized to the extreme, Holly Houston no longer regards the billion investment as significant.
If any investor disagrees with her opinion, she immediately uses the threat of ending the partnership.
Almost every time, she manages to end victoriously.
This time was no exception.
With Holly Houston’s threat, the investor softened his stance.
Only then did Holly Houston respond coolly, "Alright, I’ll have someone prepare the contract shortly."
After ending the call, Holly Houston fell into a man’s embrace.
The man was quite passionate, pressing her against the wall as soon as he approached, advancing boldly.
Holly Houston was equally open, responding fervently...
After a passionate exchange, Holly Houston snuggled in the man’s arms.
The man gently stroked Holly Houston’s cheek, asking her, "You threaten those investors like that, what if they all really pull out their investments, what will happen to the show?"
"The show hasn’t even aired and it’s already gaining such buzz, how could they pull out? They’re not fools."
"But surely it affects future prospects negatively. If the shows you produce later don’t achieve similar results, they might resent your current attitude, and when trouble comes, everybody might exploit your misfortune."
"I just need this show to present a perfect report to my grandpa so I can secure a stable position within Westmarch Television management. I don’t have to stay in this line of work forever."
Seeing that the man was about to continue persuading, Holly Houston simply turned over and straddled the man.
"Brother Nathan, I’m not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
Indeed, the man tangled with Holly Houston was Nathan Jacobs.
Even though Holly Houston currently had a boyfriend and they were discussing marriage.
Even though Nathan Jacobs was now infamous, renowned as "Scoundrel."
They were still secretly together behind everyone’s backs.
