Chapter 185 - 185: 181: Don’t Believe in This Evil – Part 2
The question is, can the Blackfield Group easily come up with 1,200 billion in liquid funds? Unlikely! Furthermore, Yuri Johnson has no other choices now. Finn Lewis is WY’s current boss after all. His decision cannot be opposed. Yuri can only pin his hopes on Lewis’s overpowering game.
“Mr. Johnson, while I wouldn’t say your status is top-notch domestically, being the owner of WY, a premier website, you should know the situation I’m currently in. And let me be frank with you, I won’t be alerting my grandfather about this matter. His health isn’t good and I don’t want any accidents occurring because he may worry about me. If it comes to it, I am prepared to leave the entertainment industry!” Kay Lee said earnestly, implying that if Yuri was hoping her grandfather would take care of her troubles like he usually does, she’d rather leave the entertainment industry than trouble the elderly.
“Miss Kay Lee, I didn’t make this decision for any other reasons, but purely from a corporate perspective. As for other matters, that’s WY’s business, so Miss Lee doesn’t need to worry. We’ll handle it all. Now, can Miss Lee sign this endorsement contract?” Yuri sighed internally. If her grandfather was in good health, things might be easier. Unfortunately, that’s not the case.
“Of course, I can.” Kay Lee gritted her teeth, then hesitated for a bit and asked, “But isn’t this endorsement fee… a bit high?”
Looking at the stubborn Kay Lee, Yuri couldn’t help but admire her. Very few people can maintain such an attitude in the entertainment industry. No wonder Finn Lewis is willing to help her willingly. If he were a decade or two younger, he’d definitely pursue her too.
“No, Miss Kay Lee, being in the entertainment industry, you should understand that some endorsement fees are not better the lower they are. At this moment, we need a selling point, a hype, you should understand this.” Yuri said decisively. After understanding Finn Lewis’s “brilliant idea”, Yuri knew how to proceed.
“I understand.” Upon hearing this, Kay Lee, who wasn’t dumb, took a moment to consider her current situation, and then the sensation that this news would cause once it started to circulate. She understood how big this hype is. As for whether she could withstand such a hype, they had their considerations. However, she did feel a sense of relief.
She promptly signed her name on the contract. After she finished, Yuri said with a smile, “Miss Kay Lee, before the press conference starts, your endorsement fee for two years – a total of two billion Flame Nation coins – will be credited to your account.”
“Isn’t it… supposed to be paid annually?” Kay Lee remembered the terms of the contract and asked in surprise.
“I think Miss Kay Lee needs this money now.” Yuri Johnson gave her a gentle bow, feeling like a gentleman at the moment. Unfortunately, the money didn’t come from him. Without Finn Lewis, he wouldn’t have been able to cough up such an amount.
“Thank you.” Kay Lee looked at Yuri appreciatively and expressed her gratitude sincerely.
“Please, that’s more than I can bear.” Yuri immediately stepped aside to stop Kay Lee from giving a formal bow. A verbal thank you would have been fine, but a formal bow would have been too much for him to handle. Plus, it would have felt awkward.
“Shall we proceed to the press conference platform then?” Enlightened from the talk, Yuri changed the subject.
“Sure.” Kay Lee nodded and followed him to the press conference hall.
This time, WY have pulled out all the stops by inviting many media outlets, including online media, traditional media, television media, and even foreign media.
When Yuri appeared at the press conference, the journalists, although spirited, only straightened their backs and waited eagerly for the conference to begin. They had no idea why they were here. They speculated it was probably related to a game but inviting so many foreign media has left some doubt. Could it have to do with a foreign game company?
However, when these journalists saw Kay Lee follow Yuri, they froze for a moment. Then, there was a sudden uproar as the atmosphere burst into excitement!
“It’s young masteran!” Charlotte Sommer immediately nodded and turned to leave. She didn’t have to worry about these robots’ identities as Zero had prepared relevant identification documents when it extracted them. Accompanying Charlotte Sommer were two T800s.
But T2500 differed from T800 in that apart from the bone structure which was made from special alloys, the rest of the muscles and even the organs were made from materials almost identical to human beings. In other words, you couldn’t tell the difference unless you carried out a thorough dissection. Conversely, T800 was a completely different story. Its skin is just like a human being’s but is unlike what was portrayed in the film where it tears easily. T800’s skin can withstand the strike of a 12.7-millimeter large-calibre sniper rifle and even possesses robust repair ability after getting hit and pierced. Simply put, it’s a war machine.
But the most exquisite processor is very cheap, which is why the points difference between T800 and T2500s is so substantial. After sorting out his mother’s matters, only Jay Sommer remained among the T2500s. After some thought, Finn Lewis said, “You, go to Celeston City now and set up a company. Prepare ten Photon I-type computers and get them operational. Ensure all procedures are legitimate and rent some ordinary servers for cover.”
“Yes, young master.” Jay Sommer also turned and left.
After the room emptied out, Finn Lewis opened the exchange list and looked at the T-800, contemplating. Each T-800 cost 5,000 points and Finn now only had 32,000 points left. However, he still had other uses for those points. Initially, he wanted to exchange for two more T-800s to be Kay Lee’s bodyguards, but on second thought, T-800 wouldn’t be fit for the job..
