The Young Master in the Shadows-Chapter 371: CrimsonPearl

Horizon’s media office building surroundings were jam-packed with people standing in a long line when Victor’s convoy reached it then headed it then headed directly to the underground parking lot where Aria who woke up early as usual was waiting for him with a few managers and the director Steven Silberburg who were dressed formally.

Today was when the public audition for the new movie series Dragon Princess: The Reckoning (Working Title) would be held, and it was an important public event for the company's future!

As soon as the cars stopped and Victor’s pretty wives poured out the executives couldn’t help but bow respectfully. It was not their fault. The girls were just that pretty.

“Good morning sir!” the executives greeted, but Victor just gave them a cold nod and then looked at Aria.

“Why are there many people outside? Didn’t I tell you to screen them and keep only 1%?” he asked. He didn’t want to stay all day.

“Those are the 5% of those who requested to participate! We have to screen them beforehand!” Aria said, making Victor a little shocked, this hadn’t happened in his past lifetime. Back then Horizon Media although famous, was never able to cause such a sensation!

“It must be the wedding!” Margret, who finished parking the car said as she helped Elise in her wheelchair. The girl still needed to act as if she had not been cured yet.

“Yes, it was free publicity for the company!” Aria nodded. “The reception office has been busy lately with all kinds of partnership offers!” After the wedding, many of the residents of Wiren principality became aware that the one behind Horizons media was some very noble bigshot.

“Whatever… Then let’s go, I don’t have all day to waste!” Victor said then quickly turned and headed towards the auditorium followed by Lily and Lin who hurried wanting to take the seats beside him.

Vanessa who was in the car with the girls looked at Mona and the twins and then walked after him. She wanted to see how her son would fare in the audition. She spotted them near the door outside waiting for his turn while striking up a conversation with some big-boobed slutty girl.

“What’s wrong with Victor?” Aria asked as she raised one eyebrow. Victor was in a very good mood in the morning when she left.

“A fish escaped, slipping right from his hands back into the ocean… It was a very big fish! ” Margret replied as she casually shook hands with the managers and introduced Elise to them.

Margret was at the moment the company's vice president after all, and while Aria was responsible for the general management and the publishing division, Margret was responsible for the creative and investment sides.

“Oh… That’s a first!” Aria, who understood what Margret meant, said in surprise. How could some girl escape Victor’s grasp? Was this even possible?

“Yeah… I bet he will go fishing again very soon to vent his anger…” Margret sighed.

…

When Victor arrived at his seat the auditorium was already packed full with many invited guests and participants who had been here since yesterday to get a seat.

Mike with his twin wives who left the mansion early with Aria was sitting there right behind Victor when he sat. “Do you really have to hold a public audition?” Mike asked as he looked around.

“I plan to expand the company’s activities and this is a good chance to fish for prospective Actors… Even if we aren't chosen for this movie, I will make sure to sign them up to work for me!” he explained as he began to look around while licking his lips and noticing the pretty young actresses who came here. He had an image to maintain after all.

“Oh…” Mike nodded, he wasn’t really in the media business.

Margret came in moments later and then helped Elise to her seat on the judges' table at the front and then sat next to her, making Mike who was watching squint his eyes at this young sister-in-law he got. She was blind, why was she in the audition? Was she a judge?

“She had been locked up her entire life… She wanted to come out so I brought her here!” Victor, who read Mike’s thoughts, said. “And she has very sensitive ears, so she is suitable to feel the actor's engagement with the role!”

“Oh… This is reasonable." Mike nodded, he didn't believe any of Victor's bullshit, but he appreciated the fact that he was trying to pamper the little girl, "Did you two… you know…” Mike said, raising one eyebrow.

“Who knows…” Victor shrugged, making Mike smirk as he watched Victor’s harem take their seats.

Slowly the lights of the auditorium dimmed down. Mira walked onto the stage as everyone went silent.

“Thank you all for participating in this audition for the movie Dragon Princess: The Reckoning!” she said. “This movie as you all heard will be the start of a new direction that would partially adopt the world of the video game World of Truth into the narrative!” she explained as the few invited reporters began to write down what she said.

“This would be the most expensive work in the history of cinema, as the entire work will be in 7 parts and it will be shot at the same time, featuring an expansive cast of 420 characters!” she said proudly. “The scripts had already been completed by the famous author CrymsonPearl! And it was too perfect that the CEO was moved to tears!” she added, causing most of those in the audience to frown as they didn’t recognize the author's name. They wondered if he was really good or if Victor was just a crybaby.

Still, a few others did recognize the name. They were people of culture like Micheal who just got in and couldn’t believe his ears when hearing the all too familiar name… CrymsonPearl was the pen name of the most famous adult novel writer in the world! He appeared online about 5 years ago, and his stories, although didn’t sell well, were considered masterpieces among certain 'cretics' as his novels are very imaginative and descriptive!

“Now, First of all, I would like to welcome you all here and welcome our judges and the CEO, my husband, Victor White who will be helping to oversee this audition,” she added as Victor stood up and waved to the crowds with a depraved smile. “Although Mr White is not a part of the judges he will have the ultimate choice, so you better not upset him!”

“Let’s introduce our five judges… The Director Mr. Steven Silberburg, Our Vice president Mrs. Margret White, Our guest Mrs. Elise White, Our casting Director George Halo and Our one and only star John Sigma!” Mira introduced the judges carefully.

Many in the auditorium began to ask who Elise was, and the answer was figured out immediately. She was the CEO's wife! This caused a few to start complaining about nepotism, but those were quickly and kindly escorted out of the auditorium which quickly became quiet again.

“Now, before we start I have some good and bad news!” Mira said after clearing her throat. “The bad news is that we have 1284 Participants today, so your chance of getting selected is very slim!” she explained in a sad tone.

“What is the good news?” a smart girl in the auditorium asked before Mira could continue. Drawing attention to herself.

“The good news is that if you manage to impress our CEO or our vice president, you will be offered a one-in-a-lifetime contract to be a Horizons media star! We will not only offer you training, but also a salary and roles in suitable future works!” she said making many of those who were feeling they didn’t have a chance to get a role gain some hope again!

“Now, let’s start… The first role we will be the Princess's slutty maid, I invite those who chose this role to go on stage…” Mira said then stepped down as many young actresses climbed into the set.

“Wait, is that?” Victor exclaimed as he saw one of them then looked at Margret who was looking back at him. “When?” he asked telepathically using his wives’ connection.

“Two days ago… I saw her next to a shady nightclub, hesitating to enter, so I figured that the world's future best porn star would definitely be a good candidate for this role!”

“Oh…” Victor nodded his eyes sparkling as a certain girl who sat next to him began to pinch his hand. He ignored her and began to watch the audition.

As expected, the girl got the role without anyone’s help. If you can fake it in cheap porn, you can fake it anywhere!

The results wouldn't be announced today though to avoid riots.

“Now, thank you all, we will email you the results in two days… The next role is for the evil slutty twins…” Mira said, making 5 pairs of twins go on stage. They included Mike’s wives.

“Just wondering… Is there a woman who is not a slut in your movie?” Mike asked with a smile as he watched his nervous wives prepare for their turn.

“Who knows…” Victor dodged the question as he watched Honey and Bonny play the role to perfection. Although they didn't have to, they must have been training hard yesterday, he could see the black circles around their eyes.

Finishing with those Victor yawned as he watched the auditions one by one, not interfering at all. He was still detected because of losing Tulip. This girl was supposed to be his trump card.

Still, it was not a total loss, as he now has an idea about the Lords, those guys seemed to be ruled by some of the same set of rules that apply to every other player, as that Lord, Hua Hua, was not able to curse him as she intended due to insufficient authority.

Although he should try to avoid them in his future plans, he must find a way to scam some of them for contingencies. For now, he had to wait and see if that bloodlord would make a move or not.

Suddenly the sound of yelling forced Victor to wake up from his contemplations and look up.

On the stage, a young man was cursing at the judges because they asked him to leave without letting him continue acting the scene. It was clear that he had been rejected.

“You are not fit!” Elise who seemed to be the one who rejected the guy said. “Your sound is too soft for the role…” she said, causing the man to suddenly jump off stage and approach her.

“Too soft? FUCK YOU! You are the soft one! Do you know who my father is?” He asked angrily, as from under his shirt he took a gun fired around on the ceiling, and pointed it at Elise while the other judges ducked under the table, this included Margret who secretly activated a deflection Talisman before she began to move.

“Is my sound manly enough now?” the guy yelled angrily, making Elise shiver a little as many in the audience ducked down while others hurried to try to leave. The guards who wanted to approach the man froze as Elise, who was in a wheelchair and couldn't dodge, was virtually taken hostage.

“How can a blind girl judge my talent… I will kill you bitch, you better return to your job of f*cking your husband’s…” The guy didn’t continue as two gunshots sounded and a streak of blood began to drip from the man’s now empty hand. And his crotch where a 1-inch hole appeared!

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! You SHOT ME!” the guy shouted in disbelief as he looked to the side where Margret who crawled to the other side of the judged table used her personal ruby studded gun to shoot him.

Beating even Victor who didn’t have the chance to use the gun that secretly took from his storage ring moments earlier.

“So what?” Margret asked as she slowly stood up, then began dusting her dress that seemed to have been damaged a little when she crawled on the ground earlier, “Fuck! It is all ruined! Do you know how much this dress cost me? I had to literally work my ass off to get Victor to buy it for me!” she cursed while flailing her gun at him. It was as if ruining her dress was more important than the poor man losing his manhood.

“YOU!...” The man who was fuming with anger wanted to say something but he collapsed to the ground in pain moments later as his brain began to process what happened. He didn’t stay there for long as two burly chicks quickly apprehended then dragged him away. Firstly, they would heal him and then, for the next year or two, he would play the role of a regenerable snack for the hounds.

“Ehm… Sorry for that… We will take a small rest for lunch now… We will continue after 15 Minutes!” Mira quickly announced as many people began to flee and the cleaning crew ran to the stage to clean the blood off it.

“That girl is good…” Mike said, eyeing Margret, he should have stolen it from Victor when he had a chance in Newlure City. Sluts like her were a rare find!

“I know… She is the best,” Victor nodded as he put his gun away. He gave his girls a reassuring look, then started sending Kai instructions to find any news about that young man. Victor didn’t believe in coincidences, and that man’s actions were definitely not random!

“Do you have a moment? I want to have a private word with you…” Mike suddenly said, looking at his watch.

“Let’s go and grab something to eat,” Victor nodded and said then looked at Lily who gave him a nod before she hurried toward Elise who seemed a little shaken. As a little girl she was not really used to such situations, still during the whole ordeal, she kept her act as a brave blind girl, playing the role perfectly.
