"Speak," Tristan Lycan ordered in a cool tone.
Flynn told him a summarized version of his history with Jack. He made sure to highlight Jack's evil deeds and how he had interfered in Flynn's love life.
Tristan let out a condescending chuckle after Flynn was done speaking. "You can't even handle someone who's just a small-time celebrity?"
Flynn quickly explained himself, "I might have to expend more effort if I want to get rid of him. Besides, I know that you enjoy having absolute power over somebody else's fate."
Even though Soul was only an up-and-coming idol currently, his impact in the scene could not be underestimated.
While it would be troublesome for Flynn to deal with Jack, the same couldn't be said for Tristan. It would be as easy as breathing for Tristan if he decided to involve himself.
"Alright. You can go now."
Tristan waved him off carelessly. While Tristan gave off the impression of being nonchalant, Flynn knew better. He knew that Tristan had agreed to his request. He was so overjoyed that he nearly fell to the ground to kiss Tristan's shoes in thanks.
While not many people knew of Tristan's history, Flynn was one of the few who was keenly aware of his background.
In Flynn's eyes, Tristan was someone with real power. His wealth and authority were unmatched. Jack's existence was even more insignificant than an ant in Tristan's eyes. Tristan could easily snuff out all of Jack's opportunities if he wanted to.
Jack had his hands full preparing for the launch of his large-scale game that he didn't realize that trouble was looming on the horizon. Everything was proceeding smoothly. There were no signs that could have warned him beforehand.
At the same time, Jack also continued his work in the music scene.
Soul's third single, "River Of Time", had made a sudden appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 and gained an outpouring of support on the internet. Soul's mere existence on the digital music scene was already similar to a god at this point in time.
The two singles that he released previously, "Time" and "Heart's Desire", both firmly occupied the top two spots on the Billboard Hot 100. Their positions were unchallenged thus far.
It was extremely difficult for new song releases to squeeze their way into the third spot on the chart. Other than Soul's songs, the third spot was occupied by Luca. It was the uniquely Soul-esque sound in "The Years Behind Us" that solidified his position in third place.
Even if a seasoned singer was able to enter the top three, it wouldn't be long before Luca's song reclaimed its spot.
However, Soul's "River of Time" once again caused an uproar with its release. The song had an upbeat and bright melody that resonated strongly with the audience.
