Chapter 1396
“Hector, you‘ve been doing well these years, huh? However, ever since you‘ve succeeded in life, you‘ve forgotten about your buddies.” The man wearing the thick, gold chain straightened Hector‘s collar and grinned. His pregnant tone sounded like he was trying to hint to Hector something.
Hector grabbed his hands, removed them from his collar, and smiled. “You guys are doing quite well yourselves too.”
The man next to him took out a pack of cigarettes. “It‘s obvious that we‘re not doing as well as you are. All of us went to prison together back then, but your career is currently skyrocketing like 5 space shuttle.”
He took out one and handed it to Hector.
Hector did not take the cigarette from him.
I‘ve quit smoking.”
The man inserted the cigarette in his mouth, took out a lighter, lit it, and took a puff. “Even Maverick can‘t satisfy you now?”
“I‘ve quit smoking, for real. It‘s not that I don‘t like it.” Hector lowered his gaze, smiled, lowered his head, and took a glimpse at his watch. “It‘s getting late already. Thank you for sending me back.‘
The man with the gold chain wrapped his hand on Hector‘s shoulder and rubbed his nose. “Don‘t worry about that. And since we‘re buddies, will you lend your buddy a helping hand when he‘s in trouble?“.
Hector had already seen through them at a glance and scoffed. “t depends on what trouble we‘re talking about here.” Lucy hid behind the wall, heard their conversation, and was shocked as what she heard was borderline unbelievable.
“How did Hector get to know these people, and… What does it mean that they went to jail together?
The man wearing the gold chain said something to Hector, and the latter frowned. I‘m afraid I can‘t help you with this matter.”
“What can‘t you do to help? You even smuggled stuff with us back then, didn‘t you? Besides, we‘re not committing a crime this time around. We only plan to shoot some short videos. Both of us are only in charge of finding the actress for the shooting. Since you‘re working under an entertainment agency, you‘re in the exact position to get us connected. Anyway, even an extra will do.
“Of course, we won‘t get you implicated. What we want to do is on us. All you need to do is get us connected to the candidate we need. Even if something goes wrong, someone will bail you out. I promise you that once we get our hands on the profits, you‘ll get 30% of the payment.”
Hector was silent for a moment and agreed to the plan.
