"It's a travel reality show," Silas explained. "However, you have to earn the travel expenses yourself. Work this week, travel the next, and the cycle repeats until the end of the season."
This wasn't the kind of reality show everyone had in mind.
Silas continued, "The travel fee is two hundred and fifty per person, so each couple will have to earn five hundred. Alright, everyone can get working."
"What's going to happen if we don't earn enough money?" Cailan Zigler and Sophia Dixton, another couple on the show, asked.
"We'll deduct the activities originally planned for you guys according to the amount of money you earn," Silas answered.
Just then, Hanson asked, "What if we don't manage to earn a single penny?"
He wrapped his arm lazily around his wife, having not the slightest interest in earning money or traveling.
After all, he could take Vania wherever she wanted to go. Right now, he just wanted to show his affection for Vania in public.
Hanson's question caught Silas off guard, and he hurriedly reacted. "You won't be able to leave, then. You can only move on to the next destination after earning the travel fee."
"How long will we be filming this episode?" Hanson suddenly asked, to which Silas answered honestly, having not given it much thought, "We'll stay in Alp Village for two days before heading to Wildlife Kingdom, which is our next destination."
Wildlife Kingdom was a stunning town with a beautiful environment and a designated wildlife reserve; it was the epitome of paradise.
After hearing Silas' words, Hanson turned to Vania and said, "Since we'll only be going two days later, let's just stay here for the time being. I'll have my money back at the end of this week's filming, and we can go on our own by then."
What kind of theory is this?! the crew thought. Then again, it makes so much sense that we can't refute it. What the heck?
Similarly, the other couples nodded in agreement after hearing Hanson's words. "He's got a point. Let's just do that." How have they never considered such a brilliant idea?
Silas, on the other hand, felt utterly troubled, thinking he couldn't continue directing this reality show anymore.
How am I supposed to film the rest of the show when the first round is already this difficult?! If all my celebrities are going to slack off and not give a damn about working now, what viewership can I expect when these guys are going to sit here and do nothing for three days?! Guys, can you please be a little professional?! At the very least, you should act in front of the camera!
He could only look at Vania, for she was his last hope now. After all, the great President Luke would only listen to her.
Vania sighed as she caught Silas' pleading look. Why did you guys even ask Hanson to join this show in the first place?
We don't want to either, but he's the one who funded the show! Silas replied with his gaze.
With that, Vania turned to Hanson and muttered, "Come on, we've signed a contract for this. Don't give the director a hard time."
"I can break it," said Hanson high-handedly. He had an attitude that screamed 'I have money, so I'm not afraid of paying the penalty.'
Since I'm loaded with money, I can be as unapologetic as I want.
Is this man going to rebel? Vania mused and said with a hint of threat, "If you're not going to cooperate, then I won't film the show with you anymore."
You're the one who took up the show, yet you want to go on a strike right now?
Alas, what could Vania do when Silas kept looking pleadingly at her?
As such, she cooed against Hanson's ear, "If you behave and play nice, I'll reward you when we get home."
Hanson's eyes lit up when he heard there would be a reward waiting for him. "In that case, do I get to choose my reward?" he asked, trying to negotiate with her.
Of course not! Vania immediately knew his request wouldn't be benign when he started leering at her.
