Chapter 1355: Broadcast

Kieran didn’t dislike those who trusted their beliefs and upheld justice, but…

He would not want to work with them!

Because the beliefs and bottom line that he admired would eventually be shackling to him, binding him from being able to perform certain acts.

Kieran didn’t have any kind of special fetishes, so if it was possible, he wouldn’t want to work with Mei Huasheng.

Therefore, when Eckart’s words subsided, he asked, “Does she really have to be the consultant?”

Kieran looked at Eckart with a stern look, the latter also noticed Kieran’s emotions.

Eckart thought highly of Kieran since they were working together now, but he didn’t answer right away and thought about the question for a while.

“If we want to achieve the best effect, Officer Mei Huasheng must show herself in front of the camera.”

“You know, with her identity, it will garner attention and support easier, but if you aren’t willing to… I’ll think of a way to reject her,” said Eckart.

Kieran, however, went silent after the reply.

Ultimately, he nodded in agreement. He didn’t reject Mei Huasheng to joining the show anymore because, based on his guesses, in order to activate [Reverse Bracelet] again, he would need sufficient energy to fuel the ‘turnaround’ authentication.

Given the circumstances, Mei Huasheng’s addition would be the best without question.

Just like what Eckart said, her identity was very convenient and easier to convince people.

“What are we going to do next?”

After agreeing to Mei Huasheng’s participation, Kieran didn’t tangle with the facts anymore, he started to ask about the next step.

The path was always under his feet, only by looking and moving forward, could he achieve what he sought after and was what he should be doing.

“An hour later, the contents that didn’t get aired yesterday will go live… through the internet!”

“Then, we will start a live session at night, at Edwood Mansion!”

Eckart said while showing confidence in his words.

…

“Edwood Mansion?!”

When Lyn Amie found out they were heading to the mansion at night, he cried out loud and was terrified.

“What’s wrong?” Kieran asked without opening his eyes as he leaned back on the sofa.

“WHAT’S WRONG? THAT PLACE IS HAUNTED!”

“People didn’t just die there, anyone who dares step into the mansion will be struck by misfortune!” Lym Amie heightened his pitch.

His heightened pitch obviously disturbed Kieran’s nap.

Besides, Kieran already knew about what Lyn Amie said, Eckart had told him everything about Edwood Mansion earlier, and it was much more detailed than the vague description from the makeup artist.

As a matter of fact, someone did die inside, but not all who stepped in fell into misfortune.

Of course, Kieran wouldn’t tell Lyn Amie all that. He opened a seam with his eyelids and saw Lyn Amie’s terrified face.

“Then? So what? You want out? If you really want out, go tell Eckart about it,” said Kieran calmly.

Lyn Amie did not utter another word after that. He wasn’t willing to part with this job that paid him well.

“If you understand what your position is, then…”

“Go prepare lunch for me.”

“Get enough meat and soup and find me a real chef. If you dare to destroy ingredients, I’ll simply tell Eckart to fire you.”

Kieran then closed his eyes again after making his order.

“I-I am a makeup artist! Not a chef!” Lyn Amie cried but still followed the orders.

The room quieted down again.

Kieran seized the chance to rest again.

Although a day has passed, he still couldn’t get used to his ‘weakened’ state, especially when Stamina and Concentration were greatly burned out, he felt like he was always sleepy.

The worst thing was that he knew he had to maintain this lousy state for quite a long time.

And to make sure ‘accidents’ wouldn’t happen while he was weakened, he had to adjust some of his habits.

He at least had to seize the opportunity to rest whenever he could.

It was very easy for a person who was always tired, but maintaining a high alert while resting was a little hard for him.

It may even cause some backlash. So Kieran had to adapt and compromise, he had to make preparations.

He placed the chair behind the door, sticking the back of the chair directly under the handle. Although he locked the door, such a lock could only defend against a common thief, not intentional foes. Any slightly powerful impact would ram the door down easily, and if the enemy grasped the correct position, the door could be opened with a single kick.

The sofa in the middle of the room was pushed under the window, thus placing it in a blind spot. Enemies who tried to probe the situation in the room would not have noticed the sofa because of the angle, and when the curtains were closed, the whole room became dark and quiet.

After calculating how long would it take for Lyn Amie to buy lunch, Kieran closed his eyes and tightened his jacket before lying down on the sofa.

Kieran fell asleep almost instantly.

Dak Dak Dak.

Footsteps entered Kieran’s ears, thus waking him up in an instant.

He turned to the clock on the wall, it was only half an hour since he fell asleep.

In his calculation, it would at least take Lyn Amie around an hour to get back with lunch, and based on the footsteps, it wasn’t the makeup artist.

Kieran quickly arranged the sofa back to where it was and removed the chair from the door.

Dok Dok Dok.

Knocks on the door followed.

Kieran went over and opened the door.

It was Mei Huasheng in casual clothing outside the door.

Kieran moved his body and allowed her to come in.

When both of them sat down, the lady who was once a warrior spoke.

“You guys are going to Edwood Mansion tonight?” she asked.

“It’s ‘we.’ Kieran emphasized on the mistake in her question.

Mei Huasheng frowned before nodding, “Yes, we.”

She acknowledged Kieran’s way of saying things.

A stiff person like Mei Huasheng wouldn’t have lied, and if one had the intentions, one could easily tease and play her between their palms using the rules.

However, its best not to cross her bottom line, otherwise the one who played with fire would get burned.

Therefore, Kieran kept quiet and didn’t take the initiative to speak, neither did Mei Huasheng.

What she asked just now was about work.

Privately?

Mei Huasheng didn’t even want to bat an eye at Kieran, a smart con man.

A con man who knew hypnosis would be naturally brilliant, and if he were to add in some disguise, his smart ways would easily confuse others, making them unable to differentiate between reality and illusion.

So, when she knew Kieran agreed to be the VIP guest on the ‘Shaman’ show, she too agreed to be the consultant because her instinct told her, if she let Kieran roam free and not keep an eye on him, something bad might happen.

Needless to say, a woman’s instinct was quite accurate at certain times.

Unfortunately, sometimes, her sight limited her imagination.

She would never know what Kieran was after.

Kieran leaned back on the sofa with squinted eyes, Mei Huasheng looked at Kieran, she still hadn’t given up on searching for Kieran’s flaws.

A part of her hated to lose, a part of it was occupational habits.

More importantly, she didn’t know what she could do at the moment.

Kieran?

He felt the judgment from her, but he didn’t care because…

The contents that didn’t get aired yesterday were live on the internet.
