Chapter 68

—————— Well, this chapter is quite melodramatic. I'm already prepared for the criticism. —————— After the arduous action scene was filmed, the staff on set began to pack up the props; the artists returned to the hotel in small groups.

Ban Yumi, Hori Kitami, Aragaki Yui, and Hoshino Mutsu, four girls, silently waited for Kawanaka Hane at the spot. For some reason, they felt very secure around Kawanaka Hane... Another person who didn't leave was the male lead, Yamada Takayuki, who played Meng Xinghun.

"Mr. Yamada, why aren't you resting? Is there something you need to talk about?" Kawanaka Hane felt that Yamada Takayuki seemed to have something to say, so he smiled and asked.

"Yes, I do have something I want to discuss with you, Mr. Kawanaka," Yamada Takayuki hesitated for a moment and said.

"Sure..." Kawanaka Hane and Yamada Takayuki walked to the resting area on set and sat down.

Hori Kitami and the other girls watched from a distance, not daring to disturb the two...

"What is it?" Kawanaka Hane smiled.

Yamada Takayuki looked deeply at Kawanaka Hane, "I want to sign a contract with you?"

"What? Don't joke around!!" Kawanaka Hane was shocked, thinking Yamada Takayuki was joking. But when he saw Yamada Takayuki's serious and solemn expression, he knew he wasn't joking...

The girls who had been watching Kawanaka Hane and Yamada Takayuki from a distance heard Kawanaka Hane's surprised exclamation...

They all started to guess what had happened...

"It's rare to see the uncle so flustered... What happened?" Ban Yumi was curious.

Aragaki Yui touched her chin, making a thinking pose like Conan, "There's only one truth... I think the answer is..."

She deliberately paused, and Hori Kitami, Shinoda Mariko, and Hoshino Mutsu looked at her expectantly...

"I think Mr. Yamada confessed to the uncle... So you know..." Aragaki Yui said proudly.

Ban Yumi high-fived Aragaki Yui, "Great minds think alike. I thought the same thing!"

Aragaki Yui, Shinoda Mariko, and Hoshino Mutsu all had black lines on their faces, "What's going on here... You two are so stupid... Watching too much yaoi anime, aren't you..."

On the other side, Kawanaka Hane looked at Yamada Takayuki seriously.

"Mr. Yamada, are you serious? Can you tell me the reason? And if I want to sign you, the Starlight Group might not let you go..." Kawanaka Hane asked a series of questions.

"I have already terminated my contract with my original agent... and my contract with the Starlight Group is about to expire..." Yamada Takayuki's smile had a hint of bitterness.

Kawanaka Hane didn't ask, but Yamada Takayuki continued...

"To be honest, the Starlight Group has been very good to me... I wouldn't be where I am today without them... I am very grateful for their support, so I always do my best for the agency's arrangements. I don't think I have ever let them down... But they made a grave mistake by terminating my contract with my first agent... She was my first agent... I wouldn't be here without her... We worked very well together... One day, the agency suddenly told me that she had terminated her contract with me... I was incredibly angry. But I didn't know what to do... She also sent me a text message, hoping I wouldn't blame the agency..."

By this point, Kawanaka Hane had a guess... The agent must have been a woman, and most likely Yamada Takayuki's childhood friend...

Sure enough, Yamada Takayuki continued, "After she left... I was angry, but I still worked very hard... But I was wrong..."

Kawanaka Hane's expression became serious, knowing the climax was approaching.

"One day, a friend brought me an adult film CD... and asked if the person in it was her..." Yamada Takayuki's voice had become abnormally hoarse...

"I recognized her at first glance... I tried to stay calm... That day was the only time I cried as an adult... I couldn't believe she would willingly enter that industry. I secretly hired a private detective to investigate... It turned out everything was orchestrated by the agency. Perhaps they sensed my actions... Soon after, they assigned me a new agent, who was essentially a dog they placed in front of me..."

Yamada Takayuki didn't say more, but Kawanaka Hane had already guessed the outcome... The conflict between them grew larger and larger, and eventually, Yamada Takayuki decided to confront them...

After Yamada Takayuki finished speaking, he quietly waited for Kawanaka Hane to think. He knew his current problem was very difficult to solve. On one hand, if he unilaterally terminated his contract with the Starlight Group, he would face not only the Starlight Group's blacklist but also the blacklist from its ally, Johnny's & Associates, which would make it impossible for him to survive in the entertainment industry. Even rival agencies might take advantage of the situation... because he was challenging an unwritten rule in the entertainment industry. On the other hand, Kawanaka Hane and the artists under him might also be greatly affected, possibly even ending their careers...

What Yamada Takayuki was worried about was also what Kawanaka Hane was considering. He was weighing the risks and benefits of signing Yamada Takayuki... Undoubtedly, Yamada Takayuki was a very promising actor... But if he signed him rashly, he and the girls like Ban Yumi might fall into a deep abyss...

He believed what Yamada Takayuki said, partly because of his intuition and partly because of his experience in two lifetimes. Generally, introverted people don't easily reveal their thoughts to others, but once they do, it means they trust the person a lot or have a very good relationship. This was true for Ye Xiang, Meng Xinghun, and Han Tang in his previous life, and it was true for Yamada Takayuki now...

Kawanaka Hane looked back at the girls, who happened to be looking in his direction...

He gently lowered his head, and Yamada Takayuki, seeing Kawanaka Hane lower his head, felt a sudden chill in his heart...
