Chapter 42 Anxious Director Wan
Eric felt a chill all over his body. After what felt like a long time. His eyes fluttered open.
He looked around and found that he was still in the oil barrel. The demon-like figure was still fussing around in the power station, muttering, "D*mn! I'm so unlucky! The power was cut off at the critical moment. It's really troublesome to do things in this abandoned construction site."
Eric felt lucky and relieved that he had survived. It turned out that the power was cut off just in time. It was no wonder that he was still alive.
However, looking at Zachary's busy figure, a tingling sensation ran down Eric's spine. Zachary really dared to kill him. Although money was important, it was not as important as his life.
Eric's fear had ignited his instinct to survive. He shouted loudly, "Sir, I'll give you the copy. Please spare me."
Zachary turned around and said blandly, "Nope, it'll be better to kill you. Who knows if you still have other copies."
Hearing this, Eric's heart skipped a beat. He said immediately, "Sir, there is only one copy. I will give it to you immediately. There are also other videos inside the storage card. I'll give them all to you. I'm not going to be a paparazzi anymore." "Those videos are useless to me. I just work for money," Zachary said indifferently, pretending to be a desperado. He strode towards Eric with the wire emitting blue sparks.
"Sir, the videos captured many influential people. You can use the videos to blackmail them for help or money if you need it in the future." Eric was used to blackmailing people.
"Oh, this is quite interesting," Zachary sounded intrigued.
Eric continued immediately, "Sir, don't worry. Those influential people are all rich. It's easy to get hundreds of thousands of yuan from them. Some of them may even pay in millions. Also, they dare not call the police. So, it's very safe." "Really? Where's the storage card?"
Hearing this, Eric got a glimpse of hope. He climbed out of the oil barrel and rushed towards the pile of construction materials. He finally found the storage card he had hidden after rummaging through the construction materials for a few moments. Then, he handed it to Zachary respectfully.
Zachary took the storage card and inserted it into the camera to have a look. The size of the file was several GBs. There were numerous videos and pictures inside it featuring public figures, including Director Wan and Dean Liu. It was no wonder that this guy knew Dean Liu, as he had taken similar videos before.
Zachary kept the storage card and gazed at Eric coldly. Then, he glanced at the wire in his hand again and said, "Is there really no other copies? I think it'll still be better to just kill you."
Eric was terrified. He bowed repeatedly and begged, "Sir, please don't kill me. The videos and photos will leak out easily if we make too many copies. This is a well-known fact in our industry. So, this is definitely my last copy. Sir, you have to believe me!"
"Really?"
"Absolutely!"
"I'll believe you for once then. Get lost!" Zachary ordered.
Relieved, Eric scrambled away immediately. Zachary observed him while he was running away and found that he was not lying. After all, he had threatened to kill Eric!
After that, Zachary moved forward quickly and raised his hand to hit Eric's neck. Eric blacked out immediately and fell to the ground.
He still needed to make use of Eric for his next move.
After making sure that Eric had fainted and would not wake up within a short period of time, Zachary threw away the wire in his hand and blended into the shadows again.

He used a simple trick to threaten Eric just now. Electricity was indeed flowing through the wire when Zachary showed him the wire. However, he cut off the electricity right before he inserted the wire into the water. The numbness and convulsion Eric experienced were caused by the application of pressure on some acupuncture points on his body.
Logan, who was standing at the main entrance of Kingsbury Hotel, wiped the sweat off his face as he took out his phone.
He had just sent Director Liu to the hospital and rushed back to the hotel to send the others back. He had been busy until now.
"Janet, where are you? How's everything going over there?"
"Director Wan, I'll be there soon. Let's talk about it there."
While they were talking, Janet walked out of a coffee shop. She greeted Logan with an anxious look on her face.
"How's it going? Did you get the video?" Logan asked anxiously.
Logan had really gone all out this time. He was reprimanded by his superior because Henric had canceled the advertisement of Ricardo Group on Ludington TV after the incident in Lorenzo Road. Logan's superior was even considering to transfer him away.
Lauren also wanted to resign during this critical period, forcing him into a difficult situation. Back then, when he selfishly replaced Lauren with Janet, who was obviously not as good as Lauren, he had dissatisfied many people. It was just that they didn't act against him.
This time, however, those who did not agree with his actions would definitely not show him mercy if he lost the sponsorship of the advertisement and also drove the most popular reporter away.
Therefore, Logan took the risk this time. He forced Lauren to sleep with Aldred when he was here for inspection. Then, he asked Janet to inform the paparazzi to take a video of them secretly. Logan could use the video to threaten Lauren and Aldred so that he could still be the director of the TV station.

"Where is it?" Logan asked anxiously. This was important for his career.
Janet looked troubled. She stammered, "I just called the paparazzi. But, their phone was off. Perhaps Mr. Wong has something to deal with. Brother Wan, you don't have to worry."
"What?" Logan shouted. How could he not be anxious? "Where are they? I'm going to find them. We must get the video."
Janet's expression sank further. She muttered, "I just went to the room where they took the video secretly. But, they have already left. I can't contact them."
"You... Why can't you handle such a small matter!" Logan said furiously and slapped her.
Janet knew that she had done something wrong. She covered her swollen face with her hand and didn't dare to utter anything other than comforting words, "Brother Wan, don't worry. Perhaps their phones are dead. They will definitely get back to me soon. Mr. Wong promised me that he will send me the video."
"Can you believe the words of that kind of person?" Logan fumed and his rage burned further the more he thought about it. He slapped Janet's face again.
Logan's phone rang at this moment. He took out his phone and found that the phone call was from a strange number. After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the phone, "Hello..."
"I have what you want!" The voice on the other end of the phone was a little hoarse.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Logan said alarmingly.
"Come to this place right now if you want it," The other party gave him an address. It was an abandoned construction site not far from here.
"I have something interesting with me as well. Of course, if you dare to play tricks with me, I'll make some things public and I'm sure everyone will be very interested in it."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"You..." Before Logan could say anything else, the call was hung up on the other end.
