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 a 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.

"It 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 a n 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.

After getting a reply, the men left with satisfaction.



They naturally thought that Hector would still be the pushover that he had always been back then.

In the past, Hector would always nod in agreement as long a s they could offer him money.

He might have joined a n entertainment agency and had a proper job now, but so what? As long as
there was something good in it for him, he would never reject them.

As Hector watched the car drive away, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.He then turned
around and saw Lucy standing not far away.

Judging from the look on her face, she seemed to have heard everything.

Hector walked toward her.

"Since when did you arrive?"

Lucy slowly returned to her senses.She did not know why she would voluntarily walk out after the men
left.She was a little nervous.She knew that she seemed to have heard something she should not have
heard, but she could not just sit back and watch as things developed in an undesirable way.

"D-Do you really plan to help them?"

‘Shooting a video that can make someone such a high profit, it must be, by no means a proper video"

"Have you heard it all?"

"Yes," Lucy responded subconsciously, lowered her head, and dared not look directly into his eyes.

"Yes...I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop."

Hector smiled but did not get angry.



"It’s alright.As long as they didn’t find out you were here, I’m fine with you overhearing the
conversation."

Lucy stared at him.

"But do you really plan to help them?"

He did not say a word.

"I don’t think those friends of yours are proper people.Not to mention...The job that they offered is
definitely not something appropriate.They want to trick you into getting yourself involved.And they'll
betray you if it goes south."

Lucy didn’t like the slovenly attitude that the two men exuded, which made them look like the kind of
thugs that did not live by honest labor.
