Demons Beside You

Chapter 472: Obstacle

Everyone in the crew came over, including James and Steven.

“Libel, what are you doing?” James roared.

“Mr. Steven, this man is harassing Miss Lucy. I happened to hear her calling for help, so I came into this tent. I saw him doing something to Lucy.”

Steven stared at Libel with a dark expression and then looked at Lucy. “Lucy, what’s going on?”

Lucy had joined the cast because of Chen Zhao’s recommendation. Steven didn’t want to ask about their relationship.

But how could Chen Zhao have dangerous thoughts about Lucy, causing her to cry for help? What was this?

“Mr. Steven, I don’t know what Libel is doing, but I heard that Chen was here, so I came to say hi. But Libel came first and wanted me to work with him. I don’t know what problem he has with Chen, but I think he’s slandering Chen.” Lucy didn’t even have to lie. She just said the truth.

Libel blanched. To him, Lucy was a minor female lead, while he was the male lead of this movie.

No matter what, Lucy should be on his side and cooperate with him.

Instead, Lucy didn’t follow his script at all. This frustrated and angered him.

Libel felt even more embarrassed, but he had to save his ego. “I get it,” he immediately said. “You two have a secret fling! Don’t you know we’re filming right now? Everyone’s busy with work outside, while you two are f*cking here?”

Libel looked at Steven. “Mr. Steven, I don’t think these two should stay in the cast and crew anymore. Their presence will only slow down our efficiency. I suggest kicking them out.”

Steven stared at him with a dark face. “Libel, this is my cast. I decide on all the roles and workers. I don’t need anyone to make suggestions for me. Also, the free time between shoots is the crew’s own time. They can do whatever they want. They don’t need your permission.”

Anyone could tell that Libel had a grudge against Chen Zhao. He was purposely causing trouble.

Even if Chen Zhao was at fault, Steven would be on his side, let alone now that he was the innocent one.

“If you think you have too much time, then go memorize your lines, instead of causing trouble in my cast!” Steven practically roared. “Also, I hope you won’t be late again. Even more, I hope you won’t show up to film without preparing even a single line. If you’re like this again tomorrow, you better get the f*ck out.”

“I signed a contract. No one can replace me, not even you.”

Libel saw that Steven wasn’t giving him any special treatment as the male lead, so he went all out too.

He was used to being a big shot in all the crews. No matter where he went, he had no fear. Even directors had to spoil him.

When he joined Steven’s cast, his manager had told him to restrain himself.

He’d indeed planned on restraining himself, but he was completely humiliated by Steven in front of the entire crew, so he just exploded.

“I’m giving you a chance to leave by yourself,” Steven said coldly. “Take your people and get out.”

“With what? Steven, I have a contract.”

Steven laughed. Contract?

A contract only came into effect when the two parties had equal status.

It was completely useless to him. Steven only had to declare that Libel was the one who’d violated the contract first. He ignored the rules, acted like a big shot, did whatever he wanted, and harassed an actress of the same cast. Steven could reasonably fire Libel.

He could even ask for compensation and ruin Libel’s acting career while he was at it.

As long as he released this announcement, Libel wouldn’t be able to get any more roles. He could probably only go to San Fernando Valley.

Steven pulled out his phone and called someone. “Morris, your man is causing trouble in my crew. I’m very unhappy with him and I’m rethinking if I want to continue using people from your company.”

On the other end of the phone, Morris was dumbfounded. What was going on?

“Steven, which actor is it?”

“Libel.”

Hearing this name, Morris got a headache too.

How could he not know what kind of person Libel was?

He was conceited and insensitive.

He was only a bit famous, but he thought he was some kind of god.

“Steven, let me apologize for him.”

“I don’t need an apology. Are you going to come take him away? Or should I kick him out myself?”

A crew didn’t usually change actors so suddenly. They usually changed people before they started filming because if they changed so suddenly, the scenes from before couldn’t be used anymore. The other actors would have to act with the new person too.

But Steven didn’t feel any stress for changing out Libel.

Libel had just come today and only filmed one scene. To Steven, it was just filming an extra scene.

The only annoyance was that he had to change the filming schedule.

Steven could also see that Libel was just troublesome.

Rather than changing him when Steven couldn’t stand him anymore in the middle or end, it was better to just kick him out now.

Libel didn’t expect for things to reach this point.

But Steven had already spoken, wanting to kick him out of the cast. There was no turning back.

This made Libel hate Chen Zhao even more. It was all because of this *sshole.

If not for him, Libel could shoot this movie without worry.

Libel and his followers were all driven out.

Libel could barely retain the anger within him.

“Go!” Libel brought his people to the pier. When he saw Chen Zhao’s yacht, fury rose up once again.

“Smash that yacht! Smash it to bits!”

Right then, the crew decided to shoot the scene at sea due to the changes in schedule. They moved to the beach and ended up seeing Libel smashing the yacht.

“This b*stard!” Steven’s face darkened. He was about to go and stop Libel.

“Film this bit,” Chen Zhao said. “You don’t have to worry about anything else.”

Steven glanced at him. “What are you going to do?”

“I remember there’s a scene where the Mexican gang’s leader gets on a boat to escape, gets caught up by Amon, and then the boat sinks, right?”

“Are you sure Amon won’t get hurt?” Steven only worried about Amon.

After all, he loved this “actor” of his cast and also had a close relationship with Chen Zhao. He naturally didn’t want Amon to get hurt.
