From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 619 You Owe Me

Casper's face became pale, and June saw his fists shaking in anger. He leaned back, wondering if he asked an excessive question.

However, Casper's response was something June needed to hear.

"Then, I'll take revenge," Casper said, his voice deeper than his usual tone.

"I'll do everything in my power to show the world what that particular person had done."

"What are you going to do if that person has more money and influence than you?" June asked.

"Then, I'll exhaust all resources...and once they've been exhausted, I'll go for the next best thing—which is to find a person who has more resources than I do."

"We already know that money is the most important thing in the world," Casper continued.

June listened intently, finding this to be a very rare moment. It seemed like the thought of Luther dying unjustly rewired something in Casper's brain to make him speak smarter.

"Money creates influence. Influence creates power...and the powerful always takes a position. So, I'll look for someone who has all of that," Casper said.

"Money, influence, and power," June muttered, searching his mind for a person who has all three.

Then, it hit him.

He actually knew a person.

And the best part was?

That person owed him.

June smirked and placed the now-empty bowl in Casper's hand.

Then, he pushed him away from his room before locking the door.

Casper stared at the door, confused and lost. Then, he felt himself shaking again.

"Luther will never die," he muttered before going back to the kitchen to wash June's dishes.

Meanwhile, June scrolled through his contacts to look for a particular name. He was hesitant to save it at first since he didn't know when he would be able to use it. However, he was thankful for his past self for saving it nonetheless.

"There it is," June smirked, quickly clicking on the contact.

However, before he could click on the call button, the word 'Baldie' suddenly appeared on the screen, making June sigh.

"Bo Wen, I'm busy," he deadpanned as he answered the call.

"I know," Bo Wen urgently said. "But this is a very serious matter."

"What is?" June asked.

"I think my computer had been messed with. I was suspicious in the past few days, but I checked my webcam, which I forgot was turned on due to personal reasons, and found that Lin Zhi was pestering with my computer the other day!"

"He must have gotten some important files in my computer."

June sighed and shook his head. "I know. I think they're going to reveal it soon—my real past with Phoenix."

Bo Wen clicked his tongue. "What are we going to do? I saw Lin Zhi going inside the CEO's office this morning, and it seemed like they had a serious conversation. So, I went in to see what Lin Zhi presented him and discovered that he was blackmailing him with a cheating incident."

"Stay calm," June said, finding Lin Zhi's plan to be more thoroughly prepared than he had anticipated.

"I'm going to do something about it," June said.

"Can you even crack through the CEO, though?" Bo Wen asked.

"Who knows," June muttered. "We just have to try."

"For now, the only thing you need to do is change your computer password. Stop setting it as your wife's birthday! Moreover, encrypt the files on your computer. Only you should know how to open it."

Bo Wen sighed. "Alright. I'll keep you in check."

With that, June ended the call and unhesitatingly clicked on the contact name he had been intending to call in the first place.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, in one of the most expensive penthouse suites in the city, a woman who had just fallen into slumber was interrupted by the sound of her loud ringtone.

She jolted awake in her bed, startled, and quickly looked for her phone.

Then, when she saw the time, she cursed under her breath.

Who was calling her at this hour?

She didn't even bother to look at the contact name and merely answered the call, ready to give the person a scolding for interrupting her precious sleep. She had been restless for the last few days for no reason, and now, an unexpected person was calling her?

She answered the phone and prepared to give him an earful, but he spoke before she was able to.

"Lena Park," June said, causing Lena to bite her lip in anger.

"June," she said through gritted teeth. "I never expected you to call at such an hour."

"Ah, right," June nonchalantly said. "It must be dawn where you're at, right?"

Lena closed her eyes and let out a deep breath to calm herself down.

"If you don't have any reason for calling me, then I'm going to hang up."

"I do have a valid reason," June quickly said.

"Is it about Minjun?" Lena asked, the sleepiness suddenly leaving her body.

"Or my mom?" she fervently asked.

"Nope," June nonchalantly said, making her even more annoyed.

"Then, what?" she nearly screamed.

"You have a lot of money, right?" June asked, causing her to frown.

"You called me at 3 in the morning just to tell me that?" she asked in disbelief.

"Just answer the question," June said. "You have a lot of money. Your husband does, too."

Lena sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Yes! I have a lot of money, power, and influence! And I can probably even buy you if I wanted," she exclaimed out of anger.

"Good," June said, making Lena confused.

"Now, what are you going on about?" she asked, already tired of their conversation.

"I need you to do something for me."

Lena's eyebrows raised in surprise. She couldn't believe she met someone with such a thick face in this lifetime.

"What am I? Your servant?"

June didn't answer her question and mentioned the favor he needed instead.

"My career is on the line," June said.

"Someone from Phoenix is going to release a statement about me one of these days, and the CEO is probably going to back him up," June continued.

Lena's eyebrows furrowed once Phoenix was mentioned. She knew that June had been affiliated with Phoenix before, and she also knew about the incidents that led to his departure from the company. However, why was he still affiliated with them now?

"So, what do you want me to do?" Lena asked.

"I don't know what you truly do, nor do I know the extent of your money or power," June started off. "However, I know that you're much more powerful than I am."

"In this sense, I need you to stop the CEO from backing the allegations against me at all costs."

Lena shook her head. "Why won't you ask me to block the allegations instead?"

"Because it will always get out...someway...somehow. However, we may not control how information is going to flow, but we can always manipulate how people are going to interpret it."

Lena pursed her lips. "Granted that I can do this—why would I be helping you? You're not my family. You're not my friend. We don't consider each other as important people in each other's lives."

"I know," June said, looking out of his window.

"But you owe me," he continued, causing Lena to frown.

"You owe me, Miss Lena Park."

Lena was brought back to the time when June saved Minjun from a near-death experience, causing her to curse under her breath.

"You're not going to go back on your word, are you?"
