95 Lok Entertainmen (2/2)

As an American, people are curious to why I am here because Lok Entertainment are only interested in auditioning its own people. Idols are idols because people want to look up to them. Thais don't want to look up to foreigners, at least not at the moment.

China is the worst of the bunch due to its national values.

I tell whoever asked politely that I am an investor.

It is also to show them that I do know their language. I know all the major languages. They stop talking shit behind my back after that. Some of them actually bother to move away from me to continue to talk shit or gossiping.

It takes about 2 minutes for someone to come and get me.

”Greeting Mr. Maxwell. Please come this way. The president would like to see you.”

I nod and follow the older gentleman towards the executive elevator, earning the attention as well as the envy of many people. More gossips and rumours abounded since the elevator is reserved only for the president, chairman and chief executive officer.

”Please don't mind them, Mr. Maxwell. It is not every day that they get to see someone of your status here in person.”

The man speaks up before I entered the elevator. It will go all the way to the top floor, directly to the head office.

I look at the Hydra ring on his finger and give him a dismissive shrug. The elevator closes after that and begins ascending rapidly.

Almost all companies founded after the 1980 has Hydra agents as leaders. This is because in the 1955 or so, Hydra has adopted countless orphans from all over the globe and train them alongside with the second generation.

Since this is one of the tallest buildings in Bangkok, it did take about a minute or so for the elevator to reach the top floor.

Since I am alone, I didn't say anything or do anything. I just stand there, humming to myself for a while before slapping myself mentally. Why didn't I just teleport directly to the top?

Oh well. Next time then.

I continue humming.

Once the elevator doors open, a person in his 40s greets me. Another man is with him, younger.

”Mr. Maxwell. It is a pleasure to have your company. My name is Chantara Boonmee. I am the current President and Chief Executive Officer of Lok Entertainment, and this is my brother Somchai Boonmee, the Chairman. What can we do for you, sir?”

”Chantara and Somchai.”

I pause for a second to commit their names to memory.

To be honest, it is quite hard to remember their names as I am more used to English names.

In addition, this is also the first time I have seen them both in person. Chantara and Somchai are Hydra agents as indicated by the ring around their middle finger, but since they are now the head of a huge company with thousands of people working under them, they rarely spend time at Hydra Headquarter.

Are they real brothers? Possibly if they were adopted by Hydra at the same time, but do I really need to know that? Not really.

”Let's talk more when we are all seated and be completely at ease. You two don't need to worry. I am not here to interfere with anything either. I am here to test out some spells.”

The both of them looks at each other.

”Spell, sir? As in magic spell?”

They question. It appears that they haven't keep up to date with all the current affairs.

Actually, most Hydra agents only keep up to date with what they need to know. There are simply too many things happening in Hydra. And working in the entertainment industry, why would they need to know about all the weapon developments and researches?

”Yes, magic spells like in those movies you guys produced. I will tell you all about it once we are seated.”

I reply before snapping my fingers and return to the elevator.

”Actually, on a second thought, let me demonstrate it to you. Seeing is believing after all. Let's go and see some auditions together, huh?”
