Chapter 348 Ceremony

Chu Han fell silent for a moment before saying, “For awakeners of this class to go to Hollywood, if they encounter real danger, there’s only one way out.”

Chen Ya also realized this and said, “Yes, wouldn’t that be setting them up for failure? How about this, don’t use spirit stones anymore. You find a group of criminals and set some restrictions on them. For example, implant a miniature bomb in their hearts or brains, let them protect this group on their way to Hollywood. If they truly face danger, they are criminals themselves, so it’s no loss if they die.”

Chu Han wondered, “But what about those people from the entertainment companies?”

Chen Ya replied calmly, “They are voluntarily risking their lives for their beliefs. With the crisis facing China so severe, people are dying in the mouths of beasts at any moment. They still want to go to Hollywood for some award ceremony, and they even have influential people pressuring me, forcing me to arrange people for them. Since they are so noble, willing to risk their lives for their beliefs and art, then they should bear all consequences themselves. I was thinking of spending some spirit stones to have you arrange a few low-class awakeners. But now, after what you said, I feel even the lives of low-class awakeners are precious. How can we sacrifice them? Just send those criminals instead!”

Chu Han took a sharp breath and said, “Wouldn’t this be too ruthless? What if they use public opinion against you afterwards?”

Chen Ya smiled, “What is there to fear? If they come back alive, it means they didn’t encounter danger. How can they attack me? If they can’t come back alive, they won’t even have a chance to speak. What do I have to fear? It’s all their own fault!”

Listening to his wife’s words, Chu Han asked in surprise, “Why are you so resentful today? Is it because of the attitude of those people from the entertainment company?”

Chen Ya replied coldly, “Not really. It’s just that before they arrived, I had just met Ye Xuan. Since the casualties from last month were announced, Ye Xuan has been diligently cultivating, spending every day in the advanced Gravity Chamber with Su Mengli, looking somewhat obsessed, pushing himself hard in training. He deeply feels that his strength is insufficient, burdening himself too heavily. The younger generation of China is working so hard, and then what? A mysterious entertainment company came to me, asking me to arrange talented awakeners to escort them to Hollywood for an award ceremony, and they even had influential people pressuring me. Do you think I could be happy? They are worthy of having geniuses escorting them? Just directly arrange death row inmates, implant miniature bombs in their brains, and send them off.”

Chu Han knew his wife’s temperament, how she detested evil and cherished what she liked, showing great care. With a good family background and being an SS-class awakener herself, Chu Han had always indulged her since they got married. So, even now, she was still a bit willful, like in her teenage years, enjoying throwing tantrums.

Although Chu Han felt that Chen Ya’s actions were somewhat excessive, he didn’t want to provoke his wife over some Star Sea Entertainment Company matter. After all, his old rival Fang Zonghua was still around. If he and his wife quarreled over this and gave Fang Zonghua an opportunity, it would not be worth it.

Therefore, Chu Han assured, “Alright, leave this matter to me. Isn’t it just finding a few cannon fodders who won’t be missed if they die? It’s completely fine.”

After hearing her husband’s words, Chen Ya hung up the phone, feeling a bit more at ease. In the following two days, thanks to Chen Ya’s guidance, Ye Xuan reduced the frequency of his training. Soon, it was the day for the people from Star Sea Entertainment Company to depart.

Accompanied by several men and women in awakener academy uniforms, Chen Ya arrived in front of Li Yan. Behind Li Yan were the people from Star Sea Entertainment Company. Apart from the director who was older, the rest were all handsome men and beautiful women, all above the average in terms of looks.

Then, Chen Ya said, “Everyone, although international flights have resumed, accidents are still inevitable. I hope you have a safe journey. These are the geniuses from the Awakener Academy. They will ensure your safety.”

As Chen Ya’s words fell, the beautiful women all turned their eyes to these individuals. A fairly well-known female star asked, “Why haven’t I seen any of them? Where is Ye Xuan? Long Hanjie?”

Chen Ya glanced at this bombshell of a female star and cursed in her mind, “What nonsense are you thinking?” She then said, “They all have their own missions and it’s not convenient for them to go to Hollywood. However, these people are all geniuses. Their talents are all above S-class, enough to ensure your safety.”

These people were awakeners and criminals recruited by Long Hanjie, ranging from C to B class, with varying awakening abilities but strong tempers. Some would resort to murder over minor conflicts, while others, after gaining abilities, would directly engage in robbery and killing.

After being caught, most of them were not sentenced to death immediately. Some received sentences of over ten years, while others were sent to Awakener Research Institutes to participate in research work. This time, miniature bombs were implanted in their heads. If they died during this mission, it would be the end, but if they survived, they could reduce their sentence by more than five years.

They were somewhat reluctant, knowing the dangers outside. The journey to Hollywood was long, with too much uncertainty. Hence, they all wore troubled expressions.

Upon hearing Chen Ya’s words, several beautiful female stars immediately looked at these awakeners with shining eyes. Though these awakeners may not look good or have good temperament, they had strength. The women had already realized that times had changed. Strength was more important than anything else. If they could attach themselves to a powerful awakener boyfriend, they could ascend to a higher status and become wealthy ladies in the future.

Therefore, they all stepped forward, actively linking arms with these “geniuses,” showing off their charm.
