Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 448 - 203: Really Accurate in Judging People

Hearing the indifference in Wayne’s words, Lady Sola was not bothered, as this was precisely the purpose of her visit.

Whether by persuasion or by guidance, she came to give Wayne a piece of her mind and urge him to return to the radio and continue shining for Frank.

"Indeed, calling you Wayne now does seem a bit inappropriate. It would be more fitting to call you superstar George." Lady Sola said with an unchanging smile.

George was the character played by Wayne in the King Kong movie. Due to changes in his role, he pushed the original secondary male lead aside and even made the primary male lead, the great ape, lose his shine. He and Lily, who played the female lead Fiona, were named the screen couple of the year, sparking a significant trend-chasing fervor. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

On the streets, many couples would dress up as the screen image of the two, creating a trend of couple outfits.

Austin never intended to make money from this movie, but due to King Kong’s explosive success, he still made a substantial sum, albeit with tears.

And why the tears...

After all, he had personally crafted the Little Garbage Can into a persona of unwavering devotion. If he didn’t cry, should he have laughed instead?

Austin’s original intention was to maintain the family image and not allow the heir to appear as a fool blindly pursuing love. Unexpectedly, several reshoots with stand-ins miraculously transformed the Little Garbage Can into a public heartthrob.

Every day he heard Megan report on the box office, Austin’s heart would race. Upon thinking about it more, he almost became so frustrated that he turned Monica into a Mediterranean.

It just goes to show that investments need to be made carefully, and outsiders should not casually step into the pitfall that is film.

Those who wanted to make money ended up losing badly, while those who didn’t intend to profit reaped a bountiful return and even gained stardom.

"Don’t mention being a superstar. People chase me wherever I go, and it’s very troubling."

Wayne sighed. He had always wanted to be a quiet handsome man and took the chance to say, "As you see, I’m so famous now. It’s not suitable for me to continue in my previous line of work. Why don’t we just forget it?"

"Wayne, once you’re part of the intelligence agency, you’re always part of the intelligence agency. I hope you can understand this." Lady Sola spoke earnestly, repeating the same words as Little Mustache.

Wayne’s Little Mustache syndrome flared up at those words, and he felt like calling the police to let Lady Sola taste Windsor’s baton education in prison.

Rolling his eyes, he said, "To be honest, I’m a big star now, with a bunch of social status, and I’m doing very well. There’s no need to go back to the days of constant fear and apprehension."

"So you betrayed Frank, betrayed your own beliefs?"

Lady Sola’s face was stern. "Wayne, you’ve let down your country, let down the training it provided you."

Are all you intelligence people trained by the same textbook, with no other lines?

Wayne complained internally, "Let me be blunt. Although Frank trained me, it never showed me the truth of the world, and it always treated me as cannon fodder. Lady Sola, do you know this? If not, you better go back and ask. When you do, you’ll make the same choice I did."

"Magic, huh?"

"You know about it?"

"I know a little."

Lady Sola, well-prepared, calmly continued, "Wayne, you’ve misunderstood. The intelligence agency didn’t tell you the truth for your own good. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have achieved what you have now; you would’ve been exposed by Windsor’s mages long ago."

As she spoke, she unleashed a barrage of PUA tactics on Wayne, discussing everything from the century-long friendship between the two countries to the terrible state of World War I, and attacked Windsor’s inhumane actions.

Wayne didn’t interject or argue back; it was all true—Windsor really was the root of all evil.

"You’re correct, but the true nature of the world isn’t just magic; it’s also capital!"

Wayne poured Lady Sola another cup of tea, "As you must have investigated before you came to me, I’m not only a big star, but I’ve also become the heir to the Tulip Family, with extravagant wealth awaiting me. Why would I have any reason to betray Windsor?"

Lady Sola took the cup of tea but didn’t drink it, placing it directly on the table: "It’s precisely because such extravagant wealth awaits you that you should be more inclined to help your country, Wayne. Don’t you realize how many people are envious of your current situation? For your sake, the higher-ups are at each other’s throats."

"Nagging again."

"As a senior agent of Frank, you obtained a social status in Windsor and forgot the mission you carry. It’s been a long time since you last contacted headquarters, causing quite some dissatisfaction."

Lady Sola started with a reprimand before suggesting, "The leadership values talent and expressly ordered me to make contact with you. As long as you remember your past mission, all the dissatisfaction will be quelled."

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, I am helping you."

Lady Sola earnestly said, "You’ve been blinded by power and money and forgotten your true identity, which is extremely dangerous."

"If it comes to it, I’ll face the consequences. You can’t scare me that easily."

"Wayne, those who have experienced the peak can’t withstand the valleys. Don’t be too harsh on yourself."

Lady Sola was very articulate and had a solid grasp of psychology. Each of her words was from Wayne’s perspective: "The leadership takes you very seriously, knowing you are a loyal agent. With your current and future status, they would not allow anyone to reveal your identity..."

She went on at length about the intelligence agency’s appreciation for Wayne, soothing his apprehensions and indicating her good intentions.

"You can rest assured, all your information has been sealed, and nobody knows you’re from Frank. Windsor can’t find out either. Right now, you’re the safest agent in the God-chosen Continent."

"..."

Lady, I’ve already been exposed over here!

Because of the comparison with peers, Windsor’s intelligence capabilities suddenly seemed much more competent in Wayne’s eyes.

He didn’t interrupt and continued to listen to Lady Sola speak.

"Even if you’re willing to give up your current identity and status, the intelligence agency would not agree, so don’t worry about being betrayed by your own people."
