Chapter 501 Fakeout

• A message played clearly from the sound recorder pen after North pressed play. "You think I, Alex Road, won't be able to pay you? How much money do you want? Tell me, 20 million? Perhaps 200 million?" There was a moment of silence before the voice continued, "Getting the money? The more famous you are, the more money you rake in. I'm just that rich. So, how about it? Wanna do it with me? How about a fifty-fifty split, if you join hands with me?"
• Alex was completely gobsmacked after listening to the entire recording. He thought that he had been playing him, but in the end, he was the one being played.
• As though he already knew all about it beforehand, Eugene spoke up, uncaring that Alex was still there. "Although he isn't some famous person, the content is shocking enough. It should be able to bring in some money. Think of a headline that'll grab eyeballs."
