Director Clark was initially stunned, but once he came to his senses, his face showed an excited expression.
"That’s great! Who put in the good word?"
He asked, yet his gaze instinctively drifted towards Sebastian. After all, Sebastian was the young master of the Carew Family in the Capital Metropolitan; if anyone had the influence to communicate with the higher-ups, it had to be him.
Quincy Zimmerman didn’t know either, but he instinctively felt that it might be related to Master Jennings.
After all, Captain Fang had only received a phone call before backing off on taking Scarlett Jennings in to record her testimony.
He guessed that the Jennings Family had probably reached out to the higher-ups.
The two, each harboring their own thoughts, had the tacit understanding not to bring it up.
After the initial excitement, Director Clark quickly realized the practical problems.
"We can’t handle the first episode, with Dashiell Xalvadora being taken away, and the online audience still clamoring for answers. We need to provide an explanation and find someone else to replace Dashiell..."
After a discussion, they decided to issue an announcement explaining the interruption of today’s live broadcast.
Meanwhile, they divided their tasks. Director Clark would quickly edit the first episode, while Quincy would find another guest to fill Dashiell’s spot.
"While we have time, I’ll draft a script so our guest can film an ending for the first episode’s story."
As Director Clark muttered, Quincy tugged at the hem of his jacket beside him.
Taken aback by Quincy’s small gesture, Director Clark hurriedly retrieved his jacket hem and snapped, "If there’s something to say, say it!"
Quincy cleared his throat and said in a feigned serious tone, "No need for separate recording. I already had someone record when Scarlett Jennings confronted the old lady."
The material recorded in reality is much more authentic than a special recording.
Upon hearing this, Director Clark was visibly surprised once again, and they instantly pulled the cameraman aside to review the recorded content and its effects.
Though the first episode was a bust, as long as the show could be broadcast normally, the sensation created by the first episode’s commotion was bound to lead to another peak when the second episode aired.
Director Clark and Quincy huddled over in discussion.
Scarlett Jennings and the other four guests sat nearby on the sofa to rest.
Evander Simpson had been watching Scarlett from earlier. As a member of the Taoist Sect, he understood more than anyone that the ferocious fiend gathered in this house wasn’t as simple as Scarlett had made it seem.
The ferocious fiend gathered around the Wealth Pillar consisted of the resentful energy of children who died here alongside others who had perished unexpectedly. Even he couldn’t assure he could tackle this alone.
Yet, Scarlett accomplished it.
Evander felt that fellow student Scarlett was no ordinary person.
He thought for a moment, about to step forward for further inquiry, when suddenly a shout of surprise came from the side,
"Wow! The show’s life-saving bag turned out to be a talisman!"
The speaker was Ariel Zimmerman, who thought that since the first episode ended midway, the life-saving bag was probably useless and took the chance to open it while resting.
As she spoke, her hands deftly unfolded the talisman paper.
Initially, she assumed it was just talisman paper on the outside with some life-saving clue written inside, but it turned out to still be talisman paper.
"Evander, you’re a Taoist. Can you tell what kind of talisman this is?"
Upon hearing about the talisman paper in the brocade bag, Evander wasn’t particularly interested.
After all, he created these every day.
A hundred dollars apiece at Clear Breeze Temple, nothing much to look at.
