CHAPTER 43: CHAPTER 43: THE MORE YOU WANT ME DEAD, THE MORE I WANT TO LIVE

Bryce Xavier snorted coldly and ignored her once she agreed.

She didn’t change into the character’s costume, just put on the wire harness. The staff beside her anxiously explained.

Actually, if she doesn’t make any moves and just gets hoisted up and down quietly, she won’t get hurt.

The earlier young man made mistakes and got injured because he needed to do a series of actions after going up and was afraid.

Although Director Xavier has a bit of a bad temper, he’s not a bad person and wouldn’t really joke about safety.

Bella Green didn’t hurry up but instead walked to the young man, smiling slightly.

Seeing Bella Green, who was about his age, the young man blushed suddenly: "He’s just messing with you on purpose, there’s no way you can do it well."

"I know." Bella Green replied with a smile, "But whether I do it well is up to me."

The young man was momentarily dazed by her confidence.

"Now, can you tell me about the scene you were just going to shoot?"

The young man frowned, looking at her with a gaze full of disbelief: "Miss, wire work isn’t as simple as you think, just stay up there for a while until the director cools off."

"I agreed not just to be hoisted up there to let him vent." Bella Green raised her eyebrows with a bold, arrogant smile.

The young man was momentarily stunned, inexplicably thinking, maybe she really could...

After hesitating for a moment, he explained the scene and actions to Bella Green.

"Hurry up and hoist her up." Bryce Xavier yelled.

The staff trotted over, looking at Bella Green, repeatedly confirming: "Are you really going up? Just apologize to Director Xavier, wire work isn’t as simple as you imagine."

"I’m ready." Bella Green smiled.

The staff saw her persistence and said no more, realizing there’s nothing more they could do about her boldness.

Soon, Bella Green was hoisted up.

Bryce Xavier sat in a chair, legs crossed, looking every bit like a rascal.

"Director, what’s going on? Why was she hoisted up? She’s not part of our crew, right?" The assistant director came over, surprised to see Bella Green slowly ascending in casual clothes.

"Hmph, that little brat dares laugh at me, let’s see if this scares him." Bryce Xavier spoke indignantly.

The assistant director was speechless, thinking, Boss, she still looks like a minor, is it really okay to take things so seriously? Isn’t this childish?

"Don’t overdo it, getting hurt would be bad, and it could affect the crew." The assistant director worriedly said.

Bryce Xavier waved his hand, clearly not wanting to listen.

At this moment, Bella Green had already been hoisted to two or three stories high.

Bryce Xavier looked at Bella Green and suddenly laughed, "Kid, how does it feel?"

Bella Green didn’t speak but closed her eyes, face tense, as if desperately controlling something, making people’s hearts race.

"Director, she..." The assistant director looked at Bella Green in disbelief, feeling as though he was seeing things.

"Hmm?" Seeing Bella Green’s reaction, Bryce Xavier was also stunned, putting away his smile and getting serious.

No one knew how long had passed when the ’young man’ dressed in modern clothes amidst the ancient set slowly opened his eyes.

What kind of eyes were those? Inky and pure, devoid of any impurities, with a deep, empty gaze staring into the unknown.

"Heh." A sinister, chilling laughter squeezed from deep within the throat, as if suppressing something: "The more you want me dead, the more I want to live."

The gaze slid and slowly turned in the direction of Bryce Xavier, the smile at the corner of the mouth growing more bloodthirsty and manic.

Being stared at with such eyes, Bryce Xavier inexplicably felt his hair stand on end, a tingling sensation down his spine...
