"Why? I treated you like a brother..." Lin Yi's voice was hoarse. Each word made his throat feel as if it were being cut by a knife. The pain wasn't only physical; it was the sting of betrayal deep in his heart. Wang Meng gave a cold snort, greed and indifference in his eyes. "You're too dazzling. You got in other people's way, and you got in the way of my money. The entertainment industry changes too fast. Only when you fall can I raise a new cash cow. Look at you now, you're insanely popular and think you can do whatever you want. How could you still care about me, your agent? I've done so much for you, but how much have I gotten in return?" As he spoke, he crouched down and watched the light fade from Lin Yi's eyes. A cruel smile curled his lips. "Don't worry. Your resources will soon be mine. Those brands and producers will have to do what I say. After all, in this industry, artists are products. As long as I can control public opinion and manipulate the buzz, it doesn't matter who I make famous, does it?"
Lin Yi felt the world spin around him, and his consciousness slowly blurred. As he closed his eyes, he swore to himself that if he could start over, he would make everyone who betrayed him pay dearly. He would take back everything that belonged to him and climb to the very top again, making the entire entertainment industry tremble because of him.
