“Cut!”
Donald walked up to Xaiden and patted his face. “Mr. Stone, how could you cry out? What you should be portraying is the protagonist's unyielding character, so even if it hurts like crazy when you fall, you shouldn't make a sound. Come on. Let's get back to your position and retake the scene.”
“F*ck you!” Exasperated, Xaiden raised his fist to punch Donald.
Unexpectedly, not only did Donald instantly grasp Xaiden's wrist, but he also gave the latter a hard slap across his face.
Xaiden's cheek immediately swelled up like a pig's head, and blood trickled down the corner of his mouth.
Donald looked at Xaiden and uttered calmly, “Mr. Stone, I'm a person who values fairness. Since you demanded Dragon Fide Corporation's artists to live up to your set of standards, then you'd better set an example for us first. You can either get your *ss back there and reshoot the scene until I'm satisfied, or I'll break your legs and send you straight to the hospital.”
“I would like to see who's the arrogant b*stard who dares to cause a commotion here in the Werner family's studio.”
Right after Donald finished his sentence, a young man's voice came from the entrance.
Xaiden reacted in a manner as if he had seen his savior when he laid his eyes on the newcomer. “Mr. Werner, help me! Mr. Werner, this Donald is trying to break my legs on set. He really doesn't respect you at all.”
Donald turned and saw a young man clad in a white suit with a beautiful woman beside him, striding toward them.
“Who are you?” Donald asked.
The woman beside the young man, Dory Huntington, glowered at Donald and replied, “Are you blind? How can you not recognize Mr. Janek Werner?”
Janek swaggered into the director's chair, gazing at Donald haughtily as he spoke. “You should count yourself fortunate to have the chance to collaborate with us, Werner Brothers Studios. What's the matter? Are artists nowadays so full of themselves, even daring to defy the director's orders?” He pointed at Donald and continued, “And you. How dare you hit my subordinate? Let go of him at once. Otherwise, I'll make you regret it.”
