Chapter 517 Tyler's Plan!
Next, Brandon honestly recounted the whole story to Ryder!
It all started a week ago!
Someone contacted Brandon online, asking for a favor and promising $50,000 upon completion!
Brandon's team wasn't t exactly rolling in cash, so they jumped at the chance.
The job? Spread ghost rumors about the Rigal District Stadium.
A few days later, they were told to flood Instagram and other platforms with ghost stories about the stadium, stirring up some buzz.
At first, people weren't buying it—total skepticism.
So, they teamed up with the stadium's security to stage a ghost sighting.
They decked out in ghost costumes and rigged up some spooky lights, filmed it, and tossed it online. It blew up—even caught the eye of NYC's official media.
To make it go viral, the client suggested they pull off a live ghost sighting tonight to really amp up the hype!
Everything was cruising along just fine—until Ryder and Rex busted them.
After recounting all this, Ryder squinted his eyes and asked, "Who hired you?"
Brandon hesitated and struggled for a moment, then finally sighed and answered, "His last name is Carter. His WhatsApp contact card says he's a manager at the Young Group! Quite impressive! I don't know anything else!"
"The Young Group?"
Ryder's eyes flickered as if he had thought of something!
At this moment, Brandon continued with a mournful face, "Sir! We really know we were wrong, please don't expose this. If the person who hired us finds out, not only do we lose the 50 grand, but we're done in the streaming industry!"
The other three friends also chimed in, pleading!
Sure, it was four against two—on paper, they had the upper hand.
But they knew better. Rex alone could wipe the floor with them. So, honesty was their only play!
Hearing this, Ryder smiled and said, "Since you've all confessed, it would be unreasonable for me to make things difficult for you! Besides, I really like the footage you shot. Not only will I not expose you, but I'll also reward you with $100,000! How about that?"
"What? Give us money! Did I hear that right?"
Brandon and the others widened their eyes in confusion!
They were dumbfounded!
Ryder continued, "You heard right, but after I give you the $100,000, you must agree to one thing, or I will still expose what happened tonight!"
Brandon nodded, "You say it, whatever you say goes!"
Ryder said, "After I let you go, act as if you never saw us tonight, and don't tell the security! Then report to Mr. Carter as usual, and continue to follow his instructions, but notify me first. Got it?"
"Got it! We'll definitely handle it properly!"
Ryder smiled with satisfaction, then took out his phone and transferred $100,000 to Brandon, also getting Brandon's contact information!
Receiving the $100,000, Brandon and his friends were very excited and repeatedly thanked Ryder!
Although he didn't know Ryder's identity or his purpose!
They didn't know who Ryder was or what his deal was, but the dude just dropped a hundred grand like it was nothing! Plus, the way he carried himself and his sharp thinking? Definitely not some small-time player!
Brandon figured if he could keep Ryder happy, he'd be set for life!
So, he was all in—whatever Ryder wanted, Brandon was ready to deliver!
As for Mr. Carter, betrayal was no big deal, he knew Mr. Carter was using him too!
Next, Ryder let them pack up and leave!
Ryder and Rex then climbed out from where they had entered and headed home.
It was almost 10 PM!
On the drive back, Rex couldn't help but gush, "Ryder, I'm seriously impressed. You cracked the case so quickly! I'd have been freaking out, thinking it was ghosts for real!"
Ryder gave a faint smirk, "Honestly, it was luck. We just happened to bump into them tonight—otherwise, we might've never caught them red-handed! But looks like the universe is on our side. We've got a pretty good idea of what the mastermind's up to. Now, we just need to figure out how to play this."
As he said this, Ryder narrowed his eyes, deep in thought.
At this moment, in a private club!
On a round bed in a private room!
Tyler had just climbed off a woman, panting heavily!
He drank a cup of tea, and his phone rang!
He answered!
A respectful voice came from the other side, "Mr. Young, mission accomplished. Those streamers nailed it tonight. The whole NYC media's buzzing about ghosts at the stadium. Flawless, just like you planned."
Tyler smirked, "Damn right. You know who you're talking to? Oh, and drop some cash to hire some trolls to flood the internet. Spread the word that the stadium's going commercial in two days, and it's haunted as hell. Who's gonna wanna spend money there? Make it sound terrifying—the scarier, the better."
"Got it, you're so clever! I'll get it done right away!" With that, Mr. Carter hung up the phone.
Tyler punched the air triumphantly and couldn't help but laugh, "Ryder, you think you're so great just because you won twice in Houston? Well, buckle up, 'cause you're about to see how the real game's played. Get ready to cry!"
At this moment, a naked woman hugged Tyler's arm from behind and pressed against him, saying coquettishly, "Mr. Young, what's making you so happy?"
Tyler deliberately grabbed her, "Don't ask what you shouldn't! Just be my mistress obediently!"
The woman pouted unhappily, "Mr. Young, you're being so distant with me! I'm not happy!"
Hearing this, Tyler kissed her on the face, "Don't be mad, I'm not being distant, it's just that you wouldn't get the business stuff. But trust me, in a few days, I'll be the talk of NYC! The Young family's gonna rise because of me!"
"Mr. Young, you're truly a young talent, I love you so much!"
Saying this, she pounced on Tyler, and soon they were entangled again.
