From Thug to Idol: Transmigrating to a Survival Show

Chapter 956: The Briefcase's Rightful Owner



"Where are you taking me?" Lena asked as she entered Marcus' car with June.

Before he knew it, Marcus had become their driver for matters like this. It wasn't like the big guy was complaining. He actually considered it as an enjoyable side mission!

"Don't worry," June said, putting on some sunglasses. "It's not far from here."

Lena suspiciously looked at him. "Why are you so covered up at night? And why are you wearing such fancy clothes?"

June looked at his get-up in the mirror and leaned against his seat.

"Well, I can't be seen with you, so I have to cover up really well. These clothes are from Jay. I can't even go out with my own get-up anymore because people recognize me.'

Lena shook her head and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Then, she looked out of the window, where the view had become increasingly familiar.

Like June said, it didn't take long before they arrived.

"We're here, June," Marcus said as he parked the car right outside of the property.

June smiled. "Thanks, Marcus. We won't be long. You can wait in the car."

Marcus nodded as the two of them went out.

Lena looked at the place with narrowed eyes. Her movements were slow as she followed after June.

June turned around for a moment and sighed. "Are you coming or not?"

Lena couldn't shake off her frown. "What are we even doing here?"

June smirked. "Does this place look familiar?"

"Of course," Lena muttered. "My mom lived here for a long time. How can it not be familiar?"

June hummed and turned on the flashlight of his phone, looking for a familiar spot.

Most of the apartment building had been demolished, but the surrounding structures were still intact.

"Where is that again?" he muttered.

"There it is," he smiled.

Lena impatiently clicked her tongue. "What are you looking for?"

"The item I'm talking about," June deadpanned as he stood over the newly-cemented lot.

Lena continued to frown as she tried to understand the situation.

"Has Mr. Klin left you anything before he died?"

Lena's expression softened when he mentioned her father. She placed her hand under her chin before shaking her head.

"Well, aside from the obvious-which is Phoenix, he didn't leave me with anything else. I don't think he even had the time to make a will because he died so suddenly."

"Hmm," June hummed. "So, you really have no idea, huh?"

Lena's brows furrowed in confusion. "Why?" she asked. "Did he leave you something?"

"Not necessarily," June answered. "However, he left something in this world. I think it was for you, but he never got around to giving it."

"Fortunately, I was the one who found it."

Lena's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Well, what is it?"

"You said that Mr. Klin was the most interested in Phoenix Entertainment, right?" June started off.

Lena nodded.

"I can tell that the old man has a lot of interest in the entertainment industry. I believe he wanted Phoenix Entertainment to succeed even after he died."

"So, he gathered information-dirt-against other big entertainment companies starting from when they were created."

Lena's eyes widened even more-if that was even possible.

"What?" she exclaimed. "H-how? What do you mean?"

"It's exactly what I've said. Well, it doesn't have any dirt on Lei since he's new to the scene, but for Topstar, Esteem, you name it. We have the secrets of the CEOS, the company, the employees in our hands."

Lena still couldn't believe it. There were times she resented her dad for passing the burden of Phoenix Entertainment without any guidance. However, here it was.

"So...you're telling me I can use this to topple other entertainment companies?" she muttered.

June chuckled and shook his head. "Now, you can look at it that way," he started off. "However, wouldn't K-pop feel monotonous once that happens?"

"What you can do, however, is change the industry. By having this information, you have leverage against the companies. You can basically ask them to do anything they want!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"So, blackmail?" Lena asked.

"Again," June continued. "I'm only an idol. I'm leaving this thing to you. However, if you need any help, I know a really good guy for blackmailing. He doesn't get caught, too," he suggested, his mind straying to Haruto.

"I see," Lena muttered. "I'm guessing you also want me to use this information to make those collaborating with Azure back out, right?"

"Exactly," June smiled. "And aside from that, this can be the catalyst of better treatment for their artists. Once their unfair terms would be exposed, they would have no choice but to

change them."

Lena looked at June with admiration. He was an idol who didn't only think about himself but also about the future of the incoming generations.

"I hope the hardships end with us," June continued. "The industry can't continue being like

this."

Lena smirked, crossing his arms in front of his chest. "Alright," she muttered. "I'll continue

to do as you say."

June smiled.

"So, where is it?" Lena asked.

June's smile widened even further.

"It's here," he vaguely said, causing Lena to raise one eyebrow. She looked around the area

and frowned.

"You kept it here? Are you insane? There's no wonder it's not around anymore!"

"Oh, trust me," June said. "It's here. I'm standing on top of it."

Lena's frown deepened as she looked at the ground. Then, it suddenly hit her.

Her eyes widened in shock before turning to June.

"You buried it here?" she exclaimed.

June nodded. "Yup! I thought I was going to die, so I didn't want it to go to evil hands. It's

much better for it to not be used than it being used for evil."

"I get it," she sighed. "But did you have to bury it here? Goodness, this is going to cost me more now," she muttered, massaging the bridge of her nose.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"I bought this land, you idiot," Lena deadpanned. "I was planning on expanding Phoenix Entertainment for next year, but it looks like I have to renovate it quickly."
