The Big Shot's Movie Star Wife Is Beautiful and Sassy

433  Chapter 383: Treason and Crime

After returning to their home country, both Kevin Clark and Daisy Zane had been busy.

Kevin was running between the Research Institute and Imperial Capital.

Daisy was either in Imperial Capital University's laboratory or discussing the script with Assistant.

They discussed a plot point that might not make it through review so much that their draft was almost worn out.

Within a week, they saw each other only twice.

After spending more than a week completing things at both institutions, Kevin finally managed to free up half a month.

Everything was settled that evening and he returned to the Rose Garden.

However, Daisy didn't come back.

Since he had handed over the Research Institute affairs, Daisy had become busy.

Daisy could have gone home that evening, but after being notified by Assistant, she couldn't leave.

Thus, Kevin didn't see her, but he decided not to go find her - instead, he called her.

"I have some matters to deal with and might be away from the country for more than half a month." Kevin said after chatting with Daisy for a while.

"Is it about the 319 project?" Daisy asked, her cell phone on another experimental table on speaker mode.

"It's something else." Kevin said, "It's not a big issue, but it'll take a longer time to deal with."

Daisy glanced at her experiment, which wouldn't be done anytime soon, and gave up on the idea of seeing him: "Hmm, take care."

"Alright." Kevin's voice held a smile, "By the time I return, you will probably be joining the drama crew."

"Probably."

When she first had a rough idea for the script, Daisy had discussed it with Assistant.

They completed all the preparatory work for production, costumes, and other aspects during the time she was writing the script.

Moreover, Georgia Dunn was cast as the male lead, and she was the female lead.

Apart from the boy Daisy found to record the show alongside her, the remaining supporting roles were all found by Assistant from previous colleagues.

Thus, they didn't have to go through the casting process.

Assistant put a lot of effort into the entire production, and they didn't use any newcomers for the cast.

This movie was intended to earn Daisy an award, so no aspects could be lacking - they needed refinement and precision.

As soon as Daisy's script was perfected, the subsequent matters would be handled swiftly.

"We'll meet at the drama crew then." Daisy said.

Kevin laughed: "Alright."

...

Without Daisy, Kevin flew to Mountain Sea Continent that night.

James Cooper and Thomas Firway greeted him at the airport. When they saw Kevin, they stretched their necks to look behind him, but didn't see anything.

Kevin saw their disappointed expressions after not seeing who they wanted to and gently clicked his tongue.

James withdrew his neck, and Thomas immediately lowered his head, taking the suitcase from Kevin's hand.

"Third Master, is something up? Why did you come so suddenly?" Thomas asked.

"Hmm." Kevin replied.

Thomas went to open the car door for him. Finally, when he started the car, he couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't Lady Zane come with you?"

Kevin looked at him.

That gaze made Thomas feel that if he said one more word, Kevin would cut off his tongue.

With their eyes meeting, Thomas dared not ask any further.

They remained silent all the way to Dark Radiance, and Thomas finally understood why the others missed his Third Brother so much.

With Daisy around, their pressure would be much lesser.

Kevin like this always made them feel like their lives were at risk at any moment.

When they arrived at Dark Radiance, both Yoshua Archer and Adrian Roberts were absent, so Kevin went back to his room first.

Until everyone was present. Kevin called them all to the meeting room.

In the large meeting room, everyone arrived.

Adrian, James, Thomas, Yoshua and Edward, 12 hall masters, and even several team leaders.

It was rare for so many people to be gathered for a meeting.

Before Kevin started speaking, they all looked at each other in anticipation.

Each one had the word "grave" etched on their faces.

What kind of major event demanded so many people?

Everyone held their breaths, but Kevin was calmly reporting his itinerary to Daisy.

He deliberately delayed his departure to send a message to Daisy.

So... his presence in Mountain Sea Continent wouldn't be exposed.

After completing the itinerary report, Kevin placed his phone on the table and looked at them, "It's not a big deal. I'm just informing everyone that Martin Hanzel has been found."

As soon as these words came out, both the informed and uninformed attendees opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

The informed were shocked because if he told everyone, the matter had to be dealt with publicly - but dealing with it publicly meant that Martin couldn't be spared from the Discipline Hall.

The uninformed were shocked upon learning Martin was found.

"It was my Lady."

After the uninformed attendees understood what he was saying, they were shocked to their core.

Their entire bodies felt numb, as if they had been electrocuted.

"Dark Radiance has rules. Those who break the rules must be punished." Kevin's calm voice conveyed an oppressive feeling, "Treason carries a penalty of 24 hours in the Discipline Hall."

"Big Boss." Adrian, who had finally come to his senses, said, "There's no need. Martin's current status doesn't constitute treason; the charge doesn't hold. What... punishment are you talking about?"

Edward also chimed in, "Yes, Big Boss. Although Martin is powerful, the Discipline Hall can maim or even kill him."

Only if the punishment was severe and threatened one's life would people be deterred from betraying the organization.

This was the intention behind the establishment of the punishment for treason.

"Rules aren't decorations." Kevin said solemnly, "She is my Lady. As husband and wife, we are one. In the Discipline Hall, I will take her place."

Now everyone was even more agitated.

"Third Master..."

"Big Boss..."

But Kevin glanced at them, causing them to hold their tongues.

He simply and quickly explained what had happened before saying, "That's it. Dismissed."

No one moved.

No one had ever been able to sway Kevin's decisions before.

What's more, this time he was setting an example for Dark Radiance's higher and lower-ranking members.

He was demonstrating that rules were rules and no one could break them - not even his own wife.

Rules were not decorations.

He knew that if he hadn't mentioned it, Yoshua and Edward would have helped cover it up for him.

But... he wanted everyone to genuinely submit and be treated equally.

Everyone couldn't say anything; they could only follow Kevin to the entrance of the Discipline Hall.

After Kevin entered, everyone stayed outside for a while longer.

"Third Master... will he be okay?"

"With Big Boss's skills... he should be fine for 24 hours."

"Let's get a doctor on standby anyway." Adrian thought for a moment before saying, "The Master of the Discipline Hall will stay here. The rest can return to their usual duties."

Everyone remained silent as they left...
