Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1117 Perfect For Stardom

It took a lot of effort, but Lux succeeded in convincing Luna to not miss the opportunity that was presented to her.

After being an Idol for many years, Luna had decided to try her hand at becoming an actress, which her manager, Hollie, was very enthusiastic about.

Because of this, the latter used her connections to pull strings that would allow Luna to join the crew of a Big Project, which was deemed to be the next Box Office Hit.

On the day of the interview, Lux accompanied her to make sure that she wouldn't get cold feet and run away.

Fortunately, she didn't have any intention of doing that.

However, there was still a problem.

Even if she didn't run away, she still had to gain the approval of the Producer, who was funding the movie entitled, Cantarella.

When Lux saw the title, he wondered if this was a wordplay for a certain fairytale, but after doing a bit of research, he found out that "Cantarella" was apparently a poison used to kill a Pope in the past.

It was a poison that left no trace behind. However, whether this was real or not, no one really knew.

The only certain thing was that the name of the poison existed until today.

"You made us wait for a day, Miss Luna," a woman, who seemed to be in her late thirties, said in a calm manner. "Usually, it's me making people wait and not the other way around. This is a first, and I have to admit, it doesn't sit well with me."

"I'm sorry, Miss Claudia," Luna apologized. "It will not happen again."

"As it should," Claudia replied. "But that still doesn't make me feel any better. Tell me one good reason why I shouldn't replace you and have another lady take your role?"

"Because I believe that I am perfect for the role of Mary Beth," Luna replied in a heartbeat. Her face was calm, and yet, a fierce glint of determination could be seen in her eyes.

"Oh?" the corner of Claudia's lips curled up into a smirk. "You think you are perfect for the role? I wonder where this confidence of yours is coming from."

Claudia then glanced at the man who was standing near the door behind Luna.

The latter was wearing a hood that covered his head and a face mask that covered half of his face.

The only thing that Claudia could see was his eyes, and from them, the Producer felt as if a lightning bolt had struck her body.

"Who is this person?" Claudia asked with interest. "Your bodyguard?"

"Y-Yes," Luna replied. "Something like that."

Well, it was true that Lux was technically her bodyguard for today since the Half-Elf wanted to make sure that she wouldn't run away from the interview.

Claudia eyed Lux from head to foot. Now that she was focusing more on the other person inside the room, she could feel charisma oozing out of his body.

Despite the fact that she couldn't see his face, she felt almost certain that the person was good-looking. Based on her years of experience, this was how good-looking people carried themselves.

"Show me your face," Claudia ordered. "If I like what I see, I might consider letting Luna keep her role. If not… then she will need to find a new Project to join.

Hearing her statement made Lux frown. However, since he didn't want to be the reason why Luna lost her role in the movie, he agreed to show his face to Claudia.

The reason why he had covered his face from the start was because he was too handsome.

This was what Luna told him, which made him chuckle.

However, ever since Lux had confessed that Aina, who was Luna's sister and had been reincarnated in Solais, was his lover, she decided to prevent him from womanizing on Earth and ordered him to cover his face.

This was her way of protecting her sister's interest and ensuring that Aina's lover didn't cheat on her.

Although it was a bit silly, Lux agreed to her demand. Since he didn't come to Earth to chase the skirt of girls, he thought that it wouldn't be bad to listen to his sister-in-law, who was only thinking about Aina's well-being.

The moment Claudia saw Lux's face, she immediately stood from her seat and approached him.

She then circled around the red-headed teenager and viewed him from different angles.

"This will work," Claudia muttered. "This will definitely work."

A few minutes later, the Producer took out her phone and made a call.

"Francesca, you no longer need to look for the Male Lead," Claudia stated. "I found him. Tell the cast to prepare for filming. We will start in four days."

The Producer then patted Lux's shoulder with a smile.

"Congratulations, you not only saved Luna's role, but you also got yourself a job," Claudia smiled. "What's your name?"

Lux blinked once then twice, as he looked at the mature beauty in front of him.

He was only there to help Luna land her role, but in the end, he also got cast to be part of the movie.

And the surprising part was that he got the Male Lead!

"Lux," Lux replied after a minute had passed.

"Lux?" Claudia smiled. "A good name. Perfect for stardom. Are you one of Hollie's talents?"

"No," Lux answered.

"A free agent? Then you should sign yourself a contract with Hollie. Since you are good friends with Luna, I won't try to poach you. But you better do your best to act properly. Her career depended on it, okay?"

Lux didn't know that he was being swept by the flow. But, in the end, he had no choice but to nod his head for Luna's sake.

"Great!" Claudia clapped her hand once. "Now, meet me in the venue in four days. Hollie will fill you up with the details. I'm a busy person, so see you later, Lux."

The mature beauty even gave Lux a wink before leaving the room.

When he was certain that she was truly gone, he looked at Luna, who was looking back at him with a look of disbelief in her eyes.

"What just happened?" Lux asked.

"You happened," Luna replied before shaking her head helplessly. "I'm pretty sure that before this day is over, Hollie will be smiling ear to ear once she learns about this development.

Luna was right.

When Hollie heard that Lux would become the Male Lead, she not only smiled from ear to ear but also laughed as well.

Two hours later, she made the Half-Elf sign a contract, making him part of the Rising Stars Company.

Although there were many twists and turns along the way, Lux was now going to become a star, which he definitely didn't sign up for after finding himself back on Earth.
