Chapter 1569 - 1568: Assistance

The Crescent Group finds itself in this predicament entirely because Lu Yu has used media influence to guide public opinion, and now Lu Yu is ridiculing him. Such actions infuriate Umarov!

In his anger, Umarov feels the rage boiling within him. He suddenly realizes that public pressure is overwhelmingly against him. If this situation continues, he won't have any chance to catch a breath!

"Now!"

Thinking of this, Umarov speaks coldly: "I need someone to help me; otherwise, I won't be able to resist alone in this situation!"

While speaking, Umarov grabs the phone and, after dialing a number, says, "Dear Charlie, it's me, Umarov!"

"Oh, it's Mr. Umarov!"

As soon as the connection is made, a rich male voice comes through: "I saw the news tonight. Recently, your Crescent Group has been targeted!"

Charlie's words carry a hint of a smile, giving an incredibly composed impression.

"Charlie, I'm contacting you about this issue!"

Listening to Charlie, Umarov says, "My group is under watch from top to bottom. I need your assistance!"

Concise and direct, Umarov skips any pleasantries, saying, "With your popular talk show on the internet, I hope you can help me with media influence!"

Umarov explicitly states his intentions without any hesitation; for him, time equals life!

"Mr. Umarov, I can help you, but before I do, I have to ask you a question!"

Charlie's voice carries depth, sounding profound and giving an impression of contemplation.

"What question?"

Hearing this, Umarov asks, aware that he needs immediate help and has no time to waste.

"Are you sure you can get past this hurdle?"

Charlie asks, "The current online opinion is like a tidal wave; anyone who intervenes will be crushed. You want me to help you now, but I need some assurance!"

"After all, I'm just a small talk show host; I can't bear such public pressure alone!"

Charlie's voice is deep, giving an impression of thoughtful consideration.

The Crescent Group's media coverage is overwhelmingly negative. Without certainty, anyone stepping in risks being crushed by the tidal wave of public opinion!

So, Charlie seeks reassurance!

"Don't worry!"

Hearing this, Umarov grits his teeth and says, "Surely I can get through this; my backer is not someone who can be easily matched!"

Umarov's voice carries a hint of depth and seriousness.

"Can you reveal who this powerful person is, so I can also be prepared mentally?"

In this world, everyone watches out for themselves. Without absolute certainty, Charlie won't easily help Umarov!

That coward!

Hearing this, Umarov thinks internally, feeling incredibly annoyed and infuriated by Charlie's approach!

Yet, even so, Umarov has to compromise because he needs help from others!

Hiss!

Hearing this, Umarov takes a deep breath and says, "Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you!"

"My backer is Swift!"

Out of helplessness, Umarov reveals who supports him!

Hiss!

Upon this revelation, Charlie on the other end of the line gasps instantly and then says, "Are you serious? You mean Minister of Internal Affairs Swift?"

Charlie's voice trembles slightly as if he's witnessing something extremely exciting!

Indeed, such news is enough to make him feel thrilled and exuberant!

If he could connect with someone like Swift, his career would go beyond mere talk shows!

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Umarov says, "It's precisely the Minister of Internal Affairs!"

Out of helplessness, Umarov reveals his backing, sounding deep and unwilling in his words, truly feeling cornered.

But he has no choice!

Because if he doesn't do this now, he'll instantly lose Charlie's support!

"Great!"

Hearing this, Charlie's voice rises, saying, "I'll help, but you have to agree to one condition!"

Charlie's voice carries subtle playfulness, a clear sign of his intentions!

"I agree!"

Hearing this, Umarov agrees without hesitation, clearly understanding Charlie's thoughts and promptly complying!

"Wonderful! Mr. Umarov really is incredibly smart!"

After hearing Umarov's reply, Charlie says, "In that case, I'll start recording tonight's video right away. If all goes well, there'll be a change in the media situation tonight!"

Charlie's voice is deep, filled with confidence, as someone with great influence in the online talk show space can indeed buy Umarov some time!

"In that case, I leave it to you!"

Hearing this, Umarov says, holding the phone, his arm slightly trembling, knowing that he's on the losing side in this situation.

Charlie is exchanging an opportunity to contact Swift with what should have been an exposed video. This deal is truly advantageous for him!

"Don't worry, Mr. Umarov!"

Charlie says, his voice filled with a deep smile: "I'll produce this video carefully; you certainly won't feel you got a raw deal!"

Charlie's voice carries a hint of a smile, sounding somewhat sneaky.
