Christopher Carter's eyes bulged out: "Are you fucking kidding me??"

　　Manager Parker seemed to understand a bit and frowned, saying, "Mr. Thompson, I can understand your concerns. But this time, it's not your problem. Our Samsung Advertising Company will be the first to file the complaint."

　　Jessica Thompson was silent for a moment, then still shook her head and said, "Forget it. He got beaten up and learned his lesson."

　　Christopher Carter seemed to realize something and said coldly, "Worried that if the media follows up, it'll actually have a negative impact on your team?"

　　Jessica Thompson said nothing, tacitly agreeing.

　　Christopher Carter let out a breath, glancing sideways in Emily Green's direction. Emily Green was lowering her head, holding hands and speaking softly with a young T-ara member, seemingly being comforted. Christopher Carter gestured toward the T-ara side: "If it were them, would you make the same choice?"

　　The chubby Julia Thompson was also silent for a while, then said in a low voice, "President Carter, you might not know. Anti issues in the industry are very common, and making a fuss doesn't do any good."

　　So even if you T-ara girls are treated like this, you'd also choose to let it go? Christopher Carter couldn't quite understand. He had thought Apink was a new group and didn't want to stick their necks out and make enemies, but he didn't expect even the veteran, popular groups to be so timid—this was just fucking unreasonable...

　　Julia Thompson, knowing Christopher Carter didn't understand, added, "After all, there was no real harm done. Even if you file a complaint, it usually ends up unresolved, just a waste of energy, and you don't gain any favor with the public."

　　"So you just choose to be magnanimous?" Christopher Carter sneered. "If it were your family who got attacked, would you act like this?"

　　Julia Thompson and Jessica Thompson exchanged a glance and both said, "It's a different situation, President Carter. It's not that we lack compassion. If you don't believe us, ask them yourself—the answer will be the same."

　　"Is that so..." Christopher Carter strode forward and stood in front of Emily Green.

　　The young girl comforting Emily Green looked at him curiously and stepped back a little. Christopher Carter smiled at her: "You're about the same age, right? So you're the senior here..."

　　The girl smiled and said, "I've been debuted for almost three years now."

　　Emily Green glanced at Christopher Carter, hesitated, but still introduced him: "This is T-ara's senior, Jennifer Parker."

　　Hmm, Jennifer Parker. Christopher Carter made a mental note of the name, nodded, and said, "How do you want to deal with that guy? I want to hear Apink's own opinion."

　　The Apink girls looked at each other, all looking a bit dejected, and lowered their heads.

　　Paul Parker mumbled, "President Carter... we're really grateful for your help, but this... let's just forget it."

　　Christopher Carter pressed his lips together, staring at Emily Green. Emily Green lowered her head.

　　Christopher Carter turned to ask Jennifer Parker, "What if it were you?"

　　Jennifer Parker bit her lower lip and said nothing, head down.

　　Emily Green said softly, "Senior once... got cursed at so badly that she still doesn't dare to go online."

　　In other words, even then, nothing could be done to them...

　　Christopher Carter was a bit surprised, looking seriously at Jennifer Parker's still youthful face, staring for a long time until the girl blushed, and only then did he slowly look away.

　　Laughter came from behind. Christopher Carter turned abruptly and saw the Anti, still pinned to the ground by Kevin King, looking up smugly: "What, still not letting me go? Careful, I'll sue you!"

　　Great, now we have to worry about you suing me... Christopher Carter was so angry he actually laughed.

　　The T-ara girls turned away sadly. Outside, the MC was already announcing their names. They sighed, lined up, and headed out to perform.

　　The backstage area instantly emptied out. Seeing Christopher Carter laughing, the Anti said, "What? Not convinced? If you're not, you can sue me too..."

　　"Ha... hahaha..." Christopher Carter laughed harder and harder, until he was clutching his stomach, laughing out loud: "Hahahahahaha..."

　　Amid everyone's stunned expressions, Christopher Carter cheerfully walked up to the Anti, winked at him.

　　From outside came music very familiar to Christopher Carter. ""Loveydovey"" was being performed now, just like the countless nights Christopher Carter had spent in nightclubs.

　　The Anti was about to speak when suddenly a big foot kicked him hard in the face. He screamed, blood streaming from his nose and face.

　　Christopher Carter gave another heavy kick with a "bang," so hard that even Kevin King couldn't hold him down, sending the guy flying two meters. Before anyone could react, he strode over, stomped viciously, then stomped again. The Anti's screams echoed through the space, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

　　"Sue you?" Christopher Carter stomped hard on his face, twisting it forcefully, and said with a smile, "Idiot, I'm a gangster. If you've got the guts, fucking sue me!"

　　The Apink girls were still frozen in shock. Emily Green let out a soft sigh and covered her head.

Chapter 8: Between Black and White

　　"Look, look at me here~"

　　"Tonight's night is really woowoowoo~"

　　"Utterly terrifying."

　　"loveydoveydoveyohohohoh"

　　The singing drifted backstage line by line. Christopher Carter kept kicking the Anti, who was rolling on the ground in pain, unable even to moan anymore.
