Chapter 679 Targetting?
In the end, Hera and Zen arrived at the studio just behind Emily, where most of the cast and crew were already present—except for Xavier.
He was currently tied up with other commitments, but Director Nick didn’t mind. He fully understood Xavier’s packed schedule and was simply grateful that he had taken on the role.
With Xavier’s popularity guaranteed to bring strong results, all the director needed to do now was focus on delivering a high-quality film—one that would justify Xavier’s decision to reclaim the role from Wesley and ensure he had no regrets.
When Hera and the others arrived at the shoot location, she immediately noticed Director Nick wearing a deep scowl.
He was clearly unhappy with the rushed schedule, yet it was just as obvious that his hands were tied, forced to swallow his frustration.
Seeing this, Hera realized that Zen’s words were likely true—the investor was indeed pressuring the director to push forward hastily.
Hera was then ushered into the lead’s private lounge to change and have her makeup done.
While it wouldn’t be a glamorous, red-carpet-style makeover, there were still necessary alterations to be made—fake scratches on her face, blood mixed with dirt, and other details to enhance the realism.
Despite this, she still needed to look presentable on camera, maintaining a balance between gritty survival and striking appeal.
Since her and Xavier’s images would dominate the promotional posters, with the rest of the cast positioned in the background, her makeup had to be solid, clean, and convincingly realistic to capture the essence of someone fighting for their life.
Hera and Xavier would each have their own solo promotional covers, but they would also share a dynamic duo shot. In the image, Hera would be riding a motorcycle, her expression fierce and determined, while behind her, Xavier would be driving a jeep with one hand on the wheel and the other gripping a gun.
