Chapter 276 - Final Scene Frenzy

It was an unusually bustling afternoon in the office of Chaos Corporation, especially in Barton's room. The news that Talon's film project was nearing completion had spread rapidly, and Barton, eager to keep track of expenses, had urgently summoned his assistant to provide a detailed financial report. As the assistant handed over the data, Barton could scarcely hide his shock and dismay.

"Am I seeing this correctly? Why is the expense so exorbitant?" Barton exclaimed. "I am the sponsor, yes, but that doesn't mean Talon gets to treat me like an endless source of funds!"

"Sir, if I may—" the assistant began.

"Send a message to Talon right away! Inform him that I will no longer grant him full authority over financial decisions. This madness will bankrupt me! It's absolutely out of control."
