Maverick Wyatt had completely lost control of his bladder. He peed himself, right there on set.

Guess who smelled it first? Caleb Davis, naturally.

After pushing his martial arts training so hard these last few weeks, his senses—especially smell—had become razor-sharp, almost unnerving, honestly.

So yeah, he was the first to catch the distinctly foul, pungent stink rolling off Maverick Wyatt. His eyes narrowed instantly, and for a split second, he was genuinely shocked. Profoundly shocked, even.

See, he’d always thought that with the authentic, ingrained memories of the Grand Eunuch ‘Colt Cooper’ guiding him, his own performance of the vile character was unmatched. Like, nobody else in the whole country could touch his level of authenticity.

But holy cow, he never expected to meet a heavyweight like Maverick Wyatt.

This guy wasn't just acting the Eunuch; he was living the castration side effects!

Caleb Davis knew the grim history well, thanks to Colt Cooper’s memories. Eunuchs, those

  • Chapter 16: Perhaps You Should Tone It Down?

    Maverick Wyatt was honest with himself—at least internally. As an actor, he was completely useless.His skills? Non-existent. His work ethic? Lazy, bordering on hostile. He’d spent the entire first day of shooting, relying on his deep-pocketed sponsors, throwing his weight around, and basically treating the Director like a waiter.Honestly, the only thing he was focused on was figuring out the best way to get some private time with the female lead.But even a useless actor like him knew one thing: today’s catastrophe was not his fault!Caleb Davis was the one who went off-script and improvised a line, right? So why in the world was he the one getting the verbal beatdown?A storm of sheer outrage built up in his chest. He felt totally, unshakably justified. He figured that if the actual, in-the-flesh Emperor showed up to arbitrate, he’d still win the argument.The Director just stared at Maverick Wyatt’s stubborn, righteous pout, then let out a short, harsh laugh. “Are you a grade-A id

  • Chapter 15: The Grand Eunuch's Gaze

    Listen, as the lead actor, chosen by the big money people, Maverick Wyatt wasn’t exactly running the show. But slipping a few personal demands into the script? Yeah, that was definitely a perk he could afford.So, purely out of self-interest—you know how these stars are—he did this pretty petty, unreasonable thing: he changed the hero’s surname in the movie to Henry, just like his own.It’s a bold, kind of cheeky move, but I have to admit, it was effective.Since Wyatt is such a rare family name in their world, having the character and the actor share it gives a strong, powerful first impression to the audience. If he just managed to act halfway decently, people would forever connect his face with the great hero of the story.When Caleb Davis first spoke those words, “Great Hero Henry,” he was just doing his job, speaking as his character, the sinister eunuch Colt Cooper, to Maverick Wyatt’s heroic role.But Maverick Wyatt didn't hear the character. He heard himself being addressed. H

  • Chapter 14: Are You Kidding Me?

    Maverick Wyatt? Yeah, his arrogance just evaporated. Poof. All those tough words and grand plans he had about ambushing Caleb Davis? Gone. He was shaking, absolutely terrified, his whole being screaming at him to bolt, to just vanish into thin air.But his feet—those dead things—were like anchors of sheer, cold terror, frozen solid to the dirt.“Move! You absolute wastes of space! Just run!” He was screaming this internally at his own useless legs.Then he watched Caleb Davis start walking toward him, just casually strolling, and panic took over. Maverick Wyatt’s heart started hammering a desperate, frantic rhythm against his ribs. Since the kid was already eaten up by guilt and knew he was outmatched, he immediately assumed Caleb Davis was coming over to settle the score right now. To teach him a painful, unforgettable lesson for daring to stick his nose in.That psychological pressure finally did the trick. Maverick Wyatt’s feet came back to life.He didn’t hesitate. He just bolted,

  • Chapter 13: Caleb Davis's First Experience

    “Brother Caleb, hitting the practice hard again?”The voice was super familiar, catching Caleb Davis’s attention as it drifted in from a quiet corner. This was the one place the crazy set noise rarely reached.He looked over, honestly surprised to see James Jaxon walking up. Seriously? he thought, mentally rolling his eyes. I picked this spot for absolute privacy. How did the fight choreographer manage to track me down?Does this guy have literally nothing else to do?He answered smoothly, "Yeah, just finishing up my forms. Brother Jaxon, everything alright?"“Oh, not a big deal at all, just wandering around aimlessly and ran right into you,” James Jaxon declared, keeping his face totally straight. He was lying, of course, but he didn’t even blink.The truth? He had spent time tracking Caleb Davis's movements just to find this exact, secluded location. But that wasn't the important part of the conversation.The important part was:“Brother Caleb, are you busy right this second?” James

  • Chapter 12: The Wicked File the Complaint First

    Nine o'clock in the morning. Sharp.It was just another Tuesday—or whatever day it was. After his usual morning ritual—the intense martial arts session in the park—Caleb Davis headed home, did the quick brush-and-wash, and grabbed his street-vendor breakfast. Today, it was an egg pancake wrap, still warm. He practically flew toward the set.The crew was already rolling.I mean, total chaos. People were sprinting everywhere, dragging cables and yelling at each other, all under the Director’s frantic guidance. The whole place was buzzing, seriously loud.Caleb Davis snagged a decent spot, settled down, and started eating his wrap, watching the spectacle unfold. He looked perfectly relaxed, like he was just at the movies.But, you know how it is. Peace never lasts. Someone immediately decided to bother him.“Why didn’t you show up last night?”The voice, coming from his left, was sharp and had this completely overbearing tone—like she owned the air he was breathing.Caleb Davis stopped m
