Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Link, noticing it was still early, took the opportunity to visit the Great Falls Bar mentioned by Ivanka, where he met the second person she had recommended.

A white rock singer named Orlando Nathan who had a good voice and good looks, but was thin and haggard, clearly an addict.

Link decided against signing him; the guy might be talented, but he was also trouble, and Link hated trouble.

——

Ding-dong! Ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong ding-dong!

"I'm coming, stop pressing it."

That morning, as he was training in the gym, he heard a series of urgent doorbell rings that made him guess it might be Selena.

Opening the door, indeed, it was the annoying Selena.

With a loose braid, wearing a blue printed dress, she was tiptoeing to reach the doorbell on the wall, her round face lit with an excited smile, and upon seeing him open the door, she even pouted in disappointment.

"How old are you to play such boring games?"

Link asked helplessly.

"Hmph!"

Selena wrinkled her nose with an I-can-do-whatever-I-want look.

"Selena, I gave you a key, why do you still ring the doorbell?"

Catherine and Mandy said as they approached from behind, carrying several bags of groceries.

Since Link was often not in New York, he had left them a set of keys so they could arrange someone to clean regularly.

Selena trotted over to take a bag, justifying herself confidently, "What if this big guy is at home and I suddenly open the door and he's not dressed? How awkward would that be?"

"What on earth do you think about all day?"

Mandy gave her a look.

Link chuckled and shook his head, taking a few of the bags and inviting everyone inside.

It was the weekend, and nobody had to work, so Catherine and Mandy said they'd come over to his place for a meal to cook him some delicious food, and Link was more than happy to agree.

Catherine and Mandy were busy cooking in the kitchen.

Link sat on the living room couch watching the news, while Selena, flipping her braid, bustled around the house, unable to settle down.

Link saw online that her fans called her the little princess, describing her as quiet, cute, very ladylike and extremely likable.

If her fans knew what she was really like behind the scenes, who knows if they'd turn from fans to haters.

"Link, do you know how to use all the equipment in the gym?"

Selena walked out of the gym clutching a pair of pink dumbbells, which belonged to Taylor, weighing twenty pounds each.

"Of course! Do you want to exercise? I suggest you try lifting a barbell and build up some muscles, so you can act in 'Charlie's Angels 3' someday,"

Link teased.

"No way! It's not pretty for a girl to have too many muscles, don't try to trick me."

Selena placed the dumbbells on his abdomen and grabbed a bag of chips, stuffing her mouth by the handful.

"We are about to eat."

Link grabbed them and placed them along with the dumbbells on the counter, earning a big eye-roll from Selena.

Selena picked up the remote and switched to the MTV music channel, where the top ten hot songs of April were playing their music videos.

There were Taylor's "You Belong With Me", Britney Spears's "Womanizer", Lady Gaga's "LoveGame", U2's "Where The Streets Have No Name", George Michael's "Freedom", Eminem's "We Made You", as well as Link's songs "Despacito" and "Unstoppable".

The filming location for Link's "Despacito" was in a Latin community in Los Angeles, featuring Latin dancers and several hot-bodied Latin models.

The dance was choreographed by Hollywood's top choreographer, Mr. Glenn Hanks, who was skilled in Latin dance, modern dance, and ballet and had been a choreographer for the "High School Musical" series.

This music video had an investment of over one million US dollars.

But after it was uploaded, fans generally felt that although this version of the music video was more artistic than the original, and the video and audio were clearer, it lacked the liveliness and fun of the original version.

It was also missing a major highlight, which was the curvaceous Miss Thomp.

One week after its release on YouTube, the video only garnered a little over 1.1 million views, a far cry from the original's 20 million views.

In comparison, "Unstoppable" received more favorable reviews.

The music video told the story of an underground boxer who never stopped swinging for his dreams, ultimately defeating an opponent whom everyone thought was unbeatable, and winning love.

Link himself starred as the male lead, while the female lead was played by supermodel Dawn Korlos, a stunning blonde.

Due to the high attractiveness of the male and female leads and the emotionally moving plot, the story was rated as one of the top ten hot MVs by MTV Channel in April.

"That's so fake, how could an underground boxer have such a beautiful girlfriend?"

Selena pouted as she spoke.

"Why not, don't forget he's a very handsome boxer,"

Link said.

Selena blinked her big eyes, curled one leg up on the sofa, turned her head, and shook his arm, "Link, you once told me you were a big playboy with several girlfriends, but I've only ever seen Taylor. Where are the rest? Is this Dawn Colossus one of them?"

"Of course not, she's Taylor's friend,"

Link shrugged his shoulders. During the shooting of this MV, Taylor specifically came to the set and watched them film the kissing scene. They had to shoot the scene four times before getting it right, and afterwards, Taylor teased him about doing it on purpose.

Link cried innocence— there was no way he could have done that on purpose, especially with Taylor staring right there; he wouldn't dare.

"Is it the busty chick Ivanka?"

Selena asked curiously.

"No!"

"Then who? Tell me quickly, I promise, I absolutely won't tell Taylor."

Selena said with her lips pursed and a serious expression.

"Are you sure you can keep a secret?"

"Really! I swear, now tell me,"

Selena shouted excitedly.

"Good, worthy to be my sister, we both excel at keeping secrets, so... I'm not telling you."

"You!"

Selena glared with wide eyes, her breath huffing, her expression that of someone irritated and waiting to be appeased.

Link flicked his finger lightly against her forehead.

Boom!

Selena suddenly exploded, screaming and flailing her hands as she lunged at him.

Link munched on an apple, casually extending three fingers to hold her forehead, keeping all her attempts at striking him at bay, two feet away.

Selena waved her fists and kicked but couldn't reach him; frustrated, she pouted even while eating, her cheeks puffed up like an inflated pufferfish.

"What's going on here?"

Catherine looked on with a smiling face at Selena who was bickering with Link.

"He's bullying me,"

Selena huffed.

Link smiled lightly, focusing on the Mediterranean delicacies on the table, which included mixed vegetable soup, Italian grilled lobster, barbecued beef shank, Zuppa Toscana, Pasta Millestroni, egg meat sauce, and ham pasta—a full table spread with a Mediterranean flavor.

The color, scent, and taste were all there; he simply had no time to talk.

"Link, won't eating all this affect your weight?"

Ms. Mandy asked.

"No, an extra two hours of training will burn it off,"

Link replied while eating the grilled lobster, his fingers greasy. Your adventure continues at empire

"If you like it, eat more,"

Catherine served him a bowl of clam soup.

Selena twisted her slender eyebrows, glanced at her mom and Catherine, "I just said Link was bullying me, aren't you going to ask him how?"

"Have your meal and stop talking so much,"

Ms. Mandy stuffed a shrimp into her mouth, "Even if Link bullied you, it's your own fault. You should reflect rather than making a fuss here."

Selena was stunned, pointing to her nose tip, thinking I'm the victim and I need to reflect? Is this really something a mother would say?

"This beef isn't bad either, you should try it,"

Link stuffed a piece of beef into her mouth, blocking what Selena was about to say.

Chewing on the fragrant shrimp and beef, Selena glared at him, determined to eat her fill first and find strength before seeking revenge on him later.
