Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 379 - 330: Earn 160 Million US Dollars in Half a Year

After chatting briefly with Monica Bellucci and her husband at the café, Link and Marion stood up to say their goodbyes and left.

Having finished his parts in "Midnight in Paris," his work in Paris was done, and he was about to head back to the United States, not expecting to see them again for two to three, or maybe three to four months.

Not wanting to waste time outside, they bought some fruits and flowers at the market and then returned together to Marion’s apartment by the Seine River.

After a quick meal, the two cuddled on the balcony, watching the Seine River outside the window, chatting, tasting red wine, ML, delving deep into the soul as if it was the last time in their lives.

By four in the afternoon, Link kissed the still-sleeping Marion, left a note, put on his hat, and left her apartment.

"Boss, Mandy just sent a message, you might need to know about it."

In the car, Ms. Anna said, holding her work bag.

"Go ahead, I’m listening,"

Link said, as he looked through the unread messages on his phone.

"Since yesterday, a lot of media in the United States have been hyping up news that you’re a Playboy, claiming you’re toying with women’s emotions and bodies. They’ve even pulled up last year’s interview with Amber Heard to prove you have issues with abusing women,"

Anna glanced at the file, which had the words ’pervert’ and ’addiction’ written on it, but out of respect for Link, she did not say them out loud.

"Are many media outlets saying that?"

"Only small tabloids or minor news websites with a circulation under a hundred thousand,"

"This is defamation, what does the legal department say?"

"The legal department is gathering evidence to sue the media outlets that are infringing on your reputation rights,"

"Did they find out who is targeting me?"

"It’s sudden, the company is still investigating, but there are two guesses,"

Ms. Anna said.

The first guess is related to Jay-Z and his people.

While the media was hyping up that Link is a Playboy, some media and musicians also accused him of not being an authentic singer, saying his albums sell well due to hype rather than quality.

They also compared his new albums "The Woman I Love," "Keep On Movin’," and "The Fighter" against Eminem’s new album "Recovery," praising Eminem’s album and belittling the artistic level of these three albums.

"How have the sales been for ’Recovery’ these past few days?"

"It released three days ago, and the nationwide sales are 357,000 copies, which is pretty good. They expect to hit 800,000 copies by the end of the week, and probably that’s the reason they want to pit Eminem’s new album against yours,"

Anna explained.

"This isn’t likely related to Eminem, he’s hardcore and doesn’t like sidetracks. As for whether it’s Jay-Z, Kanye or others, let Scott and the public relations department look into it for now. No matter who wants to challenge me, I’ll take it on,"

Link said.

Anna nodded, thought for a moment and then said, "Second, it has to do with the Captain America casting. Right now, a lot of young male actors are eyeing this role, including Will Smith, Sam Worthington, Channing Tatum, Chris Evans and over forty others."

Recently, Marvel Entertainment announced the list of actors auditioning, and you were at the top. Many Marvel fans also think you are the most suitable to play Captain America, even creating a ’Best Choice for Captain America’ voting website, with 358,000 votes supporting you, 106,000 supporting Will Smith, while votes for other actors didn’t exceed ten thousand each.

The media also thinks that Marvel is more likely to choose you for Captain America.

Mandy thinks that rival agents might also try to tarnish your reputation, as Captain America is known to be faithful, unlike the Playboy that is Iron Man,"

Link considered this possibility, but he wasn’t concerned, regarding the role of Captain America, his thought was, if he got it he would play it, if not, no loss.

He told Anna, regardless of who was targeting him, to prepare well for public relations. He did not care about the Playboy stigma, did not care if people said he sold albums by hype, and didn’t care about the role of Captain America, but he would never tolerate defamation.

"Understood!" Stay updated with novelbuddy

Ms. Anna nodded.

After returning to New York, Link ignored the negative media and continued his training in the boxing ring.

He participated in two boxing matches on the 15th and 18th, both WBC and WBA Super Middleweight championship challenges.

The WBC championship challenge took place at the Tokyo Dome in Japan, his opponent was the WBC Americas champion nicknamed ’Ghost Dog’, Alan Green, also qualified to participate in the Super Six tournament.

On that day, the Tokyo Dome was filled with 48,000 Japanese spectators.

Link took 86 seconds to cleanly knock out his opponent, causing a huge sensation at the venue, with many spectators shouting ’Incredible! Link is incredible!’

The match was co-hosted by the WBC Japan branch, Japan Professional Boxing Association (JPBA), and the Joint Stock Association, and Link’s appearance fee was 32 million US Dollars, not participating in the pay-per-view, ticket, or advertising revenue sharing.

After the match, the organizers enthusiastically arranged for eight women to help him shower.

Link immediately declined, he liked Japanese girls but preferred to charm them himself, and not to have them delivered to his doorstep.

Besides, many media were defaming him as a Playboy, and doing such a thing in Tokyo at this time was like giving ammo to the media. He did not believe the organizers would keep it a secret.

On the 18th, he led his team to Dubai in the Middle East to participate in the WBA championship challenge, his opponent was the Denmark champion Mikkel Kessler.

This was their second battle, attracting lots of boxing fans’ attention.
