America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz

Since returning to Los Angeles, Malena Morgan, Mia Malkova, and Nicky had been waiting for Martin to contact them. To cater to Martin's interests and aesthetic, they spared no expense to learn Texas Hold'em poker at their own cost.

Michel also praised them highly, having paid the final payment and provided an additional deposit, asking them to lure Martin to their temporary residence.

But they never received a call from Martin.

The trio had taken Michel's money and naturally spent it.

Taking the money without doing the job could lead to huge trouble.

They had no choice but to take the initiative.

Martin's home was in Sunset Boulevard North District. They couldn't get in, so they could only stake out at Davis Studio, WMA, and Disney Studio.

Their luck wasn't great, and it wasn't until today that they finally caught sight of him.

Malena hurriedly got out of the car and rushed towards the entrance of WMA, waving and calling as she walked, "Martin, Martin..."

Mia and Nicky quickly followed.

The former thought for a moment, then deliberately slowed her pace. When Malena was close enough, she snapped a photo with her and Martin in the same background.

Martin had been quite busy lately and had forgotten about the three women.

He had always thought it was just an activity at Morgan Freeman's party.

But here they were, showing up at his door.

Martin did not hurry to get into his car, waiting for the three of them to approach before saying, "Long time no see."

With a smile, Malena said, "We've missed you a lot."

Martin asked, "Do you need something from me?"

Malena was momentarily at a loss for words.

Nicky quickly took over, "That day playing Texas Hold'em, the three of us lost the most. After we got back, we specifically learned Texas Hold'em and wanted to have another match with you."

Mia also suggested, "Martin, how about we find a place today to exchange our card-playing skills?"

Martin, who had no time to play cards with them, pointed at his car and declined politely, "I have to go."

Nicky was anxious as they had finally staked out their target, "After playing cards, we could play some other games..."

Remembering Martin's previous discussion about pole dancing, Malena added, "We found a room with a pole."

The trio's enthusiasm made Martin even warier. He had encountered traps set by women more than once.

There was a car horn honking nearby, and Mia appeared startled, dropping something onto the ground. She was facing Martin and quickly bent over to pick it up, her low-cut top falling forward, exposing a seemingly bottomless view.

Martin ignored it, gesturing with the hand behind his back to the security guards at the entrance to WMA.

Two security personnel immediately came over.

Martin opened the car door and got inside, but as the three women tried to persist, the security personnel stopped them.

Bruce pressed down on the accelerator, and the Escalade left the entrance of WMA.

The car quickly left Century City.

Bruce commented, "I feel like they were overly enthusiastic."

Martin knew a bit about the industry circle, "It seems that people in this line of work usually make contact with clients through agents or intermediary companies, and direct contact with clients is rare."

"I'll make a call." Bruce temporarily stopped the car at the roadside and called the bodyguards following them.

He had noticed the Chevrolet the three women arrived in.

After Bruce reported the license plate number, he promptly received an accurate reply – the Chevrolet had been parked at the WMA roadside parking space for a long time.

Martin said, "Clearly, they were waiting specifically for me." A thought struck him, "There are surveillance cameras at the main gates of Disney Studio and the studio. Have someone check them."

Bruce made two more calls.

By the time the Escalade returned to the Davis Estate, Bruce had received a precise response and told Martin, "That Chevrolet was also parked for a long time in front of the entrance to the Disney Studio and our studio, they must have been tailing you."

"They're ignoring the chance to make money and instead waiting for me?" Martin felt something was off, "Have Ivan look into these three women carefully."

Bruce went to fetch the women's photos, remembering their names, and then arranged to meet with Ivan that night.

......

Outside WMA, watching the disappearing Escalade, Mia, Malena, and Nicky were at a loss about what to do next.

They weren't particularly smart, their forte being the matters between men and women.

Seeing that they made no further moves, WMA's security lost interest in them.

Nicky asked, "What should we do now?"

"Let's not waste any more time here." Malena headed towards the Chevrolet parked on the roadside, "Let's get in the car and discuss."

Mia and Nicky followed her into the car.

Taking the driver's seat, Malena said, "Martin doesn't seem to be very interested in us."

Nicky was worried, "We took Michel's final payment and her second deposit, if she learns about our current situation, it's going to get messy."

Mia took out her phone and said, "I took a picture of Malena close to Martin. We can send it to Michel to show that we've made contact with Martin."

Malena thought it over, "That's probably the best we can do." She instructed, "Mia, email Michel."

Mia immediately accessed her email and sent the photo she had taken earlier to Michel.

Soon, Michel had replied, "You've done well. Can you bring him back to your residence tonight?"

All three of them came over to check the email.

After a brief discussion with her two companions, Mia responded, "Martin is quite busy, and a bit wary, but luckily we've had one encounter with him, so he has some trust in us. We will try to bring him back. It's best not to send anyone else over to disturb him."

The other side quickly replied, "Complete this step, and further gain his trust. Next time, bring him to the place I have prepared."

Mia responded, "Understood."

Nicky, curious, asked, "Go to the place Michel has prepared? Is there any difference?"

Malena, the eldest and most experienced, said, "Michel lures in big clients step by step, slowly dissipating their wariness before leading them into the setting she has arranged, and then filming a video..."

Mia was also aware of this.

Malena continued, "For big clients like Depp, Michel would even prepare special 'mental nourishment' for them."

Nicky, participating for the first time, said, "Wouldn't this cause problems? Martin Davis is a significant figure!"

Mia said, "Michel has the support of super big figures behind her."

Suddenly, Nicky remembered her homeland, Ukraine, and what the old folks there said about its situation, "Caught between two giants, it's always the little guy who ends up getting squashed."

Malena and Mia had not considered this kind of problem before, but now thinking about it, it seemed quite true.

The big clients are trapped, Michel makes big money, but they might end up being the scapegoats.

Malena shared, "One who joined the company with me hooked a wealthy stockbroker, and after he became a big client, although he enjoyed it, he didn't like the one who lured him in. He asked Michel for her past and crazily indulged in sadistic pleasures."

This was a very realistic problem. As long as the client offered a tempting price, Michel wouldn't treat them as human beings at all.

Nicky, reminded of rumors she had heard about her fellow countrywomen, said, "I do not want to become a miserable slave."

Malena worried, "Continuing like this isn't a solution either."

Mia had been considering what to do, and after a while, she said, "Because we performed brilliantly at Morgan Freeman's house last time, Michel now trusts us more. If we say we've managed Martin for the second time, she probably won't have much suspicion, and she might even settle the remaining payment with us."

Malena's eyes gleamed with the thought of US Dollars, "Getting that money wouldn't be bad at all."

Mia added, "Then it's the third step, having us lead Martin to the place she's rigged. Knowing her style, she'll pay an advance again, and that money will definitely be more than these two times."

Malena confirmed, "Yes, the money for the third time is the most."

Nicky asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Mia said, "After we get that money, we leave Los Angeles. Michel's influence is only in California. She's just a pimp, and America is so big, I don't believe she can find us."

After contemplating for a while, Malena said, "I'm in!"

Nicky agreed, "I approve. I don't want to be a doomed Ukrainian."

After discussing and making a decision, the Chevrolet soon left Century City.

......

This weekend, Martin rented a luxurious yacht and took Elizabeth Olsen out to sea, also extending invitations to a few friends.

Mene brought Celine Dion aboard.

Bruce came with Jody.

Chen Hu, Chad, Marcus, and Bradt also brought their own companions.

Jody, boarding the ship and seeing Celine Dion holding onto Mene's hand, was shocked and her mouth fell open.

Such earth-shattering gossip, and TMZ was completely oblivious.

Bruce warned her, "Right now, you are just Jody, my date, not the editor-in-chief of TMZ. No matter what you see, disregard it automatically."

Now the deputy editor of the world's largest gossip site and a Pulitzer Prize winner, Jody had long surpassed the phase of frantically searching for news to climb the ladder, and said, "I am now your girlfriend, unrelated to TMZ."

After the yacht left the harbor, everyone gathered in the banquet hall on the upper deck.

Jody also got to know the people in Bruce's social circle.

She was well aware that if she wanted to take her career and social status up a notch, she had to first shed her paparazzo mindset.

Martin raised his glass and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my weekend fishing party."

All raised their glasses in unison.

Afterward, Mene declared, "This time, I definitely want to catch a Jaws!"

Chad, opening his mouth wide, shouted, "It could swallow you in one gulp!"

Mene retorted, "No one in this world has appeared yet who could swallow Uncle Mene whole!"

Celine, standing beside him, challenged, "Oh, really? I can't swallow you either?"

"No, you're the exception," Mene said with a chuckle, "Celine, you could gobble me up alive and well."

Celine Dion, now fully integrated into Mene's social circle, was in high spirits and initiated a passionate kiss.

The others, having attended Mene and Celine Dion's parties in Los Angeles, were no longer surprised by this.

However, Jody was quite astonished, realizing just how formidable Mene was within Martin's circle of friends.

The cruise ship moved into the open sea, and Martin took out the fishing rods he had prepared earlier. The weather was still a bit chilly, so everyone could start with a bit of fishing, planning to go for a swim later in the afternoon.

In the distance, a smaller cruise ship steadily approached them.
