The Strongest Man in the Universe

The Strongest Man in the Universe
Chapter 127



Two more days passed, and now it was the weekend. David's still running around buying a mansion house. However, since there were no large purchases, the increase in luxury points was slow. It took less than ten billion dollars to go from 15 to 108 points in two days.


David tapped on the body mark again without hesitation. There were eight luxurious points after he finished, while his body reached an incredible level 4.


On his way back to the Starry Night Hotel, David noticed that the area was crowded. There were so many luxury cars in front of the entrance that there was almost no parking space left.


There was also a large crowd of people around the hotel. Many held signs and banners but were blocked by dozens of security guards.


‘Is this the fans?


Are any celebrities checking in to Starry Night Hotel?’


He could only park his car in an underground parking lot. David was stopped when he reached the main entrance. There used to be four female servants here, and now four security guards.


“Master, please show me your room card. No one is allowed in except the hotel's current guests" said one of the security guards.


David was about to speak when Lucille Yates saw him in the lobby and rushed over.


“Goodnight, Mr Lidell!”


Then Lucille turned to the security guard and said, “Master Lidell is a hotel VIP.”


“Lewat here, Mr. Lidell.” says Lucille.


David follows Lucille to the hotel lobby.


“What are you eating tonight, Mr Lidell? I'll get it ready for you!” Lucille said respectfully.


“Anything. Give me the usual. By the way, what's with the hotel tonight?” David asked casually.


“Mr Lidell, there is a director who is showing a new movie at our hotel tonight. He invited many celebrities and film investors to attend. I heard there was a small donation ceremony at the end. He filmed it in a very poor place, so he wanted to do his part to help the locals. The director is internationally famous.” said Lucille.


“Oh? I gotcha! Do I need an invitation to sign in?”


“I don't think so!”


“Well then, on what floor? I'll check it out later!”


“There is in the hall on the sixty floor.”


“Oke thank you!” david said and went upstairs.


Back in his room, David took a shower, changed his clothes, and was about to check out the premiere.


David admired people who were willing to help others with their influence. After all he was free, so he wanted to check it out and donate some money. Although giving a donation would not increase his luxury points, he wanted to help because after all he was wealthy.


He wanted to set up a charity fund or something but did not want to become famous. He had also been busy repairing himself lately so he had no energy to do so.


Once he is satisfied with his strength and East League International is stable, he will set up a charity fund on behalf of East League International and spend some money to help people in need. Money doesn't mean much to him now.


As soon as he reached the sixty floor of the hotel, he saw several beautiful female servants standing at the entrance of the hall. David's in. No one asked for an invitation, so he went straight into the hall.


The hall is huge. You could say it was the perfect place for this kind of lavish party. It was at least two-thirds larger than the party he attended in Lake City. The hall is also beautifully decorated. No wonder it is a premium ten star hotel.


There were many people around, maybe two or three hundred people, but the hall still seemed empty. David's arrival did not attract anyone's attention as everyone was busy chatting in their own circles.


David went to the food section, picked up the plate, and started filling it with food. After walking around all day, he was starving. He found a corner and enjoyed the food. The food at the party was pretty good.


He looked around the hall. There are many celebrities that David has only seen on TV before. However, there were two people she knew, Marie Kent, one of the four rising stars, as well as Empress Elsa Winters.


They met in Lake City. However, David had no intention of greeting them. After all, they are not familiar with each other. It was doubtful if they even remembered it.


Marie smiled and talked to the fat and bald investor. For outsiders, she is one of the four rising stars in the country and has a glamorous life. But only he knows the truth. He is nothing more than a toy for the capitalists.


He ended up bagging a big budget movie he had been preparing for a long time, but the so-called investor was upset that he was unwilling to sleep with her.


The investor pulled out of the project abruptly, and the director fired him. They tell him that the investor is withdrawing his investment indifferently because of him. If he cannot bring in new investments, he can forget about his career in the film industry.


In other words, if he fails to get new investors, he will be blacklisted. With the status of director, it would be easy to blacklist newcomers like him.


Therefore, even though he felt disgusted by the predatory gaze of investors, he still smiled and chatted with her.


Fortunately, there were many people here, and they were all important people. Otherwise, he would have been groped by now.


But he or she must meet the expectations of parents, mentors, managers, assistants, and studio staff. They all rely on him for a living. If he doesn't work or is blacklisted, they will lose their jobs, and his parents and mentors will be disappointed.


“Mr Wilson, the movie we are going to shoot this time has a good plot and a strong cast. You will make a lot of money from it.”


“Nona Kent, after all, this is a great investment. I have to go back and discuss it with the board of directors. Whatever happens next depends on your performance. Don't you think so?" Mr. Wilson said in broken English while looking at Marie lustfully.


He had long since lusted after the rising star. Now that he has a chance, he'll have fun with it. He was happy to think that he might be able to suppress himself on the beautiful petite body in front of him tonight.


“Mr Wilson, do you need to go back and discuss it? Everyone knows you are the one who decides in the company. No one dares to refute your opinion. I guarantee you will make a lot of money by investing in this movie.” Marie said, still smiling.


“Nona Kent! That's not how it works! I have to take responsibility for my shareholders, right? No investment is guaranteed to make money these days. There's risk! Would you come to me if it was a sure victory? Hows it? I really believe in you, but I have to think about it.”


‘Hhh!’


Marie breathed to herself. All investors are the same. In addition to making money, they also want other benefits.


It wasn't easy for someone without a background who didn't want to exchange his body for resources like himself to reach this point. But he ran out of ideas. Either he traded his body for investment or waited for himself to be blacklisted.


Even if he was going to swap his body, he should at least find someone younger and more handsome. Mr. Wilson was fat with a protruding belly, and also bald. He was old enough to be his father, and his small eyes would turn lustful whenever he saw a beautiful girl. He felt disgusted to sleep with someone like him. He would rather jump into the river.


“Come back and think about it!"


"Mr Wilson! I'll ask the others if they're interested. Goodbye bye!"


With that, Marie turned around and left. He doesn't want to waste any more time with Mr. Wilson. Since he could not change his fate, he could always choose someone more pleasing to the eye. Anyone who could enter this hall was a celebrity or investor, and he could always find a younger and more handsome man.


“Nona Kent! Miss Kent! I can invest more. Let's talk more!” Mr. Wilson quickly exclaimed, not expecting Marie to leave soon.


Marie ignored him.


Marie went around and talked to two younger, more handsome investors, but failed. They say their company has no plans to invest in such big-budget films.


After all, the proposed investment for the film was 300 million to 500 million dollars. It was real money, and not everyone could afford it. Some companies may look to have a market value of billions of dollars, but not many of them can take several billion dollars without disrupting their business operations.


“How are things, Marie?” A beautiful middle-aged woman walked over and asked.


That's Marie's manager, Hannah Clement. She was also the one who watched Marie graduate from school and get to where she is today.


Marie shook her head and said, “Not much progress, Hannah. How about you?”


“I too! Huff! There are very few companies that can afford these kinds of big budget movies, and we have talked to as many people as possible.” Hannah said with a sigh.


“Hannah! Do you think I only have one choice left? That's how the industry works now. They did not care about one's effort and acting skills. As long as that person was willing to sacrifice her body, anyone could become the female lead!” Marie said with red eyes.


“Ohh! Marie, don't think about it too much. We can stop if there is no other way. He thinks he's who made the blacklist of whoever he wants? I'll expose him if he blacklists you. At worst we will just try our hardest and fight it!” hannah said as she touched Marie's head.


Then, a voice reached their ears. “Nona Kent! I heard you need money for your movie.”


They followed the voice and saw a handsome face staring at them with a smile. David wanted to leave after getting something to eat and donating some money, but ever since the power of his mind penetrated, his eyes and ears became extremely sharp.


Marie and Hannah were not far from him when they spoke, so she overheard their conversation. They seem to be looking for investors. Does it not give away free luxury points?


It may not be much, but it all helps!


The investment in the film was also a way for him to meet with several directors and businessmen through Marie.


They could approach him whenever they needed investment, and he would earn a lot of luxurious points. Therefore, he came.


“Are you Mr Lidell?” Marie asked in surprise.


David looks more handsome and classy than the last time they met in Lake City, so Marie is a little unsure.


“Thank you didn't forget me, Miss Kent!” David smiled and said.


“Cannot be! You are my savior, Mr. Lidell. How could I forget you? You're getting good-looking, so I'm not sure.” Marie said as she blushed.


Hannah was also surprised to see David. His figure, appearance, and temperament were perfect. She had a smile on her face as she spoke, and it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.


He has been in the entertainment industry for many years and has met many brilliant young people, but none of them can match David. If he joined the entertainment industry, he could lure many women of all ages.
