America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz

```

Coming out of the Lincoln Memorial, Martin's phone chimed with a text message alert, and he took it out to see a message from Lily.

"Another reporter has been asking me for information about you, seems like they're digging for dirt, from the 'World News Report,'" she wrote. "You'll have to give me something in return, or I'll spill all your secrets, like with Elena ..."

Martin replied with a message: "Got it."

At this time, Bruce approached from the side, holding his cell phone as well, and asked, "Ivan said that lately reporters have been snooping around the club looking for news about you, trying to dig up your dirty deeds like murder and arson."

"I got a message too," Martin said, shaking his phone, sighing heavily, "Why do people always try to sully their heroes?"

He asked, "Which newspaper's reporters?"

Bruce replied, "Ivan had someone look into it, World News Report."

The same one Lily mentioned, Martin found the name familiar, and it sounded intimidating.

Martin thought for a moment, then asked, "Where is this newspaper based?"

Bruce had some knowledge, "The weekend edition of The Sun." He specifically warned, "The Sun is particularly adept at digging up people's privacy, with quite low standards."

Martin nodded, "Tell those two to watch their backs more carefully."

"You're about to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom; your fame and influence will rise another notch." Bruce took out his phone and sent a message, saying from a professional perspective, "If you take a dive from your pedestal right now, buddy, the news impact would be absolutely explosive."

Martin suddenly stopped walking and said, "Something feels off to me." He turned around and left, "Let's go back to the hotel."

Bruce followed, "Some jerk trying to mess with you again?"

"Can you not use a more elegant term?" Martin complained, but what he was thinking about was not what Bruce had mentioned.

The names of The Sun and World News Report circled in Martin's head, reminding him of some vague memories, it seemed the latter had resorted to many dishonorable methods to obtain news.

Once in the car, Martin said a few words to Bruce.

Back in the hotel on the 12th floor, they entered the suite, and Bruce pulled out a special infrared device, thoroughly checking all the rooms, and said, "All clear for now."

Martin said, "Don't let your guard down, think about Atlanta."

Bruce opened his suitcase, took out a laptop, found a place to hide it, and then set up two small cameras to capture the entrance door, covering almost the entire living room.

Afterward, he camouflaged them so they were not easily discoverable unless scrutinized carefully.

Martin felt a sense of security again.

...

In the hotel lobby, Alex, White, and Albert completed their check-in and took the elevator to the 11th floor together.

They had caused trouble here before and knew the hotel layout well. They checked the fire escape after getting out of the elevator and then entered their room.

"Boss, Martin Davis is staying right above us on the 12th floor." White, who had done his homework said, "Suite 1206, with one male companion."

Alex glanced at the time, "Make a call, get someone over."

After White made a call, it wasn't long before there was a knock from outside the room door, and a hotel staff member entered the room.

"Hey, Wolf," Alex went up to shake his hand, "Big business comes knocking again."

Wolf had collaborated with them more than once, "Who's the target this time?" He then realized belatedly, "The recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom?"

Alex countered, "Afraid? Relax, not Greenspan, the Hollywood star Martin Davis."

Wolf relaxed a little, "Not today, he showed up after noon, came back over two hours ago, and hasn't gone out since."

White asked, "Found himself a woman?"

"No," Wolf knew what they wanted to know, "I heard the lobby manager say he exchanged contact details with Kate, a reporter from the Washington News Report. That woman, you should have heard of her, a famous news socialite, quite loose with her belt."

Alex understood the implication, "Good! If Kate goes up to the 12th floor, notify us immediately." He made a point to say, "Wolf, the payment for this time won't be less than the last. Find a way to get us into Martin's room."

Wolf said, "It's going to be difficult today; he probably won't go out. The best chance is tomorrow morning when Martin goes to the White House for the Independence Day celebration. The hotel will also be focused on the Independence Day event. Besides, those awardees from previous years, they always return quite exhilarated, and make a lot of unseemly actions."

Alex nodded, "Keep in touch if anything comes up."

Wolf left shortly after.

Alex then told White, "We have professional integrity; we can't just make stuff up. There are high-class call girls here, right? Contact the agency to prepare a top-notch one. If Martin and Kate don't do anything, we'll craft a big story ourselves."

White and Albert saw no problem with that; they worked for World News Report and their job was to be creative.

July 4th, Independence Day in America. Find hidden gems at m-vl-em-pyr

On this day, Washington will host various celebrations, with the White House's South Lawn Independence Day celebration being the most watched.

At eight-thirty in the morning, the four brothers and sisters from the Carter Family finished breakfast and sat together in their new home's living room, waiting for the live broadcast of the celebration.

In another nearby community, Justin, despite being on holiday, still couldn't leave work behind. He called over to the Washington branch office, asking them to get the corresponding Coke and gifts ready. After the award ceremony, they would dispatch someone to deliver them to the hotel where Martin was staying.
