America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 606 Another Leader

In a spacious apartment in Manhattan, the tall Taylor Swift was on the phone, and Karlie Kloss, who was a head taller than her, came over and put her ear to the other side of the phone.

Selena Gomez is short and got in between them.

There was also Cara Delevingne, a new acquaintance of the three, who came over curiously.

Taylor was helpless with her girlfriends and continued to say to Martin, "I saw in the newspaper that you came to New York for filming? I happen to be on vacation in New York, Carly and Selena are also here, and I have a new friend, Kara, who also wants to meet you. How about we have a party tomorrow night?"

Martin on the other side said, "No problem. I have an apartment on the Upper East Side. It's quite large, has good sound insulation, and faces Central Park."

Karlie Kloss poked Taylor, signaling her to agree quickly.

Taylor responded, "Okay, let's go to your apartment tomorrow night and have a wild party."

Martin said, "I'll send a car to pick you up at 6pm tomorrow." He then asked, "Do you have any special plans tonight?"

Taylor said: "Today is a girls' night, we are going to Central Park, there will be a show to enjoy."

Martin paused and said, "It seems to be not far from the Ritz-Carlton Hotel where I live."

"We're not going to look for you, tonight belongs to the girls," Taylor said again, deciding to end the call: "See you tomorrow night, Martin."

"See you tomorrow night."

Taylor hung up the phone and looked at his three friends.

Karlie Kloss said without hesitation: "I'll be there tomorrow night."

Selena Gomez replied, "You said last time that it can nourish your singing voice. I'm also releasing an album and I want to give it a try."

These girls, who have been in the entertainment industry since they were in their early teens, have seen too many messes and have become accustomed to them and don't take them seriously at all.

Taylor looked over at Cara Delevingne.

The latter said: "Martin Davis is my idol. I know Martin's ex-girlfriend Blake Lively. She once told me that the greatest achievement for a fan is to get together with his idol."

Taylor smiled and said, "Okay, we have made our happy decision!"

Karlie Kloss held Taylor's shoulders and said, "I also prepared a gift for Martin."

Selina asked curiously, "What gift?"

Carly dragged her suitcase over, opened it, took out a 30-centimeter-long cardboard box, and placed it between the four people: "A whole box of Durex."

Taylor said, "Okay, remember to bring it tomorrow." She picked up the bag and said, "Now let's go to Central Park."

The four of them went downstairs, got into the same car, and headed for Central Park.

Ritz Carlton Hotel.

After dinner, Lily came to the bar first. She ordered a glass of Penicillin and sat at a table, waiting for Martin and his men to come.

She took a sip of the golden wine and looked up at the background wall behind the bar. Behind the name of the creator of Penicillin was written - Louise Mayer.

But Lily knew that this wine was originally mixed by Martin.

Suddenly, a woman came over and said hello: "Hi, we meet again. Do you remember me?"

Lily looked up and found it was a blonde woman, whom she seemed to have seen somewhere.

The blonde woman sat directly across from her and said, "My name is Allison Mack. We met at Warner Studios, in front of the soundstage for Smallville."

Lily remembered: "You are the salesman who sold me some management course?"

Allison Mack smiled and said, "I didn't recognize you last time. You are Lily Carter, the young sculptor."

She reiterated: "It is not a management course but a spiritual cleansing course, making you purer and helping you achieve higher achievements in art."

Lily asked: "Purify your soul? I am a very pure girl, I don't need purification."

Before Alison could say anything else, she shooed them away: "Ma'am, my friend will be here shortly. Just stop here."

Alison said, "I won't bother you anymore."

Lily waved her hand casually.

Allison Mack left the bar lobby, but did not leave. Instead, she went upstairs to a private room.

Sitting in the private room was a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses. He looked gentle and elegant, like a knowledgeable professor.

Right at his feet, two women were kneeling, one holding a wine bottle and a wine glass in both hands, and the other holding a fruit plate.

They were like slaves in front of the middle-aged man.

Alison saluted respectfully: "Master."

Keith Lanier took one look at her and said, "You're late."

Alison raised her hand and slapped herself. She used so much force that her cheek swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lanier just looked at her quietly.

Alison then explained: "I met a girl down there. She is very suitable to be your slave, Master, and to leave your own mark in your private parts."

As she said the last sentence, she and the two people kneeling on the ground pulled down their pants at the same time. Just above the private part, there was a mark that was obviously branded with an iron. Those were the initials of Raniere's name.

Lanier stood up. "Where are the people?"

Alison led the way and came to the fence on the second floor where they could see the first floor lobby. She pointed at Lily who was alone and said, "That's her." Lily downstairs was going to the bar to get something.

From Lanier's perspective, Lily not only has a delicate and beautiful face and a tall and sexy figure, but also has a very special temperament.

“Who is she?” Lanier asked.

"Lily Carter." Allison, the slave girl, was eager to get the reward from her master and kept looking for new slave girls for Raniere.

She knew that the girl below would definitely arouse her master's interest: "A young sculptor."

Lanier looked at it for a while, and then confirmed that this was the one he liked the most. He returned to the private room and said as he walked, "No matter what method you use, bring her to the church headquarters. I will personally baptize her and purify her soul."

Alison followed and said, "Master, this girl is difficult to deal with. I plan to buy her works, use the opportunity of contact to build a good relationship with her, and then lead her into our sacred organization."

Lanier, who is also a famous cult leader in Los Angeles, said, "Okay, I will grant you a special grant of $50 to handle this matter. Don't let me down."

Alison was overjoyed: "Master, I will definitely satisfy you."

After returning to the private room and waiting for a short time, Catherine Oxenberg, who was with me this time, came over.

She is also a Hollywood actress and a well-known female producer.

Catherine Oxenberg brought a gift for the host, her daughter India Oxenberg.

Downstairs, Martin, Bruce and Mene entered the bar together and immediately saw the unusually conspicuous Lily.

The three of them walked over, pulled out a chair and sat down. Lily pushed the Penicillin cocktail she had only taken a sip of to Martin: "This cocktail tastes terrible. I'll give it to you."

Martin took a sip and remembered that this was Louise's favorite.

Mene asked Lily, "You are here alone, and no one bothers you?" He made a fighting gesture and said, "When I came in, I was ready to be a hero and save the beautiful girl."

Between Lily's fingers, a carving knife twisted and twirled like a butterfly: "I taught myself some medicine in order to practice human sculpture."

Mene understood what this meant and nodded repeatedly: "It will make people lose the ability to resist in an instant."

Lily suddenly remembered what happened just now and mentioned it casually: "Just now, a strange woman came over and asked me to take some course. She also said that she would help me cleanse my soul."

She snorted coldly and asked, "Have you ever seen a girl purer than me?"

Mene was the first to say, “No!”

Bruce, knowing this other side of Lily, said nothing at all.

Martin instead warned: "When you grow up, you should be more careful in the future. If you hear anything that can cleanse or purify your mind and thoughts, stay away from it. It is most likely a cult."

Lily could hear Martin's words and said, "I remember that."

Chad, Chen Hu, Marcus and others arrived at this time.

Martin waved at them: "This way."

After they came and sat down, Martin called the waiter to serve the drinks.

Tomorrow is the weekend and the crew is on break, so you can drink a little without worrying about delaying work.

After each of them filled their glasses, Martin raised his glass and said, "I hope our movies continue to sell well."

"A big hit!" Several people raised their glasses and drank together.

Menet is best at livening up the atmosphere. While drinking, he talked about the interesting things that happened during the filming in France last year.

Especially when he talks about Isabelle Huppert and Sophie Marceau, it makes people envious.

Although these European goddesses of literature and art are all open-minded and extremely heroic, and taking off their clothes is no different from eating or drinking, they are not available to just anyone.

Bruce put his arm around Mene's shoulders and said, "Uncle Mene is Uncle Mene, the most invincible among us."

Martin acknowledges this: "I am not as good as Mene."

Chad agreed: "Indeed."

Marcus said: "You have accomplished something that I could never achieve in my dreams."

Chen Hu gave Mei Nei a thumbs up and said, "If I had half of your ability, I wouldn't have to work so hard for every crew. I could have just laid back and enjoyed a life of financial freedom."

Mene waved his hand: "I have also been practicing hard for more than ten years."

The group of people were laughing, telling jokes and drinking.

Lily had an exhibition to attend tomorrow, so she was the first to leave the bar.

As soon as she left, Martin's phone rang. It was Taylor Swift calling.

The bar was crowded and chaotic at this time, so Martin took out his cell phone, gestured, and went out of the bar to answer the call.

As soon as I put the phone to my ear, I heard Taylor's anxious voice: "Martin, come quickly, come and save us, we are being targeted by a group of bad boys, here at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park, hurry up!"

"What's going on?" Martin quickly reminded: "Call the police!"

Taylor added: "It's not that serious yet. We are confronting them. Come here quickly and bring more people."

Martin had been drinking, and upon hearing this he immediately returned to the bar and quickly said something to everyone, asking them to follow.

Bruce even quietly checked the gun.
