Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Chapter 400: Hong Kong Island Concert

Link, while seated on the plane to Singapore, was still pondering the incident he had encountered the day before with Dadalio’s mother.

When he saw Mrs. Dadalio, he had politely greeted her and, not receiving a positive response, he took the initiative to say goodbye to Dadalio.

As he was leaving and the door hadn’t closed yet, he heard Mrs. Dadalio’s voice from inside: "Yanni, you know he’s a playboy..."

Out of politeness, Link hadn’t eavesdropped on the rest of the conversation, but he could roughly guess that Mrs. Dadalio considered him a playboy and disapproved of Dadalio associating with him, intending to break them up.

He had worried that Dadalio might be persuaded by her mother, and had messaged to ask if her mother was angry. Dadalio replied, "Link, I like you, and it has nothing to do with her."

Link felt somewhat touched upon hearing this; if it hadn’t been for Dadalio being ordered by her mother to stay home, he would have wanted to rush over to be with her in the middle of the night.

At the same time, there was a bit of regret in his heart that if he knew the Shadow Clone Technique and could create a dozen clones—one to perform concerts for him, one to train, one to act in movies, and another to travel the world.

And his real self could stay home and be with them day after day, but unfortunately, the cloning technique was beyond his reach.

In business class, while Link was staring out the window at the clouds and lost in thought, a joyful exclamation came from nearby, from a tall, young girl with blonde hair and blue eyes.

She was dressed in a sundress, youthful and vibrant, around twenty years old.

She introduced herself as Emily Salas from New Jersey, on her way to Singapore for a vacation, and a die-hard fan of his, absolutely loving his songs.

Link expressed his gratitude, took the notebook, and signed it for her, but he declined her request for a selfie, as he already had too many scandals and couldn’t afford to provide the media with more fodder.

The girl didn’t mind and sat down in the seat next to him to chat, asking him about his concerts.

Link politely replied with a few sentences.

The conversation was normal at first.

After two minutes, the girl began to touch him, expressing her admiration, and asked if there was anything he needed, offering to help him "take care" of it right here, while licking the corners of her lips with her tongue. Experience tales with

Seeing her young appearance, Link thought of plans like the ones of little Epstein’s, and immediately became cautious.

He signaled Anna to have her taken away.

He then called Anna and three assistants, Wallace, Bob, and three temporarily hired bodyguards to have a brief meeting, setting a rule that during the tour, no strange women were to come near him without his permission.

Those wanting autographs or selfies would have to go through them.

Wallace was put in charge of this task.

Everyone nodded and took note.

After the meeting, Link leaned back in his seat and sighed helplessly.

In the past, he found celebrities standoffish and difficult to approach. He had wanted to be a down-to-earth superstar once he became famous, but the reality simply didn’t allow it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening! Our plane is expected to arrive at Changi International Airport in Singapore in 30 minutes. The ground temperature in Singapore is 31 degrees Celsius, 87 degrees Fahrenheit..."

The sweet voice of the flight attendant sounded over the cabin’s speaker.

The plane’s arrival in Singapore marked the first stop of Link’s concert tour in Southeast Asia.

As Link was conducting his tour in Southeast Asia, Taylor’s third album’s second promotional single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was released.

The song, which also addressed their breakup, sounded great.

On the first day of its release, it achieved a total download count of 1.45 million across all platforms, even more popular than the previous "The Story of Us," and successfully topped various digital music charts and Billboard’s singles chart, becoming the album’s second chart-topping single.

Its strength was truly formidable.

"Rolling Stone" commented that from the two promotional singles released, the song quality of Taylor’s third album was very high, and well-received by the fans, "This is an album full of ambition and not lacking in Taylor Swift’s personal sincerity; it’s formidable and very likely to change the current Billboard album chart rankings."

A renowned music critic from the "Los Angeles Times," Jonathan Preston, used a playful tone, "Taylor Swift, wielding a revenge sword called ’Last Kiss,’ targets her ex-boyfriend, annual sales champion, Link Baker, in a battle of love turned hate, entwined with affection and resentment. Will Taylor succeed in her revenge, and can Link hold onto the sales crown? This is highly anticipated!"

Other media also heavily reported on Taylor’s third album in the lead-up to its release.

They pitted Taylor’s new album against Link’s new album, portraying it as a ’victim girlfriend against scumbag ex’ battle of revenge.

It was also touted as the year’s second album chart contest, following Link vs. East Coast rappers, but this time as a battle between ex-girlfriend and ex-boyfriend.

The headlines were quite provocative, attracting not just fans but also the general public, curious about which of the former lovers and disciples had the upper hand in music after their breakup.

Even betting companies specifically set up betting projects for this.

Given that Link’s new album had already sold over four million copies in the United States, a staggering number, the betting companies offered high odds: for Taylor’s new album to surpass Link’s within a year, the payout was 50:1.

The high odds also attracted many gamblers.
