Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

"Link, do you want a massage?"

The father-in-law took off his clothes, lay on the massage table, and let out a comfortable sigh.

"Oh, no, I don't feel any discomfort."

Link looked at the two attractive masseuses, wondering if he should step out to give his father-in-law some privacy.

"Link, don't look at me now; when I was young, I ran marathons often and even took third place in the New York region."

The father-in-law gasped out the words as he was being massaged.

"Yes, it's clear you're in good shape."

Link, with a lollipop in his mouth, leaned against the balcony railing, admiring the view of the small lake and green fairways. It was quite nice.

"Link, you and Ivanka have been dating for over half a year, when do you plan to get married? Ivanka isn't getting any younger."

The father-in-law suddenly changed the subject and asked.

Link smiled helplessly, not expecting to be pushed for marriage face-to-face. After thinking it over, he said he would seriously consider the matter once he finished the work at hand.

The father-in-law hummed a few times without any further sound, his hands grabbing at the masseuse's buttocks.

Link touched his forehead, thinking with his father-in-law's behavior, even if he succeeded in running for office, he'd likely be driven out. For his own interests, perhaps he should find a time to advise him—to be a good person.

After wrapping up work in New York, Link flew to Los Angeles to attend the Weinstein Company's celebration party.

The party was held at Weinstein's Beverly Hills mansion that bordered Universal Gardens and spanned the size of about five football fields, estimated to be worth over thirty million US Dollars in the current Beverly real estate market—a well-known luxury home.

"Hey, Link, you're here too?"

When Link and Jennifer Lawrence got out of the car, they happened to meet Casey Affleck pulling up in his red Porsche, with his wife Summer Phoenix, who is also Joaquin Phoenix's younger sister, sitting alongside him.

"Harvey invited me."

Link said with a soft smile, greeted Summer, and said to Casey, "I forgot to congratulate you on winning the prize at the Berlin Film Festival. Now many people say you and your brother are Hollywood's versatile duo."

"Haha, we're versatile, but we can't compare to you; you're the universally acknowledged superman."

Casey Affleck laughed.

At the end of last year, Casey's directorial debut "You Are Still Here" wrapped up and won the Documentary Biography Movie Award at the Berlin Film Festival in January, attracting considerable attention in Hollywood.

His brother Ben Affleck is a leading Hollywood actor, known for "Pearl Harbor," but in recent years, he turned to directing, releasing "Gone Baby Gone," "The Town," and the "Argo" that premiered last September.

This film, self-written, directed, and starred in by Ben Affleck, was made on a budget of 37 million and grossed 154 million globally, earning Jeremy Renner an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The film was both critically acclaimed and a box office success.

Ben Affleck thus became one of Hollywood's more successful directors, gaining much praise and hailed as 'the second Clint Eastwood.'

It's rare in Hollywood to see siblings like Casey and Ben Affleck who are actors and directors, and successful at both; they have been dubbed 'cinematographic twins' by Variety magazine.

While the two were chatting in the parking lot, two more luxury cars pulled up beside them.

One was Oscar Best Actor Russell Crowe's ride, a white Fiat 8V, and the other was a Porsche with the famous director Robert Rodriguez, each accompanied by star companions.

Link hadn't worked with either of them, but knew them, and after exchanging greetings, he walked with Jennifer into Weinstein's luxurious estate.

At the party scene, there were even more stars.

There were acquaintances like director Quentin Tarantino, Steven Soderbergh, who soared to fame with "Sex, Lies, and Videotape," director Martin Scorsese, who had collaborated with Harvey several times, and Tom Hooper, the director of "The King's Speech."

And major stars like Richard Gere, Kevin Spacey, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Colin Firth, Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, Michelle Williams, Renee Zellweger, Nicole Kidman, Salma Hayek, Cate Blanchett, Judi Dench, Heidi Klum, and over two hundred other film actors or film and television industry professionals.

The entire party was sparkling with celebrities, even more so than the 'Oscar Night' party.

Currently, Hollywood was in its busiest phase, and for so many people to set aside their work to attend Harvey's party, Link had to admire such connections.

If last year he had directly fallen out with Harvey over that phone call, given Harvey's connections in the industry, Palm Beach Films would likely have trouble finding suitable directors and actors for their movies.

And he himself, along with the actors under Palm Beach Talent Agency, would probably be ostracized by these people.

It wasn't an exaggeration—many actors and directors present were very 'loyal' to Harvey.

Like Matt Damon and Russell Crowe.

After Harvey's downfall, there were reports that a New York Times journalist named Sharon Waxman was preparing in 2004 to write an article exposing Fabrizio Lombardo, hired by Harvey to procure women in Italy.

Matt Damon and Russell Crowe, under Harvey's direction, respectively called the journalist Sharon, asking her not to publish the article and pressuring her. Eventually, the report came to nothing.
