American Fame and Fortune

Chapter 42: Accumulated Anger

 Early in the morning, Martin drove out of the Clayton community and came to the parking lot near Highway 265. After waiting for less than ten minutes, Buckley drove over.

 The two cars stopped together. Buckley got out of the car and handed the bag in his hand to Martin: "Everything is in there."

 Martin opened the bag and found that the recorder, camera, press pass and interview pass were all there. He took out the envelope and stuffed it into Buckley's hand.

Barkley counted quickly and smiled with satisfaction.

  Martin said: “Wait for my call.”

"It's okay, don't worry." Buckley was not reassured and reminded him slightly: "You won't do anything illegal, right?"

Martin said: "I am a civilized person, and I only use the name of your newspaper to attend the Methodist press conference."

Barkley nodded, got in the car and left. After thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

 Martin drove to the club, entered the dressing room backstage, and took out the prepared cosmetics.

 Bruce pushed the door open and asked, "Why not let the reporter go?"

 Martin opened his makeup bag: "Even if you give him money, he may not ask questions in a way that completely angers a person."

Bruce said: "Man, I have a feeling that if I do something with you, it will be over soon."

Martin asked back: "A civilized man who dares to use mortar shells against a British man is afraid of a man whose brother is not easy to use?"

“I’m afraid you’ll explode the earth!” Bruce saw Martin applying makeup skillfully: “Can you do this again?”

 Martin shrugged: "I'm an actor, Jack Davis..."

Bruce interrupted: "I know that Jack Davis is the most versatile man in the United States, and you are his **** son.

 Martin snapped his fingers: “Congratulations, civilized man, you have learned a new skill—quick answering!”

 Makeup was one of the few gains he gained from his long career as an actor in his previous life.

 Martin put on his makeup, put on a wig, and a pair of brown glasses, and changed into a well-fitting old-fashioned formal suit, looking like a conservative middle-aged man.

 It is difficult to recognize him if you are not a familiar person.

 This is specially prepared by Martin according to the conservative style.

The two got into the Ford. Bruce drove the vehicle to the training center and said, "Be careful, don't get beaten to death on the spot. The **** in your head will fall out, and the whole world will know that you have no brain."

 Martin took out his press pass: "I am a reporter now."

 The car stopped near the training center. Martin got out of the car, raised his camera, and took photos of the crowd at the Beast House.

 Arriving at the door, Martin blended in with other reporters, showed his press card and interview pass, and successfully entered the training center.

  Martin also saw a few acquaintances, the female TV reporter who had interviewed him at the door of the Beast House and the male reporter from the Constitution.

 He stayed away automatically just in case.

 …

 The press conference was held in the training center hall, and Ms. Jennifer directed the volunteers to set up the venue.

Elena took over a task and pasted the names of the media participating in the press conference on the back of the chair.

She posted the name of Star News on the front row.

Jennifer said at this time: "There will be a question-and-answer session in the news, and the microphone needs to be given to the reporter who asked the question, one person on each side."

Elena stood up immediately: "Madam."

 Jennifer remembered reporting Elena from the House of Beasts, and nodded: “Okay, I’ll leave the left side to you.”

 On the other side, media reporters from Atlanta and Georgia, including Martin, were preparing to enter the press conference.

Two staff members from the training center came to hand out lunch coupons.

The kind that can be used at any time in a nearby high-end restaurant, the intention is self-evident.

Martin stuffed his stuff into his pocket next, mixed in with dozens of reporters, entered the venue, and quickly found a seat in the first row.

 The press conference kicked off, hosted by Jennifer. A family representative who participated in the training took the stage to express his gratitude to the Methodist Association.

A member of the Atlanta City Council praised their work.

 Milton took the stage to give a speech, angrily denounced the ridiculous remarks and behavior of liberals, and reiterated his views.

 When it came time to ask questions, Jennifer was the first to call on the reporter from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

This is Atlanta's largest-selling local newspaper.

The Constitution reporter’s questions were quite standard, and Milton answered them easily.

 “Next question.” Jennifer glanced at dozens of reporters.

 Including Martin, the reporters in the first two rows caught her eye first.

 The middle-aged male reporter, who was dressed in old-fashioned, stiff and conservative attire, caught her attention just now and immediately clicked: "This reporter in a gray suit."

Elena tried to be as natural as possible and handed the microphone to Martin.

Martin took the microphone and said: "Mr. Milton, you are a legend in Atlanta. Your ideas and ideas have illuminated the land of Georgia." As soon as these words came out, Milton's heartstrings were slightly tense when facing reporters. Relax, with a faint smile on his prim face.

Just when people were relaxing, the knife that Martin held out pierced the most painful part of people's hearts: "Are these the result of your two ex-wives cheating on you?"

Martin didn't wait for anyone to react and said very fast: "I interviewed Jessica and Lina, and they said that cheating was because of your incompetence. You couldn't satisfy them but refused to divorce them. They were helpless. Just in your bedroom, under your wedding photos, cheating on me with other men.”

 All his words pointed to Milton's incompetence, blaming Milton's ideas and opinions on his incompetence: "So, your incompetence has caused you to be extremely conservative, right?"

 Under normal circumstances, Milton's experience and experience are enough to ensure that he faces these vicious problems with a stable mood.

But the **** of the House of Beasts have protested and provoked day after day this week.

　　The "partner" of his second wife Lina even humiliated Milton in public in the bar. The news spread like it had wings. Not only the bar drinkers, but also the neighbors in the community looked at him strangely.

 How do men endure it?

 Milton even lost his safe haven from his wife's entanglement.

Jennifer gestured to the people on both sides of the venue, asking them to quickly take away Martin's microphone.

“Your question time is up.” Elena was the first to rush forward and grab the microphone in Martin’s hand.

 She seemed to be fighting with Martin, but her tall body blocked the two male staff members.

These days, Milton's healed scars have been peeled away little by little, and now they are even more bloody.

 Martin loosened his hand and the microphone was snatched away by Elena.

Although it was a little late, Jennifer was quite relieved to see Elena grab the microphone.

 The press conference can no longer be held. The reporters have received enough powerful information that there is no point in asking questions. The only way to go back is to rush back to the press conference.

 Jennifer said two words to announce the end of the press conference.

Journalists rushed out, some making phone calls while walking, asking newspapers or TV stations to reserve space and news time.

 Two male staff members have been "protecting" Martin when he went out.

 There were so many reporters present that it was impossible for them to really do anything.

Out of the training center gate, Martin quickened his pace and turned to a nearby parking lot.

 Bruce stood in front of the Ford waiting for him, very disappointed: "You were not beaten to death."

 Martin got on the bus: "I am a civilized person and only do civilized things. They sent me out very politely."

Bruce started the car: "Where to go?"

 Martin took off his wig and put it away: "Go back and take off your makeup."

Back at the club, Martin took off his makeup and put away all his things.

 The meal coupon was still there, so he took it out and handed it to Bruce: "A high-end cafeteria, you can bring a female companion."

Bruce snatched it away and praised: "I really admire you, you stinky piece of shit, for killing people and still taking advantage of it."

 Martin said: "I regret it now and want to take it back."

While Bruce stuffed it into his pocket, he pulled his coat back to reveal the gun bag: "Are you sure?"

 Civilized people appeared, and Martin took the initiative to give in: "My treat."

 The two left the club and headed to Route 265. In the parking lot near the Star Newspaper, they waited for Barkley.

 Martin returned the thing to him and said, "I've got some big news for you. Listen to it."

Buckley turned on the external playback of the recorder and listened carefully.

Bruce is also listening with his ears pricked up, glancing at Martin from time to time. As expected, this guy’s head is filled with stinking shit!

 “Okay, okay, really big news!” Buckley was very excited: “It’s a pity that it’s not exclusive.”

Many stories automatically formed in his mind: "This will trigger a new round of public opinion war, the most intense kind!"

Martin asked: “Based on your experience in the industry, where is the focus of public opinion?”

Buckley immediately replied: "Of course it's freedom and man's brother. It's easy to get hot topics in this area."

"Thank you, Mr. Buckley." Martin was about to withdraw: "I wish you can win the Pulitzer Prize as soon as possible."

Buckley returned to his car and hurried back to the newspaper office to finish the manuscript. He would spend a long time making up stories... No, there is no shortage of material for news reports.

 That evening, Milton's words appeared on the television news.

 In this case, it would be difficult not to cause controversy.

 There is a lot of commotion in newspapers and other print media.

 Liberal and conservative media criticized each other. Milton, the person involved, not only did not restrain himself, but also reorganized his remarks at the press conference and published a sharper column.

 Public opinion in Atlanta exploded.

Conservatives have been deeply rooted in Georgia for many years, and they simply took advantage of the situation to stir up a storm of public opinion and draw the focus of all media attention to conservatives.

 The Atlanta legislative election is not far away, and the lack of sufficient public attention has serious consequences.
