American fame and fortune

Two days later, Thomas came to Atlanta. After collecting detailed information, Union Martin's lawyer Hamlin filed a lawsuit with the Atlanta District Court.

Atlanta is Martin's home base, and with the full support of Coca-Cola and state and city legislators, the court immediately accepted the case.

After the subpoena was issued, the incident suddenly broke out in the media.

In the office building of the Gray Film and Television Center, Kelly Gray seemed to be reading a story in a gossip tabloid as if she were watching something shocking.

"We got definite information from the person involved. A superstar who was born in Atlanta had a close relationship with many female classmates while studying at Marietta High School. This public school has a large concentration of ordinary whites, Latinos and Africans. As an American student, the nickname of this superstar in his boyhood is no worse than it is now."

"Among them, an African-American girl became pregnant and insisted on giving birth to a boy named Paul. Thanks to his father's outstanding talent in performing arts, Paul has been good at acting since he was a child..."

At this point in the writing of the article, there is the first accompanying picture, an African-American boy with not very dark skin who looks and dresses like a certain superstar.

Kelly Gray and Martin know each other well. It is obvious who this so-called superstar is.

Louise Meyer, who just came over from the opposite side, is eating melon online.

A very popular anonymous post in a popular forum.

"I was a student at Marietta Middle School, in the same class as Martin Davis. I remember very clearly that there was a party at school. The party had just started, and all five of the most beautiful girls were gone. You guessed they were going Where did they go? They were all abducted by Martin Davis! At that time, Martin was a master at picking up girls!"

"When we found people, Martin Davis was playing against five, and he was very good at selecting people. They were all blond, African-American, Latino, Asian and Arab. This probably made him feel fat. All over the world, right?”

"The impact of this incident was very great. Several girls dropped out of school or transferred schools. A few years ago, I met an African-American female classmate who led a teenage child named Paul. I The first time I saw him, I thought of my middle school classmate Martin Davis. How should I put it? Paul and him are almost printed from the same mold."

There was no mention in this man's words that Paul was Martin's illegitimate son, but there were hints everywhere.

Louise knew at a glance that this was a short composition that could only be written by a professional.

Kelly Gray put down the newspaper and asked, "They look a bit alike, so they can't really be Martin's illegitimate child, right?"

"Have you eaten too much high-protein food recently and blocked your brain? Your brain is full of Martin's stuff?" Louise mocked directly: "A black man! A black woman, do you think Martin will do it?"

Kelly shrugged: "He was still an ignorant teenager at that time."

But Louise shook her head: "Certain cognitions formed in childhood will have a deep-rooted impact on a person's life. These views were not formed after meeting us, but existed before. With a black woman, it is impossible."

Kelly couldn't hide the disappointment on her face: "If it's true, we will have fun, Martin... haha..." She couldn't help laughing: "That bastard has been rubbing off on other people's bodies since he became an actor. It’s so hot, I think there will be a day when someone will rub me crazy.”

Louise said: "Martin's lawyer sued this Paul, but I have a feeling that the other party is waiting for Martin to sue in order to use this matter to spread his influence."

"You're right." Martin walked in from the open door of the office, followed by Thomas and Bruce.

Louise couldn't help but joke: "Congratulations on having a son."

Martin ignored these boring words, grabbed the mouse from Louise's hand, and clicked on the YouTube link. On the hot search on the YouTube homepage, the video of Martin's son Paul entered the hot search ranking.

Louise took back the mouse and clicked on the video.

Kelly Gray also turned around and stood behind Louise.

This is a rap video featuring Paul.

He was wearing a red shirt, drinking Coca-Cola, and playing among a bunch of beautiful girls. The song he sang was a typical black rap style, and the theme of the lyrics was fathers and sons.

It is filled with all kinds of swear words and resentment towards his father.

After the video played, Thomas took the lead and said: "This song is very popular now. It has been trending on YouTube, Twitter and INS."

Martin frowned slightly: "Why do you feel so uncomfortable?"

Kelly said: "Because he used your best method to market and hype, and he also used you as a stepping stone."

Martin thought for a while: "I don't have such an ugly appearance, let alone pretend to be someone else's son." He said directly: "I can survive today mainly because of the support of the two of you."

Louise whispered: "That's also the result."

Kelly giggled.

Martin felt that this was so reasonable that he didn't want to refute it at all.

It’s also hard power to show off!

Thomas' cell phone rang at this time. He answered the call and went out to say a few words. He quickly turned back and said, "Look at Atlanta Channel 6. That bastard is being interviewed by the TV station."

Kelly took out the remote control from a drawer and turned on the LCD TV on the wall, quickly switching to Atlanta 6.

In the variety show being played, a chubby female black reporter was interviewing Paul, a black teenager.

"There have been a lot of rumors about you recently." The female reporter asked, "Do you really have a superstar father?"

Paul said with a rap accent: "I grew up in an African-American single-parent family in South City. I had never seen my father. I used to often ask my mother, where did my father go? But my mother never answered. When I was growing up, In the process, there is only mom and no dad, so these are not important."

The female reporter asked again: "But this incident has profoundly affected your life and even changed you?"

"Yes, it has completely changed me." Paul replied with a maturity that was not suitable for a teenager: "I am looking forward to being recognized by men and getting back what I lost during my growth period. After experiencing many unfair treatments, I can proudly declare to the media: I am gay!"

The female reporter said: "You are very brave. Not everyone dares to say this publicly."

Paul seemed to have gone through a lot of rehearsals and did not need to think about many words. He opened his mouth and spat out in a rap accent: "As I get older, some things have brought a lot of obstacles to me and deeply troubled me."

The female reporter just asked: "Do you know what it is?"

Paul pointed to his Adam's apple: "In terms of gender recognition, I am gay because I think I should be a woman. God made a joke on me, giving me a female soul but a male body. This kind of The torture started before I was ten years old. When I would sit alone and meditate, I would often ask myself, why am I not a girl?"

He didn't look troubled, but was very determined: "I am saving money for the operation. When I save enough money, I will go for the operation immediately."

The female reporter opened her arms and gave him a hug: "I wish you can realize your dream soon."

"Yes, it will definitely come true." Paul's words seemed to be targeted: "Although if I do this, I will be discriminated against by many people, encounter a lot of obstructions, and even those discriminators will attack me, but I will not back down. We will insist on being our true selves, and God gives us the power to choose..."

Amid applause, the variety show ended.

Almost as soon as it ended, Thomas checked his phone and said, "The show is on YouTube."

"It's not just YouTube." Bruce also held up his mobile phone: "It's also on Twitter and Instagram."

Louise said: “It was obvious they had planned and prepared.”

Kelly looked at Martin curiously: "This matter is a bit troublesome."

Martin looked at the black guy on the fixed screen of the TV and said: "This is the method I use to get people, stack BUFF. I didn't expect people would learn it so quickly."

Louise deliberately pushed against him: "It's normal for those who mess with others to be fucked by others."

Kelly was overjoyed: "You opened Pandora's box and released a group of demons. Now you know the consequences?"

"Even if I don't open it, someone else will open it." Martin looked at a few people in the office and said: "Black people, gay people, shapeshifters, guys, it's a little difficult to deal with."

Bruce seized the opportunity: "It's okay. You can say that you are a rice cooker and a Walmart shopping bag. You are one version ahead of him. Use your version to crush him!"

"What do you mean by rice cooker and shopping bag?" Kelly and Louise were both curious.

Bruce explained briefly.

Kelly and Louise looked at Martin with different eyes, and the latter said: "It turns out that I have been using a Walmart shopping bag in these years."

"Don't say these crazy things." Martin said seriously: "The key now is to solve the problem."

Kelly said: "If we go through the legal process, Paul's BUFF will attract a lot of attention and even gain support from certain groups, and you... will become a villain."

Martin looked at Thomas: "What did Attorney Hamlin say?"

Thomas said: "There is no doubt that we will win, but the final result will most likely be a public apology, deletion of relevant content, and a compensation of no more than $50,000. There have been many similar cases in the past, which have affected movies and directors. There are endless incidents of being popular with celebrities."

Louise continued: "The most influential event in recent years was when a screenwriter claimed that James Cameron plagiarized "Avatar". James Cameron won the lawsuit. In fact, the compensation he received was unspent. There are many lawyers.”

Martin said: "In other words, through normal legal channels, no matter whether we win or lose, the other party can get the results they want?"

Thomas said: "In fact, now they have got it. Paul has been trending on YouTube, Twitter and INS, and the father-son rap song he released has gained widespread attention."

He reminded: "The affirmative movement has been ongoing, and you must consider the possible impact of the other party's BUFF."

Bruce said: "Didn't you say that the only thing that can defeat magic is magic?"

Kelly smiled from ear to ear: "Hurry up and hold a press conference to announce rice cookers or shopping bags, leading new social trends..."

Louise pulled Kelly and said softly: "Shut up."

Kelly nodded and saw Martin pacing back and forth in the office and said no more.

Stacking buffs is indeed a bit troublesome, but for Martin, it's not really a big problem. The main thing is that he doesn't want to make a fuss.

Only those who have actually used magic know that using magic to defeat magic is just a joke and not a good idea.

Martin stopped and asked, "I remember from the information that the group of people surrounding Paul were all from the South City of Atlanta."

Bruce said: "Yes, they come from the more chaotic black community."

Martin asked a key question: "Black people are particularly talented in rap. I can understand it, but where does the money come from to achieve the current momentum on the Internet?"

Everyone here has followed Martin in the Internet hype marketing, and understands that it costs a lot of money to create such trending news.

That group of people want to create stars and use the Internet model to create Paul. There is no powerful company behind these huge initial investments.

Having said that, if you rely on a large company, you won't adopt this kind of buff and hard-on approach.

Kelly was a standard local snake, and said: "Leave it to me... In this way, we will adopt a coordinated approach and let Sophia also check it out."

Martin looked at Bruce: "Brother, go talk to Sophia."

Bruce touched his butt and sighed: "Okay, I'll call her right now."

Martin added: "We don't use magic to defeat magic. We defeat magic in an upright way as much as possible, without leaving any sequelae."

Louise understood what this meant: "Those bastards want to use magic to confront you, but you use physical surrender to deal with it?"

Martin snapped his fingers: "Correct answer!"

Just like the Oscar PR competition, Martin never plays according to the routine, let alone fights on the route planned by his opponent.

Everyone discussed for a while and then left to get busy.

Attorney Hamlin continued to pursue normal legal avenues.

Bruce found Sophia, leaned his back against the wall, and explained things quickly.

Sophia agreed immediately. She has made huge profits by investing in movies with Martin over the years and has no worries.

It's not hard to find out about this kind of thing.

Soon, all kinds of information were fed back to Bruce. Martin just glanced at it and gave it to Bruce and Thomas to handle it with full authority.

Although the other party thought he had grasped the essence of society and had accumulated multiple magic buffs, Martin determined after reading the information that this was not a big deal.

He put all his energy into the filming.

…………

Atlanta, Morrow District.

Bruce drove a Chevrolet and gradually approached a single-family house.

A copper nameplate hangs in front of the house's courtyard, which reads - Paul's Studio.

Bruce looked at his old comrade in the co-pilot: "After all these years, you have only been promoted to one level?"

Kurt Lynch said: "You don't understand. In DEA, this is the best position. There are too many troubles when you go up, and there is too little oil and water when you go down..."

The two served together in the British Army, and they also had a friendship with the British. When someone framed Martin for drugs in Atlanta, Bruce was looking for Kurt Lynch.

Bruce punched his stomach: "If you continue fishing for oil and water, you will become a pregnant woman."

Kurt Lynch shook his head and said, "My belly is much smaller than that of the old German soldiers."

Bruce said: "Are you so depraved that you can compete with them?"

The door of the single-family house opened at this time, and someone took the newspaper from the mailbox and returned to the house.

Bruce asked, "Are you ready?"

"Of course." Kurt Lynch said: "According to the information you provided, the funds for their operations come from drug sales. Today is the time they get the goods every week, and then resell them to places where rap lovers gather. , and profit from it.”

This is his job, and he knows enough: "Those who engage in rap, like those who engage in rock and roll, cannot do without these things."

Bruce reminded: "What if they don't get the goods today..."

Kurt Lynch laughed: "Isn't it reasonable for the DEA to have some inventory?"

Bruce has no moral obsession, but instead reminded: "Be careful. According to the information I found, they have illegal guns in their hands."

Kurt Lynch was not surprised at all: "It's normal for the gangsters from Nancheng to have guns in their hands. If they dare to take out their guns..."

The door of the house opened again, and two black men came out carrying bags. One of them was the black, gay and shape-shifting Paul.

Bruce said: "Today there was a meeting for his supporters in a black bar. Normally, it would end up being a crazy party."

Kurt Lynch said: "That Paul is sixteen years old."

Bruce nodded: "That's right."

Two black men got into a Hyundai and drove down the road.

Kurt Lynch picked up his mobile phone and made a call: "Follow the target vehicle and find an unmanned and unmonitored road section to check. They may have guns. Pay attention to safety."

"receive."

Hyundai cars drove through different intersections, and cars followed them alternately.

In the car, the fat black man Kenan was very excited and said: "You are famous now. Several record companies have contacted me. Let's see who has the best conditions."

Paul grew up in a black area, and with a typical black fart style, he rapped: "I want to thank my good dad Martin, it's so cool to rub against him."

Kennan said: "Even if we lose the lawsuit, it doesn't matter to us! Paul, you must maintain a good character!"

He thought he had grasped the social code: "Black plus gay plus shape-shifter, what about Martin Davis?"

Paul chuckled, maybe he had been exposed to it for a long time and had become very thoughtful: "Do you think this will work? When the lawsuit is over, I will pursue Martin Davis. I am already openly gay and I will pursue Martin openly. Who can say anything?" ?It can also cause a new round of sensation."

Kennan thought about it for a moment: "What a great idea!"

The two people were chatting while driving and didn't even notice that there were gradually no cars nearby.

The Hyundai vehicle drove into a relatively desolate area. When it passed an intersection, a van suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking the road.

Kenan quickly braked. Just as the Hyundai stopped, several black Chevrolets turned out of the rear intersection, blocking the retreating road.

Paul grew up in a black area and was used to all kinds of vendettas. When encountering an emergency like this, his first reaction was that someone was going to rob or even murder him. He immediately opened the storage box and took out a pistol.

In the van and Chevrolet, the doors opened and agents wearing body armor came out.

These people did not approach, but relied on vehicles to surround the Hyundai.

The leader shouted: "DEA, let me see your hands, get out of the car and lie on the ground immediately!"

Paul subconsciously waved the gun in his hand.

The detective on the other side of the truck could see clearly and yelled, "He's got a gun!"

Someone else shouted: "Put down the gun, get out of the car and lie down!"

"Fuck you!" Paul, now a celebrity or a 16-year-old Internet celebrity, lowered the window and shouted: "Do you horse-riding people know who I am? I am Paul, the son of Martin, a black man, and a gay man. , and he’s still a shape-shifter!”

The hand holding the gun reached out of the window.

"Far!" As the shout rang out, gunshots also rang out.

DEA agents are equipped with more than just pistols. Many of them hold automatic rifles and shotguns.

Bang bang bang gunshots rang out, and the Hyundai cars were turned into a hornet's nest.

Magic is defeated by physical blows!
