Chapter 11: My Bold Guess...

"Extra! Extra!"

"Sheriff Swart Cracks the Serial Robbery and Murder Case!"

"Extra! Extra!"

"Sheriff Swart Single-Handedly Takes on Six Criminals!"

...

Early in the morning, as the newspaper boy's crisp shouts echoed through the streets, Goethe already had an ironed newspaper in his hand.

The newspaper had been ironed by Swart.

Not only did the sheriff iron a copy for Goethe, but he also ironed fifty copies in total, distributing them around the...

*Chapter 10: Heroes Never Wet Their Pants!*

Faced with Morey's straightforward words, Goethe didn't feel any displeasure.

Because Goethe knew very well that what the other person said was true.

Moreover, he had no reason to refuse.

Unless he wanted to face an even stronger enemy, one who wielded unknown powers, all by himself.

It was mostly luck that allowed him to defeat the previous opponent.

Firstly, he had the advantage of terrain.

Secondly, the opponent lacked experience.

Now, his a...

Chapter 9: Bait!

With the thick fog as cover, Delber boldly walked into No. 1 Guta Street. As a subordinate of that lord, he knew just how terrifying this fog was. It didn’t just obscure visibility; if that lord wished, the fog could freeze anyone within it to death.

The extinguishing of the flames just now indicated that the lord was serious.

This was good news for him.

At least, it would make it easier to take out that guy.

A fully capable sharpshooter is formidable.

B...

### Chapter 8: The Gunshot!

Building 1 on Guta Street was a three-story flat-roofed structure, just like every other building on the street. The first floor had two rooms, a dining room, a living room, a kitchen, a washroom, and a basement storage room. The second floor had six rooms and two washrooms; Goethe, his parents, younger brother, and aunt had all lived on this floor. The third floor had a large study, a living room, and a washroom, where Goethe's grandfather lived.

Like other houses, Building 1 on...

*Chapter 7: Home Field!*

The sudden mist began to thicken rapidly, visible to the naked eye.

The middle-aged patrolman driving the carriage had to turn the brightness of the lantern to the highest level. He also lit another spare lantern, but it was still useless; the dense fog made it impossible for him to see the road ahead.

The carriage, which had been moving quickly, suddenly slowed down.

Fortunately, they had already reached the entrance of Guta Street.

Number 1 Guta Street wasn’...

### Chapter 6: Cooperation

Without paying attention to the questioning looks from his subordinates, Swart walked out of the interrogation room again and returned to the previous room.

"Sir, what are your orders?" Swart asked respectfully.

"Ask him about the 'ritual,'" the man holding the pocket watch instructed.

"Understood, sir," Swart nodded, turned around, and returned to the interrogation room.

This time, Swart's gaze towards Goethe softened, and his tone became gentle, as if he was w...

*Chapter 5: Interrogation*

*Anonymous Tip?*

Could it be a cover-up?

Goethe glanced at the body of the secret agent, letting out a cold laugh in his heart.

Those "pursuers" undoubtedly initiated their backup plan the moment they realized the agent known as "Soko" hadn't shown up on time—using an anonymous tip to test whether something had gone wrong at the police station.

No matter what the issue was, as long as it was backed by evidence, it would achieve their ultimate goal: to...

Chapter 4: The Mole and the Anonymous Report**

The young patrol officer spoke, and without waiting for his two colleagues to respond, he hurried out, looking anxious.

The two officers in the interrogation room exchanged glances, quickly checked Goethe's handcuffs to make sure they were secure, and then ran out.

Tap, tap, tap!
The sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Then, a figure slipped into the interrogation room.

It was the young pat...

### Chapter 3: I'm Turning Myself In!

The quiet of the night was completely shattered by the sound of screams.

More lights appeared in the rooms on both sides of the street.

Whistle!

A shrill whistle echoed, and two policemen in black uniforms came running from the end of the street.

{.....} clearly saw this, but there was no panic on his face. Like the other onlookers, he naturally withdrew from the window, closed it, and pulled the curta...

**Chapter 2: Good Night**

At night, one by one, the lit candles dispelled the fog-like darkness. Goethe knelt on the ground, dipping his fingers into his younger brother's blood to draw a ritual.

"Had, you'll forgive me, won't you?"

"This is for revenge!"

"For revenge on behalf of grandfather, father, mother, aunt, uncles, and Bruce, and the others!"

"You will forgive me, my brother, hahaha."

The flames reflected in the young man's dark pupils flickered. Tears streamed down his fac...

Chapter 1: Prologue

I almost got everything I ever wanted.

(End of chapter)

*Chapter 291: Still a Chance?*

As he entered, he happened to encounter Mrs. Andrea coming out of the house, accompanied by two cats, Meredith and Olivia. The two little ones meowed at him as they saw him.

"Hi, Annie!"

Faced with Mrs. Andrea, Link felt somewhat embarrassed, unsure of how to explain himself.

"You’re back. Taylor is upstairs. Whatever you have to say, go tell her."

Mrs. Andrea picked up the two kittens and walked out of the villa expressionlessly.

Link took off his hat, ...

 Chapter 290: Returning to Los Angeles

After the 'Link and Emma locker room making out video' was exposed, it was the most explosive news in the entertainment circle of the United States of America for two consecutive days, as well as the hot news in the international community.

Including the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Guardian, the Times, the Yomiuri Shimbun, the Picture Post, and so on, almost all of the world-class media reported on this matter.

Even the most conservative North Korean daily ne...

Chapter 289: The Miami Wedding

I'm not attached to any way you're showing up

I'm not attached to any way you're showing up

I'm just gonna love you like the woman I love

I'm just gonna love you like the woman I love

Yeah, I'm gonna love you

In West Palm Beach Beach Park, Link sits in a blue suit at a piano with his hands on the black and white keys, playing and singing "The Woman I Love" surrounded by grass, a dolphin-shaped fountain, and an awning adorned with flowers.

By the time...

 Chapter 288 - Kanye is devastated

  "Cheers!!!"

While Link was down on his luck, his enemies and rivals were partying.

In a black metal bar in Brooklyn, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Drake, and the newly released T.I. roared with excitement as they held up champagne glasses.

Since the beginning of last year when they took on Link, except for the initial stage when they had some advantage in public opinion, after March, they were first forced to publicly apologize, and then they were embarr...

Chapter 287: The whole internet is cursing

  As he was putting away the phone, Anna came over to tell him that the link music PR department had just communicated with the YouTube side and asked them to take down the video.

However, the people from YouTube said that the video did not expose their bodies, there was no prohibited content, and he and Emma were public figures, and the video of the two making out belonged to a news-type topic, and did not infringe on the rights of the two.

Link Music also ...

Chapter 286 - Saint Selene

In April, the sun on Miami Beach was a little warmer than in New York or Los Angeles, and Link was covered in a hot sweat just from sitting on a wicker chair for a while and answering a few questions.

When he saw Anna approaching with a grave look on her face, he said hello to Simmons and got up to ask Anna what was wrong.

Ms. Anna told him that there was trouble, an hour ago, someone posted the video of him and Emma Watson making out in the locker room, to the YouTube webs...

Chapter 285: Private Video Leak

  In the morning, the weather in New York was good.

It was early spring, the sun was warm, the air was fresh, the mulberry sycamores in the streets were changing into fresh green leaves, and the Greenwich Park next door was in full bloom, looking more pleasing to the eye than the neon lights at night.

With his work bag in hand, Scooter stood on the street and listened to a street singer's rendition of "Girls Like You".

In terms of vocal prowess and interpret...

Chapter 284: Crisis Temporarily Averted

After the video issue was resolved, the sword of Damocles hanging over Link's head was removed. No longer worried about a collapse, he relaxed and even ran an extra five kilometers during his morning jog.

"What happened? You seem happy."

During breakfast, Taylor spread jam on her bread, blinking at him as if trying to read his thoughts.

"1.74 million copies sold in the first week, top four in history. Shouldn't I be happy about such great results?"

Link chuckled...

*Chapter 283: Decrypting the Video*

On March 29th, Link Music announced on their Twitter account the first-week sales figures of Link's third album, "The Woman I Love."

1.747 million copies!

This made it the 15th album in Western music history to sell over one million copies in its first week. Link also became the 12th artist in music history to achieve platinum sales in the first week.

*Billboard* updated its list of the highest first-week sales records this week.

1. The first place is N...

*Chapter 282: Delete the Video*

In a black metal music bar in Brooklyn, Jay-Z put down the phone and looked at Kanye, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and others, saying, "Don't worry, Scooter said it will be sent out soon."

"Alright! We're not in a hurry."

Kanye and the others shrugged and sat back on the sofa, patiently staring at the huge 5x7 meter projection screen on the stage in the middle of the bar.

Sitting next to the screen was their computer expert, Drake. As soon as the video was released, Drake woul...

Chapter 281: All Part of the Plan

SB Projects is located in Manhattan's West Village, a neighborhood rich in artistic atmosphere and a cultural landmark for New Yorkers. This area is home to various artists, including painters, musicians, actors, writers, and more.

The majority are singers. Since the 1950s, the West Village has become one of the birthplaces of modern folk music. In 1965, Bob Dylan's performance at the Newport Folk Festival turned it into a holy place for rock musicians.

Many musicians perf...

Chapter 280: Ivanka's Move

"Haha, Jay-Z, don't worry. Just wait and see the show tonight. 8:00 PM sharp, YouTube."

In the president's office of SB Projects Entertainment, Scooter hung up the phone with a smile.

If someone else had asked, he might not have told them, but Jay-Z was his former boss, a big shot in the rap world, and currently a partner of the company, so he had to give him some face.

Scooter thought for a moment and then called the head of the publicity department, asking them to c...

### Chapter 279: Beyoncé Panics

After receiving Beyoncé's message, Link's daily routine was completely disrupted. Normally, after breakfast, he would take a walk with his cat and spend an hour reading professional books, but with something on his mind, he couldn't settle down.

He called Ivanka and explained the situation, asking for her advice.

"Scott has dirt on you? How do you know?" Ivanka asked, puzzled.

"Someone tipped me off. It's quite reliable."

"What kind of dirt?"

"I don't kno...

*Chapter 278: Beyoncé's Warning*

“Link, where are you? Are you okay?”

In the morning, while Link was eating breakfast on the balcony and reading the newspaper, Selena called with a panicked tone, as if she had been frightened.

“I’m at home having breakfast. Where are you? What’s going on?”

Link asked quickly.

“I’m at home too.”

Selena sighed on the phone, then said, “Link, listen to me. Whatever you do, don’t go to the beach these days. I had a dream where you fell i...

*Chapter 277: The Plan to Undermine Link*

“620,000 copies in two days?!”

At SB Projects Entertainment, Scott saw the figures published on the Link Music Twitter account and couldn’t help but twitch his eye muscles. His face darkened considerably.

He had expected that, given Justin's current fame, his album sales might be slightly lower than Link's but not by much.

But reality slapped him hard.

Link's new album's sales in just two days were already 100,000 more than Justin’s album’s total s...

*Chapter 276: First-Day Sales Reveal*

"Hey, Eva, Anna said you wanted to talk to me?"

Through the changing cityscape outside the car window, Link lounged on the couch in the RV, propping his legs up and calling the company's chief steward with another phone.

"Yes, Mr. Casanova, I have good news. Currently, distributors from 38 states have called, saying they expect to sell out all their stock in three days and are requesting a restock. Just three minutes ago, the distributor in New York announced that the first...

*Chapter 275: Sold Out Immediately After Release*

At the Link Music Company, Eva stood by the panoramic floor-to-ceiling window in the president's office, quietly listening to Link’s new song. With a light hum, she tapped the remote, and the next track, "Girls Like You," started playing.

The upbeat rhythm helped Eva relax, her shoulders easing as she began to snap her fingers and sway to the music, her curves subtly moving under her fitted dress.

Knock, knock, knock!

The sound of knocking came from outside the offi...

*Chapter 274: All Hits*

“Damn it! Thirty bucks for an album—are they trying to rob us?”

In New York, in the office of SB Entertainment’s president, Scott grabbed the newly purchased album The Woman I Love from his assistant. Despite digital albums being cheaper online, as a semi-musician, he preferred listening to physical records.

“Elliot, how are the sales at the record stores on Fifth Avenue?” Scott asked.

“Extremely busy!” replied his assistant, Alex.

*Chapter 273: New Album Release*

When Link returned to the Gulf Villa that night, it was still not quite nine o'clock. Taylor was still awake, the TV in the small living room on the second floor was on, and ABC was broadcasting interviews following the Oscars.

Link was also asked a few questions. The host inquired about his favorite actor and actress, to which he replied Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe.

The host then asked if it was true that his goal as an actor was to win the Oscar for Best Actor. Lin...
