America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz

```

The balconies of the adjoining suites were next to each other, and Julie, regardless of the adopted son running over for a hug, dashed to the adjacent balcony and watched the one next door from the shadows.

To her disappointment, there was no one on the neighboring balcony.

Straining her ears, Julie could not hear any sound either.

Many people in the circle enjoyed being on the balcony, didn't they like it?

Julie felt an uncomfortable itch, wishing she could jump over there not to join in, but to snatch someone away.

Just like when she was 16 and stole her mother's boyfriend, then took John Lee Miller, who was betrothed, and last year, snatched away Aniston's husband, Pitt.

If it wasn't taken from another woman's hands, it didn't feel satisfying at all.

Julie considered herself a brave woman, bold enough to steal and use.

Just a wall away was Louise's suite.

The shameless pair of a man and a woman had used playing games as an excuse to deceive the poor female producer.

Louise had been tied to a single sofa with a rope by Kelly.

"You two sluts!" She cursed, "Have you no shame at all?"

Martin was very innocent, "It's not my business."

That's what he said, but his hands weren't slow at all.

Kelly quickly disarmed, and with a hum, said, "You have the nerve to say I am shameless? Where was your face when you called me in Los Angeles?"

Louise was about to explode, "You could have not answered the phone, you could have hung up."

Kelly retorted sharply, "You could close your eyes and not see, sleep tight."

Louise really closed her eyes, but she couldn't block her ears and was soon awakened by the knightly Kelly's soaring soprano voice. She opened her eyes in shock to the sight of the two in front of her.

She angrily said, "I can't believe people can be as shameless as you two!"

Martin seemed as if he didn't hear, intently drawing the trombone, which made wooing sounds, playing wonderful music.

Between singing, Kelly flashed a victorious smile.

But she smiled too soon.

Louise completely abandoned shame and shouted out beats, "1234, 2234…"

Now Kelly's rhythm was thrown off. She unconsciously moved with Louise's beat and, realizing she couldn't let herself be controlled, tried to forcefully change it.

Louise laughed heartily, wanting to let her see but not touch, and she wouldn't let Kelly get off easily.

Soon, Kelly couldn't take it and untied Louise, leaving all three in disarray.

Somehow, Kelly ended up tied to the armchair by Louise, and once again, she became the injured party.

To prevent Kelly from closing her eyes, Louise found tape to seal Kelly's eyelids.

Luckily, Martin had a conscience and immediately ripped off the tape.

Because he knew Kelly would definitely not close her eyes.

Just like every time they talked on the phone. She would argue loudly but never hang up.

......

In the morning, Milton went to the headquarters of the Methodist Association.

Those who saw him respectfully stepped aside to greet, "Director."

Without much of a smile, Milton nodded imperceptibly and proceeded to his office.

Since the incident with the pink kettle over a year and a half ago, Milton had become even more reticent, rarely voicing his opinions and focusing more on getting things done.

The negative impacts from before had dissipated over time. The business entertainment projects he had promoted were successful, regaining the support of the Elephant Party behind the Methodist Association, and he rose to become the director of the Atlanta Methodist Association.

Entering his office, Milton first looked through today's mainstream newspapers to catch up on social dynamics.

Opening up "The Atlanta Constitution," the headline news on the entertainment page caught his attention.

"America's hero Martin Davis returns to his hometown of Atlanta to shoot the new film 'Wanted Order'."

Below was an interview with Martin.

"After multiple consultations with the producers at Pacific Pictures and Warner Bros., I have finally brought this project, with an investment of 65 million US dollars, back to my hometown of Atlanta. I hope it will create more job opportunities in Atlanta and make it more widely known..."

Milton did not recall ever meeting Martin, but he was deeply impressed with him.

A year and a half after the pink kettle incident, Milton had dug up some details. For instance, while the frontwoman for the incident was Kelly Gray, many of the plans actually came from Martin Davis.

Not long ago, a so-called hero video was aired by Warner Television Network, and within it, Milton saw a familiar face.

That person had once ridiculed him in a bar, claiming to have had an affair with his ex-wife.

Could the world really be so coincidental? Martin Davis's manager and bodyguard, involved with his ex-wife?

Milton didn't believe it.

The assistant knocked and came in, "Mr. Perry is here."

"Let him in."

Half a minute later, Tyler Perry entered the office, pulled up a chair and sat across from Milton, and greeted with a smile, "Good morning."

Milton asked, "What brings you here?"

Tyler said, "I visited the Gray Film and Television Base yesterday. Kelly Gray is way ahead of us, it won't be easy to catch up."

Just like the Clayton Community and Elena, the Methodist Association had a particular strong influence in the impoverished communities due to the free training and food distribution, which included the poverty-stricken South City.

Throughout his growth, Tyler had received countless support from the Methodist Association, and their relationship was inseparable.

The Perry Studios he established not only produced Diary of a Mad Black Woman but was also preparing to build a film and television production center.

Most of the funding came from the Methodist Association and the forces behind it.

The profound lesson of the Pink Kettle had made Milton pay attention to Kelly Gray and her company, and subsequently, he began to lead investments in the film industry.

Because the Conservative Faction also had a large amount of funds to account for, the film industry was very convenient.

Milton pulled out a document and handed it to Tyler, "An abandoned industrial park in Union City, covering over 300 acres, is currently going through procedures, it should be sufficient for you."

Tyler carefully examined the documents and photos and said, "The buildings there are too dilapidated; most warehouses need to be demolished and rebuilt before use, which means high investment and slow returns. Especially with Gray Film and Television Base as a competitor, by the time we finish building, they will have left us far behind."

Milton directly asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Besides a few studios and post-production workshops, the Gray Base is basically completed." Tyler was a black man; even as a star and director, he still embodied the typical black ethos, "Is there a way we can snatch the Gray Base from them?"

He looked cheerful and made comedies, but those who are successful in comedies are never simpletons, "This way, we can eliminate a competitor, save on time cost, and teach those bastards a harsh lesson."

Milton had talked to Tyler about Kelly Gray before, "Have you found a breakthrough?"

Tyler picked up the constitution and pointed at Martin on it, "The two largest public shareholders of Gray Company are Kelly Gray and Louise Mel, owner of Hollywood's Pacific Pictures. I have some sources in Hollywood; these two have a deep relationship with Martin Davis, especially Kelly Gray, who had Martin behind her with the Pink Kettle affair."

He said, "I plan to deal with Martin first, using him as a breakthrough to pry open the shell of Grey Media."

Milton, with his hands crossed on the desk, spoke indifferently, "I really don't like Martin Davis and Kelly Gray, including Martin's manager and bodyguard."

"I've gathered some information in South City," said Tyler again, "I need support, not just financially, but in other areas as well. Once I make the breakthrough, it's bound to provoke a backlash from the forces behind Gray Company."

Milton said, "This is Atlanta, and even though we lost a round last time, the Conservative Faction still has the upper hand."

Tyler nodded, "Wait for my news."

"Keep the push on your end, continue the procedures for the land in Union City." Compared to the old black man Tyler, Milton was more thorough, "Also, production for your next film started this morning, and many bills are waiting."

Tyler understood his meaning, "I won't have any problems on my side."

Milton watched him leave the office; if anything unexpected happened, it would all be on Tyler.

Black folks...

Minutes later, Tyler came down from the office building and got into his Lexus.

The driver, a young white man, asked, "Boss, where to?"

Tyler told him to stay cool and asked, "Kyle, you told me you were on a set with Martin before, right?"

"Yes, it was a late-night play for Gray Company called People from the City." Kyle recalled the situation back then, "The first day I joined the crew, Martin bullied me, intimidated me with a gun, and said he was the enforcer for a gang."

Tyler asked, "Is that true?"

Kyle hastily shook his head, "I'm not sure, but my cousin, Adam Smith, a star actor in late-night plays, went to jail because of Martin. I've visited Adam, and he said Martin framed him with a DP."

Tyler asked, "For certain?"

Kyle swore, "That's what my cousin said; they were competing for the lead role in Zombie Dancer, Martin was just a temp, my cousin was a star, if not for being framed, the role wouldn't have gone to Martin."

He lowered his voice, "Some people say that it was through that lead role that Martin got hooked up with Kelly Gray and made his way into Hollywood."

After listening carefully, Tyler thought about it and said, "Let's go to South City."

Kyle started the car and left the Methodist Association.

Tyler, being from South City himself, asked around a little and found Betty, the wife of the Black Bar owner Boyette; Betty was not on good terms with Boyette and had limited knowledge about the Black Bar's business.

However, Betty could confirm that Martin Davis had shot Boyette, leading to his arrest by the APD.

Tyler also found Lynn through Kyle, a casting director who had worked for Gray Film Industry. Lynn further confirmed to him that Kelly Gray and Martin Davis had maintained a long-term affair and were deeply involved in the project operations of Gray Film Industry.

All this convinced Tyler that he hadn't picked the wrong point of attack with Martin.

As for a national hero? Don't heroes always end up being trampled on?

Tyler used his connections with the Methodist Association in Atlanta to comprehensively collect Martin's data and anything related to him.

Then, he discovered something quite interesting.

During his time in Los Angeles, Martin Davis had sent gifts to Lily, the sister of his ex-girlfriend, Elena, who was just an ordinary high school student; many of the gifts were quite valuable.
