Chapter 473 The Omnipotent Martin

In the event of such a serious shooting incident, who was the most efficient person?

The ambulance had just left the scene, and the LAPD was still gathering information when a large number of media reporters and paparazzi either sped back to their news agencies or met with the buyers.

While the LAPD and FBI were wrangling over the case and fighting over the two injured criminals, dozens of media outlets were already reporting on the news extensively.

TMZ was still the quickest to react, releasing the video taken by its own reporters without any editing or adjustments.

The news headline is clear and concise.

"Martin Davis was attacked by multiple armed robbers, but he and his bodyguards wiped them out!"

The video was immediately featured at the top of TMZ's homepage by the editor-in-chief as soon as it was released!

The editor-in-chief personally called Jody's most elite and capable team, demanding that they immediately go all out to follow up and report on the incident.

In the newsroom at CNN headquarters in Atlanta, Nina, the director of the news program, was directing the live broadcast when her deputy rushed in and whispered a few words in her ear.

Nina said something, then quickly took off her headset and asked, "Really?"

The deputy said, "Our buyer over there got the video and sent it over immediately. I just reviewed it, and it's correct."

He added, "TMZ has already posted another video taken by a different reporter on their website. These bastards are too quick."

Nina quickly scanned the video and immediately ordered: "The news broadcast is interrupted. Immediately insert the video of Martin Davis's shootout with the criminals. The news program will provide 24-hour coverage of the latest developments, broadcasting it on a loop!"

The director took the storage disk.

Nina added, "Inform the Los Angeles news team to ignore Obama and his group and focus all their efforts on reporting this."

Someone immediately called Los Angeles to inform them.

While CNN was broadcasting Martin's video, news channels such as WarnerMedia, Fox, ABC, and NBC all interrupted their programming and temporarily replaced it with Martin's video news.

In a short time, the video of Martin battling the armed robbers appeared before audiences across the United States.

The incident occurred in a public place because Cartier had announced in advance that Martin would be shooting GG at the old pier in Santa Monica, attracting a large number of entertainment reporters and paparazzi who took related videos.

In addition, there must have been at least a hundred people who witnessed it firsthand.

At the Santa Monica pier, both the LAPD and the FBI collected video footage and interviewed witnesses.

The area around the pier has become a media frenzy.

The number of reporters who flocked to the scene was greater than the number of LAPD personnel present. Anyone who witnessed the event or took a photo or video became a hot topic in their eyes.

Several reporters surrounded a tourist who was talking incessantly and took many photos.

The tourist recounted the incident with great enthusiasm: "I was less than 30 meters from the scene of the attack and saw it clearly. Four attackers got out of that Ford van and tried to kidnap and attack Martin. Martin only needed a few blows..."

His kick nearly hit a reporter in the groin, and his fist almost struck another in the eye: "He took down all those bastards! Cleaner and more efficient than Bourne, amazing! Martin is truly incredible!"

The reporters nodded in agreement.

The tourist continued, "Later, a dozen or so armed robbers appeared. Martin grabbed a gun from the kidnappers' car and engaged them in a gunfight, taking down more than a dozen of them single-handedly!"

One reporter asked doubtfully, "I watched the video, and it seems like only five or six were taken down?"

"That's because the camera didn't capture the whole thing!" The tourist insisted he was right, and everyone else was at fault: "I saw Martin kill over a dozen armed thugs with my own eyes, how could I be wrong?"

That wasn't all; he added, "Of all the actors in the world, absolutely no one is a better fighter than Martin!"

Although a dozen or so gun-wielding journalists disagreed, they all agreed with the last statement.

On the other side not far away, several Martin fans wearing red T-shirts were also being interviewed by reporters.

"Martin is really amazing!" said the brown-haired young man. "He single-handedly fought his way from the outer perimeter of the docks to the beach area of ​​the dock's tourist area, wiped out all the armed thugs, and took them all down..."

He asked his companion, "There are probably about twenty people?"

Another Martin fan, his eyes filled with adoration, said, "There seem to be more than thirty."

"No! No! I counted carefully, there are at least forty!"

The fans who witnessed the incident firsthand, as well as the members of the Cola Cult, had nothing but Martin in their eyes.

Martin is all-powerful!

Some fans are saying something else entirely.

Facing the NBC cameras, a dozen fans, their eyes red and tears streaming down their faces, said, "Martin fought his way out to save us! He kept telling us to leave quickly, to get away, saying that the thugs' target was him, and that we would be safe if we stayed away from him."

A person nearby said, "His shouts probably gave away his location, which is why he was surrounded by so many gunmen. Otherwise, he could have just hidden himself."

Another girl chimed in, "Martin saved us!"

Someone else said, "Martin was injured saving us, and we don't know his condition yet. You should contact the hospital and tell them to do everything they can to save Martin!"

More people gathered around in red T-shirts, chanting: "Martin must be cured!"

These journalists realized that even bigger news might break out at the hospital.

It would be best if Martin died, making a great contribution to journalism!

One of them turned and ran, while the other followed, asking, "Which hospital was Martin taken to?"

Upon recognizing the photographer as one of their own, the person in front replied, "UCLA Medical Center!"

At the same time, many people drove to the medical center, including media reporters, movie fans, and people from the LAPD and FBI.

These two aspects have basically clarified the truth of the matter from videos, eyewitnesses, and the injured assailant, and need to reach an agreement with Martin.

"I hope Martin, that bastard, will be alright?"

After being questioned by the LAPD and FBI, Leonardo sat by a car and asked Nicholson, "That bastard owes me so much money, he can't die!"

Nicholson pulled out his sunglasses and put them on, looking incredibly cool. He pointed to Bruce not far away and said in a hoarse voice, "Look at how calm Old Bruce is. Does Martin look like something's wrong?"

Just over twenty meters away, Bruce, accompanied by his lawyer who had rushed over, calmly cooperated with the FBI and LAPD.

Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In all these years, including Toby, no one has moved me like Martin."

With the danger over and his strained throat feeling better, Nicholson spewed out nothing but jerky nonsense: "What, you've fallen for Martin? That's not a good thing. Martin's a total jerk... no, you're a jerk too. What's the result if you two jerk each other?"

Leonardo ignored his nonsense and said, "Martin is a loyal friend."

"Nonsense, if you and Martin were disloyal, why would I hang out with you?" Nicholson said, "That bastard Martin told us to run away as soon as we were in danger, so I risked my life to warn him where the gunman was."

Leonardo said, "I saved you too! Without me holding you back, could you have run that fast?"

Nicholson recalled for a moment and realized that was indeed the case. He said, "To repay your life-saving grace, I have decided to marry Lorraine to you, without a prenuptial agreement."

Leonardo was so angry he was about to vomit blood.

Seeing a number of reporters ahead, Nicholson tugged at Leonardo's sleeve: "It's time for us to shine."

Leonardo followed him over there: "How can we shine?"

"Listen to me." Nicholson stepped out of the cordon.

A dozen or so reporters swarmed around them.

"Jack, were you with Martin when it happened?"

"Could you tell me exactly what happened?"

"Martin was yelling at you to get away from him right away?"

Hearing these chaotic questions, Nicholson raised his hand to quell the noise, and only after it quieted down did he say, "The attackers suddenly appeared. Martin was in front, and Leo and I were behind. Martin quickly took down the attackers and told us to leave quickly while he covered us."

One reporter scoffed, "You're just going to run away like that?"

"Of course not. Leo and I called the police, then climbed to the highest point in the dock area." Nicholson pointed to the roof of the management office: "There, Martin and I worked together. I mainly scouted out the bandits' location and directed Martin to launch the attack. Together, we took down more than a dozen armed thugs!"

Leonardo was stunned. When it came to shamelessness, audacity, and the ability to cause trouble, he was no match for Nicholson.

The boss truly lives up to his title.

A reporter then said, "Didn't you see the video? Many people have filmed videos where Jack's shouts can indeed be heard."

Nicholson pointed to his throat: "Listen to my voice, doesn't it sound different? It's because I had to shout at the top of my lungs to give Martin orders, which strained my vocal cords."

One reporter remarked, "Jack, you're as impressive as ever!"

Nicholson laughed heartily, even more so than Lorraine and Leonardo DiCaprio, who hadn't even signed a prenuptial agreement before getting married.

Another reporter spotted Leonardo and asked, "Leo, what did you do?"

Leonardo can't exactly say he ran 100 meters in 11 seconds, that would be considered running away, wouldn't it?

He had a sudden inspiration: "Jack is old and his eyesight isn't very good, but his voice is loud enough. You've all seen his loud voice at the Lakers' home arena. So, I'll be in charge of observing the location of the armed robbers, and Jack will use his loud voice to direct Martin."

Nicholson's surprised look was hidden by his sunglasses. He thought to himself, "How did you manage to get close to this?"

Leonard put his arm around Nicholson's shoulder and said, "Martin led the charge, while Jack and I observed and directed from behind. The three of us worked together to take down that group of armed thugs."

Nicholson laughed and said, "Leo is right, but I must state one thing: Martin is the key, because in all of Hollywood, he's the only one with such outstanding operational capabilities!"

Leonardo nodded: "Martin's abilities are beyond your imagination!"

"Alright, that's enough for now. Leo and I are going to the hospital to see Martin." Nicholson walked forward, called his family's stretch Lincoln, and headed to the medical center.

A large group of reporters followed behind.
