America: Starting with the acquisition of MGM...

Chapter 109. The Birthday Promise

"Michael, you are a very kind person, but kind people are often the most vulnerable to being hurt."

"I recently visited China, an ancient country with a history of five thousand years. There is a saying there: 'One should not have the heart to harm others, but one should not be without the heart to guard against others.'"

"The gist is that we shouldn't intentionally hurt others, but we should also be careful of being hurt by others. A saying that has been passed down for thousands of years must have its reasons."

Michael hugged each of the three women: "I understand what you mean. I'll be careful. Goodbye Eric, goodbye Gadot, and you, little Elizabeth. Don't forget to bring me your sister's CD next time."

The Lamborghini started up, and Eric drove off with the two beautiful girls, one big and one small.

As soon as I stepped out of the gate of Dream Manor, I saw someone lurking suspiciously in the distance.

With his keen eye, he could tell instantly that they were definitely paparazzi.

It doesn't matter; once he publicly voiced his support for MJ, there was no need to hide it anymore.

Moreover, Lamborghinis are very discreet; at most, paparazzi will only be able to spot Eric's car, but they certainly won't be able to photograph who's actually inside.

"Gadot, your earrings are so pretty."

On the way back, Gadot and Elizabeth sat together in the back seat, chatting away.

Gadot covered her mouth excitedly: "Really? Eric brought this all the way from China for me."

Elizabeth moved closer to examine it carefully: "Its patterns are really unique."

"Haha. I think so too. It's completely different from the American craftsmanship, and I especially like it."

"Your skin looks so healthy, what skincare products do you use?"

Eric could understand what the two were saying at first, but when they started discussing topics that were exclusively for women, such as cosmetics, Eric was completely lost.

His thoughts involuntarily returned to MJ.

Eric helped the other person partly because he admired and respected him, and partly because he didn't want such a good person to be wronged.

On the other hand, they naturally hope to bring Mike into their team and incorporate him into their business plans.

Although Michael Jackson was just a singer, he cannot be viewed solely as a singer because his influence was so immense.

The album is the best-selling in the world; one album can equal the sales of other top singers in a lifetime.

In the 1980s and 90s, he would cause a sensation wherever he went, and was treated as an honored guest by presidents, prime ministers, princes and kings of various countries.

Furthermore, starting with the Mei Ling Zong, every president has invited MJ to the White House to campaign for them upon taking office.

At their peak, they could borrow military equipment to film music videos, which is somewhat similar to Jackie Chan borrowing the H submarine to film movies.

At the concert in Bucharest, the venue, which was originally designed to hold 7 people, was packed with 7.2.

What's even more terrifying is that more than 40 people gathered outside the venue.

Due to issues such as scalping and counterfeiting, many of these 40-plus people actually bought tickets.

But there was no way to squeeze in.

Before Eric traveled through time, a concert with several thousand people was considered a large-scale event.

This is 50 people, which is the size of a large-scale battle on the battlefield.

The gathering of 50 enthusiastic fans prompted the Romanian government to take the situation very seriously, deploying over 5000 soldiers and police officers to maintain order and drawing 2000 medical personnel from major hospitals to stand by.

As it turned out, the Romanian government's concerns were entirely justified, as the concert's level of frenzy was unprecedented.

Because there were so many people, the fans' breath created a mist above their heads, and their desperate shouts caused countless people to suffer from dizziness due to lack of oxygen.

The final count showed that approximately 5000 fans fainted on the spot, with an average of 10 fans fainting from lack of oxygen due to excitement every minute.

Furthermore, 23 people died from heart attacks or being trampled due to excessive excitement and loss of emotional control.

Because MJ chose to wear his underwear on the outside for that concert, a certain saying arose.

There are only two people in the world who can wear their underwear on the outside—Superman and Michael Jackson!

What is a pop king? This is it!

Since MGM is in the entertainment industry, it will inevitably get involved in the music sector sooner or later. If it can bring in Michael Jackson, the benefits are self-evident.

Moreover, Michael Jordan also holds 50% of the song copyrights for half of America's popular singers.

Once YouTube is launched, it's entirely possible to leverage MJ's influence to create a dedicated music section.

Moreover, once MGM's online platform is launched, relying solely on movies and TV series to attract users will certainly not be enough; variety shows are also a significant part of the content, with music variety shows being the largest segment within the variety show market.

In 2001, the UK produced "Pop Idol," the first music talent show.

Last year, Fox bought the rights to "Pop Idol" and developed "American Idol," which became a ratings sensation as soon as it aired.

However, while American Idol is impressive, how will Fox respond if it pulls out the same trick as The Voice and invites Michael Jackson as a guest?

We drove at high speed and returned to Los Angeles in just over an hour.

As it was getting dark, Lamborghini took little Elizabeth home first.

Upon arriving at the villa's entrance, Eric and Gadot waved goodbye to Olsen. The Olsen sisters' mother, Garnett, approached and said, "Eric, come in and have something to eat. It's dinnertime now, and Ashley and Mary are here too."

"I'm sorry, Garnett, I still need to take this lady home, and I also have some things to do, very important things. Let's do it another day. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

Then the Lamborghini drove away amidst Elizabeth's reluctant gaze.

Back home, Olsen washed up and sat down at the dining table, where Garnett had already served her food.

"Isn't that guy coming in? Did he refuse?" Ashley asked.

"Yes, there's a girl in Eric's car, a pretty girl, and Eric is taking her home."

"Girl, who is it?" Mary suddenly looked up and asked.

The mother and her two daughters looked at Elizabeth, who replied hesitantly, "Gal Gadot, the female lead in Transformers."

Mary stared wide-eyed in surprise and exclaimed, "It's her! I see. I knew their relationship wasn't simple. Otherwise, how could a woman without any background get the lead role in such a big movie? Let alone the lead role, most people can't even get a minor supporting role with three lines."

"Damn it, I remember the media reported on their relationship before, but it all fizzled out later. Damn it!"

"Mary, why are you so angry?" Garnett asked curiously.

"Without a mother, I just despise this kind of dirty deal. I hate unspoken rules the most, Ashley, don't you agree?"

Ashley nodded emphatically: "That's right, I hate unspoken rules the most!"

Elizabeth sullenly drank her soup; she had specifically asked her mother to cook a good meal, but Eric simply left.

After saying goodbye to the Olsen family, the Lamborghini pulled up to a fast food restaurant. Eric grabbed some high-calorie food from the window; he needed to replenish his energy for a big battle tonight.

The car eventually returned to Gadot's apartment. Today is April 30th, which is also Gadot's 18th birthday. After tonight, she will be an adult in a legal sense.

Upon entering the room, the lights were off, and Balefali was not there.

It doesn't really matter, this is America. Since college, it's been common to find roommates having sex with their partners.

"Honey, go take a shower first, I'll prepare some things."

"Um."

After taking off his clothes, Eric went into the bathroom and quickly filled the bathtub with water, sprinkling in bath salts and bubble solution.

He nodded in agreement: "Nice!"

I didn't notice it when I chose this apartment, but later I found out that the bathtub was shockingly big. I don't know what the builder's purpose was.

At that moment, Gadot came in carrying a plate with food and drinks on it.

"Come in, baby, I'm not in the mood for anything right now, I just want to devour you! Oh? We also bought some pickles?"

"It must have been bought by Lefari; it can be eaten with fried chicken."

As Gadot spoke, she removed her clothes, and as the last two pieces of her underwear fell to the ground, her exquisite and beautiful young body was revealed to Eric.

"Whoosh."

Eric whistled a few times and nodded, "Even though I've seen her countless times, she still captivates me every time I see her again."

"Really? Then what do you want to do?" Gadot asked with a smile.

"I want to eat some meat first."

"What?"

"Your chest."

"whee."

In the bathtub, Eric hugged Gadot from behind, gently nibbling at her body with his teeth.

"Why do they seem bigger again? Honey, are you still developing?"

"Idiot, bastard, you should ask me that. I'm 18 pounds heavier now than before I came to America," Gadot said, slightly out of breath.

"No, that's because you were too thin before. Haven't you noticed that your figure is more proportionate after you gained weight? Not only have your legs become longer, but your figure is also better."

Speaking of her figure, Gadot's changes over the past six months have been remarkable.

Because she was going to star in "Transformers," her rather thin physique was definitely not up to par. So, at Eric's insistence, she went through weight gain and rigorous training at the gym, and now her figure is close to that of the time when she filmed "Fast & Furious."

Her chest was noticeably fuller, and she had clearly defined abs. But what really caught the eye were her long, shapely legs. I wonder how many men would be willing to die under those deadly scissor kicks.

The only difference between him and Wonder Woman is that the angles of his face haven't become as defined yet.

After Eric's careful guidance, Gadot has become more and more suited to the big screen in every aspect.

"Don't itch, darling."

"Where does it itch?"

My heart is itching with longing for you.

"Tell me, how can I relieve your itching?"

"so."

As Gadot spoke, she plunged into the water, and only when bubbles began to rise to the surface did she suddenly surface amidst Eric's comfortable groan.

Her long hair swung upwards, sending countless water droplets splashing onto Eric's chest.

Then, her two long legs clamped around Eric's back and pulled him up sharply, while her arms wrapped around his neck, and she clung to Eric like a koala, asking for a kiss.

The water mist gradually rose, and water droplets splashed all over the ground.

"Eric, here?"

Eric gave a soft "hmm": "I heard that water can reduce pain, so I specifically chose this spot."

"Why do you know so much?"

"Because the doctor told me."

"Really? You're asking a doctor that kind of question? Are you...?"

After a long while, their tongues finally parted, and Eric kissed Gadot's nose: "Are there still so many questions?"

Gadot frowned and hugged Eric very tightly, as if she wanted to melt into his body, her bear-like body almost being squeezed flat.

"Of course there is, and there's even more! Which bastard doctor told you that? It hurts so much, I want to kill him!"

After an unknown amount of time, the two fell into a deep sleep.

He only opened his eyes when he heard someone coughing.

At the bathroom doorway, Judy and Barrefaeli were leaning against either side of the doorframe, smiling at them.

"Good job!"

Judy gave two thumbs-up and expressed her admiration with a strange smile.

Eric brushed Gadot's hair away from his face and opened his eyes with some difficulty; the dim light from just waking up made him feel uncomfortable.

"Judy, Lefari, what brings you back?"

Judy pointed to her wrist: "Boss, it's past 2 a.m. now. Why do you think we came back?"

"Is it already this late? No wonder you fell asleep."

"Wow. Looks like your battle is quite intense." Barrefali pointed to the water stains on the ground.

Teased by her good friend, Gadot nestled shyly against Eric's chest.

Eric waved his hand: "Don't you guys think you should avoid this kind of scene?"

"Is it necessary? Are you going to put on clothes to go home?" Judy retorted.

"Even if we don't go home, let us go back to our own rooms first."

"Alright, alright, you're the boss, you call the shots. Lefari, let's go to your room."

Seeing the two leave, Eric got out of the bathtub, then picked up Gadot and carried her out of the bathroom.

"Whoosh! It's huge!"

Suddenly, Judy's head popped out from the crack in the door, blinking as she spoke, though it was unclear what she was saying.

Rolling his eyes, Eric carried Gadot back to his room.

After drying himself off and snuggling into the fragrant bed, Eric felt a little annoyed: "I don't have any change of clothes. Wearing dirty clothes after a shower makes me feel really uncomfortable. Looks like I'll have to ask Chen Xing to bring me a set tomorrow morning."

Gadot giggled and wrapped her arms around Eric's neck, resting her head on his shoulder: "I'll go buy you clothes tomorrow, and we'll keep a few sets here so you can change them however you like."

"Yes, that's good. It saves us trouble. You're so thoughtful."

Haw!

Gadot snuggled closer to Eric: "Darling, it feels so good to sleep with you. I think I'm falling in love with this feeling."

"That's normal. After all, I'm such an outstanding man, with both talent and good looks. Look at this handsome face; in all of Hollywood, how many male actors can compare?"

Hearing him boast, Gadot couldn't help but burst into laughter: "You've forgotten one thing."

"What?"

"Smooth-talking!"

"Isn't a smooth tongue good? Do you prefer a dry tongue?"

"Hate!"

"One more time?"

"No, it hurts!"

Thank you so much for the 500-coin donation from "Peaceful Mind and Wise Wo"! Thank you, boss!
