American Gossip King

Chapter 13 He's a madman

Although Ian was eager to get to the passionate part after the speed, he clearly missed his best chance – if the two had left directly after escaping last night, Ian and Kate should have reached the milestone of sleeping together by now.

However, Ian gave it up for the sake of the news.

Ian had no regrets about missing this opportunity.

As long as you have money, you'll never lack beautiful women.

I drove back to the newspaper office first. By then, most people had already left work, but Editor-in-Chief Lloyd was still there.

Ian explained the work to him before going home.

Before he even entered the house, he saw Mrs. Antel looking at him.

The money from CBS had just arrived in his account. Ian had already withdrawn the money, so he took out a thousand dollars from his pocket and gave it to Mrs. Antell.

Mrs. Antel beamed, "Well done, Karl. I hope you don't mind my previous attitude."

Ian shook his head slightly: "It's my responsibility that I can't repay the money on time. I have no right to make a fuss about it."

Mrs. Antel's eyes lit up: "You're starting to understand, child."

A person who is willing to pay back their money is a good person!

She gave Ian a hug through the fence.

After struggling to escape the bear hug of his neighbor, Ian returned home.

Mrs. Carl was sitting in the house and was very happy to see her son return.

She rushed over and hugged her son: "I saw the news, Ian, how could you take such a risk?"

Ian gently kissed his mother's forehead: "It was just a coincidence. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry too much."

Mrs. Carl was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.

My son has really matured; that's wonderful.

She walked into the living room, wiping away tears, exclaiming, "Oh my God!"

Ian asked, puzzled, "What's wrong, Mom?"

"Don't bother me, let me cry for a while, I'm so happy!" Mrs. Carl shouted.

Ian: "..."

After dinner.

Ian sat in his room, looking at himself in the mirror.

The number of dissemination points continues to grow steadily, accompanied by an improvement in Ian's X-ray vision ability.

Ian soon discovered that his eyes would get tired after a few seconds of seeing through things, but now he could sustain that for a significantly longer period of time.

very good!

Standing at the window, Ian looked into the distance.

The old man across the street lives alone. His grandson is probably out playing, and he's watching porn and entertaining himself.

Why are you still having fun at your age?

Ian turned to look at the other side, where Aunt Antel was making dinner in the kitchen, muttering something to herself.

A car was parked not far away, and a couple was kissing each other inside. The woman looked somewhat familiar.

Ah, it's Chloe!

Ian changed direction again, and a beautiful woman walked by on the street.

Ian's gaze pierced through her torn clothes and fell upon her alluring body, arousing him involuntarily.

Fake!

It's best not to use this ability on the street in the future, since the fifth limb can sometimes be truly out of control.

However, it would be inappropriate to say that it is never used on the streets.

For a journalist, the two most difficult things are getting news.

First, there are clues, which requires a lot of connections. For example, some paparazzi cooperate with the police. Once the police receive a case briefing, they will immediately notify the cooperating paparazzi, who will then quickly launch their operation.

Secondly, there's the filming itself. Sometimes, even if you get clues, it doesn't mean you'll get the content.

With his newfound X-ray vision, Ian Carl no longer has any problems obtaining clues, at least not in terms of clairvoyance.

He can see many people's secrets; all that's left is to acquire them.

Of course, considering that seeing through things consumes pupil power and restoring vision will also consume experience points to some extent, it is not appropriate to go all out without restraint. It is best to be targeted.

Ian muttered, "So that's why you gave me X-ray vision? It's not for gambling, it's for uncovering privacy, for digging up the dark, ugly side of this world..."

Then he smiled and said, "I like it!"

………………

Kate was woken up by a phone call from her agent the following day.

As expected, CBS has published extensive reports on further details about Charlie Mills, which has cleared her name, and she has received congratulations from all sides.

Everything went exactly as Ian had predicted; her agent shouted excitedly on the phone:

"This is an opportunity, Kate! You must seize it. I've spoken with Touchstone Pictures, and we all agree that you should use this opportunity to create a scandal with Ian Carl. This is Pearl Harbor's opportunity, and it's your opportunity too!"

Lying in bed, Kate sighed softly, "He really is a prophet."

The latest novel is first published here!

The agent was stunned: "What did you say?"

"It's nothing, are you sure it's just a publicity stunt?" Kate asked.

The agent chuckled, "Of course, you'd better not actually fall for that kid; he's not good enough for you!"

The agent's tone carried a peculiar arrogance—"Our Kate is going to be a big star!"

Ian Carl? Just a lucky kid.

Kate smiled.

I would never fall in love with that madman!

But thinking that he had actually predicted all of this, Kate was shocked by Ian's quick thinking and became even more speechless.

She lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Ian Karl, what kind of man are you?

………………

In the following days, news about Charlie Mills and the riverside villa shooting continued to break, and the matter was finally unveiled from its original veil of mystery.

The video of Ian interviewing the injured gangsters on site caused an uproar among all the viewers.

"Fuck! Is Ian Carl a monster? He actually interviewed a wounded person on the spot, completely disregarding the fact that he was about to die!"

"But don't you guys find this interesting? I've never seen a live interview like this before."

"Who exactly is Ian Carr? And what is the Los Angeles Herald?"

"That's a crazy reporter."

"He's definitely a madman. He doesn't value his own life, nor does he value other people's lives."

"But why do I like him so much?"

"Because he brings us joy. Look at the look on that guy's face when he heard Ian was going to interview him, it was hilarious."

"And Kate Beckinsale's expression sitting in the car was absolutely hilarious. This isn't an escape, it's clearly a kidnapping by a reporter!"

"She was completely stunned; she'd never seen anyone like that before."

"I love her expressions so much, I hope she can have a performance like that in Pearl Harbor."

"I think that's difficult, unless Michael Bay is willing to send some real bombers to bomb her."

"She's so beautiful. I'm starting to understand why Charlie Mills is so crazy about her. I wish a man would be just as crazy about me."

"Forget it, woman. Your only hope is that you have money, and then you can achieve what it means to be kidnapped."

"I like Ian Carl!"

Why would you like that lunatic?

"But he's really cute, isn't he? And a handsome guy at that!"

Public discussion arose, and Ian and Kate Beckinsale also gained sudden fame.
