Chapter 119 Always Boasting
Amid all the inexplicable publicity, Leander Sterling was considered the most renowned boxing champion in Golden Valley. Even people passing by, with no interest in martial arts, knew who Leander was.
Even elementary school students knew the story of Leander biting ears. For many spectators, Leander was famous precisely because he had bitten his opponent's ear. Historically, people who bit ears tended to be famous, like Van Gogh, who had cut off his own ear.
Moreover, Leander was old and could no longer box, so he went around trying to make money to pay off the debts from his extravagant youth. To make money, Leander traveled all the way to Golden Valley to shoot a movie with a martial arts star. Even more disgracefully, he went on to act in some trashy TV shows, completely tarnishing his once-glorious image as a boxing champion.
Leander fought, bit ears, committed rape, squandered money, and ended up in jail. It seemed there was never a glorious image to begin with.
In short, Leander was very famous in Golden Valley.
Therefore, Lucas first thought of Leander.
However, Skyview immediately denied Lucas' guess.
Skyview replied: [No, no, no, not Leander. He was old and lost his charm, just chasing money now. Pay him and he'll show up. What's the point? I'm talking about that boxer, big mouth, dual champion in featherweight and lightweight, totally different from heavyweight champ like Leander!]
Charles' eyes suddenly lit up with wisdom, and she said, "I know who it is!"
Lucas looked at Charles in surprise and asked, "Who is it?"
"Ulysses Montgomery! The dual champion in UFC's lightweight and featherweight divisions. Think about it, his nickname is Ulysses," Charles said with a smile. "And last year, he had a crossover boxing match with the legendary champion Jasper Hawthorne. Although he didn't win against Jasper, he still made a hundred million dollars! That's an unprecedented figure in the sports world!"
Although Ulysses was not as famous as Leander in Golden Valley, many young people who followed live streams knew about Ulysses, and even girls liked Charles.
With Charles' explanation, Lucas suddenly realized and said, "So it's Ulysses! Boring Surf, you know Ulysses?"
Skyview proudly responded: [Not only do I know Ulysses, but I also have a good relationship with him. Back when I was studying at Wharton School in Evalia, I met a lot of people.]
[Boring Surf actually went to Wharton School in Evalia. It's said that Evalia's President Trump's daughter graduated from Wharton School. It's a place that cultivates the elite of Evalia!]
[Boring Surf truly is a super-rich among the super-rich, with powerful connections!]
Unsurprisingly, the live stream audience believed Skyview's words again.
Skyview had left the impression of being a super-rich person who recharged two billion. Once people started believing Skyview was a super-rich and influential person, they would fill in the gaps for anything Skyview said. Especially since he said there weren't any obvious loopholes, even if there were any, others would help cover them up with some mental gymnastics.
"Boring Surf, your connections are really amazing!" Lucas said in amazement, "Are you sure you want to invite Ulysses over?"
Skyview typed with a grin:[Of course, with my status, I have to invite someone others can't! There are very few people in the country who can invite Ulysses.]
"Amazing!" Lucas said, his face flushed with excitement. "Truly amazing!"
Skyview continued boasting: [Male celebrities are these two, and we should also get some female celebrities, at least two decent ones. Right?]
"Yes, yes, yes!" Lucas nodded quickly. "We definitely need to invite female stars!"
Skyview said, "How about inviting a female singer first? I see that your Shark Carnival will inevitably have some singing performances!"
"Sure!" Lucas said, "That would be great!"
Skyview adressed: [I want this female singer to perform a special song just for you, Lucas. How about that? Am I generous enough?]
"Very generous!" Lucas was so excited he almost jumped for joy. "Which female singer are you planning to invite?"
Skyview asked: [Who's your favorite female singer?]
Without hesitation, Lucas said, "Of course, it's Lillian Stewart. Many of her songs are my favorite!"
