Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

"Hey, Taylor, over here!"

Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive, an outdoor café.

Taylor heard someone greeting her from the second-floor terrace, picked up her sunglasses to take a look, and saw her good friend Blake Lively waving at her from above. She handed her shopping bags to her assistant, Emily, and headed up to the second floor.

Today, the second floor of the Italian cafe was reserved for private use, with only a group of celebrities sitting on the terrace, chatting over coffee.

This included Hollywood actress Blake Lively, popular young actress Christine Stewart, pop icon Katy Perry, Emma Roberts, supermodel Du Chen·Cole, and a few of their boyfriends chatting on the other side.

"Hi, Taylor!"

Everyone greeted her as she arrived.

Taylor was more familiar with Blake, Katy Perry, and Du Chen·Cole.

She knew the others as well.

Emma Roberts was the niece of the famous star Julia Roberts, and Christine Stewart had become an overnight sensation last year with the movie "Twilight."

All of them were quite popular stars at the moment.

"Taylor, why didn’t you bring Link along? Were you afraid we’d steal him away?"

Blake Lively teased as she pulled Taylor to sit down.

Everyone laughed.

Taylor also smiled slightly. Indeed, one reason she didn’t bring Link was that these women were not simple, and Link was quite tempting to others; it was safer to be cautious.

She glanced at the gentlemen around the corner and said with a laugh, "You didn’t tell me we could bring our boyfriends. I thought it was just a girls’ get-together."

"Haha, exactly, it’s our ladies’ turf, so they can only sit over there,"

Blake Lively called out to the men over there.

Blake Lively, a hot Hollywood actress at the age of 22, born into a family of Hollywood actors, rose to fame with the movie "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" in 2005, and she currently stars in the hugely popular TV series "Gossip Girl." She is quite popular in the circle, and she initiated this gathering.

Blake, tall and beautiful with a distinct mole on her side profile, was well-recognized.

Taylor had met her last year, and they often got together, ranking near the top in their circle of friends.

"What’s everyone talking about?"

Taylor took her coffee and asked, crossing her long legs.

"We were talking about your boyfriend!"

Christine, without even lifting her head, replied. Her golden bob haircut, mouth with a lollipop, her legs on the table and playing games on her cell phone, seemed as if she’d come not to hang out but to play games in a different setting.

Blake Lively and the others gave her a helpless look; although they were indeed talking about Link just now, was it really appropriate to say it out loud in front of Taylor?

"Link? What about him?"

Taylor asked, unconcernedly smiling.

Blake laughed, "We were saying how amazing your boyfriend is. He’s the world boxing champion, crossed over to become a singer, and his album sales reach three to four million—better than top singers. It’s said that he wrote those songs himself; it’s really incredible."

"I love that song ’Despacito’ the most. Every time I hear it, I want to dance; the rhythm is just so great."

Emma Roberts swayed her shoulders, a pink earphone hanging around her neck.

"Taylor, Link said in the news that he learned to play guitar and piano from you. Is that true?"

Katy Perry, in a white tank top, her chest also looking heavy, asked.

Taylor glanced at her chest and couldn’t help thinking of another busty woman, feeling secretly annoyed.

"Yes, Link is really slow at learning music. I taught him for several months before he could play the guitar."

"Really? He could write songs like ’Despacito,’ ’Dream It Possible,’ and ’Unstoppable’ even though he’s that slow?" Katy Perry seemed incredulous.

Taylor shrugged her shoulders, "He has great talent, learns very fast, and has an amazing sense of music, even better than me."

"Got it, your boyfriend is a genius, truly enviable,"

Blake Lively praised, linking arms with Taylor.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"You weren’t talking about that just now; you were discussing how great Link is in other aspects."

Christine suddenly spoke up while still playing on her phone.

The scene suddenly quieted down, the air filling with awkwardness as it spread.

Even Blake Lively, accustomed to large gatherings, couldn’t help but blush and feel immense regret. Knowing Christine Stewart was a conversation killer, why had she invited her? It was like setting a time bomb at her own party.

Blake Lively glared at Christine Stewart, who was sucking on a lollipop and engrossed in a video game, completely oblivious to the glare.

Taylor blinked her blue eyes and said nonchalantly, "He really is impressive in that area; it’s no secret, so it’s okay to talk about it."

"Haha, I told you Taylor wouldn’t mind. It’s normal for girls to talk about these things when they’re together,"

Katy Perry laughed.

Blake felt helpless; it was Katy Perry who had brought up that topic first.

She even said she had personally asked Amber about it—size, duration, KO—the topics were particularly explicit.

Seeing everyone’s interest in the matter, she hadn’t stopped it.

Who would have thought Christine would blurt it out in front of Taylor?

She glanced at Christine angrily again, looking for an opportunity to change the subject. She started talking about fashion, perfumes, beauty, and movies, trying hard to steer the conversation away from the awkward topics.

After struggling for half an hour, the atmosphere around the coffee table became lively again, with everyone chatting and laughing as if they were close sisters.

"Oh! Look at this."

Suddenly, Christine, who had been quiet for a long time, exclaimed again.

Blake Lively’s heart skipped a beat, fearing the little imposter would blurt out something inappropriate again.

Christine took the lollipop out of her mouth, removed her earphones, and pointed at her phone screen.

"Link has released a new song, it’s really good. You guys should listen; this song is definitely the best he’s written,"

"Where?"

Taylor asked, surprised. She hadn’t known about Link releasing a new song today.

"Link has joined Twitter, there’s a video link on his profile,"

Christine explained.

Everyone took out their phones and quickly found Link’s Twitter account.

Link’s Twitter account was newly registered.

Taylor was surprised to see that he already had 217,000 followers, and as she clicked follow, the figure jumped to 231,000 followers, increasing by thousands every second.

Link’s Twitter had only one post.

It said, ’I am very sorry for the recent occupation of public resources. I see many people in the media demanding an apology from me. I am willing to apologize, but first, give me a reason. Tell me what I did wrong, what I said wrong, why apologize, and to whom?’

Below this tweet was a link to a YouTube video.

Before clicking the link, Taylor looked at the comments.

Most were accusatory and abusive; some demanded he apologize to Kanye, others demanded he apologize to all dark-skinned communities, saying his statement ’they think because the current president is African American, America has become a black world’ had hurt the dignity of the African American community and he must apologize.

There were also many comments supporting Link, claiming he did nothing wrong, and that those people were being too aggressive, urging Link to stand firm and not to apologize.

Taylor was taken aback after reading through the comments.

These past days, when she was at home, she either wrote songs in her room or spent time with Link practicing piano and playing guitar, rarely reading newspapers or browsing the internet.

And Link’s daily routine of jogging, training, piano practice, cooking, and reading was just like before, so calm that it made her think nothing was wrong, completely unaware that things had become so serious.

So give me reason to prove me wrong, to wash this memory clean

So give me a reason, prove it’s my fault, clear all memories

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Let the flood cross the abyss in your eyes

While Taylor was reading the comments, suddenly, a powerful and passionate voice filled her ears, loud and forceful, as if yelling at the sky with questions, making her scalp tingle.

"This song is amazing, Link, I support you,"

Emma Roberts held up her phone, her eyes reddening as she shouted.

"Link is so cool, he’s the coolest man I’ve ever seen,"

Katy Perry said unabashedly.

Taylor looked at both of them and, curious, clicked the video link.
