Tycoon Actor C502

The celebrities present had been informed about the so-called digital creators—YouTubers and streamers—though while some were aware of "internet celebrities," most traditional Hollywood stars weren't particularly familiar with them.

This led to confusion among several attendees about why Lucas would invite these relatively unknown personalities to an auction where items could sell for millions of dollars. Many doubted whether internet celebrities could even afford such purchases, v...

(3rd Person POV)

Arthur was well aware that his arrival in Babylon City had generated significant media attention, particularly regarding the mysterious aircraft he'd brought with him.

This was completely intentional. Arthur had deliberately showcased his airplane to ensure media coverage, ultimately hoping to capture the attention of specific Persian officials—particularly government figures involved in air travel regulation and tourism development.

His goal was clear:...

After several minutes of careful frying, Alexander finally had a bowl of hot, golden potato chips before him. He pinched a bit of precious salt and sprinkled it evenly over the crispy slices.

Taking the first chip, he popped it into his mouth. Crunch!

The satisfying sound of chips crunching echoed throughout the kitchen—a completely new auditory experience that was both strange and mesmerizing. "Good!" Alexander nodded with satisfaction, immediately reaching for anoth...

Alexander entered the makeshift laboratory—a previously neglected storage space transformed into his soap experimentation workshop.

The chamber contained everything necessary: a large stone slab for mixing, wooden preparation table, small hearth with iron grating, two iron cauldrons, clay pots for lye storage, wooden buckets, and testing bowls. Simple tools lined the workspace—stirring paddle, knives, measuring cups, straining cloth, and both large and small wooden molds lined with...

In their hotel room, High Arbiter Kaiser and Scarlet sat across from each other at a small table, sharing afternoon tea in comfortable privacy.

"I didn't expect your involvement in this film production would actually bear fruit, but it has," Kaiser said with genuine admiration. "Which is quite impressive, I must admit."

The promotional video of Lucas's AMC theater disguise generated significant revenue—around $80,000. While a portion came from monetized views, many viewers actively donated through the link Warner Bros. provided.

The money was already making a real difference for LK Charity's beneficiaries, and the fund continued growing daily.

Lucas, despite his billionaire status, was genuinely thrilled by the results. He found himself wondering if he could collaborate with WB on more underc...

The following day, Alexander's messengers had successfully located both Ranulf and Osmund. It wasn't long before the two men entered Castle Eisenberg with hesitant steps and watchful eyes, clearly awed by their surroundings.

Upon seeing Baron Aldric seated at the head of the Great Hall, they immediately dropped to their knees in respectful terror.

Soon after, Sir Dietrich and Baron Berthold watched as the head chef and servants arranged potato-based dishes on their table. The enticing aromas filled the dining hall immediately.

"Remarkable," Berthold murmured, inhaling deeply. "How can supposedly poisonous food produce such appealing scents?" He studied the steaming dishes with obvious curiosity tempered by caution. "Are you absolutely certain this won't kill us? There have been reports of deaths from consuming these roots."

The audience, especially the elderly Elvis fans, was visibly emotional as the film reached its conclusion. The screen displayed simple white text against black:

"Elvis Presley - January 8, 1935 to August 16, 1977. His life ended at the age of 42."

The stark finality of those dates hit the theater like a wave. Ava's handkerchief was soaked with tears. "This brings back so many memories... It was all just so tragic..."

SMW C22 Word Gets Around

After the welcoming meal, Alexander was summoned to his father's private study. The chamber felt heavy with unspoken tension as he entered to find Aldric seated behind his oak desk, with Reinhard standing grimly at his side.

Alexander immediately understood the gravity of this meeting.

"I've heard from Reinhard about the extensive corruption plaguing Southgate Watch, and how you chose to handle the situation," Aldric began, his tone carrying the weight of baronial authority. "He...

The next morning, Alexander prepared to depart Southgate Watch alongside his escort—Uncle Reinhard, Father Hensfried, and their accompanying guards.

The garrison formed ranks to see them off, most displaying hollow, perfunctory respect. Only a handful showed genuine appreciation for their young lord's visit, including Roderic and several other loyal guards.

Among these was the grizzled sergeant who had praised the potato stew the previous day. He approached Alexander with some...

Scarlet had thoroughly studied the script titled "Legendary Assassin." The story of a retired killer drawn back into his world fascinated her—she'd always wondered what it felt like to be an assassin.

The theater fell silent as everyone prepared to witness the rise and fall of the King of Rock and Roll in American history—Elvis Presley.

But the story wouldn't be told through Elvis's eyes. Instead, it unfolded through Colonel Tom Parker's perspective, with Tom Hanks narrating as the controversial manager.

This narrative choice divided the audience before the movie even really began. Many viewers felt uncomfortable hearing Elvis's story from what they considered an unreliable...

After Ranulf the blacksmith's enthusiastic praise and desperate plea for more mashed potatoes, the reactions that followed were remarkably similar.

Each person seemed to discover the same revelation: the supposed devil's apples were actually delicious beyond imagination.

Reinhard studied his exhausted nephew with wary amazement. He never could have anticipated such a performance from the boy.

For all he knew, Alexander had been nothing but a frail child who could barely lift a training sword. Yet tonight, Reinhard had been forced to resort to a war of attrition—simply outlasting his opponent rather than overpowering him. It was, in some ways, rather humiliating for a veteran knight.
