Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

Leaving the recording studio, Link pondered over Graham's suggestion.

Graham said he was only twenty years old, the right age for college, with time to take classes at a nearby school to enrich his spiritual world.

When Link first heard Graham's suggestion, he shook his head repeatedly. He was a world champion boxer and a millionaire. Did he really need to go to school? What a joke.

But on the way, he gave it some careful thought and realized the suggestion might be feasible.

Firstly, both he and Link lacked a high level of education, which was a fact.

Back when he was boxing at the gym, he envied those students who could calmly sit in classrooms, play with their phones, date, have money to spend without getting hit, wear branded clothes, and live carefree lives as if in a utopian world.

Unfortunately, he never had the chance to experience it, which was one of his life's regrets.

Now that he had both money and free time, should he also try that kind of life?

Moreover, a cultured idol, a cultured World Champion, would present a more positive public image, and the fans' support would also increase.

Take the current WBC-WBO-IBF world champion Klitschko brothers, for instance, both of whom have Ph.D. degrees from Kyiv University and are called 'Dr. Iron Fist' and 'Dr. Steel Hammer.'

Link thought that if he also had a doctoral title, it would be quite an interesting story to tell.

"I'm thinking of going to a school to study, what do you all think?"

On Christmas Day, at the Gomez family's dinner table, a feast of delicious food was spread out, with a large, steaming turkey in the center. Link sliced a small piece of turkey, put it in his mouth, and said.

"Study?"

Lady Catherine and Lady Mandy across the table lifted their heads to look at him, expressions somewhat surprised.

"Link, have you lost your mind? You're a World Champion boxer and you want to go to college?"

Selina lifted her head, blinking her big eyes at him.

"I'm considering it."

Link shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've got nothing to do lately, and I read a few bestsellers, only to realize there's a lot I don't understand. I think maybe I should find a school to recharge my batteries."

"That's a really great idea, Link. The fact that you've thought of this proves that you're even better than all of us imagined," Mr. Adam Gomez said, leading the support.

Catherine nodded in agreement, "You have the money, time, fame, and status to do anything you want, and studying is indeed a good choice."

"Link, what college do you want to go to? You're an Olympic champion, a World Champion boxer. I bet any college in the United States would welcome you."

Lady Mandy asked.

"Link, go to Harvard, I hear it's full of nerds there," Selina suggested mischievously.

Link shook his head, "Harvard isn't suitable for me. I work quite a lot and can't spend all day on campus studying. Going to a top institution would only bring embarrassment. A normal school is just fine."

"That's fine too. I wish you a happy college life," Catherine said with a smile, raising her glass. Stay tuned for updates on empire

"Link, enjoy your studies!"

The others raised their glasses to congratulate him as well.

"Thank you!"

Link said with a smile.

Ms. Mandy set down her wine glass and looked at Selena beside her, "Selena, you also need to study hard at school and strive to get into a top-tier university in the future."

"What?!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Selena, who was drinking juice, immediately choked and looked at Ms. Mandy with confusion in her eyes, "What does Link going to school have to do with me?"

"Link is so outstanding and he's even considering further education. As his younger sister, shouldn't you learn from him?" Ms. Mandy said.

"I can study music and acting!"

"No, attending classes at school is very important, too. This semester, no more skipping or being absent without leave, otherwise, I will consider ending your work at Disney prematurely," Ms. Mandy said seriously.

Selena scowled, her little round face crinkling up, and she gave Link a secret kick under the table, muttering softly, "It's all your fault. It's Christmas today; wouldn't it be nice to talk about happy things? Why bring up studying? It's so annoying."

Link laughed, "You don't like studying?"

"Of course, I don't. Only nerds like to stay in school all the time. And I lied just now, actually your college plan is terrible, the worst plan I've heard in 2008," Selena said, waving her little fists angrily.

Link chuckled indifferently, "Remember how you wanted me to write you a song? If you get a B+ in every subject at high school, I'll write you a few more."

"Really?"

Selena exclaimed excitedly.

The song Link wrote, "Dream it possible," was amazing. After its release, many professional magazines rated it as one of the best motivational songs of the past decade, and the accolades for Link were very high, saying he was an extremely talented creative artist.

It was said that many people were seeking Link out for songs. Selena also wanted to be a singer and really wanted Link to write a song for her, but Link was too busy, and she never had the chance to bring it up.

Today, since it was Christmas and Link seemed in a good mood, she took the initiative to ask him. Link said that creativity needed inspiration, and he would have to wait.

"Okay, I will study hard, I promise to get at least a B+ in every subject."

Selena patted her chest confidently as she spoke.

Link nodded with satisfaction, feeling pretty good about being a brother.

But Selena grinned, revealing a round dimple, and chuckled to herself; her grades were already fine, and getting B+ would be a piece of cake, plus she would get a few songs from Link for free, which was fantastic.

Link must be Santa Claus in disguise.

After Christmas, Link flew to Los Angeles for the audition of the movie "Fighter" and met the main creative staff of the crew, screenwriter Scott Silver, lead actors Christian Bale, Amy Adams, and others.

It wasn't until he got to the crew that he found out the director had been replaced.

The new director was David O. Russell, a filmmaker from New York who had directed action movies like "Three Kings" and comedies like "I Heart Huckabees." He was a well-known Hollywood director, though not as famous as Darren Aronofsky.

The original director, Darren Aronofsky, had become the executive producer, the overall manager of the entire movie project.

Before coming for the second audition, Link spent three days memorizing all his lines and used a song as a bargaining chip to get Selena to rehearse with him.

Thanks to his thorough preparation, along with the support of producer Darren, Link's second audition went relatively smoothly.

It went relatively smoothly because he ran into Mark Wahlberg at the audition, whose performance was also quite impressive. Apparently, there were some disagreements within the crew, with some supporting Link and others backing Wahlberg.

Link had thought there might be some changes to the role, but in the end, he still received a call from Darren Aronofsky.

Director Darren told him to prepare quickly as the movie would start shooting around March or April, and also invited him to serve as the boxing action coach for the film.

Link happily accepted.
