Li Mochen's timely arrival made his agent Edward Jeffries and Mr. Berg Ferguson breath a sigh of relief. They were worried that after Li Mochen's identity changed, he would not appreciate the small money from endorsement fees and would not plan to pursue a career as a fighting superstar.
Went up and down.
Carl Holden also looked slightly relaxed after seeing Li Mochen: "I thought you didn't plan to come to the competition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Wildenstein family."
The incident of changing the heir of the Wildenstein Group has gradually spread throughout America. Many people do not know the truth and have made various speculations, and rumors are flying all over the world.
Some people think that Li Mochen's performance in recent years has been appreciated by the Wildenstein Family Presbyterian Council; others think that the three Cleo siblings initiated a coup, but failed and were eliminated from the top management of the Wildenstein Group; and
There is a legend that he was born after Philip I
Due to illness, he officially retreated behind the scenes, and Kang Xiuli, who came to power, finally revealed his true colors and kicked out the children he had with his first wife. And Andre, the only male descendant of him and his step-wife, was expelled in one fell swoop.
He rose to the position of the first heir in the sequence.
Carl also didn't know the truth, and Dwight kept it secret and did not tell him the truth. However, the changes in the status of both parties were real.
According to the rankings established by some organizations in the underground world, the overall combat power, financial strength and influence of the Wildenstein family are ranked between twenty-five and thirty-five in America. When Philip I was in his heyday, it even touched the
The threshold of the Supreme Family.
As the first heir of this family, Li Mochen's status and power are equivalent to those of a prince from a small country.
"Prince?"
Li Mochen sneered; "Are you deliberately disgusting me, Karl?"
"Now it's said in newspapers and on TV."
Carl Holden spread his hands: "You are no longer the prince in distress, Mo. More people think that your experience is simply a real-life Cinder Prince - the male version of Cinderella."
"so what?"
"Now the outside world's perception of you is becoming polarized. Children from wealthy families are always disliked by common people. This is also the reason why many children from famous families are unwilling to join the fighting world. This makes many people feel a little disgusted with you.
And those who hate you are even more disgusting. But correspondingly, your female fans have become more loyal, especially those girls from the middle class. In their eyes, you are simply their dream, the most ideal in their dreams.
lover."
Karl smiled bitterly and said: "Our people are fully mobilizing the media to portray you as a person who was abandoned by the family, but relied on himself, worked hard, and was finally recognized by the family. However, our opponents do not have the resources in the media.
Weaker than us.Felton·
Williams and Glynn Adams were a blessing in disguise, with support several times higher than before. People expect them to defeat you. Heroes from the common people will step into the quagmire of you, a son of a famous family, and strip away your pride. This is the public expectation.
A drama that is enjoyable to hear and see.”
Li Mochen only exchanged a few words with Karl before he was forced to interrupt. Just because his first game was about to begin, his opponent was named Andrew, who was the state runner-up in North Carolina.
The committee gets a wild card player.
In addition to the eighty state champions, the nhsaa national competition will also issue ninety-six wild cards to players from each state who are extremely powerful but failed to qualify for the national competition. These people will first fight against each other, and then the forty-eight people will win.
The top sixty-four will be determined together with the eighty state champions.
Li Mochen must defeat this person first, as well as the players in the next round, before he can meet Felton Williams in the top 32.
The battle process was lackluster. In three rounds, Li Mochen defeated this classmate Andrew after a hundred sword fights, scoring 15 points in total, which took about 20 minutes and 40 seconds.
Two days later, his next competitor was the same as Andrew, with one hundred rounds of 'fatal blows', and was defeated by him after a total of 300 rounds, taking 19 minutes and 12 seconds.
This opponent's overall strength was slightly stronger than Andrew's, but when they fought, his mentality was a little more impatient, so the time was shorter.
However, before and after the game, the two stands were filled with boos and boos. This made Li Mochen clearly realize how much his status as the first heir of Wildenstein had brought to his road to fighting superstardom.
Obstacle.
His agency was actually able to help him sign two major endorsement deals with Skywalker Sports Drink Company and Cadila Pharmaceutical Company under such circumstances. It was really difficult for them to do so——
"Don't pay too much attention to these spectators, Ah Mo, after all, Los Angeles is the west coast of America. And you are a fighting superstar from the east. It's no wonder they like you. This is Williams' home court. You need to care.
It’s the popularity and influence across the country.”
After the second round, Li Mochen's exclusive agent, Berg Ferguson, paid no attention to the roar of curses in the stands: "The current situation is better than we imagined. Regarding your game, it is still NHSA national
The highest ratings among all events in the competition
The rate is twice that of other fighting stars. The products of Naison Group and Elizabeth Cosmetics have once again exploded in sales, and there are many people supporting you. How can I put it? In terms of purchasing power, your fan base has crushed those stiffs.
(pauper)."
"The situation is also getting better now. According to our survey, many people are changing their attitude towards you now. Those are real fighting fans."
The person who said this was Karl, who looked solemn: "According to the investigation conducted by our company, it should be that in the competition with you, I have never used strength and speed that exceeds that of magic professionals of the same level, and I have always won with skills.
This has made many senior game commentators and retired celebrities praise you highly.
Because you have truly master-level fighting skills, the swordsmanship you used in the competition were very subtle and practical, and were able to defeat the strong with the weak. This also made your ratings in the second round of the competition higher than
It improved by 1.5% in the last round, and many fighting fans are paying attention to your swordsmanship itself."
Li Mochen had known about this situation for a long time.
After these two games, this can be seen from the sales volume of his book "The King of Wrath". The five volumes published so far have all had a small explosion, and the sales have increased by two to three times each.
Millions of copies.
"But the next step is the key. You must defeat your opponent in the next round, Felton Williams, simply and beautifully. Otherwise, you will become a joke among all Americans. And before that, this
Mr. Williams is fully prepared."
Karl's face was solemn: "There are legends that this guy has entered the eleventh level and been promoted to an outsider. And his overall strength is even enough to compete with those powerful outsiders of the seventeenth or eighteenth level. So you are in the game of several bookmakers.
The odds are not good either, they are now 3.27, and the bet on you winning in 100 rounds is 70.2, and no one has placed a bet yet."
