America Tycoon: The Wolf of Showbiz-Chapter 856 - 835: You Should Be a Hero
In the morning, the contestants left the hotel and headed to the television station for rehearsal.
In the hotel conference room, Bruce selected a few representative photos from the ones he had just obtained and pinned them one by one on the whiteboard.
Martin, Alexandrovich, Lebrov, and the head of security Dmitro sat on either side of the meeting table.
The latter introduced, "The car and person who contacted Olga were photographed by our people at around half-past ten last night. The tracking of Nokia and the car was taken by Mr. Davis' bodyguard at ten o'clock last night."
He looked towards Bruce, who picked up a carbon pen, circled two key photos, and said, "The same car, driven by the same person, appeared in both encounters, it's very clear. The ones stalking Nokia and intending to swindle the contestants are the same group of people."

Alexandrovich asked, "People from Los Angeles?"
"No matter if they are from Los Angeles or Washington, now they want to mess with our cake!" Lebrov said fiercely, looking at Martin, "We need to chop off the hands that they've reached out!"
The television station director obviously did not understand Martin's style and thought he was an honorable big star.
Martin slowly began, "Regarding these people, I had my subordinates in Los Angeles look into them. They engage in drug dealing, male and female services, party organizing, and film investments, the first three are their main business, and the film investment is probably for laundering money. In Hollywood, this isn't much, as long as taxes are paid in full, generally no one will trouble you."
Lebrov didn't quite understand Martin's meaning.
Martin continued speaking, "On the male and female services, they find ways to scout people from all over the world, using similar methods to this case, which involves human trafficking. Human trafficking is also a serious crime in Ukraine, isn't it?"
Lebrov suddenly understood, "Right, these bastards should be thrown into Ukraine's black jails, and never see the light of day again!"
Martin thought further, "Following this line, we might catch more people." He looked at Alexandrovich, "Are you interested in becoming a Ukrainian hero?"
Alexandrovich was taken aback, pointing to his nose, "Me? A hero?"
Lebrov began to ponder.
Martin added further, "In 'Servant of the People,' you play a hero, don't you want to be such a hero in real life?"
Alexandrovich was stunned, like a hero in a TV series? A national hero like Martin? What actual benefits would there be? What could it bring for the future?
Martin also said, "These people definitely swindle more than just our crew; there must be others. By exposing these scumbags, personally investigating and grasping their whereabouts, assisting the television station and the police to dismantle the gang, and rescuing some compatriots, you will be a Ukrainian hero."
Lebrov, being in media, immediately thought of the advantages, "With that, the ratings for our finals and the second season of 'Servant of the People' will definitely explode!"
Fearing Alexandrovich's refusal, he said, "I have reliable contacts at the Security Service, cooperation with us is absolutely no problem."
Suddenly faced with pressure, Alexandrovich hesitated for a moment.
This exceeded his current capabilities. He had never considered such a sudden transition from a star to a heroic figure. Wasn't it too hasty?
Martin said softly, "Don't you want to do something for Ukraine? This identity will also be beneficial for your ideals."
Alexandrovich nodded subconsciously.
Lebrov, for the sake of ratings, fully supported Martin, "Martin makes a lot of sense, if you want to do more, you can't accomplish anything without status and position; even if you stand up to speak, no one will listen."
Alexandrovich knew this was the truth.
Although he wasn't tall, he had his own aspirations, and at this moment, he finally made up his mind, "If necessary, I can be that hero!"
Martin snapped his fingers, "Then the rest is simple."
Lebrov realized that Martin couldn't be simply treated as a celebrity. Being able to stand out in Hollywood, becoming one of the few top actors, and even influencing the political realm of America, he was not to be underestimated.
He said, "Martin, give the orders on what to do."
Martin thought of the FBI's best practice of fishing, "Since these people belong to a gang, let's use some bait to draw them out, as long as we catch their slip-ups, with your Ukrainian experience and capabilities, it won't be difficult to pull them out from a thread, right?"
Lebrov grinned and said, "Very easy."
Martin said, "Let's use Nokia as the bait, Alexandrovich, you communicate with Nicky, think of a good way."
Having decided to be a hero, Alexandrovich was no longer hesitant, "Leave it to me!"
Lebrov said, "I'll also go contact people."
He and the security chief Dmitro were the first to leave the meeting room.
Alexandrovich looked at Martin, somewhat agitated, "Boss, I don't know how to thank you for your help."
Martin appeared casual, "You also bring me great benefits."
Alexandrovich nodded firmly, knowing how to repay the boss.
He said, "I won't disappoint you."
Martin looked at the still somewhat naive future village chief, "Do what you think you want to do, in your heart."
