Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion

In September, as East Asia gradually entered autumn, the sunshine in Los Angeles was still as brilliant as midsummer, with a clear and cloudless blue sky.

Link stood at the airport, looked up at the sky, and amidst the tremendous roar, a Boeing 747 almost grazed the terminal building as it flew eastward.

Perhaps his body had acclimated to the environment of Los Angeles, for when he stepped off the plane and set foot on this land, he felt a bit more relaxed, and the tiredness from the past few days seemed somewhat alleviated.

When he put on his sunglasses and walked out of the terminal with his working team, Ms. Mandy came up to meet them ahead of time and told him that many reporters wanted to interview him about his world tour and asked if he wanted to accept?

Link considered it for a moment, and he didn't refuse.

As a public figure, without media promotion, there was no traffic, and thus no market.

Even though dealing with media was taxing, he still had to treat it as a priority task.

Upon reaching the airport's forecourt, a group of around forty to fifty media reporters, including many photographers, approached him.

"Mr. Baker, welcome back to Los Angeles. Could you share with us any gains from the Asian leg of your world tour?"

The reporter from the Los Angeles Times shouted with a recording pen.

"There were many gains, the greatest of which was certainly gaining a lot of lovely fans. Although we speak different languages and come from different cultures, music knows no boundaries. We are delighted that they like my songs, which will also be a motivation for my creation. Furthermore, I got to see many Asian cities, beautiful natural scenery and a variety of delicacies..."

Link talked to the reporters at ease, discussing fans, the humanities and culture of the Asian region, as well as its music and singers.

"Mr. Baker, shouldn't your greatest gain be meeting a lot of Asian beauties?"

Suddenly a reporter shouted from the crowd.

Ha ha ha!

The reporters burst into laughter at once.

Link looked at the reporters with their various odd appearances, shook his head helplessly, and thought that despite his travel fatigue, he patiently answered their questions, only to receive mockery and teasing in return; these reporters really had no scruples.

"Mr. Baker, according to Asian media reports, every time you visit a region, you are linked with the local popular actresses. How do you manage to do that?"

The American Express reporter shouted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will explain this one last time here. During my Asian tour, because the schedule was very tight, I stayed in many cities for less than two days. That scandals are still rumored afterwards clearly indicates that the media are creating fake news to attract attention; it is not worthy of comment.

Additionally, gentlemen of the press, the weather is quite hot, and my time is limited, so please focus your interview questions on the tour. I will not answer any other questions."

Link warned sternly.

"Mr. Baker, a recent news report by South Korea's KBS television stated that South Korean superstar Ms. Jun Ji-hyun has broken up with her boyfriend and it's believed to be related to you. Just yesterday, Jun Ji-hyun's boyfriend claimed during a media interview that their breakup, aside from work reasons, was somewhat related to you. How do you intend to explain this?"

An Asian reporter with a 'Korean News Agency' badge on him shouted.

Link didn't explain, nor did he wish to explain.

After his tour in Huaxia ended, he led the team to South Korea for a concert tour. What he didn't expect was that before he even arrived in South Korea, rumors about him and Jun Ji-hyun were already swirling around, suggesting that the two developed feelings for each other while filming in Huaxia, becoming very close and possibly living together.

Later, someone revealed that he had learned Korean from Jun Ji-hyun, which is true. During an interview on a KBS program, when the host asked him about this, Link gave an affirmative answer, explaining that he only studied Korean with Jun Ji-hyun during breaks from filming.

Subsequently, a KBS reporter interviewed Jun Ji-hyun, who praised his language aptitude as very good and his learning as quick. She said she was happy to be his Korean teacher.

When the reporter asked if they were still in touch and whether Link, who was holding a concert in South Korea, would be invited to try Korean cuisine, Jun Ji-hyun confirmed that they were friends and inviting him to a meal was appropriate.

After both of them had clarified, the media rumors lessened somewhat. However, just three days later, news broke out about Jun Ji-hyun breaking up with her boyfriend.

What was originally a simple celebrity breakup story became sensationalized by the Korean media for more attention. They unscrupulously dragged Link, who was conducting concerts, into the drama, turning a breakup into a scandalous love triangle complete with an international romance, which created quite a stir.

During his concert tour across South Korea, Link was asked about the rumor every time he accepted media interviews, despite his many explanations, but the media still clung to this conspicuous story.

He ended his South Korean concert tour earlier to return to the United States, partly to avoid the scandal, but unexpectedly, he was asked about it again as soon as he got off the plane.

In response to the journalists' questions, he could only emphasize once more that his relationship with Miss Jun Ji-hyun was purely platonic, with absolutely no other issues.

Miss Jun Ji-hyun's breakup with her boyfriend was also unrelated to him, and he stated this would be the last time he publicly addressed the matter and would never respond to such questions again.

Seeing that the group of journalists was uncooperative, he had no desire to continue the interviews and had Ms. Mandy block the journalists, announcing the interview was over.

"Mr. Baker," a journalist stated, "there are rumors that Ms. Taylor Swift might be pregnant. Are you the father of the child, and will you two reconcile because of this?"

"What?!" Link stopped in his tracks, surprised, as he was about to leave.

"Is that true?" he asked.

"When did this happen?" he inquired, looking at Ms. Mandy while on the business vehicle.

Ms. Mandy handed him a newspaper, the Hollywood Reporter with today's front-page headline stating 'Country Music Queen Taylor Swift Suspected of Being Pregnant.' There was a side-profile photo of Taylor in the article.

Wearing sunglasses and a loose, polka-dot long dress, carrying a bag, she entered a recording studio with the protection of bodyguards and assistants.

From the figure, her silhouette seemed fuller than before, and she walked slower, appearing like a pregnant woman.

Other media speculated that during the release of her third album, Taylor always wore loose-fitting clothes rather than the standard t-shirt and jeans. The Hollywood Reporter posted twelve recent photos of Taylor's outfits in the article. In eight of the pictures, she was wearing dresses, and in the rest, the clothes were also looser at the waist.

Furthermore, the Hollywood Reporter pointed out another piece of evidence—during the promotion of her third album, her public appearances were significantly fewer than during her second album's promotion, and each appearance was very brief.

In conclusion, the Hollywood Reporter speculated that Taylor was pregnant.
