The Lasting Impact of Saitama

Los Angeles.

As soon as Hellfire Club's private plane landed, Li Chen saw a dark-skinned flight attendant approaching with her phone.

"It belongs to the White Queen."

She looked at Li Chen with a respectful expression.

Li Chen nodded and took the phone. The flight attendant naturally bent down to help Li Chen tidy up and put on his shoes.

Li Chen was already used to this kind of service.

At first, he felt a little nervous and awkward.

But after getting used to it, you realize... it's really good to be rich.

To put it bluntly, who doesn't like the feeling of others going to great lengths to please them?

So Li Chen figured it out: becoming famous isn't a bad thing, as long as he can ensure his own safety.

"Have we arrived in Los Angeles?"

The voice of the Emma Frost Vers, came through. "We must meet."

Li Chen, who was her ally, said, "No problem, but you'll have to wait until I'm done."

There's no rush.

Emma Frost laughed and said, "The relationships at all levels have been smoothed out. You just need to go through the process once, and no one will make things difficult for you."

The Hellfire Club is now attracting increasing demands from the wealthy and politically active, leaving even Mutants struggling to keep up.

Fortunately, Emma Frost Vers possessed Mind Stone sensing, and these political figures were unknowingly influenced by her.

However, she dared not act recklessly, otherwise it would be a disaster for the Hellfire Club once these people realized what was happening.

Thank you, Emma Frost.

Li Chen expressed his gratitude.

Through this experience, he also realized his own shortcomings.

No wonder Hollywood companies are eager to be acquired by media giants; having powerful backers is extremely important.

You may not need it, but you can't live without it.

Fortunately, the Hellfire Club has enough influence.

Afterwards, Li Chen and his entourage quietly exited the airport and got into two cars.

"Ram and Rem, you two go back first."

Li Chen addressed them and then headed to the company.

They got into a bulletproof SUV; it was Li Qianhuan, whom they hadn't seen for two days.

"Boss, why didn't you call me for something this important?"

Li Qianhuan became somewhat excited upon seeing Li Chen.

The events in New York shocked the world, even having a significant impact on the Mutants community.

Although Mutants possess mutant abilities, most of them are not very strong; they are only slightly more powerful than ordinary people.

So the monster in New York shocked them; they didn't think they were capable of dealing with such a huge creature as the Abomination.

At that moment, Saitama appeared and crippled Abomination with a single punch. Abomination's bewildered state afterward is still making headlines.

Compared to other Mutants, Li Qianhuan knew more about the 'insider information'.

My boss is absolutely amazing!

Li Qianhuan, who already admired Li Chen to some extent, also harbored inexplicable feelings for him.

Seeing the look of envy in her eyes, Li Chen sighed at the advantages of being famous.

Humans admire the strong, and women especially so.

"Alright, let's drive."

Li Chen interrupted her 'fantasy,' and Li Qianhuan finally came to her senses.

She quickly started the car and took Li Chen back to Starlight Pictures.

For the time being, Starlight Pictures is still using MGM's offices, located near Beverly Hills.

Li Chen had expected to see his employees looking distracted.

But upon entering, they found everyone extremely excited.

How could they not be excited? What they were creating was becoming a reality, and the impact of that was unimaginable.

Just as if Sun Wukong were a real person, he would cause a frenzy on the other side of the ocean.

"Boss!"

"The boss is back!"

Upon seeing Li Chen, a chorus of voices immediately erupted.

A chubby employee mustered up his courage and asked, "Boss, Saitama really exists, so is his training method really effective?"

The matter was brought up again.

Li Chen smiled and said, "Only he can do it."

"Oh!"

A voice filled with regret rang out.

Who wouldn't want to be a superhero?

"That's something I made up; it actually puts a lot of strain on the body."

Li Chen certainly didn't want to see his employees skipping work every day to go exercise...

After exchanging greetings, Li Chen arrived at his office and immediately summoned Harry Sloan.

Harry Sloan also wore an expression of awe.

He hadn't disrespected Li Chen before, but he did have some other feelings about him.

But now, it has turned into respectful deference.

People are all bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong.

Li Chen didn't care, he simply instructed, "I need a personal assistant. Find me one under the name of Starlight Pictures."

"Yes, boss. What are your requirements?"

Harry Sloan immediately asked.

"A woman, young, beautiful, and sensible..."

Li Chen said several times in a row, "Just give the information, I'll conduct the interviews myself."

After all, they need to be a personal assistant, so reliability is the most important thing.

Of course, Li Chen wouldn't entrust truly important matters to outsiders.

Harry Sloan understood and then went downstairs.

Let's go.

Afterwards, Li Chen met with the legal team hired by the Hellfire Club.

After all, you have to meet with many departments, so having a lawyer can help avoid making mistakes.

America lawyers have the ability to distort the truth.

For example, the infamous Simpson wife-murder case had a profound impact across the United States at the time.

For example, in China, a judge might say, "Why should we support something you didn't create?"

From then on, people's morals and ethics regressed by several hundred years.

What should have been a society where everyone helps each other and is full of love has instantly become something else entirely.

The impact of the Simpson wife-murder case was many times worse. Since then, the America public has lost trust in the judiciary, believing it to be a "judiciary for the rich" that does not protect ordinary people at all.

This social impact continues to this day.

And what enabled them to do this was the skill of their defense lawyers.

Therefore, America lawyers are a bunch of devils; they'll do anything for enough profit.

Moreover, the law is a complicated thing that ordinary people simply can't understand.

This is an artificial, deliberate increase in the barrier to entry, designed to keep it incomprehensible to ordinary people; otherwise, how would lawyers make money?

For the next few days, Li Chen went to various departments every day.

Accompanied by his lawyer, he remained silent, because anything he said could be distorted and used as an attack against him.

This is where the lawyers come in; once they get paid, they'll take care of everything for Li Chen.

Ultimately, Los Angeles was helpless, and as the hype died down, the impact on Li Chen gradually disappeared.

Because in Hollywood, there's never a shortage of news.

Especially big stars, they are very useful to high-level officials. Just like Leonardo, whenever there is a social hot topic that has a negative impact on certain people, his scandals will spread all over the world and attract everyone's attention.

This tactic of using celebrities' influence to divert public attention is almost always effective.

All I can say is, those who know, know.

More than half a month later, Li Chen no longer needed to go and returned to his normal life.

After all, they didn't dare to push Li Chen too hard; what if Saitama flipped the table?
