Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 606 - 452 Two Women Chatting_2

Link remembered she had only changed her clothes two hours ago.

"Dear, where are you going?"

"On a date!"

Ivanka put on her sunglasses, the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

"Taylor agreed to meet?"

"Mhm!"

"How about I take you there?"

"No need, Taylor said he's annoyed by you, and I feel the same."

Ivanka brushed off his hand, kissed him on the face, and drove off in the red Ferrari F60, roaring away from the villa.

Link touched his chin, stood by the driveway for a while, then went back to the villa's training room to exercise.

He could have gone to the Muscle Beach Club to work out, but it was the weekend, and he wanted to stay at home with Ivanka, so he set up the training area in the villa.

The villa's gym also had barbells, pears, sandbags, which made training very convenient, lacking only the atmosphere and sparring partners of a training field.

Moreover, training at home gave the club boxers a break, reducing some of their mental stress.

In the past, those guys had followed him in training for over six hours a day, and after a month, one suffered serious muscle damage due to overtraining, six had minor injuries, and a bunch developed a psychological shadow, despising boxing training.

Because of this, Hoyle suggested building him a separate training area, to isolate his training space.

Link agreed.

The separate training area would probably be finished by next week, and he would be able to train there from then on.

For this, he had invested a million in Muscle Beach, becoming one of the shareholders of the club.

"Hey, didn't you guys invite Link?"

On Rodeo Drive, at the Alfred's Coffee, Leonardo walked in, looked at the few buddies sitting there—Tobey Maguire, Woody Harrelson, James Franco, Tom Hardy, and their female companions.

This was Leonardo's first time joining friends for a gathering after finishing filming "Django Unchained" and returning to Los Angeles. Along with him was his new girlfriend, Emma Miller.

"No, he just came back from Huaxia, and I think he'll be staying at home these days, so I didn't bother him,"

said Tobey Maguire with a smile.

"You're really considerate of him, I just saw him in gossip news this morning on a date with Miss Dadalio. A playboy like him, how could he need rest."

Leonardo took out his phone and sent a message to Link, but got no response.

The group began to play cards, Texas Hold'em, not for high stakes, just for a few tens of US dollars. Playing cards for gambling was also one of the most common networking methods among Hollywood stars.

According to a survey report by the Los Angeles Times last year, there are thirty-two well-known poker clubs in the Hollywood entertainment circle.

The entry qualifications for the clubs vary; some require introduction letters from more than two official members, others have annual fees of over ten thousand US dollars.

Besides poker clubs, there are also wine clubs, cigar clubs, golf clubs, cannabis clubs, horse racing clubs, and even more secretive ones such as gay clubs and swingers clubs, to name a few.

These clubs are not only for leisure and entertainment but also platforms for exchanging information and resources. Some people who couldn't get roles in casting offices have been able to secure them here.

Tobey Maguire, Leonardo, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Matthew Perry, and others are all poker experts.

Ben Affleck won against over ninety experts in the 2004 California Poker Championship, taking home a prize of $356,000, and was banned for life from Las Vegas's Hard Rock Casino in 2007 for alleged card counting.

Tobey Maguire is also a veteran gambler, participating in the Poker Championship in 2004, but losing to Ben Affleck. Earlier this year, he won over $300,000 in chips in a private poker game in Hollywood, only to be later sued by a group of investors because the money was ill-gotten.

The other clubs, too, had their unique ways to play, and almost all Hollywood stars were members of these clubs.

Leonardo was a member of over fifty clubs, so many that he could hardly keep track, but today's card game had nothing to do with club activities; it was just a few men who were bored after shooting films and sat down to play cards and chat.

"Has Link joined any clubs?"

Leonardo suddenly asked while checking his cards.

"Muscle Beach Club, I heard he often trains there,"

said James Franco.

"Is it a fitness club?"

"It's a professional boxing training field; I've trained there,"

Tom Hardy commented. He had trained there for a month last year while filming "Warrior," but Link was on tour in Asia at that time, so they hadn't met.

"Link doesn't smoke, drink, or play cards; it seems that other than boxing, he doesn't have any other hobbies."

James Franco laughed.

"A beautiful woman, that's definitely his favorite,"

Leonardo interjected.

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Leonardo, you could introduce Link to your model club, he would probably like it there,"

said Tobey Maguire with a chuckle.

The model club is an establishment that introduces female companions to Hollywood stars, and Leonardo is a seasoned member, with two companionships formed through the club's channels.

"I'll try,"

Leonardo said nonchalantly, although in reality, he didn't plan to introduce Link to the club because the guy was just too competitive. Inviting him in meant that the good girls in the club would all be charmed away by Link, which was something Leonardo did not want to see happen.

"Oh!"

Tobey Maguire looked toward the middle aisle of the coffee shop, somewhat surprised, and said, "It's Miss Thomp, does Link also come here for coffee?"
