American winner takes all

Chapter 440 Troika
In the morning, when Ethan stepped into the office of Storm Models, he was greeted with flowers and applause.

Adriana Lima held a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Ethan personally. Then the staff behind her twisted the fireworks in their hands, and suddenly colorful ribbons flew around.

At this time, Sarah followed out of the elevator and saw the staff here with smiling faces. She couldn't help but clearing her throat to remind everyone that she had not left yet.

Angel Agency has begun to reorganize, but Sarah will still be in charge of the modeling business in the future, and it is likely that the staff in front of us will still be her subordinates.

Ethan looked around at the people coming to greet him.

Karolina Kurkova, Alexandra, Adriana, Heidi Klum, Tyra Banks, Isabel Goeller, Ethan glanced at several models with whom he had a good relationship and who were on the rise.

As for the models originally in Storm Model Agency, most of them are not as famous as those mentioned above. Even Monica Bellucci is currently filming a movie in the United States.

In other words, all the models Storm Models can show off are Ethan's people. No wonder Sarah Douglas chose to "make peace". She did not have enough confidence to confront Ethan.

As one of the three pillars of Angel Agency, the modeling business still seems a little thin to Ethan.

Entering the office, Ethan asked Sarah to increase recruitment.

"In the future, Angel Models will set up branches in South America, North America, Western Europe, and Eastern Europe to recruit local young girls with potential. Model selection competitions will be held every year in the future..." Ethan said.

"In the short term, we need a suitable scout to discover them. You will be responsible for Western Europe, Kate Moss will be responsible for North America, and South America..."

"You thought of Dilson?" Sarah asked tentatively.

"Yeah, he's quite suitable, isn't he?" Ethan said.

It was thanks to Dilson that Ethan found Gisele and Alexandra Ambrosio.

Dilson has been working in Brazil, a major model-producing country, for a long time and has extensive experience in this area.

Sarah nodded, sharing a similar view as Ethan: "What about Eastern Europe?"

Most of Sarah's scouts are active in Western Europe and don't know much about the local situation in Eastern Europe.

In fact, Eastern Europe is the largest production area of ​​models. Without a suitable person in charge there, a modeling agency simply cannot maintain its competitiveness.

Ethan pondered for a moment, and when he mentioned the name, Sarah immediately shook her head and refused.

"Are you crazy to let a troll be a talent scout? We will be laughed at."

"But he has discovered Christy Turlington, Milla Jovovich, Sharon Stone, and Angie Everhart. He has a very keen sense in this area. As for his 'hobbies', it's time to abandon them," Ethan said.

The name he just mentioned was Jean-Luc Brunel, Epstein's lackey and the model agent who almost attacked KK.

"As long as you can make him obedient, it is not a bad choice, provided that you can do it and you must find him." Seeing Ethan was so persistent, Sarah was afraid that he had made up his mind, so she followed suit.

"He's missing?"

"That's right, since Epstein was put in prison, he seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth."

"He does have a keen sense of smell." Ethan laughed.

This was not a problem for him. Ghislaine Wexner had known Brunel for many years and would certainly find a way to contact him.

·
In a certain African country, in a desolate and secluded manor.

"Pia!" Crisp slapping sounds came from the wooden house.

"Damn mosquitoes." Brunel said gritting his teeth as he looked at the bite marks of varying sizes on his arms.

He dreamed of leaving this godforsaken place, but reason told him that if he returned to Europe, he might be handcuffed at any time.

As for America, lacking sufficient protection, it was even more dangerous for him.

So he took out all his anger on the young black girl who was tied to the bed, insulting her as he went along.

"You are a slave I bought with money, I can do anything to you!" Brunel pulled the other's braids and began to take off his pants with his other hand.

When he was halfway through his work, the ringing of the satellite phone startled him again.

He beat the "primitive" slave he had bought a few times and picked up the satellite phone.

"Really?" Brunel asked with a smile on his face before he even heard a few words.

"He can really guarantee my safety?!"

·
A few days later, Brunel in a suit and tie appeared opposite Ethan. Compared with the last time they met, Brunel seemed nervous. He kept looking at the door and window, as if he was about to escape from the emergency exit at any time.

"The charges you face in Britain and France will soon enter the evidence collection phase again. Next month you will officially become an American citizen." Ethan placed his hands on the table.

As one of the heroes who helped the BDW family regain the throne, Ethan's current status is extraordinary. Even the NFL has temporarily stopped attacking him, so it is natural for him to protect a Brunel.

The accusations Brunel faced came from pressure from a big shot. If he could deal with that big shot, Brunel would be safe.

"I gave you safety in exchange..."

"I know what to do, sir. I will treat you with ten times more enthusiasm than I did towards Epstein. I will give you everything you want." Brunel said quickly. He knew that the young man in front of him might be his only support.

"Besides that, you also know what you should and shouldn't do."

"I need to... recruit models for you?" Brunel was stunned for a moment, then said with sudden realization.

"Not for me, but for the company. Of course, there may be no difference between the two for you."

"I understand." Brunel nodded blankly, not knowing whether he had misunderstood the specific meaning of "recruitment".

“As for what you shouldn’t do…” Ethan groaned.

Brunel grinned, his smile somewhat ambiguous: "I won't do anything to make you unhappy. At most, I will just pick up some of your leftovers."

"Since you refuse to change your ways, I don't mind putting you in jail again. I will find some suitable cellmates for you. They will like middle-aged men like you who are delicate and tender." Ethan narrowed his eyes.

Brunel was so frightened by these words that he shook his head and said tremblingly, "I dare not do it again. I will not touch any of them in the future."

Seeing that the conversation was bearing fruit, Ethan began to mention more details.

Epstein invested and established MC2 Models, which was operated by Brunel, and was directly acquired by Ethan. Brunel would be stationed in Eastern Europe for a long time, and all local team members would be appointed by Sarah to prevent him from messing around. So far, the modeling business, one of the three carriages, has been basically built.

In terms of performing arts talent agency business, the Angel Cheerleading Team can contribute to Ethan's performance in the long term. Last year's draft brought Ethan a top lineup of hardworking sister + Blake Lively + Megan Fox, and this is just the beginning, which makes Ethan look forward to this year's draft even more.

The last carriage is the sports talent agency business, which Ethan regards as his core business.

Ethan just won the championship, but because he is too busy to handle everything, he is willing to take on fewer commercial endorsements than in previous years. Apart from him, others including Kobe and Peyton Manning have accepted more and more commercial advertisements in recent years.

Not to mention, Ethan has already planned for the future.

Tennis queen Maria Sharapova won the junior championship last year and has started participating in professional competitions this year. It won’t be long before she will come to the fore and be noticed by the world, thus starting a brilliant professional career.

And the Beckhams, their commercial value is self-evident.

And…Tom Brady!

Even though he is still unknown this year, he will become a top star in the NFL in the future.

By then, the Angels Agency will have three quarterbacks on its hands, and relying on the fame of the three, it will be able to sign many competitive young players, and eventually become a dominant force in the NFL agency field. In theory, it can continue to extend to the other three major leagues.

Not to mention, Angel Agency itself has a monopoly on all LFL contracts, so it is no exaggeration to say that it makes a fortune every day.

I wonder what major competitors like Elite Modeling, CAA, and IMG think when they hear about Angel Agency.

But there is one thing Ethan can be sure of, his opponent will never sit still and wait for death.

Therefore, we should take advantage of this precious time to grow quietly...

·
Just as Ethan was thinking about the future in Storm Model's office, a sports car roared into the parking lot.

"I'm late again. I missed the visit of the new boss last time. This time I have to show up in front of him no matter what. Maybe he will like me. That's Ethan O'Connor!" The Brazilian model named Susanna Werner put on the powder puff box. This was the third time she had touched up her makeup in ten minutes.

"Hey! Susanna, you can't climb into his bed! Please." The man who was driving looked particularly painful.

"What does it have to do with you? If I remember correctly, we broke up two years ago, and you are married now, and your wife is about to give birth. You come to me at this time to spend the night, aren't you afraid of being seen by the paparazzi?" Susanna whispered.

"Of course I'm afraid, but compared to that, I don't want to be away from you. When I think of you in London, I can't help but want to come to you. You make me addicted, my dear." The man driving the car grabbed the female model's arm and kissed the back of her hand.

After listening to the sweet words, Susanna's expression finally relaxed. She was the wife of the future Brazilian goalkeeper Cesar. However, as early as the end of the 20th century, she had a two-year relationship with another top striker in the Brazilian national team. She was considered a master who conquered both the strongest spear and the strongest shield of Brazil.

Just as Susanna was about to get off the car, she suddenly saw several security guards walking out from the stairwell. These security guards stood separately, monitoring the surrounding area from a 360-degree angle. Then came several female secretaries with graceful figures and beautiful faces. They formed a second human wall, and the person they surrounded was Ethan O'Connor!
"He's here! He looks so impressive! He's so handsome." Susannah couldn't help but whisper through the glass.

"Is it really that necessary?" the man driving the car muttered. He thought Ethan was being pretentious.

"Who isn't a champion?" he then muttered.

Come to think of it, he won the World Cup at the age of 17, while Ethan O'Connor was still picking up girls in high school.

Before he could say anything, Susanna rushed out.

At the same time, Ethan's bodyguard also discovered the uninvited guest. Ethan then looked at the person driving the car. He was shocked when he saw him.

Daluo!!!

Ethan was shocked. He never expected to meet him here.

He didn't even care about the security personnel around him and rushed straight towards the sports car.

Susanna originally thought that Ethan had seen her, so she quickly straightened her clothes and prepared to greet Ethan who was approaching. However, she was ignored by Ethan the next second. When she turned around again, she realized that Ethan was heading straight for Ronaldo Lima who was driving.

Speaking of which, Ronaldo and Victoria's Secret model Adriana have the same last name, but the two have no connection.

Next, Ethan opened the car door in front of everyone.

Ronaldo was stunned by such enthusiasm, but he quickly got out of the car and shook hands and hugged Ethan.

Ethan noticed that he seemed to have difficulty moving his legs.

"I've had recurring injuries in the past few years and I haven't played much in the past two seasons." Ronaldinho said helplessly.

He was at the peak of his powers at the time, but a leg injury ended his career for three years.

"You'll be back on the field and take back everything that belongs to you." Ethan winked at him.

He was referring to the 1998 World Cup, when Ronaldinho seemed to be sleepwalking in the final. Many people firmly believed that it was a fixed match, and the debate has not stopped until many years later.

Now that he had met the man in person, Ethan asked him questions directly on the spot to satisfy his curiosity.

"There is no shady deal. I just got infected with malaria the day before the game, it's that simple." Ronaldinho put his hands on his hips and whispered.

"So, that's your girlfriend?" Ethan looked at Susanna next to him.

"That's..." Daluo didn't dare to admit it. In fact, he was cheating on his wife.

Susanna also took the opportunity to introduce herself.

Seeing Daluo's hesitation and his concern for Susanna, Ethan thought for a moment and realized something.

"I'll give Susanna some extra resources." Ethan suddenly said very readily.

"In addition, I would like to invite you to join Angel Agency. We attach great importance to sports talents and will assign you a dedicated assistant..." Ethan approached Ronaldo and whispered, "For example, this Susanna."

Daluo was not a deep-thinking person. Everything he was thinking was reflected on his face. He was immediately delighted, but then he shook his head and said, "This has nothing to do with Susanna."

"That's right. After all, she's just an extra. Shouldn't you consider your future? This injury has made you lose too much. Whether you admit it or not, this injury has become a turning point in your career. If you don't find a suitable new team, you may never be able to return to your former peak form."

"Do you want to be responsible for my transfer? I have been in Barcelona and Inter Milan. I don't want to go to the Premier League team. The competition there is too fierce..." Ronaldo refused.

"I didn't tell you to log in to the Premier League." Ethan shook his head immediately.

At that time, there was a club that was preparing to build a "Galaxy Battleship"...
