Supremacy Games

Felix left the stadium under the thunderous cheers of the audience over having such a dark horse as their champion.

The audience never hated cheering for the underdogs, even if they lost a bet on the process.

He immediately took a cab towards the Gambling Den to transfer the coins to his bank account.

15 minutes later...

He exited the den with an even wider grin than he entered with before.

Without further ado, he started his investment plan by heading to the Teleportation Company, planning to pay a visit to the Oblivion Film Studio, the production company responsible for producing the movie Human Melodies.

He didn't want to waste any more time since only one month was left before the official release of the movie.

Therefore, his investment opportunities on the movie had already shrunk to a large degree, leaving him only with marketing and s.

But that was enough for him, as he knew that the more spotlights were on the movie, the bigger the reception would be.

In turn, the words would spread quicker about this hidden gem, making it a blockbuster movie much faster than in his previous life, when it took at least a month before it truly drew the attention of everyone in the Alexander's Kingdom.

This way he would return his investment capital plus a windfall of profits after it goes viral everywhere much earlier than expected.

After a while, he reached the teleportation company and paid the fees to pass the queue this time.

He walked inside the device and clicked on the destination he planned to head to. The Studio was in a different city after all.

Two hours later...

Felix sat in a coffee shop, wearing a business suit, and drinking bloodish thick coffee that had a soul capturing aroma.

Felix took a small sip with closed eyes in contentment, then said composedly to a bearded man sitting in front of him, "Sir, I know that your movie had some difficulties during the production period." he began mentioning some of them using a finger for each problem. "Investors pulling out, actors losing faith during the filming, cut scenes leaked by your own staff, and much more."

Felix closed his spread-out fingers into a tight fist and said passionately, "But you managed to pull through all of them. Sure it was a difficult process that drained all of your budget, but still, you did it."
