Chapter 532: Demagoguery and Purification of the Soul
In the master bedroom on the second floor, Elizabeth Olsen entered the cloakroom, took out a brand new Brioni suit, and handed it to Martin, who followed behind.
"Do you want me to come with you?" She asked.
The cloakroom was spacious enough, and Martin changed into a suit in front of the dressing mirror at the door: "Tomorrow you are going to fly to Europe, accompany your sisters to prepare for Milan Fashion Week, and stay at home tonight to rest." “
He put on a blazer, and Elizabeth came over to help put on the bow tie, and deliberately said, "Afraid that I will join Scientology?" ”
Martin said, "You are the saint of the Cult of Cola, and you can't be abducted by Scientology." ”
"Or I'm trying to brainwash Tom Cruise's wife, Katie Helms." Elizabeth, of course, was joking, and she dragged out a large suitcase and packed her luggage.
Martin got dressed, put on a Cartier men's watch, and seeing that it was still early, he helped Elizabeth.
Elizabeth said as she packed her clothes: "I'll be in Milan for a while, I forgot to tell you that I invested in my sisters' fashion brands and am now the third largest individual shareholder of 'The Row', so I'm busy working on the brand. “
Martin deliberately said, "You're still a little rich woman." ”
"Your aura hangs over me." Elizabeth turned her head and smiled very sweetly: "Because of you, my advertising endorsement fee is very expensive." ”
Martin remembered that the Olson sisters had done a lot of business and said, "Do your sisters still accept investment? I can lend you a sum of money first. ”
Elizabeth put away her smile and said seriously: "I'm afraid that my sisters will fail, and I won't be able to do it in the future." ”
Martin was direct: "It's okay, you can pay it back in another way." ”
Elizabeth laughed again and turned to pack her bags.
Around the same time, Martin went downstairs to meet Bruce and Mene, who had come over on purpose, and drove a Cadillac to Tom Cruise's house, which was also in Beverly Hills.
The two sides are not far apart, and Tom Cruise's mansion occupies a hill on its own.
At night, the lights illuminate the entire mountain.
Cadillac came to the entrance, Bruce showed the invitation, the security personnel opened the iron gate, and the car drove uphill for a few more minutes before coming to the parking lot.
Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes came over to greet them.
Martin was escorted out of the car by Bruce and Mene.
Cruise smiled and shook Martin's hand: "Although it's a little late, I still want to congratulate you on winning the Cannes Best Actor." ”
"Thank you." Martin also smiled: "Tommy, thank you for your help." ”
Both are speaking as Hollywood stars.
Cruise officially introduced his wife, Katie.
Martin also introduced Bruce and Mene.
The two walked towards the mansion together.
There weren't many people at the party tonight, and Tom Cruise introduced Martin one by one, and some of them knew Martin as well.
John Travolta, who has dealt with the Cannes Film Festival, football stars David Beckham and the Victorian couple.
I don't know it, but also well-known figures in the entertainment industry, such as Elvis Presley's daughter, singer Lisa Presley, young actress Elizabeth Moss, and so on.
It's all Scientology members, or members that Scientology wants to develop.
Cruise led the way and headed for the staircase.
Up the main staircase leading to the second floor, a middle-aged man, dressed in a gray suit and with a large Jewish nose, slowly descended.
The man walked down a bit, stopping to stand on the third flight of steps, noticeably taller than the others, and scanning the living room with a downward gaze.
His eyes finally fell on Martin.
It seemed to be waiting for Martin to take the initiative.
Martin stopped early, seven or eight meters away, and looked at him unhurriedly.
Cruise noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and looked at Martin: "Come here, introduce someone to you." ”
Martin stood still.
Since he agreed to Cruise's appointment, Martin would of course prepare in advance and know who the middle-aged man on the other side was waiting for him to take the initiative.
At this moment, he is not a Hollywood star, but the leader of the Coke God Cult.
Of course, Martin's idea is not overly complicated.
Isn't it just a comparison? No one is afraid of the sect leader with tens of millions of believers!
The pan-faith of the Coke-theological cult is also a faith.
Cruise had no choice but to introduce: "Martin, this is the chairman of the board of directors of the Scientology Technology Center, David Miskieveki. ”
Martin nodded slightly.
Mene stepped forward and said, "I am Mene, the High Priest of the Cult of Coke, and this is Martin Davis, the leader of the Cult of Cola. ”
Cruise then remembered that Martin had another identity.
David Misskei, the successor to Hubbard, the founder of Scientology, made a gesture to Martin and stepped down the steps.
Martin walked towards him as well.
The two shook hands at each other's center, exchanged polite words, and then went into the living room together, sitting on two single sofas side by side.
This is a conversation between the Master and the Master.
It's kind of like sitting and talking about the Tao.
Others sat down in the seats around them.
This is not quite what David Miskieweki had envisioned, and he would have liked to take in a large group.
But the other party showed the carriage and horses, and told him with a practical attitude that the two were equal in status and were all the masters of one sect.
David seems to have an excellent personal demeanor and temperament, as if he was a natural leader.
But when he spoke, he was like a magic stick: "For more than a year, my soul power has been feeding back to me that there is a very important St. Taky in the world, who has appeared in Los Angeles, and he has cleared away his sins, but he is also contaminated by sin and needs to be purified urgently. “
Martin didn't say anything, and didn't seem to understand.
David said, "When Tommy told me about you, I knew that St. Taky was you, and after seeing you today, I am sure that you have been tainted by evil in the process of expelling evil, and if you do not purify it in time, it will cause your soul to be abnormal." ”
In this theistic society, things like the soul can be very demagogic.
The CEO said: "Purification will stimulate your soul power, so that you can achieve sublimation, and your mind will open up to the whole universe, and the earth will be destroyed one day, and the sublimation of your soul will allow you to continue to travel the universe after the destruction of the earth." ”
Everyone who belonged to Scientology, including Tom Cruise, was nodding.
Martin heart said, can you brag about it? Then blow it together.
Scientology has developed for decades and established a sound theory, and Martin, a scumbag, must not be able to compare, so he simply borrows it.
"Thank you for your kindness, there is no need for purification." He said lightly: "The Coke God Cult has its own protection. ”
Martin is sitting in a precarious position, handsome and mature, indifferent and proud in temperament, in terms of personal appearance, he is much better than David.
He said calmly: "The belief of the Coke God Cult, on the top of the peak of the universe, there is a large palace, the owner of the palace is a great god of heaven, and he also has twelve righteous gods, each of whom has his own supernatural powers, and my soul has traveled in the middle of it, and has been recognized and helped by them. ”
David shook his head: "The power of the world comes from the soul of the individual, and Scientology uses science to purify and activate the flexible power of people, so that people can realize their self-worth, and Tommy is one of the representatives." “
This is Scientology's biggest propaganda weapon, and Tom Cruise immediately answered: "I have suffered from severe dyslexia, and after joining Scientology and receiving purification, dyslexia does not heal itself, and I am now here." ”
Martin smiled slightly, of course the cow couldn't blow halfway: "Before I was twenty years old, it was just that the Atlanta slums were mediocre, no, the slums were good-looking poor boys, and they had nothing." ”
He said nonsense: "One day, I dreamed of Tianzun, and he asked the two righteous gods under him to open up my talents, one is in charge of art, and the other is good at fighting, and since then these two aspects of me have become extraordinarily prominent. ”
David has seen Martin's resume, from a penniless poor boy to a Hollywood A-list star and a national hero of the United States in just a few years, it is simply a living American dream.
Why do slum workers with no education, no ability, and no background achieve such success?
Just this good-looking appearance?
David subconsciously believed Martin's words a little.
Martin added: "The first time I was a student, I was a gangster, I was a Russian spy in Washington, and last year a dozen trained Russian spies attacked me. What will be the result when a normal person meets them? ”
David blinked, although he didn't believe it, but he felt that Martin's words did make a little sense.
Martin's tone was understated: "I have never been a soldier, I have not experienced military training, why do I have such skills?" Because my talent for physical combat has been strengthened! ”
Tom Cruise and others also think Martin has some point.
It's almost impossible for ordinary people to do what happened to Martin.
Of course, they will not waver in their faith.
But the Beckhams, who have focused on Scientology's development in recent years, are different.
They felt that what Martin said was more reliable than Scientology.
That Heavenly Venerable God may be another incarnation of God.
After Martin finished bragging, he told the truth: "Under normal circumstances, how many years does it take for a sect to develop tens of millions of followers? It took a few decades for the millions of followers of Scientology to be founded, and less than four years after the establishment of the Cult of Cola. ”
David suddenly realizes that the party that was supposed to absorb Martin has turned into a debate, and he has lost.
He wanted to regain the decline: "The Coke Cult is a commercial sect, a pan-faith. ”
Martin couldn't help but laugh: "If I'm not mistaken, Tommy introduced you as a board chair?" ”
Tom Cruise, a stalwart of Scientology, took the initiative to solve the siege: "I prepared a sumptuous dinner, let's go to the banquet hall?" ”
Martin was the first to stand up: "It just so happens that I'm a little hungry." ”
Tom Cruise led the crowd into the ballroom, and Katie Holmes let the maid serve the meal.
David Miskieweki is much more at peace this time, and no longer has to purify other people's souls at every turn.
After dinner, Martin offered to take his leave.
The Beckhams then took their leave, leaving the car park to catch up with Martin.
