[Chapter 333: The Secret Was Discovered]
Leaving the White House, Linton felt fantastic. This trip to Washington had been totally worth it. Not only had he gained two incredibly valuable and powerful allies, but the Douglas family, who had always opposed him, no longer required his direct intervention. He just needed to give the word, and he was confident that Bill Clinton and Hillary would handle everything perfectly.
More importantly, he finally had the most loyal spokesperson at the highest political level in the country and was about to secure huge policy benefits and a triple package for his film company.
Besides that, he had acquired an immensely valuable cultivation tool. He was really looking forward to seeing how much it would help his cultivation once Hillary truly rose in political circles.

Next, Linton returned to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Washington, D.C., where he was staying.
True to her decisive character, Hillary moved in that very afternoon, into the Waldorf Astoria Suite right next door to Linton's. Of course, the new suite was just a front -- she didn't even enter her own suite, choosing instead to stay in Linton's.
Linton kept his promise and spent two full days with her.
During those days, Hillary displayed extraordinary stamina and determination, tirelessly going all out.
Nourished continuously by his Essence, Hillary began to regain her energy. The first noticeable change was her skin becoming more radiant; even the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes softened a bit.
She noticed this while bathing and excitedly ran out, grabbed Linton, and shouted, "Master, look! My skin is better, and I look younger!"
"Not bad, you're even more beautiful now."
"Master, is this because you used magic on me?"
"How could you think that?"
"Well, in the upper-class circles of America, there's a secret rumor about a way to reverse aging."
"Reverse aging?"
"Yes, it's speculated that there is some power or medicine that can make women young again and restore their beauty."
"You actually believe that?"
"At first, no one did. But doesn't Madonna serve as a live example? Everyone compared her photos and found she started reversing aging since '91, getting younger and more beautiful every year. Now she looks like she's eighteen again, even fresher and more stunning."
"That could be explained by good fitness, excellent care, and makeup, right? Didn't you hear she gets at least 20 million dollars a year endorsing cosmetics?"
"True, so it's only speculation. But I heard several people pooled a huge fund to launch a research project specifically to study Madonna's youth reversal phenomenon."
No wonder the last time Madonna went for a prenatal check, she mentioned they had taken extra blood during the blood test. Seems like there really was some behind-the-scenes scheming.
"Why didn't you get involved?"
"I don't need to. I have a better method."
"Oh? What method?"
"Master, haven't I always secretly liked you and collected information about you? I already uncovered a deeper secret."
"What secret?"
"It's not just Madonna who's becoming younger and more beautiful. There are others like Sophie Marceau, Cristiana Reali, Monica Bellucci, and Shania Twain. Comparing their photos with those from three years ago, you can see they too have grown younger and more gorgeous -- though less noticeable since they were already at their prime."
"And?"
"Further analysis shows it's not only them, but also Naomi Watts, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Winona Ryder, and Jennifer Connelly -- all getting more beautiful, skin more radiant.
Even Nicole Kidman recently showed similar changes."
"Anyone else?"
"Yes. When analyzing their habits, I found a common factor."
"What?"
"They all share an unusual relationship with you. My people found out they often appear at your estate and spend the night there. Sometimes they stay for several days, and here's the unbelievable part."
"What?"
"None of these top young beauties currently have boyfriends; some had before but broke up. The only man they are close to is you."
"So?"
"I boldly guessed that their rejuvenation is related to you. Plus, the rumor that you're God's envoy capable of magic makes me more confident in my conclusion."
"Go on. What conclusion?"
"You must possess a magic that can rejuvenate and beautify people, and you're incredibly strong and possessive, or else this wouldn't make sense."
Wow, one really can't underestimate people. With just these little hints, Hillary analyzed everything with impressive accuracy. No wonder she later made waves in American politics.
"Master, am I right?" Hillary smiled proudly when Linton didn't respond.
"Not exactly, but not far off."
"Yay, Master, you really have magic? Can I become young and beautiful like Madonna?"
"So that's why you used every chance to get close to me and invited me to the White House."
"That's definitely an important reason, but the main one is that I really like you."
"Alright, I get it. Does anyone else know this analysis?"
"Absolutely not. Besides you, I haven't told a soul."
"Do you think anyone else will discover this secret?"
"Not now, but in the future -- it's hard to say."
"Why?"
"Because the changes in Madonna, Sophie Marceau, and Monica Bellucci are so remarkable, there will surely be many trying to study it. Plus, you have so many women, involving so many people. If someone wants to invest enough time and resources, they'll find clues eventually."
Yeah, I haven't really hidden anything. If someone pays attention, they can definitely figure out the secret.
