He dissapeared for 13 years and then reappered as a adventurer searching for dinosaurs in Costa Rica. Two years later, he dubbed himself a promoter and all the newspapers talked about him.
One day a scandal about a shapped monkey disguised as an alien caused he was dubbed as a fraud, but he has nothing to do with the scandal. No one believed him anymore and he had to sell his mansion. At his worst moment, an idea came to changes his luck "A long distance horse-ride", the one thing he wasn`t able to do in the cavalry. He searched for sponsors without results. Not having eaten in days and severely drunk he sat by the edge of the street,he was interrupted by a little girl who was listening to his mumbling. She was none other than Lucy Steel.
Lucy came with the idea of a race across the entire american continent with a winning prize of 50 millon dollars. He scolds her for that idea and returned to the bar, got in a fight and fell sleep behind the urinals. The next day a group of people surrounded him and asked about the cross-continental race, willing to sponsor it.
