America is in control

Chapter 158 Steamed prawns and dinner to thank the donor
When Lucas failed in his last big gamble, he changed his name and started hiding.

Those people and forces who had been tricked by Lucas sent their men to secretly hunt him down.

After moving around many places, he escaped to Luzon in an extremely secretive way.

Luzon was an American colony for 49 years, and there are many descendants of American soldiers left there.

As a Nico, Lucas was not too out of place among this group of half-black and half-white guys. He successfully hid it.

After a while, the wind was not as tight as before, and the few coins Lucas had brought with him were almost spent.

In order to live a free and happy life again, he fell into his old ways and resumed his old activities.

Lucas's behavior of grabbing business soon aroused the hostility of the local gangsters, and the two sides had several conflicts.

The result was surprising. With his ruthless methods, he killed several guys who dared to challenge him.

This incident attracted the attention of a local boss, who took Lucas under his wing and made him the underboss.

On this day, Lucas took a few minions to the famous local bathhouse to enjoy some Massage.

After completing a set of procedures, he took his younger brothers to take a bath, and then went to a separate sauna room to steam in the sauna.

The steam in the sauna slowly became thicker and the temperature began to rise.

Gradually, Lucas realized something was wrong. The temperature in the sauna room was so high today.

He immediately called to his younger brothers and asked them to go and see what was going on.

A boy turned the door handle, only to find that the sauna door could not be opened.

Lucas panicked instantly. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, trying to get his younger brothers to break out of the door and escape.

But for a while, there was nowhere to find a handy tool. In desperation, Lucas could only take off the towel from his waist.

Wrap a hot stone in a towel and smash it against the door.

But everything he did was in vain, the sauna door didn't budge.

After repeatedly smashing it several times, Lucas and others' strength was exhausted.

The temperature in the sauna room began to soar sharply, and they were like overripe prawns, their whole bodies turning red.

Screams rang out one after another, and they began to bang on the door frantically, without stopping for a moment.

As the temperature in the sauna reached its peak, no sound came from inside.

Lei led a few people and left the bathhouse quietly without attracting anyone's attention.

When Liu Jiang heard the good news from Lei, he almost jumped three feet high with joy.

Lucas, this bastard, finally went to see God, and the hidden dangers left over from the last boxing match were finally completely resolved.

There's no better news than this!
Liu Jiang was pacing back and forth in the living room excitedly. There was really a lot of good news coming out these days.

The stocks that I hold for a long time have all gone up very well, and Netscape, a short-term investment, has also performed extremely well, with its stock price hitting new highs repeatedly.

New Caesars Sporting Goods' quick-dry clothing has found its way into two college football teams in hot climates.

Jacobs said the feedback from those players has been great, and he's looking to expand the quick-drying clothing to more college football teams.

He even contacted the management of an NFL team. He believes that it won't be long before football players in the NFL (American Football League) will wear quick-drying clothes and ride on the field.

As for the New Caesar Investment Company, according to the person in charge, Chris, Pier's attitude has begun to loosen.

I believe that after a while, he will be able to persuade Pier to start a business.

Liu Jiang's weight gain plan is also going smoothly, and his studies have not fallen behind.

Since joining the crew of "The Island", he has gained a deeper understanding of the producer's profession.

There is also good news that the politician he funded, Francis Underwood, successfully won the position of House Majority Whip. Frank invited Liu to attend a dinner he hosted in Washington, DC, to thank his donors, and the latter readily agreed.

This is General Liu's first appearance in the center of American power, and he is fully prepared for this.

Wearing a slightly old-fashioned black suit, Liu Jiang appeared at the dinner venue to thank the sponsors with a mature and steady look.

Frank and Claire were standing at the door of the banquet hall to greet the guests.

Claire was wearing a white strapless deep V evening dress, with a standard smile on her face and soft eyes with a hint of pride.

She wore a dazzling pearl necklace around her neck, and crystal clear diamond earrings set on her small earlobes.

She has slightly sharp short blond hair, light makeup, and flaming red lips.

Frank wore a black suit with a white shirt and a black bow tie around his neck.

His face was red and full of energy, and his specially designed hairstyle made him look high-spirited and full of fighting spirit.

The same standard smile hung on his face, with a big aquiline nose, sharp eyes, and a few crow's feet faintly visible in the corners of his eyes.

Claire caught sight of the upright Liu Jiang at a glance. A flash of brilliance flashed in her eyes, and the smile on her face became brighter.

He nudged Frank next to him with his elbow to give him a hint.

Frank's sharp eyes swept over and stopped on General Liu, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

At this time, General Liu also saw Mr. and Mrs. Underwood standing at the door of the banquet hall.

He quickly stepped forward and said hello, "Hey, Frank, congratulations on your successful election!"

Frank stretched out his hand and shook General Liu's hand, then patted him on the shoulder.

"John, thank you for your support. I couldn't do this without your help!"

"Similarly, I would also like to congratulate you for successfully unifying the welterweight titles of the four major organizations."

"Our respective careers are moving towards glory step by step!"

The two looked at each other, smiled, and complimented each other a few more times.

Liu Jiang turned to look at Claire, "Mrs. Underwood, your beauty lights up the entire night sky!"

Claire smiled implicitly, nodded slightly, and slowly raised her right hand.

No! Come again!

Without any hesitation, Liu Jiang held up the other person's delicate hand, leaned down and kissed the back of her hand.

This time Claire didn't show anything strange.

"John, I haven't seen you for a while. You seem to be getting stronger?"

Claire's eyes met Liu Jiang's, and she said softly.

"I am gaining weight and preparing to challenge for a higher weight boxing title."

Liu Jiang smiled and replied to the other party without any dodge in his eyes.

At this time, another guest came towards the door of the banquet hall.

General Liu was very sensible, nodded to Mr. and Mrs. Underwood, and walked into the banquet hall.

Under the guidance of the waiter, he came to a table in the corner of the banquet hall, where his seat was.

As a young Karami, it was of course impossible for him to sit in the front row, and Liu Jiang knew this very well.
