The Wolf of Los Angeles.

The Curse God Cult has only one leader. Brian wants to turn things around? Impossible.

Hawke looked at Brian and asked, "You know Erica and I are going to Africa, right?"

Brian responded, "Yes, Jennifer told me about it."

Hawke continued, "Did you ever think about this before Erica and I left, or after we went to Africa?"

Brian thought there was a trap in this and hesitated whether to answer, but Jennifer Huey spoke first: "He thought about it and mentioned it to me. He complained that you went hunting in Africa without taking him."

Hawke then asked, "Have you ever thought about whether Erica and I would be attacked in Africa?"

He stared at Brian: "Tell the truth!"

Blaine wanted to admit it, but held back.

"Look, the result is very obvious." Hawke immediately put the blame on others: "It is because of you that Erica and I were attacked in Africa."

Brian did think so privately. Plus, so many bad things happened to this pair of disaster stars that he even dreamed of them being attacked at midnight.

His voice suddenly weakened: "But I never said that, absolutely not!"

Hawke laughed: "See, Brian thought about it, so he thought that Erica and I were attacked in Africa. The problem is obvious, and it still lies with him, the leader of the Curse Cult."

Brian defended himself: "Sometimes it's like a subconscious behavior, not something I do on purpose. I've even dreamed about it. Can I control this?"

Hawke put away his smile and said seriously, "The problem is getting more and more serious. Even your unconscious thoughts and subconscious dreams can cast curses."

Brian couldn't argue and threw up his hands: "I'm going to get a frontal lobotomy?"

"No, you should save this ability to curse your opponent." Hawke said seriously: "Have you started to formulate the next plan?"

Bryan made a relatively conservative choice: "I'm going to run for governor."

I came here today to formally inform Hawke: "The Ferguson family has taken root in California, so they have a better chance of winning the gubernatorial election."

When it came to business, everyone became serious. Hawke had anticipated this, considered related situations, and even did some things in advance, such as the Northern Expedition of feminist and gay organizations.

He said directly: "You are running for governor. Our advantages are obvious, but we also have to consider the difficulties ahead."

Brian smiled and said, "I came here tonight to listen to your advice."

Hawke directly listed the most likely difficulties: "Whether running for senator or governor, there is one aspect that needs to be faced: women's rights."

The Los Angeles fire played a vital role in Bryan's victory in the election for mayor of Los Angeles. It is no exaggeration to say that it was the key to his victory.

The reason is that Brian did not do better than his predecessor Antonio, but Antonio looked even worse against the backdrop of the Los Angeles fire.

To be honest, Antonio's strategy is not wrong. He appeals to women's rights and has a strong Mexican base.

But no one would have thought that Hawke would not play by the rules at all.

Bryan said: "We climbed up with the help of the Los Angeles fire and stepped on women's rights. If I run for governor, women's rights will inevitably become an obstacle."

Erica interrupted at this time and asked Hawke: "Didn't you use homosexuality to fight against feminism, and it worked well?"

"At best, homosexuals have some advantages in a few head-on conflicts, but their breadth and influence are not as great as those of feminism." Hawke has a clear understanding of this: "We need to launch a movement to stir up chaos in California, especially in Northern California."

Brian nodded: "Northern California, with San Francisco as its core, is our main competitor."

Hawke picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said, "That's the second point. After former Speaker Nunes and Willie Brown collapsed at the political level because of the Ackerman family, the Niu Sen family rose comprehensively, and the Donald Trump Party's resources in California are also tilting towards the Niu Sen family. This time, Jerry Brown, who has the support of the Niu Sen family, has made a comeback and should not be underestimated."

Jennifer reminded me: "Behind the Niu Sen family are the Getty family and Pacific Electric Company."

Hawke went on to the third point: "Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to be re-elected. Normally, he would also participate in the re-election campaign. It would be best to get Schwarzenegger and let the forces he represents support you."

If Brian wants to become a candidate, he must first pass Schwarzenegger.

Needless to say, everyone here knows how difficult this is.

Schwarzenegger is a non-native Austrian immigrant. According to the U.S. Constitution, he cannot run for president, and governor is basically the limit of his political career.

In the last recall election for the governor, Schwarzenegger was an ally, but this time the two sides are vaguely on opposite sides.

The positions between people, like those between countries, always change with their interests.

Brian said, "We have to deal with Schwarzenegger first."

Hawke said: "The best way is to persuade Schwarzenegger to withdraw and support you instead." He was not so optimistic: "But this is not very realistic."

Brian looked at Hawke: "Do you have any good ideas?"

"I haven't thought about it yet." Hawke knew that it was almost impossible to get a governor who might be re-elected to give up his political future: "This is very difficult."

Erica used her killer move: "After the New Year, Ronald will marry George Walker's niece, and Schwarzenegger will definitely come to the wedding..."

Hawke thought of Erica's usual way of doing things and said, "Honey, we're not doing the Red Wedding thing."

"Can you listen to my explanation?" Erica glanced at him and said, "I want Grandpa to talk to Schwarzenegger."

Brian said, "I'll go ask Grandpa for advice." Hawke was full at this time, so he took the napkin to wipe his mouth and said, "Collect as much information as possible about Schwarzenegger and his close associates, and send it to me. I'll take a look first."

Brian asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Hawke shook his head: "Not right now."

Jennifer looked at Brian at this time: "Your brother is getting married?"

"No need to be envious, it's a political marriage." Brian said: "He was a little resistant, but there was nothing he could do."

Hawke had little impression of Ronald.

Brian said: "Having enjoyed the money and convenience provided by the family, one naturally has to shoulder some responsibilities. Ronald does not want to go into business or politics, he just wants to be free, and the only way to do that is through marriage."

This political marriage was reached last year when George Walker came to Los Angeles to campaign and officially married the Ferguson family.

Hawke remembered that the woman was Walker Sr.'s granddaughter, named Lauren, a model and actress who had been rumored to have an affair with Leonardo and walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival this year.

Erica said: "I have met Lauren twice. She is very ambitious and wants to develop in the film and modeling industry."

Brian shrugged: "Let's talk about it after they get married."

Similar political marriages are very common among large families, and the Niu Sen family’s marriage relationships involve all aspects.

After the formation of human society and civilization, many things have not changed for hundreds of years.

After dinner, the four of them went to the study to continue their discussion.

Hawke also mentioned something very important: "As for the mayor of Los Angeles, do you have a candidate to take over? Do you have a good chance of winning the election?"

"You know my deputy, Jim White from the Public Administration." Brian said, "He is my uncle and has a good reputation in Los Angeles. He needs the support of Twitter."

Hawke was impressed and said, "I will continue to make a fuss about the Los Angeles fire. It will be difficult for the Donkey Party to retake Los Angeles in a short period of time."

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Brian and Erica left Beverly.

Erica called Hawke and went to the cold storage in the basement to select things brought back from Africa, preparing to give some to each family at home and among their good friends.

Because of the attack, the two men didn't get much prey and didn't go shopping in Africa.

All the things here were donated by the Ethiopian government, not only elephant trunks, but also some other wild animal meat.

In Africa, these are the least valuable.

Hawke also picked out some to give to others to try.

If nothing else, that old bastard Frank has to give something.

This guy helped so much when he first came to Los Angeles.

.........

The next day, Brian brought people to deliver the information early in the morning, and Jim White accompanied him.

Although there is still a long time before the next gubernatorial election and the position of Los Angeles mayor will not be vacant for a while, Jim White still wants to establish a good relationship with Hawke in advance.

Having witnessed the process of Bryan's election, he is very clear about one thing: Hawke, who controls the largest social media group on the Internet, may not necessarily help him get elected, but he will definitely make him lose the election.

At noon, Hawke asked Raul to get in the car and go to Venice Beach to deliver meat to Frank.

That guy wasn't even at the RV.

Hawke made a phone call and waited for a while before Frank came over from Venice Beach wearing a pair of red swimming trunks.

Frank was followed by a beautiful woman in a bikini.

Hawke had a vague impression that he seemed to be a member of the Baywatch team.

The pretty woman greeted, "Long time no see, Hawke."

Hawke really couldn't remember her name, so he smiled and responded, "Long time no see, you're even more beautiful now."

Frank saw the insulated foam boxes brought over by Raul, Guti and Morientes and asked, "What's that? Food?"

Hawke said: "I went to Africa and Ethiopia gave me some meat. It's too much. Please help me eat some."

Frank became interested. He opened the door of the RV, asked someone to put the meat in the freezer, and asked Hawke, "Do you have lion meat? I have never eaten lion meat."

"There's hyena meat." Hawke joked deliberately.

Frank shook his head: "I heard that the meat of that thing is smelly."

Hawke was about to say goodbye: "When you have time, I'll take you to eat braised lion's head."

"Okay, I'll remember that." Frank waved to his female companion, then moved closer: "I have something to do." (End of this chapter)
