The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Inside the villa's study, Persson, who had short golden brown hair, opened the bag he brought with him, took out some copies of contract documents, and placed them on the desk in front of Gavin Newson.

Gavin opened them one by one and found that they were all copies of insurance contracts involving multiple insurance companies.

He didn't have the time or patience to look carefully, so he asked, "What are these?"

Persson said, "Insurance contract, home insurance contract."

He spoke faster: "Last year, there was news from Southern California that Brian was interested in running for governor. I took a research team to Los Angeles as a lawyer to look for possible breakthroughs. We found two main aspects. On the one hand, after Brian was elected mayor of Los Angeles, the municipal government signed multiple contracts with Hawk Osmond and the Ferguson family's subsidiaries, and also provided cash subsidies..."

Gavin shook his head directly: "These are useless. The whole United States is doing this, and it is all legal behavior."

This aspect is just like political donations, there is no point in talking about it.

Persson emphasized, "The other side is these insurance contracts! The Los Angeles fire destroyed many houses, most of which had accident insurance contracts. After the fire, many people applied to the insurance company for compensation, but except for a few people who were strong enough, many ordinary people's insurance contracts became waste paper."

Gavin is a lawyer, so he first considered the issue from a legal perspective: “No lawsuit was filed?”

"Yes, many people have filed lawsuits and the news has also reported it, but public opinion has not focused on it, so the impact is not that big." Persson took out a contract and showed the additional clauses in it, saying, "Look here, this is one of the additional clauses. If the accident is caused by others, it will not be compensated. The investigation results of the LAPD and the Fire Department show that the Los Angeles fire was originally caused by seasonal firefighters who were dismissed by the former senior management of the Fire Department."

Gavin said from a professional perspective: "There is something wrong with the terms of this contract. There are too many pitfalls in insurance."

Persson continued, “There are also several insurance companies that transferred their assets during the fire. After the fire, the insurance companies directly declared bankruptcy, and it was almost impossible to pay compensation. It is also difficult for those who sued to get compensation.”

He found a stack of red-lined contracts among the photocopies and said, "Among them, this Eunice Insurance Company is closely related to Arnold Schwarzenegger. After his wife Maria Shriver stopped working at NBC, she co-founded Eunice Insurance. Now the company is bankrupt and unable to pay compensation..."

Gavin thought about what happened today at San Francisco's City Hall Plaza, where a rally that was supposed to be a successful event ended up with garbage all over the ground.

There are many homosexuals and gay organizations in San Francisco, but in recent years there have been a number of gays who were dancing happily being shot. The gay organizations here are relatively conservative and rarely do such impulsive things.

What happened in the afternoon was obviously caused by the Matthew Singh Association from Los Angeles.

The purpose is nothing more than to create chaos in San Francisco and directly drag down the reputation of the San Francisco Group.

Gavin said slowly, "Los Angeles has been too quiet recently. It needs to be lively. Think of a way to make these things spark public opinion."

“To what extent?” Persson asked.

Gavin turned to look at him: "Do you have a plan?"

"There is one," Persson whispered. "I found a victim..."

Gavin raised his hand to interrupt him: "You can do it, the funds will be allocated from the overseas foundation."

Money makes things easier. Without saying anything more, Persson got up and walked out of the study and left Gavin's mansion.

Gavin turned his head and looked at the whiteboard on the wall, on which were pictures of Hawke, Brian, Schwarzenegger and others.

These are all his direct political opponents in the future.

And Brian also intends to run for governor. If these things against Maria Shriver are done secretly, Schwarzenegger will definitely be suspicious.

…………

Woodland Hills, Los Angeles.

The wedding was over, most of the guests left, and a group of young people moved to another place to party.

Hawke, Erica and Brian did not go and were kept by Paul Ferguson.

Also staying with them was Ferguson's relative-in-law, Congressman Boneson.

Everyone went into the study together.

Paul looked at everyone present and said, "Our next goal is very clear. Brian will run for governor next year."

Everyone, including Hawke, had known this for a long time and no one was surprised.

In politics, as in business, if you don’t advance, you will regress.

The situation is different now. Hawke asked directly, "What's the situation with Schwarzenegger now?"

Bonassen continued: "I have had preliminary contact with Schwarzenegger and had a proper chat. Schwarzenegger still has political ambitions and will not withdraw from the next election."

Paul untied his tie and threw it on the desk. He said, "Politics is nothing more than the exchange of interests. We have not yet found a breakthrough that can impress Schwarzenegger. We still need to work hard in this regard. This will also be the main task in the next few months."

Mary Ferguson asked: "Our push was one of the key factors in Schwarzenegger's rise to power. Can't we just drag him down by force?"

Paul said: "If possible, it would be best to do it in a relatively peaceful manner. Schwarzenegger also represents a considerable force."

Hawke couldn't agree more: "Schwarzenegger is now the governor, not the candidate and Hollywood star we funded back then."

Although Schwarzenegger's chances of success in his next election may be lower without the support of the Ferguson family, it is difficult for someone who has tasted the sweetness of political power to give up directly.

Everyone present understood this truth. Mary, who had raised the question earlier, stopped talking.

Carter Ferguson asked, "What does the White House say?"

"George Walker will certainly support us, but the role they can play is limited." Paul said simply: "It is difficult for them to directly affect California. Sometimes it is not necessarily a wise choice for the current president to directly interfere in the gubernatorial election."

In the last gubernatorial recall election, former presidents Schwarzenegger and his wife came to support the Democratic Party, but it still failed to stop Schwarzenegger from winning.

Whether it has played a positive role or not is a matter of opinion.

Hawke has recently researched Schwarzenegger's profile and said, "After the Los Angeles fire, several insurance companies involved in home insurance went bankrupt, and several of them had some relationship with Schwarzenegger. I suggest looking into this aspect."

Brian turned to look at Hawke. When they met last month, he had specifically mentioned the insurance issue.

Paul looked at Carter and said, "Let your people check it out."

Carter said: "I will arrange for reliable personnel to check it out tomorrow."

Paul reminded: "Share the specific situation with Hawke as soon as possible."

Carter nodded to Hawke.

After the short meeting, everyone left the study and left in their cars.

On the way back in the car, Erica asked, "Are there any new clues from Campos?"

"No, I pulled the people back." Hawke said slowly, "It's useless to keep looking after someone after such a long time."

He thought for a moment and added, "The emails could have come from Hillary, the Russians, or what we guessed was San Francisco. No matter where they came from, the way they were handled was similar. We were all trying to find a way to deal with them."

Erica recalled the video: "There was nothing special about that video except the Satanist symbol."

Hawke frowned and thought: "Maybe there's something wrong with the person? The identity of that girl? Or the identity of the man in black?"

Erica didn't care much about public cases, but when it came to secret enemies, she became motivated: "Do you want to investigate it quietly?"

Hawke was more cautious and shook his head: "It doesn't matter who the people above are, as long as we know where our potential enemies are."

Whether it is San Francisco or New York State, we have to do what needs to be done.

Make them so happy that they take off on the spot.

Hawke suddenly thought of Leonardo. This guy must be experienced in dealing with Xilali.

Leonardo has been actively approaching you before. You can send him a little signal next time. As long as you surrender to me, at least I won't send anyone to push you in the ass and let you eat old engine oil.

Next comes preparation for a war.

Hawke used the camp to obtain huge profits. By means of winning over and sharing profits, he dealt with many members of the Elephant Party, and thus controlled tens of billions of dollars in cash flow with the help of the AI ​​Manhattan Project.

However, these also made him deeply bound to the Elephant Party for a certain period of time. Changing his stance would be tantamount to digging his own grave at this stage.

It was inevitable to face Hillary.

Hawke doesn't need to check how the video is, because there are other aspects.

When Hawke got home, he called Campos first and said, "Except for those who were sent out, call back those who participated in the two Mexican operations to Los Angeles."

Campos responded, “Yes.”

Hawke found the encrypted satellite phone and called Hurricane Company: "Bosco, arrange your work and come to Los Angeles as soon as possible."

Bosque said: "I will hand over to Andre now and ask someone to book a flight immediately. It may take some time to get to Los Angeles."

Hawke said, "I'll have Campos pick him up at the airport."

He hung up the phone and looked at Erica: "It's sometimes inconvenient without a private jet."

Erica asked, "When will the private jet you ordered arrive?"

"It'll take a few months." Hawke had previously drawn up a budget and allocated funds in the name of the AI ​​Manhattan Project's need for aviation equipment, and ordered two business jets and three small and medium-sized aircraft.

All of these aircraft, from purchase to maintenance to other daily expenses, were paid for by funds from the AI ​​Manhattan Project.

Hawke put away the satellite phone and asked Erica, "Have you heard that in New York, a wealthy Jewish man bought an island in the Caribbean and specially invited wealthy politicians and celebrities to gather on the island. There are dozens or even hundreds of girls from all over the world on the island all year round, many of whom are still minors."

Erica said, “Isn’t this the Ackerman family?”

Hawke said: "New York also has their own Ackerman family." (End of this chapter)
