The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Venice, Butterfly Security Company.

Hawke sat at the head of the conference table and asked Edward to project the photos provided by Leonardo onto the white alloy screen through a projector.

The photo shows a beach villa in Malibu, which covers a large area and is extremely luxuriously decorated.

Campos identified it and said, "I think I've seen this villa before."

Garcia reminded: "This villa used to belong to the Ackerman family. Sean Ackerman likes to hold parties here. Carlos and I have monitored Sean nearby."

Carlos, who was sitting opposite, agreed: "Yes, there is a parking lot in front of the villa for guests to park their cars."

Hawke remembered clearly that Sean Ackerman was being kept as a blood bag in the underground prison in Inglewood.

He picked up a laser pointer, pointed at the photo and said, "Now, this place belongs to P.D. Sean Combs. I have received accurate information that before Thanksgiving next month, P.D. will hold a party here and invite many celebrities to attend."

A few months ago, Hawke assigned the task to Butterfly to investigate Chuanniu and the island.

Juan, who was in charge of Chui Niu, said, "I also got the news that Chui Niu was holding a party, and I am arranging surveillance on his mansion in Beverly. According to the results of my investigation, after the Ackerman family incident broke out, Chui Niu bought this mansion from the Ministry of Justice's foreclosure sale."

Hawke asked a key question: "Did he redecorate it?"

Juan said: "Probably not."

Hawke thought of the Ackerman family's usual behavior and said to Campos, "Go see Sean Ackerman and ask where the hidden cameras in the villa are installed."

The villa had been searched by the FBI Los Angeles branch. Hawke took out his cell phone and called Jennifer Huey directly to ask about the status of the villa.

Jennifer replied, "We just took away all the valuables. We didn't move the things that were difficult to demolish. Someone from above took a fancy to the villa and asked to keep it as intact as possible. Just like the rescue station and Beverly Manor, these things are often taken by people in advance, and the judicial auction is just a routine procedure."

The manor that Hawke got, as well as several rescue stations affiliated with the charity foundation, all followed the same procedure.

"I see." He asked directly, "Did you find anything or install anything over there?"

Jennifer thought for a moment and said, "We basically didn't touch the decoration of the villa, and of course we won't install anything. My people won't do such stupid things."

Hawke said one more thing and hung up the phone.

Campos knew that after the meeting he would need to go to Inglewood to interrogate Sean Ackerman.

Next, Hawke's request was very clear. He asked Juan to monitor the villa in Malibu, and emphasized: "The focus is to find out which women attended the bragging party. At such a party, even if the bragging is exaggerated and all kinds of promises are made, women will still feel that they are being taken advantage of in this matter. As long as things don't go well later, they will easily feel resentful."

Juan nodded: "This is our chance."

To encourage women, men don’t need to take action. The Sisters’ March is the most appropriate organization.

Hawke looked at Campos and said, "If Sean Ackerman can get the information he has, you will be directly responsible for planning and implementing it."

Campos responded: "Okay."

Juan then said, "I have found some information about Chui Niu. Just a week ago, Chui Niu ordered more than 1000 bottles of baby oil. Now it seems that he is preparing for a party next month. In addition, I also asked someone to investigate the mother and daughter Alison and Joanna Faith mentioned last time, and found a new situation."

Hawke specifically mentioned this mother and daughter at the last Butterfly meeting.

Juan's face brightened up a bit, "We can be absolutely sure that Alison is now Bragging's girlfriend."

Hawke had never heard Leonardo mention this.

Juan continued, "I got some unconfirmed information from a paparazzi. He said that he liked to play sadistic games with Alison. It was said that he once violently beat Alison in the corridor of a motel. He also grabbed Alison's long hair and dragged her into the room."

Edward rarely interrupted: "That woman is a slut, maybe she likes this."

Juan was not involved in the Alison and Josh Hartnett videotape incident and was not clear about it. He continued to say the information he had obtained from his investigation: "Alison once told a former assistant around her that she bragged about forcing her to participate in group X, forced her to take drugs, and was beaten, etc."

He emphasized one more thing: "Latin Queen Jennifer Lopez and Bragging officially dated for a period of time, and it is said that Bragging forced her to have a piercing in her private parts."

Hawke heard of it for the first time, but the possibility of Jennifer Lopez coming forward is very small: "The focus is still on Alison Faith."

After discussing the bragging, Hawke emphasized one more thing: "Have you heard about the notice Fiona sent? Michelle, the chairman of the Sister Parade, will take action to notify our partners, raise their vigilance, and set traps when necessary."

The so-called counterattack by the women's boxing was originally instructed by Hawke, and Michelle's plan was almost transparent to him.

Hawke and Edward then left Butterfly.

As the car drove out of the security company's gate, Edward asked, "How can we maintain the stability of the foundation?"

Hawke said slowly: "As long as a team keeps winning, it can maintain relatively strong unity, because winning always brings benefits."

The main reason why his side has been relatively stable over the past few years is that it has been winning, and the victories can bring benefits to everyone.

Edward seemed to understand: "It seems to be true."

No one knows Hawke's development trajectory better than him. The two started as freelance reporters on the streets, winning conflict after conflict, from a few thousand dollars each time at the beginning to tens of thousands of dollars, then hundreds of thousands of dollars, and then to the present.

Edward felt that he and Hawke had been killing people all along.

Back at the Coast Building, Caroline followed Hawke as he entered the office.

She placed a series of documents on her desk and said, "The Grant Committee has approved the second round of grants. The major supporting companies are in urgent need of R&D supporting funds, and the applications have been received."

The so-called R&D supporting funds are naturally a bunch of termites trying to fleece America.

Hawke himself was the one who took the most and checked them one by one, and signed on them.

In matters like this, you must never eat alone, and if you do, you will not get the money.

After signing, he said, "As soon as the funds arrive, they will be forwarded to the supporting companies. They will have to be paid sooner or later, so it's better to give it sooner."

Caroline responded, "I'll take care of it right away."

Hawke turned on his computer and continued to improve his second wool-pulling plan - a project to rescue marginalized people.

…………

Ethan Studios, Hollywood.

Eric had just returned from the National Association for the Advocate of Colored People. He walked quickly into the office with the first-hand information they provided, ready to read it carefully.

With the release of "Los Angeles Fire" and its huge success, Eric has stepped away from his previous film project and started preparing for a new film in addition to his routine publicity work.

Biographical film - "Philip".

If the film could be introduced on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, perhaps the title would be translated into something like "San Francisco Girl".

Before Eric finished looking through a document, there was a knock on the door, and then a female accountant from the studio walked in with some documents in one hand.

The female accountant responded by closing the store.

Eric suddenly remembered Hawke's reminder to ask Edward to call, and said quickly, "Leave the door open."

The female financial officer glanced at the busy corridor, went over to put down the documents, and said, "Boss, these need your signature."

Eric nodded slightly: "Put it here first."

The female accountant turned around and left the office, closing the office door when she went out.

The cell phone rang and Eric picked it up.

A woman's voice came from the other end: "Hi, Eric, it's me, Amanda. I heard you're preparing a new movie? Can you come to my house tonight to discuss the role?"

In the past, Eric would have agreed, but he refused without hesitation: "If you want to star in my new film, you can wait and see the relevant job posting. I'm very busy recently and don't have time to go out."

The other side hesitated for a moment, did not force it, and said: "I will discuss it with you when I have time."

After hanging up the phone, Eric continued to work on his business.

In a single-family house in southern Burbank, a blonde actress named Amanda put down the phone in her hand, looked at Michelle on the sofa on the other side, shrugged and said, "It seems that this money has nothing to do with me."

Michelle didn't expect to encounter setbacks in the first step, and said, "You can try again."

Amanda knew very well that it would be difficult for her to make a name for herself as an actress, so she might as well make some money and leave Hollywood.

In front, Brad Pitt's nannies, Jamie Foxx's mistresses, and Tiger Woods' wife and lovers are all ready.

These people, relying on their gender advantage, can easily earn millions of dollars by just moving their upper and lower lips.

What kind of business can earn such a high income?
Amanda also did not give up and said, "I can only see the situation. It's difficult to do without actual evidence."

Michelle nodded slightly and reminded: "Keep it confidential."

Amanda assured: "How could I tell others about such a good business."

Michelle came out of her house, met up with her assistant, got in the car and left.

In the car, the assistant glanced at Michelle's face and asked, "Is it not going well?"

The candidate of Amanda was suggested by the assistant. Michelle shook her head slightly: "She is very cooperative, but the opposite side is busy with work and I don't have time to see her."

The assistant concentrated on driving.

Michelle added: "Eric Eason has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Director and won the Best Original Screenplay Oscar. In addition, Los Angeles Fire was a big hit at the box office. He is already close to being a first-tier director. Amanda's status is not high enough, so it is difficult for her to approach Eric directly."

The assistant smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't think about that."

“It’s okay.” Although Michelle’s abilities other than boxing were average, she didn’t pin her hopes on one person and said, “Let’s go to the Santa Monica Pier and meet someone else.”

The assistant didn't ask any more questions and drove straight to Griffith Observatory.

Michelle was going to meet one of the few people from the Sisters Parade who had sneaked into City Hall. This Los Angeles government had used the Los Angeles fire to suppress the victory of the women's boxing, and Brian had been reminded by Hawke that they would naturally not use female employees who advocated women's boxing.

But some people are very active in boxing on the Internet, but are very conventional in their real work and you can’t tell they are boxing masters at all.

Arriving at the Griffith Observatory, Michelle found Selena under a parasol in an open-air cafe.

She ordered a cup of coffee and asked directly, "What do you think about what we talked about on the phone?"

Since Selena came here, she naturally had some considerations: "This is too difficult. If I fail, I will be in great trouble."

Michelle Obama said: "The entire Sister March, the entire California women's rights organization, all women across the United States, will be your supporters! Do you see Philip? You will be Philip in Los Angeles."

This analogy was inappropriate, and Selina turned pale with fear: "I... I just... want to gain some benefits that exceed those of ordinary people. I don't want to die. I haven't lived enough."

Michelle realized that there was something wrong with her expression and quickly changed her words: "I mean, Philip is alive!"

She doesn't have groundbreaking ideas, but she can follow others. The case of Philip is right in front of her: "Philip has become a banner figure for that group of disgusting perverts. Many places have erected statues for him. He has become a saint on par with Steve Nutt. Why? Because he was created to be a god."

Selena gradually understood something: "You want me to become a flagship figure?"

"That depends on whether you dare to do it." Michelle is best at talking: "When you rush to the front, all women's organizations in the United States will support you, all women will support you, and on the political level, the Donkey Party behind us will also support you!"

In addition to making promises, she also provided practical support: "The sisterhood will provide you with a..."

Michelle originally wanted to say $200,000, but she was unwilling to give such a large sum of money to a woman who she didn't know whether she could succeed, so she changed her words temporarily and said, "$100,000 for the activity fund, and then another $100,000 when the job is done. Don't forget, the target is very rich, and if everything goes well, you can get a million dollars in compensation from him."

Selena asked, "Are you sure you will support me?"

Michelle vowed: "Sisters March has united women's rights organizations across California. Before I came here, I went to San Francisco to meet Gavin Newson, the current representative of the Donkey Party in California, and got his support."

Selena remained silent, seemingly thinking seriously.

Michelle added: "One hundred thousand dollars will be in the account tomorrow."

When doing the accounting, she could make it out to be $200,000, and she had special uses for the rest.

Selena nodded vigorously.

Michelle opened the bag she was carrying, handed a decorative brooch to Selena, and told her how to use it.

Selena put away the brooch and left Griffith Observatory first.

When Michelle left, she realized that Selena had not paid for her coffee and dessert.

"This greedy bitch!" Michelle couldn't help but curse under her breath as she took out the money.

On the other side, Selena got into a Kia sedan, looked around, and seeing that there was no one around the car, she took out a recorder from her pocket.

Thanks to the development of electronic technology, this thing is getting smaller and smaller, and it is very convenient to use.

Although Selena is not a very smart woman, she has some experience as a secretary in the city hall.

Just in case, I prepared a recorder before coming here.

She pressed the play button and listened to the conversation with Michelle, then carefully put away the recorder and drove home.

On the way back, Selena kept thinking about what to do.

Given her position in City Hall, it would be difficult for her to get in touch with Mayor Brian, as it would easily arouse suspicion.

Michelle was too stingy, only giving $100,000 in advance.

For such a small amount of money, she is asked to take the risk to deal with the current mayor of Los Angeles. Is this a joke?
The Ferguson family is not easy to mess with. There are rumors circulating inside City Hall that the Ferguson family has a group of security personnel in Los Angeles and overseas, and often uses them to do shady things.

According to rumors, each of those big families is more ruthless than the other.

Selena first rejected Bryan as a candidate. She really wanted to be famous, to be the female Steve Nutter, and to make a lot of money, but the premise of all this was not to endanger her own safety.

After considering it for a long time, she still hasn't made a decision.

After returning home and thinking about the power structure at the top of City Hall, Selena came up with a suitable candidate in her mind.

Assistant to the Mayor Bacon.

The other party served as Brian's campaign manager during the mayoral election. His position in City Hall was very important and could directly influence Brian.

Selena has access to Bacon at work, so this is a more practical choice.

Michelle, on the other hand, was not satisfied with this and returned to the Sisters Parade headquarters in North Hollywood to continue her research on the Los Angeles political group.

Sister Parade has dealt with them many times and even cooperated with them in the early days. Michelle is basically certain that this political group is composed of Hawke Osment and the business forces he represents, as well as Brian Ferguson and the Ferguson family behind him.

Michelle looked at the three photos posted on the whiteboard in her office, of Hawke, Brian, and Erica.

She glanced at Erica, thought of the people who died at Erica's hands, and decided that it would be better not to provoke this woman.

As for Hawke, Michelle did not formulate any measures against Hawke because a similar case had happened to him and the other party would definitely pay attention.

She took the information on the table, which had just been delivered by someone downstairs.

The content of the information is the basic situation of Hawke's company and foundation.

Including West Coast Environmental Technology Company, West Coast Investment Foundation and Oscar Charitable Foundation, etc.

These are all institutions that are completely owned by Hawke personally.

Michelle wanted to take action, but after seeing the personnel composition of these institutions, she felt uneasy.

More than 90 percent of them are men, and the few women there are those with stable families, children and marriages.

For a woman like this who pursues a stable life, the possibility of picking a fight is almost zero.

Michelle understood why the LA political clique went after the Sisters Parade, that bastard Hawke Osment was clearly misogynistic!
When the sisterhood gained momentum, she planned to expose this and make those assholes the target of public opinion.

…………

In the night, a villa in Brentwood was brightly lit.

Megan Taylor pinched Caroline's slender waist with both hands, making her sway up and down, while admiring the incredible pair of fruits and exclaimed: "This is unscientific, too unscientific."

Hawke was suppressed by the two men and said, "There are always exceptions."

Although Megan has seen this many times, she still can't understand: "This sheep's legs are only as thick as your arms."

Caroline lowered her head, as if she was using a pair of goat horns to press against the American girl's thick chest, and a strange sound came out of her mouth: "Mee-mee--"

The sound seemed to be contagious, and when Megan opened her mouth again, she made the same sound.

"What—"

She quickly covered her mouth and said, "I was infected by this stupid sheep!"

But Hawke said, "Well, now I want to be a shepherd."

As he turned over and waved his long whip, the bleating of sheep continued to sound, as if he was herding a flock of sheep.

After herding the sheep, Hawke was hungry and decided to eat some lamb chops.

Caroline's cooking skills are almost non-existent.

Megan made do with it and fried three lamb chops.

Caroline was very shameless. She said while eating: "I will go to your house every morning to have breakfast."

"Sure." Megan smiled and said, "One million dollars for a breakfast."

Hawke ignored the two of them and concentrated on enjoying his breakfast.

While using the knife and fork, I suddenly felt two feet placed on my legs one after another.

Before he could react, the two feet collided with each other and were retracted at the same time.

"Shameless!" Caroline and Megan rolled their eyes at each other almost at the same time.

Hawke finished his lamb chops in one go, then spoke: "There will be an important news event tomorrow, please pay attention to the key reports."

Megan asked curiously, "Are you going to cause trouble again?"

"No, I want to help people with publicity." Hawke elaborated: "Tomorrow, Harvard University will hold an important campus speech. I have sent people to shoot it. Natalie Portman will attend and give a speech. You will promote it to become a hot news."

"The speech?" Caroline wrote it herself.

Hawke nodded slightly: "Yes, she will give a speech combining feminism and extreme vegetarianism, pushing feminism to the extreme."

Megan asked a few questions.

Caroline answered them one by one.

"It sounds interesting." Megan had no concerns about this and said, "Anti-feminism is the main theme of Fox TV. Roger Ailes particularly hates feminism."

Hawke knew this and said, "You can play as much as you want."

Caroline said: "Natalie Portman has always had a good reputation, and there is some Jewish support behind her, so news about her can easily become a hot topic." (End of this chapter)
