The Wolf of Los Angeles.

City Hall Plaza, San Francisco.

Steve Nutter stood on a platform and accepted a joint interview from the media with San Francisco City Hall and thousands of people participating in the Occupy San Francisco movement as the backdrop.

"I'm sure you all have seen the truth of this incident. This is a carefully fabricated lie and a slander against us!"

Facing the camera lens, Steve was very excited: "Many people are saying, why do you do this, why don't you slander others, look here!"

He pointed to the protest group and San Francisco City Hall behind him: "It has been more than half a year since Philip left us, and he still cannot rest in peace. We stay here only to seek fairness and justice, but some politicians and organizations have always been obstructing us and creating all kinds of despicable incidents to achieve their ulterior motives."

The reporters present were all smart people, so they naturally understood who Steve was talking about.

But they also knew what level many ordinary people in America were at, and asked in the most direct way: "Are you talking about San Francisco City Hall?"

Steve stood proudly, as if possessed by Jesus, and without any hesitation, he said loudly: "Yes, the San Francisco Donkey Party, led by Mayor Gavin Bullson, concocted this incident with the aim of stigmatizing the LGBTQ community and undermining our efforts to seek fairness and justice."

There was no uproar at the scene, because it was not difficult for those who covered social and political affairs to guess this.

There are certainly social reasons why the two sides have come to this point, but it is more because California will soon be holding a new round of gubernatorial elections.

Steve continued: "I implore the FBI and federal prosecutors to intervene in this matter and give Tillemans a fair and just outcome."

After being released from the San Francisco Police Department, Tillemans reported the case to the FBI and began legal proceedings.

In short, the goal is to make things bigger.

Less than 200 meters away, in the office of San Francisco City Hall.

Gavin Bullson was watching the television, which was showing a live interview with Steve Nutter.

The other party did not get entangled at all, and threw all those extreme verbal battles to the Hollywood stars led by Scarlett Johansson and Emma Watson. Steve Nutter, the real leader, hit the vital points directly!
Who is behind this incident?
Gavin Newson, the person involved, knows it best.

Before the real video was released yesterday, he thought he could make a comeback this time. Even if he couldn't drive away the LBGTQ group, he could at least make them more restrained and gain more support from public opinion.

But he really didn't expect that his people would be so stupid.

The incident actually happened in the men's restroom!

Gittens next to him said, "Mayor, we are going to be passive..."

Now, even if you throw all the Republicans in Northern California into this sinkhole, it still won’t be able to fill it.

Looking at the high-spirited Steve Nutter on TV, Gavin frowned as his team suffered a crushing defeat.

Gavin didn't even want to respond because it was too embarrassing.

Gittens warned: "Michelle is planning a targeted operation in Los Angeles and may have already begun to implement it."

Gavin hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's not participate yet. If she succeeds, we will follow up. If she fails, let them bear the consequences themselves."

Gittens said, "They are inseparable. Everyone knows that we pushed it to the forefront."

Gavin wanted to curse, but reason overcame the impulse and said, "Hurry up and call Fiona and ask her to stop the operation in Los Angeles and return to San Francisco to take charge of the situation."

Gittens called Fiona immediately.

The Occupy San Francisco movement, which had originally been receiving less attention, has once again been at the center of public opinion after the public opinion storm caused by this incident and has become a hot news topic that has attracted national attention.

Now that Jerry Brown has officially stepped down, the California Donkey Party is pushing him to take over to compete with Bryan.

Gavin thought his chances of winning were slim.

Thinking of this, Gavin suddenly realized something, and he said to Gittens: "Did you find a problem?"

Gittens didn't understand: "What's the problem?"

Gittens hesitated for a moment, and still said in the most direct way: "Although the California election will be held in two months, our chances of winning..."

Gavin glanced at the TV screen and saw that CNN's news coverage had shifted from San Francisco to other cities in California.

Large-scale LGBTQ marches and demonstrations broke out in Los Angeles, San Diego, Ventura and Sacramento today.

Gavin admitted directly: "We are doomed to fail. The election process still needs to go on and we still have to work hard, but we can also prepare for the next election in advance."

There is no shame in admitting failure, Gittens said: "Give us some time, give LGBTQ some time, and changes will inevitably occur."

Gavin thought beyond the limitations of this election and saw a bright future ahead: “We can push the LGBTQ community to further radicalize and cause countless troubles for the bastards who take advantage of them.”

Gittens was inspired and said, "We can make use of this incident, for example, by letting the stars we support join in the discussion."

Gavin said, "Prepare the manpower to do it, the next gubernatorial election is about to begin."

Gittens left his office and called a meeting with his election team.

Gavin came to the office window and looked at the municipal square in front of him. The fluttering rainbow flag was so dazzling.

…………

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills.

Inside the mountaintop villa, the butler came over to announce, "Mr. Mayor and Miss Hughie are almost here."

Hawke and Erica arrive in front of the villa to greet Brian and Jennifer Huey.

The four of them entered the living room and discussed the current situation.

Jennifer couldn't help but interject: "Some of the comments now are already magical."

"But we are the beneficiary, so we can still tolerate it." Erica automatically defended Hawke's plan: "These will not affect us."

Brian is now aiming high and taking a long-term view: “What if this sport gets completely out of control?”

Hawke elaborated: "No matter how crazy this society is, there are still more normal people, but most ordinary people just want to live a stable life. Few of them come out like the LGBTQ community. They belong to the silent majority."

Even with a tool like Twitter that facilitates communication, most active users use it for private communication, recording their lives, checking information, and simply watching the show.

This has created a strange phenomenon: demons and monsters are particularly active in the media and on the Internet, and they can be seen everywhere.

Just like now, the Occupy San Francisco movement is in full swing, and the two sides are arguing fiercely on Internet media, mainly Twitter, as if the whole society is like this.

But the silent majority simply doesn’t speak out much, and capital and political forces don’t need them to speak out. For example, Twitter will not promote the accounts of these people.

The real demons and monsters together account for less than one-tenth of the population.

Hawke said: "Society has a tolerance bottom line with the silent majority. When the bottom line is crossed, the power they burst out is far greater than that of these minority groups. And when necessary, we will become the silent majority in advance."

Such political operations are very common in America and are not difficult for Bryan.

For example, the Donald and the Elephant parties often have their support groups changing.

Brian said: "We need to endure those monsters for a while longer."

Hawke said coldly: "These people are all crazy."

He has seen some similar people, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development's remote dog breeding project, which raises livestock in many countries and uses public opinion or other means to lead the trend.

In fact, this kind of thinking is normal after all, after all, the other party gives money and you can get benefits.

There are also some who don't get a penny of benefit, but bring their own dry food. They are more active and crazy than remotely farmed dogs. If anyone says something bad about Europe and the United States, they can't wait to rush up and tear that person to pieces.

Hawke thought of another thing and reminded Brian, "San Francisco has just sent back accurate news that the Donkey Party's new candidate, Gavin Bullson, is planning to marry Jennifer Siebel."

Erica also understood this and said, "Gavin has a family, and Brian doesn't. In this respect, Gavin has the advantage."

"I got the news, too." Brian held Jennifer's hand and raised it to show the couple, "We're getting married too, and the ceremony will be held after the New Year."

He pointed at Hawke and said, "You have to give me a special wedding gift." Hawke said, "I have a lot of guns here, you can pick any one."

He originally wanted to say, I hope there will be a surprise gift like a terrorist attack at your wedding, but the bride, Jennifer, is here, so it doesn't sound nice to say that.

Hawke doesn't think he is the leader of the Curse Cult.

In the following days, with the help of this wave of public opinion, Bryan's support rate in California skyrocketed, and his approval rating in polls exceeded 60%.

After San Francisco released a message that the false accusation case had nothing to do with them, it suddenly stopped and became quiet.

In their current form, the more they speak, the more mistakes they make; the more they do, the more mistakes they make.

In the office of Coast Building, Brian handed Hawke the latest poll data and said, "Take a look."

Hawke flicked the paper and said, "Sixty-three percent. A little higher than I expected."

"We have done so much, so it's normal that the support rate is higher than expected." Brian looked calm and even spoke with more confidence: "And the continued popularity of Los Angeles Fire has seriously affected the reputation of the California Donor Party."

Hawke asked, "What about the formal channels?"

These are all handled by Bryan's election team. He said: "Twitter plus Pacific Investments plus the support of some large Silicon Valley companies are not weaker than Pacific Electric."

The latter is the main supporting capital behind the Niu Sen family.

Hawke warned, "Be more careful. I heard that Pacific Electric often resorted to shady tactics in its early years."

Brian nodded: "I'll be careful."

Both of them knew that when the gap in strength between them was not that big, using high-end business warfare methods would only lead to more severe retaliation unless they could kill the opponent in one blow and directly disintegrate the opponent's power.

Of course, we must be on guard.

Brian didn't stay here for long and quickly returned to the city hall.

Hawke contacted Eric Tuson to see the official statistics for Los Angeles Fire.

His foundation invested in the film anyway.

Eric is in Covina, communicating with Philip's mother and sister about some things about Philip.

The latter two accepted the protection of Steve Nutter and the NAACP and temporarily settled in Los Angeles, ready to go north to deal with the lawsuit with the San Francisco City Hall at any time.

This lawsuit has lasted for so long and has gone through several rounds of out-of-court mediation, but no settlement has been reached.

One side offered too low a stake, while the other side held on to $3000 million in compensation.

As long as this case is not concluded, it will continue to attract media attention and have a negative impact on the San Francisco Group.

Similarly, if the case has no conclusion, the Occupy San Francisco movement, which is under the banner of fighting for fairness and justice for Philip, will not end.

After all, times have changed. The LGBTQ community, which has the support of political forces behind it, can no longer enjoy the crushing treatment given to veterans.

Schwarzenegger was standing in the way of the governor, and without his signature, the National Guard could not move in to clear the area.

Ten minutes later, Ethan Film Studio sent over the latest box office statistics for "Los Angeles Fire".

After six weeks of release in North America, the film has accumulated a total box office of 3.04 million US dollars, and the North American box office will inevitably exceed 3.5 million US dollars.

Overseas, the film has been released in multiple markets including Europe, Latin America and East Asia, and its overseas box office has now reached 2.25 million US dollars.

As for word of mouth, "Los Angeles Fire" has been relatively strong, with the IMDB score maintained at 8.8 points.

Influenced by this movie, the judiciary also gave support to the insurance victims.

Among them, Brian personally took part in the coordination and made a lot of efforts.

Some victims have reached out-of-court settlements with insurance companies. After all, some insurance companies did not go bankrupt like Schwarzenegger's ex-wife.

The public opinion became increasingly heated, affecting the business of insurance companies that had not gone bankrupt, and they had no choice but to compromise.

In contrast, former California First Lady Maria Shriver is still in a stalemate, and it is extremely difficult to get the funds that have fallen into her charitable foundation out.

This side can only go to court in the end.

Although the problem could not be solved perfectly, Brian's positive attitude towards solving it won him a lot of praise.

Today's America has begun to fall into a slump. A dozen years ago, Bryan might not have been that outstanding.

But these are all compared.

Compared to his predecessor Antonio and the chaotic San Francisco, Brian is a typical example of outstanding ability.

Hawke came home from get off work and Erica came over from the kitchen.

She prepared dinner herself and said to Hawke, "Are you tired?"

Hawke took off his coat, sat down on the sofa, and said, "We've made a lot of trouble, but fortunately there is a result. Brian has a huge advantage now. If we can still turn the tables, I suggest you take his place."

Erica laughed: "I don't want to be a politician."

Hawke nodded: "Just want to kill someone legally."

"I killed thugs." Erica suddenly felt like killing someone, and said, "New Year's Day is coming soon. Should we go on a trip? It's been a while since we've gone out to relax."

Hawke responded, "Sure, you plan your trip, we can go anywhere."

He added: "Forget about Russia."

Erica is not interested in the ice and snow of Russia. The attacks in Africa are directly related to the Russians.

She said, "The last time we were attacked in Africa, are you sure it was the Russians who did it?"

"Yes." Hawke had been keeping an eye on the African side. Bosk's Hurricane Company had caught a clue at the time, which basically proved that it was done by the Russians.

Erica said, "Wait until Brian can influence national policy and let him promote policies against the Russians."

Hawke thought further: "Try to draw the Russians into the quagmire of war."

"Civil war is fine, but what about foreign war?" Erica knew a little bit about it: "It is said that the Russians have the largest nuclear arsenal in the world."

"The Russians are very resilient," Hawke said.

After dinner, the two of them went for a walk in the garden and discussed where to go during the New Year holiday.

Before they could finish the discussion, a call came to Hawke.

"Chief of Staff Andy Card." Hawke said to Erica and answered the phone: "Hey, Andy, it's late in Washington, why are you calling at this time?"

Andy's voice was filled with fatigue. "I can't help it. The Russians suddenly sent a note. I think it's necessary to inform you in advance."

Hawke immediately asked, “Is it about Twitter?”

"Yes, it's related to Twitter." Andy said quickly: "You should have read the news. After the New Year, the Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry will come to Washington for an official visit. During this period, they will visit Los Angeles and hope to visit high-tech companies in Los Angeles. They took the initiative to choose Twitter."

Hawke certainly knew who this person was: a close comrade of the new Tsar, a well-known pro-American and pro-Western representative, who previously served as director of the staff office and became deputy prime minister at the end of last year.

It is also very likely that he was the one who ordered the targeting of Twitter and him.

Hawke did not back down at all in his home court and said directly: "Okay, if he wants to come, then let him come."
