The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Leonard Community, Toronto.

The two cars stopped one after the other in front of a detached brick villa. Edward and Raul had already carefully observed the property. They got out of the car and went to the sturdy security door. They found the keypad covered by the rainproof box and entered the code that Los Angeles had provided that morning.

The security door opened, and two cars drove into the yard one after the other.

The group got out of the car, leaving lookouts at the front and back, and two surveillance drones were launched from the car.

Edward and Raul led their men into the villa, then dispersed to search the area.

Following the directions given, the two of them found the secret door leading to the basement.

Inside the basement was an unusually heavy safe, which would take considerable effort to open without a combination lock.

But as soon as Epstein spoke, Edward entered the password and opened the safe.

Raul ordered his men to guard the basement entrance, prohibiting anyone from entering without his and Edward's permission.

Inside the safe were several CDs, each labeled with a name.

The first copy Edward saw had Bill's name on it, while the one next to it had Sylvia's name on it.

Without a doubt, the contents of the CD are related to the famous former First and First Ladies of the United States.

In addition to the CD, there are also some documents and photos. If some of these photos were to be leaked, it would certainly cause a huge uproar.

For example, Zipperton, dressed in a Satanic black robe, stands in front of a girl hanging on an upside-down cross.

The girl was naked, covered in wounds, and looked as if she might die at any moment.

Edward remembered seeing a similar videotape at Hawke's place. The girl in the videotape looked exactly like the person in the photograph, but the person in the black robe on the videotape was wearing a goat's head mask, and he didn't know who it was.

In retrospect, that man in the sheep-head mask was Zipperton.

There were many things in the safe, and Edward didn't have time to think about it. He immediately took out the folding box he had brought and started sorting things out with Raul.

Following the Laugh Tale couple, CDs and documents about Joseph Jr. were also placed in a prominent position.

In the last presidential election, Hillary Clinton and Joseph Jr. were running mates. If Clinton had won, Joseph Jr. would have become vice president.

Epstein clearly valued these two men highly.

Edward and Raul emptied the safe, carefully sorting and packing all the CDs and documents, and then thoroughly checked the rest of the basement to make sure nothing was missing.

The two of them, each carrying a suitcase, returned to the villa's living room.

The others were still checking other parts of the villa and came back one after another to report that they had found nothing except some firearms.

Epstein used this villa simply to hide evidence.

Edward and Raul took their suitcases and left with their men, heading straight to the airport to board a private jet and return to Los Angeles.

After the plane took off, Edward immediately called Hawke to inform him.

After listening, Hawke said, "I will send Guti with people to the airport to wait. Once the plane lands, you should immediately take your belongings and return to the Coast Building."

Edward understood the importance of the two boxes of documents and said, "Raul and I will carry them with us at all times and will not let them leave our bodies."

Hawke hung up the phone.

There was another person in the office, Brian, who had come from Sacramento early this morning.

"Have you obtained the crucial evidence?" Brian asked.

Hawke nodded slowly: "The CDs, photos, and some paper documents are not convenient to view over there. The contents of the CDs are unknown, but the photos are shocking."

Brian asked, "In what way? That could incite public outrage?"

After listening to Edward's description, Hawke simply said, "It's roughly about an old man and his lovely granddaughter."

Brian wasn't surprised and said, "There isn't just one St. James Island in this world."

Perhaps in places they are unaware of, there are countless similar islands or clubs.

After all, in the eyes of big shots, ordinary people are just consumables.

This world has billions of people, and it's still growing rapidly; consumables are everywhere.

As a beacon of the world, the United States attracts countless people every year, who flock to it like moths to a flame, entering the country through legal or illegal channels.

What's remarkable is that despite the influx of immigrants, the total population of the United States has not increased much in recent years.

Hawke, who has no saintly heart and doesn't offer excessive sympathy in America, said, "These are none of our business. What we need to do is figure out how to use these things."

Brian, who came from a wealthy family, was also devoid of compassion and was in cahoots with Hawke, engaging in illicit activities: "Things are going very smoothly with Jennifer. After experiencing this shock, Epstein has decided to cooperate fully with us. The family security company will send reliable personnel into the federal prison to provide key protection for Epstein."

Hawke cautioned, "Be careful they don't use legitimate channels to get Epstein to commit suicide."

“What about the prosecutor?” Brian understood what Hawke meant and said, “We can’t stop the prosecutor from seeing Epstein, but if the case is involved, he can’t bring any weapons and must be accompanied by another prosecutor.”

He said with a smile, "These were originally measures that the Donald Party used to restrict us, but now we can use them directly."

Hawke nodded slightly: "The Department of Justice has done its work in advance, and things may change once our intentions are made public."

Tom Emer is bound to turn from ally into enemy, and Brian is prepared: "Jennifer's father is now the Attorney General, so he can withstand the pressure."

His rivals within the party aren't just Tom Emmer; there could be others: "Has Dong Zong made any moves?"

Hawke's men have been keeping a close eye on President Dong: "They're making contacts everywhere, trying to sway people with offers of benefits. It's said they're even planning to arrange a marriage between his eldest daughter, Ini, and a Jewish family in exchange for Jewish support."

Brian said, "Jews are an unavoidable topic in every election. In the past, we were wary of them, but in recent years, with the infiltration of money, Jews have become an inevitable option."

Hawke has been involved in this game for many years and has seen similar situations. Basically, every candidate has a professional advisor on Jewish issues by their side.

Hawke won't say much as long as the other party doesn't conflict with his interests, but if it does, Twitter won't back down. The Ansar is also using Jews, treating them as tools.

The two influence each other and are complexly intertwined.

They're just robbers and unscrupulous merchants.

Hawke not only distrusts Jews, but also takes precautions in advance, saying directly to Brian, "I hope you can inform me of any matters involving Jews on your side."

Brian knew his roots very well and agreed without hesitation: "No problem. I will have someone inform you of all matters involving Jews."

Jews are merely tools used in elections, and even when they succeed in an election, they are still used as tools in the Middle East.

The two discussed this further, noting that the Jewish community is also rife with factions and conflicts.

Whether in North America or Israel, the squid's struggle is even more intense than the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Even the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is almost turning into a continuation of the squid's infighting.

Brian turned back to Epstein and asked, "When will we release these findings to the public? Today's media is already reporting on the huge explosion at the federal prison last night and the shooting at the back gate of the federal prison."

Hawke had already planned ahead, saying, "The explosion and gunshots at the federal prison can't be covered up. The FBI will soon hold a press conference to announce the attack on Epstein and create negative news about the Democratic Party. Other evidence will not be released for the time being. We need to choose a suitable opportunity to take down our opponent directly."

He smiled and said, "Joseph is an open competitor, and also the most suitable one."

Brian completely agreed: "If we rashly change the players, it will be at our disadvantage."

Hawke had another idea: "The news of Epstein gradually opening up, released in appropriate steps, is not something we are doing, but something that helps Tom Emmer in Washington. The credit goes to Tom Emmer, and Tom Emmer is the beneficiary."

Brian laughed: "Should we call Tom Emer separately?"

Hawke nodded: "We'll fight later, and we must make sure Tom Emer takes all the credit."

“Tom Emmer was under immense pressure because of the failed operation to hunt down Benladen.” Brian considered it from a political perspective: “He desperately needed something to offer to divert public attention and salvage his reputation.”

Hawke said, "The Epstein case has always been in the spotlight, and it can generate new public attention with just a little reminder."

Brian laughed and said, "That's right, all of this was started by Tom Emmo, and Tom Emmo is the direct beneficiary. We're just helping him run for a second term."

The failure of the federal prison operation, especially with the involvement of armed groups in the Middle East, will likely prompt Joseph to launch another attack against Tom Emmo.

It's worth noting that Joseph's eldest son is still in the intensive care unit, and the doctors are only trying to prolong his life as much as possible.

After Brian left, Hawke called Campos first.

The Campos presided over the trial of the three Tajit on the island of Catalina.

These three were very stubborn and refused to budge despite all the methods used.

Guti, the interrogation expert, is on his way to help the three men recover their memories using a combination of medication and physical therapy.

After Brian contacted Tom Emmer, Hawke also called the Oval Office to explain the situation.

Tom Emer was in a much better mood in the Oval Office.

Since the SEAL incident, he has been under tremendous public pressure. He finally managed to get the bodies of the SEALs back, which slightly calmed the emotions of the military families and veterans.

But the media outlets that favor the Donald Party relentlessly attacked like mad dogs, refusing to back down.

Tom Emer was increasingly convinced that it was the Donald Party’s rivals who had caused all this trouble, and launched targeted retaliatory measures, which not only sent Joseph’s eldest son to the intensive care unit, but also damaged the reputation of the Joseph family and seriously affected Joseph’s own reputation.

These things did not satisfy Tom Emer; the negative impact of a failed hunt was too great.

The significant progress Los Angeles has made on Epstein is undoubtedly good news.

The chief of staff looked at the president, whose expression had relaxed slightly, and asked, "Has it been confirmed in Los Angeles?"

Tom Emer smiled slightly: "The coercion plan worked. A group of militants from the Middle East attacked the Los Angeles Federal Prison early this morning. They used explosives to clear a path and attacked directly in front of Epstein's cell, scaring Epstein so much that he wet his pants. The militants were captured by the FBI's pre-arranged personnel. After realizing that keeping quiet would not save his life, Epstein decided to cooperate with us."

This was undoubtedly excellent news, and the chief of staff asked rather eagerly, "Did Epstein give any important information?"

“Not yet,” Tom Emer said simply. “He put forward a series of conditions and was worried that we would abandon him if we got something. He only said some less important information.”

The chief of staff thought this was normal: "He has kept his mouth shut for the past four years and it is impossible for him to tell everything at once. That's fine. We can force Joseph to make a mistake again step by step."

Tom Emer nodded slowly and said, "Los Angeles will later send over some evidence proving that Joseph colluded with Middle Eastern extremist forces."

Upon hearing this, the chief of staff had a sudden inspiration and said, "Joseph's collusion with Middle Eastern extremist armed groups also proves one thing: they betrayed America's national interests by revealing the hunt to terrorists, resulting in the deaths of several SEAL team members."

He said sternly, "Joseph is the one who is responsible for the failure of the operation!"

Tom Emer has been under criticism because of the failed hunt, and he needs to clear his name, saying, "Yes, this is an opportunity to turn public opinion around."

The chief of staff asked, "Does Los Angeles have any direct evidence?"

Tom Emer shook his head slightly: "Not yet. If we had direct evidence, why go through all this trouble? We could just use legitimate means to conduct a full investigation into Joseph."

“The attack on the Los Angeles federal prison shows that Joseph is 100% in cahoots with armed groups in the Middle East.” The chief of staff kept coming up with new ideas: “We can launch a media offensive first, creating a public opinion storm that Joseph leaked secrets and betrayed national interests, and then take this opportunity to launch an investigation and hearing against Joseph.”

Congress has held two hearings regarding Tom Emmer.

Standing in the seat of questioning was a great humiliation for Tom Emer, and with the media coverage, it would seriously hinder his chances in next year's election.

Since Joseph wouldn't let him have an easy time, he would definitely not let Joseph have an easy time either.

Tom Emer only considered it briefly before decisively saying, "You and Regina can do it without worry. I'm going to ruin Joseph's reputation and make him a traitor!"

The chief of staff needed some evidence, and said, "I'll go contact Hawke Osment and Brian right away."

The Los Angeles side was very cooperative, providing a series of evidence that same day. (End of Chapter)
