I'm building Gundams in America

Chapter 221 The Golden Shield Forged with Passion (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The dinner that evening was filled with joy and harmony.

Besides Saul and his mother, Marcus, and several members of the Blood Gang were also present.

They were all kids who grew up in the nearby neighborhood, and they often went to Saul's house to eat and drink for free, naturally forming a small circle centered around Saul.

Saul's rise to the position of leader was partly due to his mother's influence.

Aunt Silla's racial talents are off the charts; she's witty and humorous.

In addition, Alex was also very eloquent, and at the dinner table he told everyone about the current development of the University of Tokyo, as well as the various stories he had encountered during his time in Seattle.

The dining table was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before dispersing.

Wayne and Alex didn't leave; they waited at the Saul's house until midnight. When they heard a car horn outside, Alex slung his bag over his shoulder and said to Wayne, "Brother Wayne, my friend has arrived. Thank you for your help. I hope we can meet again at East University someday."

Wayne smiled slightly and said in Mandarin, "Golden shield, forged with blood and sweat, this is my duty."

"Go on, Alex, brother. I'll have Jett accompany you to the border. If you need any help, remember to call."

Alex was taken aback, not understanding the meaning behind Wayne's first sentence.

What golden shield forged with blood and sweat? Isn't that talking about the University of Tokyo police?

However, there was no time to think about it at the moment. He hugged Wayne, nodded solemnly, turned around and walked out of the room, getting into a car parked at the door with the fully armed Jet.

He rolled down the window, waved to Wayne, started the engine, and disappeared into the night.

From the darkness, Rhodes, who had been on guard the whole time, emerged and approached Wayne, saying, "Sir, are you planning to go to Chinatown tonight?"

Wayne watched the car disappear into the distance, shook his head, and said, "No rush. Now that we know the place, we can go there anytime—let's go back."

Only a handful of people, including Wayne, knew that Alex had returned home.

Before he fully announces this news, those who are secretly watching him or even want to kill him will inevitably come one after another.

Wayne only needs to wait and see.

When they returned to the underground shelter, most of the fanatics were already asleep.

Only Isabella and a few other girls were still fiddling with their phones, chatting with whoever they were talking to.

Wayne was surprised to find that some of the houses in the shelter that had been abandoned for hundreds of years had been cleared out by old William and others.

They even laid flooring, turning it into a simple house that you could move into right away.

Meanwhile, the water supply in the original underground shelter, including the bathrooms and toilets, as well as sewage, all utilized the municipal pipes that ran through the underground space.

Although it's usable, it's not as convenient as it seems.

After construction by William and others, pipes were brought in from the outside warehouse, and a dedicated bathroom was built inside the underground shelter using the sewage pipe at one end.

Since the underground shelter is located next to a century-old shopping street, there are still many old, dilapidated houses there. With continued construction, even more houses can be built.

It appears that living conditions in underground shelters can continue to improve.

This place is no longer just a shelter from the wind and rain; it can also provide a certain quality of life.

Wayne fell into a deep sleep in his dwelling, and early the next morning, he returned to his tent on the street.

Compared to the previous two days, fewer people came seeking blessings today.

There were only three people.

Even as Wayne walked down Saints Street, some of the people queuing for mutton soup and flatbread, especially some of the women, looked at him with a hint of averted gaze.

Clearly, public opinion surrounding the sexual assault allegations is still brewing.

Those lurking in the shadows, like Wayne, were clearly waiting for a trigger point.

After quickly finishing blessing the three patients, a shout came from outside: "Where is Bruce Wayne? Come out here!"

The voice was very familiar; it was the same voice of Jinshahan, the one from yesterday.

Then came old Billy's voice: "What do you want?! Don't disturb the master's rest!"

Jin Shahan appeared extremely arrogant, shouting, "I know he lives here! Make him come out right now! He's harboring that Dongda spy and sheltering illegal immigrants; that's an even bigger crime!"

"Hand over Alex now, and I might put in a good word for him. Otherwise, the government officials I brought won't let him off the hook!"

Wayne lifted the tent flap and went out, where he saw Jin Shahan and Yang Panzu. Beside them were two rough-looking men, clearly from Dongda University, with the kind of fierceness that comes from being beaten down by American society.

Upon seeing Wayne appear, Yang Panzu's face, covered in numerous bandages, twisted into a ferocious expression. He roared, "Where is Alex?! Mr. Wayne, today is different from yesterday. Officials have come with us. We've already called the police about the harm you caused us yesterday!"

"Hand over Alex right now! He's a fucking East University spy, and an illegal immigrant too. If you dare harbor him, you'll be in big trouble!"

The man standing to the side, whose face was covered in acne, glanced at the time on his phone and said, "Brother Yang, hurry up and finish this. I'm in a hurry to get to my ride-hailing job. My shift is about to end, and I even rented this work card."

Yang Panzu patted the other man on the shoulder and said, "Brother Jiang Chuan, no matter what, you are the propaganda minister of our Free Citizens Alliance. You have to stand firm at this crucial moment."

"And Brother Li Dagang, you've only been in America for a short time, yet you've already joined this great cause, eliminating spies for America. Just think how glorious that is!"

"The Alex incident has become a big deal, even the White House is asking about it. Once we help the American government keep Alex under control, will the government not care about us? The funding will come in like crazy, and our immigration status will be resolved."

"Then we can establish our own online sect. Why bother with ride-hailing services or dishwashing?"

Upon hearing Yang Panzu's words, the other two were filled with excitement, their faces glowing, and they began to envision a bright future.

Yang Panzu was secretly pleased with himself at this moment, and then he made a promise: "Once America recovers and wipes out Dongda University in one fell swoop, we can rightfully go back and take over, and all of you ministers and high-ranking officials will be able to make your dreams come true."

"I know you two, Jiangchuan and Dagang, have been living alone and feeling rather lonely. But things will be different then. Won't all the female students in the country be eager for you to choose from? You can trade a pot of beef for a female student, all kinds of girls are available!"

After hearing these words, both men, including Jin Shahan, were practically drooling, and their eyes instantly lit up.

They live like dogs here, being humiliated by Americans, all they want is to become high-ranking officials.

Today is a chance to start!

The group then looked at Wayne with hostility in their eyes.

Yang Panzu said, "Mr. Wayne, I still call you 'Mr' because we are both American citizens, but your harboring of a spy from Dongda University is, in a sense, treason—I really don't want to say this, please forgive me."

"Furthermore, I've done some research on you online and know that you've been protecting illegal immigrants—so this time I've brought in someone who can truly teach you a lesson—"

As he spoke, Yang Panzu took out his phone and dialed a number, saying, "Sir, I've found them! They're in the middle of this street!"

Soon, the roar of engines could be heard as two unlicensed SUVs drove up from the other end of the street and stopped in front of Wayne's tent.

Immediately, seven or eight agents dressed in combat uniforms and bulletproof vests filed out and, led by a captain, quickly walked up to Wayne.

Yang Panzu immediately pointed at Wayne and said to him, "Sir, this is the person I was talking about who sheltered illegal immigrants! He also harbored a spy from the University of Tokyo named Alex. This spy slanders the American system online every day, and it even got reported in the New York Times!"

Wayne looked at the man in charge and the agents behind him, and smiled.

The agents in front of him all gave Wayne shy smiles.

The team leader smiled and said, "Manager Wayne."

The ICE logo on his body was particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.

Wayne nodded and said, "Theodore, you're here—how are you feeling?"

The visitor was Theodore Weiss, the squad leader of the sixth team of the ICE Seattle Field Office's Arrest Operations Division.

The one who begged Wayne to treat his syphilis last time.

Theodore smiled shyly, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Thanks to you, I've been feeling much better since last time—I was just thinking of coming to Saint Street to have you bless me, as you suggested, but I didn't expect to receive a tip today. As soon as the other party gave the address, all the brothers rushed over—"

"If Kevin and the others hadn't been on administrative leave because of the last case, I wouldn't have had a chance to come here—"

"What do you think we should do with these idiots?"

As he spoke, he pointed to Jin Shahan and the other three.

Jin Shahan, Yang Panzu, and the others were stunned, their mouths agape, as if they were hallucinating.

Upon hearing Theodore's last words, Yang Panzu immediately shouted, "Commander Theodore, what are you doing?! This man is harboring illegal immigrants, protecting spies from Dongda University! You're just abusing your power for personal gain! I'm going to report you! I'm going to expose you in the media!"

Theodore sneered and said, "You damn illegal immigrant, you better watch out. Standing in front of you is Chief of Staff Wayne, the honorary head of the Arrest Operations Division of our ICE Seattle Field Office. You're saying he's protecting illegal immigrants?"

Under the shocked gazes of Yang Panzu and the others, Wayne calmly took out a golden badge and pinned it to his chest.

The huge ICE lettering above gleamed in the sunlight.
