Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

"Ugh! It's so boring here!"

"It's not even half as fun as the Perossi family's."

As the auctioneer's gavel fell, Gordon's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.

He looked around, tapping his toes impatiently on the ground, his eyes revealing indifference and boredom towards the antiques and works of art.

Henry, noticing his younger cousin's impatience, turned his head and asked curiously, "Was the Perossie's party fun?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing Henry's question, Gordon replied excitedly, "Last time Gavin took me to Paul Pelosi's party, it was such a lively affair!"

The music was deafening, and the people on the dance floor were having a blast, everyone was so energetic.

Unlike here, the atmosphere is so heavy it almost makes you want to doze off.

Gavin?

Paul Pelosi?

Upon hearing these names, Henry immediately understood who the two people Gordon was referring to were.

Gavin was none other than Gavin Newsom, the future famous governor of California. He and Gordon were about the same age and were best friends.

His family is also a prominent family in San Francisco, and by Gavin's generation, it had been passed down for five generations.

His grandfather, William Newsom, was a close friend of Democratic Party member Pat Brown, while his father, William Alfred Newsom III, was Gordon's high school classmate and friend.

What's even more noteworthy is that a few years ago, Gordon became Gavin's godfather (*^_^*)

By this calculation, Henry's grandfather naturally became Gavin's godfather.

As for Paul Pelosi, he is a distant relative of Gavin Newsom and the husband of the famous Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.

Gavin's aunt, Barbara Newsom, was once married to Ronald Pelosi, who is the brother of Paul.

Although Barbara and Ronald are divorced, the two families maintain a good relationship because Barbara herself is very outstanding.

Henry observed the glint in Gordon's eyes and realized that the reality of that party was far more complex than described.

As someone who has experienced many time travels over the past year, he has a deep understanding of the dark side behind the so-called high society.

Those seemingly glamorous social occasions often conceal despicable secrets.

"Did they ask you to participate in any special activities?"

Or will you get something?

Henry asked, his tone serious.

"Of course not!"

Noticing Henry's sharpening gaze, Gordon quickly explained, "I wouldn't dare touch those things."

I've personally witnessed people become addicted to that stuff, and as a result, they become completely abnormal.

I don't want to take any risks.

"Um."

Henry nodded after hearing this, "It's good that you didn't try."

"But does your father know you went to that party?"

"Uh, well..."

Gordon's expression changed slightly, showing some unease. He hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "I haven't told him yet."

I'm afraid he'll worry if he finds out.

"Oh my god, you've really given me a tough problem."

"Damn it, they're really audacious to take you to a place like that without permission."

Seeing that Henry seemed about to blame his playmate, little Gordon quickly explained, "Brother Henry, don't blame Gavin and the others, I asked to go..."

There was a hint of unease in his eyes.

"Alright, I don't want to hold them accountable right now."

Henry looked reassuringly at his cousin, who was about to enter puberty, "But you must understand that you are still a minor, and there are some things you cannot try lightly."

Especially things that might negatively impact your health and future.

"I understand, Brother Henry."

Gordon sensed the concern in Henry's words and looked slightly embarrassed, but he still nodded. "I just feel that sometimes life is too monotonous and I want to try some new things."

I understand how you feel.

"Normal exploration and experiences are fine, but you absolutely must not get involved with any of the latest trendy weird stuff!"

You mean sheep...

"So you really did know!"

Henry immediately interrupted him, his tone turning serious, "You must never touch those things, they will turn you into a piece of trash that is neither human nor ghost."

"You should absolutely not be involved in games that involve eating sheep or anything similar."

If you get involved, we'll no longer be brothers.

"But I've heard that sheep parts have souls, and eating them can elevate our souls and maintain our physical health!"

Upon hearing Gordon's words, Henry raised his voice, his tone filled with warning: "These are all lies!"

The so-called "sheep" game not only offers no benefits, but can also ruin a person's physical and mental health.

Those claims about "sheep" are nothing but rumors used by oil swindlers to lure ignorant young people into a trap.

"Henry, what's wrong?"

"Yes, Henry, what made you so angry?"

Henry's voice prompted an inquiry from the Mellon sisters, who were sitting in front of him.

They had been observing Henry, but because of previous reasons, Henry had been deliberately avoiding them.

Seeing an opportunity, he turned around and asked.

Seeing the gazes around him, Henry realized that he was losing control of his emotions. He took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"I'm sorry, Rachel, Aria."

Gordon and I were just discussing some personal matters, and we didn't realize we'd gotten a little too loud.

Gordon realized his words had attracted attention, and he smiled a little embarrassedly, saying to the Mellon sisters, "It's okay, Sister Rachel, Sister Aria, we were just chatting."

Rachel glanced at Henry, then at Gordon, and seemed to sense Henry's tension and Gordon's unease.

"In that case, you two can continue your conversation."

However, Henry, if you need any help, remember to let us know.

"Thank you, we will."

Henry responded with a smile, while gesturing to Gordon with his eyes.

Gordon quickly nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, the Mellon sisters turned back to continue watching the auction.

Henry lowered his voice and continued to say to Gordon, "Gordon, remember my words, don't try those dirty things lightly."

If you're truly feeling bored with life, we can work together to find some legitimate ways to enrich it.

"I understand, Brother Henry."

Henry's worldview has been somewhat overturned by his recent understanding of sheep culture.

Although he always knew that people with abundant material resources sometimes seek extreme stimulation due to spiritual emptiness;

But he never imagined that this pursuit would be so insane!
