(Bet you didn’t see that feint coming)_2 They wanted to stand and resolve things gracefully.
But they overlooked one issue.
They wanted grace, Chief Glu wanted grace, the California Elephant Party wanted grace; no one wanted to just sit and wait for doom.
The complicated relationships of cooperation could not be addressed with simple solutions, and if the interests of all parties were not properly taken care of, conflicts would inevitably arise afterwards.
It was rely a matter of whether the pressure would explode in the future or remain suppressed for a long ti—provided there was no external interference.
In theory, with the California Clique’s strength being enough and the Democratic Party’s strength also sufficient, after withstanding Achilles’ offensive, their situation imdiately improved, and they could suppress dissatisfaction from all sides for a considerable length of ti.
Things had been going according to Niu Sen’s plan, yet Cheng Daqi inexplicably picked the most impossible mont to start a fight!
In California, Achilles could co and go as he pleased, and the California Clique, where Niu Sen belonged, could handle things however they wanted; they were formidable.
But just like Old Crusoe said, the California Clique wasn’t mighty enough to turn the heavens upside down.
“What do you want, Glu, let’s talk terms, but I must give you a suggestion, Arica is not the Arica of one person or a particular group of people.
The position you’re in now was given to you by the governnt of California and the people of California; you need to respect those of us who support you, always keeping the mindset of threatening us won’t get you far.
We are not enemies, we are friends, Glu.”
That’s why people manage to beco Governor, this statent was so high-level, it sounded like he was scolding a dog even though he was compromised.
Niu Sen, he deserves a salute from a Cheng Daqi as wise.
“Ha, the mouths of politicians, what a ti to be talking about this, Niu Sen, I’m not your friend, my friend wouldn’t respond to my marriage proposal by setting up with a transgender person.”
The Governor feigned a puzzled look and bit back.
“Glu, didn’t I communicate with you about this situation already?
There’s currently no suitable candidate, and though Lavore is a transgender person, he could help your political transition in the future, you were quite satisfied with my arrangent at the ti.”
Glu, don’t fail to appreciate the goodness of people, my kindness has been great enough!
The king of LAPD didn’t speak; he pulled out a handgun, fitted it with a silencer, and then, aid it at Niu Sen.
In the terrified gaze of the Governor, Glu said with a smile.
“Don’t move, for heaven’s sake, don’t move, bullets are blind!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
The Governor wet himself, and Chief Glu disdainfully said,
“Enough with the slick talk, Niu Sen, kill Lavore and I’ll let you leave.”
Glu’s words were like thunder, staggering Niu Sen and making his head spin.
Soon, a woman with a bag over her head was pushed into the room, Niu Sen said in disbelief,
“Do you really want to incite a rebellion and then get killed by the National Guard or Special Forces?”
Niu Sen thought, Glu had gone mad.
—————–
“California has two major cities, Saint Rodu and San Francisco, the forr being our California Elephant Party’s stronghold, the latter the center of the California Democratic Party, you should all be aware of this,”
“But what has happened now?”
“Last year, Niu Sen put his man in the position of Chief of Police in Saint Rodu.
We were too weak before, and now, that Chief brazenly acted, capturing our people.”
“Wolf’s campaign aide was captured, Magnus’s lover was captured, and my son was captured too.
What are they trying to do?”
“So ask why et at the unfinished building?
Ha, because I’m afraid that damn device will have Forbes monitoring us at all tis!”
“What is this all about, they fight, and it’s us who get hurt!”
Who shed the most tears among those seated?
Mister Crusoe’s beloved eldest son has been captured!
Why did Old Crusoe considerately arrange the eting at the unfinished building?
The pitch-black unfinished building didn’t block a gust of wind; the cold winter wind blew, and Old Crusoe’s talk painted a picture of urgency and danger.
This environnt, this situation, this atmosphere.
Heh, you’d be puzzled if you were here.
In a word: What should we do?
“Mister Crusoe, what shall we do?”
Old Crusoe, after all, was the leader of California’s MAGA faction; his words resonated with everyone.
“I don’t know, I’m sorry, I really don’t know.”
This father, whose son had been captured, paced with distress.
He didn’t understand, he really didn’t understand.
“Has Glu gone mad?
Why is he capturing our people, and so many of them?”
Hearing Old Crusoe asking this, Cheng Daqi pushed Mi’er with his hand.
The brunette socialite, it’s your turn!
“Mister Crusoe, could it be that Niu Sen is trying to use us as a bargaining chip to pressure Capitol Hill?”
Before Crusoe could reply, another heavyweight of the California Elephant Party started cursing.
“Shabi rubbish, shabi Achilles, Temir, your brother has to give us an explanation!”
I can curse at Achilles all I want, but who are you?
Are you worthy?
Isn’t this just beating around the bush and making threats?
The brunette socialite was infuriated, but Cheng Daqi tily grasped her hand, shaking his head at her in the gloom.
Wolf, sensing that the topic might spiral out of control, intervened to manage the situation,
“It’s a good suggestion, but it’s not an imdiate solution, LAPD is California’s law enforcent agency, no matter how well we negotiate, as long as LAPD doesn’t release the detainees imdiately, the initiative will remain in Niu Sen’s hands.”
Who truly holds power in Arica?
The big capitalists?
The Great Commander?
No, it’s everyone, the power here is very decentralized.
Reconciliation, compromise, exchanging interests can all be discussed, but being in a position of having people detained ans continuous passive stance, and that is the mountain looming before all those seated here.
