The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 378: Xiong En Wants to Ban Drugs ()
Sonoran Desert.

The former location of Base No. 3.

This is the place Xiunuo chose to transcend his tribulation.

The reason is very simple, the Nascent Soul Tribulation is too dangerous, and Xiu Nuo is not going to use his Nascent Soul Tribulation to cause trouble.

This is the most important step, so for Xiunuo, he will not allow any accidents to happen during this tribulation.

The most important thing is that Arizona's national destiny is broken. Here, at least we can prevent that national destiny from disrupting us.

In fact, if this thing is used as a standard, Xiunuo is suitable to go abroad to overcome the tribulation, but Xiunuo has never tried it outside of America. What if his merits are not recognized outside of America?
Xiunuo doesn't want to take any risks now, even if there is only the slightest risk.

Xiunuo has prepared a lot of things here in the Sonoran Desert.

At this time, a small oasis appeared in the Sonoran Desert. The water hole here was made by Xiunuo before, and the spiritual water was stored here.

Using pure spiritual energy instead of spiritual stones, Xiunuo was able to complete some defensive formations.

Add a protection to overcome the tribulation.

Although there are merits and blessings, for Xiunuo, the more insurance the better.

He knew very well what Nascent Soul represented.

In fact, as one's strength increases, the rules here are completely different from those in the original world.

When you are training your body, you can only do things with extreme caution. When you are training your qi, you can be more unscrupulous.

After building the foundation and forming the elixir, you can do whatever you want as long as you don't expose yourself.

In this world, there is no such thing as a Divine Transformation that can pop up after you reach the Nascent Soul stage to deal with you, so with every improvement you make, what you can do increases almost exponentially.

As for the Nascent Soul, it means that one can be free from all taboos.

As the calamity clouds were brewing in the sky, Xiu Nuo bowed slightly and said, "Outsider disciple Xiu Nuo, respectfully invites the Heavenly Dao Trial."

A loud thunderclap in the sky seemed to respond to Xiunuo's voice.

Then, Xiunuo made a hand gesture and a formation took shape.

Use this thing if you can, there will be Lingyu to replenish it later anyway, save your own means for the end, and use as much help as these external forces can in the early stage.

But what Xiunuo never expected was that the first disaster came so quickly.

I saw the temperature around me began to drop sharply, and even a white frost condensed on the formation.

Xiu Nuo grinned: "So cruel at the beginning? Now I think being struck by lightning is actually a good thing."

The sudden drop in temperature and the condensed white frost meant that this was no longer a simple tribulation, but a true test.

Nine Nether Ice Prison!

Xiu Nuo remembered that this was not the calamity that a Nascent Soul should encounter, but he was used to it. After all, he was struck by lightning when he made a breakthrough to the Qi Training stage.

The Nine Nether Ice Prison calamity is no longer a test of Xiu Nuo's resistance, but a test of whether Xiu Nuo can hold on until the end of this calamity.

The oasis created by Xiunuo was covered by white frost in a moment.

A terrifying extreme coldness invaded Xiunuo's body.

Xiu Nuo sat cross-legged, and in just a moment, icicles had formed on his body.

At this moment, flames were rising around the bright golden elixir in Xiunuo's body, and the flames gradually formed a square tripod shape.

This is the heart furnace.

Around the heart furnace, frost was constantly spreading, but it was forced back by the fire of the heart furnace. The two sides instantly fell into a stage of struggle.

Xiu Nuo always pays attention to his own consumption, because this Nine Nether Ice Prison, to put it bluntly, is a form of torture.

It depends on whether your body or this natural calamity can withstand it first.

Therefore, you must not engage in violent confrontation at the beginning, because that will only lead to an increase in the calamity. After all, after you have used all your means, what will happen next?
While Xiunuo was wholeheartedly trying to overcome the tribulation, he had no idea what was happening outside.

The American Weather Bureau was looking at the satellite images and various detection equipment with a look of confusion on their faces.

"This is unscientific." A meteorological expert looked at the weather map in front of him with a puzzled look: "Is there something wrong? Where did this cold air in the central region come from?"

"Although extreme weather has become more and more frequent in recent years, I've never heard of a cold front suddenly appearing in this place, right?"

The impact of this cold air is more than just its appearance.

It even began to spread around.

Arizona has spring-like weather all year round, and the temperature in winter is not that low. Take Phoenix as an example, the lowest temperature is only around six degrees.

But now, although it is still July, the temperature has begun to drop sharply under the cold wave.

The moment Arizona declared independence, the federal government naturally declared that this was illegal, that someone was deliberately provoking conflict, and that this was an act of treason by the anti-government armed forces.

But Arizona has pointed to several examples of democracy and independence in the world that are supported by the United States.

All those boomerangs that the CIA had once created were now hitting the federal government.

Historically, Arizona was Mexican territory. It was the territory lost by Mexico to the United States after the Mexican-American War. It was also the last of the 48 states in the continental United States to be established as a state.

What we have now is that in a country that is a beacon of democracy, democratic choices are considered illegal.

What a ridiculous thing.

And what anti-government armed forces? The White House has defined the state political party headed by Mallory as anti-government separatists.

In this kind of situation, outside of the United States, most people who are considered to be like this either came to power through armed force or through a coup d'état.

However, Mallory and the current Arizona state government were elected through democratic means.

So, the whole world is watching an extremely strange thing. The United States supports anti-government forces in other countries every day, and now, the same thing has happened in their own country.

No matter what is said, the White House has decided to send troops to wipe out these anti-government organizations.

It was clearly the people of Arizona who demanded independence, but the federal government ignored this and put all the blame on the state government headed by Mallory.

The Nevada Army had already assembled, and when the White House expressed its intention to clean up the separatists, the team had already set out.

The firepower in the hands of the National Guard is ultimately limited, at least it cannot be compared with the information-based and mechanized US military.

Fortunately, the officers that Mallory had previously won over chose to join his camp, either under threats or inducements.

The various military bases that were supposed to be used to control Arizona were all mutinied by officers and soldiers.

Now it became a situation where the US military was fighting against the US military.

There are quite a few military-industrial enterprises in Arizona. Among them, Dillon Aero is located in Arizona, and Raytheon also has a production line here. You know, in another place in the parallel world, Arizona was one of the biggest beneficiaries of the European war.

For military-industrial enterprises, it doesn't matter who they sell their arms to.
Have you forgotten how you got started?
It would be fine if the entire nation boycotted Arizona, but the current situation is that Arizona's independence has not only failed to arouse public outrage, but countless people believe that they should indeed be independent, and we should be independent too.

Look at New York State.

After the various human trafficking and human experimentation scandals were discovered by the "mob", the people are now clamoring for independence.

This time the army entered Arizona, it should have been the first major battle between the two sides.

But the federal government's army suffered a Waterloo after entering Arizona.

It snows in July.

Temperatures in Arizona instantly dropped below freezing.

In other words, it's not just Arizona, it's California as well.

The situation is much the same in Nevada.

Because the Sonoran Desert is adjacent to these three places.

California was the first to react, and the power companies acquired by Xiong En immediately smelled an opportunity to make money.

However, Jia Yu still suppressed some of Xiong En's crazy ideas.

Now that Xiu Nuo is not around, Jia Yu becomes the only guy who can suppress all these people's messy thoughts.

Jia Yu’s idea is very simple. It’s okay to make money first, but once public resentment arises, you must step in to stop the emergence of high electricity prices.

The unusual weather forced federal troops to postpone their plans to enter Arizona.

They were waiting for the abnormal weather to go away, but what no one expected was

This damn cold air not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense.

The July snow turned into a blizzard, and it not only swept California and Arizona, but also began to spread to the surrounding areas.

New Mexico and even Texas experienced snowstorms.

After heavy snowfall in this southwestern state, disasters naturally occurred.

The blizzard also caused the troops who wanted to clear Arizona in one fell swoop to stagnate.

Mallory took this opportunity to make a big TV speech, the content of which was simple: "This is God's gift to us and his punishment for those evil people."

Arizona may have plenty of problems of its own, but now everyone has an external enemy.

Even India knows that when internal conflicts cannot be reconciled, they should shift them outwards.

This shows how useful this trick is.

Arizona's independence was not just a spur-of-the-moment decision made by Mallory. After independence, many companies that announced their withdrawal from Arizona were taken over by the state government.

The gap between state-owned and private enterprises will be reflected at this time.

At least, the united Arizona is organizing people to fight the disaster. Although the prices of daily necessities have increased, they are not too outrageous under the regulation of the state government.

However, the federal government is not optimistic.

States are reaching out for money.

There are many natural disasters in troubled times, and this has come true at this moment.

Xiunuo had no idea what changes his Nascent Soul tribulation had brought to the world.

He only knew that this thing had been going on for too long!
The spiritual energy in the lake is almost depleted.

This duration made Xiunuo suspect that he was being targeted!
My body is full of merit now, so why does it feel like I’m being plagued by karma?
Although the Nine Nether Ice Prison lasted a long time, how long had it been like this? A month, right?

Finally, with the huge formation around Xiu Nuo shattering with a bang, the Nine Nether Ice Prison calamity was finally over.

Xiu Nuo never imagined that the formation he had carefully arranged and the spiritual energy he had prepared could only survive the first heavenly tribulation.

The surrounding desert terrain was already covered with snow.

Then, many meteorologists discovered that the strange cold air had disappeared.

No one knows where it came from, and no one knows how it disappeared.

During this time, many people wanted to go to the Sonora Center to find out what was going on.

However, no one knows how many people lost their way in the snowstorm and turned into ice sculptures, remaining in this snow desert forever.

Now, looking at this thing that suddenly disappeared, a group of meteorologists shouted that meteorology no longer exists and they almost went crazy.

Master Xiu was trembling as he prepared to face the next heavenly tribulation, but he found that the tribulation was still brewing.

Does this mean you know how outrageous you were just now?
But sometimes, when it comes to overcoming the tribulation, Master Xiu only needs to consider how to overcome the tribulation, while the federal government has a lot of things to consider.

For example, now they have to face the pressure from military soldiers.

This extremely strange cold wave did not pass in a day or two, but lasted for almost a month.

It’s not so bad for the rich, but they have to face high electricity bills.

But for ordinary people, the electricity and gas bills of tens of thousands of yuan will instantly make many families go bankrupt.

In order to save electricity, some people have to find ways to keep themselves warm.

For example, making a fire.

Fires occurred frequently during the snowstorm, and those who did not suffer from fires could not escape carbon monoxide poisoning.

Many people also went into their cars to keep warm, but some eventually ran out of fuel and froze to death in their cars, while others were suffocated by car exhaust.

This does not include areas where power outages occurred due to blizzards.

As for what the federal government and even some state governments are doing?
The state governments are asking the federal government for money, and the federal government is making money.

So, during snowstorms, some communications were interrupted which was normal, but after the snowstorm, all kinds of problems popped up.

Some soldiers called their families to report that they were safe, but no one responded.

In America, military service is not an obligation but a profession.

It can be seen from the large number of drug addicts joining the army that many of those who cannot survive join the army to make money.

Therefore, the family conditions of most low-level soldiers are not very good.

Fate favors the unfortunate.

However, this is just a snowstorm. If the federal government actively provides disaster relief, some people may lose their lives, such as the homeless. After all, from the moment they start to wander, their lives have entered a seven-year countdown. But it definitely shouldn't be like this now.

Arizona, a state that was sanctioned after its independence, has a death rate a hundred times lower than that of the federal government.

Moreover, most of the people who lost their lives were those who lacked common sense and killed themselves.

On the federal side, there are countless people who cannot afford the high electricity and gas bills and are freezing to death in their homes.

While all major media outlets remained silent, these tragedies continued to spread through TT.

After the CWN report titled "This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster" appeared, public resentment arose.

Some conservative media also asked questions, directly pointing the finger at the ruling party.

Patch, who was far away in Florida, also posted a video at this time.

Although Florida was not affected at all, it did not stop Patch from cursing.

This guy even used a video of the University of the East fighting the snowstorm to blast the federal government.

"When natural disasters happen, other armies are busy rescuing their own people. Where are our armies? Oh, I remember. Our armies are busy fighting! This is a crappy federal government. They don't do anything about human affairs!"

But for the federal government, the top priority now is controlling Arizona.

Although a lot of people died this time, at least we made a lot of money.

Also, you are a federal autonomous country, and you failed to organize disaster relief. What does this have to do with my federal government?
Regarding this matter, a White House spokesman said that we should have done something at the beginning, but now it is too late. However, Congress has passed an emergency plan, which is a special disaster relief appropriation.

It’s better not to talk about this stuff.

After the White House made this statement, some people began to investigate where the money went.

You wouldn't know the result until you check. After checking, you found out that the rescue company that received the disaster funds was a company that had only been established for one month.

His boss is the founder of a disaster prevention foundation.

And this person is the President’s son-in-law.

No matter what happens outside, our determination to take over Arizona will not change.

Then they discovered that the soldiers of the previous army responsible for the attack were not going to do it anymore and they went on strike.

Just when everyone was having fun here, Xiunuo's second heavenly tribulation came.

The snow around Xiunuo sublimated instantly and disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The temperature rises accordingly.

The next moment, cracks appeared on the ground and the surrounding air was completely distorted.

Every time Xiunuo took a breath, he felt his entire respiratory tract was burning.

He tried to move, but was instantly blocked by four pillars of fire rising from the ground.

Xiunuo narrowed his eyes slightly and trained his body with earth fire!
Xiunuo now has a feeling, is this heavenly calamity going to exhaust his resources or force him to use merit?

I prepared a lot of things this time, and merit can only be a last resort, not a condition that I habitually rely on. As a result, the Nine Nether Ice Prison that lasted for a month consumed most of the things I prepared.

This kind of body training calamity is almost the same meaning.

Didn't I just curse at him when I was going through the tribulation last time? Was it necessary to target him like this?

The Five Elements Moving Technique appeared from under Xiunuo's feet, and the spiritual spring instantly covered his body.

A large amount of spiritual energy was replenished into Xiunuo's body, and the spiritual spring began to boil.

Xiunuo just stayed in the boiling water, using his spiritual energy to resist the high temperature.

But gradually, the spiritual spring was exhausted.

Xiunuo's body cracked instantly.

But with the nourishment of spiritual energy, it was instantly restored.

His whole body seemed to be constantly shedding skin, so Xiu Nuo simply took advantage of this body-building calamity to reshape his body.

After all, this is a rare opportunity to reshape the body outside of the Nascent Soul stage.

But it's obviously not enough to just rely on spiritual energy.

At this time, many people in America felt that they had been feeling a little weak recently.

Xiunuo extracted a portion of the essence of qi and blood from each of the vast number of contract signatories in his sea of ​​consciousness to replenish himself.

Xiu Nuo is going through a tribulation, and Xiong En is also going through a tribulation.

Xiong En looked at the thing in his hand and his face turned red with anger.

"These damn bandits!" Xiong En looked at Coffey: "When! When did they pass the bill!"

Coffey shrugged. "It was submitted during the Phoenix rat plague, and approved when the truth about Phoenix was exposed. They had already completed the planting after Phoenix became independent."

Jia Yu was listening and shook his head: "Does this count as making money from the country's misfortune?"

What made Xiong En so angry was, of course, that someone had stolen his business.

Originally, there were still some places in the United States where contraband was illegal, but now, it seemed as if overnight, all the eastern and central states had legalized it.

Not only was it legal, but they also moved all of Xiong En's hemp cultivation laws over.

While everyone's attention was on Phoenix City, planting had already begun there.

This was obviously prepared in advance.

Obviously, that group of people are extremely jealous of California's ability to make money.

This suddenly awakened their memories that had been dormant for a hundred years.

Now that we have all deindustrialized, why can't we be more extreme?
Didn’t California already give us the answer?

If I'm shameless enough, I can have all the food in Mexico or even Canada. After all, no matter how much food they have, it's not as much as our guns. So, isn't it enough for me to just make money?

As for the goal of food storage, this is not something we farmers and capital need to consider. Even if we have money, we cannot buy it from other places.

Besides, don't other states still grow crops? I'm not the only one who thinks the same way here.

Compared to those damn human experiments, this is nothing.

Then, the time has come to this point.

Although California suffered severe damage from the snowstorm, people are not particularly resentful.

The reason is simple. At the beginning, electricity prices in California skyrocketed like everywhere else.

Because of this incident, some people took to the streets, and then Xiong En, as a representative of the people, stood up and took the lead in lowering prices.

The disaster in New York prompted Xiong En to acquire many power companies and energy companies, so Xiong En was lucky enough to have hit the jackpot.

After all, no one, no matter how crazy, would think that Xiong En was controlling the weather.

Residents of the United States can choose whose electricity to use.

The advantage is market competition, but the disadvantages are needless to say. The $500 per kilowatt-hour of electricity in New York and the skyrocketing electricity prices in various states have already made the problem clear.

It's okay when nothing happens, but when something happens, it can really take your life, or in other words, squeeze all your money out.

Although there was a power shortage, Xiong En had implemented a limited-time power supply, but at least there were no casualties caused by the lack of heating as in other states.

This completely earned Xiong En the title of a pragmatic politician.

At least Californians and even many Americans think so!
Then, Xiong En was robbed.

California is a great place to grow hemp naturally because of the climate.

As a result, this snowstorm and the extremely low temperature and out-of-season weather that lasted for a month almost wiped out the hemp farm's entire investment.

All those things are dead.

And California's free injection bill is still here.

That means demand for hemp is surging in California.

Mexico’s contraband is also finished because of the previous drug prohibition, and now, let alone exporting it, it’s even a problem to meet the free injections within California.

Then Xiong En discovered that the drug dealers from Groove were rampant again in California.

The state government's financial pressure was not evident when it had been maintaining foreign trade, but now that the funding chain has been broken, problems have arisen all of a sudden.

Where is the source of goods?
There is supply, right in the western states that were not affected by the disaster, even in Washington State right above us.

But just as they harvested civilians, this time, these people's scythes were pointed at California.

In the past, California made a lot of money by selling contraband goods at low prices and good quality. Now, these people dare to sell the raw materials at the price of finished products in California.

Xiong En had a dark face: "So, all the money that California made before is now going to be given to those bastards because of my free injection bill?"

"If we don't want those drug addicts to cause trouble, this may be the only way."

"This will become a stain on me! Even though I don't care, it's a bomb that may explode at any time!"

Kofi smiled happily: "Have you finally realized this problem, Xiong En?"

Xiong En slammed the table and said, "I want to ban drugs!"

Jia Yu's eyes lit up.

Kofi quickly stopped him: "Stop it, Xiong En. You are now banning drugs, do you want those drug addicts to kill you? No, including those farmers and other guys who benefit from it. You will end up like those who planned to deal with you."

"Get lost." Xiong En waved his hand: "We are different from them."

Kofi was about to say something, but Jia Yu stopped him.

"It's rare for him to have a sane thought, Kofi."

"Now that's not a normal thought."

Xiong En had a fierce look on his face: "How about killing all the drug addicts? Let them all die of drug addiction overnight, and then I will have one less obstacle in my drug control, right?"

Kofi looked at Jia Yu; "Look, is this a normal idea?"

Jia Yu: “.”

Seeing Jia Yu speechless, Xiong En thought for a moment and said, "Then kill all those farmers. The less resistance, the better."

"Your chain of interests is about the military."

"Let them find someone else!"

Jia Yu thought about it, and then said, "How about this, Xiong En, you come out with me."

"what?"

"Let's go."

"Okay." Xiong En followed Jia Yu into the car. Jia Yu was holding his phone and making arrangements.

Jia Yu asked Will to drive to a place.

Xiong En was very familiar with this place; it was where he made his fortune.

He once paid out of his own pocket to provide free injections to people here, a famous slum in Los Angeles.

The recent snowstorm has passed, and people who used to wear down jackets have now changed into thin clothes.

"What are you doing here, Jia?"

"get off."

"I'll be recognized!"

"I know, get out of the car."

Xiong En had no choice but to get out of the car, but just as he said, he was recognized as soon as he got out of the car.

He was immediately surrounded.

People greeted Xiong En enthusiastically. After all, Xiong En had been a politician for so long, so he knew how to respond.

The easiest way for politicians to build relationships with others is to remember some names. This is Xiong En’s original constituency, and he has not forgotten some of his things.

Xiong En had already looked at a young man and smiled, "You are Cologne, right? It's great to see you. How are you, Cologne? I hope the previous snowstorm didn't have any impact on your family."

Cologne was somewhat flattered when he heard this, and immediately said, "Of course, Mr. Xiong En, thanks to you, although our electricity bill has doubled, it is much better than the electricity prices in other states that are a hundred times higher that I saw on TT. Fortunately, it's only one month, and we can get through it if we grit our teeth."

The people around followed suit.

Except for the power companies that compete with Xiong En, Xiong En's price reduction move has been unanimously praised by both the federal government and the public.

Xiong En smiled and said, "Your father, Cologne, we are old friends. He helped me a lot in the past."

However, after saying this, Cologne's face darkened.

Xiong En was stunned for a moment, and then asked quickly, "Didn't he make it?"

"He survived the snowstorm, Mr. Xiong En." Cologne said helplessly, "But you also know that he has a long history of drug use. If it weren't for the free injection bill, our family might have gone bankrupt long ago, but..."

Xiong En's expression darkened: "What's wrong? Did someone ask you to pay?"

Cologne shook his head: "He is dead, Mr. Xiong En, and is still at home. He will be sent to the crematorium in the afternoon."

The people around made sounds of surprise.

Xiong En said quickly: "Quick, Cologne, take me to see. Oh, damn, what happened to my old friend?"

As he spoke, Xiong En took out his cell phone.

Will glanced at his phone, then pulled it out and started recording.

Jia Yu shook his head: "This guy..."

Soon, they arrived at a simple house and a coffin was being carried out from it.

Cologne ran over and said something, and then Xiong En walked over to see his old friend for the last time.

But the situation inside made Xiong En frown.

It was a skinny body, covered with sores and even many self-inflicted wounds.

Xiong En was stunned. A woman next to him closed the lid and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. Congressman, I scared you. We don't have money to hire a mortician."

Xiong En took out the cash from his wallet, handed it all to the lady, and said, "Old Mike is my friend! He was my earliest supporter, and he shouldn't have ended up like this."

Amid the applause of people around him, Xiong En got on the car.

After getting in the car, Xiong En asked curiously, "Why did you ask me to look at this?"

Jia Yu shook his head and said, "Will, go to the next place."

Soon, they arrived at an abandoned building.

The place stank, and there were some guys at the door moving like zombies, but this was actually their central nervous system being damaged by contraband.

Jia Yu got out of the car and walked in with Xiong En. The smell inside was foul but also had a hint of sweetness.

This building is divided into several floors, and there are even separate compartments inside. Some of the people inside are puffing out smoke, and some have needle holes all over their bodies. They have different shapes, but they all have one thing in common.

It was their skinny, unhealthy bodies and their extremely empty eyes, as if staying here was the meaning of everything for them.

Xiong En watched almost all of this with a frown on his face. After he came out, he said dissatisfiedly, "What on earth do you want me to watch? Who are these people? I don't even know them."

Jia Yu said calmly: "They are all your voters and your supporters."

Xiong En was stunned.

Then, he said in dissatisfaction: "Damn it! Will my supporters not live for many years?"

Jia Yu shrugged his shoulders. "If they die, your votes will be gone. If they stay here, California will lose an unknown number of workers. They may not be able to create value, but they will continue to consume your resources. It may cause families to suffer heavy losses."

"Let's get in the car." Jia Yu walked in front and said, "The boss told me that we won't interfere with any of your decisions, because the boss believes that you are you. It's the same now, Xiong En. I won't interfere with your decision, but maybe you can learn something from this."

Xiong En was silent.

He followed Jia Yu into the car.

Not long after, the car returned to Dark Gold Pharmaceuticals.

Kofi looked at the two people who came back and the silent Xiong En, and asked in confusion: "What did you do to make this kid look like this? Damn it, he went into the room with that actress and when he came out after a minute, he could still shamelessly say that he was happy and didn't care what others did."

Xiong En suddenly said, "Kofi, I want to stop drugs."

"What the hell! You haven't forgotten it yet!"

Xiong En shook his head: "We must ban drugs! I thought it was too simple at the beginning. I thought that with their votes, I could accomplish what I wanted to do, but reality is against us again and again, right?"

"No, what on earth did you do?"

Xiong En didn't answer, but just said: "Coffee, how long do you think it will take for me to enter Congress?"

"Um, at least thirty years old?"

“So how long will it take for me to become president?”

"It will take at least ten years after entering Congress? Or even longer. At least that's the tradition. No one will trust a young boy."

"So it'll be at least twenty years, right?"

"more or less."

"Twenty years! Then all my supporters will be dead! This damn contraband can make us money, but it's burning our own lives!"

Coffey said: "There are always new addicts, right?"

Xiong En still shook his head: "That will take twenty years. I can't wait that long. I have a great idea."

"Huh? What?"

"Legalizing contraband in America is a mistake! A huge mistake! I have proven through practice that this is a mistake! Contraband has no other use except to bring harm! I want to ban drugs! I want America to ban drugs, too!"

"We can't let this mistake continue."

Coffey's body began to tremble: "Shut up, Xiong En, the federal government won't agree!"

"If they don't agree, California will be independent!"

"When the time comes, there will be no need for them to do anything to us! We will go find them too! We will use force to make them surrender and make them agree to ban drugs!"

"So, I should be able to become president before I turn thirty, right?"

Kofi's eyes widened. "How the hell can you live to be thirty like this? Are you crazy? Xiong En! Jia, tell me, did I hear wrong? What does this bastard want to do? Drug prohibition?"

Jia Yu laughed, and laughed happily.

"It's clear that Master Xiong En is preparing to fight an American war on drugs."
