The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 382: Support or Die
When Xiunuo returned to Los Angeles, he was confused.

Wait? This is Los Angeles?
Seen from the sky, Los Angeles looked like it had suffered a natural disaster, with uprooted trees and various makeshift houses overturned.

The streets are full of garbage and waste, and there are tents in various sheltered places.

How long did it take me to survive the tribulation?

How did Los Angeles suddenly become like this?

That kid Xiong En was clamoring for independence, and then the federal government attacked him?

its not right.

The Port of San Diego is in a terrible state right now.

Xiu Nuo took out his cell phone, locked onto the locations of Xiong En and Jia Yu, and then appeared beside them.

The moment Xiunuo appeared, Will raised his weapon in an instant: "Who is it?"

Xiunuo waved his hand, and Will, who had been extremely alert just now, stood at attention instantly.

"Don't be nervous Will." Xiu Nuo sat down casually here and looked at Jia Yu and Xiong En.

The two were still in a daze. Jia Yu thought about it for a moment, and his eyes were filled with enlightenment.

But Xiong En spoke first: "Sir?"

Xiunuo has changed a lot now, completely different from before.

Xiu Nuo smiled and said, "Don't you recognize me?"

Xiong En blinked and said, "Sir, during the time you were missing, did you go to Korea for plastic surgery?"

Xiunuo: “.”

"Where's your hair? Why is it bald?"

Xiu Nuo scolded angrily: "Don't always pay attention to inexplicable things!"

Xiong En scratched his head: "Don't blame me, sir. Your head is reflecting light and it's dazzling."

Xiunuo raised his hand and snapped his fingers. The next moment, a head of jet-black hair grew out from his head at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xiong En nodded slightly: "His hair has grown back, but his appearance hasn't changed. The gentleman must have had plastic surgery."

Xiu Nuo looked at Jia Yu: "How long has it been since Dak beat him up?"

Jia Yu smiled and pointed at Will: "Boss, Will can't hold it anymore."

"I almost forgot." Xiu Nuo removed the immobilization spell and asked, "What happened in Los Angeles? How did it become like this after I was away for a while?"

Hearing this, Jia Yu smiled bitterly and said, "It's not just Los Angeles."

Then, Jia Yu recounted what had happened recently.

The more Xiu Nuo listened, the more frightened he became. He was not frightened by the fact that the scope of this calamity was so large, but he was frightened that it was worthy of you, America!

With the technological level of this world, you guys actually turned some natural disasters that you could have totally survived into millions of refugees. You guys really know how to make money.

But the strange thing is that although the impact was so great, Xiu Nuo did not see any karma.

So, should this karma be blamed on America or on the heavenly calamity?

No, no, no, it’s definitely a natural disaster, this is purely a man-made disaster.

Xiu Nuo asked, "So, those media are still suppressing the news?"

"Yes, there is also an investigation bill." Jia Yu said: "Congress is ready to sanction TT, saying that they undermine national security."

Xiu Nuo was stunned: "What did they do?"

"Well, nothing much was done. The victims just shared their experiences." Jia Yu said, "Other than that, there seems to be nothing else."

"So," Xiuno held his chin, "telling the truth will undermine national security?"

"That seems to be the meaning."

Xiu Nuo flipped open his phone and took a look, then said, "It seems like he has no intention of slowing down at all."

Jia Yu smiled and said, "TT's headquarters is in Los Angeles."

"Washington asked the state government to sue TT, but we rejected it. What a joke! What California is doing now is relying on TT to win public support. We must be crazy to take action against them."

Xiunuo nodded.

Xiong En thought of something and said, "Sir, since you are back, I have something to tell you. I am going to ban drugs."

Xiu Nuo was stunned, then looked at Xiong En with interest: "Come on! Tell me more about it!"

Xiong En repeated what he had said before, and then said: "The problem now is, how to solve the problem of drug addicts? Also, this thing is not easy to promote. This natural disaster is an opportunity, but many people are looking forward to returning to their old business after the disaster."

Xiu Nuo waved his hand and said, "It's okay, kid. I've been wanting to say this for a long time. You won't last long in the contraband business. I'm glad you have such an idea. Go ahead and do it. Don't worry, no one will hinder you."

Xiong En's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"Really!" Xiunuo said seriously.

Xiu Nuo looked at Jia Yu and said, "I plan to create a truly fair platform."

"what?"

Xiu Nuo smiled and said, "CWN is not enough, right?"

"what do you mean?"

"Help TT share some of the pressure. We have our own server, right?"

"Yes."

"Come and do me a favor. Your AI spirit seems quite interesting."

"no problem."

What Xiunuo wants to do is to create a 'real' free platform that cannot be monitored by the American government.

Although Xiu Nuo knew that true freedom was actually the greatest violation of freedom, and he also knew that all kinds of monsters and demons would appear in it, but.
What does this have to do with me, Master Xiu? No one really thinks I'm doing good things, right?

If Master Xiu does not take advantage of the time when this conspiracy theory is at its most popular to harvest some incense, he will be punished by God.

As he said that, Xiu Nuo looked at Xiong En: "By the way, I saw that the scenery in Los Angeles suddenly became more beautiful. Is the rain coming?"

Xiong En nodded quickly: "Yes, Jia Yu also asked us to drain all the water from Silver Lake in advance. Now we control the area around Silver Lake."

"That's perfect. Let's take advantage of this opportunity. I guess most drug addictions will be eliminated." Xiu Nuo said, "In this way, you only need to deal with the farmers and stakeholders."

"Understood sir!"

Xiunuo and Jiayu left.

Xiong En was more reliable this time and immediately found Kofi to discuss the matter.

Kofi saw that Xiong En didn't look like he was joking, so he said helplessly, "Well, there is good news, Xiong En. Recently, there are fewer people lining up at the free injection site, but there are a lot more people at the relief site."

Xiong En nodded slightly. He took this matter very seriously.

After all, this is the first step to becoming president!
So, it was rare that although Xiunuo Jiayu was not there, Xiong En called all his "own people" over to ask about various details.

When Jim heard about the drug ban, he agreed wholeheartedly.

There was no way around it before, but Jim is ultimately a very normal guy.

So, the very next day, Xiong En submitted a new anti-drug bill to the parliament.

Everyone in the state legislature was dumbfounded. No, it was you who strongly supported it at the beginning, and it is still you who are opposed now?

You are so shameless, you are really a born politician!

Before the parliament could react, Xiong En had already prepared his speech.

"After several natural disasters in California, I must admit to everyone that I made a mistake."

"One big mistake I made was my attitude towards contraband."

"Or rather, this was the most wrong decision I made as a young man. As everyone knows, I was once a drug addict. My judgment did not come from my knowledge, but from my experience."

"But over the past year or so, I've discovered that things aren't as simple as I thought. I know the harm of illegal drugs, so I hope the government can control them to reduce the financial burden on those who are addicted to them. I thought all this would make us all better off."

"However, reality slapped me hard in the face. I believe those who know me well already know that, Old Mike, my best friend has left me forever."

"He was my strongest supporter and had given me a lot of comfort when I was hit hard. I had wanted to help him countless times, but he always told me, 'No, Xiong En, if you really want to help us, just be a good congressman.' But just before, when I went to see him, I found that he was dead."

"You know what? The old guy survived the snowstorm, but he still died."

"When I saw him for the last time, his appearance deeply touched me. His family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to hire an undertaker, so they had to keep old Jack in such a miserable state."

"His child, Colon, told me that they were very grateful to me because I helped them survive the snowstorm and because my free injection bill provided some financial relief to their family." Xiong En choked up when he said this: "But... I know that it might be me... who killed him."

"If there was no free injection bill, he might have thought about quitting drugs because of his family's financial difficulties. However, it was because of the free injection bill that my old friend was tortured to death by that drug."

There are actually very few such addicts. They will only make their families deeply in debt until they can no longer afford a penny.

However, this does not prevent every drug addict from feeling that he can be a "good person".

This is also what Xiong En used.

"This is the first time I've seen someone die from contraband. I can say responsibly that this is the most miserable way of death I've ever seen. Even though I've been on the front line of disaster relief recently and have seen countless tragedies in disaster areas, I still think so."

"Perhaps we can survive a natural disaster with the help of technology, our unity, and our humanity. But...what about contraband?"

"I was too young. I thought that since the federal government supported the legalization of contraband, it was not that harmful. It was just a way for the unscrupulous rich to squeeze the last bit of money out of us. So I wanted to change all that. I wanted to make sure that the low-cost stuff no longer became a burden on countless families."

"But I was wrong, I was really wrong." Xiong En was silent for a long time before he said, "Because I ignored the nature of the contraband!"

"The human traffickers use him to control women to work on the streets."

"Those gangs use it to control ordinary people to fight for them!"

"Those hospitals use him to control patients and let them fend for themselves!"

"This is a demon that can make people lose control of themselves, causing them to lose everything and harm themselves and their families!"

"This thing is not some damn condiment, it's a drug! It will erode your life, it will control your mind, it will put your life on a countdown!"

At this point, photos appeared on the big screen behind Xiong En.

There were countless people with distracted eyes and countless zombies in the building. You could only see desolation and death from them.

"Does anyone know who they are?" Xiong En asked the people below.

Someone yelled, "A bunch of drug addicts, Xiong En, we have seen too many of them." "Yes, I used to think so too." Xiong En said, "But I am very lucky that I have a good teacher who told me that yes, they are a bunch of drug addicts."

"But he is also your compatriot, your voter, and the one who supports you the most!"

Xiong En's voice became higher: "And now, their lives have entered the countdown! And there will be more and more people like this! More and more!"

"My friends in parliament told me not to be afraid of losing votes, because if one group of drug addicts dies, another group will come."

These words caused a great commotion below.

The guy in the parliament watching the live broadcast was already cursing: "Who! Who the hell said that to him!"

Xiong En shook his head: "But I don't think so, and I don't agree with it. I need to be responsible for their lives. I can't let down the people who support me. I must save them from the quagmire."

"Just like California's faster rescue efforts than other states, California is willing to take the risk of confronting the federal government to rescue. If I give up on them today, I think drug addicts will continue to appear and my votes will not be cut off. In the future, can I also give up on you just like the federal government gave up on disaster victims?"

"I'm not that kind of person. I used to be young, but I've grown a lot this year. Old Mike's death made me completely sober. I'm grateful for my youth."

"Because it won't make me stubborn, it will make me willing to change, and it will allow me to listen to more voices and see more correct things."

"So, I declare that I will ban drugs! I will push for the strictest drug laws! I will wipe the damn thing off the land of California!"

"Of course, this was not a snap decision. I am very grateful for that rain. Although the thunderstorm before the rain was a bit scary, after the wind and rain, the sun will shine again on the earth. This rain is our savior."

"What I can tell you is that the rumors about this rain are all true! Yes, no one knows more about this rain than me! Those damn conspiracy theories are not fake, they are all true! Dark Gold Pharmaceutical will provide free physical examinations, and everyone can come and check to see if your body has become better than before."

"Or rather, you can feel your body changing."

"As for why I know this? Because someone found us and hoped that we would take over Kewo Pharmaceuticals and continue the experiment, but Dark Gold Pharmaceuticals refused. However, after the refusal, Dark Gold Pharmaceuticals has been studying this thing. We found that people who were caught in the rain were like lucky people chosen by God."

"And now, there are very few people lining up in front of the injection site, which is proof. So, I hope all the guys who got caught in the rain will stop touching the damn contraband! At the same time, drug rehabilitation centers will be added in various parts of California to provide free drug rehabilitation services to all people who want to quit drugs!"

"I know that after this speech, my approval rating may drop significantly, and many people will feel that I betrayed them. But... I don't care."

"I just want you to survive, because now I know this is wrong. Just like that damn illegal federal disaster relief bill was wrong."

"Since it's wrong, why don't we correct it?"

After Xiong En finished his speech, he bowed deeply to the audience.

"I apologize to everyone for my past mistakes. I will never say that maybe we should have done something before, but now it's too late. I will only say that we should find the problems and correct them! This is the responsibility of a politician and what a government should do!"

After saying this, Xiong En raised his hand.

There was a brief silence below, followed by a chorus of cheers.

These people were originally screened out. They may not be drug addicts, but they are definitely Xiong En's die-hard fans.

It can even be said that if Xiong En had said these words at any time before, he would have been greeted with boos.

But not now.

Because just before this, Xiong En did something else.

CWN launched a disaster relief donation program. Logically speaking, this kind of program that tends to attract attention will not have much influence, because the people have too much anger to vent, and no one is too lazy to watch something like yours that is obviously a show.

Then everyone realized they were wrong.

Because Xiong En himself, as the fundraising director of the state government, personally took the lead in raising donations.

And the first person is his father.

Xiong En held the camera and said something like, "Shouldn't you do your part to help the disaster area?" He successfully got a donation of $100 million from his father.

Dak's gloomy face made everyone sitting in front of the TV burst into laughter.

Everyone said that Dark Bazel did not give birth to a son, but a creditor.

But that’s not all, Xiong En is not just Huo Huo’s man in this show. He brought a camera team and started knocking on the doors of those luxury houses.

The audience really loves to see those once high-ranking wealthy people being morally kidnapped in front of the camera.

Those guys greeted them with smiles at the beginning, but the change in their expressions after they heard that Dak donated 100 million yuan was something everyone talked about with relish.

They see it as the poor's fight back against the rich.

Later, the most outrageous time, Xiong En flew all the way to New York on a private jet and "raised" more than 20 million from an "old friend" who happened to be away from home and went to New York for vacation.

Now people in the rich circle say that Xiong En is a robber in a suit and he is carrying out legal robbery!
But to the people, Xiong En is a true hero.

California was hit hard by the disaster, but compared to other states where people were still trapped in their houses, the situation in California was much better. TT was full of videos of Californians sharing their safety and happiness in rescue stations.

The following comments are quite sour.

This also proves that all the money was indeed used for disaster relief.

This guy suddenly came out to admit his mistake when he had a great reputation. Who would think he was wrong?
The speech that Coffey gave was very good.

Xiong En is not slapping himself in the face, but is an example of a prodigal son returning home.

Inspired by the death of his friend, the young man who had been deceived by the federal government woke up and decided to correct his mistakes and start a new life.

What a Hollywood script! What a plausible explanation.

If you dare to say something bad about Xiong En at this time, the fan club will definitely explode immediately.

The first thing you do is ask your father to donate 100 million first.

The LAPD responded most actively.

Those in the eastern states who knew that the western states had no production originally thought this was an opportunity to make a fortune. As a result, those guys who had been happily making money before were suddenly arrested.

They were all confused.

Isn't it about promoting the bill, but hasn't it been carried out yet?
But the LAPD used illegal sales to catch them. Do you have a California cultivation and sales license?
These people remember that this was not the case when they first arrived, because if they sold more, the California state government might pay less.

So at the beginning, California and them were completely ignored.

But now it's time to kill the pig.

These guys have made a lot of money in the past two months. Since it was legal in California, they initially transferred the cash as quickly as possible, but later became bolder after they discovered there was a political consensus.

Now the result is that all the money has been confiscated.

As to whether this bill can be implemented.

Naturally, there was strong opposition in the state legislature.

You can cancel your free injections, and everyone will definitely agree with you.

But you can’t fucking ban drugs!
How can we make money if you ban drugs?
But more than a year has passed, and everyone seems to have forgotten this person's methods.

Before they could threaten Xiong En, their family appeared on Mexican soil.

The good news is that Mexicans are pretty down to earth these days.

Next, there are several agricultural associations that are putting pressure on the state government and parliament.

Although hemp is no longer in production now, who wouldn’t want to continue making big money like before?

The weird weather finally passed, and they had already spent a lot of money to buy a lot of plants, and they were just waiting to plant them.

Now that things are better, you want to ban drugs again?

At the Bazel family estate, Dak looked at the people in front of him with a headache.

This is the person in charge chosen by the farmers in California.

One of the white men slammed the table and said, "Dak! Have you forgotten how we supported you in the beginning? What do you mean now? Xiong En said to ban drugs, so ban drugs! What should we do!"

Xiong En stood aside and said, "You have made a lot of money this year, right? What should we do? Go back and continue to grow crops. The price of crops will definitely go up after this natural disaster."

"And now that western states have started growing this stuff, the price of contraband will be lower."

A chubby guy snorted, "No matter how low it is, it's still more profitable than food!"

Xiong En said dissatisfiedly: "So, what do you mean?"

"Stop pushing your damn drug law! Don't forget how we supported you in the beginning! We can support you, or we can oppose you, Xiong En!"

Xiong En frowned: "Are you threatening me?"

"Your damned actions will be exposed. You have touched the interests of too many people, Xiong En! We can do it!"

Just at this moment, the door was pushed open.

Xiu Nuo walked in, stretching lazily. "What happened? Why is it so noisy?"

The farmers saw the Oriental man who broke in, and then looked at Dake. They were about to say something dissatisfied, but they found that Dake greeted them respectfully: "Boss, it's just a small matter."

"Why are you making such a big fuss about such a small matter?" Xiu Nuo sat down next to him and said, "Xiong En, tell me about it."

Xiong En smiled bitterly and said, "What else could it be, sir? They don't support me in fighting drugs, and they threaten me with votes."

These farmers’ representatives were secretly shocked. Why was Xiong En so respectful?
Who is this Oriental man?
"Do they have a lot of votes?" Xiuno asked.

Xiong En sighed: "It's the group they represent, probably the farm union?"

"I understand." Xiu Nuo looked at Xiong En and said, "Kid, let me teach you a way."

"You say."

“Violence cannot solve all problems.”

"what?"

"But it can solve all problems." Xiunuo said, waving his hand gently.

The next moment, the heads of the five representatives flew up.

These people still had an expression of disbelief on their faces until they died!

They didn't even know what was going on, and they were cautious and didn't say a word after this Oriental man came in.

As a result, how come I can see my butt?

Dak was stunned. Something was wrong. What happened to the boss?
Didn't the boss always resort to tactics in the past? Why did he just start after asking a few questions this time?

Xiong En was excited: "So that's what it means!"

Xiu Nuo looked at those heads and said, "Who do you think you are if you don't agree with the drug ban?"

Then, Xiu Nuo looked at Xiong En and said, "Send their heads to the guys from the Farmers' Union, put them on their desks, and tell them."

Xiu Nuo grinned: "When it comes to drug prohibition, you either support it or die. There is no third choice."
