The Wolf of Los Angeles.

As darkness fell, the homeless people handed over their share for the day and left the house one after another.

The remaining seven or eight people were all Marcelo's own men, brought over from the Flower Butterfly.

Once everything was completely quiet, Marcelo instructed his men to guard the main entrance, then went up to the second floor of the house, opened the innermost room, and met Carvajal and Fiona.

Carvajal asked, "Your people picked up the waste paper."

Marcelo scratched his afro, sat down opposite Fiona, and said, "I checked the jar he brought over; those scraps of paper aren't there. He must have hidden them."

“My people are always very proactive in their work,” Carvajal said, describing the situation at the supplies company. “If nothing unexpected happens, they will likely get into prison through my channels.”

Fiona chimed in, saying, "The higher-ups have decided to put pressure on Epstein. They might signal that Epstein can't withstand the pressure, at which point they won't be able to tolerate it any longer and will inevitably take action."

Marcelo pulled a louse from his messy hair, popped it with a snap, and said, "Then let them do it. I can't wait. I used to think being a homeless person wasn't so bad, carefree every day. But now I realize that this kind of life is torture."

Carvajal sneered, "When we sent you to the supplies company, you looked disgusted and said you weren't free."

“I never imagined being a homeless person would be so troublesome.” Marcelo was trained by Campos, who had been homeless himself. It wasn’t just for show; he fully immersed himself in the homeless lifestyle.

Fiona reminded him, "Now is the crucial moment, be patient for a little longer."

Marcelo quickly replied, "I was just making a casual complaint."

Fiona glanced at her watch and said, "Keep an eye on the people who have infiltrated your team, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

Carvajal replied, "We will not underestimate any opponent."

Marcelo nodded very seriously.

"I'm leaving now." Fiona walked towards a wardrobe that looked unusually heavy.

Marcelo tapped on his phone, and the wardrobe automatically slid aside. Fiona quickly slipped through the exposed hole, passed through the dark corridor, and entered a house back to back.

When she came out of the house, she was on a different street.

Fiona got into the car and met up with Betty, who was waiting there. She asked, "Did you make plans?"

Betty put away her phone and said, "Let's go to the nearby Bellint supermarket."

The two drove to a nearby supermarket, each grabbed a shopping bag, and after waiting for about the right amount of time, went inside together.

They were all dressed professionally, indistinguishable from the Latina housewives living nearby, and even their car was a cheap, secondhand Hyundai.

Not long after the two entered the supermarket, two men who clearly had mixed-race features also arrived.

Ambrose, whose appearance is somewhat European and American, brought his entourage to purchase food and other daily necessities.

The supermarket was crowded, and shopping carts inevitably bumped into each other while people were queuing to pay. Ambro's cart collided with someone.

They apologized to each other and quickly parted ways.

After paying, Betty and Fiona picked up their shopping bags and quickly left the supermarket.

Once they were in the car, the latter said, "Is it absolutely necessary to meet?"

During this meeting, the two sides did not exchange any information; they simply glanced at each other.

Betty explained simply, "He's like a kite we've released, floating alone in the sky. We want him to know that the person flying the kite is always holding the string firmly."

Fiona, recalling her experience in the Cthulhu organization, said, "This will ensure that he doesn't have psychological problems."

Betty started the car: "Let's go, we can go back now."

On the other side, Ambrose, seeing that his own people were still there, finally felt relieved when he returned.

This is Los Angeles, our own base of operations, and all of us, including myself, have long been exposed to our presence.

Ambro is now relaxed and ready to stay in Los Angeles for an extended period of time to spend with his family, as long as he can get through this period.

The only problem was that the people who helped them get to Los Angeles remained hidden in the shadows, contacting them via clandestine phone calls and never showing themselves.

Having learned about Epstein in recent days, Ambrose realized that as long as his side launched an operation, those behind the scenes would not be at ease and would definitely try to keep an eye on them to determine the outcome of the operation.

…………

Century City, Fox Television Center.

In the chairman's office, Roger Ayers shifted his large frame, dismissed the pretty new female anchor, returned to his desk, sat in the spacious executive chair, and, taking advantage of his current high spirits, picked up the documents on the table.

He handles official business extremely quickly, but when reading an application, he puts down his pen.

Fox News independent investigative reporter Halle Wayne applied to the chairman's office to interview Epstein, who had been transferred to Los Angeles for detention.

Roger Ayers spends a significant portion of each year in New York and is well aware of everything about Epstein.

As a politically astute figure in the media industry, Roger Ailes could easily predict that Epstein would inevitably become a key battleground in next year's election.

The Los Angeles group of the Elephant Party, represented by Hawke and Brian, transferred Epstein to Los Angeles for detention, clearly intending to use this as a breakthrough.

The Donald Party then used official channels to send prosecutors to supervise the operation, preventing them from taking action easily.

The two sides have been entangled in the formal channels for a long time.

Fox News, or News Corp., has a very clear stance that has remained unchanged for over a decade.

Roger Ayers has also received an explicit indication from Rupert Murdoch that he will inevitably stand on the side of the Elephant Party next year.

The ass decides the head.

Therefore, Roger Ayers only considered it briefly before signing the application and summoning his chairman's assistant to contact Halle Wayne and the relevant personnel to submit an interview request to the FBI and the federal prosecutor's office on behalf of Fox News.

Halle Wayne was notified immediately and rushed to the news station's deputy director's office for a brief meeting.

Subsequently, Fox News formally requested an interview with Epstein from the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office.

The FBI's Los Angeles office quickly approved Fox News' application.

There has been no response from the federal prosecutor's office yet. However, Halle Wayne acted swiftly, and Fox News began promoting their interview with Epstein.

The former interviewed newly discovered victims, as well as Epstein's ex-girlfriend, and others.

The latter then began to recount the events surrounding the Lolita Island incident.

The Donald Party was inevitably dragged out and whipped once again.

Twitter quickly followed up and released the "Loli Island Album".

In this regard, News Corp. and Twitter are essentially aligned in their political interests.

Century City, Beverly Business Club.

Erica brewed the green tea and poured a cup for everyone.

Brian picked up his glass, took a sip, and said, "Roger Ayers arranged for me to meet him in Los Angeles this time."

Hawke asked, "What did he want to talk to you about?"

"About Epstein," Brian said without hesitation. "Three days ago, Grandpa, Reagan, and Rupert Murdoch met secretly in Hawaii."

Hawke knew about this; Erica had said that Paul Ferguson had called him specifically before going to ask for his opinion.

As time goes on, especially with the party primary date approaching, they will inevitably reveal their true colors.

According to the rules, those who intend to compete for the party's nomination in January next year must officially announce their candidacy.

Brian said, "Although it hasn't been said explicitly, Rupert Murdoch should have guessed our plans and expressed his support."

Erica looked slightly surprised: "He abandoned Tom Emer so quickly?"

Hawke could easily guess what these people were thinking: "Tom Emerson attacked the Cheney and Walker families, offending a traditional major force in the Elephant Party. He used to have our support, but when we abandoned him, Tom Emerson's only remaining chance of victory was the plan to hunt down Benladen."

Brian smiled and said, "We are not just Twitter and the Los Angeles Group, but also the tech revolution camp and a national organization advocating for the rights of minorities."

Hawke nodded slightly and continued, "The plan to hunt down Benladen has failed, and Tom Emmanuel will have a hard time getting through this hurdle within his party. Since the situation has deteriorated to this extent, News Corporation and the Murdoch family will also choose a new supporter for their own interests. They have always supported the Elephant Party, so if there is a suitable candidate, they will naturally not change course rashly."

Jennifer chimed in, "After all, people like President Dong aren't the mainstream."

She asked curiously, "What conditions need to be offered to secure News Corporation?"

Brian didn't speak, but instead looked at Hawke.

Hawke did not answer immediately, but slowly said, "News Corp is facing huge trouble right now. A phone hacking scandal has broken out in Britain. Although they are trying their best to suppress it, things could get out of control at any time."

Brian added: "As far as I know, things are about to get out of control, and the British authorities are preparing to hold a hearing."

Erica immediately thought of something: "News Corporation has never had any bottom line when it comes to obtaining news."

Speaking of this, she thought of Hawke, who founded West Coast Entertainment Studios in its early days. Back then, Hawke's standards were much higher than News Corporation's.

Hawke's philosophy is to create authentic news.

News Corporation really dares to fabricate things.

Erica continued, "Their main business divisions are in the UK and the US, with their US operations far exceeding those in the UK. If News Corp. dares to conduct wiretapping in the UK, they will also obtain news through wiretapping in the US."

Hawke snapped his fingers and said, "The wiretapping scandal is bound to erupt in America. Don't forget that next year is an election year, and News Corp. has always supported the Democratic Party. How could the Democratic Party possibly pass up this opportunity?"

Brian continued, "Once the phone hacking scandal breaks out in America, we can help News Corp. quell it and control its impact."

Jennifer understood immediately: "Fines them financially, and throw a few scapegoats out criminally."

“This kind of thing is closely related to the authorities,” Erica said, having experienced something similar in Los Angeles. “If the government wants to pursue it strictly, they can break up News Corporation, or even ban certain of its businesses.”

Hawke pushed for Halle Wayne to interview Epstein and made the application on behalf of Fox News precisely because Paul Ferguson and Rupert Murdoch had reached an agreement.

The two leaders above were largely in agreement, so the managers below naturally had to carry it out.

Jennifer remembered something and turned to Hawke, "The militants from the Middle East haven't made a move, and those bastards hiding behind them haven't found any clues about them yet?"

Hawke said, "We've put pressure on Epstein through the media, the judiciary, and private channels. Eventually, they'll lose patience and come out on their own."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Just a few days ago, my people at Arlington Cemetery found a behind-the-scenes team working for Joseph, and it's very likely that they're controlling things in Los Angeles."

Jennifer asked, "Didn't you kill them?"

“The exposed parts pose a much smaller threat to us,” Hawke said, taking a sip of tea. “A hasty move would alert Joseph, who would abandon this team and then form a new one that is unknown to us.”

Erica had complete confidence in Hawke: "These people are fish in our net once we close it in."

Hawke picked up the teapot and poured everyone another cup of tea, saying, "The situation has changed, and the goals of the Epstein Project have also been adjusted. It would be best if we could use this opportunity to capture the person behind the scenes. If they refuse to show themselves, then let Epstein be attacked."

Jennifer understood easily: "When an attacker appears and life is in danger, Epstein's attitude will change. When he finds that keeping quiet cannot guarantee his safety, he will naturally speak up."

Brian added, "With extensive media coverage, public pressure will fall on the Democratic Party, since those most closely associated with Epstein are Democratic Party bigwigs like Laugh Tale and Hillary Clinton."

Hawke said, "The two parties have reached a point where it's a life-or-death struggle. The conflict between the two parties is greater than anything else. If we want to control the situation, we must crush the Democratic Party, and preferably keep it under our feet for a long time."

"Hopefully this won't break out into the American Civil War," Erica joked.

Hawke specifically responded to his girlfriend: "Once we get legal power, the Donald Party will be rebels."

All four of them burst into laughter.

Of course, they all knew very well that although the conflict between the donkeys and elephants had intensified, it had not yet reached the point of breaking out into a civil war.

Erica went outside and asked, and the chef here had prepared dinner.

The four of them went to a restaurant together for a meal, and they continued to discuss this topic while eating.

This was especially true for the two federal prosecutors who were biased towards the Elephant Party. (End of Chapter)
