I was acting crazy in North America, and all the crazy people there took it seriously.

Chapter 146 already said I wouldn't lie to you guys.

Only after Seattle City Hall finally reached a consensus that "the police force has collapsed and can only be rebuilt," and after dividing up the "pie" for "placing cronies," did the Seattle mayor personally call the Bureau of Investigation headquarters to seek their support.

However, the Bureau of Investigation headquarters was completely baffled—we hadn't even selected anyone to conduct the investigation yet!
The mayor of Seattle was dumbfounded!

Seattle city officials were stunned!

W...Watt!
The Investigation Bureau didn't...didn't send anyone?

Who were those guys who came to enforce the law before?

Could it be...?

A terrible thought crossed everyone's mind, and the entire city hall fell into a deathly silence!
Meanwhile, media outlets that acted quickly and were eager to publish headlines had already flooded the market with reports such as "Bureau of Investigation cracks down on Seattle police force" and "Bureau of Investigation strikes swiftly to restore law enforcement fairness."

Then, they were dumbfounded!
Because the latest issue of The Sun has also been released!
The Sun used only one sentence as its front-page headline—

"If I have deceived you, do not be sad, do not be angry, believe me, I will continue to deceive you!"

Next came the "President's" statement—

"I already told you I'd keep lying to you!!!"

The three exclamation marks seem to express the "president's" serious dissatisfaction.

In the main article, The Sun, with an astonished tone, provided a detailed account of the "President's" earth-shattering "surprise attack."

The article analyzes how the "president" precisely exploited everyone's psychological blind spots:
"...When we all thought that after completing that unprecedented impersonation of law enforcement, Mr. 'President' would flee thousands of miles away with a huge sum of money, he once again proved with his actions that what makes a legend a legend is its inexhaustible imagination and courage to challenge the limits!"

"He precisely seized upon everyone's psychological blind spot! At the sensitive moment when the scam had just been exposed, in the midst of public outcry and the vacuum of time when everyone believed that the investigation bureau would inevitably intervene, he and his team once again donned that 'skin' symbolizing authority and launched an incredibly beautiful and stunning counterattack!"

"Who would doubt that the 'Investigative Service agent' appearing at the Seattle Police Department at this time is fake? Nobody! Because it makes too much sense, so much sense that it's almost instinctive!"

"Poor Seattle police officers, it's not that they're stupid; it's that in the face of a monster like the 'President,' all ordinary people seem stupid!"

"..."

The public was stunned and couldn't process what was happening!
After reading the Sun's report again from beginning to end, and combining it with follow-up reports from other newspapers about the Seattle incident, everyone finally understood what had happened.

The most con manipulative liar, "President," pulled off a brilliant counterattack in full view of everyone, once again plundering the Seattle Police Department's remaining fig leaf and embezzled funds as an "executor of justice"!

To be honest, he didn't plunder a lot of money this time.

But it’s extremely insulting!
The people who had just realized what was happening burst into laughter, beating their chests and stamping their feet in frustration.

"My God! He did it again! He actually did it again!"

"I really want to see the expressions on the faces of those officials in Seattle!"

"I'd much rather see the expressions on the faces of the media reporters with my own eyes!"

"In front of all the reporters! My God, did God create this guy's guts?"

"Hahaha! God! I bet even a screenwriter wouldn't dare write something like this!"

After the initial stunned silence, the massive dark humor sparked a nationwide laughter frenzy.

Most media outlets were no longer laughing.

The editors, looking at their newspapers' effusive praise of the Bureau of Investigation's law enforcement, felt as if they'd been slapped countless times across the face, the pain burning. And their earlier reports mocking the Seattle Police Department as "unimaginably stupid" now seemed like the most vicious boomerangs, piercing them squarely.

The title of "President," along with this unparalleled counterattack, has been completely elevated to legendary status!
He is no longer a "lucky" swindler, but has been elevated to a symbol, a legendary idol representing audacity, ingenuity, and the ability to manipulate everyone!

A widely circulated joke goes: "Q: How can you ensure your scam is foolproof? A: Get the whole country's media to broadcast it live."

Another joke goes: "What's the sound Seattle City Hall fears most these days? Knocking on the door and 'BOI, Open the door!'"

It is said that even the real President Harding joked in the White House, "A liar may not necessarily become president, but a liar who becomes 'president' must be a top-notch liar!"

Hmm, I wonder who's so badmouthing our president.

Some media outlets, in order to appear less foolish, shamelessly lavished praise on the "president"!
However, some media outlets are unwilling to admit their own stupidity, or rather, they want to divert people's attention from mocking their stupidity.

Unable to vent their anger on the "president" himself, and realizing they had found a point of contention, they launched an attack on The Sun.

"In the face of the 'president's' second deception, all the media were unfortunately fooled and became his puppets on stage. Only The Sun seemed to have foreseen the future, remaining unmoved and watching coldly from the sidelines."

"We can't help but ask, what role did The Sun actually play?"

Did The Sun participate in the planning? Or at least, did they have prior knowledge of the details?

In short, it boils down to this: do you still dare to say that your Sun newspaper isn't colluding with criminals?!
Logan swears on his integrity that he absolutely did not know the inside story beforehand this time.

That's why people say there are fewer Americans—because Americans just love to do stupid things!
The Kennedy family was especially so!
Derek Kennedy's "surprise attack" was purely for fun!
It's fair to say that if he made even the slightest mistake, he would become the laughingstock.

But he succeeded, and the victor is not condemned, so he was also deified.

Well, that's not objective enough. He's probably just one more "out-of-the-box" moment away from becoming a true god!
But no matter how much Logan complains, it's not a reason for other media outlets to take their anger out on The Sun.

Logan then wrote an article to refute this.

"First of all, we are deeply honored by the accusations from some of our colleagues that we are colluding with 'heroes'—this at least shows that in their eyes, our newspaper has reached the level of wisdom to stand shoulder to shoulder with legendary figures."

"However, it is regrettable that we must clarify a basic fact: our contact with Mr. 'President' was limited to his initiative in writing to us and our reporting in the spirit of journalistic professionalism."

Then, the article entered its true "final blow" phase:
"The reason we didn't fall for it is simple: we had unwavering faith in federal law enforcement!"

Readers were taken aback at this point, thinking, "Wait, did Logan really write this? Something feels off."

Furthermore, "We firmly believe that with the massive bureaucracy and rigorous approval process of federal law enforcement agencies, it is absolutely impossible to quickly assemble an investigation team and deploy it across thousands of miles within just a few dozen hours after the first case."

"So, how could we, The Sun, have been fooled before we even had a chance to send a reporter to Seattle?"

"I don't know what unrealistic fantasies my colleagues have about the efficiency of federal law enforcement, but you're all stupid, so don't try to drag us down to the same level and then beat us with your wealth of brainless experience!"

Readers across America erupted in deafening laughter once again upon reading this!

now it's right!

That's it!

Haha, so much experience with being brain-dead...

Well-reasoned and irrefutable!
