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

Chapter 165 Those who dare to betray Black people, die! (Bonus Chapter 526)

The criminal syndicate behind the illegal immigrants has been exposed with new evidence – bootlegging!

After this news broke, the happiest person was not the Bureau of Investigation, which had made a breakthrough, but the Prohibition Bureau!

This is our racetrack!

God bless them! They've finally found a less brutal track where they can really show off their skills!
God knows what a frustrating year the Prohibition Bureau has been living!

The bootlegging mafia in the east is so damn ruthless; they treat turf wars like small-scale conflicts now.

The Prohibition Bureau was not without weapons, nor were they without agents who dared to fight.

But they don't have the huge profits from bootlegging to keep making up for their losses!
Gangs, however, can use their abundant wealth to continuously recruit desperados and replenish their weapons.

Therefore, even though the Mafia had emptied a large number of their Prohibition agents in order to get on the Prohibition Bureau's bounty list, and even though the old and new Mafia factions were fighting amongst themselves, the Prohibition Bureau still dared not easily provoke them.

We dare not provoke them, we really dare not provoke them!

Their operations on the East Coast are mostly limited to targeting bootleggers without powerful backers, which is how they barely maintain the department's "presence".

And what about the west?

The bootlegging trade in the west is too chaotic!
Today, the same "hero" reigns supreme, but tomorrow a new group of people may take over. The speed at which the king changes hands is dazzling.

The Prohibition Board was completely baffled as to where to begin its intervention.

Besides, are the heroes who roam the west so easily to be trifled with?
Didn't you see that the Investigation Bureau was being impersonated repeatedly and you just pretended to be stupid?

So the South is still better, as it seems there are no ruthless illegal liquor gangs there.

The crackdown on illegal immigrants originally had nothing to do with them, but when it comes to bootlegging, that's where they get involved!

A federal law enforcement agency must consistently produce outstanding results to prove its worth and thus secure more funding and support from the congressmen!
And the Bureau of Investigation couldn't really stop the Prohibition Bureau from getting involved. After all, bootlegging is indeed within their legal jurisdiction.

Moreover, they brought with them a wealth of law enforcement experience.

"We must seize the initiative in public opinion!"

The head of the Prohibition Bureau's enforcement team, who led the investigation into "illegal immigrant organizations" selling bootlegging alcohol in the south, said this.

"Your Bureau of Investigation is very clever to place this operation on the moral high ground of 'combating illegal immigration'! But it's not enough!"

"We need to proactively cooperate more with the media, and make sure that the stories we want to tell become stories that the public hears. Otherwise, we might inadvertently be cornered by some media outlets with ulterior motives, or even put on the stage for a showdown!"

"In terms of strategy, we should lure the enemy out of their hole and never willingly fall into their trap!"

These are lessons learned through blood and tears after being severely beaten!

The head of the investigation team in the south nodded frequently, finding it very reasonable.

Since we can't stop the Prohibition Bureau from getting involved, and they seem quite experienced, then so be it, let's show off our skills!

Since they were coming, the Prohibition Board didn't intend to sit back and reap the benefits. So they immediately contacted pro-white media outlets in the Southern states and began to carefully craft a role model—Samuel, the "black hero" who "abandoned darkness for light"!

Hmm, who did you learn this technique from? It looks so familiar.

That's not important; what's important is that it works well.

While mainstream media in the South generally dislike Black people, they still welcome such Black "role models" who "abandon darkness for light" and "set their hearts toward the civilized white world."

For a time, newspapers and radio stations went into overdrive, publishing numerous reports on Samuel's "heroic deeds":
"From delusion to enlightenment: Samuel, a true Black hero of America!" "He is a role model for all Black people! He proves that loyalty and conscience are above skin color!"

"A hero who placed the pursuit of light above life and death!"

With so many media outlets speaking out, the momentum is quite strong.

Samuel became famous overnight!
Regardless of their inner thoughts, readers in the South unanimously praised him as a good Black man!
Look, don't say we all discriminate against Black people. We can also honor Black people like this who yearn for the light as "heroes"!

Samuel not only gained fame, but also profited.

He received a hefty reward and was even hired as a full-time employee by the Prohibition Bureau. All that was waiting for him to wipe out Louisiana's bootlegging network was for him to get promoted, receive a raise, reach the pinnacle of his life, and marry a beautiful and wealthy woman... What are you thinking, Ni Ge!

Perhaps out of resentment that a certain person or newspaper would occasionally accuse the South of "racial discrimination," the Southern media seized on Samuel, this "black hero," and promoted him to the extreme!

Southern radio stations that are absolutely white, I don't know who they learned from, started doing "law enforcement live broadcasts".

They dispatched a team of reporters to closely follow Prohibition Bureau agents and their "Black heroes," preparing to provide live coverage of the raids on bootlegging dens run by illegal immigrant crime groups, aiming to showcase this "victory" to the public to the fullest extent possible.

The team arrived near a secluded dock on a tributary of the Mississippi River, which Samuel described as the “criminal group’s” largest bootlegging warehouse in Louisiana.

The operation went exceptionally smoothly, almost too smoothly—the warehouse was deserted, and the personnel responsible for guarding and operating it seemed to have fled long ago.

Pushing open the heavy warehouse door, the scene that greeted them made all the reporters gasp in shock!
Inside, oak barrels and crates of various sizes were piled up, and the air was filled with a strong smell of alcohol!
What a great victory!

Reporters deliberately had Samuel stand in front of the mountain of barrels of wine, with a "heroic" smile on his face, to take pictures and show off his real "achievements".

A sharp-eyed reporter suddenly noticed that a large, blood-red piece of paper seemed to be pressed under the gaps between several wine barrels behind Samuel.

"What's down there?" he asked curiously, pointing in that direction.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it.

To find out what it was, several Prohibition agents and reporters worked together to move the heavy barrels of liquor that were pressing down on top of it.

The full picture of the red paper was revealed to everyone.

Above, written in bold, dark characters, seemingly brimming with venomous hatred, was a shocking line of words:

"The black traitor will die here!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically!

A reporter with exceptionally keen hearing, his face filled with terror, asked tremblingly:

"Wh...what was that sound? Did you hear it?"

A faint, hissing sound, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue, came from deep within the pile of wine barrels.

That was... the sound of an explosive fuse being lit!
"boom!!!"

A deafening explosion suddenly erupted, silencing all the screams.

The mountain of bootleggings was turned into a massive bomb when detonated with high explosives!

The radio station broadcasting the law enforcement live was so loud that listeners were almost deafened!
