Now only four people remain: Tom, Mike, Anna, and another female reporter.

With fewer people around, Tom was better able to distort the truth.

No, Tom isn't distorting the truth; he's selectively revealing only parts of it.

Taking things out of context—excerpt from "Don't Take Things Out of Context".

Although part of the truth will completely overturn the truth,

But tell me, is what Tom showed the reporters the truth?

Tom, along with Anna and the others, arrived at the Blood Lion Gang headquarters.

The Blood Lion Gang's headquarters is similar to the Corleone family's stronghold, with a large number of overt and covert sentries.

When Tom entered his territory, all the black gunmen put their hands on their guns.

Because Tom had given the order the day before, the gunmen did not make any rash moves.

Upon arriving at the base's gate, the two henchmen who had previously met with Moore Jackson stood guard on either side of the gate.

Upon seeing that it was Tom, the two quickly opened the door to greet him.

Anna and the others didn't notice anything unusual. Tom had previously mentioned that he had met members of the Blood Lion Gang during the tax collection period.

Upon entering the courtyard, Moore Jackson, the leader of the Blood Lion Gang, was sitting in a recliner. He greeted Tom and the others as they entered.

After receiving orders from Godfather Vito yesterday, Moore immediately declared that he would not fail in his mission!

In the conflict with the Razorfen Downs, Moore would simply throw money at the gunmen to knock them unconscious and make them his suicide squad.

Moore didn't believe in rigid rules that could control his men.

Money reigns supreme over everything.

As long as Tom can help Moore make money, Moore will naturally obey Tom unconditionally.

Dedicate your loyalty to Tom, and to money!

Moore walked over with a smile, his face twisted in a menacing grin.

Tom introduced them to each other:

"Anna, this is Moore Jackson, the leader of the Blood Lion Gang."

"Moore, this young lady is Anna Carnegie, a reporter for The Washington Post."

When Moore heard the words "Carnegie," his smile became even more fake and exaggerated.

Andre Carnegie, the founder of the Carnegie family, was a steel magnate of the Gilded Age.

How could someone as money-loving as Moore not know this?

Moore smiled and said:

"Welcome, dear journalists, to the Blood Lion Gang for an interview."

"What would you like to ask?"

Anna, not being one for tricks, didn't notice Moore's unusual behavior and went straight to the point:

"Are you the leader of the Blood Lion Gang?"

"Can you tell us why you're killing the Peaky Blinders?"

Before Tom could even give her a signal, Moore burst into tears, sobbing:

"The child has no mother; it's a long story."

"Let me explain slowly..."

Moore, in a dramatic mood, launched into a shameless attack on the Razor Party.

Kidnapping Black children to work as chimney sweeps;

They captured Black women to serve as messengers of lust;

United Pharmaceuticals, lured and kidnapped Black people to participate in drug trials...

It was precisely because the Razor Gang had gone too far that the Blood Lion Gang decided to take drastic measures and fight them to the death!

There will be no peace for Black people in the western constituencies until the Razor Party is eradicated.

Tom remained silent, watching Moore perform quietly.

Tom had already figured it out: Moore was going to turn a conflict of interest into a righteous act of revenge.

Anna gasped in surprise, then frowned slightly and asked:

"You've said so much, but do you have any evidence?"

Without thinking, Moore blurted out:

"The Razor Gang is a transnational criminal organization headquartered in England."

"The New York Peaky Blinders were all British immigrants who grew up under the rule of the British government."

Anna fell silent. As a media professional, she knew all too well the value of the "British government."

Compared to the inhumanity of the British government, the Razor Shields only targeted pure, virtuous black saints.

Mike, on the other hand, was completely stunned.

Why did Anna believe Moore's words about the "British government"?

Anna refused to believe him when he claimed to be a member of the Corleone family.

Anna continued to ask:

"Don't the police do anything about it?"

Moore paused, then said fiercely:

"police?"

"The police judge us by our skin color; they never care whether we live or die!"

"Forget about handling our cases, they're constantly arresting random Black people on the street just to meet their crime-solving rate targets!"

"If you don't believe me, let's go to the police station right now and confront each other!"

Moore was also a man of action; without waiting for Anna's reaction, he pulled the four of them into the car and drove towards the police station.

Anna was also curious: Do police officers really discriminate against Black people?

Why are all the police officers I've met since I was a child so kind and approachable?

Upon arriving at the police station, the officer who received him immediately displayed discrimination and hostility upon seeing the Black man, Moore.

Even Anna, who was usually oblivious, sensed it and immediately began to believe Moore's words to some extent.

Anna stepped forward and explained her purpose—

They wanted to retrieve the most recent police report records to see if anyone had handled the Black man's report.

Upon hearing that it involved Black people, the police officer immediately kicked Tom and his group out.

Tom didn't say a word the whole time; he just watched from the sidelines.

Tom's blind intervention only made things worse, forcing Anna to uncover the "truth" herself.

After Anna went out, she made a phone call to her father.

Her father called the New York City Police Commissioner.

The city police chief called the Brooklyn County Sheriff;

The county police chief called the head of the branch police station.

Upon hearing this, the branch chief flew into a rage, fired the police officer who had been receiving Anna, and personally took charge of receiving Anna himself.

The branch chief had seen plenty of spoiled young ladies who would come to the police station to throw tantrums and stand up for Black people.

Soon, Anna entered the archives and began to look through the files.

Anna looked and looked, and the more she looked, the more horrified she became!

The fact that a Black man reported the incident but it wasn't dealt with is already a minor matter;

Many cases involving Black people going to jail lack any evidence, let alone witnesses or physical evidence, not even the Black person's fingerprints.

A miscarriage of justice, an absolute miscarriage of justice!

Combining everything she had seen and heard throughout the day, Anna pieced together all the details and deduced the "truth":

Government indifference, police discrimination, gang abuse...

The Black people were forced to take up their guns.

This bloody conflict was not a gang feud, but a self-defense act by the Black people!

Anna was so angry that her fingers turned white. She threw the case file on the ground and pointed at the branch chief, yelling:

"No wonder America is so dark, no wonder Black people are rising up in resistance!"

"How could a bunch of insects like you possibly govern a country well!"

The branch chief, unfazed, quickly explained:

"Miss Anna, this is the case in all local police stations."

"The higher-ups want a high crime-solving rate, what can I do?"

"If you don't believe me, you can go to other police stations."

Anna was speechless after being rebuked. After pondering for a few minutes, she looked up at Tom and said firmly:

"Mr. Tom, you're right!"

"The people of America are living in dire straits and are in dire need of salvation."

"And I will use my pen to report the truth about gang warfare to the public, while also exposing the darkness of the government!"

Tom smiled inwardly as he watched Anna's performance; his plan had been perfectly executed.

Anna will henceforth be a "gentlemanly" reporter, and Tom will use her to attack his political enemies;

Carl, on the other hand, is Tom's "little man" reporter, specializing in reporting sensational, mostly true, and exaggerated news about Tom.
