Chapter 184 Killing Hollywood

Chapter 185 Killing Hollywood (4600 words, please vote!)

The story begins in a place called Los Santos.

However, to begin, we must first go back nine years.

Back then, Michael was a superhero, well, a private one.

He was known as "Beer Belly Man" at the time.

He's the kind of "superhero" with some superpowers who occasionally helps the FIB with shady things, sometimes does some chivalrous deeds, but most of the time his main job is robbery.

He once had a "superhero" friend, "Rampaging Mediterranean Man".

The two robbed together, made money and lived a carefree life, living day to day without knowing tomorrow.

But later Michael met a dancer, and the two got married and had a child.

Michael wanted a peaceful life and didn't want to do this kind of thing anymore.

So they cast their final vote.

Actually, this vote was something Michael and Dave Norton, the middle-aged, fat white guy from the FIB, agreed upon together.

He plans to fake his death to escape the case, and Dave will help him get away with it, in return for Dave's credit.

So he betrayed Trevor Phillips, the "Mediterranean Man," faked his death, escaped to Los Santos, and made a living by laundering money for the FIB.

By the way, FIB and CAA are changes that Fang Bie deliberately created to imitate GTA5.

I understand everything I understand.

Nine years have passed in the blink of an eye.

The protagonist, Franklin, makes his official appearance.

Franklin was a young black man in his early twenties.

Having lost his parents at a young age, he lived with a hapless aunt.

On the surface, he's a small-time gangster in a Black community, but in reality, he's a "superhero" with some special abilities.

Yeah, the amateur kind, without official certification.

That's right, superheroes in this world need official recognition.

They no longer live in anonymity, but instead lead glamorous lives with management companies promoting them.

They were even packaged as superstars by the eight major Hollywood film studios.

Franklin wanted to leave the Black community, so he applied for jobs at the Big Eight film studios.

He gave himself the nickname "Flying Man".

Because his ability is "super senses".

When he activates his ability, he feels like everything around him is slowing down. In reality, his speed and reaction time are beyond that of ordinary people when his ability is activated, which creates the illusion that everything around him is slowing down.

Unfortunately, Hollywood also has its own cliques, and most of them are rife with discrimination.

Franklin was exactly the kind of person who was discriminated against.

The other party ignored the nickname he gave himself, "Flying Man," and instead called him "Nigger Man."

Yes, that is, "Black Ghost Knight".

And they took pleasure in mocking him.

In a fit of anger, Franklin left and found a job at a car dealership, making a living by recycling cars that couldn't be repaid with high-interest loans.

They call it recycling, but it's really just stealing cars and driving them back to the dealership.

He had always relied on his superpowers to make this go smoothly, and even his good friend Rama joined the cause.

However, this time, he failed.

He sneaked into a villa and stole an SUV that his own dealership had sold, only to have it fall into the hands of the male homeowner.

The male homeowner's name is Michael DeSanta.

That's right, it's that former "superhero" who faked his death to escape, "Beer Belly Man".

After retiring, he lived the life he had always wanted.

Hmm. It's not quite what he initially thought.

A wife who cheats on you, a daughter who's mentally challenged, and a son who's a shut-in idiot—maybe the only difference is that you no longer have to live in fear and anxiety.

But he also has a little secret hidden.

That was his daughter. She had also awakened superpowers.

But his daughter has always reluctantly listened to him and hasn't used it outside the home.

Although he simply didn't know it.

After capturing Franklin, the two even had a superpower showdown.

Franklin lost.

Because Michael's abilities are similar to Franklin's.

Franklin's ability is hypersensitivity, which allows him to accelerate his body and mind to create the illusion that other things around him are slowing down.

Michael's ability is bullet time, which actually slows down the surrounding environment.

Later, Franklin was threatened by Michael to beat up the car dealership owner, and as a result, Franklin lost his job.

The next day he went to find Michael because he discovered that Michael was awesome.

Michael said he was retired and didn't want to talk to him.

At this time, Michael's silly son was robbed of his father's yacht after he stole it to sell, and he was also kidnapped.

Michael then took Franklin to the rescue and promised that if they could resolve the matter, he would make Franklin rich.

Then, even after rescuing his son, the yacht was still gone.

When Michael returned home, he discovered that his wife was having an affair with a private tennis coach. He and Franklin chased after the coach and eventually caught up with him at a villa.

In a fit of rage, Michael blew up the villa.

But what he didn't know was that the villa didn't actually belong to the coach.

That coach was having affairs with other women besides Michael's wife, and the villa was a gift from a gang leader to his mistress.

Not long after they got home, a superhero named "Sonic the Hedgehog" showed up at their door, beat up Michael and Franklin, and told them that they owed the mob boss millions of dollars for villa repairs. He said if they didn't pay it back within two weeks, they would be treated as "super criminals" and eliminated by the superheroes.

Having no other option, Michael contacted his old buddy "Crippled Hacker" Lester, hoping to make a comeback and pull off another heist to pay off his debts.

When they found Lester, Franklin asked, "Why is 'Sonic the Hedgehog' after us? Just because we smashed up a mob boss's mansion?"

Michael laughed.

Lester tells Franklin the truth about "superheroes".

Do you know why there aren't many wild superheroes?

Because anyone who disobeyed died.

The rest either take orders from the FIB or CAA and do dirty and menial jobs for them.

They either belong to a gang.

Either you submit to the control of big capitalists.

And these last types will be promoted to superstars by Hollywood, which is controlled by big capitalists.

Corrupted by fame and fortune, those superheroes are nothing but a bunch of scum.

To convince Franklin, Lester showed him some secret information he had collected over the years using hacking techniques.

For example, there are videos of "Sonic the Hedgehog" killing innocent bystanders due to his excessive speed.

For example, the highly skilled "Redeemer" partners with a pharmaceutical capital company to conduct human experiments in order to produce drugs that can be sold at high prices.

For example, the most popular national icon in Hollywood, "Superman," once killed hundreds of innocent passengers on a plane that crashed in order to maintain his reputation.

Franklin's worldview collapsed.

But Michael was used to it.

Because he used to be that kind of scoundrel, and now he's laundering money for the FIB.

Franklin was unhappy, but he had to pay back the money he owed, and he couldn't resist.

So the three of them conspired to rob a bank in the suburbs and then use the stolen money to pay off their debts.

But this incident made the news, which brought Trevor, the "Mad Men of the Mediterranean," who had long since disappeared, back into the public eye.

He recognized the middle-aged white man with a beer belly as Michael, the "Beer Belly Man" who had died long ago.

At this point, the local gang offended Trevor, who was already enraged by the incident, and then one rainy night, Trevor single-handedly wiped them out.

On the other hand, the FIB was very dissatisfied with Michael's return to the game.

They proposed that since Michael had returned to the workforce, he must resume doing the dirty, shady work for the FIB; otherwise, they would send in superheroes to purge Michael and his family.

Left with no other choice, Michael returned to his old ways.

He went to the CAA on behalf of the FIB and arrested a witness.

He secured funding for the FIB from one of the banks.

He obtained a drug sample stored by the CAA for the FIB.

During this process, he reunited with Trevor.

He might have just continued to rot away like that.

But one event changed everything.

Michael's daughter is secretly using her superpowers without his knowledge.

She also secretly signed up for a Hollywood superhero star audition.

She successfully joined the "Superhero Actors Guild," but was required to have relationships with the male superheroes in the guild, which she said was an unspoken rule that female superhero stars in Hollywood had to go through.

She refused, but was imprisoned and brutally tortured.

Before being imprisoned, she secretly sent a message to her father, Michael.

Fang Bie also used some of the core ideas from "Taken" here.

Michael was furious when he found out about this. Everything he had done was to make his family's life better, but he never expected to encounter such a thing.

Trevor and Franklin, upon learning of this, expressed their desire to join in.

So they began to make preparations.

They quickly located the place where Michael's daughter was being held using Lester's hacking skills.

That was the secret base of a major Hollywood film company.

So the trio, amidst a flurry of sparks and lightning, navigating car chases, airplanes, and submarines, along with gunfights, explosions, and more explosions, successfully rescued Michael's daughter.

But the problem is coming.

Hollywood relationships are complex and intertwined.

Behind these major companies stands a wealthy capitalist, Mr. Devante.

Meanwhile, both the FIB and the gangs have shares in the company, and the CAA also wants to take their lives because the trio stole (robbed) their secret poison gas.

That's right, it wasn't actually poison gas, but cholesterol, a super-soldier developed secretly by the government and capitalists!

Those superheroes were all guinea pigs for this cholesterol drug!

CAA cannot allow this secret to be exposed!

But they didn't know that the trio was sent by the FIB; they assumed the trio had done it themselves.

At this point, problems also arose within the trio.

Trevor suggested paying tribute to his comrade from nine years ago, but Michael refused.

Trevor guessed something from Michael's unnatural reaction, and he rushed back to the place where they had met before, with Michael following after him.

After digging up "Michael's grave," Trevor saw the body of one of his former comrades.

Thus, the truth came to light.

He understood everything.

Michael betrayed everyone back then!

At this moment, the gangster "Sonic the Hedgehog" arrived with his men. During the standoff, Michael was captured, while Trevor escaped.

On the other hand, Franklin couldn't get in touch with Michael, but he did manage to contact Trevor.

Trevor said Michael had been arrested, but he had no interest in rescuing him, and everyone dispersed.

Franklin had no choice but to contact Leicester directly.

Later, through Lester, they found Michael's phone, then stormed into the gang's slaughterhouse, and before "Sonic the Hedgehog" arrived, they went on a killing spree to rescue Michael.

After that, Michael contacted the FIB and proposed that he wanted to leave the FIB and live a normal life. The FIB then asked to meet.

So Michael went.

But the FIB wants to kill Michael, and at the same time, gangsters, the CAA, and mercenaries hired by a Hollywood tycoon's security company all appear, all wanting to kill Michael.

Trevor then descended from the sky to save Michael, leading to a gunfight, car chase, and chaotic melee in which Trevor and Michael escaped.

Trevor stated that he wasn't trying to save Michael, but rather to make a fortune off Michael.

Michael wanted to get away permanently, while Franklin planned to make a fortune and get away as well; the three hit it off immediately.

So they contacted Leicester, ready to pull off a big heist!

They directly robbed the Federal Reserve of gold bars worth $300 million!

After various preparations, including flying, diving, car chases, gunfights, helicopter battles, speedboat shootouts, and more, the trio successfully escaped.

Just when everyone was happy, De Vander, the behind-the-scenes boss of the Hollywood superhero star, along with the FIB, CAA, and the mob, all made contact with Franklin.

They offered different terms.

The FIB and CAA demand that Franklin retrieve the original superhero cholesterol sample from Trevor and eliminate Trevor, or else he will suffer the consequences.

Hollywood mogul Devante demands that Franklin kill Michael, who has offended him and knows the inside story of Hollywood, or else he will have his team of superheroes kill him.

The gang demanded that Franklin work for them, or they would slaughter all the people in his neighborhood, including his friend Lamar and Lamar's dog, Cha.

What would Franklin choose?

Of course, he chose to fight to the death!

So he first contacted Leicester for help.

Lester proposed using gold bars worth $300 million and cholesterol samples as bait!

They first announced that gold bars would be melted down at a steel mill in the suburbs, while cholesterol samples were destroyed.

This would attract the FIB, CAA, and mercenaries employed by Devante.

Then the trio and Lamar ambushed the steel mill!

During the ambush, Michael saved Trevor, and the two reconciled.

After a fierce battle, the three eliminated the invading enemies and then announced to the outside world that they were dead.

The three then split up.

Franklin used a bomb to send the mob boss and his key men to their deaths. After a fierce battle with "Sonic the Hedgehog," he used Lester's anti-sonic weapon to stun "Sonic the Hedgehog," strap him to the outside of the submarine, and sink him into the sea.

While CAA and its superheroes were having a meeting, Michael used a small, non-polluting nuclear bomb to completely obliterate the CAA building.

Trevor sniped the head of the FIB from a distance, and at the same time single-handedly killed the FIB's superheroes.

The trio then went to find Devant.

Battle the Hollywood superhero seven in the Devant's super mansion.

After a fierce battle, the three emerged victorious.

At this point, Devant releases a drug that can neutralize the effects of super cholesterol, allowing those who became superheroes using this cholesterol to return to being ordinary people.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated!

The Los Santos trio are all natural-born superhumans! This stuff has no effect on them!

So the trio threw Devante into the trunk of a luxury car and drove to the edge of a cliff.

Then, in front of Devante, the trio destroyed Super Cholesterol and exposed the crimes of Hollywood, the Screen Actors Guild, the FIB, and the CAA to the world.

Michael spoke his last words to Devante, who was still bound:

"Hey, listen. I'm not as smart a businessman as you. But as I see it, the American capitalism you're using is ruined by two things."

First, there's outsourcing. You hire private mercenaries and so-called superheroes to do those dirty jobs for you, but you don't pay them enough! Because you think you're a big capitalist, a big shot! You think you're cool enough! Bad enough! So you think you don't need to follow the rules.

Secondly, if you don't value other people's lives, then don't blame others for not valuing yours either.

"Oh! There's a third one!"

Michael held up three fingers, exchanged a glance with Trevor and Franklin: "You're the one who fucking messed with us!"

"so."

"FK YOU! FIB!"

"FK YOU! CAA!"

"FK YOU! Screen Actors Guild!"

"And also, FK YOU! Hollywood!"

Goodbye, old friend. And goodbye, your superhero games.

The three of them then worked together to push the luxury car off the cliff.

With the explosion, Devante, his luxury car, and his superhero games perished at sea.

The script ends here.
