"Paddy, are you saying you can’t even compete with a woman?"
"Carlos! What do you mean by that!"
"You know very well what I mean. If we can’t get more funding, it’s really pointless."
"But at least I’m a senator."
"Hmph! No need for you to emphasize!"
Paddy, back from Sacramento, got reprimanded by Carlos again.
It would be odd if Senator Paddy were in a good mood.
Nonetheless, annoyed as he was, Paddy also understood.
He actually didn’t have the moral high ground.
After all, the promise made initially seemed to have changed now.
Carlos’s hospital over there is waiting for the funding.
But, it can’t all be blamed on me!
"Carlos, we agreed beforehand, but many changes have occurred now, you know. Plus, you must understand, I’ve lost a son."
At this point, Paddy thought of Juan, the poor child.
Hearing this, Carlos also couldn’t continue pressing, and his expression softened instead.
"As old friends, I certainly know the pain of losing a son, but we still need to do something. Do you plan to be crushed by a woman?"
Carlos’s words incited Paddy’s anger.
Although he couldn’t say much during parliament, now... Hmph!
Actually, Senator Paddy’s behavior now is quite typical of a politician.
People have said politics is the art of compromise.
This compromise refers to the surface.
Paddy handles this quite well.
And now, he reveals his true side.
"Carlos, have you thought of any solutions?"
The vice president had been waiting for this.
"Your current position in the state parliament is clear; I know you’ve done your best.
But some issues can be rectified."
The moment this word came out, Paddy found it strange.
Carlos’s face was originally very serious, but now he smiled a bit.
"Don’t you understand? Correct past mistakes."
"Past..." Paddy instantly got it.
Apparently, Vice President Carlos was still at odds with Zhou Mo Sen, who owned the cosmetic surgery clinic.
But this matter, Paddy always bore a grudge.
Just after the last battle, many negative effects were generated, not just the matter of losing a son.
The key was that San Diego’s public safety issue was now exposed.
Actually, this is how Americans think.
We all know public safety isn’t great.
Of course, it’s not ideal.
But in the United States, because the safety of many large cities isn’t good.
So, as long as it’s not exposed, or reported little by the media.
We can say our city’s safety is good.
For example, police chiefs of some big cities, when announcing their achievements.
They love to use the ’reduction’ data.
Meaning, as long as this year’s month has fewer cases compared to last year’s month.
For instance, serious cases, there were about 100 last year at this time, but only 90 this year.
What does this represent?
Our city’s safety is excellent!
Anyway, the people in this country are completely anti-intellectual; most won’t even think why there are still over 90 cases.
And the reality is that American big city cases are all in the thousands.
Here we’re talking about significant cases; ordinary ones are completely ignored.
So, the biggest issue with San Diego before was...
It was reported by too many media!
This made many people feel our San Diego’s safety is poor.
Well, in reality, that’s also the case.
Given the proximity to Mexico, with so many Latin American immigrants.
How could safety be great?
But if not reported, then we have good safety.
Regarding this matter, Paddy is actually very passive.
He was formerly a senator, now a state senator, representing San Diego.
This city’s safety has issues, he’s responsible.
What tricks does Paddy have, plus he was one of the instigators last time.
So, Zhou Mo Sen now causes Paddy discomfort.
"Shall we recruit some people for another bout with Zhou Mo Sen?"
Paddy’s question made Carlos internally despise this senator.
But he couldn’t say it.
Carlos wanted to take down Zhou Mo Sen even more, but this time plans must be set beforehand!
"Another such fight is useless, we should adopt other means, like checking if his clinic uses illegal substances? And why he has so much Hyaluronic Acid."
This... Paddy furrowed his brows.
"Old friend, didn’t you mention before? Such methods are useless against Zhou Mo Sen, plus no good for us."
Yes, Carlos discussed it with Paddy before.
Frankly speaking, this strategy is ’reporting’, or utilizing authorities.
But even if successful, Carlos and Paddy gain no benefits.
Besides, even checking Zhou Mo Sen might not yield results.
This is the United States, Zhou Mo Sen also has means, he could hire lawyers, or whatever.
He has plenty of tricks, in other words.
So, it was dismissed prior.
Why bring it up again now?
Carlos pursed his lips, this time is different from before.
"You’re already a senator, plus we’ve fought them once, we’ve learned much about them this time..."
Upon hearing this, Paddy grew anxious, "Spill it."
Carlos deliberately prolonged, waiting for Paddy to grow anxious.
"This time, what if Zhou Mo Sen has ties with the Bloodline Gang, and Bloodline provides him something?"
"Where’s our evidence?"
"Of course we have it."
Paddy instantly understood, he smiled and asked.
"Are you saying you’ve sorted something with someone inside the Bloodline Gang?"
Carlos smiled slightly, feeling that Paddy had regained some intelligence.
So... they bribed people inside the Bloodline Gang?
The two of them released another song.
This song was their effort in RAP.
Effort in production means not knowing the outcome.
But they felt quite good themselves.
Thus, they plunged wholeheartedly into it.
Now, the Bloodline Gang has grown mighty, supporting their RAP much stronger than before.
Actually, in the US, if it’s a physical gang.
They almost certainly promote RAP artists like them.
These guys might get famous.
With the entire gang’s power backing them.
But on that day, when the two were crafting new songs. Latest content publıshed on N()velFire.net
Brother Pi showed up.
"Are you guys having image issues recently?"
"Brother Pi, perhaps it’s due to writing, recording songs too exhaustively."
"Hmm, makes sense." Brother Pi nodded, then assigned them a task.
"You two should go to Dr. Zhou’s clinic for ’treatment’, get some Hyaluronic Acid, bolster your face."
This seemed like a good thing.
Jimmy and Tang were pleased.
Hence, they planned to go.
Only Brother Pi sent an underling along with them.
That wasn’t a problem, Jimmy and Tang didn’t suspect anything.
Little did they know, Brother Pi once saw Tiger stashing money...
