The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Castro Street, San Francisco.

Thousands of demons and monsters gathered near the Rainbow Theatre to show their support for the premiere of "Philip".

Posters about Philippe and the movie were plastered all over the streets of San Francisco.

Since the beginning of November, the LGBTQ movement has once again swept across the United States, and Philip has been hailed as a contemporary saint. With the support of the Matthias Association and the Rights Protection Association, statues of Philip have been erected in LGBTQ neighborhoods in major cities across the United States.

The film was an instant sensation.

Twitter has also designated this day as Philip the Internet, leveraging its enormous influence on the internet.

Today's premiere brought together a host of Hollywood stars, including more than a dozen Oscar winners.

Tom Cruise stood on the second floor of the theater, watching Nicole Kidman enter through the entrance, his expression not very pleasant.

Nicole Kidman spotted him and blew a kiss to Tom Cruise.

Hawke asked knowingly, "Are you two planning to get back together?"

"No, absolutely not!" Tom Cruise quickly denied, "I'd rather not date any other woman than get back together with her."

Hawke asked in surprise, "Is it that scary?"

Tom Cruise nodded repeatedly: "It's one thing for someone to pretend to be innocent, after all, she has already risen with my help and no longer needs me as her backer. But to use my things, take my things, and then turn around and curse and attack me in the most vicious way, isn't that terrifying?"

Hawke and the others weren't entirely clear on what had happened between the two, so he remained silent.

Tom Cruise chuckled and said, "I'll just pretend I don't see her."

Hawke heard a commotion outside and went from the second-floor corridor to the floor-to-ceiling windows on the exterior wall. He found that the Cthulhus of the parade had arrived on the north side of the theater.

The leader of these people is now Fiona, a former member of Hawke's faction.

Therefore, he received the news many days ago.

The demons and monsters were prepared; a large group of the most skilled fighters among the black men surged forward and blocked the way.

Because the group was indescribable, Hawke could only stand by and remain silent.

When he saw Tom and his wife appear on the red carpet, go down from the second floor, and come to the lobby on the first floor.

Hawke's basic manners are impeccable.

As soon as Tom Emmer entered, he saw Hawke and quickly went over to shake hands, saying with a smile, "The premiere is a large-scale event with a large number of supporters. This will be a very successful event."

Hawke smiled and said, "After the premiere, Twitter is planning an interview with you and the movie. Are you ready?"

The two sides had communicated a few days ago, and Tom Emer deliberately asked, "You won't make things difficult for me, will you?"

Hawke casually replied, "We are allies."

He then introduced Tom Cruise, who had come along.

Claire Emery chatted very enthusiastically with Tom Cruise.

Hawke glanced at them, and considering their identities, he couldn't help but think of Hillary and Leonardo.

But Tom Cruise is different from Leonardo DiCaprio; his background is much more complex and powerful.

Brian then walked down the red carpet into the theater.

The group entered the VIP room and began to chat.

More than the movie itself, how to generate buzz is what they really care about.

Both film and social movements are extensions of politics.

Tom Emmer and his wife, along with Brian, all appeared on the red carpet. Whether they saw the movie or not was not a big deal; their speeches and other prepared materials were all written by dedicated assistants.

However, just as the movie was about to start, Tom Cruise and Eric Ethan personally came to invite everyone into the theater.

…………

A minivan drove up from the north side of Castro Street.

The car stopped a few dozen meters away from the crowd. Sibel Newson rolled down the window and looked towards the Rainbow Theater.

A huge poster of Philip hangs on a building, overlooking the city.

Sibel, who came from Hollywood, was somewhat envious of such a large-scale premiere, even though the people who hosted the premiere were all her husband's mortal enemies.

Beside him, Gavin looked at the two groups facing off.

The indescribable Cthulhus were unsurprisingly suppressed by the demons and monsters.

In the passenger seat, assistant Gittens said softly, "Street political movements, they are no match for them."

Gavin nodded: "Let's go."

Sibel rolled up the car window.

The van slowly turned around and gradually moved away from the area.

Sibel remained silent, but her dream of becoming a star never faded.

The greater the price paid for something and the less it obtained, the more tempting it becomes.

But Gavin can't afford to worry about his wife's movie dreams right now; there are just too many unpleasant things happening in San Francisco, most of which are caused by the Democratic Party.

He asked Gittens, "Have you contacted Washington?"

Gittens understood what he meant and said, "They're preparing to take action against Hawke Osment and want our cooperation. Once they launch their attack, we'll follow up and create momentum."

Gavin didn't understand: "How are they planning to launch this?"

“Sullivan, who was communicating with me, didn’t say it explicitly,” Gittens thought for a moment and said, “He told me that we would understand when the time came.”

Gavin frowned: "What is that crazy woman, Sillaly, trying to do?"

Gittens couldn't guess and said, "Those unspeakable groups are directly influenced by Sillari. Fiona's rise to power at the marches wasn't just due to our efforts; Sillari's influence behind the scenes was even greater."

Gavin sighed: "At this stage, Hillary Clinton, as the presidential candidate, can offer and promise more benefits. These social groups act based on their own interests, so the march will inevitably lean towards Hillary Clinton."

Sibel asked cautiously, "Should I stay away from Fiona?"

“No need.” Gavin gently patted his wife’s hand. “You maintain normal contact with her. We can’t cut off our ties with the march.”

Gittens cautioned, “According to information we received from our people at the parade, Fiona received a large donation from a foundation under the Laugh Tale, and all indications suggest that she has automatically aligned herself with Sillaly.”

Sibel understood what he meant: "I'll be careful."

Gavin looked out the window at the changing scenery, feeling uneasy.

Philip's posters are everywhere along both sides of the road.

Gavin felt inexplicably exhausted. The civil lawsuit in the Philip case was about to go to court again, and this time it might bring a final result.

He had considered compromising, but if he backed down, the consequences would be severe, and he might lose even his base in Northern California.

"You can lose a lawsuit, but you can't back down," Gavin said in a low voice. "The social movement spearheaded by Hawke Osment has brought about tremendous changes, reshuffling the spheres of influence of both parties to some extent."

Gittens said, "It's a pity he chose the Elephant Party."

“Is it possible?” Gavin pondered, “could we find a way to incite conflict between the Hawke and Ferguson families, thereby breaking their relationship and even turning them into enemies?”

Gittens chimed in, "In that case, Hawke Osment has no choice but to cooperate with us."

Gavin turned to look at the posters outside the car and began to think.

Given the relationship between Hawke Osmond and the Ferguson family, the only way to turn them against each other would be through a significant conflict of interest.

It seems that things aren't going well with Hawke Osment, as all of his associates have significant interests at stake.

Gavin asked himself, what he could offer was far less than what Hawke Osment could offer.

The Ferguson family is large, and its members have varying levels of education and character; perhaps we can come up with a solution.

Thinking of this, Gavin said to Gittens, "Have someone find detailed information on the members of the Ferguson family, preferably their direct descendants."

Gittens replied, "Yes."

Sibel remained silent. Having been married to Gavin for almost a year, she had become accustomed to automatically ignoring and forgetting certain things.

…………

On the south side of Castro Street, on the third floor of a coffee shop near the standoff between the two groups.

Fiona sat by the window, looking at the scene below, and took out her phone to make a call: "Don't make a move. We just need to show our stance. If we fight, we'll be the ones who suffer."

In direct clashes between the two sides, the protesters never gained the upper hand, and the other side immediately retorted, "We won't resort to violence."

Fiona hung up the phone, picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and looked across at the other person: "You've seen the situation. We can create public opinion and momentum, but we must not have a direct confrontation. There are too many men among those bastards who have become women or who identify as women. Once it comes to fighting, they will have an overwhelming advantage over us."

The person sitting opposite Fiona was none other than Sullivan, one of Sillari's campaign managers.

He traveled from Washington to San Francisco to see firsthand how far the movements of these demons and monsters had developed in society.

Only by going deep into the front lines can we understand the situation and formulate appropriate plans.

Because of Cthulhu's inherent advantages, Sullivan attached great importance to this Cthulhu base, and said, "Have you received the latest allocation of data?"

“I’ve received it,” Fiona said sincerely. “Thank you for your support of this cause.”

Since she took over as the chairperson of the parade at the beginning of the year, Hillary's side has contacted her many times. In order to win over the largest Cthulhu organization in California, they have adopted the simplest and most direct method - sending money!
Moreover, the money was transferred multiple times in a row.

If Fiona hadn't already joined another organization with such generous compensation, she would have already joined long ago, given the continuous stream of money she received.

How many people could withstand Franklin's repeated insults?
Sullivan looked around and said with a smile, "The lady has given you ample resources to support you..."

“We will fully cooperate with your plans and actions, Madam.” Fiona said without hesitation, “In San Francisco, the support for the parade is mostly verbal; actual financial sponsorship is negligible. Many of our activities require self-funding, which is too difficult.”

She applied this real problem to the failure of the march: "Originally, those demons and monsters weren't so strong. When they first appeared on a large scale, the march was confident that it could defeat them. But the march didn't have money. We are also human beings. We need to eat, stay at home, and support ourselves. Without sufficient compensation, how can the people below fight?"

Sullivan had investigated the relationship between San Francisco and the march; the two were indeed cooperating, but the latter's support was not truly substantial.

That's why he persuaded Sylvia to use the simplest and most effective method.

Drawing a picture of a cake is not as effective as directly feeding someone a cake.

Sullivan had previously instructed the parade to do many things, and each time they had been done well. He had a high level of trust in Fiona's abilities and asked, "When are you returning to Los Angeles?"

Fiona pointed out the window: "After this event, I'll be returning to Los Angeles first thing tomorrow morning. I won't be staying in San Francisco for long."

Sullivan suddenly lowered his voice: "My request is simple: once you return to Los Angeles, keep your phone on 24 hours a day. If someone contacts you and the code words match, offer them some assistance."

Fiona was surprised: "I don't do illegal things."

Sullivan, of course, didn't take such high-sounding words seriously and said, "We don't do anything illegal either."

Fiona asked, "The code?"

“Lewinsky,” Sullivan gave a rather unexpected answer.

Fiona paused for a moment, then nodded: "I've written it down."

This kind of code is absolutely unforgettable; the person who set it up was probably afraid people would forget it, right?
Sullivan certainly wouldn't tell Fiona the specifics, but only to prepare a backup escape route for the operatives.

Their armed personnel were almost completely wiped out in Guatemala and Costa Rica, and they were quite wary of the armed forces under Hawke Osment.

According to information from the UK, a force composed of retired members of the Indian Black Cat Special Forces, led by Wenner, is attempting to interfere with the Surrey Satellite deal.

And what happened? Like Wenna, these Indians disappeared without a trace, neither alive nor dead.

Although Indians may be a bit weak, they are still the dominant force in South Asia.

This country's top special forces...

Moreover, all of this happened outside of Los Angeles, which was Hawke Osment and the Ferguson family's stronghold.

Sillari made the risky decision to take action, and Sullivan, as the one carrying it out, had to consider the worst-case scenario.

The marching party is one of the traditional forces in Los Angeles.

After saying this, Sullivan left the coffee shop.

Fiona sat by the window, watching the situation on the street outside, without making any move.

There were other customers in the coffee shop, some of whom were secretly watching Fiona.

Fiona made no further move until the other two high-ranking members of the parade arrived, at which point she quietly left the coffee shop and called Sullivan to report.

This was also a precaution taken by Sullivan.

It's best if there's no situation.

Since the beginning of the year, Sullivan had arranged for someone to infiltrate the parade and secretly observe Fiona for a long time to confirm that there should be no problem with her.

On Fiona's side, the so-called "Lewinsky" matter was temporarily put aside, and she issued instructions in an orderly manner to begin arranging the retreat of the march.

This was just a performance, and now that the audience has all left, there's no need to continue the performance.

…………

Inside the Rainbow Theater, enthusiastic applause erupted.

In the audience, many people applauded while wiping away tears, even those who were not demons or monsters.

Eric's film "Philip," while using the LGBTQ flag as a cover, tells a story entirely about families in the lower rungs of society.

Philip faced discrimination from a young age and risked everything, including his life, for his family and sister.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the cry and struggle of the underprivileged.

To demons and monsters, this was the battle horn, their own war song! (End of Chapter)
