The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, Coast Building.

Hawke received a notification from Andrei via a dedicated encrypted satellite channel.

The remaining six members of Ivanov's mercenary squad who had escaped were all killed by Lisky.

The strongest armed force in the Silarian covert front has been completely wiped out.

All Hurricane Company personnel were safely evacuated from Russia.

Hawke glanced at the local Russian news his assistant had brought him: a fire had broken out at a café in Liski, and five people had been found dead at the scene.

The body of Natalia, the café owner, was found at the Levotte Farm in the suburbs; she had died from a gunshot wound.

"Russia says this was a targeted murder and that it will do everything in its power to find the perpetrator."

In the meeting room of the Beverly Business Club, Jennifer shared what she knew: "They've found out some information about Ivanov and the others."

Erica continued, "Without a specific target or mission, it's often difficult to investigate, but since the bodies have been found, given the Russians' capabilities, they're bound to make some discoveries."

Hawke asked, "I've also received information that the Russian Federal Security Service may have taken over the case."

Jennifer also received word: "Yes, it's them."

After receiving the news, Hawke had already given it some thought: "I had someone compile some information about Ivanov's team and plan to send a copy to WikiLeaks through covert channels."

Erica's eyes lit up: "A major report on Cillari's collusion with the Russians?"

Jennifer reminded her, "You have to wait until I take action on my end."

“Of course.” Hawke’s plan was to expose these things after the FBI operation. He said, “WikiLeaks has already gained public trust by exposing Hillary through the email scandal and the Lolita Island scandal. It also involves the Russia collusion investigation. If we expose these things now, public opinion will be on the opposite side of Hillary.”

Erica asked, "Has the application been approved?"

Jennifer nodded slightly: "The evidence is sufficient, we'll have it in hand soon, and we can forcibly summon Sullivan very quickly."

Hawke said, "Then let's split up."

Jennifer smiled and said, "I'll let you know."

The three left the Beverly Hills club and went their separate ways.

Queens, New York.

In an ordinary little building near Flushing, Sullivan opened the safe, took out a passport and a small amount of cash, and selected one of them.

After Hillary Clinton's election defeat, he, as the black glove of the campaign team, is preparing to travel abroad for a period of time.

This time, the two sides' unbridled attacks may very well lead to a reckoning.

The former couple, Zipton and Hillary, may not have a major problem, but who knows what might happen to those below them.

Sullivan didn't want to gamble. After finishing up the remaining matters with Sillari, he wanted to leave America for a while before Tom Emer took office.

His phone suddenly vibrated. He took it out and glanced at it; it was a text message from his most trusted subordinate.

"Boss, take a look at the news on this website."

Sullivan took a closer look at the address and discovered it was an English website in Russia.

He logged in with his smartphone and saw the news; among the dead, two of them were people he had met once before.

Sullivan was also familiar with the name Natalia.

These are the remaining members of Ivanov's squad; they were all wiped out by some unknown force.

Sullivan felt an even greater sense of urgency. He took out his phone, made a call, and after a few words, asked, "I need to reschedule my flight to today. Flight? The sooner the better, preferably one that leaves North America."

They coordinated with him and quickly finalized the flight rescheduling arrangements.

Sullivan quickly packed his bags, preparing to head to JFK Airport immediately.

A dozen minutes later, he put his suitcase and leather bag into his car and drove out of the garage.

Before the car could even turn onto the road, several black SUVs suddenly rushed over from nearby and blocked Sullivan's path.

Sullivan, being a man of experience, immediately recognized the situation as likely being handled by the FBI.

He didn't panic. He took out a cell phone and prepared to make a call.

But the FBI agents in blue uniforms rushed in from outside, their guns pressed directly against the driver's side window and the windshield.

A burly man shouted, "Don't move! Hands up! Let me see your hands! Now!"

The FBI agent in the windshield was holding a shotgun and even made a loading motion.

Sullivan quickly released his grip, raised both hands to indicate that he was unarmed, and opened the car door as instructed by the FBI agent.

Two agents immediately dragged him out and pinned him against the back door of the car.

Some people came forward to show various documents, some were searched, and others searched cars and houses.

All the mobile phones, computers, laptops, and other items seized were sealed in evidence bags.

Two agents forced Sullivan into an SUV and drove him directly to the airport.

On the tarmac at JFK Airport, the FBI's special business jet, after being notified, immediately cut in line and prepared for takeoff. Once the passengers arrived, it left New York directly.

The FBI, which was conducting a search of the house, was dealing with the NYPD, which had responded to a call from a neighbor.

The FBI refused to allow the NYPD to intervene, citing an urgent and classified mission.

The two sides reached a stalemate for a time.

…………

Swell, Australia.

Julian Assange has just received a modest investment to upgrade his servers and other equipment.

He was well aware that all of this was due to WikiLeaks' global influence from reporting on Hillary Clinton.

Cahill, quite excited after setting up the new server, asked, "Boss, did we influence the US election?"

"Influence?" Assange's ambitions were far greater than his, and he had higher hopes for WikiLeaks: "You could say that we played a significant role in this election, directly causing Hillary Clinton's approval ratings to plummet and profoundly impacting the election results."

The female assistant looked at her boss with starry eyes: "We're already this strong." Assange smiled: "We'll continue to use the whistleblowing approach. Now that we have some funding, the website can release information to the public and offer rewards for secret news. As long as they have scoops, we'll dare to collect and publish them."

Cahill sat back down at his workstation, turned on his new work computer, logged into his work email, and found an unread email.

I opened the email directly, and the subject line read: "The whole story of Hillary's collusion with the Russians!"
After downloading the email, Cahill opened it and immediately exclaimed, "Boss, come quick! Here's the latest bombshell about Sillari!"

Assange immediately ran over, leaned over to the LCD monitor to read the emails together, and after reading a few, he laughed excitedly, as if he had grasped the pulse of the world's development, and said loudly: "Excellent! Absolutely brilliant! Some bastards previously questioned whether the Russia collusion accusations we pinned on Hillary were false, but now the evidence is conclusive!"

Cahill wondered, "These people seem to see us as a weapon."

“What does it matter if the material is strong and big enough?” Assange knew very well that without being the knife, he couldn’t get these things. He said, “Today we may be the knife in their hands, but tomorrow they may become our knife.”

Without any hesitation, he made a decisive decision: "Organize these emails immediately. I'm going to publish them today. I'm determined to get this headline."

Cahill called a few other people to his office to work together on the news event.

…………

Peterson Strategic Consulting, Washington.

Elizabeth Carter flipped through the case in her hands, thinking about how to move forward.

This includes Twitter's federal network communications software innovation plan, the West Coast's Starlink project, SpaceX's return to the moon and Mars exploration and landing plan, and West Coast Technologies' civilian drone plan.

On the surface, these are all plans driven by different companies.

In reality, they can all be linked to the same person—Hock Osment.

This is also the only client of Elizabeth Carter and Peterson Strategic Consulting in the last two years.

With so many complex and demanding plans, Peterson simply didn't have the time or need to attend to any other clients.

The assistant knocked and came in, saying, "Madam, the boss wants to see you in the reception room."

Elizabeth nodded, left the office, and went to the company's No. 1 reception room.

In the reception room, besides Peterson, there was a square-faced middle-aged man and another person who looked very much like a lawyer.

Peterson introduced the two parties: "This is Ms. Elizabeth Carter, another partner in the company; this is Roger Keane, director of the West Coast Investment Fund; and this is legal counsel Richard Wilson."

After they shook hands, they each sat down on one side.

Peterson continued, "Roger is here to discuss investment matters."

He had already informed Elizabeth about this matter, and the West Coast Investment Fund would invest in Peterson Strategic Consulting.

In other words, they were going to be recruited by Hawke Osment.

Elizabeth, as a partner, agreed. Although her shares would be diluted, the pie would grow bigger, and she would get more.

After several rounds of negotiations, the two sides reached an agreement on the investment.

Once the contract was officially signed, Peterson received a new lobbying plan.

Elizabeth's team lobbied Congress to establish a new investigative panel and push for hearings against Hillary.

There had been widespread rumors of a hearing for Hillary Clinton, but these were mostly fabricated stories intended to damage her reputation.

Holding a hearing for a candidate during their campaign is extremely difficult.

But now that the election is over, the Elephant Party not only has Tom Emer in the Oval Office, but John Boehner will also become Speaker in January, and the Elephant Party also holds a majority of seats in Congress.

As seasoned strategic consultants, Elizabeth and Peterson quickly got busy.

…………

With WikiLeaks launching a new round of revelations, Hillary Clinton is once again at the center of public debate.

The FBI also revealed that it had subpoenaed Sullivan, one of Hillary Clinton's campaign managers, on charges of orchestrating the Hudson River estuary helicopter crash and the Irvine WikiLeaks shooting, and had obtained substantial evidence of Sullivan's direct contact with Russians.

The fact that Ivanov and others had served in the Russian army was brought up again.

The software and audio/video recordings of his transactions and communications with Sullivan have also appeared on WikiLeaks.

Although Sullivan did not mention the name Sylvia, he frequently mentioned his boss and her, implying that the superior who instructed him to do these things was a woman.

Similarly, Sullivan's resume was thoroughly investigated, revealing that he had been employed by Sillaly and the Lalstons before 2000 and had been working for them for many years.

The Hudson River estuary helicopter crash case has been brought back into the public eye. At the time, the media claimed that Russia was responsible, and indeed, the Russians were behind it. However, the person who instigated the Russians was Hillary Clinton.

Public opinion completely swung against Hillary.

Major newspapers are a bit better; when dealing with someone like Hillary Clinton, they naturally have a bottom line and generally speak based on the facts that have been exposed.

Rumors spread rapidly like a virus in tabloids and online.

Why did Hillary Clinton collude with Russia? It all started during the Watergate scandal when she met a raven. Hillary was captivated by the raven's looks and skill, and fell madly in love with him. However, she was secretly filmed by a camera planted by the raven. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the KGB came to an end, but Russia inherited its legacy. After years of investigation, they discovered Hillary's video. This led to Hillary's frequent secret collaborations with Russians in recent years, specifically targeting American media, politicians, and business tycoons who were hostile to Russia.

Based on this, fan fiction about Hillary and the Raven even appeared on the internet, which may be the earliest online novel in America.

"Why has America's development slowed down in recent years? Because my leaders are people like Hillary Clinton! Look at her, she doesn't hesitate to use despicable and shameless means to kill for her own selfish interests. She is a criminal, a traitor!"

"I now believe that Tom Emer is truly innocent, and that Sillari is the one who committed the crime!"

"Get Cialie out of Congress!"

"Siali must get out of Congress!"

This call, which arose in response to public opinion, was particularly loud and quickly became the mainstream voice on the internet and in some media outlets.

A poll was launched on Twitter and Yahoo, with three options: Hillary Clinton leave Congress, remain in office, or it doesn't matter.

After a few days, 80% of voters wanted Hillary Clinton out of Congress.

In his office on the 16th floor of the Coast Building, Hawke was having a video conference with Elizabeth Carter.

Elizabeth reported to Hawke: "We have mobilized 22 media outlets in Washington to cover this matter extensively, raising public awareness. We have also released a report on the march and rally, and several march companies have accepted our services. We expect more than 3000 people to participate in the congressional petition rally and launch a five-day march and demonstration against Hillary."

These are all ways to create public and media pressure, but to say they have a very significant effect would be an exaggeration.

Hawke asked the crucial question: "What about Congress?"

Elizabeth's cold face showed a hint of a smile: "In addition to the members of Congress who support us, we have also lobbied 21 other members of Congress, and together with the people Tom Emer has contacted, we will propose to hold hearings against Sillari."

She added, "Congress has officially confirmed Tom Emer's victory; his candidacy has expired." (End of Chapter)
