The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 568 Forced to Take a Step Back

The area outside the courthouse in Los Angeles was packed with people.

Riot police were on high alert, their shields forming a wall of protection, completely shielding the Cthulhu protesters.

Los Angeles today is teeming with monsters and ghosts, and under the call of Saint Steve, the Matthews Association and the Minority Rights Protection Association have already made preparations to deal with it.

As before, Cthulhu was suppressed by the monsters as soon as he showed his face.

Even the Los Angeles police officers facing Cthulhu are from diverse cultural backgrounds.

When Sylvie's car arrived at the courthouse, the Cthulhus were enraged, shouting various slogans of support, and some even tried to break through the riot police's lines.

Cthulhu's greatest obstacle is his innate advantage.

The prepared riot police warned in advance: "Don't use your gender to commit violence. I am a psychological woman and a transgender person who has transitioned freely!"

The woman's chest, which had been puffed out, immediately shrank back.

The Cthulhu version is far behind; it hasn't been updated to date and is still the same old thing.

Surrounded by security personnel, Hillary walked up the high steps in front of the courthouse in the afternoon, turned to look at the crowd of supporters, and was utterly disappointed.

Accompanied by her lawyer, she entered the courtroom's waiting room.

Inside the courtroom, the public gallery was packed.

Hawke and Leonardo sat together, watching Cialie slowly enter.

Leonardo subconsciously grunted, a strange taste rising between his lips and teeth.

Suddenly, he noticed that Seraphim had turned around and was staring sharply at him.

After years of being tyrannical, Leonardo's first reaction was to lower his head and avoid Celia's eyes.

But he immediately realized that it was Hillary standing in the dock, not him.

Besides, he has a real backer by his side.

Leonardo remained expressionless, turned to look at Hawke, as if drawing immense courage from him, and met his gaze intently at Sylvia.

Sila turned back, her wrinkled face showing no change in expression.

The plaything he once dominated now dared to defy him, clearly having found a powerful backer.

The scandal involving Hillary Clinton and Leonardo DiCaprio has kept everything about her a topic of discussion for a long time, and her popularity has remained high.

The courtroom remained silent.

More than twenty reporters sat in the media section, cameras bearing the Fox and Twitter logos, broadcasting live to the world via television and the internet.

Everyone is waiting to see a good show.

Sillari knew this too.

But she had to be there, otherwise things would be even more difficult.

Sila sneered inwardly. Did these bastards think they could judge her like this? Did they think they could insult her at will?
Don't even think about it!

Just as the judge announced the start of the trial and Hillary formally walked to the dock, she suddenly swayed and became unsteady on her feet.

The woman following behind quickly stepped forward, and as soon as her hand touched Seraphim's shoulder, Seraphim swayed even more violently and fell to the ground.

The woman used all her strength to support Sila, and two more people ran over and helped Sila lie down on the floor.

"Doctor! Doctor!" the woman cried. "Quick, doctor!"

The doctor assigned to the hospital rushed over with a first-aid kit.

The once orderly scene was turned into a mess.

Sylvie quickly regained some consciousness and said intermittently that she felt dizzy and nauseous.

The court proceedings had to be interrupted, and an ambulance rushed Siraliy to the hospital.

Almost all the media reporters followed Hillary.

The judge announced that the proceedings would be rescheduled for another day, and the crowd dispersed.

Leonardo followed Hawke into the Mercedes armored vehicle.

The crowd is gathered here, and vehicles are moving slowly.

Leonardo glared and frowned: "That old hag is perfectly healthy. She's definitely faking it. She's a great actress, even better than me."

Hawke scoffed, "She thinks she's so clever, using this method to circumvent the legal process, but she's mortgaging her future."

Leonardo asked, "Do you have a good way to handle this?"

Hawke said softly, "A person who frequently has health problems is not suitable for an important position."

"It seems you were prepared all along?" Leonardo asked, slightly surprised.

Hawke said, "This isn't the first time Hillary has fainted; she fainted once during a campaign speech in Washington Square, Manhattan."

Leonardo DiCaprio said, "Shameless old hag."

Leonardo got out of the car midway through the journey, and Hawke took out his phone, dialed Speaker John Boehner's number, and said, "As expected, she put on another spectacular show."

John laughed: "I watched the live broadcast, it was very exciting, and it was within the range of the possible responses you mentioned for Hillary."

Hawke said, "She just keeps using the same old tricks. She loves to use her Cthulhu identity to get attention, but she doesn't realize that the version is already outdated."

John, who had been talking to Hawke a lot lately, understood what he meant: "That's right, she's outdated, we're the trendsetters."

Hawke laughed: "Her biggest obstacle is her status as a former First Lady."

This is a very troublesome issue. If a former first lady is eliminated, it could trigger a frenzy of investigations.

Hawke would dare to do this if he had prepared for a few more years; now is not the time.

John added, "New York State is very busy, and someone with a series of health problems is not suitable to do such heavy work."

“That makes a lot of sense.” Hawke spoke to him for a while, then hung up the phone.

After a moment of contemplation, he said to Edward, “Call Ali-Emanuel and tell him the stage is ready.”

Edward immediately called the famous Hollywood agent: "The stage is set up, it's your turn to perform."

Ali was watching a live broadcast of a hospital on Fox News and said, "I saw the female lead go into the hospital."

“Let’s begin.” Edward mimicked Hawke’s tone, and then hung up the phone.

……

In a seemingly ordinary detached house in Washington, Michelle brought out black tea and poured it for her husband and Ram Emmanuel.

The latter said, "Los Angeles successfully predicted Cila's fall and will launch a media campaign focusing on Cila's inability to perform her duties."

Hei Guanhai sighed slightly: "Unfortunately, a senator is not the president and can not initiate impeachment. To remove her from office, a two-thirds majority vote in Congress is required."

Ram said, "If we join forces with the Elephant Party and initiate a recall process at the hearing, the chances of it passing are still very high."

Hei Guanhai raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "This is the last resort. Now we have enough excuses and reasons to put pressure on the party first. If Xilali does not want to make a dignified exit, then we will help her to do so."

Ram agreed: "Silali has always followed the Cthulhu strong woman route, and her frequent appearances of weakness and incompetence will only increase dissatisfaction within the party."

Hei Guanhai said, "Go and contact them." Then, remembering something, he asked, "Has there been any feedback from San Francisco?"

“Gavin Newson is preparing to run for governor again against Brian.” Ram, who had been in charge of the liaison, said, “Silly’s campaign failed, and the temporary alliance they formed has broken down. Gavin is willing to work with us.”

Hei Guanhai said, "Tell them that we must stand against Sillaly on this matter and put pressure on them."

In the last party nomination election, the Newson family and San Francisco sided with Hillary.

But those days are over; for the sake of our interests, we must look forward.

On a business jet from Washington to Los Angeles, Zipperton turned off the video.

He kept shaking his head and said to the public relations manager Lewis, "She seems smart, but she's actually incredibly stupid. Using this tactic of gaining sympathy once might work, but using it a second time in such a short period of time is simply ruining her political career."

Lewis completely agreed: "Voters don't need a sick man to represent their interests, and neither do the major corporations, especially since she avoids these issues and is afraid to face her enemies."

"Maybe it's because she's getting older," Zipperton said. "I think she's gotten dumber and dumber over the years."

Lewis sided entirely with Loreton: "Perhaps this isn't the right thing to say, but in high-level politics, there aren't many people who can play the Cthulhu game."

Zipperton said, "I can imagine that a huge wave of public opinion has already begun. Our primary goal this time is to get that idiot to back down. If we weren't so closely tied together, I would really want a divorce."

He shook his head: "What we need to do now is to prevent her stupid things from affecting me."

Lewis said with a smile, "At times like this, she's more likely to listen to your advice."

Zipper gave Lewis a strange look.

Lewis noticed, touched his face, and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Zipper suddenly remembered: "I almost forgot, you've never been married and don't understand this kind of thing. You must remember that a husband should never try to persuade his wife. That's like pouring oil on a fire. Everything the husband does is wrong, and she has only made one mistake in her life, which is marrying you."

Lewis, an unmarried man, simply couldn't understand it.

……

Hillary collapsed during her court appearance in Los Angeles, and the incident was broadcast live worldwide on Twitter and Fox News.

This news immediately became the headline of major media outlets.

Hillary has used this tactic twice already, and with Twitter and Fox News leading the charge, public opinion has shown almost no sympathy.

Instead, it was met with ridicule and sarcasm.

“Sirius, who has always presented a tough image, collapsed again under heavy pressure, making people wonder if her public image is just a facade.”

“Siri’s collapse in court is merely an attempt to evade responsibility and divert attention, which proves that she is afraid to face a just trial.”

"What broke Silarie was the darkness and fear in her heart. She couldn't even face her own actions. How could she lead a country, or even a city?"

Some media outlets even suggested holding a trial in Hillary Clinton's absence and sending the former First Lady to prison.

At the University of California School of Medicine, the separate sanatorium building is guarded by security personnel, and unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from entering.

Seraphim sat on the sofa in the study and tossed the newspaper in her hand aside.

John Lucas picked up the newspaper and said, "This time, the media reacted particularly quickly. Before we even arrived at the hospital, Twitter and Fox News had already released opinion-driven reports, as if they had been prepared in advance."

All that she had done had fallen far short of the desired effect. In a terrible mood, Sila said, "These bastards probably guessed I was going to do this."

This is the most reasonable explanation, but not the worst-case scenario, Lucas said: "Several voter representatives from New York State called because they were very concerned about your health."

Sillari understood the real reasoning behind this euphemism: "Are they planning to change their spokesperson?"

Lucas paused for a moment, then said tactfully, "These people only care about their own interests."

Sillari then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Lucas paused to gather his thoughts and said, “People from Chicago, San Francisco, Philadelphia, New York, and other places have called to inquire about your health. They all seem to be implying that you should make a graceful exit, and that you still have a choice.”

Sylvia understood immediately: "They all want to force me to resign, but that's impossible, I will never resign!"

Just as she finished speaking, someone knocked on the door and came in, reminding her, "Madam, you need to take a look at this news."

Sylvia borrowed the iPhone from him and discovered it was a video news post that someone had just published on Twitter.

A reporter encountered Lancelotton outside Los Angeles International Airport and conducted an on-site interview with him.

Zipton spoke directly about Hillary Clinton's health: "Since the election began, she has been worried about the future of America, which has caused her to have sleep problems, her health has deteriorated, and her mental state has also been poor."

He seemed like a devoted and responsible husband: "Her health condition no longer allows her to do high-intensity work. I came to Los Angeles this time to persuade her to resign, and then I will accompany her to the Caribbean for recuperation."

The interview ended there. Sila handed the phone back to her subordinate, her previously calm face now clouded with rage: "Has this bastard gone mad? Is he out of his mind? Did he even get my permission? He's spouting nonsense in front of the media!"

Lucas wisely remained silent.

He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of this odd couple.

Sila took out her phone, dialed Zipperton's number, and her first words were a furious roar: "Bill, you idiot, are you crazy?!"

"I'll be there soon, we'll talk when we meet." Zipperton seemed to have anticipated this situation and replied calmly.

Sila was so angry that she was breathing heavily and wanted to yell again, but the other end of the phone hung up.

A dozen minutes later, Zipperton pushed the door open and came in from outside, saying to Silali, "Let's talk alone."

Lucas quickly left the room, closing the door behind him as he went.

At first, there were faint sounds of Seraphim's roars, but then something Zipperton did made Seraphim fall silent.

Lucas speculated with a wicked sense of humor, "Could it be that Zipperton used his signature move?"
But Celia's favorite is Leonardo DiCaprio.

When the two came out again, Silali had completely calmed down.

She told Lucas, "I've communicated with all parties involved. Given my poor health, I am no longer able to fulfill my duties as a New York State Senator and am prepared to resign."

Lucas understood that Sylvia was prepared to resign in exchange for temporary peace.

Sila added, "We need to communicate well about this. If anyone is still dissatisfied, I don't mind continuing." (End of Chapter)
