CHAPTER 1193: CHAPTER 167: AT THE END OF DUSK, HE WILL BE CROWNED THE ETERNAL KING OF THE NIGHT_3

The available range is limited to certain matters in San Rodolfo, such as the privatization of the San Rodolfo County Prison, or the replacement of the LAPD Sheriff—issues like the new sequence of the National Guard are beyond the scope of use.

The target of supreme power stops at most with Gasetti—someone has to bear the cost, right?

There are so many restrictions, but... this instead reinforces the reality of the supreme power that Cheng Daqi has obtained.

Because, he has spent mountains of gold, cost many lives, and committed countless sins.

To defeat those bad people, good people have to be worse than the bad ones.

So, he won, he stood last, defeating Nanxi, defeating Wolf.

He paid many ’acceptable’ prices to obtain the supreme power in this strongest human empire.

Just to make Gasetti standing in front of him, become that designated, specially permitted, mutually recognized ’cost’ in the eyes of the diners!

----------

Gru’s fort, the shooting range was brightly lit.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several shots all hit the target, Cheng put down the gun and continued his rant.

"You think this is a good thing? Gru, don’t be stupid!"

Cheng Daqi loudly reprimanded Shabi, the corrupt cop.

"I solve problems by escalating the situation, often because I take advantage of the situation, at least I find a justifiable reason.

How did you do it? Directly using a small drone to bomb the Great Commander!"

"If it were discovered, have you thought about what kind of pressure we would face?"

"Being tough can solve problems, I’m tough with Niusen, I’m tough with Wolf, but if we encounter someone tougher than us, should we just crash into them to death?"

Gru mumbled.

"We haven’t encountered one yet, have we?"

Cheng sneered and said.

"That’s because the conflict hasn’t reached a life-and-death level, but with America’s economic decline, the conflict between the two parties will increasingly tend toward extremism.

In the past, we actively pressed the acceleration button of extremism because the process of political extremism hadn’t reached the brink of danger, now, the value is almost there!"

In the face of unsolved economic problems, the fastest way for politicians to gain support is to attack the incompetence and failures of the opposite side.

The emotions of democracy are ignited, stances become more confrontational, and then there’s the populist flattery competition.

The politicians most capable of stirring emotions and arousing the confrontational resonance of the people can stand in the center of the stage and be successfully elected (debut).

Mildness will become a label of cowardice.

Rationality will be seen as a naive fool.

In the face of interests, the extremism game with stance precedence will make America increasingly incapable.

Cheng Daqi knows that as part of this cyclical process, it is unavoidable.

So, he could press the acceleration button in this time node of 2019.

But as his position gradually rose, he started using it more cautiously.

Because when the scale reaches a certain threshold, the backlash from an extremist strategy can cause him to lose more than he gains.

"Oh, you say there’s a progress bar, where is it? How come I don’t see it?"

Gru, the bastard, mocked by looking around with a ’where’s the progress bar’ smugness.

In his view, Cheng just likes to pretend.

Pretend my ass, huh?

Without me, could you have come this far on your own?

The fact that I’m not retaliating already shows you enough respect, so don’t shout nonsense!

"Soon, you’ll see it."

Cheng Daqi sneered without further explanation.

Why does Cheng want to kill Gru?

Because Gru is damn hard to control!

After experiencing a hidden bomb feud, Gru has evolved again.

Now, he is essentially the same as Wolf, Niusen, or even Nanxi, not Cheng’s subordinate, but Cheng’s interest partner.

Moreover, if Gru doesn’t listen to advice and really causes a big trouble in the future, whether Cheng saves him or not makes no difference.

As long as America exists, Cheng won’t fall, nor will people like Gru.

Wolf and the likes of Niusen are because they’re strong enough, Gru won’t fall because this damn dog can run whenever he wants—Cheng needs to carefully study how to deal with him if he wants to kill him!

If it weren’t for no other way, Cheng wouldn’t part with millions of dollars for Army One.

----------

Jax led the way, Gasetti silently walked into Gru’s fort.

As the saying goes, every cause has an effect. When America’s bureaucrats start to bottomlessly plunder interests, a pathological existence like Gru is born.

What Gasetti didn’t expect was that Niusen couldn’t control Gru, the California Clique couldn’t suppress Gru, and now, even Cheng had no good solution for Gru.

He had been the mayor of San Rodolfo for six years, and yet he was to be tortured in Gru’s manor. It must be said, this is very ironic.

If only he had put Gru down earlier, many things wouldn’t have developed to today.

"Oh, our Mr. Mayor has arrived, Sheriff Lake, why didn’t he come with you?"

The corrupt cop’s eyes lit up when he saw Gasetti.

If Nanxi and the old blond boy had a nemesis relationship, then the relationship between Gru and Gasetti was similar.

Lake was just a dog Gasetti pushed out to limit Gru, for a long time, it was really Mr. Mayor who used continuous tricks and strategies against the head of the corrupt cops.

"Chan, what’s your purpose in asking to see me?"

Gasetti recognized Cheng, and now he clearly understood what the California Elephant Party was really about, naturally knowing that Cheng was the one in charge.

Seeing that Gasetti ignored his words, Gru was somewhat annoyed.
