"That's right, you've probably heard some news. I'm going to make sure they completely get out of Anchorage."

Qi Yun leisurely took out a cigarette box and offered one, "Want a smoke?"

Jackson glanced at him cautiously and shook his head.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

"It's simple." Qi Yun put the cigarette back and lit one for himself.

"Whew~ The Aryan Brotherhood recently lost a lot of men. This is the Wild Wolf Gang's chance to wipe them out and drive them away; all the territory will be yours."

"I can provide you with some additional help."

Jackson listened and didn't show surprise, instead, he calmly said, "Benny is Benjamin's lapdog. Benjamin won't sit idly by; he'll have those cops target me."

"That's part of the help I'm offering you." Qi Yun smiled slightly and flicked the ash from his cigarette, "I'll handle Benjamin. You don't need to worry."

Jackson's pupils slightly contracted, and he looked deeply at Qi Yun. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Handling a city councilman? He said it so casually.

For ordinary people, a councilman represents the upper echelon. They're not just a person but a group of interests.

However... considering some of the latest news he'd heard, maybe this Huaxia person really has the means.

Once again, the Aryan Brotherhood was bloodily purged...

"How... do you plan to deal with him?" Jackson couldn't help asking. This concerns the success or failure of the operation and even the survival of the Wild Wolf Gang; compared to the Aryan Brotherhood, his biggest disadvantage is a lack of upper-level backing.

"That's not something you need to worry about." Qi Yun didn't intend to reveal too many details.

"You just need to know that when you act against the Aryan Brotherhood, Benjamin should already be in trouble, with no energy to care about Benny's fate."

Jackson was silent for a few seconds. If the other party can indeed achieve this, it would undoubtedly remove the Wild Wolf Gang's biggest obstacle.

Without Benjamin's protection, he has confidence in taking on the current Aryan Brotherhood.

"What do you want?" He asked the crucial question.

Because this matter seems like an easy gain for the Wild Wolf Gang, and there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

"Your loyalty." Qi Yun calmly uttered four words.

Jackson didn't react for a moment, and the muscles on his face noticeably tightened.

"What did you say?"

"I said, I want your loyalty."

Qi Yun repeated, his tone calm, yet his gaze became sharp, "I help you clear obstacles, give you the chance to rise, even pave the way for your future."

"And what you need to do is completely control the Wild Wolf Gang and, when I need it, execute my orders unconditionally."

Jackson's face became extremely unpleasant.

He thought the other party would want nothing more than a share of future profits, but unexpectedly, what they wanted was complete control!

"Are you kidding?" Jackson's voice turned cold.

"I built the Wild Wolf Gang from scratch; it is mine! I cannot hand it over to anyone, nor can I be anyone's subordinate!" He said and prepared to leave.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse."

Qi Yun calmly extinguished his cigarette, "Think about it, even if you succeed in taking out Benny and annexing the Aryan Brotherhood's territory, then what?"

"You're still just a gang leader, still facing police harassment, the covetousness of other forces, your ceiling is right above you."

"But if you follow me, the situation will be completely different."

"I will help you launder your reputation, transform and enter more profitable legitimate industries; you'll have the protection of upper-level powers, a stable source of income, not confined to Anchorage and Alaska."

"And you, Jackson, will no longer just be an infamous gang leader; you will become a truly influential figure."

Qi Yun's voice sounded incredibly enticing, causing Jackson, who was about to leave, to sit back down.

His clenched fist slowly relaxed, and he had to admit, the blueprint Qi Yun painted was indeed tempting.

Who in the underworld doesn't want to go clean and make it to shore? Which boss doesn't want a legitimate identity and respected status?

"How can you prove what you're saying?" Jackson asked seriously.

"Whew~ Time will prove it." Qi Yun extinguished the cigarette butt, his tone still calm, "Let's start with taking down Benjamin."

"Actually, I'm not really interested in controlling a gang; I have a lot of business here in the future, and I need someone trustworthy to watch over them, protect my interests."

"And in return, I will give you what you want."

He paused, adding, "Of course, you can choose to refuse."

"I will look for another partner."

Jackson plunged into silence again, a fierce battle within.

In the end, the desire for power, greed, outweighed that little bit of pitiful dignity.

"I need to see concrete action."

"If everything is as you say, then... the Wild Wolf Gang and I are willing to follow your... commands..." Jackson's voice came out dry.

In the end, he had to bow, although he tried to maintain a semblance of dignity in his wording, the essence was clear; it's an allegiance.

Qi Yun's face showed a satisfied smile.

He didn't need the other party to immediately bow and swear allegiance, those formal things are meaningless.

Only benefits are the best way to solidify relationships; as long as he can continue to provide irresistible benefits, this loyalty will persist.

"A wise choice, Mr. Jackson."

Qi Yun extended his hand, "Let's begin with dealing with the Aryan Brotherhood as the first testament to our collaboration."

"You won't regret today's decision."

....

Councilman Lu Ning moved quickly, showing he was really urgent.

Just after receiving the video sent by Qi Yun, he immediately had his assistant find several journalists to expose the matter.

At the same time, he hurriedly went to the capital's Parliament Building himself.

To ensure Benjamin's downfall, he must be fully prepared; not only must he tarnish the opponent's reputation, but also ensure judicial fairness.

In the political ecosystem of the United States, clustering is common; it's not just divided by parties, often there are small groups within parties of the same race.

And in the state legislature, there is one councilman of the same race as Lu Ning, who used to be his advisor.

After finding this person, he explained his intentions directly, and upon hearing Lu Ning had a chance to become mayor, the other immediately promised to use all his power to support Lu Ning's elevation.

Moreover, that state legislator personally accompanied Lu Ning to the Anchorage prosecutor's office, the purpose was obvious.

Meanwhile, as several journalists quickly posted news of Benjamin tampering with justice and covering up his son's crime to major media platforms, it instantly stirred a shocking wave in Alaska's political scene.

And not just in Alaska, the speed of information spreading in the internet age far exceeds imagination.

In less than two hours, the scandal of Councilman Benjamin had already made headlines across major news websites.

A high official's son can commit crimes and still roam free; this immediately sparked anger among the grassroots populace, with the outcry on social media flooding in like a tidal wave.

"This is the face of the privileged class!"

"Our judicial system is already completely rotten!"

"Damn it! I can't tolerate the United States becoming like this; I'm going to Alaska myself to send these two bastards to hell!"

In fact, Lu Ning's caution was somewhat overdone; even if he didn't stir people up, someone would help blow the issue up.

To say who is more joyful now than him, it would definitely be the Democratic Party politicians.

They quickly organized a public opinion offensive, trying to link Benjamin's scandal with the entire Republican Party, guiding public sentiment from personal corruption to distrust of the entire party.

"This is not an isolated case!"

Democratic Party spokesperson held a press conference in Washington that afternoon, "This is the inevitable result of Republican Party governance philosophy! Relaxing regulations, indulging privilege, politicizing the judicial system!"

"Look at what happened in Alaska! A councilman's son commits a major crime, yet can be easily protected! This is not just one person's downfall, this is systemic corruption!"
