Tommy was running on the street, and Gene was not far away in the crowd. Tommy stumbled through the crowd, and Gene was not far away. At this time, Gene turned around and smiled.
On Jean's face, there were more black flame lines than before, almost covering the entire face, but that was Jean. Tommy rushed over quickly and saw Jean entering an alley.
Finally, Tommy ran in.
However, there was nothing in the alley. Tommy walked into the dark alley, and suddenly several people appeared around him. A bag was wrapped around Tommy. Immediately, Tommy was punched and kicked, and then a cold knife was held against Tang.
Rice's neck.
"Are there any small denomination money containers?"
Tommy nodded and took it out of his pocket. Someone quickly took away the money container. Tommy was punched and kicked, and then several people left laughing.
Tommy felt that his head was broken. These people were not only robbing him, but also wanted to beat himself up. Tommy stood up with difficulty and took off the smelly bag on his head. He retched several times and took big mouthfuls of food.
Breathing.
Tommy pressed his wet forehead and found that a large piece had broken open. He gasped and sat upright. He had almost forgotten that there were many robbers in this area.
Tommy gasped and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He had given up this cigarette for a long time. Because Gene liked smoking, he would buy a pack to put on him. At this time, Tommy took out a cigarette and lit it.
He shakily lit the fire, and the moment the flame lit up, Tommy felt comfortable.
Looking at the lighter in his hand and the cigarette at his mouth, he took a big drag. Suddenly Tommy coughed violently and burst into tears. His head was dizzy, but the pain in his body slowed down.
Some.
Tommy was still smoking silently in the alley. At this time, someone outside the alley noticed Tommy, and several gang members walked in.
"Congressman Tommy, what's wrong with you?"
Tommy smiled.
"Being robbed."
After a while, Halls, the boss in charge of this area, came over. He saw that Tommy was covered in wounds, and several doctors treated his wounds.
"Damn it, who are these bastards? Find them right away. I want to know within an hour who dares to rob the state assemblyman."
Tommy stood up, and Halls was very scared, because he was afraid that if Gene came back and Tommy said this, he would be finished.
"Just find someone, don't do anything, I want to ask them something."
Tommy returned to the street and sat in a cafe. He pressed his forehead in discomfort. Everything now reminded Tommy of some things in the past.
A long time ago, Tommy was born in a poorer place, but much better than here.
As a child, Tommy longed for some things, especially the products unique to the United States, superheroes.
In many film and television works, comics, novels and animations, those superheroes who are omnipotent in heaven and earth are always able to save people when they are in danger, and they are always able to punish those evil forces.
Tommy likes superheroes very much. He grew up surrounded by a lot of superhero works. Tommy firmly believes that he can become a superhero when he grows up.
Tommy's family is very poor and lives in a truck house in the suburbs. Tommy doesn't know who his father is. He only knows that he met his father after he left home when he was 18 years old. His mother gave birth to Tommy when he was 21 years old.
Come.
Tommy's mother is very strong. Although raising a child by herself is extremely difficult for a woman with no education or skills, her mother still works 4 cents a day and allows Tommy to grow up healthily and happily.
His mother was very strict with Tommy. No matter how busy she was every day, she would accompany Tommy to learn some new knowledge and talk about many social things with Tommy during the little rest time she had after returning home.
Under his mother's strict discipline, Tommy also began to become more and more self-disciplined, and no longer hung out with his friends in the neighborhood who played truant all day long.
However, one day, someone from the PLC came over and told Tommy that his mother had been in an accident. When Tommy passed by, he only saw his mother's cold body and scars all over her body.
Tommy was only 14 years old at the time, and he had a vague idea of ​​what kind of work his mother relied on to support him. After Tommy lost his mother, he lived alone. Fortunately, Tommy did not forget his mother's teachings.
Tommy began to hate poverty more and more, especially the people around him. In fact, they were like many people. It was not that they didn't work hard, but because there was absolutely no place to work hard, and there was no direction worthy of their efforts.
Because of his excellent academic performance, Tommy was recommended to a good school as a role model in their neighborhood. Tommy completely eliminated entertainment and absorbed all kinds of knowledge seriously and crazily. His life soon ushered in
dawn.
At that time, the superhero dream in Tommy's heart was awakened. He knew exactly where he was going, and he could change everything as long as he climbed to a high place.
Tommy successfully entered the top university in the United States. His grades were still excellent and he still stood out from the crowd. After graduation, Tommy quickly got a very good job and met many people along the way.
The painful experience in his childhood made Tommy very good at packaging himself. He knew that if he wanted to get close to people of a certain class, he had to get closer to the people of this class, and show his abilities in Ruoyouruowu, so that he could win the favor of more people.
favor.
Because his mother had said this to Tommy, Tommy gradually integrated into the upper class society quickly. He met many elites. These people were all excellent, but the excellence was limited to their family background. Their abilities were in Tommy's opinion.
In fact, he looks no different from ordinary people.
The more Tommy came into contact with these people, the farther away his dream became. Eventually, Tommy returned to his hometown of CA and easily became the youngest congressman in history.
Tommy was deeply trusted because he was well-known among the elite and Tommy was indeed capable of doing things. Tommy was promoted quickly and more and more people surrounded Tommy.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Until one day, a development project fell into Tommy's hands. One day, a businessman opened the office door. Tommy knew exactly what this businessman wanted.
Come.
After a short conversation, the businessman directly took out 1 million D and promised to give Tommy additional campaign funds every year after the project was completed. Tommy hesitated at the time, but the businessman obviously had other channels, so he asked Tommy
Think about it.
It wasn't that Tommy didn't want to agree to the businessman's conditions, but the heroic dream in his heart kept resurfacing, making him waver. What he was doing now was contrary to his dream.
Tommy struggled in pain for many days. At this time, another businessman came over. They offered a higher price, 2 million D, which Tommy could not refuse. Tommy nodded and signed.
The businessman who came at the beginning also appeared. They were in the same group. Tommy was glad that his heroic dream calmed him down, otherwise he would have lost 1 million D.
Tommy also knew very well that one of his feet had been stuck in the mud. Tommy was surrounded by people like this, and Tommy also began to use his talents. After this time, Tommy began to pass all kinds of things more smoothly.
Various proposals to make money.
Soon Tommy became the second-largest congressman in CA state, but Tommy did not argue with Diego because Tommy knew very well that the future belonged to him, and now it belongs to Diego.
Diego is 15 years older than Tommy, so Tommy is not in a hurry. Soon the governorship of CA will be Tommy's. Tommy just needs to carry on as usual.
However, just a while ago, Diego talked to Tommy, hoping that Tommy would succeed him as governor and then participate in the upcoming presidential election.
When Tommy heard it at first, he felt ecstatic, but soon Tommy woke up from such a sweet dream. The situation in CA state made it impossible to run for president.
The reason why Diego did this was because he didn't want to be the scapegoat and wanted Tommy to be the scapegoat. Tommy decisively refused, citing the time was not ripe and his lack of ability as reasons.
But Diego didn't want to give up such an opportunity. He would talk to Tommy every now and then and let Tommy succeed as governor. However, Tommy was not a fool. He knew very well that once he became the governor of CA, many bombs planted in front of CA would explode.
In the end, the problem is to bear it on your own. In the end, your career will end, and Diego has already earned enough.
Tommy has been trying his best to reject Diego recently, but he still hasn't spoken directly, but the appearance of Gene gives Tommy a reason to refuse, because the current situation requires Tommy to clean up the mess.
Now that Tommy was completely awake, he felt that everything was just business. Tommy stopped thinking about it, but now Tommy had other ideas.
At this time, there was a noise outside the store. Tommy looked over and Halls got up and walked over.
"Damn it, you even dare to rob the state assemblyman. You are really looking for death."
Halls picked up the knife, pulled a young man directly, and cut off his ear. Suddenly several other people panicked, and Tommy stood up to stop him.
"No need to do this, just answer some questions for me."
Tommy looked at the drunken young men who had completely sobered up. The money container was taken back. Tommy still remembered that there were more than 1,100 D, but now there was only more than 500 D left.
"Why did you beat me when you robbed me?"
Halls was furious, and his subordinates came over, intending to make several young men disappear forever. Halls looked at the young men without speaking, and then directly picked up the young men who had their ears cut off and were still wailing.
"Speak, what about Mr. Tommy? If you don't want to say anything, take him over right away."
A young man spoke.
"Because we drank too much and we just wanted to vent."
Tommy laughed, what a ridiculous reason, he didn't want to investigate the reason behind it, and then Tommy asked.
"I've already taken out the money and you still broke my head. Why? Don't you know it could kill me?"
The young people cried and begged for mercy. Hols's eyes signaled that several young people were pulled to the street.
"Whoever dares to do such a thing again will end up like this."
The screams started, and Tommy closed his eyes. This approach could only last for a while. At this time, Halls walked in with a smile. Tommy felt something, and he smiled.
"By the way, are you interested in investing?"
Halls was stunned and nodded immediately.
"I want to run for president."
Halls was stunned for a moment, and Tommy said after taking a sip of wine.
"If you support me, once I succeed, you will no longer need to live in this ghost place. You go and tell everyone, and I will go back."
Tommy has decided that he must seize this opportunity. Although his chances of winning are very low, one thing Halls can be sure of is that there will be many people who want to participate in this deal.
The big companies in CA state and the capital inside all want someone who can speak for them in front of the stage. They have been suppressed too hard in recent years.
Tommy returned directly to the edge of the block, and then drove the flying car directly towards home. Tommy directly contacted Diego.
"I want to run for president."
"Really?"
Diego's voice was full of shock and Tommy laughed.
"What's wrong, haven't you always wanted to push me up? I've thought about it clearly now. I'm going home now and wait for me at my house."
Tommy ended the call, thinking about what Gene said before leaving, as well as the strange dream, the woman named Lexiao, and the spaceship with the words Brilliant City written on it, Tommy still had a trace of it in his heart.
The heroic dream of the past.
Tommy knew very well where he had to climb to realize his dream. Only by winning the presidential throne could Tommy realize his dream.
Although the current election seems to have become a foregone conclusion, Tommy wants to participate in this huge gamble. This may be the only opportunity in his life.
Now Tommy is completely sober. If he doesn't agree to Di Ge, someone else may be the one to take the blame, and Tommy won't be able to be reused, because Di Ge is still the one who holds most of the power. In this election, Di Ge
I will try my best to help Tommy.
Now Tommy is thinking more about this kind of ghetto. As long as they are members of the United States, they have votes. Their votes are monopolized in every election. But if the gang members in these ghettos support
As for Tommy, he can get enough votes.
"This is the only thing I can do now. If I don't do this, not to mention realizing my dream, even my future will be ruined."
Soon Tommy returned to the villa area. After he stopped the car, Diego was already waiting at the door. Tommy opened the door and Diego came in with a happy face and hugged Tommy.
"You have finally thought it through, Tommy. With such a good opportunity and your ability, you will definitely be able to get more votes than me. We will all support you."
Tommy looked at Diego's cruel fake smile and nodded.
