Reborn American Giants

Director Damiani's heart was filled with excitement. He took the police badge and appointment letter representing the city bureau chief from Mayor Chavez. He shook hands with the mayor in a daze, and then his eyes were caught by flashes of lights.

submerged.

The wrinkles on the face of the old man in front of him were all squeezed together, with a warm smile on his face. He patted the back of Damiani's hand and said: "Chief Damiani, first of all, congratulations on your appointment as the city police chief. Now

, it’s up to you to protect the safety of the entire citizens of San Salvador. Well, as the owner, today this venue is handed over to you.”

Damiani stood on a podium in front of him in front of the camera flashes. He held the microphone with his right hand and looked at the people in the audience who were staring at him with complicated eyes, including the three other bureau chiefs in San Salvador.

, several deputy directors of the General Administration, their eyes revealed a kind of envy and jealousy, as well as some middle-level commanders in the police station, elite police officers, a large number of media reporters, and several people who have strongly supported the work of the police station for many years.

"Social virtuous person".

He opened his mouth and read the speech drafted by his secretary, Christian, in his hand, but his thoughts returned to the night before yesterday...

…………

It was still the bleak Tim's Bar. Damiani sat slightly awkwardly on the sofa in the wooden booth, waiting for Victor's arrival. He recalled in his mind the last conversation he had with Congressman Victor here.

What exactly is the performance like?

"Oh, damn it."

He thought about how unbearable his performance was at that time, and the fear overwhelmed his reason, causing him to cry bitterly in front of a city council member who was much younger than him, and almost knelt down to beg him for help.

This made Damiani feel a little embarrassed, "I'm just a city councilor, there's nothing to be afraid of," he encouraged himself in his mind.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Damiani was staring at the snooker table in the middle of the bar. A group of people were shouting and the third game had already begun. When a scantily clad girl was facing Damiani,

Yani leaned down, his upper body lying on the table, and hit the ball hard with the club in his hand. The two towers on his chest also trembled, causing Damiani's Adam's apple to tremble, and he swallowed secretly.

He took a sip of saliva.

"Ah, Director Damiani, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting for so long. Well, it seems that our Director has discovered some clues to the case?..."

"Victor, don't be so mean."

"Ah, Senator Victor, Ms. Louisa, I'm so sorry, I was distracted," Damiani hurriedly struggled to get up from the narrow sofa, saying apologies repeatedly.

The visitor was none other than Damiani's long-awaited guest Victor tonight. As for Luisa, she had just attended a charity banquet with Victor held by the church and the International Red Cross at the Iturbide Hotel.

So the two of them came over together during the reception.

"Miss Louisa, it's been a long time since I saw you. Your style is still so charming."

"Ah, you are really good at talking, unlike someone who forgets about his old love when he has a new love."

Facing Luisa's somewhat plaintive tone, Victor shrugged his shoulders. Too many things had happened recently. He didn't have the time or energy to play any emotional games with Luisa. Since Chairman Amfilo talked to him

After getting over his emotional problems, he subconsciously distanced himself slightly from Luisa.

Damiani felt a little embarrassed, although the "scandal" between Victor and the rich Luisa of the Farben family was circulating throughout the social scene of San Salvador. The men were drooling and coveting this familiar girl.

The rich woman’s curvy body fantasizes about pressing this charming woman under her body

Next, they whipped him vigorously and gained both men and wealth. They stared at Victor standing next to Louisa with envy and jealousy. The women privately mocked Louisa as a promiscuous and licentious woman who had overshadowed them.

He was resentful that he had occupied Victor, the youngest member of the city council.

In short, the reputation of the two of them is second only to the reputation of "adulterer**" in San Salvador's social circle, but in person, everyone has almost identical smiles on their faces, and they flatter each other hypocritically.

"Damiani, my dear friend, I was really surprised to receive your invitation. I happened to want your help with something, and I received your call. It seems that we have a good understanding.

," Victor did not answer Luisa's topic. After shaking hands cordially with Damiani, he took the seat first and then said to him with a smile.

"Ah, Victor, if you need anything, just tell me and I will be happy to help you."

"Haha, it's actually just a small thing. I think it's just a piece of cake for you. Well, don't worry, I won't embarrass you." Victor said relaxedly to Damiani, who was looking at him seriously: "I

This person likes to make friends by nature, so when Chief Bender’s secretary, Officer Stian, found me, I felt very embarrassed!”

After a pause, as if to let Damiani digest the information contained in his words, Victor watched Luisa ask the bartender to bring two cocktails. He took the wine glass and continued: "You also know

, Chief Bender is gone, and the situation with Stian in the police station is a bit complicated."

"Indeed, Bender has offended many people before. Now that he is dead, everyone is preparing to take revenge on the people he left behind."

"Yes," Victor sighed, "Although I have some friends, after all, I am in the parliament, and it is really not easy for me to interfere in the internal affairs of the police station, so I can only trouble you."

Damiani woke up from the shock of hearing the news. No one would have thought that Bender's closest secretary was actually Victor's man. Now it seems that Bender's death was not unjust, even if he didn't die this time

, the prosecutors from the District Attorney’s Office will not let him go either. I heard

At Victor's words, Damiani said in a more respectful manner: "What's the trouble? Victor, you seem to be out of touch when you say this. We are friends, aren't we? Your friends are my friends,

Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Steve’s affairs.”

"Ah, thank you very much, Damiani."

"You are too polite. If you need anything in the future, just hang up the phone with me. I will definitely handle it for you." Damiani tried his best to control his facial expression, not wanting to reveal what was in his heart.

Overturned, he secretly cursed himself for being a fool.

It's strange that in front of the subordinates of the police station, Damiani is a strong and resolute person who speaks his mind, but when facing Victor, a member of the city council who is much younger than him, he feels a little at a loss.

Facing a loss of authority, that innate and infallible temperament disappears without a trace.

Maybe it was because of the last meeting between the two that he behaved too badly in front of Victor? Or maybe from the bottom of his heart, he is a villain who worships power? Damiani's heart was churning.

Victor didn't know that the director in front of him had so many thoughts going on in his mind. He raised his glass, took a sip, and asked casually: "Look at me, I'm just talking about my own business. You invited me here today, you must have something."

Please speak freely about important things, Damiani, there is no need to be polite in front of me."

Damiani knew that the "meat show" was coming. He took out a prepared document from his side and handed it to Victor. He said in a humble tone: "Victor, I know it's not the time now, but I think you can do it when you have time."

You can take a look at this when you’re here.”

"What is this?" Victor raised the thick bound document in his hand and asked directly without opening it to read.

"Ah, you know that although Director Band has committed suicide, the mess he left behind has to be cleaned up by the living people. So, here are some situations that I think the police department may face next,

I very much hope that you can give me some guidance and suggestions on some methods and countermeasures we should take."

Victor's right hand slowly rubbed the document that smelled of ink. He knew that this was a test by Damiani. The fat man looked a bit miserable on the outside, but he didn't look stupid on the inside.

What kind of identity would make him worry about the situation that the police station will face next? There is no doubt that it is the police chief. He used such a document to test Victor, whether he could possibly become the police chief.

The police chief, or in other words, will Victor support him in becoming the police chief?

The current situation in the city government is a bit delicate. Everyone, including Chavez himself, knows very well that he is a puppet of the Christian Democratic Party. Letting him take over as mayor is just a temporary expedient. Chavez himself

He was also prepared for the fate of being kicked out after more than a year, so his current choice is to seize the time and desperately make money.

Chavez sold such an important position as the capital's police chief to Victor for US$1 million. It seems that Damiani also got wind of something, and now he has come to Victor to play these little tricks.

"Damiani, Damiani..." Victor kept chanting the name of the branch director in front of him. Every time he said it, Louisa could see the unnoticeable shape of his shoulders under the dim light.

He trembled, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

She looked at Victor sitting next to her with a pair of eyes full of intoxication. She saw that he was now in front of her. He could use words so easily and freely to make Damiani, a prince in the police station, act like a prince in front of him.

Like a newbie, he was frightened by his words.

Perhaps the dark space gave Louisa more courage. She took Victor's right hand and put it under the table. The man's rough and cold hand touched her delicate thigh skin, which made Louisa feel crazy.

The stimulation made her tremble all over, and she could feel the tiny goose bumps that suddenly appeared on her body...

"This crazy woman."

Victor was secretly surprised by Louisa's boldness, especially when there was Damiani in front of him who was trying to open his eyes wide, waiting for his next words. Victor continued without changing his expression: "Damiani

Ni, you are really a smart person, what can I say about you..."

"Haha," faced with Victor's question, Damiani laughed twice and said nothing, but the desire in her eyes burned even more intensely.

"I have already said that we can talk about anything between the two of us. As your friend, will I refuse your request?"

"This...please forgive me, Victor, I really don't know how to explain it to you without being rude. I don't want you to think that I am a greedy person, but the situation the police station is facing now is too great.

Oops. You know, I work in the police department

It has been decades, I love this job, and I also like the way the public looks at me with trust and admiration for the uniform I am wearing. I really can’t bear to see the glorious police badge being covered up by those nonsense media.

This is simply an insult to my faith..."

Victor seemed to be listening very seriously to Damiani's "nonsense" that he had practiced countless times in private, and nodded from time to time to show that he agreed very much, but if the light was good enough, it would be fine.

Seeing that his eyes were completely unfocused, it was obvious that his attention was not focused on this conversation at all.

To outsiders, this is a beautiful woman looking at the man she loves with admiration. The ambiguity in the darkness gave Victor a different kind of stimulation. Under the psychedelic light, he looked at Louisa.

With her charming face, Victor could see in her eyes the complicated expressions of madness and admiration, desire and shame... She was truly a "witch".

Finally, Luisa calmed down. She held Victor's thick arm with one hand and sat upright. Then she elegantly picked up the blue margarita cocktail on the table and drank it in one gulp. At this moment

At this time, Damiani's narration just ended.

"...So, Victor, I hope you will support me in my bid for the position of police chief. Please rest assured that your help will never be forgotten."

To spit out such a long "inner monologue" in one breath is really a huge test for a person's lung capacity. Is it true that people often say "the fatter you are, the bigger your lung capacity will be"? Victor's face is neither red nor out of breath.

Damiani looked at him with expectant eyes, waiting for his final decision, and pondered for a while.

Among the people who have taken refuge with Victor in the police station, the most suitable person to take over as police chief is this damn fat man. There is no other better candidate among Victor's entourage. This is the result of his rapid rise in status. This situation happened for a while.

It may not get a good solution.

But he can't easily agree to Damiani's request, which will make him feel less precious about the position of police chief.

"Okay, I have understood it after listening for a long time." This was Louisa. She stroked her hair beside her ear and broke the silence. "Victor, you and Director Damiani are friends.

, since he has asked you for help, you should think about it." Shunyan gestured to Victor with his eyes.

Damiani was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at the charming Luisa with grateful eyes and decided in his heart that he would never go to other social occasions with others to lust after this famous person in the social circle.

A very unbearable rich woman, I think I am grateful to her.

Victor understood the meaning in Louisa's eyes very well. He coughed slightly and said in a slightly embarrassed tone: "Damiani, you really gave me a difficult problem. You know, as a

Members of the city council should not have too much interference in the appointment of personnel in city government departments.

But just like Louisa said, who do you think we are friends? I can’t give you a definite answer yet. I can only tell you that I will try my best to fight for you.”

Finally receiving a satisfactory answer, Damiani was elated. He stood up with great effort, tightly grasped Victor's left hand on the table, looked excited and said with trembling words: "Victor, please don't worry, I will definitely do it."

In return for your help to me, please believe me, I will never forget it..."

…………………………

Sitting in the car on the way back, Louisa closed her eyes, held his arm, and spread her hair on Victor's shoulders.

Sniffing the fragrance of hair coming from the tip of his nose, Victor felt a little emotional. He now also feels the change in himself. Once upon a time, he also hated certain behaviors, such as hating corrupt officials, hating drug traffickers, hating those bureaucrats and politicians...

But look at now, he has become a dupe, and a big dupe at that. The Gref family controls more than half of the neighborhoods in San Salvador. He has also cooperated with the Cali Group, and a steady stream of goods passes through his hands.

Franklin was trafficked to the United States and earned a huge sum of money.

Similarly, now those corrupt officials have become his favorite group of people to deal with, and he can't help but use money, beautiful women and power to corrupt those originally upright officials and police officers, dragging them down and becoming his "friends"

”.

He also became a politician. In the city council, he used all means to attack his political opponents. Countless people benefited from the policies he introduced, and countless people were completely defeated and disappeared because of him.

As for his private life, Victor suddenly discovered that he seemed to enjoy all kinds of beauties moaning gracefully under him, such as Louisa next to him now...

"why"? "when?"

These two questions suddenly lingered in Victor's mind. Why did he become like this? When did he start to change?

Looking back on the past, every scene since his rebirth appeared in Victor's mind. These questions seemed difficult to answer, but in fact, Victor already had the answers in his heart.

That is, he has become egoistic now, and all decisions are made from the perspective of his own interests, which means that he has become selfish.

Human character is not static, it will change as the environment changes. Victor is now in the Fandino slums and the Parliament. Both are places of intrigue and murder. Victor must tighten his nerves at all times.

, fight against enemies from all sides.

Being in such an environment for a long time, Victor himself may not have noticed it, and all the decisions he made began to be based on his own safety, status and interests, which made this point even more aggravated.

Perhaps when he made the decision to fight through all these situations, it was just to survive and to give himself and those who followed him a better future.

But now, as time passed and he got closer and closer to the light, his heart began to churn restlessly. Greed, passion, and ambition were intertwined, and everything around him disappeared. He suddenly became alert, and he actually started to enjoy this.

All life...

Putting aside those excuses woven with gorgeous words, Victor felt a sense of fear that he had not felt for a long time in his heart, and the source of this feeling was precisely himself.

He is afraid that if he continues to live a deceitful life like this, his inner concept of right and wrong, good and evil will become more and more indifferent, and he will become like the person he originally hated, and his inner bottom line will become lower and lower, until one day it will disappear...

Victor fantasized about all this, copying what his future would look like in his mind, smelling the faint fragrance of Louisa's black hair, and finally closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The brightly lit city flashed by outside the window...
