Working as a police officer in Mexico

Chapter 388 - 288: Global Superstar—Victor!_2

"Should we protest to the United States?"

"What’s the point of protesting if it’s effective? Why would we need violence then? And who do you think the Americans will side with? One is their flesh and blood, the other just a godson."

Jason Bourne remained silent, lowering his voice, "So we just accept the loss?"

"Accept the loss?"

"The word ’loss’ isn’t in my dictionary. If they don’t want to make it public, then we have to play by the rules, too. Isn’t it all about killing each other? Let’s see whose luck runs out. Life and death are predestined, you understand that, Jason."

"The commander" That was why Victor liked to bring Jason Bourne along. Besides his "unshakeable loyalty," it was his sensibility.

He got it immediately.

"Or how about we hit them with a plane? Crash it into Langley? And then... blame it on the Iraqi people?!"

That was indeed a bold move.

And Victor was actually quite tempted by it.

"General, Minister of Internal Affairs of Austria, Mr. Ramo is here," Secretary Krista Schroeder announced.

Victor turned his head to see a group of people rushing in, the man leading them was muscular, looked quite young, and indeed he was, as Minister of Internal Affairs Ramo was only 36 years old.

He was followed by many of Austria’s top officials.

Before the other party could speak,

he already started with a smile, "Minister Ramo, it seems Austria is not too welcoming of me."

The expression on the other party’s face turned unpleasant in an instant.

...

"Print more! I want more prints! Work 24-hour shifts if you have to, what’s this about unions not allowing it? They want to protest? Let them protest, but first let me make some money!"

This was a true reflection of most European newspaper publishers at the time.

Victor’s photo, fist raised and face resolute, was spread worldwide by the media.

His followers were celebrating.

This news even eclipsed the reports of East and West Germany merging.

In Venice, Italy, Rome, Bergen, Norway, Innsbruck, Austria, Manchester, United Kingdom, Liverpool, New York, United States... and many other cities.

Support for "Victor Movement" erupted, primarily led by the youth. They carried that famous "photo," championing: Long live drug enforcement!

Being young doesn’t necessarily mean indulging in drugs to stand out!

Youth isn’t about recklessly seeking death.

Victor, with his fist clenched and roaring, quickly became an idol around the world.

And those judges from the Pulitzer Prize committee, headed by the president of Columbia University, selected this photo as the winner for the following year.

This was rare in the history of journalism.

And in the latest issue of Time Magazine, originally slated to feature Schwarzenegger, Victor took the spot instead.

An assassination, a global frenzy.

It was just that the internet wasn’t developed enough at the time, or it would have been even bigger.

But as the saying goes, every society has its clever manipulators, and the famous American talk show "The Oprah Winfrey Show" invited an anti-Victor African American.

He was mainly a ’street rap’ artist!

Pointing at the camera, he said, "This is a clear case of a self-directed farce!"

"Victor is a fraud, exploiting everyone’s sympathy to satisfy his own desires, unable to hide his disregard for life. Aren’t the lives of drug traffickers and addicts lives too?"

"His role as Executive Director of the Drug Enforcement Department will only exacerbate violent conflicts. Can he exterminate all the drug traffickers in the world?"

The guest grew more and more agitated, eventually standing up and stripping off his clothes, pointing to his track marks and shouting, "Can you kill me? Here, here, and here..." He pointed to his puncture wounds, "I need inspiration, drugs bring me inspiration!"

Talk show host Oprah watched from the side...

Controversy leads to better ratings.

"Come on! I’m also a drug trafficker, come kill me! Come on!" The African American yelled onstage, receiving applause from some in the audience.

But before he could enjoy two minutes of his outburst, a 200-pound strongman charged onto the stage, shoved away the staff blocking his way, leaped forward, and slapped the African American across the face. Mounting his body, working his fists left and right, he grinded his teeth, "F*** you! You want drugs, I’ll give you drugs!!"

Oprah kept exclaiming OMG on the side.

It took four or five staff members to pull the strongman away, some locking his throat, others pulling his arms.

The African American’s face had swollen from the slaps...

He lay on the ground with tears streaming from the corners of his eyes.

"Long live Victor! Long live drug enforcement!"

"F******* bastard..."

The scene was broadcast across America on television, and "The Oprah Winfrey Show" had a viewership of over ten million!

It was very popular in America.

It even won several Emmy Awards several times.

The director didn’t cut the feed; sometimes, accidents can create classics.

In Langley, the CIA Director’s office.

Richard James Curl watched the "farce" on TV, shaking his head, "Do you know what I see?"

Senior Assistant Steven kept his head down.

"Influence! Victor’s influence is rising, and I feel like I’m seeing the next Michael."

Steven knew who his boss was referring to.

Michael Joseph Jackson!

A man with enormous, enormous, enormous influence in America... a "CMS" warrior!

The CIA tried several times to put an end to him!

Sometimes influence really acts as a protective color, but they absolutely didn’t allow another ’authoritarian’ figure to emerge in North America.

"If Victor were in America, he could even run for president," Director Richard James Curl sighed.

"Should we try again? This time we could try to make contact with his personal doctor," Steven suggested.
