PART 66

The TV news anchor continued.

"According to the confessions of the arrested fugitives, after they escaped from prison, Jason once recruited them, and nearly 30 fugitives joined Jason's organization."

"Based on this information, I can confidently infer that the clown pattern on the prison wall was left by Jason. Elle is taunting the police on the one hand, and announcing to the world that the criminal organization led by him is officially established, 'The Joker'."

The anchor explained his theory.

"If Jason wants to evade police pursuit, then he should keep the number of escapees to a minimum. Gathering these fugitives together is inviting trouble."

"From Jason's past criminal record, he is not a fool. Therefore, I conclude that the purpose of Jason's terrorist organization is not to fight the police, but to prepare for terrorist activities."

"As for whether the terrorist activities target ordinary people or the government, it is currently unknown. Eowever, it is certain that Jason is a threat to national security, and he is even more dangerous than that other criminal."

"Therefore, the military and the government must intensify the search and arrest of Jason while he is still unstable. Otherwise, dozens of fugitives with heinous crimes will gather together to launch a terrorist attack, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

After breakfast, Jason put down his knife and fork and said in a slightly appreciative tone.

"This anchor is quite insightful."

Now is indeed the best time to dismantle the clown organization. If the police cannot apprehend him during this time, it will be thousands of times harder in the future.

Looking at the TV, Harleen explained, "He is one of the most famous anchors in the United States, with millions of followers on his social media account. His analysis and critique of current political news are always on point."

"That means a lot of people tune in to watch his show every morning."

Jason stroked his chin stubble with a smug smile on his face.

As expected, less than 10 minutes after the news was broadcasted, Jason's notoriety began to skyrocket.

Half an hour later, his notoriety had surpassed 3000 points.

[Ding! Reputation value exceeded 3000, get a chance to recruit a party! ]

[Ding! The villain's comrade 'Christine Wynyard' has been activated, and the character comes from "Detective Conan"! ]

[Warm reminder: After five seconds, the memory will be implanted for the party and the host! ]

J

ason furrowed his brow at the name Christine.

Despite his past and present life, he had no recollection of this name.

In the next instant, a virtual memory was implanted in his mind.

In his memory, Christine was a stunningly beautiful woman with long, pale blonde hair. She was the same age as Jason and a neighbor. They were considered childhood sweethearts.

Jason's father was a member of the lower tier of the gang, and Christine's father was a bad gambler who wasn't an upstanding citizen either.

Their similar family backgrounds provided the two children with a lot of common ground, and they soon embarked on the path of crime together.

They frequently teamed up to rob houses or take money from passersby.

At the age of fifteen, their robbery was exposed, and Jason was caught by the police.

To protect Christine, he took all the blame himself.

As the police couldn't get him to talk, they had no choice but to throw him into a juvenile detention center where he spent two years.

"What?" Jason was left bewildered by the memory.

Who was this version of himself?

Even if their past experiences were true, Jason's character likely would have thrown Christine under the bus to save himself.

Taking on all of the guilt voluntarily, was it just plain foolish?

When Jason was released after two years in detention, the world outside had changed.

Christine was born a beauty and became a well-known stage actor in New York. She moved out of Hell's Kitchen and rented a house on her own.

Since Jason, who had just been released from prison, had no financial resources, Christine, feeling guilty, started helping him. The two soon moved in together and began a romantic relationship.

Over the years, both kids from Hell's Kitchen excelled in their respective fields. Jason joined Kingpin's gang and became a notorious thug in New York, while Christine moved up from being a minor stage actor to becoming a major movie star.

Despite the vast difference in their social statuses, Jason and Christine remained close and their relationship grew stronger.

Most people who associate with a criminal like Jason are usually not upstanding citizens.

To gain access to more film and television resources and to sabotage her competitors, Christine often sought Jason's assistance. They would collect incriminating evidence, take compromising photos, commit assaults in the shadows, and orchestrate car accidents to prevent rivals from participating in films.

With Jason's help, Kristin's acting career flourished. She won the Best Actress Oscar at the age of twenty-four.

In return, Jason received a significant amount of clean wealth, which he used to win over his subordinates, cultivate power, and become Kingpin's right-hand man.

However, as their careers peaked, a contradiction began to emerge. Christine had become addicted to the extreme pleasure of taking control of people's lives and deaths through Jason's methods, leading to her ambition expanding beyond the entertainment industry. She became disgusted with the profession of acting, feeling that it required her to be overly cautious and wear revealing clothing even in inclement weather to please a group of leering men.

After winning her posthumous title, Christine announced an indefinite leave of absence and proposed to Jason that they kill Kingpin and take over the New York underworld together. However, Jason was too frightened by this crazy idea, leading to a big fight between the two of them. Christine ultimately decided to go it alone and established a criminal organization in Los Angeles.

Due to her love of black clothing and fine wine, the members of her organization all wear black suits or trench coats, and the top management's code names are named after various wines. Christine's own code name comes from her favorite spirit, absinthe, and is translated into English as "Belmode".

After reviewing the memories in his mind, Jason let out a helpless sigh.

It's a shame that the dog system's lack of imagination prevented him from making a great koran idol love drama.

"Honey, I'm almost done. Are we still going out?" Harley asked as she finished applying her makeup and grabbed her favorite handbag.

Jason sat down on the couch and replied, "We'll have to postpone our outing today. I might go visit an old friend."

"Wait, you have friends in LA?" Harley asked skeptically, remembering that he had previously said this was his first time in Los Angeles.

"Yes, a familiar stranger," Jason said as he skillfully dialed the person's number on his phone.

According to his implanted memories, he and the person on the other end of the line had not been in contact for over a year, but their phone numbers were engraved in their minds and could never be forgotten.

"Ugh, this lovey-dovey stuff ," Jason muttered to himself.
