Chapter 351: One step at a time

When it comes to Itely, most people can think of iconic buildings such as the Itely Science Center, the Itely Art Museum, and the headquarters of the two major automobile companies General Tefo. represent the most prosperous area of downtown Itely, and there is actually another relatively prosperous area in the southeast of the city centre, which is the new centre with George Square at its core.

Speaking of This new centre was actually formed when the white population of Itely fled the city in search of stability and safety due to rising crime rates as a result of the constant influx of blacks into the city.

At the beginning started with a real estate speculator from New York buying a large piece of land here and building some shoddy housing to rent exclusively to white people who had fled from Itely but had no other resettlement. Over time, as housing prices here were cheap, the environment and climate were very good, and it was far away from the black people who created crime, more and more white people fled here.

Later the Daewood family saw the business opportunities here and forcibly bought the area, where they built George Square. As the white people brought a lot of wealth, and the Daewood family and other large companies led the development here. The original shoddy housing was demolished and replaced with large commercial streets and residential areas. Other whites heard the news and came, so this place quickly became the new centre of Itly.

All along been known as another white paradise outside Orlando, meaning that there were very few black people here, but all that changed on 12 April.

That morning in the morning, when people came from all directions to George Square, they suddenly noticed that there were suddenly many black faces here. There were thousands of these black people, both men and women, shouting protest slogans and holding banners in their hands. They almost surround this George Square. These are the black groups that have come here to protest according to Zhou Ming's arrangements.

'Black lives matter too. We cannot let our fellow citizens die needlessly at the hands of those damned white police. We must help our fellow citizens to shout out, and we absolutely do not accept any form of discrimination!'

'I We need equal treatment! If white police officers treat us black people fairly and don't treat us like dispensable second-class citizens, cases like the police attack on Wood Street wouldn't have happened.'

The blacks were expressing their emotions to everyone passing by. They roared and raged, accusing the whole society of injustice.

Since being the next major white neighbourhood after Orlando and now also an important business district, the police in Ethel were immediately mobilised. Within just half an hour, more than 1,000 police officers had gathered in George Square, completing the encirclement and confrontation with the black demonstrators.

Facing the heavily armed police, the black demonstrators were not afraid. They approached the police and shouted, 'You federal lackeys, we have normal demands and rights. We want a fair world without racial discrimination! we blacks have to walk on the street with fear, at any time facing the danger of being shot by white police! George Square, a luxury car is parked here, and Zhou Ming and Mayor Martin are sitting in the car. Zhou Ming observes the situation in the square and then says to Martin, 'Judging from today's pedestrian flow, the has caused the flow of people in the square to decrease by more than 80%. This is more than enough. Even if it is only for one day, I am afraid that the Daewood family may not be able to hold on. After all, their current financial situation is not particularly good, and they need cash flow.'

Zhou Ming turned to Martin and said, 'So next, I think they're going to hate you a lot and probably try to take you down from the mayor's throne. You should be prepared.'

'I already knew that,' said Martin. 'Mr. Zhou Ming, since I have decided to join forces with you, I am also prepared to accept the revenge of the Daewood family. But I just hope that we can really kill this Daewood family.'

Zhou Ming patted Martin on the shoulder and said to him, 'Since the mayor trusts me so much, I don't think I'll let him down. I've already got my next plan ready, and they won't stand a chance.'

George The square was named George, and in fact it was named after George, the head of the Daewood family. So when a demonstration by black people broke out here, the news naturally reached Daewood Manor first.

'What? Those niggers actually went to George Square to demonstrate?'

Hearing Wood was very surprised to hear this news, because in his impression, George Square, which was built by his father, was located far away from the city centre, so normally not many blacks would come here, let alone protest. So why was it like this today? Wood also quickly figured out the reason: 'It must have been that scumbag Zhou Ming's idea. He knew that George Square was our property, so he let those niggers go there to protest!'

George was sitting in his chair, constantly going through the documents in his hands, and said, 'According to statistics from the Department of Statistics, the losses due to the demonstrations in the square today will reach 5 million US dollars.'

'Father Father, I thought it was just the square itself. If you include the impact on the businesses, it will be even greater,' Wood said. "So I think we must not let those guys be so reckless in George Square!'

George looked at Wood and asked, "My child, so what do you think we should do now?'

'This is simple. The mayor, Martin, and those black groups are behind these actions, so we just need to keep pressuring Martin to sever his ties with Zhou Ming. Then Zhou Ming alone, I don't believe he can make any waves in Etley?' Wood said with confidence.

After hearing Wood's method, George shook his head unsatisfactorily, which made Wood feel a little surprised. Does his father still not intend to take action?

George read Wood's thoughts and said to him, 'Actually, I'm not questioning your decision. After all, we, the Wood family, being the largest family in Etrile, will not recklessly pick fights with ordinary people. but that doesn't mean we won't take offence at any provocation. Sometimes provocation needs to be met with a strong response, but how to respond is what we need to consider.'

George thought for a moment and then said, 'My boy, I don't know if you still remember the stories I used to tell you when you were little about the story of our family, the Wood family.'

'Father, of course I remember. When I was little, you told me that our family used to be shepherds on the grasslands and started out selling wool and lambs,' stuttered, completely unable to understand why his father was saying this at this time.

George nodded and continued where Wood had left off: 'Yes, shepherds on the grasslands, but you know, the grasslands are usually full of danger. If you're not careful, wolves or wild foxes will appear and carry off or kill our sheep? So what do you think our ancestors did when they encountered wolves or foxes that didn't mean our sheep any harm? Did they try to scare them away, or did they just take out their shotguns and shoot them dead?'

'Of course they shoot it dead, because that is the only way to get rid of the danger once and for all,' Wood replied, and the answer also made him react. He then said, 'Father, I understand. You mean to kill that Martin guy once and for all, right? We can cause him a car accident, or maybe a fire?'

George shook his head: 'As a nobleman, this method is too violent. In fact, we just need to remove Mr. Martin from the position of mayor and let everyone understand that's all it takes. This is why the Wood family is the authority in Etrile, and no one can provoke us. Even if the mayor doesn't listen, we can remove him at any time.'

Wood thought and then asked tentatively, 'So, Father, what if we let the media know about Mr Martin's collusion with the black community and connivance with black people taking to the streets to demonstrate and protest, in order to achieve his ulterior political motives, and then let him withstand the pressure of public opinion, either resign and get out of here, or wait to be impeached by Parliament. What do you think?'

'My child, it doesn't matter what the method is, as long as you think it will work. You must know that you are a Wood, born to look down on others. We can achieve anything if we believe in our methods and use the power of the family. Do you understand what I mean?' George said.

Wood suddenly understood and nodded: 'I understand, Father. I know what to do.'

George smiled contentedly: 'Then go ahead, my boy. Go ahead and try anything you want. In Etly and the entire state of Genmi, our family will have no rivals. They are just your troubles in maturing. Now, you just have to go and solve them. Don't be afraid of failure, because here, you can't fail.'

'If that's the case I think I can do better than that, Father!'

Wood then left the room with George's instilled confidence, and he then sent someone to check Martin's connections with the black groups. After obtaining conclusive evidence, he immediately called the family's lawyer.

'I need to sue Mayor Martin for colluding with the black community to stage the march for his own ulterior political motives. I want him to apologise publicly on television to all the voters of Itely, and I want him to be disgraced!' Wood said.

The lawyer is worthy of being the Wood's family lawyer, and as soon as he heard Wood's words, he immediately understood Wood's thinking.

So the lawyer told Wood, 'That's fine, we can start this lawsuit at any time, but to ensure that it achieves the effect you want, my suggestion is to sue the city government together. If the city government pays for this lawsuit, we we can say that this term of the city government is spending taxpayers' money to pay for its own innocence. How can such a government ensure its integrity and efficiency?'

This method made Wood's eyes light up: 'Yes, you are worthy of being the family lawyer, and your method is really the best! Then let's do it your way!'

So the next morning, the Wood family's legal team went to court to file a lawsuit on Wood's behalf. Wood also held a grand press conference, at which he said he would seek justice for all the voters of Etly!
