...

Six hours later, the plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport.

Looking out the window, it was already getting dark.

After getting off the plane, Jason and Harley left the airport hand in hand.

To the eyes of passersby, the two were just an ordinary couple in love.

They took a taxi to the city and sat in the back seat, admiring the scenery outside the window with interest.

If New York is a handsome and serious gentleman, then Los Angeles is a passionate girl. The humanistic and artistic atmosphere here is much richer than that of New York.

"This is Los Angeles, the City of Angels. What a beautiful city."

Harley leaned against the rear window of the car, staring at the night view of Los Angeles.

Jason looked at her, smiling indulgently, then took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the driver.

"Stop the car!"

The driver took the money and slowly parked the car on the side of the road.

Harley turned around and looked at him in confusion.

Jason explained with a smile, "You like the night view of Los Angeles, so let's go downstairs and take a walk."

Harley's expression softened, and she immediately asked, "Don't you have... something important to do?"

Jason got out of the car and opened the door like a gentleman. "It won't be a problem if we delay for a day or two."

"Honey, I love you!" Harley jumped out of the car and hugged Jason, hanging her body on him like a sloth.

After lingering for a while, the two walked hand in hand on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

"Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan..."

As Harley walked, she pointed at the stars on the ground, skillfully naming their owners and their representative works.

When they arrived at the entrance of the Grand Theatre, she spent $20 on a tip and took a photo with a cosplayer dressed as Snow White.

It was clear she was a big movie fan, but sadly, her idol Avril Lavigne didn't have her name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

After walking the Avenue of Stars, Harley ran to a nearby large shopping mall and went on a shopping spree, grabbing anything she could as if it were free.

Louis Vuitton bags, Chanel dresses, Salvatore Ferragamo shoes...

Jason followed her, occasionally giving her clothing suggestions, but more often, he was just responsible for swiping the card to pay the bills.

You gotta hold on, buddy!

Jason clenched the credit card in his hand.

It wasn't until it got dark outside that Harley's shopping enthusiasm finally faded.

After leaving the delivery address and contact information, the two went out and took a taxi to the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.

...

The next morning, the first rays of California sunshine shone into the bedroom through the window, and the messy bed was empty.

The two were sitting at the dining table, eating the breakfast delivered by the hotel.

Jason spread butter on his toast and asked, "Where do you want to go today? Universal Studios? Or Santa Monica Beach?"

Harley took the bread and shook her head. "We had enough fun last night; let's get down to business today."

Seeing how considerate and sensible she was, Jason smiled and gave her a good morning kiss.

The two ate breakfast while watching the news on TV.

Over the past few days, watching the news every morning had become a habit for Jason.

"Yesterday, the New York police arrested nine Long Island prison escapees. According to the fugitives' confessions, the mastermind behind the escape was Jason Walter. And Harleen Quinzel, the prison's mental health counselor, was the biggest accomplice in this case."

Jason paused. "Hey, honey, you're on TV."

Harley's expression turned serious. "They captured nine fugitives in just two days. The New York police are so fast."

Jason ate his breakfast with a normal expression. "The New York police deployed such a large force, how could they not catch a few fugitives? This was expected."

The host continued, "Jason contacted his cronies through Harleen and had them create a bombing in New York to attract the police's attention. On the other hand, he hired more than 800 mercenaries and took the opportunity to attack the prison and rescue himself."

Harley asked in confusion, "More than 800? Shouldn't it be more than 400?"

Jason explained with a smile, "If we report the number of people truthfully, it would make the police appear incompetent."

"So that's how it is." Harley nodded in understanding.

"The latest news is that the Department of Justice has signed a wanted warrant for Harleen Quinzel, offering a reward of $8 million, and at the same time increasing Jason Walter's reward to $30 million!"

The TV news anchor continued.

"According to the confessions of the captured fugitives, Jason tried to win them over after they escaped from prison. Nearly thirty fugitives joined Jason's organization."

"Based on this information, I can boldly say that the clown pattern on the prison wall was left by Jason. On the one hand, he did this to provoke the police, and on the other hand, he announced to the world that the criminal organization 'Joker,' led by him, was officially established."

The host gave an explanation for his guess.

"If Jason wants to evade the police, the number of fugitives should be as small as possible. Gathering all these fugitives together is just asking for trouble."

"From his past criminal record, Jason is not a fool, so I infer that Jason's purpose in forming a terrorist organization is not to resist the police pursuit but to prepare for terrorist activities."

"As for whether the target of the terrorist activities is ordinary people or the government? It is still unknown at the moment, but one thing is certain: Jason is threatening national security. His level of danger is even higher than that of that adult."

"Therefore, the military and the government must intensify their search efforts and arrest Jason before he can gain a firm foothold. Otherwise, if dozens of extremely heinous fugitives gather together to launch a terrorist attack, the consequences will definitely be beyond our imagination."

Jason finished his breakfast, put down his knife and fork, and said with a slightly appreciative tone.

"This host is quite discerning."

Now is indeed the best time to destroy the Joker organization. If the police fail to catch him during this period, it will definitely be a thousand times more difficult in the future.

Harley looked at the TV and explained, "He is one of the most famous hosts in the United States, with millions of followers on his social media accounts. His analysis and criticism of current political news are always sharp and to the point."

"That is to say, there are quite a few fans who watch his show every morning."

Jason stroked the stubble on his chin, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

Sure enough, less than 10 minutes after the news was broadcast, Jason's reputation began to grow rapidly.

Half an hour later, the reputation exceeded 3,000 points.

[Ding! Your reputation value exceeds 3000, and you get a chance to recruit a comrade!]

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

[Warm Tips: In five seconds, memories will be implanted into the accomplices and the host!]

Christine?

Jason frowned.

He had no impression of this name from either past or present life.

The next moment, a virtual memory was implanted in his mind.

In his memory, Christine was a sexy beauty with long light blonde hair. She was a neighbor of Jason and the same age, so they could be considered childhood sweethearts.

Jason's father was a low-level gang member, and her father was a gambler. Neither of them were good people.

The special family background gave the two children many common topics, and they soon joined hands and embarked on a path of crime.

They often teamed up to break into homes or rob passers-by, splitting the stolen money 50-50. They were considered the male and female thieves of Hell's Kitchen.

When he was fifteen, their robbery was exposed, and Jason was arrested by the police.

In order to protect Christine, he took all the blame.

The police couldn't get him to talk, so they threw him into a juvenile detention center and detained him for two years.

"What?"

This memory in his mind made Jason confused.

'Is this me?'

Even if what happened between the two was true, given Jason's character, he would most likely have turned Christine in to protect himself.

Taking all the blame on his own initiative—are you stupid?

When Jason came out of prison after two years, the world outside had changed.

Christine grew up to be a beautiful lady and became a well-known drama actress in New York. She moved out of Hell's Kitchen and rented a house to live alone.

Because Jason, who had just been released from prison, had no source of income, the guilty Christine began to support him. The two soon lived together, and they even became intimate with each other.

In the following years, the two children from Hell's Kitchen achieved success in their respective fields.

Jason joined Kingpin's gang and became a famous thug in New York.

Christine also went from being a small drama actor to a big star on the screen.

The huge difference in social status did not sever the connection between the two, but made it closer.

Most of the people who can get along well with a big villain like Jason are not good people.

In order to obtain more film and television resources and suppress competitors, Christine often sought help from Jason, a gangster.

She collected negative information, took indecent photos, attacked competitors with clubs after dark, and caused car accidents to prevent them from starring in movies.

With Jason's help, Christine's acting career went smoothly, and at the age of 24, she won the Oscar for Best Actress.

Jason also obtained a large amount of clean wealth from her.
