Chapter 421: Chapter 249 Christmas Eve, Warmth (Additional May Monthly Ticket 2)
Christmas had saved Thirteen.
Everyone became busy.
Brian also temporarily had no time to manage the research institute.
He directly called there to declare a holiday, planning to visit later and see how to arrange the institute and those sealed projects.
This Christmas, Brian spent it quite alone.
In previous years, there were the Kamor family and his foster parents.
This year, some passed away, others ran away.
Susan was accompanying Linda at the NW headquarters.
All the team members were on duty, busy dealing with yesterday’s cases and new cases.
The group that had just received Enhancement was brimming with energy, in the healthy stage of adjustment.
Old Hardenn, that cunning man, was actively engrossed along with a group of friends in the development and small-game development on the online game platform Brian had managed before.
That was the ’Thirteen Online Game Company’, which Brian had managed when he was short of money.
The game development cycle usually wouldn’t be short, combined with Brian’s unusual demands and everyone’s lack of experience and a fixed team.
All these demanded time for exploration.
For Brian, this company was just a trial and arrangement.
But life is unpredictable.
Just a few days ago he was still struggling with not having money, now his account was lying around with nine-digit cash, he could retire on the interest alone.
Of course, he still needed to spend this money quickly, otherwise taxes would cause Brian headaches.
Unfortunately, the identity of an NW staff didn’t exempt him from taxes.
Moreover, Brian didn’t abandon the construction of the game company.
This business was indeed quick money, if managed well, it could be a continuous cash cow.
The operating cost of the online game carrier company wasn’t high, marketing in this era of scarce online games and loopholes in legislation, many viral promotion tactics could be used.
It was really hard not to succeed.
In the future, needing a lot of money, Brian, aiming to build a biological research company, naturally wouldn’t pass up this money-making model.
Slow is just slow.
He plans to spend a portion to hire someone to operate the Thirteen Game Company, which lacked even a framework, and invest the rest into the research institute.
..
Everyone was busy.
Brian felt embarrassed to slack off.
After a video call with Susan, he donned casual clothes, brought Shi San, who wore a police vest, started riding a motorcycle on the streets, wandering idly.
In his previous life, Brian greatly enjoyed a movie called "Home Alone."
At the time, that movie gave him a grand illusion of foreign holidays as a child.
However, after coming here, he realized that the kind of Christmas Eve with twinkling lights, warm orange light indoors, a family praying at the dining table, and snow fluttering outside, actually happened in New York.
As for Los Angeles...it rarely snowed here.
So Brian always felt that the Christmas here lacked the atmosphere he remembered.
Walking the streets already let him feel that festive atmosphere.
Here, many companies started their holidays early with consecutive days off.
Some communities had already hung various colorful lights, and even some wealthier communities had stage activities and performances.
Downtown, one could even see many festive signs and staff dressed as Santa Claus, greeting customers and children.
The more eye-catching, however, were the sexy Santa girls and the girls dressed as sexy reindeer.
They were really hot.
The festive joy diluted the tense social atmosphere caused by escalating violence and death cases in Los Angeles since September.
Humans are very adaptable creatures.
Initially, everyone would be very nervous, but after a few months, seeing more reports of death cases or even more frequent gunfights nearby, they would start to adapt and even think it was normal.
Just like that, a man and a dog came to a square.
..
Brian parked his bike.
He purposefully hung a LAPD badge with magnetic suction on it to send a clear message to those with ulterior motives: This is a cop’s bike, don’t trouble yourself.
Although those patrol officers acted more like subordinates in front of NW officials like Brian, in truth, the authority of law enforcement in any state’s police department was extremely substantial for ordinary people.
The reason was the legal right to use deadly force.
This right was jokingly referred to as the Federation police’s legal right to kill.
If you don’t understand, here’s an example:
You’re patrolling and suspect someone is acting stealthily, so you identify yourself and ask him to comply with an inquiry.
That seems fine, right?
Big problem.
When the police identify themselves, regardless of whether the person heard clearly or had reacted, the police at that moment already possess the legal rights to use deadly force.
Meaning,
At that moment, they could legally set you up and shoot you dead.
After all, without any law enforcement recorders, whether the ’victim’ was a ’threat’ was entirely up to their words.
If you are skilled in talking, even if the person was just reaching into his pocket for a tissue, you could claim you suspected he was pulling out a gun, and you fired to ensure your safety, filling his body with bullets.
Experienced officers clearly know what to do to pass the safety office’s investigation process and rulings after killing someone, meanwhile receiving paid administrative leave.
This also caused, unless someone was drugged out of their senses, nobody would intentionally provoke the Federation police.
