Chapter 2682 Determination

Tommy was running on the street. Gene was not far away in the crowd. Tommy stumbled through the crowd. Gene was not far away. At this time, Gene turned around and smiled.

There were more black flame patterns on Gene's face than before, almost covering his entire face, but that was Gene. Tommy rushed over quickly. After seeing Gene enter an alley, Tommy ran in.

However, there was nothing in the alley. Tommy walked into the dark alley. Suddenly, several people came out around him. A bag was put on Tommy. Tommy was immediately punched and kicked. Then a cold knife was pressed against Tommy's neck.

"Do you have a small money device?"

Tommy nodded and took it out of his pocket. Someone quickly took away the money device. Tommy was punched and kicked by someone, and then several people laughed and left.

Tommy felt his head was broken. These people not only robbed him, but also beat him up. Tommy struggled to get up and took off the smelly bag on his head. He retched several times and breathed heavily.

Tommy pressed his wet forehead, which had been broken open. He sat up straight with a gasp. He almost forgot that there were many robbers in this area.

Tommy panted and took out a cigarette from his pocket. He had quit smoking for a long time. Because Gene liked to smoke, he would buy a pack to keep with him. At this time, Tommy took out a cigarette and lit it. He trembled and lit it. The moment the flame lit up, Tommy felt comfortable.

Looking at the lighter in his hand and the cigarette at his mouth, he took a big puff. Suddenly, Tommy coughed violently and gasped. Tears fell from his eyes. His head was dizzy, but the pain in his body was relieved a little.

Tommy was still smoking silently in the alley. At this time, someone outside the alley noticed Tommy and several gang members walked in.

"What happened to Senator Tommy?"

Tommy smiled.

"I was robbed."

Soon after, the boss in charge of this area, Halls, came over. He saw Tommy was covered in wounds, and several doctors treated his wounds.

"Damn it, who are those bastards? Find them immediately. I want to know who dared to rob a state senator within an hour."

Tommy stood up, and Halls was very scared, because he was afraid that if Gene came back and Tommy told about this, he would be finished.

"Just find them, don't do it, I want to ask them something."

Tommy returned to the street, to a coffee shop, he pressed his forehead uncomfortably, everything now reminded Tommy of some things in the past.

A long time ago, Tommy was born in a relatively poor place, but it was much better than here.

When he was a child, Tommy looked forward to some things, especially the unique product of the United States, superheroes.

In many film and television works, comic novels and animations, those superheroes who can do everything in heaven and earth can always rescue the people when they are in danger, and always punish those evil forces.

Tommy likes superheroes very much. He grew up surrounded by a lot of superhero works. Tommy firmly believes that he can become a superhero when he grows up.

Tommy's family is very poor and lives in a truck box in the suburbs. Tommy doesn't know who his father is. He only knows that he met his father after leaving home at the age of 18, and his mother gave birth to Tommy at the age of 21.

Tommy's mother is very strong. Although it is extremely difficult for a woman without education and skills to raise a child alone, his mother works 4 minutes a day to let Tommy grow up healthily and happily.

His mother is very strict with Tommy. Even if she is very busy every day, she will accompany Tommy to learn some new knowledge and talk to Tommy about many social things in the little rest time after coming back.

Under the strict discipline of his mother, Tommy began to become more and more self-disciplined and no longer mixed with some friends who skipped school and played all day in the neighborhood.

However, one day, the PLC people came to tell Tommy that his mother had an accident. After Tommy went over, he only saw his mother's cold body and scars all over her body.

Tommy was only 14 years old at that time. He also vaguely knew what kind of work his mother relied on to support him. After Tommy lost his mother, he lived alone. Fortunately, Tommy did not forget his mother's teachings.

Tommy began to hate poverty more and more, especially the people around him. They were actually like many people. They were not not working hard, but because there was no place to work hard and no direction worth their efforts.

Tommy was recommended to a good school because of his excellent academic performance and was a role model in their neighborhood. Tommy completely eliminated entertainment and absorbed all kinds of knowledge seriously and crazily. His life soon ushered in the dawn.

At that time, Tommy's superhero dream in his heart was awakened by reading. He knew very well where he was going. As long as he climbed to a very high place, he could change everything.

Tommy successfully entered the first university in the United States. His grades were still excellent and he still stood out from the crowd. After graduation, Tommy soon got a very good job and met many people along the way.

The painful experiences in his childhood made Tommy very good at packaging himself. He knew that if he wanted to get close to people of a certain class, he had to get closer to them and show his abilities in a subtle way, so that he could gain more people's favor.

Because his mother had said this to Tommy, Tommy gradually integrated into the upper class society quickly. He met many elites. These people were all excellent, but the excellence was limited to their family background. Their abilities were in Tommy's opinion. They actually look no different from ordinary people.

The more Tommy came into contact with these people, the farther away his dream became. Eventually, Tommy returned to his home state of CA and easily became the youngest congressman in history.

Tommy was deeply trusted because he was well-known among the elite and Tommy was indeed capable of doing things. Tommy was quickly promoted and more and more people surrounded Tommy.

Until one day, a development project fell into Tommy's hands. One day a businessman opened the office door. Tommy knew exactly what this businessman came for.

After a short conversation, the businessman directly took out 1 million D and promised to give Tommy additional campaign funds every year after the project was completed. Tommy hesitated at the time, but the businessman obviously had other channels, and he asked Tang Think about it.

It wasn't that Tommy didn't want to agree to the businessman's conditions, but the heroic dream in his heart kept resurfacing, making him waver. What he was doing now was against his dream.

Tommy struggled in pain for many days. At this time, another businessman came over. They offered a higher price of 2 million D, which Tommy could not refuse. Tommy nodded and signed.

The businessmen who came at the beginning also appeared. They were in the same group. Tommy was glad that his heroic dream calmed him down, otherwise he would have lost 1 million D.

Tommy also knew very well that one of his feet had been stuck in the mud. Tommy was surrounded by people like this, and Tommy also began to use his talents. After this time, Tommy began to pass all kinds of things more smoothly. Various proposals to make money.

Soon Tommy became the second-largest congressman in CA state, but Tommy did not argue with Diego because Tommy knew very well that the future belonged to him, and now it belongs to Diego.

Diego is 15 years older than Tommy, so Tommy is not in a hurry. Soon the governorship of CA will be Tommy's, and Tommy just needs to continue as usual.

However, just a while ago, Diego talked to Tommy, hoping that Tommy would succeed him as governor and then participate in the upcoming presidential election.

When Tommy heard it at first, he felt ecstatic, but soon Tommy woke up from such a sweet dream. The situation in CA state made it impossible to run for president.

The reason why Diego did this was because he didn't want to be the scapegoat and wanted Tommy to be the scapegoat. Tommy decisively refused, citing the time was not ripe and his lack of ability as reasons.

But Diego didn't want to give up such an opportunity. He would talk to Tommy every now and then and let Tommy succeed as governor. However, Tommy was not a fool. He knew very well that once he became the governor of CA, many bombs planted in front of CA would explode. In the end, the problem is to bear it on your own. In the end, your career will end, and Diego has already earned enough.

Tommy has been trying his best to reject Diego recently, but he still hasn't spoken directly, but the appearance of Gene gives Tommy a reason to refuse, because the current situation requires Tommy to clean up the mess.

Now that Tommy was completely awake, he felt that everything was just business. Tommy stopped thinking about it, but now Tommy had other ideas.

At this time, there was a noise outside the store. Tommy looked over and Halls got up and went over.

"Damn it, you even dare to rob the state assemblyman, you are really looking for death."

Halls picked up the knife, pulled a young man directly, and cut off his ear. Suddenly several other people panicked, and Tommy stood up to stop him.

"No need to do this, just answer some questions for me."

Tommy looked at several drunken young people who had completely sobered up. The money container was taken back. Tommy still remembered that there were more than 1,100 D, but now there was only more than 500 D left.

"When you robbed me, why did you beat me?"

Hols was furious, and the men around him came over, planning to make several young people disappear forever. Hols looked at the young people without speaking, and then directly picked up the young people who had their ears cut off and were still wailing.

"Speak, what about you, Mr. Tommy? If you don't want to say anything, bring me over immediately."

A young man spoke.

"Because we drank too much and we just wanted to let off steam."

Tommy laughed, what a ridiculous reason, he didn't want to pursue the reason behind it, and then Tommy asked.

"I've already taken out the money and you still broke my head. Why? Don't you know it could kill me?"

The young people cried and begged for mercy. Hols' eyes signaled that several young people were pulled to the street.

"Whoever dares to do such a thing again will end up like this."

The screams started and Tommy closed his eyes. This approach could only last for a while. At this time, Halls walked in with a smile. Tommy felt something, he smiled.

"By the way, are you interested in investing?"

Halls was stunned and nodded immediately.

"I want to run for president."

Halls was stunned for a moment, and Tommy said after taking a sip of wine.

"If you support me, once I succeed, you will no longer need to live in this ghost place. You go and tell everyone, and I will go back."

Tommy has decided that he must seize this opportunity. Although his chances of winning are low, Halls is sure that there will be many people who want to participate in this transaction.

The big companies in CA and the capital inside all want someone who can speak for them in front of the stage. They have been suppressed too much in recent years.

Tommy went back to the edge of the block, and then drove the flying car directly to his home. Tommy contacted Digo directly.

"I want to participate in the presidential election."

"Really?"

Digo's voice was full of shock, and Tommy laughed.

"What's wrong, haven't you always wanted to push me up? I have thought it through now. I'm going home now, wait for me at my home."

Tommy ended the call, and his mind was filled with the words that Gene said before he left, as well as the strange dream, the woman named Le Xiao, and the spaceship with the words "Brilliant City" written on it. Tommy still had a trace of the heroic dream of the past in his heart.

Tommy knew very well where he had to climb to realize his dream. Only by taking the presidency could Tommy realize his dream.

Although the election now seems to have become a foregone conclusion, Tommy wants to participate in this gamble. This may be his only chance in his life.

Now Tommy is completely sober. If he doesn't agree to Digo, the person who takes the blame may be someone else, and Tommy will not be reused, because Digo still holds most of the power, and Digo will help Tommy as much as possible in this election.

Now Tommy thinks more about this kind of slums. As long as they are a member of the United States, they have votes. Their votes are monopolized in every election, but if these gang members in the slums support Tommy, he can get enough votes.

"This is the only way to do it now. If I don't do this, let alone realize my dream, even my future will be ruined."

Soon Tommy returned to the villa area. After he stopped the car, Digo was already waiting at the door. Tommy opened the door and Digo came in happily and hugged Tommy.

"You finally figured it out, Tommy. With such a good opportunity and your ability, you will definitely get more votes than me. We will all support you."

Tommy nodded as he looked at Digo's cruel fake smile.

"Of course, I will work hard to change the future and turn everything around!"
