Chapter 146 Respected Mr. Wayne
As the agent spoke, the dozen or so ICE agents present recognized Wayne's appearance and couldn't help but gasp in surprise:
"My God, it really is Bruce Wayne!"
"Bang Jack! Is that you? God, I can't believe I'm running into Bang Jack here, among a bunch of fucking illegal immigrants?"
"Hey Wayne, I've been a fan of yours since I was a kid, wow, I never thought I'd run into you! Could you sign an autograph for me? I mean... after this is all over..."
"Since you're a 'Bang Jack,' you should understand that we're doing the right thing. We're all patriots! Get away from those dirty illegal immigrants, or they'll corrupt your soul."
"Oh my god, I'm going to call my mom later and tell her I saw Bang Jack..."
"Jack, they say you suddenly quit later, that you became a drug addict and a playboy..."
"God, what were you thinking? Giving up your bright future so easily? Like that damn Macaulay King? I just don't understand you child stars..."
The sitcom "Golden Childhood," starring Wayne, once had a huge influence throughout the United States, and its main fan base was actually mostly white boys.
That's why the ICE agents in front of them were all very excited when they saw Wayne, and even for a moment forgot the mission they were carrying, as if they had returned to their childhood days of idol worship.
Seeing Wayne instantly evoked childhood memories for them, so they naturally felt a sense of familiarity with him.
Wayne smiled slightly and addressed each of the ICE agents in turn:
"Thomas, of course, no problem. I can sign it for you right now."
"Tom, you're mistaken, my friend. In this land, no one is above another. Have you forgotten?"
"Alan, since you mentioned Macaulay King, I'm sure you also know Heather Orlock, that little angel. They took her away with a medical accident and then turned her into a pair of red shoes. I experienced something similar..."
Hollywood child star Macaulay Culkin rose to fame with "Home Alone" and earned as much as $90 million at the age of 11 in the 450s. However, he suddenly retired at the peak of his career at the age of 15, claiming that it was because his parents had a falling out over custody.
It wasn't until he made a comeback at the age of 23 that the horrifying truth was revealed in an interview.
The real reason for his retirement from the entertainment industry was that he was subjected to a perverted threat from a high-ranking executive of the entertainment company. The executive called him into his office alone, refused to let his parents accompany him, and physically assaulted him.
Macaulay King struggled desperately, insisting he was only 11 years old, but the higher-ups held him firmly, pointing to the red leather shoes on his feet and saying they were made of Heather Orlock's leather.
The executive even told him personally, "Some little angels are so beautiful that they should be chosen to be made into shoes to accompany important people."
The interview was taken down from all online platforms within 24 hours of its release, and the original videotapes disappeared, leaving only versions secretly recorded by netizens.
The ICE agents in front of them had clearly heard of this conspiracy theory circulating throughout the United States, and they couldn't help but burst into curses:
"God! These fucking blue party sons of bitches!"
"I knew it was true! Look at those damn red shoes Clinton's wearing!"
"The Red Shoe Club is real! The Clintons were the masterminds! Everyone who investigated Hillary got fucking killed, those sons of bitches!"
"Yes, they even tried to kill the president! Those bastards, that assassination attempt on the president must have been Hillary's doing, just because she lost to him!"
The group of agents, filled with righteous indignation, looked at Wayne with much gentler eyes, and the tense atmosphere became less oppressive.
"Mr. Wayne, I used to be one of your fans too, and I respect you," Captain Kevin said calmly. "But our mission has absolutely nothing to do with what you're saying. Now, don't waste that respect; get out of the way immediately!"
Kevin then said loudly:
"Tactical formation, prepare for a assault! Firing permission! Don't forget the mission the president gave you!"
Upon hearing his words, the ICE agents present immediately became serious and menacing.
An agent said to Wayne:
"I'm sorry, Wayne, this is our job. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices to protect this country."
As he spoke, Kevin raised his hand, about to force his way through the human wall.
And judging from their expressions, they were really prepared to shoot if the other party resisted!
Wayne shook his head slightly and said slowly:
"Kevin, Kevin, I thought we could be friends."
As he spoke, he raised two fingers.
ICE agent captain Kevin raised an eyebrow and said menacingly:
"Bruce Wayne, I used to like the characters you created, not you as a person. I hope you don't..."
But before he could finish speaking, he heard the teammate next to him, named Allen, gasp and say in a trembling voice:
"Captain Kevin... on your forehead... on mine?"
Kevin frowned:
"What forehead?"
He turned his head and immediately noticed that both of the vice-captains on his left and right sides had a red laser dot between their eyebrows.
That's the red dot on the laser guide of an automatic rifle!
Seeing the other person's terrified expression, Kevin naturally understood that he must have one on his forehead too!
There's a gunman hidden among these people!
"Damn it!" Kevin cursed under his breath.
He looked up at Wayne and said:
"Wayne...sir, don't be impulsive, relax, relax...do you know what you're doing? Everything you're doing is hindering our fight against illegal immigrants, a great war to make America great again!"
"Even if you have three gunmen hiding in the shadows... I can confirm they're in those tents. But we have a dozen men and a dozen guns. If a conflict really breaks out, the ICE agents will still be the ones to win in the end."
"Is it all worth betraying your country and hindering the actions of us patriots for some worthless illegal immigrants?"
Wayne shook his head slightly and said slowly:
"You're wrong, Kevin. You're facing much more than just three gunmen."
A series of gunshots rang out from all directions. The words just now seemed to be a command, and nearly half of the hundreds of people present drew guns of varying lengths and aimed them at the entire ICE team!
Wayne looked at Kevin and said:
"I think, Kevin, now we can talk calmly."
Kevin quickly said:
"Of course, esteemed Mr. Wayne!"
