America: Starting with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 25 - Stable Personality

```

The next day.

Allen Zhang was woken up by the sound of the "Daily Intelligence Brief" again, accompanied by Olivia's calling voice.

"Sir, it's time for you to leave."

Allen regained his consciousness and looked at Olivia who had changed into casual clothes and was smiling at him. He glanced around and noticed that Catherine was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Catherine?" he asked.

"Ms. Jon has already gone to work. Before she left, she asked me to give you a message."

Olivia said, "She mentioned that she had a great time last night, and she asked me to prepare breakfast for you, and left an envelope with $200 compensation. Take the money, enjoy your breakfast, and then you can leave as if nothing has ever happened. We can get in touch in the future if it's meant to be."

"Ok."

Allen nodded his head without any reluctancy to leave the comfort of the bed. However, he felt a bit puzzled and asked Olivia, "Are you sure it's only $200?"

Olivia's gaze flickered as she looked at him, her smile slight: "Of course not, Ms. Jon was initially planning to give you $2,000 as compensation, but I persuaded her against it."

"Why? Why did you do that?" Allen was puzzled.

"Ms. Jon is my employer, what's wrong with looking out for her interests?", Olivia said, "The $200 is simply a thank you for returning the wallet, which is already quite enough. This isn't a service fee, it was your idea. You said not to insult your noble soul with money, and that you stayed over just as a one-off friend, not a waiter from some club."

"Did I say that?!"

Allen was incredulous, feeling like he was losing his mind.

He must have been talking nonsense last night in his excitement.

"You really are a qualified property manager." Allen was somewhat speechless and turned to take a shower in the bathroom.

After coming out wrapped in a towel, Olivia couldn't take her eyes off him. Allen keenly sensed her thoughts.

He chuckled and said, "What's going on, is there something else you need to do, Miss Olivia? Or do you think there's some service you haven't yet completed?"

"It's 8:26 am now; my shift is over."

Olivia shifted her gaze away from his evidently masculine presence, took a deep breath, and composed herself before saying, "The only reason I'm still here is to escort you out of the Corona Crown District, so you won't get stopped and questioned by the police as a stranger and a burglar on your way out, causing unnecessary trouble that would bother me. My boyfriend is coming to pick me up in a bit."

"Alright, what a pity. It seems the good times ended yesterday." Allen said with some regret and reminiscence.

Although Catherine was peculiar, Olivia was quite to his liking.

It's probably for the best, after all, he wasn't too keen on continuing anything with someone who has a boyfriend; that would be immoral.

An occasional lapse in morality one or two times is okay, but any more than that would indeed be truly immoral.

"Yes," Olivia replied.

Allen got dressed in front of her, then went to the living room and found a sumptuous breakfast ready: bacon and eggs, cheese sandwich.

He comfortably and justifiably savored the meal.

He took out his phone and glanced at his social media messages.

Simone: You didn't come back yesterday? Well, that's a pity, I was thinking of asking you out.

Rena: Good morning. I was being irrational last night, I'm sorry for losing my temper, I hope you don't mind.

Allen immediately replied to her: No worries, I didn't take it to heart.

Within three seconds, Rena responded: That's good!

:)

With a smiley face.

Foreigners are so easy to appease.

I was the one who irritated her yesterday, yet she took the initiative to apologize today.

In my home country's T0 level, getting her to apologize of her own accord? Dream on!

He liked making friends with people who had stable personalities.

Allen then replied to Simone: I am trying to make money.

Simone: How much did you earn?

Allen: I made a total of $600 in profit yesterday!

Simone: WTF!? How did you do it! Allen!!

Allen bit into the sandwich, feeling satisfied from the shock conveyed by the black girl, and he contentedly set his phone aside.

```

The phone was buzzing nonstop with messages from Simone.

Simone: How did you make so much money?

Simone: Answer me quickly~

Simone: Please! Alun!!

"Your friend?" Olivia walked out holding the sheets, glancing at the vibrating phone.

"Yep."

"Girlfriend?"

"That's none of your business," Allen Zhang replied, somewhat surprised.

"Indeed, just curious," Olivia said emotionlessly as she walked into the bathroom with the sheets.

Allen Zhang was fed up with the barrage of messages from the Black sister as well, so he replied honestly: I slept with a very rich woman, and she gave me a hefty bonus.

Simone went silent immediately.

Simone: Fxxk! You're disgusting! Selling your soul for some money, tsk!

He immediately lost the desire to continue the conversation.

Allen Zhang couldn't help but laugh wryly, and he opened the Daily Intel.

[Daily Intel: At 96 Eito Street, a red garbage bin contains an uneaten burger, 7 fresh flowers, and an unopened bottle of Pinot Noir.]

Great, another day of scavenging through trash.

[Daily Intel: Homeless Stephen returned to the sewer outlet at 4 Kajin Street only to find his treasured possessions stolen. Enraged, he started asking around for information, and, through word of mouth among friends, quickly found his way to the pawnshop you visited yesterday. Mistaken for a robber, the pawnshop owner shot him six times, killing him on the spot!]

Well, Free America, gunfights every day. This brother cashed out so quickly?

Allen Zhang couldn't comprehend but was utterly shocked.

[Daily Intel: Several Black homeless men will attempt a Zero-Dollar Purchase at a discount store on 104 Eito Street. Homeless Sieg Comprey will get injured trying to stop the clash, and the robbers involved in the Zero-Dollar Purchase will be arrested by police officers for robbery and assault.]

[Details: The planners behind this Zero-Dollar Purchase incident are Black people Mosley Ann, George, Atlant, and Jon—click and hold the name to display a biography and personal information. Those trying to resolve the case are Sieg Comprey, White police officer Mig from the Southern Branch, Officer Gauss, and Officer Helen.]

[Details: Sieg Comprey, formerly a Captain in the Marine Corps and awarded the Military Honor Medal, was listed as deceased in a failed operation and became stateless, homeless. He was directly involved in the street fight and death incident on Alley 27, being one of the concerned parties.]

[Details: Officer Mig, a graduate of the California Police Training Academy, was recruited by the Southern Branch due to his good qualities and has been on the job for three years, with a career record of: 4 administrative leaves, 6 shot and wounded Black suspects or criminals...]

Keywords, Black people, freshly released from prison, White police officer, 4 administrative leaves in his career.

Wow! Old Black really stepped on a landmine this time, huh?

Listed as deceased, ex-military?

Well, Allen Zhang is not at all surprised by this, after all, even congressmen can end up on the streets – a soldier isn't much of a novelty.

No wonder the other party accidentally killed a homeless man.

"Are you done eating? My boyfriend is already waiting outside in the Crown District."

Olivia tidied up the room and came out to hurry him.

"Of course." Allen Zhang quickly finished breakfast, changed into his own shoes at the entrance, and grabbed his gear.

Olivia placed the dishes in the automatic dishwasher, triple-checked for anything left behind, and then also closed the door and left the villa.

"Can you ride a hoverboard?" Olivia took out a black two-seater dual-wheel transporter from Airwheel brand, standard issue by the community property management.

Allen Zhang wanted to say he could, but he shook his head instead, "Never tried it."

"Get on, I'll take you," Olivia beckoned, and Allen Zhang stepped onto the hoverboard, holding onto her waist and shoulders, and they both started the hoverboard.

It felt no different from an electric scooter.

It's clunky and inconvenient to drive on the uneven roadside.

Anyway, Allen Zhang would never buy one of these gadgets - just a pure IQ tax.

Upon learning that this latest Airwheel two-seater dual-wheel model, powered by a new ion battery with a max range of over 28km, is priced on Amazon at a base price of 14,600 US dollars, with yearly maintenance and repair costs averaging 3,600 dollars, and a custom luxury edition with road usage and satellite positioning cruise control with a one-touch alarm setup fee costing 8,800 dollars.

A single hoverboard would easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. This was only provided to facilitate the property staff's commutes through the community.

It just shows the rich in the West Coast Rich District really are extravagant - they don't buy the best, only the most expensive.

You're just going back and forth in your own community and you need satellite positioning and autopilot?

With a guard every three steps, a sentinel every ten, and everything must come with a one-touch alarm – how scared of dying can you be?

Using a cannon to kill a mosquito.
