Xiong En smacked his lips, "Turns out none of you are decent, huh."
Julia rubbed her temples, "Xiong En, you just said you were on our side."
"That was then, this is now. I have always been brave enough to confront my own mistakes, unlike you all, who still deny even with evidence in your face!"
For now, Julia was still able to speak a few words, "Xiong En, I emphasize once more, everyone is here to solve the problem, California's independence, and you are facing the entire federal government."
"Let me remind you," Xiong En spoke, "It's not the entire government; you no longer have Arizona."
"Alright, you're facing the remaining 48 states!"
"Who knows, maybe by then there'll be two less!"
"Enough, Xiong En!" the conservative leader said discontentedly, "Name a condition? What will it take for you to stop this madness!"
Xiong En looked at the Chairman, "You want to ask this too, right?"
The Chairman nodded.
