Chapter 164 - Chapter 167

It's regrettable to say that William White's grand party has stirred controversy. I'm unsure how to capture the attention of animal rights advocates, given his penchant for lobster, which has faced numerous accusations.

William White has consistently argued that the lobsters are not alive, having been drowned. He contends that what one sees is merely an illusion—a kind of culinary magic.

In response to the audacity of this assertion, a group of activists, dubbed "The Virgins," grew indignant and planned to confront him.

Given the problematic nature of dining on drowned lobsters, the only plausible explanation is that he is, in fact, consuming a hot dog—with a peculiar twist.

"Old Joe, did you know that, according to those guys' logic, even eating hot dogs is inappropriate? Imagine how adorable you are; how can you eat that?"

A group of girls burst into laughter, finding the remark amusing.

"Seriously, when you visit the States, they not only consume hot dogs, but they also eat them cold."

"Seriously?"

"Trust me, it's their culture. These advocates spend all day with shrimp; they don't care about highly intelligent animals. I believe mammals should be distinguished from other creatures. Sea urchins, oysters, lobsters—these are just simple life forms. If we get technical, lettuce is alive too. Do we need to drown it before consumption?"

Even the revered Great God Qiao was momentarily stunned, but upon reflection, the argument seemed somewhat reasonable.

William White, known for avoiding arguments, presents a formidable challenge if anyone dares to intrude into his residence—thanks to the Castle Law in the United States, where intrusion may lead to fatal consequences.

Assuming the lobster-naming tradition is accurate, he might, in a pang of conscience, pardon the lobster.

This seems plausible; the rest is to be dismissed, and one should focus on indulging in food and drink.

The general public has grown accustomed to William White's eccentricities. The drowning of lobsters seems a minor concern compared to his overall demeanor.

Most people perceive the activists as idle troublemakers. If these creatures aren't allowed to be killed alive, wouldn't they just become a feast?

Animal rights activists express their discontent, but unfortunately, many people agree with William White's assertion that mammals are distinct. It's not easy for everyone to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle.

Regarding the drowning of vegetables, the humor is evident.

Don't dismiss the author as nonsensical; foreign slaughterhouses, surprisingly, lack knives. Instead, animals are dispatched via electric chairs—a testament to Edison's widely used invention.

The shortage of food leads to a collective focus on acquiring a turkey.

While some view it as cruel, the group initiates a Christmas turkey giveaway for charity. They challenge critics to approach struggling families to see if anyone rejects this so-called cruel food.

This strategic move infuriates animal rights activists, who risk losing public support if they persist in their opposition.

Attempting to judge others from a moral high ground is futile. The group claims to not only solve employment issues but also provide benefits to needy families, all orchestrated by a church organization—free from any political affiliations.

Many believe that allowing this product to persist won't harm too many lobsters. Contributions to society make the activists' objections seem baseless.

William White, based in Hollywood, is likely to address these activists in future encounters. Unless animals are entirely absent from his movies, conflicts will undoubtedly arise.

The absurdity extends to controlling maggots. Xiao Shengke's salvation bridge, designed for feeding birds, employs steamed maggots.

This practice, although seemingly contradictory, uses maggots extensively to train birds—a peculiar example among many similar instances. Post-movie subtitles often declare that no animals were harmed during filming, showcasing the activists' hypocrisy.

William White dismisses them as paranoid, emphasizing their lack of general awareness. Their actions appear irrational.

Could they target White Pictures? William White remains unfazed, asserting that standards apply universally. Deliberate provocations demand concrete evidence; otherwise, repercussions loom.

In Laomei, these institutions share a common trait—they are non-profit organizations. Their influence lies in industry self-discipline, not legal enforcement. Intentional mischief-making is discouraged, as people won't engage if it's not genuine.

William White's disregard for temperance is evident. Unreviewed publications in Laomei rely on self-discipline.

Random writing is discouraged. Stan Lee's example illustrates the consequences: comics won't be sold at kiosks, but plenty of stores on the streets offer alternatives.

Despite his lack of temperance, William White knows the importance of adhering to standards. Unapproved comics could inadvertently influence readers negatively.

Passing an audit shifts the challenge to the auditing department. Although some responsibilities may arise, they are typically easier to resolve.

"Boss, what's on the menu today?"

"Lobster and a dozen oysters."

"Alright, boss."

The assistant departs with a smile, finding the boss's behavior endearing. Despite the live fish and shrimp in the foot basin, the boss's charm shines through.

William White, considered an eccentric, purposefully stirs controversy—a behavior at odds with his age.

This frequent provocateur status confuses opponents, creating hesitation. Unfazed by unequal standing, William White consistently triumphs in verbal sparring.

"Boss, the oysters today are exceptional. You should indulge."

"Are you hungry again?" William White teases.

"Yes, you caught me."

A playful exchange follows, showcasing the boss's endearing quirks.
