8 a.m. the next day.
The North American officials sent a special car to pick up Xu Lin.
Tilin accompanied him.
A little after eight, Xu Lin arrived at his destination.
This meeting was not a formal one; it was held in an estate in Los Angeles.
"This estate is owned by a prominent Jewish figure, so you'll encounter Jews."
Tilin reminded him.
Xu Lin acknowledged but didn't think much of it.
Just like during the late Ming Dynasty, when the Emperor had to ally with eunuchs and officials from other places to combat the Jiangnan gentry, who had grown immensely powerful. The Emperor couldn't exert his will, and his authority was almost entirely undermined, until the Qing Dynasty came and physically eradicated the overgrown Jiangnan gentry, forcing them to remain obedient during the Qing period.
In North America, while it might not be like the online claims that the Jews have overwhelming control, they certainly hold significant sway.
