“Well… it’s a game where you can amass a lot of money, property and power,” Jack replied. That seemed innocuous enough.

“Doing what?” his father asked coming around look at the screen. “Mob Wars?” Then he read what was on the screen. Magnifico! Successfully completed the liquor smuggling. You used 18 energy and gained $54,119 and 22 experience points. You used 20 Bottles of Liquor.

“Liquor smuggling?”

“Well uh…”

“Drug smuggling?!”

“At least they don’t have prostitution,” Jack said helpfully.
