The old man didn't mention his decision to return to the metropolis. He always did this, rarely interfering with his grandson's decisions, whether it was dropping out of school, forming a gang of young masters, eliminating dissidents, and so on. As long as Xu Fu thought it was necessary, he wouldn't object.

Having such a grandfather is Xu Fu's greatest fortune since his transmigration; without him, he wouldn't be who he is today.

After dinner, Xu Fu went into Linda's room, opened the door and said...

"Ms. Danvers, we need to talk."

The girl replied indifferently, "There's nothing to say!"

Xu Fu pulled up a chair in front of her and said with a serious expression.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Linda paused for a moment, "What are you asking?"

Xu Fu sighed: "Don't you think your situation is terrible!"

"what's up?"

Of course there are.

Xu Fu sat up straight: "Count how many days you haven't left the house? How many days you haven't gone shopping? How many days you've only worn sportswear? How many days you haven't spoken to anyone outside the manor? Besides practicing martial arts every day, what else have you done?"

"You've completely shut yourself off from the world, and you're not going to help."

Linda frowned unhappily.

"What on earth are you going to say?"

Xu Fu stared at her without moving: "Are we friends?"

"Almost none!"

"Since you are my friend, I must warn you, 'If things continue like this, your future will be bleak.'"

“I know the demise of Krypton has hit you hard, but you should wake up: whether you admit it or not, Krypton no longer exists, and you are destined to live on Earth in the future. Since that’s the case, why don’t you try to integrate into the lives of Earthlings?”

The girl raised her head and said angrily, "I don't want to be an Earthling!"

"Then what do you want to do?"

Kryptonians

"Okay, Miss Kryptonian, what are your plans for the future?"

“I…”

Linda Paz looked bewildered, a sudden look of confusion appearing in her eyes, clearly indicating that she had no plans for the future.

Xu Fu shrugged.

"Excuse my bluntness, but your deceased parents would be very disappointed to see you like this. I see no passion in you; you are like an old man on the verge of death."

"Linda, you need to leave your current living environment and at least find a job and engage in some basic social activities."

The girl slowly raised her head, her expression revealing undisguised strangeness and...

"You want me to work for you?"

Xu Fu spread his hands: "If you need it, that's great, but you haven't even graduated from university yet, so there might not be a place for you in my company."

Linda grinned, her eyes growing darker and darker, like sharp arrows, as if she could see right through Xu Fu.

That damn tough guy is seducing me again.

Having lived on the manor for so long, Linda had learned a great deal about Xu Fu from the two old men, Lin Xuzi and his master. To prevent his hard-won apprentice from being taken advantage of, Lin Xuzi even gave Linda a detailed analysis of several of Xu Fu's personality traits: lustful, not greedy, cold-blooded, not a bully, loyal and righteous, cunning, and not eccentric. Besides these, he was also known for his ruthlessness and willingness to do anything for personal gain. In short, be careful around him; don't let him deceive you emotionally or physically.

The girl gritted her teeth, feeling an urge to punch him, but ultimately restrained herself, muttering...

"You have so many men around you, why me of all?"

"Whether it's appearance, temperament, intelligence, or strength, they can't compare to you at all; the gap is too big."

The girl was pleased and her tone became arrogant.

"Since you've fallen so low, come on, what can I do to help you?"

Xu Fu: "..."

This girl has really gone crazy from practicing martial arts; she can't even tell her own place.

He took out a pre-prepared contract and placed it on the table: "This is your contract for your future work. Familiarize yourself with it first. If there are no problems, come back to the Metropolis with me tomorrow."

After saying that, he stood up and left the room, confident that Linda would give him a satisfactory answer.

...

Election Day has arrived as scheduled, and due to yesterday's explosive news, many people believe that Joel Nash will lose his re-election due to his foolish behavior.

But reality dealt them a heavy blow.

On the same day, mass movements in support of Joel Nash broke out in many parts of the city, with supporters printing the words "No Lies, No Truth" on their clothes, which has become a distinctive form of word art.

These people even flocked to the plaza in front of the White House, chanting the president's name.

Furthermore, Xu Fu devoted himself wholeheartedly to online advertising, making full use of his arm strength, and Joel Nash even won the title of Rice's hero at one point.

· ·Requesting flowers····· ······

His fame reached an incredible level.

Faced with this situation, the Department of Defense and the Senate fell into a grim silence. Everyone could see that things were not going well, and the only hope now was that the statistics wouldn't be too bad.

Unfortunately, the thing you least wanted to happen still happened.

After Election Day ended and the vote counting began, the Senate and the Department of Defense were filled with unease as the White House tallied the total votes from each state: of the fifty states in America, 23 of the state capitals had not yet released their vote counts, and 17 of the remaining 27 states were red states.

What Joel Nash represents is that, with only half the votes gone, he already leads his opponent by seven states—an unimaginable gap that could widen to more than a dozen states if the count continues at this pace.

 …

After this data was released, many media outlets even immediately published the 2003 election results, according to which Joel Nash was re-elected as governor of Michigan.

This success is completely different from four years ago, when he won unexpectedly with almost no support, while now he is confident and defeats his opponent with an unimaginable advantage.

After the election, Joel Nash, who had widespread public support, was able to reshuffle his cabinet without fear, and neither the Senate nor Congress could stop him; he regained presidential power and became the true master of the White House.

At the Pentagon, Royman Gunther convened an emergency meeting with eight influential generals, including Sam Lane.

Before the meeting began, an assistant distributed the latest statistics to the attendees. When they learned that Joel Nash's approval rating was close to 60%, their expressions were a mix of emotions.

Royman Gantt tapped the table to draw everyone's attention.

"I heard from the White House that the president will reshuffle the cabinet after the election... This is likely to be the last internal meeting I hold as Secretary of Defense."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone raised their eyes at the same time, and more or less they could read anxiety in them.

Royman Gaunt smiled. "Don't look at me like that. This is just an agreement. Before I leave, I want to tell you one thing: no matter how things change in the future, you are not allowed to say anything about the Demon Wind. This is a request, and also an order. Expel me from your heart, do you understand?"

Chapter 1129 Cabinet Reorganization

Will the cabinet be reshuffled?

The answer is yes, once a person, always a person. This applies both domestically and internationally, but choosing cabinet members is a major issue.

Previous cabinet members were appointed semi-coercively by the Senate, the Department of Defense, and Congress, and with Joel Nash's approval rating so low, the Senate has too many ways to remove him from the White House if he disagrees, so it won't help.

Joel Nash and his cabinet members had accumulated deep resentment over the four years they spent together. The secretaries of many agencies, including the Department of Justice, the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of the Treasury, the CIA, and the FBI, were at odds with him. It can be said that during his years of parasitizing the demon Gustave, Joel Nash not only brought his soul into a puppet state, but also his body into a puppet state.

Fortunately, by the time Adam arrived, the situation had changed. Joe Nash's approval rating was extremely high, and he no longer had to consider the Senate's opinion, allowing him to exercise presidential power without any scruples.

...

On his first day back in the metropolis, Xu Fu arrived at the long-awaited seaside villa. After several months of overtime work by three construction companies, the seaside villa was ready for occupancy.

The villa is located on a hillside two kilometers west of the metropolitan coast, only a half-hour drive from the city center. Nestled against mountains to the north and bordered by forests to the south, it boasts exceptionally beautiful scenery. The villa covers approximately 4,000 square meters and is Xu Fuhua's main residence, built at great expense for himself.

The main building has seven floors, four on the top floor and three on the bottom floor. Apart from the furniture, the main renovation work has been completed, and what remains is the complete arrangement of equipment.

Xu Fu walked around the villa, from the first floor to the fourth floor, and then from the fourth floor back to the first floor. He stood on the windowsill, gazing at the distant sea, the sunset, and the magnificent seascape directly in front of him.

Money is a good thing!

Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh inwardly, then turned and said.

How's the house?

Linda, who was following behind, shook her head: "This place is too Spartan, there's nothing here."

"There's not even any furniture, so of course it's Spartan style."

"You choose, I'll have Ava arrange it according to your wishes." "You can come back anytime."

The girl hesitated: "The teacher said I shouldn't be alone with you."

Once everything was ready, the body obediently chose the largest, most spacious, and best-lit bedroom on the third floor as its temporary residence.

After inspecting the superstructure, Xu Fu went to the basement. The basement walls were made of high-strength concrete and reinforced with various composite materials that have strong earthquake resistance and protective properties.

The three-story building is just the foundation. Xu Fu plans to hollow out the mountain next to it and build a large underground base. Of course, this is only for the future.

After visiting the seaside estate, Xu Fu returned to his temporary residence in the metropolis and sat quietly in his room, waiting.

Time passed by, and before we knew it, the clock struck midnight.

A blue light screen appeared on the smooth wall, and a figure emerged—none other than Adam, who had transformed into the president.
