"No"
The old man looked outside, stared straight at Xu Fu, and said, "I came to find you for only one thing: tell me if what Harvey said is true."
Xu Fu smiled helplessly, and then...
"I don't even know what the chief told you." "How can I be sure of the truth?"
Sam Ryan glanced at Amanda, who added, "The general already knows that Joel Nash's true identity is the demon Gast."
"No!"
Xu Fu shook his finger, his gaze shooting over like a sharp sword: "You don't know, you doubt, you doubt the authenticity of the intelligence, you even suspect that Jack Harvey is the mastermind, that he covets the power of the FBI director, and orchestrated all of this in an attempt to bring down Joel Nash and extend his own term."
“Not only you, but also those you represent, you are full of remorse and acted slowly, resulting in our current situation. Jack Harvey is dead, and it's all your fault.”
It gets straight to the heart of the problem, leaving no room for tact.
"Since the FBI has fallen into the hands of the devil because of your stupidity, who do you think he will appoint as the next director? Jason Law? Not a bad candidate, right?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Amanda deliberately. Her expression didn't change, but her fingers were clenched tightly. Jason Lowe had been kicked by her.
Before the two could speak, Xu Fu continued.
"Speaking of which, I really have to thank Director Harvey. If it weren't for his death to prove his innocence, how could you people have suddenly come to your senses and be afraid of a devil as president! This is something you wouldn't even dare to imagine. Just imagine how shocking it would be if the American people found out that their president was possessed by a devil!"
The sarcastic remarks echoed through the restaurant, grating and unpleasant. Amanda and Sam Lane felt as if they had been slapped in the face, unsure how to react.
It's a suffocating feeling!
“General Ryan, I have roughly guessed your intentions, but it’s too late. My cooperation with Jack Harvey is over. I will not interfere in the squabbles between the higher-ups. You can go and resolve this with Joel Nash yourself, or you can pretend nothing happened. Like sheep and wolves, sheep protected by wolves at least don’t have to worry about other dangers, right?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fu immediately stood up, not giving his companions a chance.
The footsteps faded into the distance, leaving restaurant 657 deathly silent. Sam Ryan grinned, his eyes filled with a murderous glint. It took a long time for the anger on his face to subside.
"You're right, he backed down."
"Shuffle Shaw won't sacrifice himself for others; expecting him to play the lead role is impossible. I hope you make a decision quickly. If you delay, Shuffle Shaw might team up with Joel Nash, and then you'll lose your last chance."
Sam Lane frowned: "Aren't they mortal enemies?"
"Enemies are relative. There are no grudges that cannot be resolved with common interests. Besides, would someone like him care whether the person sitting in the presidency is human or not?"
“I also want to remind you of something: the lever to destroy the demon Gast is in Xu Fu-Xiao’s hands, and he has no intention of handing it over.”
"Damn it!"
Sam Lane slammed his fist on the table, his anger a mixture of resentment towards his boss's incompetence, frustration at his own stupidity, and a touch of inexplicable irritation.
Jake Harvey's sudden death not only awakened a group of elderly senators but also cast a shadow over their hearts. People became increasingly worried and fearful of death. In such a tense moment, no one stepped forward to take over the Swamp Forest case. In the end, they could only rely on Sam Lane's superhuman speed to bring the investigation back.
They claim to be guiding the overall situation, but in reality, they're blocking the way.
If he also died in an accident, would the Senate really rather forget that, after all, it was all just a rumor, with no evidence, right?
Chapter 1106: The Ministry of National Defense Visits!
The series of events that have occurred in the past few days have given Xu Fu a clearer understanding of the people in the White House: he is not as foolish as he imagined; he is intelligent, politically astute, and has keen insight.
With just one glance, the enemy's fate would be revealed, and he would not hesitate to send an assassin to deliver a fatal blow.
Jack Harvey is dead, like a wolf pack without its alpha or a bee swarm without its queen. The others will naturally be confused, but by the time they regroup, everything will have settled down.
If Joel Nash is re-elected, he will be the real president, he will have all the power, he will reorganize the cabinet, and he will put his aides in various important positions. At that time, who will dare to investigate his identity? Even if there is evidence that he is the devil, the Supreme Court will reject it for the sake of the country's reputation.
A president can be a cripple, a lecher, a pervert, a hypocrite, or a homosexual, but he must never be a demon, as that would bring shame upon the entire nation.
To show that he had no intention of arguing with anyone, Xu Fu took Vanessa and her "good friend" Eva on vacation to Hawaii.
Hawaii is such a great place; the coastal cities are cold, but here it's still 30 degrees Fahrenheit.
Looking at the young and beautiful girls on the beach who were barely clothed, Xu Fu, who was only wearing a pair of beach shorts, felt a burning pulse in his stomach again. Ever since he ate the green swamp monster apple, his body had been getting better and better every day, and he had more and more energy. He had inexhaustible energy every day.
The cool sea breeze seems to sweep away all worries and difficulties, leaving only beautiful beaches, sexy people, and refreshing food.
This is how life should be!
Xu Fu sighed contentedly, covered his head with his hat, and closed his eyes happily. Before he could even fall asleep for a while, he heard familiar footsteps, and then a soft body was pushed into his arms.
Xu Fu obediently pulled Lillian into his arms, enjoying the wonderful sensation of their skin rubbing together, and his voice rang out lazily.
"study"
"No"
Wearing a blue bikini, Vanessa pulled the hat off Xu Fu's face and said somewhat angrily, "I'm so stupid, I'm bad at skating, I always fall."
"It's okay, take your time, you'll learn eventually."
Why won't you teach me?
“Я?”
"Yes, it's you. We've been here for three days and you've just been lying in the sun. It's so boring. Let's go water skiing."
Frustrated by Xu Fu's laziness, the girl grabbed his arm and pushed him toward the shore.
Eva also arrived: Compared to Vanessa's fair skin and graceful figure, her body is more in line with American aesthetic standards: wheat-colored skin, a round, large bottom that contrasts sharply with her waist, and she can spin around hundreds of times just by standing still.
The three of them had a great time playing in the sea until sunset before returning to the hotel.
Xu Fu asked the waiter to bring him a seafood set meal. After returning to his room and changing his clothes, he opened the door and saw two elderly people sitting on the sofa, looking at him helplessly.
"Trespassing is illegal, General Ryan."
Sam Lane ignored Xu Fu's words and pointed to the older man beside him, introducing himself: "This is General Rossier, representing the Ministry of Defense. We have something important to discuss with you."
Xu Fu put on his pajamas and said casually.
“I said three days ago that I would not interfere in your affairs. Don’t expect me to share my country’s burdens; that’s impossible.”
"But you're still dating Vanessa."
Rozier chuckled, his voice carrying a unique gruffness: "Using Vanessa and Mrs. Nash's power to defeat Joel Nash is a crucial part of Director Harvey's plan. The fact that you haven't given up shows that you never intended to get rid of Joel Nash. Turning enemies into friends is impossible; just let him disappear forever. You've heard that phrase before, haven't you?"
Xu Fu stood there for a while, a strange expression on his face, looking at the old man with thinning hair.
"You and my grandfather..."
Luo Zijun laughed and said, "We did a lot of crazy things when we were young. That phrase was the favorite saying of the Hong Gang leader at the time, and your grandfather regarded it as a golden rule."
That's how it is.
Xu Fu turned and left, saying, "No wonder they sent you to be their intermediary."
"The word 'lobbyist' is used incorrectly; it should be changed to 'partner.'"
ABOUT?
Xu Fu raised his eyebrows slightly, somewhat surprised: "You want to work with me?"
"If Jack Harvey can cooperate with you, why can't we?" "The Department of Defense is more powerful than the FBI."
Rozier was full of confidence, but Xu Fu shook his head. "I think you may have misunderstood. My collaboration with Director Harvey is not because of his ability, but because he has something I need. That's how we can achieve our goal. As for you..." He paused, then shrugged.
“You don’t have what I need. Cooperating with you will not benefit me at all, but will only increase my troubles.”
Rozier took out a document.
"Take a look at this before you do it."
Xu Fu took the document with suspicion, opened it, and quickly flipped through it; the more he looked, the stranger his expression became; finally, he stopped, put the document on the table, and said with a look of amazement, "This is my document."
"The Ministry of National Defense is fully aware of the situation."
Rozier said, "It's no secret that you built Bluebird and Tesla. Bluebird is an energy company and Tesla is a military enterprise. After the factory is built, the next step is research and development. The Department of Defense's orders will greatly shorten the research and development time, right?"
"...That's right, but it's not a necessity, and I won't sell my life for that benefit."
Rozier muttered, "Xu Fu, believe me, this time we're truly sincere."
He sighed deeply.
"The inside story of this matter has already spread. People in the Department of Defense and the Senate already know Joel Nash's identity. Those who were initially skeptical are now convinced because of Jack Harvey's sudden death. Many people are afraid and worried, seeing the White House as the devil's lair, and dare not even enter the door. Who would have thought that the resolute yet timid Joel Nash actually harbors a devil within him? If this devil unleashes its power, the entire White House will become hell. If the entire White House becomes hell, no one can tolerate it and must fight back. The Department of Defense will never support the power of evil."
Xu Fu calmly asked, "What do you plan to do?"
You promised.
"I want (Wang Li Zhao) to know the complete plan before deciding whether or not to proceed."
"That's impossible!" Sam Lane retorted angrily. "Who said you wouldn't reveal the plan?"
Cook shook his head incredulously.
"The demon within Joel Nash is called Gust, an ancient ruler of the galaxy. Besides powerful magic, he possesses two special abilities: one is the Aura of Doom, which you already understand and needs no further explanation; the other is the Mask of Fate: he has one body and two souls, inextricably linked, without beginning or end. The only way to completely kill him is to kill both souls simultaneously. Otherwise, he can be reborn using the power of the other soul."
"Joel Nash's soul is one of them; only I know the whereabouts of the other soul."
Xu Fu held up one finger and pointed to himself: "Do you understand? You two, if you want to stay away from danger, I am... the obstacle you must overcome."
Chapter 1107 The Impatient Senate
Xu Fu's words shocked Rossier and Sam Lane. They had already learned about the abilities of the demon Gast from Standalone, Maeve, and others, and were fully prepared for the Aura of Fate, but this was the first time they had heard of the Mask of Fate.
