Chapter 1118 The Mastermind Behind It All

Chapter 1108 The Mastermind Behind It All

In an election year, someone dared to target John, aiming to drag him into the election. Who was making such a move? Morgan wanted to know, but he couldn't act rashly now. After all, it was an election year, and if Morgan made a big move, it would have a significant impact, affecting the election and even dragging Morgan into the election. This was not a situation he wanted to see, nor was it an outcome Morgan could afford!

"Boss, do you think it could be those guys from Israel? After all, they have a grudge against John, and John has just made such a large-scale collaboration with the Middle Eastern tycoons. Those guys must hate John immensely, so they might have the motive to drag John into this mess. After all, those guys are all cunning and treacherous; there's nothing they wouldn't dare to do. Weren't those guys in Japan tricked by them back then? If it weren't for the US intervening, I'm afraid those guys wouldn't have gotten through the crisis so easily!"

"It's possible, but that's not the situation we need to face. Even if these guys are really trying to scheme against John and drag him into it, the only thing we can do is remind John that we can't interfere in other matters. Morgan isn't without enemies either. If we intervene, we could easily put ourselves in danger. There are quite a few lurking in the shadows trying to scheme against us. Quite a few bastards are eyeing Morgan and want to sever our cooperation with John. So at this time, we need to protect ourselves first before making any plans. Think carefully about the situation in Hollywood, and then think about the current situation, and you'll make some discoveries!"

At this point, Morgan sighed deeply, his expression turning somewhat grave. This change in demeanor forced him to be cautious, as it was an election year, and the slightest misstep could lead to an attack by his enemies, resulting in a heavy price for Morgan. Therefore, Morgan needed to be prudent rather than act rashly.

No matter how many schemes the enemy has, as long as they dare to make a move, Morgan will definitely notice. Moreover, since these guys are involved in such a major event, there is no time or energy to settle scores with them now. But things will be different after the election. In time, someone will have to pay the price. Anyone who tries to scheme against Morgan will have to pay the price.

The fact that things had escalated to such an extent that even Jimmy had become aware of it meant that Morgan naturally believed there was a hidden hand plotting against him. Therefore, he needed to remain calm and cautious, rather than act rashly. The more critical the situation, the more careful he needed to be, and the more vigilant Morgan needed to be to prevent being ambushed by the enemy.

Under these circumstances, Morgan believed that not only he, but also Rockefeller, the White House, other financial groups, and even the Donkey and the Elephant knew. However, it was difficult to say who was orchestrating this, as figuring everything out in such a short time was no easy task; it required time. Time was crucial for Morgan, and crucial for everyone else as well, so for now, they could only wait and see.
When Jimmy told John all this, John didn't react at all, just calmly said "I know." This shocked Jimmy, as it was completely different from what he had imagined. He didn't understand why John was so calm. Did this guy already know something, or did he already know who the enemy behind this was and what these bastards wanted to do?
With many questions in mind, Jimmy came to report to his boss and expressed his doubts. He couldn't understand the result and found it hard to accept. In his opinion, it was all too crazy.

"You just don't use your brain. John's calmness is the right thing to do. What kind of reaction do you expect him to have? You know the situation in Hollywood, you know the current state of affairs. Besides, John has already promised to remain neutral and not participate in this election battle. If he doesn't remain calm, what else can he do but take action? If he does take action, that would be falling into the enemy's trap. As soon as he takes action, it means he has broken his promise, and someone will target him."

"No way, they've gone mad. If they really play like this, they'll be targeted by John and suffer his boundless wrath. Even the oil giants can't withstand such wrath, and neither can the donkeys nor the elephants!"

"Foolish! Don't you understand who's behind all this? Who could be so brazen as to act with such impunity?"

“Is it really possible for them to be this crazy? Aren’t they worried that if they anger John, the Middle Eastern tycoons will get more support, more advanced weapons will fall into their hands, and they will face greater pressure and threats?” Jimmy looked at his boss in disbelief. This situation was unacceptable to him.

"What do they have to worry about? You don't think these guys didn't consider this before they did this, do you? You don't think the US will abandon these guys and allow John to further help and support Middle Eastern tycoons. That's impossible. The US won't allow that to happen. Even if John is a financial magnate, he can't undermine US interests or disrupt US plans. And I believe John already knew all this, even knew that those guys in Israel were plotting against him, but he just didn't want to retaliate." Just as Morgan said, John had already noticed when the guys in Israel were plotting against him. It's just that the timing was too abnormal. In an election year, John didn't want to be targeted or bear unnecessary pressure, so he suppressed everything.

It's not just a problem with grain merchants; there's also the shadow of Israel behind Hollywood. It's just that this time there isn't much oil capital involved. Some guys have parted ways with those bastards in Israel and are no longer involved in their plans. For these guys, they value their own interests more.

John was unwilling to retaliate because he understood that the United States would not allow him to target those bastards in Israel, even if he had an absolute reason. As Morgan said, the interests of the United States would not allow John to disrupt them, and the United States' layout in the Middle East would not allow John to disrupt it.

Those guys in Israel dared to act recklessly and target John precisely because they saw through everything. Not only did they see through the situation in the US and the pressure John was under, but even the Middle Eastern tycoons saw through it all. That's why there was a rift between them and John, and why they made those tests. The balance in the Middle East cannot be broken; John knew this perfectly well, as did those guys in Israel, and the Middle Eastern tycoons were also aware of it. That's why all of this happened.

Upon receiving Jimmy's reminder, John naturally did not retaliate, because he could not do so. It was a taboo he could not cross, and John could not take this step unless he wanted to antagonize all the financial groups in the United States.

"It's terrifying! These guys are so crazy, daring to do such things. If it weren't for your explanation, I wouldn't have believed any of this. I wouldn't have believed that these guys are so insane! But since John can't disrupt the balance in the Middle East, how can he retaliate against those guys? Is he just going to swallow this insult?"

"Support in the military industry is impossible, but support in other areas is still possible. Don't forget that John isn't just a military tycoon; he's also a media mogul. Targeting those guys in Israel wouldn't be difficult for him, and his international influence is considerable, so making things difficult for them wouldn't be hard either. Do you think that if John cooperates with Japan, it's possible to teach Israel a lesson? And don't forget that he also has influence in Europe, the British, and his presence in Northern Europe. Do you think that could put even more pressure on those guys?"

Morgan shook his head. He didn't think it was a difficult matter. As long as John wanted revenge, he would always find an opportunity and a way. Besides, Jimmy had clearly underestimated John.

Success is hard to achieve, but failure is easy. If John wants to sabotage Israel's plans, it won't be difficult for him. Moreover, John has his own influence within the United States. When the opportunity arises, those guys in Israel will know what pain is and will pay a heavy price for their madness.

John is no longer the impulsive youth he once was. He's become much more formidable, and unless those guys remain completely blameless, they will pay a heavy price for their foolishness. Arrogance has dire consequences, and the current situation with Israel has made Morgan feel they've become far too arrogant. They've all lost their sense of propriety and forgotten their place, which greatly displeases Morgan.

It wasn't just Morgan Stanley who felt this way; the entire upper class in the United States, including high-ranking officials, were extremely dissatisfied with these guys from Israel. Their arrogance could easily trigger changes in the Middle East situation, affecting the United States' economic recovery plan. It's important to understand that both the United States and Europe need cheap energy right now. If problems arise in the Middle East, it will affect the economic recovery of the United States and Europe, which will arouse dissatisfaction and anger among many people.
