Everything was under control, yet everything was also not. The changing situation required John to be cautious, after all, he was not facing ordinary people, but old guys like Rockefeller, and even Morgan! He did not completely trust Morgan, and Morgan did not trust him either. They were just business partners. If there were absolute benefits, Morgan would also betray him. This was the most realistic situation.

The rules exist to constrain these people, but if Morgan and Rockefeller possess overwhelming power, these rules will have no effect on them, nor will they restrain them. They will attack John without restraint. Strength is the foundation of everything, a point John understands perfectly.

What I rely on most is not my family, nor the companies I control, but Jaguar Security Company and the power I hold in Oregon. That's why I joined the Oregon National Guard. I'm threatening and warning those guys!
At this time, many people were secretly watching everything, waiting for the end of this confrontation. Oil Capital also wanted to know if John would directly confront President Richardson, the old man Rockefeller, and the even more deeply hidden Israelite guys, since they were also behind all of this.

In short, John has no shortage of enemies who want to scheme against him, but they only dare to probe and not actually start a war. They all understand that probing is just a small move that does not pose a great threat, and it will not even give John enough excuse to launch a counterattack and trigger a war that they do not want to see. But once a war starts, it is not something that you can end as you wish. That is the situation in the Middle East now. The guys in Sejon are already starting to have trouble holding on. They cannot withstand such crazy attrition, but they have no way to end the confrontation unilaterally!
The situation in the Middle East has changed. The advantage is gradually shifting towards the wealthy Middle Eastern countries. Without external intervention, these countries will soon wear down Israel. Those who were once incredibly arrogant have finally learned their lesson and realized that they simply cannot afford a protracted war; they lack the national strength for it.

Of course, the attitude in the US is different now. While some wanted to help those guys before, no one dared to act rashly in an election year, as a misstep could provoke public opposition and give their opponents an opportunity. However, things have finally taken a turn for the better, only to have John's incident occur!
"John, the White House has agreed to your request. Everything will be discussed at the White House New Year's reception. They will give you a satisfactory explanation. Before that, don't do anything too outrageous, lest you cause them panic and cause things to change again!"

A few days later, John received a call from Morgan. After speaking with John, Morgan did not stay in San Francisco, nor did Rockefeller and Richardson. In fact, neither of them met with John and they left San Francisco directly. They were both wary and dared not let the situation develop in the worst possible way!

“Alright, for your sake, I’ll give them this time to make arrangements. However, you should understand that if they back out at that point, I won’t be so accommodating anymore!” Although John knew the other party wouldn’t back out, for safety’s sake, he still wanted to remind Morgan, since Morgan was the one mediating all of this, so if anything went wrong, Morgan would also have to take responsibility.

"Don't worry, that won't happen. Even if those guys have all sorts of ideas, they wouldn't dare to do such a thing. If they did, they'd face everyone's wrath! At that point, it wouldn't just be your problem, it would be our problem!" Morgan didn't dare hesitate at this moment and spoke his mind directly. If such a situation were to occur, Morgan would have to give John an explanation, and the entire upper class of the United States would stand by John's side and condemn those guys!
“Okay, I trust Morgan, I trust everyone. I’m waiting for their explanation!” John said, hanging up the phone with a faint smile in his eyes. As long as Morgan made a promise, things would be much easier, and he would have enough time to make more preparations and deal with those guys!
Upon hearing John's words, Morgan sighed. This trust was also a pressure for him. Of course, he understood John's calculations, but he was powerless to do anything about it. From the moment he decided to get involved, he had to accept the pressure he had to face.

"Boss, is it worth it for us to do this? If those guys back out, all the pressure will fall on you. At that time, our cooperation with John will be in trouble, and even Morgan's reputation will be affected!" At this moment, Jimmy looked at Morgan with a worried expression. He didn't want to see such a situation happen!

"I understand what you're saying, but for us, this is a situation we have no choice but to accept. What do you think will happen if we don't accept it? Do you really think those guys are only targeting John? They're still targeting us. In your eyes, you only see their scheming against John, but you don't see that we've also been schemed against. We can't back down at this point. If we do nothing, what do you think people will think of us? Not to mention John's reaction, everyone will look down on Morgan and think we're not a good partner. Everyone knows how much we've benefited from cooperating with John over the years. Now that John has been schemed against and needs our help, if we back down now, who will dare to cooperate with us in the future?"

"Aren't these guys afraid of our retaliation? Aren't they worried that we, along with John, will deliver a fatal blow?" "Afraid? Why should they be afraid? What do you take them for? Don't forget they're at the top of the hierarchy, and with President Richardson involved, we have to give them some face! Do you think those guys from the Donkey gang are completely unaware of all this? Do you think the oil tycoons, daring to be so arrogant, don't understand all this? And what about those lurking in the shadows? No, they all understand, they all see through it all, which is why they're so reckless. Actually, John is right. Those guys are cowardly bullies who prey on the weak; force is the foundation of everything. When John was about to overturn the table, they were all afraid, terrified. Otherwise, do you think Rockefeller and Richardson would have appeared in San Francisco?"

Although Morgan knew what was going on, he couldn't stop it because he was also involved. It seemed like a conspiracy by those guys, but in reality, it was all an open scheme. However, this scheme was aimed at Morgan, not everyone. Even if Morgan understood all their calculations, he had no way to stop it. The initiative was never in Morgan's hands.

As long as Morgan wants to maintain his good image, he must face this kind of scheming, bear the consequences, and handle this matter well. Otherwise, it will directly destroy his image, and anyone who wants to cooperate with him will have to be more vigilant, worrying that they might be abandoned by Morgan at any time and become a pawn!

"But isn't it a bit too unfair for us to bear this pressure like this? It's clearly not our problem, yet we have to deal with it. This is going too far!" No one likes to be schemed against, and Jimmy is no exception. Even if the swindler is Rockefeller, he still harbors resentment in his heart!

"You don't want to take on this pressure? Do you want to fight those Rockefeller guys? Do you think it's necessary? Is it better for us to vent our anger by fighting, or to resolve this and gain a favor?"

Jimmy saw anger and resentment, but Morgan saw it as an opportunity to gain favor. If he helped Rockefeller and the others persuade John and resolve the crisis, they would owe him a favor. How could Morgan refuse such a good deal? Did it matter what the other party's schemes were?

For Morgan, profit trumps everything; in the face of profit, all those calculations are truly insignificant. Of course, if the opportunity arises in the future, Morgan will naturally bring this up again. Everything depends on how things unfold. For him right now, it's an opportunity to gain favor; nothing else matters. The difference in perspective between Morgan and Jimmy stems from their different viewpoints. Morgan sees favor, while Jimmy sees resentment and scheming!

Hearing this, Jimmy sighed, but he was still unwilling to accept it all; it was a matter of mindset! Seeing Jimmy's expression, Morgan sighed softly. If it were an elite member of one of those established families, they wouldn't react like Jimmy; they would make the same decision as him! For these elites, what they value is still profit, not a matter of saving face!
