America: My Time

Chapter 1289 Zipperton's Fury

Chapter 1279 Zipperton's Fury

John didn't intend to find out what Donkey and Zipperton were thinking; it was no longer necessary. He had done all he could, and now he just needed to wait for the results. Lured by profit, those back home would become incredibly frenzied; the profit would be enough to make them take action against Donkey and Zipperton.

Even after John and Morgan reached an agreement, the White House's plans for Dreamworld didn't stop, because it had already spiraled out of the Donkey's control and couldn't be halted at will. Even with talk of splitting it up, not everyone would accept that order.

Everyone was scheming and calculating; who would ultimately emerge victorious depended on their individual abilities. No one had laid out their plans as far back as John in the United States; everything was within his calculations. As the actions against Dream World continued unabated, they ignited the fury of the old Rockefellers.

No one would suspect that John was behind all of this, since he had hardly been in the United States for the past year. Even if he knew something about what was happening there, he wouldn't know the details. Most importantly, John had been targeted by the Donalds, and this incident was clearly also unfavorable to him.

Unfortunately, those old guys had no idea how crazy the market value of Dreamworld and Nvidia would become in the next two years, and naturally they couldn't imagine that John was behind it all. With the layout complete, the finishing touches began, and all the hidden dangers were eliminated one by one. At this moment, the strength of Jaguar Security Company did not disappoint John at all. Everything was done flawlessly, and no one could see what role they played in it.

However, all of this is not good news for Donkey and Zipperton. John's retaliation, the loss of their Oregon territory, and now the pressure from Jaguar Security. The cleanup isn't just about eliminating threats; there's a more important step: putting pressure on Donkey's personnel.

Several of the most vocal individuals have been targeted by Jaguar Security personnel, and they are under immense pressure. Since Zipperton is unwilling to give him a satisfactory explanation, he'll personally take matters into his own hands and seek 'justice'.

When Jaguar Security Company made its move, Donkey's pressure increased significantly. Rockefeller and Morgan, those old guys, both sighed. They knew that John's anger was no longer being contained. They had already given Laugh Tale and Donkey a chance, but unfortunately, these guys didn't seize it. They didn't give John a satisfactory explanation immediately, and they were still thinking about how to target John. Now, an even more terrifying counterattack was coming.

If you're being unreasonable, John won't be reasonable with you either. As one of the tycoons of the American financial world, John is naturally not without a temper. Besides, John isn't without guns. Rules are only observed when everyone has guns, but Donkey and Zipperton don't want to follow the rules, and that will come at a price.

"A madman! How dare he? He's breaking the rules! We'll make him pay!" At this point, Lassoton was already panicked. He hadn't expected John's counterattack to be so fierce, showing no respect for him, the president. Moreover, Jaguar Security directly targeted Donkey's most vocal supporters.

Although Jaguar Security Company did not directly kill them, it began to target them relentlessly. While they did not take their lives, they employed a variety of harassing and disruptive tactics, aiming to make them feel uncomfortable.

"How dare he do this? Don't you think there's something wrong with what you're saying? If you hadn't kept dragging your feet and not given John an explanation, would this have happened? You're not following the rules, yet you expect John to follow them. You seem to have forgotten that John is also one of the tycoons of a conglomerate, and he has guns. You should be grateful that John is somewhat law-abiding; otherwise, your survival would be in question!"

“That’s right. We’ve told you long ago not to challenge the rules, not to think you can act recklessly just because you’re re-elected, and not to drag the whole Donkey down with you. But you haven’t listened at all. You’ve completely offended old Martin, and even the Bayard family. Don’t be fooled by their status as Donkeys; who knows when they might part ways with us, like John did. You know how serious damage to a state’s territory can be. Now John is no longer willing to tolerate it. You’ve forced him into a corner. Are you satisfied now? You’re fine, but think about your family, think about those who have been affected because of you.” Hearing this, Zipperton’s face darkened. He hadn’t expected to be pushed to this point, but he couldn’t accept admitting defeat so easily. He also didn’t believe John would dare to go all out, since John hadn’t yet instructed Jaguar Security to do so, meaning John was also holding back!

"No, we cannot give up because of his threats. We did nothing wrong. Everything we did was for the United States."

"Fine, if you insist, I have nothing more to say. You'll have to bear all the consequences yourself. You think you're not wrong, but the conglomerate won't care whether you're wrong or not. They only care that their interests have been harmed, and you know how much John has lost this time. He's abandoned Dreamworld and Nvidia. Do you think the hatred between you is that terrible? You're still the president now, and he'll still respect the rules. But what will happen to you and your family after you step down? Have you thought about that? Don't play with fire anymore. If you don't bow your head and admit defeat, the consequences will be dire!"

Just as he finished speaking, someone knocked on the door and quickly came in, handing a document to Laugh Tale. He didn't want to compromise. He thought John wouldn't go all out, but now a problem had finally arisen. John wouldn't go all out, but he would target everything about him. Did he really think those guys were completely harmless?
With the power of Jaguar Security, they thoroughly investigated the other party's background and brought them directly to the judicial authorities. This time, John wasn't taking it lightly. Jaguar Security made no attempt to conceal their activities, directly investigating the financial situation and family circumstances of the members of the Dream World group. Unless they truly hadn't accepted any gifts, they would pay a heavy price.

"He's gone mad! He's breaking with us completely, he wants a head-on confrontation!" Zipperton roared furiously upon seeing the document. Professional lawyers were already in action, and soon Donkey would face a full-scale counterattack from John.

"It's not that he's crazy, it's that you're crazy. You're too self-righteous and arrogant. Since your re-election, you've forgotten what it means to be respectful. John is not someone to be trifled with. If you don't bow your head and admit your mistakes now, if you don't compromise, then Donkey will definitely suffer heavy losses and be severely weakened. If Jaguar Security continues to investigate, the problem will become much bigger. At that point, it will truly be out of control, and no one will be able to manage it. Stop it, compromise. Have you thought about what will happen if this continues? People will die. You don't really think John wouldn't dare to go all out, do you? Even if he doesn't go all out, there will be people who will help him do so. There might even be some insidious guys with crazy ideas. You haven't forgotten what those guys from the Koreans and Israel did. If they do anything crazy again, the situation will completely spiral out of control."

Upon hearing this advice, Zipperton's expression darkened. After a fierce internal struggle, he sighed, "He's won. Arrange for someone to reconcile with him. Have someone inform Old Martin!"

"What are you thinking? At this point, you're still worried about saving face. Are you really going to make a big scene? Do you think you can convince John now? Who do you think old Martin can accept? If you weren't going to back down, there was no need to say these things. I've said everything I needed to say. Now it's time for you to make your own decision. Also, you know that someone is inciting those guys from the United Auto Workers again. Someone is stirring up trouble again. And some bad things are starting to happen at General Motors. If they really cause a ruckus, how serious do you think the consequences will be!"

Now, Leigh Burke is backed into a corner. John's final moves, one heavy blow after another, have made Leigh Burke feel the true meaning of pressure. Someone at General Motors dares to cause trouble; this is a slap in the face to Morgan. Dreamworld's troubles are a slap in the face to all American conglomerates. Has Donald Trump gone mad?

This is something that infuriates the bigwigs of American financial groups. Many people think that Donkey has gone mad and Zipperton has gone mad, otherwise they wouldn't have made such crazy moves and made so many calculations in such a short period of time.

However, none of this was part of Richard Lambton's plan, nor was it his instruction. But now he has no way to defend himself because those who made the move were all members of the Donald family, and all of them had connections with Richard Lambton. If he said that he didn't know anything and that it wasn't his plan, no one in the American fandom would believe him. In everyone's mind, this was Richard Lambton's doing!

At this moment, all the conglomerates were enraged by what had happened. Although the donkey kept explaining that this was not their intention, their words were too weak. Because their people were taking action, the donkey said that it had nothing to do with them and that it was not their idea. Even a fool would not accept such an explanation!
