Chapter 1306 Hidden danger

Chapter 1296 Hidden Dangers
Rockefeller opened his mouth as if to say something, but the words caught in his throat. At this point, anything he said would be useless; without integrity, there was no basis for communication. If he weren't facing Morgan, there would still be a sliver of hope—he could use the Rockefeller family's influence to offer an 'explanation.' But he was facing Morgan, who was utterly unafraid of the Rockefeller family.

Although Rockefeller desperately wanted to admit his mistakes, nothing he said would make a difference in this situation. Morgan didn't believe him, and John wouldn't either. Having repeatedly broken his promises, who would trust him anymore? He had unknowingly fallen into the same trap of crying wolf. Was this outcome his own fault, the White House and the donkey's manipulation, or John's indulgence and deliberate scheming?
In an instant, countless thoughts surged through his mind, but no matter how many excuses he made, it was useless. Now that things had developed to this point, he had no way out, which made him smile bitterly, his eyes filled with disappointment. Although he had gained a lot, he had also lost a lot. Perhaps Morgan was right; it was his lack of integrity that prevented him from controlling everything in the family and from making decisions as decisively as Morgan.

Why did this happen? To put it bluntly, it was the result of greed. It was the result of his constant disregard for John. He always treated John as a junior, never truly as a rival. He always treated John with a condescending attitude. Over a decade, this had become an instinct, a belief that as long as he was firm, he could force John to compromise, and even Morgan to compromise. He forgot that such compromises would also deplete his personal relationships and integrity!
Seeing Rockefeller's reaction, Morgan said nothing more. At this point, there was no need to say anything more; wrongdoing had consequences. Now was the time for Rockefeller to take responsibility for everything he had done.

Although he was unwilling to leave like this, Rockefeller was powerless. When Morgan showed him no respect, he was helpless. In front of Morgan, who was of equal status, everything he had ever had was insignificant. He couldn't even dream of using his power to intimidate others; he simply couldn't do that.

It was only then that Rockefeller realized he had unknowingly made so many mistakes. For politicians, such so-called 'integrity' is not important, but for Rockefeller, it was different. Time and again, he cooperated with the donkey and got involved in the struggle for interests, causing him to lose people's trust time and time again. In the end, the consequences finally came to his head. Now it was too late to regret and feel sorry for himself. No one would believe him anymore!

"Alas! I was wrong. I was too arrogant and presumptuous. Don't worry, I know what to do!" After saying this, Rockefeller did not stay any longer, nor did he have any intention of persuading Morgan. He turned around and left. Today, he had lost all face. He had no face to talk to Morgan or John until he had fulfilled his promise. All excuses were useless.

"Boss, is this a good idea? That's Rockefeller, and he doesn't just represent himself!" Jimmy looked at his boss with some concern, a hint of worry in his eyes. He wasn't worried about Rockefeller himself, but about all the forces behind him—that was the most troublesome problem!
“You always fail to see the bigger picture. So what if he doesn’t represent himself? Do you think those old guys would dare stand in front of me and say the same things? Do you really think John has no temper? Do you really think John doesn’t have the heart to kill? I can tell you clearly, as long as Donkey and Rockefeller continue to use those underhanded methods, they will pay a bloody price, and Soros might not even have a chance to return to the United States. I’m doing this for the greater good!”

"No way, John would be that crazy?" Jimmy was shocked when he heard this. He couldn't believe that John would kill Soros under such circumstances.

“Nothing is impossible. Just because you can’t see something doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Do you remember how John arranged everything? Do you remember who he sent back to the US first?”

At this moment, Jimmy gasped: "It's Claudia Schiffer and Christie Turlington!"

“Yes, it’s those two. They have one thing in common: they have no children. If John didn’t intend to kill them, why didn’t Jennifer Connelly return to the US immediately? It was a warning to Donald and Rockefeller. Unfortunately, these guys were blinded by immediate gains and didn’t see through it all. If they had even a little bit of vigilance, they wouldn’t have done such a thing. And Rockefeller is too arrogant and self-righteous. Favors eventually run out. More than ten years have passed; hasn’t he considered how little goodwill he has left between Morgan and Rockefeller? I’ve reminded him, but he still did it. Do you think I should still give him face?” Hearing Morgan’s explanation, Jimmy realized that there were so many calculations behind this matter. No matter how powerful Rockefeller was, he was an equal to Morgan and John. Without favors, there was no basis for communication. The collapse of trust had cost him the chance to confront Morgan.

"But don't Zipperton and the others understand this? Don't Donkey understand this? And even those who cooperate with Rockefeller understand this? Why do they keep choosing to have Rockefeller come forward instead of taking turns?" At this moment, Jimmy asked the question that had been bothering him. After all, this was not just Rockefeller's problem, but everyone's.

"Heh, that's the lure of profit. Rockefeller wanted the lion's share, so naturally he had to step in. Did you really think he'd fallen out with Donkey? Did you really think those promises from a while back were genuine? He's always treated John like a junior, but over a decade has made him forget respect. I've reminded him before, but he didn't listen at all. He agreed verbally, but didn't take any corresponding action! Do you think John's sudden outburst at this moment is just for grabbing profits? There's also a sense of intimidation, a warning behind it. The moment Old Martin left, John changed. He's no longer the same person he once was, and he no longer values ​​friendship."

At this point, Morgan sighed. The moment John offered "Dream World" and "Nvidia" was the final compromise. Unfortunately, greed corrupted them, and Rockefeller and his ilk failed to manage things properly. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say that Rockefeller was too greedy, or rather, the Rockefeller family was too greedy. They always wanted the lion's share, always wanted to maximize profits, forgetting that everything comes at a price.

"If John really intended to kill, isn't he afraid of the backlash? Even if he's in the right, such a domineering response would make many people uneasy, and might even cause things to spiral out of control!"

"People of the same rank follow the rules. Since Rockefeller and his ilk have repeatedly broken the rules, they must pay the price. That's a consensus. Besides, the new money families have always been eyeing the old money families, wanting to seize their positions. If John were to raise the flag, what do you think would happen to the Rockefeller family? And what do you think would be the fate of Rockefeller and Donkey if John brought the matter to the public eye? The knife is still in John's hand. His investment in Jaguar Security Company wasn't for nothing, and he didn't control Oregon for nothing either. Now he has the manpower and the money. Do you think he needs to continue compromising?"

“No, John really doesn’t need to compromise anymore!” Jimmy said with a wry smile; it all came too suddenly.

"Nothing should be taken to extremes. Unfortunately, Donkey and Laugh Tale didn't think that way, nor did Rockefeller. John's repeated concessions made them believe they held the truth, unaware that the guns were already pointed at them. People need to reflect on themselves and not be arrogant, or they'll end up like this. These Rockefellers really thought John was breaking up the banks and these large corporations to relieve pressure, but there was a deeper purpose behind it: to prepare for the worst. When it really came down to a fight, this would minimize his losses. These bastards only saw the surface benefits, not the endless killing intent hidden behind them. So Rockefeller, Donkey, and Laugh Tale are trying to cause trouble again. If I don't stop all this, things will definitely go in the worst possible direction, and someone will pay the price with their life!"

"Hiss!" Jimmy gasped again. He hadn't realized the implications were so profound, nor that John's actions were so calculating. If his boss hadn't explained, he would never have guessed so much, and would never have understood how terrifying John was. The more Jimmy learned about John, the greater the pressure became, and the more worried he became about the dire consequences if John stopped following the rules!
If John were to lose control and his mind, the entire United States would descend into chaos, leading to one frenzied massacre after another. Once the Jaguar Security Company mobilizes its forces, no one will be able to stop it from happening. Morgan doesn't have that ability either. At that point, John will act without restraint!
