America: My Time

Chapter 1312 Death Crisis
Chapter 1302 Crisis of Death
"Make things difficult for me? You're overthinking it. They're not in a position to make things difficult for me. Trying to control me with such underhanded tactics is just wishful thinking on their part. You two need to be assertive and not hold back. This time, the Japanese government needs to give me an explanation, and the Japanese conglomerates need to give me an explanation too!" As soon as John finished speaking, Hitomi Kuroki and Momoko Kikuchi immediately realized that they had indeed overthought things. Their intervention wasn't because they needed their power, but because they were giving them an opportunity.

John could accomplish everything without them, but their involvement gave him more opportunities and greater recognition. As long as the Japanese government and the Japanese conglomerate compromised, everything would be fine, and they would reap considerable benefits. How the matter would end was none of their concern.

"I understand!" Kuroki Hitomi nodded to indicate that she understood. Kikuchi Momoko also quickly realized the situation. In this matter, her reaction was not as good as Kuroki Hitomi's, at least a step slower. Fortunately, John did not seem to mind!
“Good that you understand. Don’t rush. Do everything according to your own circumstances. Don’t accommodate anyone. You represent me!” John continued to remind the two of them, letting them take over the matter so that they could have a good opportunity to gain recognition from others and avoid many troubles in the future. John was also giving them plenty of time and did not care about the impact of this matter at all.

Of course, this was just John's outward expression of dissatisfaction with Japan. This pressure was only directed at Japan. As for those guys in the United States, the oil capital involved, and the White House personnel, John had already begun to take drastic measures in secret. When Kuroki Hitomi and Kikuchi Momoko came to report, the Jaguar Security Company personnel had already taken action, locked onto their targets, and launched a hunt for them.

This situation wasn't limited to the United States; it also occurred in Japan and Asia. John showed no mercy in eliminating anyone involved in plans targeting him. The Laughlin family was protected by the 'President's' status. After all, no matter how arrogant or domineering they were, they couldn't target the 'President' himself; shooting him in the back would have too much of a negative impact. In contrast, others didn't have as many reservations.

This time, Jaguar Security did a more thorough job. At least on the surface, they could explain it away as an accident, not a gunshot wound. It was either a car accident, a home electrical leak, or some other unexpected event. That's how it is in the US; all those deaths are accidental and have nothing to do with outsiders.

However, everything changed in Asia. In Japan, those guys were shot in the back and killed without any attempt to conceal it. Anyone with eyes could see what had happened, and soon the Japanese guys were in a panic.

John, a man of integrity and who followed the rules, made them think he was easy to bully. But when John turned ruthless, everything changed. Those who jumped out were terrified, fearing they would be the next target. But it was too late for regrets now. Those who were targeted were doomed. Who told them to be so eager? They actually thought John was easy to talk to and that they could get away with it from him. How foolish and laughable!

Perhaps this was John's persona in Japan for over a decade, leading these guys to believe that as long as someone stepped in, everything would be fine. But this time was different. No matter who stepped in, it was useless. In just a few days, those who jumped the highest were purged. In Asia, John directly severed the hands of Yamato Capital and the White House, and did so in the most direct way, which instilled fear in Yamato Capital and the White House.

“See? I told you not to play with fire. Now they’ve been provoked and are retaliating. Think about how you’re going to give them an explanation. This can’t drag on any longer. And don’t believe those donkeys’ nonsense. Look how many people have died. Those who were jumping the gun have all been wiped out, and all of them died in accidents. And this is just in the US. It’s even more outrageous in Asia.” Hillary was genuinely scared. When John resorted to such methods, it inevitably reminded people of the few times John had taken action. The first time was always a bloodbath, a storm.

"Let's ask old Martin to step in. After all, they're family, so it'll be easier for him to speak up!" Larry thought of old Martin again, but this time his request didn't get Sherri's approval. Did he really think everyone else was stupid and that he was the only smart one? Even family has its limits, and what reason did old Martin have to plead for them?

“I don’t want to say anything more, because you won’t listen anyway. If you want to die, if you want to put us all in danger, then do it. In this situation, what’s the point of playing tricks and schemes? In the face of absolute power, your tricks and conspiracies are utterly useless. Since John has chosen to do this, it means he has been thoroughly enraged and is no longer following the rules. Haven’t you noticed the reactions of those old guys like Morgan and Rockefeller? Haven’t you noticed the changes in high society? They’re all hiding, they all understand that once John makes a move, he won’t stop easily, and someone will have to pay a bloody price.”

How long has it been? The situation has deteriorated so drastically. Zipperton was still hesitant, but things quickly spiraled out of control. The entire American Donkey Club paid a heavy price, especially the most vocal members. These guys all thought being a member of the Donkey Club was their best protection, but the moment John broke the rules, all protection became meaningless.

"Have you even tallied up the extent of our losses? Doesn't this guy fear incurring public wrath? How dare he be so arrogant and domineering? Does he even respect me as the 'President'? Does he have any humanity left? He actually turned against his own people!"

"You call him one of us? That's ridiculous. When did John ever consider you one of us? If you did, you wouldn't have resorted to so many underhanded tactics. Time is running out; if you drag this out, even more people will die. You dared to break the rules, so you have to pay the price. You brought this all on yourselves. Morgan, Rockefeller, and the other financial groups haven't made a move, and even the entire upper class hasn't been greatly affected. Everyone knows that John wasn't at fault; you went too far. Now things are out of control. Are you satisfied?"

Before Larry and Sherrari could reach a conclusion, the phone rang. The Donkey's bigwigs were also getting restless, because the dead were all their own people, their underlings. If they couldn't resolve the issue quickly, the consequences would become extremely dangerous, and they could easily find themselves in dire straits.

John's ruthlessness once again reminded everyone how crazy this guy was, and they were also worried about the situation in Asia. If their ignorance caused the Fed's plan to fail, the donkey would have to bear the Fed's wrath. Moreover, if John continued, Soros and his ilk might be in danger.

"Compromise! Stop fighting this madman John! We can't watch our own people fall. And this time, all the financial groups are silent, even the Federal Reserve hasn't said anything. It's obvious they don't want to confront John directly; they're all holding back. And this time, John has a valid reason. Stop! Quickly resolve everything and restore normalcy in Asia. Otherwise, with everyone in a panic, what action can Soros and his ilk possibly take?" Upon hearing these words, Zipperton sighed again. His status had been lowered even further. Now, those guys at the Federal Reserve completely disregarded him, the president. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent the Donald's bigwig to tell him such an important matter. The Federal Reserve could have negotiated with him; clearly, he had been kicked out of the game.

"Okay, I'll get to work soon, but I can't guarantee the outcome. Things are already out of control, and if something serious goes wrong, I won't be able to handle it. Once this gets out into the public eye, the impact will be huge. The other side has the capability and the determination to do so!"

"Don't worry, what you're worried about won't happen. Someone will step in to solve this problem, but you need to deal with everything that happened before as soon as possible. Otherwise, you'll have to bear all the consequences yourself. Don't expect those guys to share the burden for you. They're all dead. You understand how serious the consequences are!"

Laugh Tale understood perfectly well that this was John's warning, a warning delivered in blood, a warning to the donkeys. Clearly, those donkeys had given in without a second thought, without even a hint of resistance. This infuriated Laugh Tale. Wasn't this blatant bullying? Good things never happened to him, but he was always the scapegoat for all the bad. He, the president, wasn't their scapegoat; this wasn't his will!
Unfortunately, even if Larrynton were to step forward and claim he had nothing to do with it, no one would believe him. After all, Larrynton has made things so bad that they've spiraled out of control. Under these circumstances, how could anyone believe him? So things have turned out this way; clearly, he's become Donald's pawn. Donald wants to sacrifice a pawn to save the king, but the king isn't Donald himself, the president; it's Donald himself.

Larendon wasn't stupid; he understood his current situation and the intentions of those donkeys. Although he was filled with endless anger, he could only accept it. If he resisted, he would only pay a greater price.

“I will do all of this, but I have one request: I need someone to guarantee the safety of my family. Even after my term ends, no one can retaliate because of this. If you can agree to this, I will do my best to handle everything and will not cause you any trouble or worry anyone.”

Upon hearing Zipperton's words, there was a slight pause on the other end of the phone, as if Zipperton had shocked them. After a moment, the voice rang out again: "Okay, I can give you that guarantee, but you'll have to bear all the consequences yourself. This matter ends with you, and there shouldn't be any further complications!"

Hearing this, Zipperton breathed a sigh of relief. When he became a pawn, he understood that the donkey was unreliable. He wanted to use his limited power to ensure the safety of his family and himself, so that they wouldn't be punished later. If he waited until his term ended, without any constraints, his family would pay with their lives.

Time was of the essence. After Laugh Tale made his promise, the call ended. Clearly, they hadn't just contacted Laugh Tale alone; it was likely that Donald Trump was already contacting those powerful American conglomerates, asking them to mediate. At this point, even if Old Martin or the Bayard family intervened, it wouldn't make a difference; John wouldn't listen to their advice.

Instead of wasting time and energy on the Bayard family, it would be better to negotiate with old guys like Morgan and Rockefeller. They could resolve this major problem by paying a small price, which they would be willing to accept. Donkey could accept it, and so could Zipperton, but only if someone could persuade John to back down; otherwise, things wouldn't end so easily.

After hanging up the phone, Zipperton's face turned ashen. For the president to be abandoned by the donkey was a ridiculous joke, meaning that the donkey would no longer pay a greater price to protect him.

"Stop sighing. Let's get moving and make those Koreans and Japanese shut up. We also need to make them give John an explanation so things don't escalate. While things can still be managed, let's resolve all the troubles quickly and not let ourselves get into deeper trouble. Otherwise, we'll really only have one way out: death!"

The donkey's abandonment made Sherri realize how dangerous the situation was for herself, her family, and herself. Without the donkey's protection, the consequences would be unimaginable, perhaps even devastating. Therefore, she believed that to end everything quickly, she needed to act decisively and resolve the situation properly.

"I'm already thinking of ways, what methods, what excuses to use to resolve all this!" As the president, Leddon still had many concerns and wanted to find a way out for himself rather than taking all the blame himself. If it really came to that, he would be in danger.

"What other ideas are you coming up with? Just lay it straight and warn those guys. Show your presidential dominance. You're not dealing with John or the American financial group. There's no need to give them face. We just need to get everything we want. There's no need for any more ideas!"
