America: My Time

Chapter 351 Warning
Chapter 351 Warning

It was too late for regrets; Rockefeller and his old geezers were powerless to change anything. In fact, even if they had the chance to do it all over again, these old men would still make the same choice, because deep down they looked down on John, never truly considering him a real opponent, and never considering the dangers posed by their suppression.

Now, John is truly free from any pressure and can expand overseas at will. He has given face to the White House, to those old guys, and even to other forces. But his compromises haven't brought reconciliation; instead, they've only fueled their continued scheming. At this point, John naturally has no more scruples and can expand overseas without restraint. If anyone dares to cause trouble, things will escalate to an uncontrollable level and reach the American public.

At that time, the White House, those old guys, and other forces all had to bear the wrath of the American public. Even an American genius like John suffered such suppression. How much more astonishing would the suppression of ordinary talents be? Perhaps a terrible storm would unfold in the United States. No one could withstand such pressure.

Jaguar Security is a force that even the old guys like Rockefeller dare not underestimate. Since the Bentley Motors incident, Jaguar Security has been expanding its power. Now, its manpower in the United States has more than doubled, and its overseas expansion is also increasing rapidly.

"Let's all speak. This isn't just one person's problem, or one company's problem; it's a problem for all of us. John, that little fox, is expanding uncontrollably. Jaguar Security's strength is increasing rapidly. Everyone knows the situation in the United States. However, I'm afraid not many of you here know the situation overseas. Lanai Island has quite a bit of power now, as does Australia. What's even more frightening is Africa, where there's a group of guys with war syndrome. Their numbers are almost twice that of the United States and Australia. You could say that this little guy in our eyes holds a force that makes everyone fear him, about a thousand strong. That's the important force that allows him to disregard us."

As he continued to fight with old guys like Rockefeller, and as his compromises failed to bring him the peace he deserved, John completely abandoned those ridiculous ideas and accelerated the development of Jaguar Security Company. Now, there are hundreds of people in the United States and Australia, and hundreds more in Africa and the Middle East. In comparison, the forces in Africa and the Middle East are the strongest.

Needless to say, the equipment was top-of-the-line. It was precisely because John possessed such formidable military power that these old guys dared not act rashly or go too far. None of them could afford the consequences of a full-scale war.

"What else is there to say? Under these circumstances, who would dare to continue pressuring this little guy? Do they really think his armed forces are pushovers? I don't want to start a full-scale war with this little guy. Rules cannot be broken. Anyone who breaks the rules will bear the consequences themselves."

"That's right. No matter how bad our relationship with that little John is, it's just business competition. We absolutely cannot break the rules, at least not repeat what happened before. I don't want to be targeted by those lunatics. Business competition is fine, but those underhanded tactics must not be used, and no one can use them. Regarding the Quantum Mining leak, that little fox John has shown some restraint and hasn't made a big fuss, otherwise the consequences wouldn't have been so small. Don't think that just because he's young he's easy to scheme against. You all should be clear-headed. We should focus our energy on our plan against Japan. Otherwise, fighting on two fronts will only result in nothing. That little fox John has hidden power; what we see is only what's on the surface. You haven't forgotten about the funds from Honourable Bank and East West Bank, have you? Morgan has already noticed, and we should be on guard too!"

"Yes, everyone needs to be vigilant and stop acting recklessly. Don't think we can ask the White House to intervene and negotiate, or even use the donkey. Once or twice is fine, but the White House won't get involved any more times. To be honest, I've already received the White House's warning, and I believe you've all received it too!"

“I know some people are unwilling to accept this, but that little guy has already sent a message through Morgan: if anyone breaks the rules again, we will fight to the death. The rules are not just for him.”

There was a time when these old guys were threatened by a junior, and now they are facing such a situation. Although it was only through Morgan's words, these old guys cannot bear the serious consequences. If it comes to this, they will all pay a heavy price and suffer a devastating blow. Someone must take responsibility.

Although these old guys have considerable power behind them, that power doesn't belong to them and they can't mobilize it at their own will. But the security force John has is his personal power, which he can mobilize completely. When that day comes, they will be the ones who suffer, not this little guy John!
John didn't care about what these old guys thought, nor did he care whether his actions would affect the overall situation in the United States. Right now, John was looking at his uncle Justin in surprise, with two beautiful women beside him, Armani Béa and Sophie Marceau.

"Uncle, didn't we agree that I'd come to Paris to see you in a while, and then go to Bordeaux to go back to China with Grandpa and Grandma? Why did you come to the US by yourself?" John looked surprised when he saw his uncle. "John, how about it? Are you surprised? I came here to see you about something!"

"Something wrong?" Seeing the two beauties, John understood. Neither of them were in a very good situation. Armani was just an unknown newcomer in France, and Sophie Marceau was probably having problems with her company.

"Uncle, if I hadn't guessed, it must be related to these two beauties, otherwise you wouldn't have rushed to the United States so quickly. I'm afraid you haven't told anyone!" As he said this, a smile involuntarily appeared on John's face. What would happen if he told his mother about this?
"John, put away your inappropriate thoughts. You can't tell anyone I'm coming to the United States."

"Hahaha! Uncle, you're too naive. My mother might already know about your situation. You should think about how to explain yourself. Let's not talk about this now. Just tell me what your questions are, and I'll do my best to help."

“John, Amani wants to develop her career in the US. You know the situation in Paris, and as a newcomer, she has very few opportunities. Sophie wants to ask about Andrei Zulawski's invitation to participate in the 'Wild Romance' performance. This matter was rejected by Gaumont Company without consulting Sumo. Now she is a little unsure of what to do.”

"Amani's matter is easy to handle; it's not a big deal. I'll put in a good word with Universal Pictures and Paramount. As for Ms. Sophie, Gaumont actually did the right thing. Andrzej Zulawski's films are too crazy, or perhaps more accurately, obsessed with so-called art, going against the grain of popular taste. Although I haven't read the script, Gaumont's rejection must have influenced the image he created for Ms. Sophie. Nowadays, European films excessively pursue so-called art, deviating from popular appeal. Gaumont's company finally signed a cash cow like Ms. Sophie; how could they accept such an outcome? Personally, while Gaumont's approach had its problems, his choice was correct."

“Mr. John, are you saying that Sophie should follow Gaumont’s arrangements?” Amani asked at this moment.

“Just call me John. Actually, I understand Sophie’s thoughts. She wants to break the innocent image that Gaumont has arranged for her. But she can’t make the wrong choice because of a momentary impulse. Sophie, do you really think what you’re facing is an opportunity? Admittedly, Andriy Zulawski has a good reputation and is a big director, or rather, his invitation seems like an opportunity, but it’s not necessarily a good opportunity for you. If the erotic parts are too explicit, have you thought about what consequences it will bring you? Have you really considered the pros and cons?”

"I've thought about these things, but I don't know how to judge them!" At this time, Sophie Marceau was still a young girl. She had gained considerable fame because of the "First Kiss" series, but she was still a little unsure of what to do or how to decide when faced with these questions.

Upon hearing Sophie Marceau's words, John couldn't help but smile, then shook his head and said, "Let me ask you a very direct question: Can you take your clothes off in front of the camera? Completely naked, and even act in passionate scenes with the other person? Have you thought about what kind of impression the audience will have of you? What kind of impact will this have on your acting career?"

“I…” Although Sophie Marceau wanted to say that she could do it, she still hesitated. Although France was very open, Sophie Marceau, as a young girl, still had some hesitation.

"You should think it over carefully. Even if you're unhappy with Gaumont's approach, there's no need to impulsively agree to a film that could negatively impact your future. That wouldn't be good for you. Even if you want to terminate your contract with Gaumont, there's no need to accept this kind of offer. If you feel that working with Gaumont isn't a good fit, you can choose to go to Hollywood first. Hollywood is the center of world cinema. It's easier for you to transition your career here, and you won't have to bear the pressure of being a 'pure and innocent' actress."
