America: My Time

Chapter 760 A Deal Under Fear
Chapter 750 A Deal Under Fear
"Dad, why don't you take a nap first? I'll wake you up when the report from over there comes over!" Xiao Bushi said when he saw his father looking sleepy. After all, he was getting old and staying up all night was making it hard for him to keep going.

“No need, I’ll wait a bit longer. I need to know the situation in California as soon as possible. I need to figure out what those guys have done, and I also need to know John’s capabilities. Those old guys are still not out of danger. Even though they haven’t returned to their original residences, John has their every move under control. If something unexpected happens in California, those old guys will be in danger.”

"Dad, are you overthinking this? John's Jaguar Security Company has that kind of capability, and didn't Old Martin leave with John? With Old Martin around, how could John do something so crazy?" Little Bush couldn't quite believe his father's words; in his opinion, his father was being too anxious.

“George, remember this: if you encounter something like this in the future, be extremely careful and don't be careless in the slightest, because it concerns your life and death. Don't underestimate anyone, not even those you know best. Things you think are impossible are possible. The power of Jaguar Security Company is beyond your imagination. Don't think that this security company is not well-known in the United States; its reputation overseas is beyond your imagination. Moreover, in such a major incident, if something really goes wrong, even Old Martin can't stop John! Right now, we can't be sure if it was just John who took action. After all, there are far too many forces behind this. It's not impossible that someone wants to use another person to do their dirty work!”

After a tedious wait, Old Bush finally received the report from California, and the results shocked him. In just a brief operation, those old guys' forces in California had been completely destroyed. Except for their core members, everyone else had been wiped out. This report horrified Old Bush, forcing him to reassess the strength of Jaguar Security Company. Such speed and power were terrifying.

Most importantly, these guys have already retreated, disappearing before anyone could react, and cleaning up the mess completely, leaving no hidden dangers. That's the most terrifying part; you don't even have a chance to settle scores afterward—they don't give you any opportunity at all.

"Look, this is the power you take for granted!" With that, the old man handed the report to George, letting him know what major events had occurred in California in such a short time, and how none of it had affected the outside world.

"Wow! Dad, this is insane! Is this the power that John has? How did he do it? Even the most elite troops in the US wouldn't be able to do this!" Little Bush looked at Old Bush in shock, his eyes filled with astonishment. This result far exceeded his expectations.

“John commands the most elite forces, which is why I’m being so cautious. Now, inform those old guys, let them know the situation in California, and tell them to fulfill the agreement as quickly as possible!”

As soon as Old Bush issued his order, the people around him quickly sprang into action, informing the old men. John knew about these old men's situation, and Old Bush, as the president, was also fully aware of it. Soon, the situation in California reached these old men, letting them understand what had happened in that short period of time. If they had spoken any later, perhaps all their forces in California would have been completely wiped out.

“Morgan, this is the result in California. Now it’s time for you to step forward and talk to John. At least you should convey a message that we are safe. We can’t afford any more trouble. Also, I need your help to shut up the media. The events in California must not be known to the outside world. Although Jaguar Security Company’s methods are very effective and have kept the outside world in the dark, I’m worried that some guys are not being honest. This requires your intervention.”

"Don't worry, I'll handle it. As for John, I'll find a time to talk to him. But those old guys need to fulfill their promises quickly, otherwise even if I step in, it won't be of much use. Just as you said, we can't afford any more trouble right now. If someone with ulterior motives stirs things up behind the scenes, the consequences will be severe."

"Don't worry, if anyone dares to cause trouble at this time, they should be prepared to be purged. No one is allowed. If the media dares to stand on the opposite side of us, they have no reason to exist. I believe you understand the danger involved. Rockefeller has already agreed, and now as long as Morgan agrees, it won't be a problem. John believes you can persuade him."

“Okay, I’ll do my best, but those old guys need to be quick, at least they need to show some willingness to hand over their shares in the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco to John. Only then will John back down, otherwise the situation will remain very tense.”

“I understand. Rockefeller has already agreed to this. They will first give their share to Integrity Bank. As for the Fed's shares, they will negotiate with those guys. You know that takes time.” “I know, but knowing is useless. You have to get John's agreement. Do you think John will accept it? And if something unexpected happens in the meantime, who will bear the consequences? Morgan doesn't want to take on that pressure. The White House needs to step in. Only with your intervention can things be resolved satisfactorily and as quickly as possible.”

After the situation in California came to a conclusion, Morgan was a little dazed. He hadn't expected John to be so ruthless. This operation was practically aimed at wiping out everyone. If Old Man hadn't spoken up early, those guys' influence in California might have been completely eradicated.

"Jimmy, what's the situation with John?"

"Boss, our people haven't been able to find John. All his properties in New York have been taken over by Jaguar Security. Nobody knows John's real location. He's still waiting for the results!"

"Then inform him to have the people from Chengxin Bank take over the shares of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and let them take over the board positions. Rockefeller has already made the arrangements, and I believe someone will arrive at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco soon. Have his people go there as soon as possible. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise no one will be at ease. The power that John wields is too terrifying. I believe those old guys are already scared out of their wits."

Things will ease up once Honest Bank takes over the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The pressure will lessen, and the danger will be significantly reduced. Those old guys and the White House won't be a concern anymore. Now it's up to the White House to see how fast they can act and whether they can suppress those guys and force them to compromise.

At this moment, Old Man Rockefeller was rapidly arranging numerous matters, communicating with those individuals and the countries behind them. Meanwhile, Rockefeller was also taking action. At this moment, everyone forgot about Hurricane Investment and Standard Chartered Bank, and Wall Street fell into an eerie calm. At this time, the Wall Street giants were all cautiously observing, and no one took the initiative to make a move. They were all waiting for the outcome.

As night fell once more, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show had begun, but surprisingly, Johnny Depp was absent, reportedly due to unforeseen circumstances. Even the Wall Street giants and financial tycoons were nowhere to be seen. This puzzled many, and astute observers suspected something significant had happened; otherwise, such a change wouldn't have occurred. However, the media dared not utter a word, having been given a gag order to discuss the matter. The boss behind the scenes had only one requirement: only entertainment-related topics were to be discussed, nothing else!
In this atmosphere, the media could only follow the boss's orders, and no one dared to act recklessly. After all, they all understood that such matters were not for them to get involved in, as it could lead to death.

"Linda, have you been able to contact him? Didn't he agree to participate in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show? Why did he suddenly change his mind and not even give a reply?" Cindy Crawford quietly asked Linda Evangelista backstage, hoping to get some information from her, but the result greatly disappointed her.

Linda Evangelista shook her head and said, "I don't know, I can't get in touch with them. You don't have any news either? It seems like something big has happened. Didn't you see that none of those guys from Wall Street have shown up, and no one in the media is reporting on it? It seems like they have something important to do."

What kind of big event is it? Many people are thinking about it, but few would think it's John's confrontation with those old guys. More people think of Hurricane Investment, and Hurricane Investment's previous actions. After all, many people know that the Hurricane Investment's operators have entered the safe house, and many people also know that the yen has been shorted. So most people think it's related to this event.

At this time, not many people in the United States know what is happening in California. Even Donkey has to keep silent and dare not make any rash moves. This is all too crazy. They are also afraid. After all, Donkey has offended John, that little fox, quite a bit. Some guys who know the situation are uneasy and are afraid that John might take action against them, so they all bury their heads in the sand.
