America: My Time

Chapter 774 A Conspiracy Emerges?

Chapter 764 A Conspiracy Emerges?
John didn't continue talking to these old guys about the internet, because it wouldn't be of much use. These old guys weren't on his side; they just wanted more benefits. John was also worried about accidentally getting dragged into the Russians' affairs, since it was hard to say what the White House guys were thinking.

John couldn't trust these old guys because of their greed, and he wouldn't completely trust Morgan either. It was better to part ways with them sooner rather than later to avoid future troubles. Besides, he had no interest in the Russians' funds; it wasn't something he could compete for, since too many people had their eyes on those funds.

Watching John's departing figure, the old men couldn't help but sigh. They hadn't expected John to know so much about the Russians and to have already figured out their plans. Even the economic experts from the White House sighed. It was clear that John didn't want to get involved or compete with them for the Russians' interests.

“Morgan, what do you think we should do? John, that little fox, is clearly not interested in this plan, and he knows far more about the Russians than we do. Perhaps he has a point. There are indeed changes within the Russians that we are unaware of. I think he is right!”

“John doesn’t want to get involved, and we don’t need to force him. Besides, since he’s given us directions, it means he’s not our enemy and doesn’t have any designs on the Russians. Our plans won’t be affected in any way, and we don’t need to worry about that. On the contrary, we need to worry about the situation in Europe. Those guys are really making a mess of things!”

"We can wait and see about the situation in Europe. We must deal with the Russians first. And I'm worried that John, that little fox, will trade nuclear weapons with the Russians and gain control of that power. We don't want to see that, and neither does the White House."

"No, John knows when to advance and retreat, he knows what he can and cannot do, and do you think he needs to do this? His direction is different from ours. He chose to target the Russians' technology, while we chose to target the Russians' finance. As long as we don't disrupt his plans, there will be no problem. When he said that, he was just warning you all not to mess with him. He doesn't want to be our enemy, but he's not without the ability to retaliate! From now on, I hope you can truly treat John as an equal, and stop underestimating him, and don't do anything that violates the rules."

After Morgan finished speaking, Rockefeller and the others nodded. At this moment, they all understood that John was not as simple as they thought, and that John's strength far exceeded their imagination. Otherwise, John would not have known about their plans in Russia, and at this time, they had no reason to be enemies with John.

"George, what brings you here? Representing your old man at our financial circle's cocktail party?" John smiled faintly when he saw Little Bush. He was somewhat surprised to run into Little Bush right after parting ways with the old guys; he hadn't expected the guy to come looking for him so quickly.

“Let’s go over there and talk. I’m not here on behalf of Dad, nor do I have the right to do so. You should know that the ones who represent Dad are those guys you saw earlier. I’m just a pawn to attract everyone’s attention.”

"Alright, I don't want to know what you're thinking. Whatever the White House's plans are, I won't interfere. I've already told those guys once that they're mainly focused on finance, while I'm mainly focused on industry. I'm more eager to further enhance my own strength, and this matter is not simple either, so I'm even less willing to get involved."

Soon John and Little Bush arrived at Laura's group, along with Jennifer Connelly. They seemed to be having a good time. With Little Bush's wife Laura there, the three of them were doing relatively well and were able to integrate into the circle. However, after some introductions, John couldn't help but sigh inwardly. In this small circle, John saw someone he didn't want to see: Jeffrey Epstein. This guy seemed to be from the Wall Street investment circle, but in reality, he was a pimping bastard.

John had already set up a modeling agency in New York, engaging in all sorts of deceptive and underhanded activities. John didn't want anything to do with him, nor did he want anyone around him to have any contact with him, otherwise there would be endless trouble in the future.

After John and Little Bush appeared, the guys quickly left. Anyone with a bit of sense understood that John and Little Bush had something to talk about, and it wasn't appropriate for them to stay. So they all chose to leave to avoid being disliked or hated. After all, everyone who came here had their own things to do.

“George, I advise you to avoid any further contact with that Epstein guy. He’s no good, and his lousy modeling agency is incredibly insidious. Getting involved with him will lead to endless trouble. Secrets don’t stay hidden forever; everything leaves a trace and will eventually be known. Besides, his reputation in the modeling world is terrible—he has no principles, no bottom line. You’re going into politics; it’s best to avoid any contact with him. Do you think such a dangerous and potentially problematic person might leave behind incriminating evidence during your dealings?” John’s words startled Little Bu Shi. With his intelligence, he instantly understood what John meant, his expression changing drastically. He nodded and said, “John, thank you for your advice. Otherwise, if I had any dealings with this guy, the consequences would have been severe. I’ll remember this favor!”

John shook his head and said, "It's not that serious. You don't understand, but I'm sure your old man knows perfectly well. To be honest, my modeling agency, and other companies, will not have any connection with this guy. I don't want to be implicated by him."

Christy Turlington, who had been in the modeling world for quite some time, knew about what John was talking about. However, Claudia Schiffer didn't know, and it seemed that Little Bush didn't know either, nor did Laura. After all, this guy didn't have the power he would later possess, nor had he reached that point of madness. Of course, the current United States wasn't as mad as it would be in later generations, and those guys weren't that arrogant. After all, the Americans still had an opponent: the Russians.

It's only after the fall of Russia and the unification of the world that the US goes crazy, and those guys become unscrupulous. Many forces drive everything, especially the media, which is almost entirely controlled by them. The reason John clings to the two major media conglomerates is because he's afraid of being schemed against by them. After all, he's not on their side, so he needs to be cautious and fully prepared.

Of course, John couldn't say too much about many things, leaving it at that. However, John wouldn't let his guard down. If those guys didn't restrain themselves, they would face his retaliation. In John's view, it was very abnormal for this guy to appear at Morgan's party. There was probably someone plotting behind it, and the target was very likely him.

If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, John would have liked to talk to the Morgan boss and find out who was behind this. If it were the Morgan boss and Jimmy, John wouldn't believe it; they had no reason to scheme against him. It seems there's going to be some turmoil within Morgan again. Perhaps this is the effect of the financial market; some guys are still not giving up.

The more John understood Jeffrey Epstein's true nature, what this bastard would do, his ultimate fate, and the madness that would later ensue in the American upper class, the less he dared to be careless. Even though this guy hadn't shown his claws yet, John still had to be cautious.

Of course, John had his own reasons for telling these things to Little Bush. He wanted to know if Old Bush knew everything behind the scenes, and whether the top officials in the United States were starting to go crazy and had already begun those crazy actions.

Since they weren't on the same side, John would be targeted by these guys in the future, so John needed to make full preparations. The targeting of Michael Jackson a few years later was just the beginning, so when John saw Jeffrey Epstein, he became more vigilant and had to be careful.

Xiao Bushi's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "You suspect someone is targeting you? That's impossible. Who would dare to continue targeting you at this time? Aren't they afraid of playing with fire and getting burned, or of your retaliation?"

At this moment, Xiao Bushi couldn't help but become wary. If someone dared to target John, did that mean he, the president's son, was also a target? What were those guys planning to do? Weren't they afraid of incurring public wrath?

“I do have such concerns. After all, there’s nothing those greedy guys wouldn’t dare to do. If they catch me red-handed, what do you think they’ll do? Do you think they might deliver a fatal blow? They won’t show any mercy to these guys. After all, I’m their mortal enemy. Those guys were among those who plotted against me before. Under these circumstances, how can I not be cautious?” As he said this, a faint, cold smile appeared on John’s face, which made Xiao Bu Shi’s heart skip a beat. He felt that John knew many secrets, some secrets that couldn’t be easily spoken.
