America: Starting with the Last Liberty

Chapter 178 "Accidental" Death 4K

In America, most problems can be solved with money.

If money can't solve the problem, it just means that not enough money has been spent.

For example, after Rosen paid $500,000 for treatment, the black market doctor introduced by Sweefa arranged everything by midnight that very night.

"Hello, Mr. Rosen."

"What's your name?"

"Benjamin Carlson".

Benjamin Carlson was a thin, middle-aged man in his forties who wore gold-rimmed glasses.

The guy's face was expressionless, radiating dejection.

He doesn't look like a highly skilled surgeon; he looks more like a forensic doctor working in a morgue.

Well, these two types of doctors seem to do pretty much the same things.

"Dr. Carlson, you should already know about the details of the surgery, right?"

Benjamin nodded at Eva, who was standing next to Rosen.

"Yes, I've done similar surgeries before, and it only takes an hour at most."

Although Benjamin has a rather melancholic demeanor, he still speaks with considerable confidence.

"Then let's get started quickly! The faster the better!"

"First, I need to perform a full-body CT scan on this woman. I need to locate the position of the locator before I can perform the surgery."

"The equipment is all ready, and we can start at any time."

Rosen went to great lengths, "borrowing" a CT scanner from a hospital just to scan the location of the locator.

Benjamin skillfully began operating the equipment, while Rosen waited outside, partly to guard against the assassin.

Fortunately, the battle at Castro's villa resulted in heavy losses for Walsh, and even though he was a high-ranking executive at the Continental Hotel in Los Angeles, it would be difficult for him to send out a large group of assassins again.

Assassins aren't like leeks, where you kill one crop and another grows back the next.

Training an assassin takes a lot of time, and even if all 40 assassins are low-level assassins, it is still a considerable loss.

So, an hour later, Benjamin Carlson successfully removed the tiny locator, about the size of a grain of rice, from Eva's neck.

"Dr. Carlson, thank you very much."

"Mr. Rosen, of course I'll do a good job since I've taken your money. I hope you'll come to me again for another good business opportunity like this."

o

Benjamin's dejected face broke into a smile; he had made a killing today, as Rosen had paid him almost double the price to perform the surgery.

There's no way around it; if you want someone to have their surgery expedited, you'll definitely have to pay extra.

Now that the threat to Eva has been eliminated, Rosen no longer needs to keep an eye on her and guard against Walsh's assassins.

However, Rosen did not destroy the locator he took from Eva, but instead carried it with him.

The next day, when Rosen returned to work at Fox Television, he received the guest list for the Miss America pageant from Megan.

"Rosen, every beauty pageant invites many guests, but the most important ones are definitely these Hollywood stars."

Hollywood stars are indeed heavyweights, but Rosen doesn't think Walsh would go to such lengths to kill a few Hollywood stars.

Perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, Hollywood stars are indeed dazzling, but in the eyes of the real upper class, they are just pretty vases.

Vases are things that break easily if you drop them even slightly.

Looking at the long list, Rosen's head began to ache.

Megan provided a list of names without identifying the individuals, and Rosen still needed to verify their identities.

"Meghan, are there any members of parliament on this list?"

"You mean the councilman? Yes! Councilman Adrian Moore will be attending the finals on Christmas Eve."

"Adrian Moore? That name sounds familiar! Megan, do you know what's been going on with him lately?"

Although Rosen also reads newspapers, Megan is a professional TV anchorwoman, and she is definitely more informed about current events than Rosen.

"This legislator is currently running for California State Senator and is far ahead in the polls. The station originally wanted to capitalize on his popularity, which is why we invited him to be a guest at the finals."

Fox News never expected the Miss America pageant to generate so much buzz today.

There's no way around it, the quality of this year's contestants is indeed high, especially Eileen, Audrey, and Jane.

As the competition progressed, Zhen's popularity gradually increased, and she is now in the top five.

Rosen realized that he hadn't done anything, yet Jane was already close to climbing into the top three.

The biggest factor affecting the third additional condition for the special agent contestants is now whether the finals can be held smoothly.

If the finals are affected, Jane will naturally not be able to get into the top three.

"I think Keith Troy's target is this Adrian Moore."

Rosen only learned yesterday from Gordon Cole that Walsh was also running for senator, and Adrian Moore must be his direct competitor, making the motive very clear.

The future Mexican president of African descent will be elected only because most of her rivals died "accidentally".

So everything Case did before was actually to cover up this purpose.

Rosen instantly figured out how to deal with Walsh.

America is not like the chaotic Mexico; there are still many respectable people in the political arena here.

Since they are respectable people, they are all very protective of their lives, and no one wants to be assassinated because of an election.

After all, if you can hire an assassin, so can he.

In this world of rigid social classes, the only fairness left is that everyone has only one life.

How could a decent person want to be killed like a street thug?

Once Walsh's behavior is exposed, he will definitely become the target of public criticism, and his former allies will certainly distance themselves from him!

But Megan still had some concerns.

"Rosen, should we inform the station and tell them not to invite Congressman Adrian Moore as a guest?"

"No! Megan, you have to understand, it might be even more dangerous if Adrian Moore didn't come. At least Fox News is right under the FBI's nose right now. And Keith Troy doesn't know we know his target yet—that's an opportunity!"

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!

Information is always the most important element in war, and this is not the first time that Rosen has used information asymmetry to turn the tide.

Megan nodded worriedly.

Rosen quietly patted Megan's shapely buttocks.

"Meghan, if you're under too much pressure, I can help you relieve it!"

Megan glanced at Rosen with a flirtatious look in her eyes.

"Screw you! I want to go to work tomorrow!"

"So you don't miss me anymore?"

Megan bit her lip. Rosen's words had only made her more impulsive.

"Pick me up from get off work tonight."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Megan left with a big smile, and Audrey came looking for her with a big smile as well.

"Rosen, is Ms. Kelly also a family member?"

Rosen glanced at Audrey, making no attempt to hide anything.

"It can't be considered that yet."

Audrey has a special charm, and Rosen always feels very relaxed when he talks to her.

So Rosen would sometimes talk to Audrey about many things related to relationships, and Audrey was probably the woman who knew Rosen the most.

However, Audrey did not reveal these things to Sophia or Swifa; only Jane obtained some information from Audrey through subtle questioning.

"That should be soon! By the way, Rosen, is there a girl who wants to join your family?"

Rosen thought Audrey was joking, but looking at Audrey's big, bright eyes, it seemed like she wasn't joking.

"Audrey, what are you doing?"

"Hehe! It's just that a girl saw you take off those ugly glasses and wanted to get to know you! Rosen, aren't you scared?"

Rosen's expression was very strange. He was naturally not afraid, since all those who could sign up for the Miss America pageant were women who were 18 years of age or older.

As long as he is 18 years old, Rosen will not be attacked by the unspeakable being.

He found it strange that Audrey would take the initiative to introduce him to women, and he began to suspect that Audrey had some kind of special fetish.

I've heard that some men have a habit of introducing their spouses to other women. Did Audrey have this particular fetish?

"Then let's meet. Who's this girl you're talking about?"

"You'll see when you get here!"

Audrey led Rosen by the hand to the lounge, where many girls were relaxing. The woman who wanted to get to know Rosen was also there.

"Eileen, I've brought the person you wanted to meet!"

"Ah! Audrey, what are you saying!"

Hearing Audrey openly share her feelings, Eileen felt her cheeks flush.

However, Eileen was somewhat disappointed to see that Rosen was still wearing non-prescription glasses.

"Eileen, didn't you say you wanted to get to know him?"

These words attracted the attention of the other contestants. Eileen couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over to cover Audrey's mouth. Then she pulled Audrey and Rosen to an empty dance studio.

"Audrey, are you deliberately raising your voice like that?"

Eileen stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Audrey.

"yes!"

Audrey actually admitted it, leaving Eileen speechless.

"Alright, alright! Let me introduce you. This is Rosen, and this is Eileen. Why don't you shake hands?"

As a man, Rosen took the initiative to extend his hand, and Eileen hesitated for a moment before shaking hands with him.

"Hello, Mr. Rosen."

"Hello, Ms. Eileen."

Eileen finally couldn't hold back and asked the question that had been on her mind.

"Mr. Rosen, why are you wearing those ugly non-prescription glasses?"

"You mean this?"

Rosen took off his non-prescription glasses, instantly releasing his hidden good looks. The huge contrast made Eileen feel as if she had been hit by a hammer, her face turning red and she began to sway as if she had drunk fake alcohol.

Some even showed signs of becoming unstable.

Audrey quickly helped Eileen up.

"Eileen, what's wrong?"

Rosen never imagined his face could be so devastating; it was truly outrageous.

Fortunately, Eileen was not seriously injured; she was just a little too emotional.

After recovering, Eileen felt extremely embarrassed; she had just lost face in front of someone she liked.

"Now I can answer your question. These glasses will save me a lot of trouble."

Rosen's words made Eileen a little embarrassed, but with Audrey, the little chatterbox, around, the atmosphere wasn't too awkward.

Eileen is somewhat like Audrey when she first met Rosen; she's very curious about Rosen's situation, but she doesn't have Audrey's...

They are bold, but even though they are curious, they dare not ask questions.

Audrey was the one asking questions for Eileen most of the time; the girl's performance today was like that of a perfect wingman.

The three chatted for a long time in the dance studio until Jane suddenly burst in.

"So you're here! Eileen, you got a call!"

Although the contestants handed in their cell phones, it was impossible for them to completely cut off all outside information, in case something happened at home.

Therefore, there are dedicated staff who watch the contestants' phones, and they will notify the contestants if someone calls.

"Is that a phone call? I'll get him back soon!"

Eileen glanced at Rosen with lingering interest before leaving the dance studio to answer the phone.

Jane then came to Rosen's side and looked at him with a strange expression.

"Jane, why are you looking at me like that?"

Upon hearing Jane mention the case, Audrey immediately looked at the two of them with great curiosity.

"Yes, there has been some progress. I have basically identified the mastermind behind it all, and their true purpose. Now..."

The problem is, how to get enough evidence to imprison the mastermind behind this.

Jane deduced something from Rosen's words.

"Who is the mastermind behind this?"

Rosen glanced at Audrey, whose ears were perked up beside him.

"Rosen, don't look at me! Just tell me!"

Audrey's thick skin left Rosen speechless, but Jane actually spoke up for Audrey.

"Rosen, Audrey is right. Since she's also a participant in the plan, she has the right to know certain things. Besides, Audrey has indeed helped me a lot during this time."

"Alright then, don't easily reveal this last surname. The person who orchestrated all of this is Walsh."

"Walsh!"

Jane reacted very strongly when she heard the surname.

"Jane, do you know this person?"

Jane nodded with a serious expression.

"Yes! I've heard my family mention this guy. They said he has a shady background and uses dirty tricks, and they told me to stay away from him if I run into him. I think he's a Los Angeles city councilman?"

Rosen nodded.

"Yes, he's running for California State Senator, and he's orchestrating these things to get rid of his opponent."

"So that's how it is! This guy's methods are indeed extremely ruthless! Rosen, since you knew Walsh was involved, why didn't you arrest him?"

"This guy is a city councilor; to arrest him, we need solid evidence. I already have some, but it's not enough. Ideally, we should catch Keith Troy and pry direct evidence from him that Walsh murdered his rival."

Hearing this, Jane could also sense Walsh's predicament.

Jane was silent for a moment, then seemed to have made up her mind.

"Rosen, if you need help, I might be able to ask my family for assistance."
