Crossover: Is this how it's sewn?

Chapter 84, Section 082: A Dead End

Xu Zhenqing wasn't embarrassed at all; he simply joined in because he was there for this dish of vinegar-wrapped dumplings.

The Japanese government practically worshipped Xu Zhenqing the moment he left Japan.

The Onmyoji who was specifically responsible for protecting the Japanese Imperial Family was right next to him, but Xu Zhenqing sensed a hint of coercion, or rather, fear that he would do whatever he wanted if he stayed, so he made a show of wanting him to leave quickly.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Laurent had already smuggled herself over by boat, killed two senators, and had the White King Cross skeleton, which was kept at a Japanese shrine, stolen by the other party. Lu Shu was preparing to make a big move. In addition, the East Sea Team from the Infinite World descended into the real world, and Xu Zhenqing's own scythe was also ready to be used.

But none of this has anything to do with Xu Zhenqing. His Excellency Xu Zhenqing, Chairman of the Earth Council, is about to visit his loyal Washington.

Before the fighter jets landed at Washington Airport, the entire airport was shut down to welcome Xu Zhenqing, and all personnel had practiced again and again.

Those politicians who oppose the true bishop desperately want Xu Zhenqing to check and balance the true bishop, so that he can feel at home.

Xu Zhenqing strolled off the fighter jet. In the distance, a surging crowd of reporters was intercepted by soldiers. The politician behind the Laurent family, an American in his seventies, walked over with a smile and shook hands.

Xu Zhenqing recognized this guy. After Marcus died, this was the last member of parliament to request an increase in the Marcus family's political donations, though the increase was not significant.

After Xu Zhenqing became the chairman of the Planetary Council, the others lowered their demands to an all-time low. If it weren't for the need to maintain contact and the fact that Umbrella was not short of money, they would probably have been willing to pay out of their own pockets.

These politicians are now holding their heads high, as if they have won a great victory. Some are even discussing sending their outstanding daughters and granddaughters away to solidify their power and interests.

These congressmen who rely on the medical and elderly care sectors have already made a fortune. Over the years, the American people have invested a huge amount of money in retirement, totaling $39 trillion. After the country disintegrates, they only need to call for taking over, but in reality, they only need to contribute a quarter or less, or play a decreasing game, and eat up the remaining pension funds.

The people of the United States suffered greatly, and Jerome Powell and the military-industrial complex were branded as villains.

Alicia stood gracefully and obediently behind Xu Zhenqing, following closely behind. This level of conversation made her a little reserved. Xu Zhenqing held her soft hand, their fingers intertwined.

The newly formed nation cannot be ruled by a single Catholic priest, otherwise it would be too undemocratic. There must be two governing bodies to give the people limited choices.

The pharmaceutical industry chain, represented by Umbrella, is one of the two major ruling parties.

At the Stark Group headquarters, Tony felt somewhat helpless. If his family hadn't transformed into the energy industry in time, they would probably have been directly involved in this political and political mess. However, he also understood that he had to hurry up and choose sides.

In this genius's eyes, there are now three factions in the United States: a collapsed Wall Street-military-industrial complex and the Phoenix Society plus S.H.I.E.L.D.; American elite groups and the True Bishops; and the last one is the medical industry chain and Xu Zhenqing.

The military-industrial complex is Tony's old business. It's favored by "Kerr" by Tony's side, and she's even a minor leader within it. Xu Zhenqing has also dealt with Tony before, which gives Tony a headache. As the helmsman of Stark Industries, he has to consider this carefully.

Moreover, each of these three companies has its own advantages and disadvantages, making it really difficult to choose.

Various media outlets began reporting on the political situation, with some lawmakers proposing to sell off the aircraft carrier and overseas military bases to fill the funding gap, which is essentially digging the grave of the military-industrial complex.

The following day, Xu Zhenqing appeared at a banquet hosted by high-ranking members of the medical industry chain, skillfully handling these intricate relationships. This was to endorse his position as chairman of the Planetary Council, and in turn, he could provide military support for these vampires.

At the banquet, Xu Zhenqing saw an old acquaintance, Natasha Romanov. Although the other party had changed her appearance, she could not escape Xu Zhenqing's keen eyes.

Natasha Romanoff is now dressed in a ladylike outfit, seemingly playing the daughter or granddaughter of a wealthy man, standing pitifully in a corner, looking as if she has been isolated.

Xu Zhenqing brushed past the other party, but Alicia's eyes lit up. If it were a venture capital genius from a foreign land, she would regard him as her own, but the current Chairman Xu would only let her manage the harem.

As the head of the Marcus family, Alicia clearly knew her place in Xu Zhenqing's heart, and Xu Zhenqing was not the kind of person who would hang himself on one tree.

Moreover, since she doesn't cry or make a fuss, would Xu Zhenqing mistreat Alicia, who has shared hardships with him?

It was with these considerations in mind that Alicia walked up to Natasha Romanov, took her hand, and started chatting about her family and friends.

Mingnuan, whose high heels were almost worn out, could only cast envious glances.

To put it bluntly, this banquet was a social gathering specifically for Xu Zhenqing, or a small-scale talent show.

However, Xu Zhenqing looked down on these ordinary women, but there were some who were truly eye-catching.

Wearing an elegant black dress with blue ribbons, her short, permed hair with silver and blue ends reaching her neck, she sat by the window, swinging her beautiful long legs back and forth.

Turning her head, she was greeted by pale blue, sea-like pupils, a delicate and pretty nose, rosy lips, an exquisite face, and the body of a girl still developing.

The latest novel is first published here!

It's as if a goddess from a story has stepped into reality, making you feel like you're in a dream.

What surprised Xu Zhenqing the most was not the other person's outstanding appearance, but that the other person did not actually exist. At least, he was the only one who could see the other person at the entire banquet, as if the other person was projected by some kind of force.

Xu Zhenqing calmly asked in the other person's mind, "Who are you?"

"I don't know." The girl looked at Xu Zhenqing with her light blue eyes and answered nervously, her voice soft and delicate, like the sound of heaven.

Upon closer examination, it seemed that the other party was not speaking any language that Xu Zhenqing knew, but he could still understand the other party's meaning based on the fluctuations in their mental state.

Xu Zhenqing continued his interrogation, knowing that if the other party made the slightest move, Bo Gang would suffer the same fate: "Why don't you know? Is it because you really don't know, or because you're unwilling to tell me?"

"I emerged from a liquid gem, but then the gem was stolen, and I've been wandering this world ever since. You're the only one who can see me," the girl replied, biting her lip and looking aggrieved.

Xu Zhenqing could clearly sense that the other person was overjoyed, as if it was because she finally had someone to talk to and was no longer lonely. He thought to himself that this girl was not speaking her mind and was obviously a fan who was actually a villain.

"Could you describe in more detail what kind of gemstone it was, and who specifically stole it?"
