Chapter 617 What Did You Just Say?

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

As for Yurisses, an office that countless people wanted to enter a few years ago, Josh was no stranger, Skull and Bones has had a delicate relationship with the U.S. Government in recent years, But to be honest, Cooperation is more important than conflict, the United States' hegemony has been very stable in recent decades, Every president of the United States, can be said to be the most powerful person in the world, To be able to reach this position, Every president may not be arrogant and domineering, But pride is essential, There will be no fire in America's backyard, The Skull and Bones Society secretly controlled the election. Even if they were unable to determine the candidate for the presidency of the United States, they would definitely not let anyone who had a very discordant relationship with the Skull and Bones Society go on stage. More or less, the Skull and Bones Society supported the president who could go on stage. Even if the other party's stance would change after he went on stage, he would not go to fight to the death with the Skull and Bones Society.

Unlike the supremacy of the Divine Continent Empire, in the United States, the dollar was the real God, omnipotent.

Anyone who wanted to fight against the Skull Society, which controlled most of the wealth of the United States, had to consider the consequences.

Therefore, it was reasonable that Josh and Yurisses were very familiar with each other.

In this office, Since Yurisses took office, Josh runs almost every year, Josh had seen Yurisses ' high spirits, Yurisses ' complacency, and Yurisses ' solemn worries in this office, but this was the first time Josh had seen Yurisses ' despondency and sorrow.

That's right, it was desolation and desolation.

The generation of presidents who had been praised by the media and trusted by the public for the past few years now had a smile on their faces, but every action they took gave off a feeling of helplessness that they were at the end of their road.

Yurisses personally led the way, neither fast nor slow. Occasionally, he would turn around to look at Josh, as if he was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with him. This kind of posture was extremely low for a country's president. Josh smiled as usual on the surface, but his heart began to be on guard.

Although Yurisses was somewhat depressed now, But the president is the president, He was in the middle of a few years, has nurtured a political bloc in the United States that no one can ignore, Despite the intense pressure in the near future, President Yurisses is in a precarious position, The power in his hands had also shrunk drastically, However, there were still a large number of people who were loyal to Yurisses. They were all people in various important positions in the United States. Although the number of these people had begun to shrink, the rest were loyal, cohesive, and even stronger. At this time, if Yurisses made up his mind to be tough, it would be enough to make anyone fearful.

In other words, even if Yurisses was in a state of despair now, it would be better to put on such a low posture in front of him.

Josh knew very well, Today's meeting, Yurisses must have wanted something from Skull and Bones, But what do you want, However, he was not very clear about it, As far as he could imagine, All the other party was asking for was money, In a few days, the United States suffered heavy losses, The Census Bureau and the Ministry of Finance can calculate the number of pensions, The Skull and Bones Association's statistics were definitely not far off. Tens of billions of dollars in pensions, the loss of a large number of people and labor, the destruction of buildings, military bases, military equipment, and the loss of the U.S. Army's combat strength. If these were converted into money, the U.S. Had lost at least two trillion dollars in the near future.

This kind of loss did not seem obvious now, but in the future, it would be exposed one by one.

Most importantly, after paying such a huge loss, the United States still hadn't officially begun a war with the Divine Continent Empire.

This was just a loss from before the start of the war.

Once the war officially begins, how much does the U.S. Government need to spend on the economy?

War, to a certain extent, was a competition of economic strength. Just like military strength, economic strength was also the most important indicator of a country's strength. Economic strength was weak, and in the end, the war would most likely be dragged down by an enemy with a strong economy.

Divine Continent Empire and the United States were both truly developed top powers. There was a gap in strength, but it was definitely not too great a disparity. In a war between the two sides, it would be very difficult for one side to drag down the other. Even if it really did, the victorious side would be at the end of its rope. If one wanted to relieve this pressure, financial support from outside the government was undoubtedly the best way.

The Skull and Bones Society was Yurisses's best source of help.

Asking for help and needing financial support was easy to say. Josh could give him some support, but judging from Yurisses's posture now, it was clear that the other party was not asking for money so simply. He was definitely asking for a lot of money.

Unknowingly, the smile on Josh's face dimmed slightly, and his vigilance in his eyes grew stronger and stronger.

A thunderclap that could shake the entire city suddenly rang out, and it was clearly audible in the soundproofed White House.

Yurisses's eyes lit up as he pushed open the door of the office and waved his hand to the secretary to leave.

His meaning was obvious, but neither Josh nor the old man beside him, alias Robin, seemed to have seen it. The expressionless old man followed behind Josh and sat quietly on a chair near the door.

A distance that can cope with any sudden situation at any time.

Yurisses narrowed his eyes slightly and hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything else. He sat down with Josh in the reception area, took out a box of cigars from the drawer and placed it on the table. He smiled and said, "This is a cigar made by the government. It tastes good. It hasn't been put on the market yet. Try it."

"Have one."

Josh smiled warmly and calmly. If Yurisses wanted to create a good atmosphere for the conversation, Josh naturally wouldn't refuse. The other party was considering the pressure from the Skull and Bones Society after rejecting the U.S. Government. Josh himself also needed to consider the consequences of rejecting Yurisses.

This was a conversation where both sides were satisfied with their harvest, and no one could afford to be careless.

Yurisses smiled and pushed the cigar in Josh's direction. He stood up and personally poured coffee, but he was wondering how to change the topic next.

Josh had an appointment today. He hoped that the Skull and Bones Society would be able to share some of the economic pressure on the United States. No matter how heaven-defying the Skull and Bones Society was, it was still on the territory of the United States. As the current president of the Skull and Bones Society and the patriarch of the Morgan Clan, Josh must have thought about this matter and would not reject it.

The most central topic was about Atlas's Patriarch, Earlaen, who was a five-star general.

This was definitely not an easy topic.

Yurisses brought over two cups of coffee, ignoring Robin, who was sitting nearby. He placed the coffee in front of Josh with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Josh understood, took the initiative to speak, smiled and said, "Mr. President, have you encountered any problems?"

He took a sip of the coffee in front of him and continued, "If there's anything I need to do with the Skull and Bones Society, I think I can help."

"Bang!"

Before Yurisses could speak, the door of the office was directly knocked open. The power was so great that the entire door slab smashed into the wall, making a loud noise.

The coffee cup in Josh's hand shook abruptly, and the brown coffee spilled out a little.

Yurisses's eyelids twitched fiercely as he raised his head and looked at the secretary who had forgotten to conceal his horror.

"What happened? Sandy, did you forget to knock? I have something important to talk to Mr. Josh!"

Yurisses frowned, his tone angry and high.

"President... Mr. President..."

"Killed, all dead, they actually killed in front of the White House … Mr. Josh's people … were all killed!" The secretary's face was filled with fear as she reported incoherently.

"What?!"

Before Yurisses could react, Josh immediately jumped up. The speed of an X-class expert instantly erupted. The secretary's vision blurred. In the next moment, his body was already in Josh's hands.

In his line of sight, the Morgan Clan's Clan Chief's pair of abruptly red eyes stared fixedly at him, "What did you say?! Say it again?!"

The secretary's heart went cold. He wasn't a big shot in the United States, but he was still the secretary of the president. He had a thorough understanding of the current situation in the United States. Now that the president had made an appointment with Josh, he was undoubtedly asking for help. He had a request for help and lacked confidence. Even if the furious Josh killed him, the president probably wouldn't say anything else.

The secretary trembled and carefully said, "Mr. Josh... you... your subordinates have just been attacked."

"Who did it?!"

Josh's voice was almost roaring. He was one of the fifteen absolute experts with the lowest strength, SSS +. How long had he only been up? At most, it would only take two to three minutes. In such a short amount of time, all of his core subordinates had actually died? Not even a single person ran out, could it be that they were all made of paper?

That was the backbone of the Morgan Clan, the pillar that supported the Creator's Super Force. Once they died, the entire Creator Force would suffer a complete weakening, and it would no longer lose its reputation as a super elite force.

Josh's heart twitched and he was in pain.

"No... I don't know."

The secretary almost peed her pants and stammered.

"Bastard!"

Josh completely lost his rationality in his rage. He swung the secretary up with both hands and smashed her heavily against the wall.

In the next moment, Josh's body disappeared from the office.

Robin disappeared with him.

Speed is irregular.

Joseph narrowed his eyes again. Without looking at the secretary who was knocked unconscious on the wall, he quickly rushed downstairs and dialed the phone to the surveillance room.

Outside, there was a heavy rain.

Two minutes later, Yurisses reappeared outside the White House.

In the rain, Josh's sturdy figure stood upright. The miserable scene had not been cleaned up yet, and he could see everything in front of him.

Murray's limbs were completely shattered unlike a human being. Lachesis, whose heart had been kicked out by a kick, and the other elites, who had even been beheaded by a knife, were shattered.

Corpses everywhere.

Blood was washed away by the heavy rain, but broken limbs were everywhere.

Old Man Robin looked at the corpses seriously, and his expression immediately became serious. "The one who attacked was an expert."

He said calmly, "There is no way to analyze the number of people at present, but there is definitely an expert among them. Lachesis was killed by a single blow and has no ability to retaliate. I know her strength very well, at least I can't do that."

"So?"

Josh's expression was cold and gloomy, with extreme suppression of anger.

"So … at least one of the attackers was a supreme expert. Their movements were so fast that even the people in the White House couldn't react in time."

Robin's tone became more and more calm.

The reward of 200 million dollars a year was not so easy to get. Just a glance at the scene made Robin feel an extremely wild killing intent pouring into his face through the rain. It was so oppressive that he almost couldn't breathe.

He suddenly rejoiced that if he hadn't entered the White House with Josh earlier, he might have had his own corpse lying here.

Josh suddenly turned around and stared fixedly at Yurisses, who had also walked into the rain and arrived beside him.

"Mr. President, those who died here were all the most elite warriors of the Morgan Clan. They were all the core forces of the Creator's Army, but now they are dead. They died in front of the White House, in the heart of the United States. As President, you should give me an explanation!"

His words sounded loud and clear.

In his rage, Josh put on a posture that he didn't hesitate to fight Yurisses .

Yurisses's pupils instantly shrank as he said with a serious expression, "Of course, I've already called someone to get the surveillance footage. Josh, I think we should watch it. At the very least, we should be sure who the murderer is. What do you think?"

"Of course."

Josh's cold voice was filled with killing intent. He didn't even care about the corpse on the ground, and he couldn't wait to enter the White House again, heading straight for the surveillance room.

Five minutes later.

In the surveillance room, the footage is played back.

Yurisses and Josh walked into the White House side by side, chatting and laughing on the giant HD screen.

Among the fifteen SSS + experts, Lachesis said something to Murray. A minute later, Berserk Lightning and the giant boulder descended!

The sound was perfectly combined.

Then, the war began.

In other words, it was the beginning of the slaughter with a knife!

Light flashed and gunshots rang out.

But Josh was already in the president's office, and the gunshots were blocked by the soundproofed office.

Josh subconsciously glanced at the small window with a gloomy expression.

Inside the small window was the interior of the White House at the time of the massacre.

The Oval Office can isolate gunshots, but they can always reach the White House.

Sure enough, the moment the gunshots rang out, a figure flashed inside the White House. A team of at least 30 people rushed towards the White House's entrance at an extremely fast speed.

On the surveillance screen, the number representing the time was constantly flickering.

43 seconds.

The massacre is over.

Ten Oriental faces flickered in front of the surveillance cameras.

Afterwards, the ten of them didn't even look at the corpse on the ground and grabbed the rope thrown down from the cabin.

The rope was quickly pulled high, and the helicopter gunship in the air quickly flew away.

It was only at this time that the White House team had just rushed out of the White House's main entrance.

Quick.

As powerful as a thunderbolt.

Nothing could react.

The Creator's core power, which Josh valued the most, didn't even have a chance to resist in front of the enemy. Almost everyone was instantly killed!

Josh's eyes narrowed tightly, his anger carrying an unconcealable sense of fear.

"Lin Xuanyuan!!!"

Josh gritted his teeth and looked at the screen. He howled word by word, his eyes filled with resentment.

The young man who killed Murray and Lachesis on the screen was undoubtedly the strongest amongst the attackers. Although he didn't wear a mask, Lin Xuanyuan was the only one with the strength of a Martial Saint and a young Oriental who met this requirement!

"He must die!"

Josh said coldly.

"Yes, he must die!"

Yurisses replied without hesitation, his face filled with embarrassment and anger.

He had only made an appointment with Josh today, but the other party had just arrived at the White House. In less than five minutes, Josh's trusted subordinates were directly slaughtered at the entrance of the White House.

This was equivalent to slapping Yurisses in the face, causing him, the president, to lose face.

"Tell me, Mr. President, what kind of support do you want the skeleton to give the U.S. Government? I will carefully consider all your requests!"

Josh's tone was cold, but he didn't lose his mind completely. After saying this, he immediately changed the topic and said indifferently, "But similarly, regarding today's matter, I also need the US government to give me an explanation. The Morgan Clan warriors cannot die in confusion!"

Without a doubt, this was asking for a price.

The Skeleton Society helped Yurisses, but it wasn't free. Yurisses naturally had to report to the Skeleton Society, and with the tragic deaths of fifteen top SSS + experts, Yurisses naturally had to give the Morgan Family a bigger reward.

Yurisses's eyes lit up and he took a deep breath. He seemed to have found the best opportunity. He muttered, "Well, I've already found a group of experts who can contend against Lin Xuanyuan and even the Emperor, but..."

"Bang!"

Before Yurisses could finish his words, the door to the surveillance room was pushed open again.

Vice President Joseph of the United States, who had already left work, returned to the door of the surveillance room. He glanced at Josh and nodded casually. "Mr. President, I just received news that Lin Xuanyuan appeared in Baltimore. Fifteen minutes ago, Marine Corps Base 6 in Baltimore was destroyed!" He said hurriedly. Fifteen minutes ago, fuck, this bastard! "

Fifteen minutes ago.

Lin Xuanyuan.

Baltimore...

Yurisses ' expression stiffened, and the anger in his eyes flashed.

At the same time, Josh turned around and his eyes instantly became incomparably deep.

"Mr. President, what did you just say? A group of experts that can contend against the Emperor and Lin Xuanyuan?"

Josh stared at Yurisses and asked slowly.

...
