Returning to his office, the coffee on the table was already cold.

Yurisses and Josh sat silently. In the almost completely frozen atmosphere in the office, none of them spoke.

Yurisses's expression was calm, but he was extremely furious, half towards Joseph and the other half towards himself.

After the bloodbath in front of the White House, He hurriedly followed Josh downstairs. Then, he went to the surveillance room and took out the video. He looked back and forth several times. Although the process wasn't long, it wasn't short. Yurisses, who didn't take the phone, directly cut off contact with Joseph. That was enough time for Joseph to come over and report to Yurisses personally.

Another military base was destroyed. As the president, Yurisses had to know about this immediately.

The Marine Corps is the world's earliest elite force, the main force of the rapid reaction force of the United States, has a long and extraordinary history.

The Marine Corps has about 200,000 men and women, about one-ninth the size of the U.S. Army. It has five divisions and six air wings with 416 fighter jets. Since its inception on January 10, 1775, the Marine Corps has participated in every major U.S. Campaign, as well as in countless "police" operations and armed mediation around the world.

This could be said to be the largest and most elite military force in the United States. Compared to the title of First Armored Division like the Demonic Sword Armored Division, the Marine Corps did not have much of a number one position, but it was definitely the core of the U.S. Army.

The commander of the Marine Corps had always been a four-star general of the U.S. Army, and he was also one of the most powerful four-star generals, a top leader of the U.S. Army.

The Marine Corps' Base 6 in Baltimore had about 3,000 people. The ground scouting team was not the most elite, but the fact that they had been eliminated in a short period of time undoubtedly proved one thing.

That was, Lin Xuanyuan had already begun to attack the true core forces of the United States.

Lin Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan Qinghuan appeared again in Baltimore, a few hundred kilometers away from the ancient city and dozens of kilometers away from the Federation City, less than 12 hours after the bloodbath in the ancient city.

The base of three thousand people exploded in an hour.

If Joseph did not report this matter to Yurisses at the first moment he received the news, he would be remiss.

So Joseph didn't do anything wrong.

His mistake was to report the news at the wrong time.

That's wrong.

He shouldn't have said it in front of Josh, much less after Josh had confirmed that Lin Xuanyuan was the murderer in front of the White House. Yurisses told him that he had found a group of experts who could contend against Lin Xuanyuan.

It turned out that Lin Xuanyuan was not in Federation City at all, but in Baltimore, dozens of kilometers away.

Yurisses , on the other hand, told him that he had found a group of super experts.

Although there was no evidence, it was enough to make Josh have some rich associations.

"Mr. President, I don't know what the U.S. Government needs the help of the Skull and Bones Society. I'm still saying that. If there's a need, please don't hesitate, Mr. President. The Skull and Bones Society will carefully consider some of your requests."

In the extremely oppressive atmosphere, Josh finally spoke slowly. In a very short period of time, his gloomy and somewhat purple complexion began to quickly recover. Until he finished speaking, his complexion had completely calmed down.

"That's true."

Yurisses looked at Josh in surprise. However, since the other party had asked, he naturally did not mind following the other party's topic. "A war between the United States and the Divine Continent Empire could break out at any time. If possible, I hope the Skull and Bones Society can bear part of the economic pressure for the American government."

"How much do you need?"

The corner of Josh's mouth curved into a complicated arc as he asked indifferently.

Yurisses ' eyes lit up. He then said cautiously, "The first batch of funds would be about 20 billion yuan."

"Twenty billion?"

Josh muttered to himself. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Yurisses, saying word for word, "I'll give you 100 billion! But you must give me an explanation."

100 billion.

US $!

This number even exceeded Yurisses ' most optimistic estimate.

Without Joseph's sudden report, Yurisses had originally planned to ask for $50 billion. After all, this was the first batch of Skull and Bones Society's investment. The first batch had a second batch. One hundred billion was the first batch. This was definitely a pleasantly surprising and exciting number.

"Thank you, old friend. I knew you wouldn't disappoint me."

Yurisses said with a pleasantly surprised expression, "I will give the Skull and Bones Society enough rewards. I heard that the Skull and Bones Society is very interested in several large-scale construction projects in the country recently? I can get it for you. Also, I will convince Congress that the Morgan family's military and industrial enterprises are a little behind. You can work with military and industrial enterprises that belong to the government. Oh, by the way, I heard that the Morgan family has recently encountered some difficulties in investing in the Middle East? Petroleum is a good thing, and I'll talk to you about that, help you solve all your problems, and... "

"Thank you, Mr. President, for your generosity."

Josh replied calmly, as if he wasn't interested in Yurisses's promises. His eyes were still fixed on Yurisses's face and he said seriously, "But that's not what I want to explain. At the very least, it's more than that." Mr. President, you've found a group of super experts who can fight against the royal family. And Lin Xuanyuan is in Baltimore. But my people, the core force of our Morgan Clan's Creator Force, were just killed at the White House gate. We've all seen the surveillance just now. In more than 40 seconds, we killed 15 SSS + experts. Furthermore, the other party even used a helicopter gunship. Aren't you prepared to say something about this phenomenon? "I thought it was Lin Xuanyuan, but Lin Xuanyuan is not in Federation City now. I think people who can fight against Lin Xuanyuan can do this, right?"

Josh's words were clear and fluent, but in a few short sentences, he spoke out all the doubts in his heart, pointing the spear at Yurisses.

The smell of gunpowder in the office suddenly increased.

The stiff atmosphere became cold and murderous.

Near the two of them, Robin quietly sat upright. The corner of his eyes looked at Yurisses intentionally or unintentionally.

"You suspect me?!"

Yurisses said indifferently. His words were calm, but a trace of fierce anger flashed in his eyes. "Do you suspect that I let someone kill your people? What good would it do me? Josh, am I your enemy in your heart?"

"We are not enemies."

Josh said indifferently, "But we all know that neither of us is the closest friend of the other, right?" You can ask me for help, but I also have the right to refuse. If you send someone to kill the elites of the Morgan Family and push this matter onto Lin Xuanyuan, then I have a reason to act. Moreover, Lin Xuanyuan was not in Federation City. Apart from him, no one else in the Divine Continent Empire seemed to be able to kill fifteen SSS + experts in less than a minute, right? Most importantly, in the vicinity of the White House, the other party was actually able to use a helicopter gunship, and after killing everyone, he actually left directly? If my guess is correct, the Apache helicopter gunship is equipped with artillery shells and missiles, if... "

"There is no ifs!"

Yurisses suddenly stood up. Under Josh's mocking gaze, his body continued to walk around. After a long while, he stopped and looked at Josh. He said coldly, "Josh, what you said looks right, but don't forget, if the United States loses the war with the Divine Continent Empire, it won't benefit the Skull Society at all. Do you think the Imperial Clan will let the Skull Society off the hook?" No! You know the answer. So although you have the right to refuse, you don't have much choice, do you? Divine Continent Empire has a noun called "cold lips and cold teeth." You can't be ignorant of such a simple principle. So I'm sure you won't refuse, so there's no need to risk being discovered by you to kill your people! Also, how can you be sure that Lin Xuanyuan's faction doesn't have a third World-shaking Realm expert besides him and Xuanyuan Qinghuan? Moreover, whether the other party was World-shaking or not, it was not certain that the other party was not alone. Ten! "Ten people, in the event of a sudden attack, as long as you have the strength to kill fifteen SSS + level experts, even if it's difficult, it's not impossible to accomplish it."

"Also."

Yurisses pointed at his nose, his eyes brimming with anger. "Do I look like an idiot?" I knew that using a helicopter near the White House would arouse your suspicions, but I still used it? Am I that stupid? What do you think America's helicopter gunship is? A toy parked in an open space? Their ability to plunder helicopters speaks volumes about their strength, but don't they have to run? Do you think the enemy will be able to keep the missiles and artillery shells on the helicopter, even the machine gun bullets, after plundering a helicopter and arrive here without any loss? Are you stupid, or am I stupid! "?"

Josh remained calm as he listened to Yurisses's rebuttal. He had to admit that although the other party's rebuttal did not have any evidence, the logic behind it was completely reasonable.

"None of this will completely clear your suspicions, will it?"

Josh asked indifferently.

"That's right."

Yurisses nodded happily, but his eyes became colder and colder. "But now that the enemy is facing us, you actually suspect me. Josh, our old friend for many years, I'm very disappointed in you."

"Don't talk about these useless things."

"You shouldn't be disappointed in me," Josh said gloomily. "There's no reason for you to be disappointed in me. People in our position suspect that everything is flowing in our blood. I won't trust you easily, but I won't refuse to help you. "Whether or not you sent people to kill the fifteen Morgan Family warriors today, their deaths are your responsibility. You can't deny this, so I'll give you the money you want, but you can't refuse what I want!"

Tough, domineering, straightforward.

With the backing of the Morgan Family and the Skeleton Society, Josh was confident enough to face anyone.

"What would you like?"

Yurisses took a deep breath and said calmly.

"Two days from now, the Skull and Bones delegation will return to the White House. At that time, they will discuss with you all the requirements of the Skull and Bones Society."

Josh took a sip of the cold coffee in front of him and stood up.

In his opinion, today's conversation was over.

"Wait a minute. I haven't finished my request."

Yurisses's eyes twitched as he suppressed his anger and said slowly.

Josh raised his eyelids and looked at Yurisses without saying anything.

"In the next few days, I need the skeleton to help me build up my momentum. The louder the momentum, the better."

Yurisses looked at Josh and said seriously.

"Gather momentum? For the US government?"

Josh said in a puzzled tone, "It's not easy."

The US government controlled many large media outlets. If they wanted to whiten themselves, those media outlets would be enough. Perhaps it would be useless, but if it was the media outlets controlled by the Skeleton Society, the effect would not be better. Yurisses's meaning was very obvious. It was definitely not an easy task to ask the Skeleton Society to use money to brainwash the people.

"It's not for the U.S. Government. It's for Earlaen."

Yurisses sat down and lit a cigar, his tone exhausted.

"Earlaen? What is it?"

The vigilance in Josh's eyes flashed. He finally understood that this rally was Yurisses ' real purpose in meeting him today, compared to his previous economic plea for help.

"What is it?"

Yurisses smiled, implying that it was hard to understand, "An absolute expert who can contend against the Emperor, and also a future five-star general of the United States. What do you think he is?"

Five-star general! ! !

Josh's pupils contracted.

"Is this the condition of the group of experts you found? Five-star general? The other party wants military power?"

"Yes."

Yurisses nodded.

"And you actually agreed? You even want the skeleton to help him build up his momentum?"

Josh's tone was filled with ridicule and disbelief.

"I have no choice!"

Yurisses bellowed in a somewhat distressed tone.

"Yes, you may not have a choice, but I do. I won't agree to this!"

Josh sneered, his eyes glittering.

For hundreds of years, there had been two major forces in the United States sharing the highest authority in the country. One was the U.S. Government, and the other was the Skull and Bones Society.

Earlaen had never heard of this before, but now, he suddenly ran out and took away the position that symbolized the marshal of the military. Furthermore, Yurisses was talking about those experts.

This was equivalent to a force squeezing into the upper echelons of the United States, wanting to share the full power in his hands.

Josh had no reason to agree.

"I know you won't agree, that's why I invited you here."

Yurisses whispered, "So, sit down now and we can talk. I'll make you agree, because I'm prepared to pay the price."

He looked straight at Josh and said in a calm voice, "You can't leave until this matter is settled!"
