Hawington had a good life after he was captured.
At the very least, as a prisoner, he could be said to have been given special treatment.
Although he no longer had the glory he had when he was governor, and had been slapped by General Wu, his life had instantly improved after seeing Lin Xuanyuan.
Right now, he had left the simple prison that was filled with the stench in every corner of Dark Town. Instead, he moved to the only clubhouse in Dark Town and got a separate room. He became a neighbor with General Wu.
As a result, although there were no heavy guards around him to prevent him from escaping or being rescued, his chances of escaping were even lower.
Howington's room was big, Not as small as the room where General Wu and Military Counselor Rambo lived, living room, bedroom, separate kitchen, bathroom, Three meals a day and even a little red wine, Dark Town was different from Rhodes Town. The latter was the representative of Poverty Town in the United States. The former was the focal point of the Dark World. As one of the most luxurious buildings in the town, this club had done its best in terms of comfort and food. There were some food and red wine that it had never enjoyed when it was governor of Hawington.
It wasn't that he couldn't enjoy it, but that he didn't dare to enjoy it.
So if you put aside the unpleasant fact of being captured, Hawington's life here is really good, Perfect at least in terms of food, drink and accommodation, The only thing that made people unhappy was that following Huo Wenton's arrival, General Wu arranged for people to install a large number of cameras in his room. From the bedroom to the bathroom, there was every room, and there was more than one. Huo Wenton's every move was in front of General Wu, and there was no Internet, no TV, or even no tape recorder in the room.
Every time Huo Wenton enjoyed delicious food and fine wine, other than sleeping, he would only be stunned, or perhaps he would be thinking about something.
Huo Wenton was indeed thinking about it, but what he was thinking about was not the suggestion given to him by Lin Xuanyuan, but how to keep himself and the secret of the United States.
As a powerful governor, He knows most of America's secrets, The day-to-day operations of the United States, The secret operation of the Military Force, America's core base, America's military plans and progress in military research and development, The cooperation and contradictions between the various groups and executives of the United States, their true positions, objectives and motives in several wars, whether the United States is friendly towards other countries in the next few years, what kind of support the United States will give to its allies, and how will it suppress its opponents.
Wait. Everything...
As the world's number one superpower, the United States could be said to be full of secrets, but there were not many that Huo Wenton didn't know. This was also the most important value of his royal family. He knew very well that once these secrets were revealed, the entire United States would suffer an unprecedented fatal blow.
A country without secrets or without most secrets is not to be feared even if it is strong, because your opponent can see most of your trump cards.
So he couldn't say a word.
Said, is never recovered, the stench of eternity.
No matter what, Huo Wenton was still an American. He fought with Yurisses and Dabinett endlessly, but he still loved this country very much. Once he revealed the secrets in his heart, it would be the United States that would never recover, and it would be him that would be remembered for eternity.
When he was mentioned again, countless people in the United States would gnash their teeth at him, believing that he was a sinner, a clown, and a bastard who had destroyed the status of the United States.
He could not bear the charge.
Even if he died, he wouldn't be able to bear it.
Yes, even death.
Death was the last resort.
It's not the end yet, Hoventon did not intend to take extreme measures to end his life, At the very least, He still had some time to think of a solution, The hypnotist was still 10,000 kilometers away in the Divine Continent Empire, Before seeing him, Huo Wenton still felt that it was better to be alive. He had experienced professional anti-hypnosis training before. He hoped that hypnotists were not as outrageous as the rumors had it. He had already decided that if the hypnotist really came, or if he was sent to the Divine Continent Empire, he would take the initiative to end his life the moment he was about to be hypnotized.
He was afraid of death, but he was even more afraid of what would happen after he revealed the secret. Neither outcome was something he could afford. Comparatively speaking, death was easier to accept.
"Kacha..."
The sound of the door caused Huo Wenton to ponder.
Mr. Governor, who was already a prisoner, subconsciously turned his head. In his line of sight, his room door was pushed open by someone outside. He was completely impolite and courteous. General Wu walked in with a notebook in his hand, and the two of them collided in their line of sight.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I hope I didn't disturb Mr. Governor's rest. I should have knocked first."
General Wu stood at the door with a smile on his face and pretended to knock on the door.
"General Wu, you're too polite. If you really want to protect my privacy and leave me a private space, even if it's just a little private space, then no one will be watching me when I go to the bathroom."
Huo Wenton sneered.
General Wu didn't seem to understand what Huo Wenton meant. He walked into the living room with a smile on his face and said sincerely, "We don't want to do this either. To be honest, Mr. Governor, the surveillance of you going to the bathroom isn't amazing at all. I asked one of my capable subordinates to monitor you. Do you know what he did?" He told me while I was eating that you were constipated these past few days, This is disgusting, "But there's nothing I can do. Your identity is special and extremely important to us. I have to make sure that you are in our sight at all times. For this reason, I have to endure my subordinates discussing your constipation with me during my meal. And you have to be under our surveillance at all times. In general, we are both aggrieved. This is truly regrettable."
"Must?!"
Hawington sneered, "Even without surveillance, does Your Excellency think I can get out?" I'm just an ordinary person. Without power, I'm not even comparable to an ordinary person. I'm a prisoner now, understand? ! Damn prisoners! I live in this cage. Around me, there are two X-class masters and several Quasi-X-class masters. I can't even fly out with my wings. What's the point of keeping an eye on me? This is humiliating me! "
"X-class expert are also human, Not God, You're out of our sight, there is a possibility that something unexpected will happen, And the last thing I want right now, It was an accident, Oh, I forgot to tell the governor, We don't just have two X-class experts right now, but four, Two of them are no worse than me, Although they weren't really X-class, However, his combat strength could crush an ordinary X-class expert, "As time goes on, our strength in Dark Town will become stronger and stronger. Therefore, from my point of view, I advise you to cooperate with us as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the worse it will be for you. Your Highness is very impatient. If you really make up your mind to send you to the Divine Continent Empire, perhaps you will never be able to return in your lifetime, let alone rise again."
General Wu smiled and sat beside Huo Wenton. He opened his laptop and started to connect to the Internet.
"To stage a return?"
Huo Wendon sneered and said mercilessly, "Bullshit! Completely bullshit! Do you think I'm an idiot? Although I don't know anything about the United States, I can roughly imagine that I was captured here. Dabinett and Yurisses will take away my position as governor of Golden State and rise again. Why? With you guys? Ah?"
"That's right, it's all because of us."
General Wu chuckled. He poured himself a glass of water and took a sip. He said in a gentle tone, "We can help you get back on your feet. We just need you to make a deal with us. It's just a small deal."
"Governor of the Golden State of the United States, do not trade with any enemies!"
Huo Wenton looked coldly at General Wu, his tone resolute.
"How domineering!"
General Wu laughed and gave a thumbs up. He paused for a moment before continuing to laugh, "But you don't seem to be the governor of Golden State anymore. Furthermore, from the looks of it, although we are enemies, in the long run, we may not necessarily be friends. Mr. Governor, we are trying to help you."
"This isn't helping me."
Huo Wenton took a deep breath. He took out a cigar, lit it, and took a deep breath. He said expressionlessly, "General, "There's no point in saying all this. I know what you want, but I can tell you clearly that I don't know. I don't know anything about the United States. If you are patient until today, I'm willing to follow you back to the Divine Continent Empire. But you won't take a governor, you won't take Hoventon, you can only take a corpse."
He patted his chest with his cigar-clutching hand and sneered, "My corpse."
"Speak, or die. It seems that you chose the second option, right?"
General Wu frowned.
"Yes, this is my choice."
Huo Wenton's expression remained unchanged.
"Then I'll give you a third choice."
General Wu smiled and said, "You don't have to die, or you can choose not to tell us any secrets. Governor Howington, if I said that we have the power to revive you and are willing to let you return to the United States, are you willing?"
"What do you mean?"
Huo Wenton was finally moved.
"It's literal."
General Wu smiled and said, "It's also a deal. Of course, if you say that the Governor of the Golden Province doesn't make a deal with any enemies, then pretend that I haven't said anything."
Huo Wenton fell silent.
He refused to use the secrets of the United States to make a deal with the enemy. That was his bottom line.
But above this bottom line?
He knew very well that with him being captured, the Howington Group would surely suffer a fatal blow in the United States.
If...
If we can really make a comeback...
Thinking of this, Huo Wenton couldn't help but feel excited.
"What would you like?"
Huo Wenton took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and slowly asked.
"Before answering Mr. Governor's question, I should give you something. This is a small gift. I think you will definitely like it."
General Wu smiled and shook his head. He operated the laptop a few times and opened an audio interface.
"Listen, I guarantee that you will be pleasantly surprised."
