Chapter 1097: Chapter 131: Key Node in a Turbulent Era (Haven’t Hit 10,000 in a Day for a Long Time Hahaha)_6

He was reflecting.

Actually, I shouldn’t have come.

Coming here just makes me seem less sophisticated.

Sitting at home waiting for the results would have been more poised.

I’ll make sure to remember this next time!

It turns out, everyone is striving to become the person they want to be.

Wang Weiheng wants to be a fortunate and successful person who defies destiny.

Old Li wants to become a street godfather who overcomes all obstacles and a king of the night.

They all have bright futures!

“Mr. Niusen, nice to meet you!”

Gru pretended to be reserved as he sat beside Niusen, but the warm sofa didn’t make him feel comfortable.

When the tension within a person reaches a certain point, any external influence is significantly diminished.

“I heard from Will that you want to secretly join me?”

After much maneuvering, Mr. Governor finally decided to be straightforward and direct.

“Yes, Chan and Temir have gone too far.

They always want to reap rewards that do not match their strength. To this end, their arrogance leads them to repeatedly toy with risks and friends.

I’ve had enough, and I think everyone around them has too!.

Therefore, I want to have a frank and thorough conversation with you.”

Gru’s words were full of inflection, but Niusen’s face showed a barely contained gloom.

“Gru, if I remember correctly, we were once friends, but your understanding of friendship seems to differ from most people’s.

Now you tell me you want to secretly join me. How can I trust you, or rather, should I trust you? Please, ask yourself.”

To Niusen, Gru was just a rookie.

Will’s concerns or perhaps his secretive moves were unnecessary, no matter what he said, Niusen would always see Gru as a rookie.

“Trust is built slowly, Mr. Niusen, I think you will see my sincerity in our future interactions.”

Gru was so ‘sincere’, with Jax’s assistance, they believed they had figured out the Leader’s intention.

Just follow orders, no need to overthink.

Allying with Niusen wasn’t a bad thing for them, if the Leader lost, they would have an exit.

If the Leader won, they could use the excuse that this was following the Leader’s orders even for this ‘betrayal’.

Either way, they win. Jax felt a chill inside, but they had no choice.

In the game of the bosses, even Gru and LAPD were just add-ons.

“What can you do for me?”

The Governor asked.

In the end, it all comes down to actions. If Gru’s allegiance is just lip service, the Governor would naturally have a response.

“I can temporarily stay put, Mr. Governor, if Chan or Temir gives me an order, I will absolutely not listen!”

Seeing Gru’s ‘solemn’ face, Niusen felt as if he had eaten a fly.

Whether they give orders or not, isn’t it just up to you?

But the most nauseating part is that Niusen can’t refuse Gru’s allegiance—can’t make Gru an enemy.

Equally unpleasant is that once Niusen accepts Gru’s allegiance, he can’t work with Gasetti to deal with the LAPD’s underground forces.

Everything is jammed—it’s all stuck right in Niusen’s chest.

This move by the Leader was supremely clever.

“What was their latest order to you?” Niusen asked blandly.

Let’s see how you respond!

“They told me to prepare to deal with Lake.”

You can ask whatever, I’ll answer whatever~

This round, Mr. Sheriff prioritizes loyalty to the Leader.

The answer was so bland it was worthless and did not please Niusen, so the Governor pressed on.

“How do you plan to deal with Lake?”

Gru’s eyes flickered, as he replied with a question.

“Am I allowed to deal with Lake, meaning—do you support me?”

You haven’t even agreed to my allegiance, but I’m already starting to ask for conditions.

Mr. Sheriff banked on Niusen not refusing, as refusing would mean pushing Gru to the opposing side.

Hearing Gru’s question, Niusen’s brow furrowed even more.

Gru, this bastard, isn’t delaying at all. He’s only interested in the power allocation within LAPD.

From gifting gold to questioning today, Gru always had clear demands.

But for Niusen, this was not something easy to agree to.

If he let Gru deal with Lake, then in the future, his cooperation with Gasetti would fall apart again and damage his reputation for being too duplicitous.

If he didn’t support Gru in dealing with Lake, then he would seem too stingy, not enough to support his subordinates.

On one side is the Democratic Party unitedly dealing with the Leader—on the other side is appeasing Gru—a small picture, Niusen and the Leader at this moment became a unified entity, and as leaders, it’s hard for both of them.

“Sure, I’m willing to be friends with you, Gru, I know Lake’s situation, but considering other impacts, it’s best to be cautious with this matter.”

Noticing the change in Gru’s expression, Niusen inwardly cursed and added in.

“What I mean is, this can be done, but now is not the right time, we must deal with the California Elephant Party first.”

Gru’s eyes flickered as he replied.

“As you command, Mr. Niusen!”

Poor Will, his little schemes seemed like a joke in the face of big contradictions.

Niusen couldn’t refuse Gru’s allegiance, no matter the cost, he couldn’t refuse.

“Donald, you’d better not move around too much, we finally managed to sleep together.”

Melania didn’t open her eyes, she grumbled with her eyes closed.

The blond old boy might be old, but his body isn’t. When feeling conflicted, the seventy-year-old boy still tosses and turns in bed.

But this made the First Lady dissatisfied.

They usually slept in separate rooms. It was rare for them to sleep together, yet the old boy wouldn’t stop fidgeting.

Is this appropriate?

This is not appropriate.

“Okay.”

The Great Commander might be a force to be reckoned with outside, shaking the world with a mere gesture, but at home, he’s just an older middle-aged man.

Many people misunderstand the control a super-rich person has over life, but in reality, no matter how wealthy, he has his own frustrations in marriage.

Thinking about today’s call with Temir, the Great Commander didn’t have the slightest bit of sleepiness.

Someone once said that life is short and pitiful, lasting less than a hundred years.

But the Great Commander believes most moments in life are insignificant, and the truly brilliant ones might add up to less than a hundred days.

And today’s call with Temir was undoubtedly one of those brilliant moments.

Thinking about these troublesome things, the seventy-year-old boy slowly drifted into sleep.
