My American magical life
Chapter 915 - 915 69_2

915: Chapter 69_2 915: Chapter 69_2 For Yusuf, being a technologically-oriented Deputy Director of the NTIA, he had ridden the wave of America’s internet industry to reach this position, but he had also hit the ceiling.

He wanted to reach a higher position, and just hard work alone was no longer enough.

“Haha, Mr.

Yusuf, since you work in Washington D.C., when you have time, you should visit my aunt more often.”

Geweil first dangled an empty promise, hinting at a future appointment, before stating his demands.

“How do you see the Great Commander’s investigation into BEC?”

How could he see it?

What could Yusuf think?

This wasn’t a question, but a clear-cut entreaty of interests!

BEC was a project in which the Governor of California had personally participated in an ICO, and the person demanding the investigation of this project was the Great Commander!

And Niusen was a California Rancher; Geweil, the Governor’s brother, came to see the very Deputy Director of the NTIA who was in charge of investigating BEC; Deputy Director Yusuf was also from California.

Anyone with the slightest political sensitivity could sense what Geweil was implying.

“Cryptocurrency is a new thing.

I’ve been paying attention to this blockchain-based technology for years…, Mr.

Geweil, when cutting-edge technology is combined with the most covert capital, problems easily arise.

From…, the number of Thunder incidents is countless.

The Great Commander’s investigation into BEC might seem to only target BEC, but in reality, it’s conveying his own stance toward cryptocurrency.”

As a bureaucrat with a technical background, Yusuf’s mindset seemed highly pragmatic.

He dissected the issue from both a technological and capital perspective to give his response.

But this wasn’t what Geweil wanted to hear.

“What do you mean?”

Not loyal enough!

“What I mean is, Mr.

Geweil, the Great Commander’s actions are far from simple.

We need to consider the whole picture…”

Director Yusuf indicated he can handle the matter, but they need to show him how important this was to them.

He was not some obscure nobody; he could pick sides and pay homage, but he had to be sure that he wouldn’t be the one sacrificed.

If the California Clique expects me to help you dodge the Great Commander’s investigation, then you need to show me your sincerity that you won’t double-cross me.

Taking sides is a two-way street.

Geweil, as a veteran lobbyist, understood Yusuf’s point.

“This matter must not blow up.

Do you understand?

Besides, if anything goes wrong, you could actually return to California.

Washington D.C.

might be America’s power center, but there are too many people in that center.

California’s a great place, isn’t it?”

Time to raise the stakes!

The California Clique can push against the Great Commander; finding a position for Yusuf would be a piece of cake for America’s strongest regional political group.

Considering the trivial amount of money Governor got trapped in, Geweil’s promise is quite a generous one.

“California…

What would I do if I went back?”

Yusuf stopped pretending; if things go south and he becomes the price to pay, he needs compensation.

“You might not necessarily have to go back, but if you do, it could only be temporary.

We can arrange a position for you in Congress, in the State Assembly, or within the state.

Mr.

Yusuf, this is just a minor inconvenience, an insignificant little trouble, do you understand?”

The Deputy Director took a moment of silence, finally nodding.

“The special investigation team is now in San Rodolfo; I’ll head there immediately.

Just wait for my news!”

Geweil asked in surprise.

“They’re still in San Rodolfo?”

“Yeah, what about it?”

Geweil’s face darkened, unable to tell Yusuf that California is California, San Rodolfo is San Rodolfo; such words would be too killjoy…

“Nothing.”

Geweil thought, could Temir, Wolf, and others be colluding with the Great Commander to play a big hand?

If so, that would be truly terrifying.

—————–

Does Cheng Daqi want to join forces with the Great Commander?

He does and he doesn’t.

Within his forces, old Crusoe is the ‘good friend’ of the Great Commander, and Temir has made it clear that it was time for them to work with the Great Commander.

However, Cheng Daqi actually has little motivation in this regard, as can be seen from his attitude towards his first son-in-law.

Put simply, the Great Commander is currently too hot to handle, and Cheng is unwilling to pay a high price to bask in the heat.

The future is interesting when it comes to reheating cold dishes.

In two years, the Great Commander won’t be the Great Commander anymore, but his MAGA faction will still exist; that’s the right time to make a move.

But Cheng’s thoughts are his own, and his subordinates have their own ideas.

For someone like Gru, who cannot outplay the American Great Commander, he himself is a gang leader, and the biggest leader of Underground Forces in America.

With just a slight move, storms of blood ensue.

Without Cheng Daqi or Temir knowing, Jax’s people have already started showing their loyalty.

Geweil panicked upon hearing that the NTIA’s investigation team was still in San Rodolfo.

Why?

Because San Rodolfo is Cheng’s turf!

In Geweil’s view, the situation seemed absurdly scripted.

Design the BEC trap, lure me into leveraging, then player-manipulate to trap my money, and finally join forces with the Great Commander to force my brother into a fury of stars.

You guys are too cruel!

In fact, Cheng didn’t even need to speak a word, his subordinates could write the script on their own.

“The power’s out?”

“Why did it suddenly go dark?”

“Damn it, keep quiet, go check the circuit breaker, and contact the property management.”

In the silent night, the NTIA’s San Rodolfo division went completely dark.

Here’s a grim piece of trivia: darkness is not only the criminal’s camouflage, but also the police’s.

Often, police operations take place at night.
