Awakening the Daily Intelligence System

Chapter 453: 167, is this how the world’s number one arms dealer treats his guests?_2

“`

“A meeting is inevitable, but he must wait a bit,” Bryan Dennison said calmly as he began to make his chess move, speaking indifferently, “I need to let him understand that no matter who stands behind him, he cannot gain the upper hand on American soil, in front of me.”

The middle-aged man thought for a moment and then said, “But what if he leaves?”

Bryan Dennison said unconcernedly, “As long as America has something he wants, he can’t avoid our family. Sooner or later we’ll meet. What’s there to be anxious about?”

The middle-aged man nodded thoughtfully, putting aside those messy thoughts, and focused wholeheartedly on playing chess with his father.

Their game was quite spectacular.

The middle-aged man was aggressive in his play, moving quickly. To someone not well-versed in military chess, it would seem that he was in the lead.

Bryan Dennison was better at defense, with each move made very precisely. It appeared he could collapse at any moment, yet he withstood his son’s fierce onslaught, keeping his strategy utterly unshaken.

Only those who could foresee at least 20 moves ahead could appreciate the brilliance of the game.

Just as Bryan Dennison was about to move a chess piece, the lights in the room dimmed for a moment, and the vast living room instantly turned pitch dark.

The villa had backup power, so a sudden blackout was highly abnormal.

The guards hidden around the villa instantly rushed out, their flashlights waving wildly, ensuring the safety of Bryan Dennison and his son.

The next second, the lights in the living room came back on, and everything returned to normal.

Just as everyone thought it was a false alarm, the television in the living room suddenly turned on, displaying the surveillance footage from the villa’s entrance.

At that moment,

a Grand Xia young man, in his early thirties wearing a black suit, was standing at their front door, seemingly staring through the dark surveillance camera, eyeing them from afar.

[Mr. Dennison, is this the hospitality of the world’s top arms dealer?]

The middle-aged man’s face darkened, and he said coldly, “Dad, let me go teach this ignorant fellow a good lesson!”

No matter the background or origins of the other party, he truly did not care.

There was no one in America he dared not offend.

“Heh, to hack into our home security system, this guy is really something,” Bryan Dennison said without anger, waving his hand, “Go, invite this distinguished guest in.”

“Yes,” the butler backed out of the room, smirking internally.

No matter the identity of the young man at the door, offending the Bryan Family would be the most unwise thing he could do.

….

At the entrance of the villa.

Lin Mo could feel that there were at least a dozen sniper rifles aimed at his body’s vital parts.

This feeling was quite frightening.

But there was nothing he could do about it,

All the other candidates were easy to deal with; Lin Mo could stop them from continuing in the Duke election through normal means.

But it was not the same with Bryan Dennison, who was ranked number one.

If he could not take down the arms dealer behind him, persuading him to give up would be impossible.

There was no shortage of scandals involving Bryan Dennison in Lin Mo’s hands.

But this was not Grand Xia, American citizens were very tolerant, and even if those negative stories caused some stir, it would not change Bryan Dennison’s base.

In the end, he would still emerge victorious from the Liberal Party.

Moreover, the backing of the arms dealer behind him in America was far stronger than Chen Shanhe’s status in Grand Xia.

Suppressing the popularity of the Bryan Family was trivial for them.

So, Lin Mo had to take the risk of meeting Bryan Dennison himself, hoping to persuade him to give up the American Duke election.

Under Lin Mo’s gaze, the butler ascended the steps at the villa’s entrance, looking down as he asked, “Did you cause the incident just now?”

Lin Mo remained silent.

Feeling ignored, anger simmered inside the butler, but thinking about the coming moment when his boss would show his power, he felt a schadenfreude satisfaction.

If you don’t want to answer, then don’t. You’ll see what’s coming.

“Come with me, our boss wants to see you,” said the secretary, who then turned and headed back into the living room without looking back.

“`

No one was searched.

However, Dark had already hacked into Bryan Dennison’s system, telling him that the gate was actually a large X-ray scanning machine.

All vehicles and individuals entering the villa were subjected to strict inspections.

After entering the living room, Lin Mo sized up the father and son in front of him, and the father and son were also sizing him up.

Neither party spoke.

After a standoff of about twenty to thirty seconds, Bryan Dennison broke the silence, “Mr. Lin Chen, you are very bold to come to my house alone.”

“Tell me, what do you want to get from me?”

If there were no value in cooperation, the other party wouldn’t have come to find him specially.

Since they had come, there must be something to discuss.

It was a simple truth.

Lin Mo was also very direct, saying politely yet firmly, “Mr. Dennison, I’ll be frank. I hope you can give up the Duke election this time.”

What?

Upon hearing his words, the expressions of the others in the living room shifted slightly.

This guy was too direct, too arrogant!

Did he know whom he was facing, what kind of big shot?

How dared he!

Lin Mo noticed the gazes around him that seemed almost ready to devour him, but he chose to ignore them, his eyes fixed on Dennison the entire time, waiting for his response.

As Lin Mo had anticipated, Bryan Dennison’s face showed no excessive emotion, giving no hint of pleasure or anger.

“This is America, a place where everything can be negotiated. It’s not impossible for my agent to drop out of the election,” Bryan Dennison said calmly, without being intimidated by Lin Mo, “Let’s hear it, what can you offer?”

The fact that the other party had come alone was proof enough of his courage and confidence.

Bryan Dennison was curious about what his trump card was.

“The old gentleman truly lives up to his reputation. In terms of presence alone, you might be the most composed person I’ve ever met,” said Lin Mo, speaking sincerely without any deliberate flattery.

He put his hand in his coat pocket, intending to take out something he had prepared earlier.

Click…click click…

The moment he moved, more than ten firearms instantly targeted him.

The atmosphere became very tense.

Bryan Dennison waved his hand to signal the bodyguards to leave.

Lin Mo wasn’t surprised by such a scene; after all, the other party was the biggest arms dealer in America, and his bodyguards were also far from ordinary.

At least they were no less formidable than the ace mercenaries he had encountered over the years.

Lin Mo took out a square transparent medicine box from his coat pocket, containing seven or eight pills that looked quite ordinary.

He placed the item on the shelf in front of Dennison’s wheelchair and said politely, “Mr. Dennison, this is a potent cure for cancer. I can’t guarantee it will heal your illness entirely, but extending your lifespan is definitely not a problem.”

That was right.

What Lin Mo was holding was the cancer cure he had found for Dark, not gotten from someone else’s formula, but one provided by the system one day.

He had established a pharmaceutical company and produced the medicine, making two types.

Type 1 was used by Dark for treatment, with the full effectiveness of the formula. The second type was what he currently had in his hand, a discounted version of the cure.

Lin Mo wasn’t foolish enough to apply for a patent, as such a groundbreaking drug would surely bring a lot of trouble if it became public.

Under the temptation of high profits, patent protection agencies couldn’t be trusted.

Besides, it would take many years of repeated testing and several years of clinical trials for a drug to be officially registered.

Lin Mo didn’t have time to deal with those things.

It was better to use the drug as a secret weapon, as he was doing now, bringing it out at a critical moment to maximize benefits!
