Chapter 455: 168, something that many important people seek but cannot obtain!_2

…

Compared with the news of a candidate’s car accident, it was unquestionably Nikki Haley’s proactive withdrawal from the presidential race that had a greater impact on America’s political landscape.

It wasn’t just the Liberal Party that was thrown into disarray,

the members of the Conservative Party were equally baffled.

Inside a large conference room,

Clinton Hamilton sat at the most prominent position at the giant conference table, with the other members seated alongside her like subjects.

During every election, the Liberal Party always quarreled amongst themselves, with no one willing to concede to another.

But the Conservative Party was different; for nearly 30 years, aside from the incumbent Black Duke Olima, each Conservative Party candidate list featured an exceptionally distinguished figure.

Others had no chance competing against such a person, so they were essentially just going through the motions of an election.

It was this unique “unity” that ultimately led to the Conservative Party producing more Dukes than the fractious, makeshift team of the Liberal Party.

And in this term, the most powerful figure in the Conservative Party, without doubt, was Clinton Hamilton.

Although she wasn’t the leader of the party, as the most likely contender for the Duke, she had the right to sit at the head of the table.

Clinton Hamilton looked around, her gaze sweeping over each person’s face before she coldly asked, “A whole hour has passed, the whole world is watching us, and you have still discovered nothing?”

With her many years of political experience, she understood one thing very clearly.

That was, when you have no idea what your opponents are up to, that’s when you’re about to face misfortune.

This law had been tested countless times, and it had always proven to be highly accurate.

Therefore, she was eager to find out what exactly those fellows in the Liberal Party were plotting.

“Mrs. Hamilton, I know you’re anxious, but please believe, we all want to know just as badly as you do who is causing this trouble,” the oldest member among them spoke up, “From what we can tell, it doesn’t look like Ron DeSantis and his behind-the-scenes arms dealers.”

“Because if anyone else had an accident at this time, the media would surely pin it on him, and that seems to be the current trend.”

“I just watched his press conference, that damned DeSantis is trying to find a way to shift the target of the fishing boat’s attack onto you.”

“I suggest you hold a press conference too, maybe even link up with him live.”

“Not only would it create unprecedented public interest, it would also demonstrate your righteousness and bravery.”

“Believe me, the people of America love a Duke like that.”

This elder held a high position within the Conservative Party, considered a senior to Clinton Hamilton. Although he had never run for Duke, he had vied for the position of Federal Supreme Judge.

The actual status of a Federal Supreme Judge is not less than that of a Duke, it might even be considered stronger.

After all, a Duke only has very limited appointment rights, and all key positions require voting to secure.

But a Supreme Judge is different; they can appoint their own staff in lower courts without having to apply.

“Thank God the Conservative Party still has someone as esteemed as you to preside,” Clinton Hamilton expressed her gratitude with a nod, then looked at the others with disdain, and finally added, “Now, we don’t need you to do things beyond your capability.”

“Let’s discuss what exactly we should say to win the support of the voters and to suppress those damned Liberal Party insects!”

When it came to fooling reporters and the American public, it was quite evident that everyone present had their own schemes ready to go.

As Clinton Hamilton’s voice faded, the others began to discuss heatedly,

forming a stark contrast to the previously somber mood.

However,

none of them could have imagined that it wasn’t the people they considered influential who had caused turmoil in the American Duke elections overnight.

But he was just an average middle-aged man from Grand Xia.

….

Time ticked away, and with the night deepening, America, under the cover of the ink-colored sky, became even darker.

At this moment, in the living room of the Bryan Family’s villa.

Lin Mo sat on the soft sofa, quietly waiting for the final results.

Testing drugs wasn’t something that could be done in a moment; even with top talents, top institutions, and ready cancer cell samples, it would still take at least two to three hours to complete.

Bryan Dennison’s health was already poor, and having stayed up late tonight and spoken so much, his condition had gradually become a bit listless.

His son had already tried to persuade him to go to sleep several times, but Bryan Dennison had refused.

Tap… tap tap tap…

Just when everyone was feeling drowsy, the butler hurried in, excitedly handing the medical report to Bryan Dennison and saying, “Boss, it has been confirmed, these drugs are indeed very helpful for your treatment.”

“The doctors said they’ve conducted 11 sets of control tests, and after using the medication, the cancer cells were controlled, and their spread is slowing down.”

The most terrifying aspect of cancer is its exponential growth; even if initially only one cancer cell mutates, it can produce millions or tens of millions of the same cells within a body in just a few days.

And if the cancer cells aren’t completely eradicated, even if temporarily cured, the disease would quickly relapse.

There is data to prove that the speed of infection in the second relapse is 3-5 times that of the first.

This is why cancer is so difficult to treat.

Now hearing that the medication could indeed suppress the spread of cancer cells, even Bryan Dennison couldn’t help but get excited, his body trembling slightly in the wheelchair.

He anxiously asked, “What about the side effects? Are there any side effects?”

Due to his long battle with illness, Bryan Dennison knew even more about his own disease than most doctors.

There had been new drugs in the past that were effective in trials, but those drugs had strong side effects, even directly reducing lifespan.

Chemotherapy could also temporarily suppress cancer cells, but it had the same drawback; the side effects were too strong.

Bryan Dennison asked anxiously, and the butler answered quickly: “According to the current tests, no side effects have been found yet, but a more comprehensive report will be available tomorrow.”

The middle-aged man, hearing this, although trying hard to suppress it, couldn’t hide the anger in his subtle expressions.

He hurried forward two steps, pointing at Lin Mo on the sofa and said, “Dad, these are definitely traps he’s playing, he must have used some unknown means to bribe those doctors.”

“You must not take these drugs of unknown origin; they might reduce your lifespan instead.”

He was truly panicking.

Lin Mo, faced with the baseless accusations of the middle-aged man, didn’t take them to heart. Looking at Bryan Dennison, he said, “Mr. Dennison, I think we can talk now, right?”

Bryan Dennison also ignored his son, pondered for a moment, and nodded, “We can, I might agree to your demands, but on the condition that it does not harm America’s interests.”

“The Bryan Family is firmly tied to the ship that is America, and I will not let you steer this ship off course because of my personal life.”

Lin Mo found that the way Americans expressed their patriotism was quite peculiar,

Both the previous Johnson Foster and the current biggest arms dealer felt the same.

But well… none of that mattered to him.

Lin Mo’s only goal was to help Johnson Foster ascend to the title of Duke, and then with his help, eliminate Chen Shanhe.

“Mr. Dennison, I also dislike people who betray their own country and nation, so I will not ask you to do such a thing,” Lin Mo said.

Lin Mo, looking at Bryan Dennison in the wheelchair, stated his demand: “I only need Ron DeSantis, the agent you’ve nurtured, to drop out of the Duke’s election!”
