Chapter 356: The Real Boss Is Here

The second elder didn't bother saying too much, and hung up the phone directly after that. Feng Jiu felt even more uneasy after that, and thinking back to the words he had just heard, he paced around his office, and the more he paced, the more upset he became.

"Mr. Feng, what's wrong?" A young man came in from outside to deliver some documents, seeing Feng Jiu fidgeting and being anxious, and he couldn't help raise an eyebrow.

Feng Jiu turned to the person, then his eyes landed on the documents in his hands. "What is that?"

"The specific contents for the press conference." The young man shook off his curiosity, and handed the document to Feng Jiu. "The most important thing right now is to reassure the masses. The appearance of those monsters recently has made them scared to even step out of their house, and their safety is our priority."

"What do you know?!" Feng Jiu scratched his head, pacing up and down the room a few times. "Help me connect to the higher ups of America."

At this time, they still needed to clarify what had happened in the United States.

"America?" The young man nodded. As he carried out his orders, he recalled the recent events that had happened in that country. "Mr. Feng, why did you ask about America out of the blue? I heard there's been a major political shuffle, and the position of the newly appointed commander has solidified a lot from it."

"Major shuffle?" Feng Jiu's heart jumped. "How big are we talking about?"

He had kept an ear out regarding the happenings of the United States, since it had been a big matter after all, and even the world felt the waves from the incidents. Although Feng Jiu wasn't really concerned about it, he was still somewhat in the know. After hearing what the second elder had said, the doubt in his heart grew bigger.

"The entire higher ups were cleaned out, but only those who had lifestyle problems whom even the higher ranking commanders were not able to touch previously." The young man had obviously taken an interest in the matter. Not only him, who in the international political circle wasn't paying attention to this matter?

To be able to single-handedly bring down these people, turning them in together with solid evidence, who wouldn't be afraid? Especially the other politicians in America, they were all well aware of the dangers that they potentially faced.

The young man's eyes lit up when he talked about this. "I heard that even the Dickens family had been cleaned out. You probably didn't know, Mr. Feng, but the leader of the Dickens family was Claude. Klaus was just an average heir before this, but now his methods are not inferior to some of the older cunning people."

The young man wasn't aware that the longer he talked, the more worried Feng Jiu got. Before he was aware of it, he was still fine. But now that he knew Gu Xiqiao was related to this, he was even more shocked. "Is what you just said true? Even the higher ranking commanders couldn't touch them?"

To think that they had been taken down by someone else instead? Especially knowing that this person might be Gu Xiqiao, Feng Jiu's anxiety rose to a new level. He picked up his cup of tea, trying to sooth his frazzled nerves.

Even after he found out that Gu Xiqiao had been involved in the incidents, he still wasn't concerned at first. He didn't pay much attention to the political affairs in the first place, so he didn't know how big an impact the incident had on America. But when he heard the young man say that, he suddenly realized that he should have been paying attention.
