As soon as the Celestial Trade press conference ended, the door of the president’s office were pushed open on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the FBA director pushed open the door and walked to Hill’s desk with haste in his steps.

“We must get MacDonald’s people out as soon as possible.” He placed a piece of document in front of the president, then with both his hands placed on the table, he said seriously, “There is reliable information that Celestial Trade possesses a drug called truth-telling serum!”

“You mean, they will use a truth-telling serum on MacDonald?” Hill read the document with a frown.

“Based on their usual tactics, we cannot rule out this possibility,” The FBA director said solemnly, “I worry that MacDonald may reveal to them things that should not be said, such as our financial dealings with North American human rights agencies.”

At this point, the FBA Director looked at Hillary seriously and said, “We must get him out as soon as possible! Before they convict him and use the drug on him!”

Hill rubbed her temples as she glanced at the documents on the table and said wearily.

“…Do you have any good ideas?”

The FBA director was just about to say something, but then he froze.

He suddenly realized that his idea would not work on Celestial Trade…

Send a lawyer? The Voice of Blacks had already done that and it hired the strongest team of lawyers, but the situation was still not optimistic. The Xin Court seemed to be determined in convicting MacDonald. This lawsuit was unfair from the beginning.

Send the SEALs? It’s debatable if they could even reach Coro Island…

“This… the CIB is mainly responsible for foreign affairs.” The FBA director looked away awkwardly, “We are only responsible for contacting the human rights organization in North America…”

He was embarrassed to continue.

Hill sighed and pushed the document aside.

The word Xin gave her a headache, even to the point where she was diagnosed with minor depression.

She originally entered politics with huge ambitions, but this result was not something she expected.

How would history evaluate her?

She could only hope that those historians could put more emphasis on her opponent so that as the first female president of the country, she would not look so incompetent. After all, she still believed that she made the best decision during her tenure, even if the result did not look so satisfactory. She did not lose in politics…

“Do you know what I want most now?”

The FBA director carefully asked as he looked at Hill who was rubbing her brows.

“President…Madam?”

“What I want most now is for this winter to come sooner.”

“Mrs. President,” the FBA director gulped, then reminded in a quiet voice, “It’s already winter now.”

…

The news of Macdonald’s arrest in Xin had caused a great uproar in the international community, especially among black people. The Voice of Blacks said in an interview with the media that it will do everything in its power to rescue Macdonald and has hired the best team of lawyers to provide legal aid to him. The President of Tanzania even summoned Xin’s ambassador to Tanzania to express his concern about the incident.

However, in contrast, what attracted more attention from the international community was the speech Jiang Chen gave on behalf of the Future group at the press conference about the “James Incident”.

Jiang Chen’s interpretation of “equal rights does not mean giving privileges to certain groups of people” led to two polar opposite views of him in the international community.

Some people believed that if a certain amount of protection is not given to a small number of people, it would increase social inequality and aggravate racial discrimination, which would not bring “fairness”…

And others thought.

This is too damn right!

Why bother going in a circle? Just directly create a law to put the money of the rich into the wallet of the poor. Then even the class itself is eliminated! The gap between the rich and the poor is the source of all issues!

Especially Jiang Chen’s sentence “…For some people who try to seek privileges for themselves under the banner of a minority and in the name of equality, I will tell you with certainty that you are dreaming.” He gained support from many who shared the same sentiment.

Even on the far side of the Pacific Ocean, there were strong supporters of Jiang Chen’s words.

For example, a certain UA election candidate who threatened to “wrestle” with Jiang Chen even expressed regret on a talk show: “He is a respectable opponent, you know who I am referring to. If our country wants to be strong, we must have a strong leader to remind those who commit crimes with their race and religion to get out of our country. I think I happen to be such a strong leader; you can vote for me…”

Although most of the people were no longer surprised by this candidate’s unthoughtful remarks, this time he did actually offend the black population. There were even black senates that spoke vocally against him and asked the Republican Party to disqualify his eligibility for the March primaries.

Of course, Trump did not intend to be soft. After all, his candidacy had been filled with controversies from the very start, and the number of people that asked for his disqualification could not even be counted with just one hand. However, out of the consideration of the votes, he emphasized that the remark was only directed against terrorists and illegal immigrants…

“You have been jointly condemned.”

In the evening, Natasha in her dressing gown went to the living room, threw a newspaper on the coffee table, and then sat down across from Jiang Chen. She leaned back on the sofa and lazily raised her beautiful legs, “The Voice of Blacks accused you that the condolences to James were not sincere enough, saying that even if James’ wife abandons the legal proceedings against Future Group and Celestial Trade, they will still take you to court for this incident.”

“Where do they want to sue me? Moscow?” Jiang Chen teased.

“In Mississippi.”

“My geography is not very good,” Jiang Chen yawned as he watched her deliberately reveal her neckline, then he said with a smirk. “Compared to this boring topic, we might as well use this time to do something more interesting.”

“Are you not worried at all?” After she changed the position of her legs, Natasha raised her eyebrows slightly and curiously asked, “I heard that they are calling for a boycott of Future Group products.”

“If they can bear the life of the primitive, I’m not against it.” Jiang Chen laughed.

From Phantom helmets to smart robots to Future phones and urban drone systems, Future Group was almost equated with the term next generation that covered all aspects of people’s lives.

Technologies were addictive. Just like a person who was used to using smartphones would never go back to using an old flip phone. The feeling of being behind on trends would be more painful than anything else. And this very reason was why the UA has kept a cautious attitude about launching an anti-dumping investigation against Future Group.

Even if Future Group was already an evident monopoly on the market, the UA has yet to find a company that can replace Future Group.

Even Microsoft and Google could not complete this feat. One had to pay high patent fees to the Future Group for graphene chips, while the other simply imported a large number of supercomputing chips from Ange Island every year to maintain its own servers around the world. …

“Well, since you don’t take those people to heart at all, I have nothing to say,” Natasha shrugged, “I went to the Russian embassy today, and the Kremlin wanted me to ask you. How is the situation on Mars? And, do you really not need help?”

“I’m pretty sure we don’t need help. Our transport ship should reach the Mars synchronous orbit in five days at the latest.” Jiang Chen smiled, “Instead, when will your scientists come?”

“The specimen has been delivered?! So fast?” Natasha looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.

“Yeah… to be precise, two hours ago, the port of Celestial City has received the freezer compartment containing Devil Worm specimen.” Jiang Chen laughed at Natasha’s expression as he said, “It should be already transported to the specimen library at the lab.”

He had already passed the news onto other member states just now. Since Natasha happened to be home, he thought he would tell her the news himself.

As for why, of course, it made things more interesting.

“Wait, received the freezer compartment? Didn’t you use a transport ship to deliver this specimen?” Natasha asked hurriedly.

“On the surface, yes,” Jiang Chen said, “It’s impossible for us to dissect specimens in front of the media, right? And what is suitable or not for publicity, these also need to be studied. So, we used a small carrier rocket that is used to transport ore to transport the specimens…Although the carrying capacity is not high, it can theoretically cruise at twice the speed of the Seagull-class transport ship.”

“I’m going to make a phone call,” Natasha got up immediately, “Russian scientists can board the plane now, and they will be at the Coro Airport by noon tomorrow.”

Natasha walked towards the stairs.

However, when she passed the sofa, Jiang Chen grabbed her arm.

“This is a valuable piece of information, my dear Miss Agent.” Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow and smirked. “Are you not going to give your ‘informant’ a little… special reward?”

Natasha couldn’t help but chuckle at the unique analogy, and she rolled her eyes with charm and dragged her arm from his hand.

She leaned down and blew a frivolous breath into his ear, then teased in a whimsical tone.

“Go to my room in a bit… remember to wash yourself before you come, so I can give you a reward from ‘Miss Agent’.”
