Chapter 461: 171, Lin Mo’s Trump Card!_2
This was a chasm he would never be able to cross in his lifeti!
….
Johnson Tower, top floor.
CEO’s office.
Lin Mo sat in the CEO’s exclusive chair, admiring the Arican snowscape through the huge floor-to-ceiling window, as well as the palace that countless people regarded as sacred.
Johnson Hester stood beside him, his expression revealing anxiety. He tried to speak several tis but held back, until he finally couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Lin, the voting results just ca out, and they are very unfavorable for us.”
“Now Hamilton has obtained 242 votes, and there are still so swing states and Conservative Party strongholds that haven’t reported results.”
“If we count all of those, Hamilton’s vote count would have already surpassed the necessary number to beco the Duke. What should we do?”
When competing against Hamilton, Hester had no confidence at all, nor did he have any family or power to rely on.
All he could rely on was this young-looking man from Grand Xia before him.
But…
Johnson Hester truly couldn’t understand, even at this point, if he still had any chance of winning.
As long as Hamilton didn’t withdraw, there was basically no chance of winning.
As for getting Hamilton to withdraw?
How could that be possible…
Let alone her, even her husband, the forr Duke, would definitely not allow such a thing to happen.
Lin Mo did not rush to answer Hester’s question, but instead asked back, “Have you completed all the things I asked you to do?”
Johnson Hester answered truthfully, “They’re basically completed. It’s impossible for you to control the mainstream dia, but the Arican public has a very broad range of information sources, not limited to dostic dia.”
“So foreign dia, especially social software like the international version of Douyin, or Twitter, disseminate news very widely, and they are not much influenced by the Clinton family.”
“I just want to tell you that I have also tried to spread negative information about Hamilton before, but I was not successful.”
“Their family’s ability to whitewash is too strong. Even if it’s a big news story, after their dissemination, it will be reduced to a level the voters can accept. After all, this is Arica, a country with a very high degree of freedom.”
Lin Mo could deeply relate to this.
For example, celebrities or officials consuming certain banned substances, in Grand Xia that would be enough for detention or mandatory rehabilitation, at the very least a complete ban, never to be allowed to appear in any dia again.
But in this magical country of Arica, not only would there be no punishnt, but it could also beco so sort of talking point.
As for issues like promiscuity or harassing female subordinates, these were often outright ignored by many people.
She only made a mistake that anyone could make, what cri did she commit?
Lin Mo tapped on the office desk and said indifferently, “I will handle these matters. You just need to do as I tell you.”
If the news isn’t explosive enough, it’s of course very easy to be suppressed or to have its core contents twisted to minimize the issue.
But what if it is explosive enough?
That’s right,
Lin Mo held in his hands many negative news stories about Hamilton as well as evidence of their family’s cris, but now was not the ti to release them.
Because the election hadn’t reached a critical mont yet; releasing this information now could lead to unexpected developnts over ti.
Trump cards can only be played at the mont that guarantees a decisive kill!
Hum… Hum Hum…
Just as Johnson Hester was about to say sothing else, his phone suddenly began to ring.
He picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
Johnson Hester glanced at Lin Mo, and after getting permission, he answered the phone and turned on the speaker.
A voice that both of them knew all too well rang out.
“Hester, hello, I am Hamilton’s husband, I think you should know who I am.”
Hamilton’s husband?
Which forr Duke?
“`
Why did he suddenly call ?
What does this an?
Johnson Hester muted his cell phone and looked at Lin Mo again, “Mr. Lin, what should we do now?”
This is exactly why Lin Mo had decided to help a political novice compete for the position of Duke—the man had no one else to rely on, aning he could only consult with Lin Mo whenever an issue arose.
Easy to control!
The sa situation had played out many tis in the history of Grand Xia.
“Don’t panic. They probably just want to et with you. Just go as you normally would,” Lin Mo said calmly and added, “You only need to do your job, and as for the rest of the troubles, including Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, I will take care of them for you.”
“Show so confidence, Duke Hester of the future!”
Johnson Hester now trusted Lin Mo unconditionally. Hearing what he said, Hester nodded, turned on the sound of his cell phone and said solemnly, “Mr. Elg, both your wife and I are candidates for Duke, and your decision to call at this ti doesn’t seem very wise.”
Elg replied with a smile, “You misunderstand, Mr. Hester. My wife and I simply wish to invite you over to talk about Arica’s future.”
“I believe you would be very interested in this matter, and we happen to be in the palace close to your company.”
“Buddy, don’t you want to co in and take a look ahead of ti?”
His tone was relaxed, showing no hint of threat or rudeness, as if it was truly a call from an old friend wanting to catch up after many years.
But Johnson Hester was not a fool—he could clearly sense the provocation in Elg’s words and the real implication of choosing the palace as the location for their talk.
Ha,
Was it not just to humiliate him, an idiot who had never been inside but still dreamt of ascending to the top in one leap?
Of course, Hester did not want to go, but seeing Lin Chen slowly nodding, he could only grit his teeth and say, “Fine, I was actually looking forward to visiting you both, so we’ll et later.”
Beep… beep beep…
The call ended, and Hester asked, “Mr. Lin, what do I need to do when I get there?”
“This seems like the Hongn Banquet you Grand Xia people speak of. If they arrest on so charge, how should I handle it?”
Similar incidents had occurred in previous Duke elections.
In this magical country, the more critical the mont, the more likely it is for sothing that defies all expectations to happen.
Moreover, Johnson Hester wasn’t exactly untouchable. To beco the CEO of the Johnson family, he had engaged in many unsavory activities in the past.
If Elg and his wife got their hands on any evidence, they would have every reason to get the CIA or a federal judge involved and investigate him.
Although a candidate has immunity, it would undeniably have a significant impact on him.
He would then be even less able to compete for the position of Duke.
The Johnson family was now actually at a historic crossroads: if they failed to secure the title of Duke, they might face retribution in the future.
After all, Hester had drawn attention this ti and naturally attracted discontent from many people.
Lin Mo responded, “Just go. They will soon be too busy dealing with bigger problems to worry about you.”
“Go ahead, don’t keep them waiting too long.”
Johnson Hester nodded, said nothing more, and left the room.
In the vast office, only Lin Mo was left alone.
He gazed through the window at the slowly setting sun and calculated the ti in his mind.
Only two days remained until the end of the voting.
It was ti to move against Mr. and Mrs. Elg, after all with Arica’s land spanning over ten million square kiloters, even explosive news needed ti to spread.
Lin Mo took out his cell phone, composed a ssage, and sent it to his subordinates and the deep-web entity known as Dark.
[The action begins!]
But behind those four simple words lay the kind of news that could overturn the most powerful country in the world.
Lin Mo stood up, positioned himself in front of the vast floor-to-ceiling window, and looked at the renowned palace nearby, muttering to himself, “Bear-gate… Email-gate… How would you deal with both of these pieces of news at the sa ti, Your Excellency?”
“Oh, by the way, Mr. Elg, and Mrs. Hamilton, it seems you also had a… very good ti on that little island!”
