(I did make a p@treon, so if you want to support me and get access to advanced chapters up to 25ch, you can find me by the name LazyTranslator567)
In the White House, President Ellis placed his right hand on the pile of documents and looked at Vice President Rodriguez.
"The purple energy issue is now a hot topic, and the research experiment has been finalized. What do you think should be done about Kevin White issue?"
"Are you talking about genetic modification? I think it's a good thing." Rodriguez smiled and said, "Compared to the increase in life expectancy, there's nothing wrong with it."
"Every year our finances have to provide a large amount of medical insurance expenses for the people. Now that we have this new energy, they don't even get sick anymore, which means a large amount of expenses have been reduced out of thin air. However, the retirement age should also be extended for a few decades."
As Rodriguez spoke, his face, which was in his forties or fifties and originally looked a little old, now had a rosy complexion and was full of vitality. After ten days of conditioning his energy, he actually looked like he was back in his youth.
"But now Kevin has gone too far. Many people below have opinions about him. If we turn a blind eye, it may affect the next election." Ellis said with difficulty.
Hearing Ellis' words, Rodriguez's expression changed slightly and said, "You haven't done anything yet, have you? Don't forget his character. Don't let his blood splash on me."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything." Ellis shook his head, but Rodriguez knew what the other person meant.
Do nothing, neither support nor oppose, and let the people below act on their own. By then, he will be completely free from all worries as president.
Anyway, there is still some time before the next presidential election, so let the people below make a fuss and wait for the underground gangs and Kevin to fight it out.
Just wait until the final result is about to come out before placing your bet.
"Who do you think will win in the end?" Ellis had a calm expression on his face, like a fisherman sitting alone on a fishing platform.
"Kevin White, those who are waiting to extend their life span will not let him fail. They just wouldn't support him openly like us."
Rodriguez thought: "At least these people will not let him die before his value is fully squeezed out."
"I think so too. So now we just need to direct the conflicts among the masses to him and stay out of it."
Ellis smiled and said confidently: "No matter how arrogant Kevin is, he can't possibly attack the government. We don't have any grudges against him. Can a spectator be killed by a bullet?"
"As for those ordinary people who were killed or injured by him, those were necessary sacrifices, helpless choices, and the pain of development. They cannot be blamed on us."
Ellis spread his hands and said, "After all, we didn't let them fight against him."
"Won't he fight the government?" Rodriguez felt a little uneasy, as if he had overlooked something.
With this feeling of discomfort, he looked at the content of "Investigation on the Victims and new energy of Kevin White and his Fans" on one of the pages of the document.
"What is this?" Rodriguez looked down at the document in confusion.
"Oh, it's a trial for Kevin. But as you know, there was news from Fisk recently that he suddenly disappeared for a while, so the summons for this hearing should not reach him."
Ellis laughed and said, "It's just a bunch of people talking nonsense. No one will take it seriously."
Rodriguez nodded slightly but felt the uneasiness growing stronger and decided to do something.
At the Doom Group, Susan, Johnny and others were working, while Kevin sat aside and browsed aerospace information idly to kill time.
At this time, Fisk called.
"Mr. White, the Vice President asked me to say hello to you," Fisk said from the other side.
"Vice President? That Rodriguez?" Hearing this title, Kevin immediately remembered who Fisk was talking about: "This old guy, why would he be nice to me if he didn't do anything wrong?"
"The vice president said that recent public opinion is somewhat unfavorable to you and hopes that you can be patient for a while. He said that all the top leaders are on your side." Fisk said nervously.
"He is quite filial. To put it bluntly, he will support me, but he won't show it." Kevin scoffed as he put the phone close to his ear.
While answering the phone, he also devoted some attention to the chat group.
[Divine Blue]: @All members, I'm going to have a party here, anyone want to come?
'Party?' Everyone in the group was stunned. Are they going to meet in person?
However, these people were not very opposed to Kevin's invitation. In addition, he had just uploaded his magical skills, so they had to come even if it was just to give him some complements.
[Gentleman Sword]: Senior Divine Blue is so kind and generous that I will definitely be there.
[Master Luo]: Of course, no problem, just call me, Master Luo, whenever you want.
[Kimishima Kana]: Okay, senior.
Soon, one group member after another posted messages on the group screen to indicate that they had no problem.
Seeing this, Kevin suddenly thought about it for a while and then said to Fisk at the other end of the phone: "I need to invite a few friends to hold a party tomorrow night. Can you help me prepare it?"
"Party? Of course, no problem. I guarantee it will be a complete success for you." Fisk hurriedly promised, and at the same time, he was ready to put all his efforts into preparations.
On Mount Huashan, Yue Buqun looked at the (divine Blue invitation) in the group and began to rack his brains to think about what gift he should give when they met, so as to leave a good impression on his superior.
After all, Kevin helped him so much, it was only right and proper for him to express his gratitude.
But soon he saw the message from him in the group.
[Divine Blue]: It's just a simple gathering, just a casual gathering will do, no need to make it so grand, no need to send gifts or anything, I'm very rich, I don't need that much from you, I'll send an invitation in the group when the time comes, you just need to agree.
"What a statement as expected from a rich man," Kimishima Kana complained, and she felt a little curious about this wealthy Divine Blue boss. She wondered how he compared to Stark from the same world.
In Mr. Zombie's world, Lin Jiu looked at his dilapidated charity house in silence, extremely envious, and could only whisper in his heart several times: "Money is something outside of the body, there will always be more in the future."
Soon, the day passed in a flash. After Kevin arrived at the venue arranged by Kingpin, he sent a cross-time and space invitation to the group.
[Divine Blue]: Everyone, please get ready and accept my invitation.
Group member [Divine Blue] sent a cross-border application to the chat group, with 0/5 members.
Almost at the moment when he sent out the invitation, Yue Buqun and the others who had been waiting for a long time pressed the agreement option. The space in front of them changed instantly and they jumped directly from their own world.
In New York City, in front of the Empire State Building where the Trial was held, because it was the first recent meeting to criticize Kevin White, reporters held cameras in their hands and broadcast the scenes to the outside world.
