Blackstone Code

The Conservative candidate spoke to the committee chair and hung up.

He suddenly felt very tired now.

Their conclusion that one of their men was robbed and then killed actually told him from another perspective that the pairing of Connor and Lynch was really no joke.

Connor's connections in federal politics, coupled with Lynch's boldness and carefulness and various endless methods, also gave him countless wealth.

He is indeed no match.

At least he didn't dare to arrange for someone to kill their men. Even if he or his bodyguards found someone watching him, he wouldn't dare to do that.

I don’t dare to do it myself, and I don’t dare to let my bodyguards or confidants do it!

This was murder after all, and it would be very troublesome if it was not handled cleanly, but the other party did it without hesitation!

Rules, order, and gameplay are not binding on them.

When they have the advantage, they play with the rules. Your strength is not as good as theirs, and with the constraints of the rules, you are no longer their opponent.

When they don't have the advantage, they break the rules and play tricks on you. The result of the confrontation may be more troublesome. If you don't fight, you will immediately fall into a disadvantage.

Just like now, if he doesn't send people to continue to investigate Connor and collect black materials about Connor, then in the end Congress may directly appoint Connor as president, and he will lose everything.

If he sends people to continue investigating Connor, he may be assassinated.

At the same time, how does Connor deal with the people Connor uses to investigate him, or the people placed around him to keep tabs on him?

killed?

Or don't care?

This matter has completely gotten out of control since the northern votes were abnormal!

It's just that he didn't admit it at the time, and he wasn't willing to admit that he was bound to fail in the end, so he has been fighting pointlessly until now!

Now, the death of someone close to him made him suddenly realize that it was time to make a choice!

As for the capitalists who invested in him?

They actually changed their skin and invested in the Progressive Party. These capitalists are very cunning!

Conglomerates, plutocrats, whoever becomes president cannot do without them.

And those ordinary big capitalists are often people who bet on both sides. Whoever loses and who wins is actually the same to them.

Those who are truly affected are ordinary capitalists who are not qualified to lend a hand in the general election.

So what does winning or losing have to do with them?

It wasn’t until after two o’clock that the Conservative candidate fell asleep…

A little after seven o'clock the next morning, Lynch received a call from the short old man.

"I've seen the documentary and it said that you basically get up at five o'clock every day, so I deliberately called you earlier today, hoping it won't affect your rest."

Lynch had finished taking a shower and was watching the morning news. He said he had gotten up early and was not disturbed.

"Last night...he called me. He wanted to make an appointment with you, but he was afraid that you had something to do and didn't have time, so he asked me to ask."

"He'd like to talk to you if you have time today."

Although the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party are two competing parties, the old man and the Conservative Committee Chairman are actually very good friends.

The two have been fighting against each other for most of their lives, and they have long transcended the concept of ordinary opponents. They can be said to be both enemies and friends, and they can be said to be the people who understand each other best!

The Chairman of the Conservative Party Committee and Lynch are also friends, but they are just ordinary friends.

Lynch started as a bowling president, and from the moment he stood in the federal upper class, he was labeled as a progressive party.

So the old man entrusted an old friend to contact Lynch. This is the role of connections.

Lynch did not refuse, "I can squeeze in some time in the morning, before ten o'clock, at my house."

The old man chuckled and said, "That's great. This way I won't lose face. I'll treat you to dinner when you come to Slem."

"I'll have him at your place before ten o'clock!"

Then he hung up the phone.

After Lynch finished his breakfast, around 8:40, the chairman of the Conservative Committee took a car that he didn't usually use and came to Lynch.

"You can call me directly. You don't need to bother others with this kind of thing."

Lynch shook hands with the chairman of the Conservative committee and seated him on the sofa.

The latter smiled and said, "I'm just worried that I don't have enough face, but I will contact you directly next time."

It was a very ordinary greeting, and the chairman of the Conservative Committee even gave Lynch a small compliment.

The two sat down separately, and the maid brought coffee and pastries.

"The fight between Connor and him has become intense recently. Now they have broken up and the conflict has become completely public. This has affected the operation of the federal government and also affected the federal image in the world."

Lynch nodded after hearing this. After all, Connor's toy hammering the Conservative candidate has become a world-class phenomenon and a best-selling toy, and the whole world is spreading it as a joke.

Even Pengeo's largest "Empire TV" has been broadcasting boxing in Congress these days.

"So..." the old man observed Lynch's expression, "I think it's time to cool it down."

When Lynch heard this, he roughly understood what the other party meant, "You have to talk to Connor about this. He is the candidate of the Progressive Party, not me."

"Even if you convince me, I can't decide on behalf of Connor. After all, this is his business!"

The old man raised his hand and said, "You may have misunderstood me. I didn't mean to let them reconcile or sit down and talk."

"I just think... if we continue to fight like this, it will only be more embarrassing!"

"I can convince people on my side, including ... (the Conservative candidate), to give up on continuing to compete with Connor for the presidency and accept reality."

This sentence made Lynch start to look at the old man seriously.

He is very old, it is said that he is seventy-one years old, but he has not retired yet, and it seems that he plans to continue working.

There is no change in facial expression on his face that is covered with age spots and wrinkles. His muscles are always drooping weakly, but his eyes are bright.

Although it is turbid, it gives people a feeling of sparkling wisdom!

Lynch understood that last night's killer made the Conservative candidate feel uneasy.

More than one president has been assassinated in the history of the Federation, and even more candidates have been assassinated!

Not everyone can go to the end and be sworn in, or safely become the mascot of the Federation. Some people will always go faster than others.

This is a good thing for Connor, and Connor will accept this result.

"What do you want?" Lynch asked in time. He didn't believe that the other party had no demands.

Sometimes the compromise is not completely unconditional, and some conditions or requirements can also be put forward.

The old man smiled and said, "I heard that he (the short old man) was having a hard time in Nagaril, and he always called me to invite me over."

"Since last year, I have felt that my energy has been much less than before, and I feel that it is almost time for me to retire."

Lynch nodded slightly, "Catherine and I have talked. She is still young and does not have a thorough understanding of many things. She needs help from some people at many times."

"If you can occasionally provide her with some help within your ability while taking care of the elderly, or provide some insights and suggestions, I believe she will very much welcome you to come over!"

More smiles appeared on the old man's face, "Isn't it what we old men should do to help young people, especially the outstanding generation, grow up?"

"I agreed to this matter. I have heard a lot about her. She has done better than many male politicians."

"Although I am a conservative, it does not mean that my ideas have to be decadent."

"If she wants to go further, I'll support her!"

In addition to Catherine, they also talked about the old man's family situation and his favorite grandson.

He is said to be a grandson, but he is actually in his twenties and is planning to be elected as a city councillor.

After Lynch said that he would give the young man appropriate attention and some support when appropriate, the old man left with satisfaction.

He said he would convince Conservative candidates and some supporters to accept the current results.

Then Lynch made a call to Connor.

“There’s good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?”

Connor thought for a while, followed what most people thought, and chose to hear the bad news first.

"The bad news is that there's a good chance the Conservative candidate won't go to jail."

After hearing this, Connor immediately felt something bad, "Did he start to fight back?"

"We can't sit still and wait for death. Come to my office and let's find a way to deal with him together, just like we did before!"

Connor's subconscious trust and dependence on Lynch was something he himself didn't realize. He only felt that when he was with Lynch, he didn't need to use too much brain, and sometimes he would have a very good idea. pop up.

Lynch smiled and said, "This has something to do with the good news."

"We have expressed our determination, and I intend to talk to him and convince him to accept the reality, and I have a hunch that he will bow his head."

When Connor heard this, he showed a surprised expression in the office, "Hell, you can really do it?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but stand up and walk to the window, waving his hands and saying, "I'm not saying you can't do it, it's just... this is so surprising!"

"We have been thinking about how to kill him for the past two days!"

Lynch asked, "Do you mean we don't accept his bow and just send him in?"

Connor was stunned for a moment. After all, he was still a "decent person". If he could avoid breaking the rules, he would actually be willing to break them.

It's just that sometimes the pressure is too tight and I can't do it otherwise.

"Of course not, Lynch, you misunderstood me."

"I mean...this is great, it could be over!"

"What are you going to do?"

Lynch lit a cigarette, "As I said just now, I will convince him..."
