Kneeling is also an art

It wasn't just the Bear Empire that was anxious.

America was also anxious, perhaps even more so.

They were used to being the boss for so long.

Now, they might have to be the subordinate, but that was acceptable since they were across the ocean.

But the problem was that a man-eating abyss was coming!

The common people believed the nonsense of the Abyss religion saving the world and leading the poor out of suffering.

East King didn't believe a single word of it!

Whenever such news was presented to him, he always looked dismissive.

"Fake news..."

"It's clearly a lie..."

That's why the top families of America used to revel in their 'happy education' system.

Now, they were suffering just as much!

Not only did they lack any discernment, but they were also being led in circles by several 'divine' cults!

Crucially, according to American law, there wasn't much they could do about these people.

After all, it was 'free' America!

Freedom of belief was also freedom!

However, East King had had enough of these idiots.

He was preparing new legislation, intending to round up all these fools who believed in the Abyss cult!

So now there was only one problem left.

Behind some of these cults, there really were 'gods'!

Though called gods, those with knowledge understood.

They were merely small monsters from the Abyss, mere clowns!

But the problem was, the common American people believed them!

They hadn't entered the game 'salvation'.

They had only seen related videos and promotions online!

But with America's free national conditions, they wouldn't even believe science, so how could they believe the nonsense from a game?

It must be 'fake news'!

Therefore, the reason East King suppressed his urge to flip out was that he couldn't defeat the small Abyss monsters that could cross over at any time!

He couldn't just drop nuclear bombs in densely populated cities... As for relying on that little girl from Xia Kingdom?

East King dared not place his hopes on a neighbor's benevolence... So, when East King saw the announcement from Star Palace, his mind immediately became active.

"We can't get through, but can Tianmu Zhenjun come over?"

Director York Mac was stunned.

It truly is you, East King!

How could you even come up with such a terrible idea?

"Would he be willing?"

East King smiled disdainfully.

"Hmph, I knew what they were planning the moment I saw this announcement! The entire paper only had two words written on it... extortion!"

These are all things I've already played with... York: ...?

He carefully recalled the content of the announcement.

How did I not see it?

This matter was very important, and East King didn't want to play guessing games.

"Here's what we'll do: you privately contact Star Palace and invite them to West Continent as guests! We'll pay the appearance fee..."

York's expression froze.

It still has to be you! You're so skilled with money!

"How much is appropriate?"

"We have to pay whatever it takes..."

On this point, East King was very open-minded!

Manifesting strength into reality was an urgent matter!

"But... what if Star Palace asks for an exorbitant price?"

East King sighed, completely giving up hope!

York Mac was fine as a director who coasted through peacetime.

In this era of great contention, his level was utterly insufficient!

"You're right, get out!"

York's heart skipped a beat; letting him leave at this moment? Did he mess up?

After York walked out of the president's office with a worried expression, East King picked up the internal phone.

"Have Nick come to my office!"

East King was an old white man.

He had his own views on racial issues.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't bother with a bald head like Nick Fury.

But he had no choice, did he?

That old guy York, he practically wanted East King to hold his hand and teach him everything!

It was fine if he was a bit stupid normally!

At such a critical juncture, who had time to dawdle with him?

In a peaceful and prosperous era, it didn't matter if mediocrity prevailed.

But with chaos on the horizon, people like Nick Fury had to be promoted.

Soon, the person arrived!

"Mr. East King..."

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"Please instruct me!"

East King was very satisfied, pointing to the document on the table.

"Take a look, what do you think we should do?"

Nick Fury respectfully picked up the report from the table and began to read it.

As someone with ideas and capabilities, and as a tough individual of a different skin color who could catch East King's eye, Nick Fury had actually seen Star Palace's announcement the moment it came out.

Not only had he seen it, but he had also studied it in depth!

Now, looking at it carefully, it was merely to save face for his superior.

He didn't want his superior to think he was too smart.

He had also studied East King, who was a leader with a strong desire for control.

Being smart only needed to be displayed appropriately!

"After reading this, what are your thoughts?"

"Uh..."

"Don't worry, speak freely and boldly. It's just the two of us here, I won't go and complain to York..."

After speaking, he raised an eyebrow at the bald head!

The bald head put on a look of profound gratitude, then began to offer advice.

"Although we can't get through, Tianmu Zhenjun can!"

"Last month, didn't he clear out all the Golden BOSS outside our seven main cities in West Continent? How about we pay him to come again?"

The bald head seemingly waited anxiously for East King's verdict.

But in reality, he wasn't flustered at all... If East King didn't have more aggressive ideas, he would have just closed the door and discussed it with that old conservative York.

There would have been no need to call him over.

Since he was called over, it must mean East King was dissatisfied with old York's conservatism... East King was noncommittal.

His brows furrowed.

"I'm just afraid they'll ask for an exorbitant price..."

The bald head understood!

He secretly cursed old York for being useless.

It was only because of his family background that he had always been able to suppress him in the bureau... "Sir, what if we sell the three copies back to the three major families at the original price, the same amount we spent?"

Now East King was truly satisfied!

Look at this dark-skinned man, how perceptive!

What's wrong with spending money? It's not your family's money... Outside, they pay 6 million US dollars for one sheep, they can afford it, but I, East King, can't?

It's preposterous!

Moreover, in this land, nothing could truly bypass the three major families.

If this matter wasn't communicated to them, and they were to settle accounts afterward, it would only put East King in a passive position.

It was better to proactively make an offer... Money was the least valuable thing to the three major families!

"Very good! The share for Star Palace is a necessary national expense, and the three shares for the three major families are our two private remunerations... Go and handle it!"

The bald head curled his lip inwardly.

Who are you fooling? 'Our' shares? If you give me a hundred thousand, I'll be burning incense in gratitude!

"What if they don't want US dollars?"

East King hadn't yet awakened from his dream of striking it rich.

He paused at the question.

"If not US dollars, what do they want?"

"Gold coins? Or materials...?"

"Give it to him!"

East King didn't hesitate for a second!

Are you kidding? Game gold coins are also America's property!

I'm doing all this for America to be great again... These are necessary sacrifices!

When it comes to stirring up trouble, I, East King, am a professional.

When it comes to kneeling? I can make it an art form!

As for Europa?

That would be the next topic...
