Kennedy Green was in his 50s and the youngest president in the history of the Federation.
Theugson mentioned by Roy Lewis was the Conservative candidate running against Kennedy Green for the presidency three years ago. In the end, Kennedy Green won by a large margin, with nearly 30% more votes than Mason Lilliput.
Kennedy Green had been busy with his head down, but when his nephew spoke, he looked up at him.
“Is the information reliable?”
Roy Lewis nodded, “Uncle, Mason Lilliput has been winning over people lately, first the Thompsons, now the Dunns. I think he’s determined to win the election next year.”
B0x𝔫𝙤ѵ𝑒𝙡.comKennedy Green represents the new reformist forces in the Federation, while Mason Lilliput represents the old conservative forces.
If we were to talk about the depth of their backing, Kennedy Green can’t really compete with Mason Lilliput.
Although Kennedy Green has the support of the Greens and The Lewis, these two families, although business giants, have never been involved in politics before. It was him who stepped in with one foot and couldn’t go back.
“What do you think?”
Indeed, Kennedy Green has many ministers who could give him advice, and Roy Lewis is actually one of his many trusted bureaucrats.
Compared to those bureaucrats with deeply rooted bureaucratic thinking, his nephew’s views were often more insightful and feasible.
In these three years of his tenure, Kennedy has weathered countless storms, almost every time with the powerful support of his nephew.
“I’ve been looking into the Thompsons lately, and as for Jayden Dunn, South Asia’s United Ventures has been in contact with him several times, but there hasn’t been much progress. In my opinion, United Ventures might be on the same side as us.”
What Kennedy Green admired most about his nephew was this.
Roy Lewis isn’t the type of ruthless and domineering CEO who can scare people off with a single word, he possesses more wisdom, foresight, and careful planning.
He may not put all his effort into achieving something, rather, using all available factors, winning over all the people that can be used and then using them for his benefit.
Such ability may not seem like much, but upon closer inspection, it’s clear that using the strength of others to achieve goals while preserving one’s own strength is much smarter than brute force.
Kennedy Green had already heard about Mason’s actions, but not as solid and reliable as his nephew’s information.
“So what’s your plan?”
Roy Lewis didn’t hide it, “I’ve been getting some dirt on the Thompsons from Margareth lately, but as for Jayden Dunn, it’s not ripe yet. I want to observe for a while longer to avoid alarming them.”
“Margareth?”
Kennedy Green discovered an extremely mismatched name in the serious conversation and couldn’t help but be curious.
Roy Lewis explained, “This Margareth is the same person who took up the case of illegal manipulation.”
Kennedy Green didn’t know if it was his own illusion, but he felt that his always calm and reserved nephew had become more spirited this time, and his emotions seemed more outward.
Kennedy Green usually wouldn’t meddle with Roy Lewis’s way of doing things, he asked purely out of curiosity.
“I thought you wouldn’t do a second deal with these people?”
Roy Lewis didn’t want to explain why he needed to deal with Jayden Dunn and his personal reasons for working with Margareth again, so he only mentioned one reason.
“He’s very good, for now, the best hacker I’ve ever seen.”
Kennedy Green raised his eyebrows, “It’s rare for a hacker to get praise from you.”
Roy Lewis didn’t explain any further, only discussing some work-related matters, and when it was almost time, he got up to say goodbye.
But Kennedy Green suddenly stopped him, “I heard that Kiara Dunn went mad, what’s going on?”
As for the gossip in the streets, Kennedy Green never had time to pay attention to it, but since this matter concerned his nephew and his little treasure, he became concerned.
A cold smile appeared on Roy Lewis’s face, “Probably scared herself mad from doing too much wrong.”
Kennedy Green didn’t care about how she went mad, but he was thinking about something else.
“I heard that this kind of illness can be inherited. You’d better check if she was really scared mad or if it’s hereditary.”
Kennedy Green naturally wouldn’t care about Kiara Dunn’s life or death, but she is Timmy’s mother, and her genes, good or bad, could be passed on to Timmy.
Roy Lewis shivered, cursing himself for not thinking of that.
“I’ll have someone look into it.”
Since they were talking about private matters, Kennedy Green asked, “What about you? How do you feel under the treatment of Master Seaton’s apprentice recently?”
Roy Lewis was a bit puzzled, “I just had a comprehensive examination two days ago. Didn’t Mr. Chapman send you the results?”
Kennedy Green only checked his email then, “Ah, he did, I just didn’t notice.”
Generally speaking, if there’s an emergency, they’d call, and if it’s just an email, it’s probably routine reporting.
But Kennedy was too busy, only quickly scanning the email when he remembered.
Roy then relayed what Richelie Dunn had said that day, “Richelle said that the initial acupuncture results have met expectations, and as long as there are no accidents, surgery can be performed by mid-year.”
Kennedy Green was a very smart man and had a knack for picking up on key points when listening to others.
Hearing his nephew’s words, a faint grin of joy appeared on his face.
“Richelle? It seems that you’re getting along well with Master Seaton’s apprentice?”
Roy Lewis didn’t want his feelings to be influenced by too many factors, especially someone like his uncle who could directly influence life and death.
Although his uncle’s position would undoubtedly be on his side, that person, Richelle Dunn…
It took a lot of effort to appease her today, and he didn’t want any complications.
“It’s fine, there’s nothing going on, I should go now.”
Kennedy Green glanced at the time, “It’s getting late, let’s have dinner here.”
Roy Lewis had urgent matters to attend to at his company and excused himself after standing up.
Past 10 p.m., Richelle Dunn finally put the kids to bed and came out after taking a bath herself, relaxing and turning on her computer.
Although she hadn’t received any major news recently, she had a vague feeling that a massive storm was coming.
So, she had been working diligently to gather the information that her mysterious benefactor wanted in exchange for more top-secret intelligence about the Dunns and Jayden Dunn.
When she logged in, the benefactor, who rarely contacts her actively, surprisingly sent her a message today.
“What’s going on with United Ventures lately?”
Richelle Dunn was the first to reveal this information to the benefactor, so it was not surprising that he was curious.
“Still stringing Jayden Dunn along, waiting for the right opportunity to strike.”
Richelle was a principled person, and she wouldn’t give the other party anything extra if they had agreed upon an equal exchange.
The benefactor probably sensed that she didn’t want to divulge more and didn’t continue to inquire.
Richelle remained silent and focused on her work.
However, while she was busy, she suddenly remembered Hugo Camrey’s words from earlier in the day.
“Benefactor, what’s the deal with Jayden Dunn’s son, Harris Dunn?”
The benefactor was temperamental and didn’t reply for a long time.
Richelle thought he was ignoring her, so she turned her chair to get a glass of water before continuing her work.
With a “ding,” the benefactor replied.
“United Ventures’ purpose?”
The implication was that he wanted to exchange the information with her.
Richelle knew what the purpose of United Ventures was, but she couldn’t give the answer so quickly. Otherwise, the clever benefactor would see right through her instantly.
“Give me two days!”
“Deal!”
