Chapter 1770: Chapter 671: Ultimately, One Must Bow Their Head (2)

Harold Ikes’ face tightened, at this moment he would prefer to believe that more people were coming to pour salt in the wound, rather than to deliver hope in a desperate situation!

Yet, Harold Ikes still answered the phone.

The voice on the other end made Harold Ikes’ heart beat faster.

"Just received a call, the newly appointed Secretary of the Interior is preparing to investigate the projects already approved by the Public Works Administration.

They will thoroughly investigate any power-money transactions involved!"

Harold Ikes’ words made the atmosphere in the office condense again.

Are the companies that took over the White House project really clean?

Obviously not.

But for the other party to suddenly announce this matter so high-profile at this time, it clearly isn’t just to flaunt their integrity.

It’s to settle accounts with Harold Ikes’ connections.

"Countless people’s interests are intertwined in this, aren’t they worried that doing this will cause chaos within the Public Works Administration and the Ministry of Interior?"

Harry Woodlin said angrily.

Although their past connections couldn’t support them in the competition against Venus Bank.

There were indeed countless ties of interest back then, so in everyone’s minds, the FBI could investigate Earth Architecture, Cross Military, but couldn’t really focus their investigations on Harold Ikes and his associates.

After all, they simply couldn’t contend against Donnie Block, not that they have no connections left!

Cohen Eaton coldly explained: "Why worry, they’re investigating those associated with Mr. Ikes, even directly targeting Mr. Ikes.

But it’s not about handling everyone.

During this process, I believe there will be someone, no, a large number of people who betray.

Then, rally most people, deal with a few, and the influence naturally diminishes.

As for Mr. Harold Ikes...

Maybe in this investigation process, his influence will be completely gone!"

At this thought, Harold Ikes finally showed a panicked expression.

At his level, if one day he truly lost his influence, there would be two outcomes.

First, live honestly as a ’regular person’, occasionally giving some speeches, still capable of fooling some people’s wealth.

But never able to return to the pinnacle of power again.

That’s a relatively good outcome.

If it’s the second outcome...

As a former Secretary of the Interior, Harold Ikes had interests tied with countless forces, if one day he really had to face retribution.

Then those interest connections would become the scythe of death, cutting towards him.

Just when Harold Ikes didn’t know how to deal with the situation at hand, the office phone rang again.

At this moment, those in the room looked at the ringing phone, surprisingly not daring to answer it.

Eventually, it was Cohen Eaton who picked up the phone.

Everyone stared at Cohen Eaton, when Harry Woodlin saw Cohen Eaton’s gaze turn to him, he couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Sure enough, Cohen Eaton handed the receiver to Harry Woodlin.

Harry Woodlin hesitated for a moment, but still answered the phone.

Everyone’s gaze returned to Harry Woodlin.

Soon, Harry Woodlin, with a vacant look, put down the phone.

"What happened?" Nate Rothschild asked nervously.

Harry Woodlin paused, then said: "The United States Navy Intelligence has just announced plans to investigate whether there are power-money transactions in the cooperation between the Navy and Cross Military!"

Everyone sank in their hearts.

Even though they had just confirmed that Donnie Block’s counterattack had left them scrambling, now they were still afraid of the intensity of Donnie Block’s counterattack.

Even the Navy Intelligence is obeying Donnie Block’s orders.

So at this time, in the United States, what departments don’t have Venus Bank’s people?

"He’s showing everyone his power, to make everyone understand the consequences of opposing Venus Bank!"

Nate Rothschild said with some fear.

Everyone knows that Donnie Block has a vast network of connections in U.S. politics.

Yet they still couldn’t imagine that Donnie Block’s network was this extensive.

So extensive that it made breathing difficult for these people!

"Saying these things now is useless!"

Cohen Eaton looked at Nate Rothschild indifferently and spoke quietly.

"What we should think about now is how to calm Donnie Block’s anger.

Otherwise, this series of events will plunge each of us into a disastrous abyss!"

At this moment, they have no choice whatsoever.

Only to bow down to Donnie, even kneeling.

What they prayed for was merely for Donnie Block to spare them, to spare their former pride!

Otherwise, no one in this room will have a good outcome.

Nate Rothschild sat on the sofa, eyes vacant, no one knew what he was thinking.

Cohen Eaton looked at such Nate Rothschild and continued to speak.

"Mr. Rothschild, I don’t care what kind of relationship you have with Chase Bank’s shareholders, by this point, those people will definitely consider themselves first.

So you also need to prepare!"

After speaking, Cohen Eaton got up and opened his office door, the swirling smoke instantly poured out, an uninformed person might think it was on fire!

"Eaton, what are you doing?"

Harry Woodlin looked at Cohen Eaton’s actions and asked loudly.

Cohen Eaton calmly replied: "What else can be done, head to Los Angeles immediately to seek Mr. Donnie Block’s forgiveness!"

The people in the office froze for a moment, but felt that Cohen Eaton’s decision was not wrong.

After all, apart from bowing to Donnie, they really had nothing else they could do!

So the choice was to lower their noble heads?

Or continue to maintain their pathetic pride, and wait for the scythe to swing towards them?

This was not a difficult choice now!

Harold Ikes was the first to stand up, he was a pure politician, very clear that his pride was useless at this time.

Only by maintaining his current status can they still have their pride in front of others.

Harry Woodlin sat on the sofa, his face alternating between black and red.

Of course, he understood this now.

But his personality still made him angry about such a decision.

This anger made it hard for him to decide.

Nate Rothschild also stood up at this time, in reality, he was the most helpless.

Because the Rothschild family had already bowed down to Donnie before.

Nate Rothschild instead thought that bowing down to Donnie now was indeed appropriate.

After all, the Rothschild family was now so miserable, Donnie Block’s revenge operation also seemed to achieve its purpose.

What more could they hope for!

The Rothschild family was the chosen people of God!

Watching Nate Rothschild rise, Harry Woodlin sighed long, any anger was useless now.

He eventually stood up with a suffocated expression.

"Fine, we lost, let’s go apologize to Donnie Block!"

Harry Woodlin said with self-pity.

The other three looking at his demeanor said nothing.

What was there to say now.

Cohen Eaton called his assistant and instructed: "Ross, arrange a train to Los Angeles!"

Ross stood in front of Cohen Eaton, still respectful, but did not follow Cohen Eaton’s instructions.

"Didn’t you hear what I said?"

Cohen Eaton said somewhat angrily.

Ross replied with his head bowed: "Sir, if you’re going to Los Angeles to see Mr. Block, then there’s no need to go.

Mr. Block asked me to inform you that he will notify you all when he reaches New York!"
