I give the world destruction and new life

Chapter 362 Luthor's Road to Election
The continuous attacks and the deaths of the leaders of two major powers within three days have made everyone in this world realize that something big is about to happen. Even the low-level residents living in homeless people are looking for a more stable 'New home'.

And this phenomenon has become a little calmer when it comes to Night City, the city in the center of the eye of the storm.

When Tang Ji appeared in the demonstration city and rushed into the new W Palace to kill the respected federal leader, they drank at the bar and applauded Tang Ji at the same time. up.

On the other hand, when the superhuman armed forces attacked the Elysee Palace, the people of Night City also spent time in the bar. They don't know when they have gotten used to this exciting world pattern.

Are superhuman armed? Who hasn't seen a few?

Among other things, everyone in Night City knows that the Losas organization that disappeared is the current Walter Group, and that they planned the two Red Sun incidents, and they must have done it too.

Oh yeah, and the Omaha massacre
"Night City, Night City! I'm your old friend Stan, another boring Tuesday, well, I know I said the same thing yesterday, but apparently the news from Omaha proved me wrong, at least in Somewhere in the country, they had an unusual day.

First of all, let us pay a silent tribute to the victims. I know you are not sincere. After all, who cares about country bumpkins. The only reason we care about this news is of course the legend of Night City, Tang Ji!
That's right, our superhero, a part-time super-terrorist, also went to Omaha yesterday after killing our Grand Commander. I believe everyone has a video of him killing a superhuman terrorist circulating around.

Today's dead man's lottery will be a bit special. After all, compared with yesterday's fiery Omaha massacre, the small fights in Night City are a bit off the table, so we will use the death figures of the Omaha massacre As a lottery number!
That's it, have fun, Night City! "

The above is Night City's response to international current events, calmly, with a hint of banter, and absolutely no empathy.

If anything has changed on the streets, it's the Valentino gang.

As the godfather of the Valentino Gang, Machete has spent the past 15 years trying to put the whole gang on the right track. This is not to say that he wants to go ashore for nothing. In this era, anyone who puts down his gun will become someone else's dinner plate. food.

Machete's dream is to turn the Valentino Gang into the Valentino Group and become a member of the capital, but he really doesn't have this talent. Almost all investments beyond his knowledge have suffered losses in recent years state.

His only two formal transactions that make money, one is to invest in the Gym Chain of the Bear Gang, and the other is the stock of Colinning Company.
If the latter hadn't been taken over by the Walter Group, Machete would have almost become the first gang leader to bankrupt the gang because of his honesty.

Therefore, Guswarta, who just took a semester of law school, had to drop out of school, go home to inherit the family business, and officially become the acting leader of the Valentino Gang.

"We need to strengthen our armed forces, stockpile food, stockpile ammunition, and if possible, buy a large enough piece of land in the suburbs. We need an area that can be used as an emergency shelter." Guswarta wore a suit, meticulous cuffs and a bow tie Covering up his tattoos, this semester in law school has at least allowed him to aesthetically shed street style.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You learned this in law school?" Machete dissatisfied and patted the table. Unfortunately, this kind of behavior can no longer scare Guswarta.

"No, I learned a lot in law school, the most important of which is to look at the international situation out of my own class." Guswota turned and stood by the bed, looking at the busy streets outside: "Yesterday, the Omaha The streets were so quiet, and then dozens of trained metahumans took to the streets."

"Are there no street gangs in Omaha?" Guswarta took out a cigar from Machete's cigar box and sniffed it: "Of course there are, but they don't even have a chance to speak out. The times have changed, sir."

"A few months ago, Tang Ji alone could make all the prominent gang leaders in Night City sleepless at night. Whether we can live to see the sun the next day depends more on his mood." Guswota He lit his cigar and sat opposite the scimitar: "Now, if he is not happy, the leader of the federation, the general, can only pray that he hides deep enough. Now is the era of superhumans."

The scimitar was silent. Guswarta was right. In the past two months, the time of casualties caused by superhumans has surpassed that of street wars, and has become the biggest cause of death and injury among gang members.

The Lizzie Bar with superhumans sitting in the town let the Tiger Claw Gang cede land for compensation, and another emerging gang mainly composed of superhumans even ate up most of the territory left by the Death Gang, and had several conflicts with the Militia Gang, occupying upper hand.

The superhuman criminal gangs who commit crimes on a small scale completely ignore the order on the streets. In their eyes, gang strongholds are more suitable places for money than banks.

"The war is about to break out." Guswarta said suddenly: "The war between humans and superhumans, my classmates and my teachers all said so."

"I know, they plan to build a rich man's paradise in space." Machete also lit a cigar: "You have learned a lot."

"We need to make our own voice." Guswarta continued: "I plan to sponsor the mayor Luther's campaign. A commander who supports us will make it much easier for us."

"Now you are the leader, the boys below are all listening to you, you have the final say." The scimitar closed the cigar box, preventing Guswarta from taking another one: "Anyone with disobedient words Just tell me, and I'll send them to Tang Ji."

Guswarta hugged Machete, turned and left his office.

"The most urgent task is to restore order in Omaha and rescue the wounded. Many wounded have persisted in the ruins all night. They need help from the federal government." Luthor stood behind the stage of the press conference, sternly And Tan: "The families of the victims need comfort, and we need to make a strong response to prevent more attacks from happening."

"I want to tell those attackers, your atrocities will not scare us! Instead, you have authorized me and given us the truly terrifying right to retaliate!" Luthor pointed at the camera with a cold face: "I firmly believe that the Federation Still a great country, and we'll face it all!"

Luthor's tough speech greatly increased his support throughout the federation, especially at this special moment, he was the first one to stand up and hold a press conference after the president of the federation died at the press conference Candidate.

"Well said, Mr. Luther, I believe you will be a great commander." Mikkelsen applauded vigorously in the background, acting like an ordinary supporter.

"Thanks to your people for taking over my security work." The red-haired Luthor looked no older than 40 years old, with a resolute face and dignified features.

If you look at his video footage from previous years, his entire look has been fine-tuned, with every wrinkle carefully sculpted to give him a tough political stance.

This appearance is obviously more in line with Luthor's current concept of running for the election. For this reason, he deliberately wore a black suit, a dark blue shirt, and a gray and white striped tie to minimize the cynicism brought about by his red hair.

"More than that, Mr. Luther, I have always provided the best service." Mikkelsen whispered to Luther: "Tonight, I will introduce you to someone who can really protect your safety, believe me I will surprise you."

"I'm looking forward to it, Mikkelsen." Luthor didn't like this kind of mysticism, but he accepted the other party's 'goodwill' rationally: "Next, I need to meet with some supporters, at seven o'clock in the evening Can it be in a moment?"

"Of course." Mikkelsen winked at Luthor. He especially likes to see him trying to suppress the little annoyance in his heart. He hasn't played with politicians for a long time. This is reliving the old story .

According to his own plan, Luther met with two supporters, or sponsors. After the death of the current grand commander, the Federation began an emergency general election process, and Luther seized this opportunity.

In just four days, his approval rating increased by [-]%. His tough speech won him many supporters, and of course, many people opposed him.

His opponents used the two red sun incidents in Night City to attack him. Obviously, as a mayor, Luthor was not as tough as he claimed in front of the Lothas organization.

And Tang Ji is another attack point, but because of Tang Ji's particularity, those people can only vaguely say that Tang Ji still has an open residence in Night City, and there is no corresponding arrest operation.

This is of course nonsense, they don't even dare to publicly say Tang Ji's name, they can only refer to him as 'that person', but they want Luthor to sign the arrest warrant?
Luther smiled disdainfully, he is not a fool, not to mention who is capable of arresting Tang Ji, Tang Ji can be regarded as a point of support for him in public opinion, and many people who support Tang Ji think that he is in the political circle. This is an interesting misunderstanding, but Luthor didn't intend to explain it.

What's more, Tang Ji's current only record of imprisonment is in Night City Prison. Although the reasons for his imprisonment and his actions in prison are not humane, at least Night City's law enforcement system still maintains the legend that Tang Ji was arrested level of glory.

If it wasn't for worrying about being too deliberate, and the entire law enforcement agency has been outsourced by himself, Luthor would now want to hire that Mr. Edward back as the director of the Night City Law Enforcement Bureau.

At that time, the crime rate in the entire Night City may drop to the lowest point in history. Who would dare not give Edward face?Who dares to prevent Edward from stepping down?

Terrorist attacks?Street wars?If they don't want to encounter more horrific attacks and more intense wars, it's best to keep their tails tight and be human.

As a politician with the support of a family business and a billionaire himself, Luthor would never treat himself harshly in terms of living standards. He even used this as a selling point to show his luxurious lifestyle to his supporters.

So Luther booked the entire hotel as a meeting place for the mysterious guest tonight, on the one hand for the sake of safety, and on the other hand to prevent that guest from having any sensitive identities.

After all, in the past two days, Luthor has already rejected the invitations of the current leader of the Tiger Claw Gang and the leader of the Valentino Gang. If it were a year ago, he would naturally go to the appointment happily, and since then he will go to Night City. route, but now?
He will soon be the person in charge of the federation. What's the benefit of meeting such a person?
This good mood was maintained until Luther felt that he was going to the banquet scene. Under the protection of the bodyguards, he hurried through the unprotected distance of a few meters from the underground parking lot to the elevator, and arrived at the banquet hall.

Then, he saw Tang Ji... and a woman who looked a bit old.

The expressions of surprise, fear, and guilty conscience were all suppressed in an instant, and Luthor immediately showed a smile of admiration for meeting an old friend: "I didn't expect the mysterious guest to be you. Is it too late? A hero like you should be served with strong wine!"

But the two people who had already started eating in advance obviously did not cooperate with Luthor's plan. Mikkelsen pointed to the chair symbolically: "Sit here, it's done, I'm afraid you need to eat something before you can bear the news I heard today." .”

Luthor's smile was a little shorter. To be honest, he didn't want to know any secrets from the special commissioner of the Joint Investigation Office, but just like he refused the kindness offered by the other party before, he now refuses Can not meet the requirements of the other party.

"As the person closest to the position of the Federal Commander, there are some things you must know." Mikkelsen's voice echoed in the empty hall: "We are fighting a war between humans and high-dimensional creatures who call themselves players war."

After hearing the first sentence, Luther lost his appetite, and he felt a little nauseous.

"Tang Ji doesn't need my introduction. This lady is a prophet." Mikkelsen introduced: "If you watched the previous press conference, you should know a little about her, the founder of the Ark organization."

"Hello, ma'am." Of course, Luther had recognized the lady, but the other party was sitting with Tang Ji in peace, which made him a little confused.

"Actually, she persuaded me to support you as the Federal President." Mikkelsen said.

Thank you, Luther glanced at the old woman, but the strange smile on her face made him feel as if he had no clothes on.

"She can see the future, and in one of those futures, you've done well in this position," Mikkelsen concluded. "We need you to do it again."
