Chapter 209: Civil War

Jacob and Jaden's feud was real, just not nearly as intense as they let on.

Everyone knows that Jaden is Ricky's confidant, and arranging for Jaden to obtain the qualification to take the pill is an acceptable selfish desire. Some people even think that the five new extraordinary people can be considered his people.

Jacob, who had always been secretly trained by Richie, was quickly included in the investigation of the commander-in-chief who lacked trustworthy people because of his feud with Jaden, who was Richie's confidant. In addition, the Walton family was on the list of large families attending the meeting revealed by Richie through a third party, which further reduced Jamie's reliability in the commander-in-chief's mind.

The commander-in-chief seemed to have made a choice, but from his point of view, there was actually no better choice.

If the former Carlos were still alive, perhaps there would be more variables.

But it doesn’t matter. The worst plan is that he and the Wolf Lord work together and probably can destroy the bunker from other directions. As long as there is a tiny gap, he can find a way to get in.

Looking at the commander-in-chief's corpse, the masked man's wolf claws gradually returned to normal, and the wolf hair stuck on them slowly fell off.

Now, the Commander-in-Chief was killed by "werewolf" Jacob, and it had nothing to do with the masked man.

"Commander, I'm going up." Jacob cut off the commander-in-chief's head and looked at the passage that had been opened in front.

"The mission was completed brilliantly. You should go to Maple Country and rest for a while." The masked man did not reminisce with Jacob for too long, as the plan was still not completed.

Jacob nodded and left the place quickly.

The masked man cleaned up the scene, cleared away anything that might have left a record, turned into a pool of silver-white fluid again, and left the bunker.

The battle outside has become fierce. The agents who are close to them are no match for these inhuman monsters. It is a one-way massacre. Only Jaden can "survive with difficulty" among several werewolves.

Jamie's situation was not optimistic either. The wolf-headed goose had been dealt with by him, but those were only appetizers. The Wolf King was the main course, and he fed Jamie one dish after another.

His ability has a very high upper limit and a very low lower limit. If it can be coordinated with other extraordinary people, the effect of 1+1 can be greater than 2. However, Jaden seemed to be deaf and completely ignored his calls.

Just when he was about to collapse, a figure jumped out from the ruins and threw a round head towards the Wolf Lord.

When Lord Wolf saw the face of the head clearly, he immediately caught it with his hand which was about to slap it away.

"Lord Wolf, I have fulfilled my mission. My mission is accomplished."

Jacob shouted this, looked at Jamie's incredulous expression, left a mocking look, and turned to flee the scene.

"?" Lord Wolf was somewhat puzzled.

Could this be Sandberg's hidden chess piece? But he did not sense the presence of wolf blood in Jacob.

Or maybe Sandberg directly persuaded a human supernatural being to surrender, but felt that the chances were slim, so he didn't tell himself?

But no matter what, the purpose of his coming here seemed to have been achieved unexpectedly, which was not bad, at least not too many lives would be lost.

"Aha!"

Jamie rushed forward with all his strength, trying to snatch back the head.

The Wolf Lord hesitated for a moment and chose to throw his head over. It was enough to confirm the death. There was no need to insult further, which would only arouse the other party's anger.

Seeing this, Jamie immediately changed direction and headed for the head.

"Ouch——"

The Wolf Lord raised his head and shouted loudly. The werewolves below, who had almost completed the task of clearing the area, did not linger in the fight but turned around and left. According to the original plan, they would find a way to leave during the chaos, while the Wolf Lord would walk around the city a few more times to attract most of the attention.

In just a moment, all that was left here was a veritable mess.

The White Palace, all the meanings given to this building, seemed to be shattered like the ruins on the scene.

Jamie caught the commander-in-chief's head, and after confirming again and again that this was the man he was familiar with, he turned with a tense face and walked towards the bunker.

What was left for him inside were corpses that looked similar to the ones above.

Walking up to the headless corpse, he gently placed the head back on the body, feeling dazed and unable to sense reality.

He had no feelings for the commander-in-chief, but he also knew what it meant for the commander-in-chief to be killed.

"Captain, we must call the deputy commander now."

Jaden had arrived at the bunker with a few remaining agents at some point and proposed to Jamie.

The deputy commander is known as the most useless senior official in Ami. His only role is that everyone hopes he will not play a role.

But now, this fuse still needs to come into play.

Jamie was no longer in the mood to argue with him about what happened during the battle, and quickly informed Director Edgar of the news.

"Everyone, we are in big trouble."

This was Edgar's first words after he hung up the phone.

Of course he knew that he had been attacked, but the fact that the extraordinary person chosen by the commander-in-chief Jacob was actually the Wolf Lord's man, and he even beheaded the commander-in-chief, made them feel uneasy.

To make matters worse, the riots in Washington were not over yet.

The Wolf Lord, who was hovering over the city, sensed the presence of other werewolves nearby. He flew over and saw that there were a dozen werewolves creating chaos and confronting the police.

The giant beast transformed like a pterosaur swooped down, and the police immediately gave up this asymmetric confrontation and fled the scene in panic.

"Why are you here?" The Wolf Lord looked at them.

"Lord Wolf! We were sent to the masked man by Lord Sandberg. He asked us to support your actions here." The leading werewolf was as excited as if he had seen his idol.

Is this Sandberg's plan again?
Lord Wolf looked at the corpses scattered all over the ground and felt a little depressed.

"Mission accomplished, you guys, find a way to get back."

"Yes!"

Naturally, they would not disobey the orders of the highest level of wolf bloodline. They immediately howled, gathered all the werewolves together, saluted the Wolf Lord, and then turned around and fled.

The Wolf Lord glanced around and saw fear in the eyes of the people behind the glass.

And just as those people wished, he did not cause any damage, but spread his wings and flew into the sky, continuing to attract attention.

Augustus on the roof watched him go away. This time, he seemed to have taken advantage. There was no existence that could pose a threat to the Wolf Lord, so he didn't need to take action.

"I'm here. My research has reached a bottleneck. Maybe I should go shopping more?"

He turned his head and looked at the pentagonal building.

".I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and to the best of my ability, preserve and uphold it." Vice President Lyndon hastily completed the swearing-in ceremony at the Pentagon, presided over by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and watched by many senior officials, and officially succeeded to become the new President. His first move was to declare a state of emergency, set up the Pentagon as a temporary office, and mobilize the National Guard and the army to garrison.

A new round of internal investigations into werewolves was launched to allow the front-line troops to maintain the status quo and enter a unilateral ceasefire, although in fact the attacks launched by the Nature Kingdom on them were not even as many as those launched by the Maple Kingdom's spontaneously organized militia.

He claimed that he lacked experience and nominated Bush as the vice presidential candidate, submitting it to Congress for review.

Generally speaking, it is difficult for a vice president appointed directly by the president to gain approval from Congress, and since Bush was once the president, asking him to come back as deputy is simply a humiliation.

But it was so unusual that Bush readily accepted it, and Congress passed the decision at an astonishing speed, setting a precedent for a former president to serve as vice president.

Everything seemed to have been prepared in advance, which was dazzling.

The Wolf Lord did not continue to cause any more destruction. After circling the city, he left in full view of everyone. Linden just symbolically arranged for a few fighter helicopters to launch a few missiles. It was more like a farewell than a battle.

As a great country, the death of Commander Ami spread quickly throughout the world, along with a large amount of various negative information. The most important of these was the suggestion that the Commander had taken the initiative to instigate a war against the Natural Kingdom, and was now invading territory that had belonged to the Maple Kingdom. Ending up like this was self-destruction.

The commander-in-chief probably could never have imagined that his reputation would plummet just a few days after his death.

With a large number of media guiding public opinion, even such a big thing does not seem so difficult to accept.

Except for Texas, where they are already clamoring to bulldoze every monkey in the natural kingdom and take every banana from them.

Even though there are no wolf monkeys under the Wolf Lord, let alone bananas.

After a few days of calm, the manor where the secret meeting was held welcomed more guests, including the two commanders-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief.

"Robson, now that things have come to this, don't you see the situation clearly? The person you bet on is dead, so why should we continue to confront each other? Believe me, I will rebuild a country that will belong to us forever, and we will be its eternal rulers. What do you think of the name of the Immortal Elders? And you will be a member of it. Let's work together to explore the mysteries of the extraordinary. Maybe immortality is really not so untouchable."

This was Bush's last exhortation.

He didn't want to attack Robson. Not to mention that they nominally belonged to the Holy Infant Society, the most important thing was that he had an extraordinary son. If they really had to fight to the death, no one would feel good.

Moreover, the situation is becoming clearer now. Except for the inexplicably missing family of the former commander-in-chief, everything else is basically under his control. Even if Robson is still stubborn, releasing him will not cause any disturbance to the overall situation.

"Give up, I won't join." Robson shook his head slightly.

"Well, in that case, I won't force you. You can go back." Bush opened the door generously and let him leave.

The rice was cooked. Robson, who had been under house arrest, regained his freedom. He walked out of the room, passed through the hall, and left amid many mocking looks.

From today on, they are no longer the same kind of people, and even Jamie will be gradually excluded by them.

But they didn't know that the person Robson bet on was never the President, but himself.

"Kayden, are you ready?"

"Father, the commander-in-chief's widow and Texas have seen our evidence and have agreed to join us. The masked man has also helped us control California. Lieutenant General Rich has promised that he will be the first to 'serve the king' and take over control of California. He will respect the commander-in-chief's widow as the temporary commander and protect us in the southwest."

"Where's Jamie?"

"He couldn't be contacted. Lieutenant General Rich's confidant Jayden said he might have gone to the front line."

".Switch it. Ask the masked man to come back to Texas to help us, and let Jaden go to California to help his old boss."

"I understand."

Robson rushed to Texas and looked out the window. It was a suburb with continuous residential houses, women walking their dogs, and men jogging. It was generally peaceful, but in his eyes, this peace was like the most beautiful moment of a bubble, which was only a cliff away from bursting.

The people don’t know it yet, but civil war is imminent.

Maybe he is the first domino.

The entire America will be plunged into chaos.

As a businessman, it is unqualified for him to do so. After all, he is not engaged in arms or medicine. Actively creating a non-peaceful environment does not bring much benefit but countless disadvantages.

But having seen the extraordinary, he knew that money was worthless, and only power could possibly catch the attention of the extraordinary.

In his opinion, Bush is too ambitious. There are different types of obedience, and he is the most obedient one.

Five days later, Lyndon suddenly fell seriously ill and could no longer hold the important position of President, so he announced his resignation.

Bush, as the deputy president, was appointed to take over quickly.

In less than half a month, three great commanders were appointed. If there were no age limit for civil servants, a baby less than one month old could call himself a veteran of three dynasties.

People have some idea that something is not right, but once the media starts to get involved, they will quickly be drawn to other things.

Unfortunately, this was exactly what Robson was waiting for.

The shady dealings were first exposed in Texas and California, exposing the secret manipulations of the so-called big families and their attempts to murder their leaders to everyone's attention. Also exposed were the large number of deaths and injuries caused by werewolves in Washington and the tragic death of the leader. This was tantamount to telling them directly that the current top leaders are all traitors!
In the camera, the topic they discussed was so chilling. The fate of a great commander was so easily determined by them.

They betrayed the commander-in-chief, causing him to die at the hands of werewolves. Now they are colluding with the Wolf Lord for their own interests. If we allow them to continue like this, I can’t believe whether this land blessed by God will be the world of humans or the world of werewolves!
Public opinion exploded instantly and could not be covered up at all. Even though the Internet was cut off, the news was shocking enough for people to spread the news by word of mouth.

The President's widow finally stood up, and in tears, she listed Bush's ten crimes in front of the camera, saying that her husband died for his country but ended up in such a disgrace, all because of the old man Bush's manipulation. If he becomes the President, it will be a disaster for America and a regression of human civilization.

Texas responded immediately, expelled other federal states from its membership, recognized the President's widow as the interim President of the Federation, denied a number of senior officials including Bush, and resolutely implemented the President's will, declaring that the Wolf Lord must be eliminated and that there can only be one intelligent race in this world!

The situation began to spiral out of control, but the next day, California announced that it responded to Texas' call, believing that they were the orthodox state. It established a Southwest Mutual Protection Agreement with Texas and would send troops as soon as possible to restore order to the world.

The soldiers outside were all confused. I was still on the front line, so how come the rear suddenly split apart? !

Although most of the military is still in the federation, unfortunately the morale of the people is also unsettled.

The linkage between the first and second dominoes brought about an extraordinary impact, causing some states to begin to move. The federal government even discovered that some military bases abroad could no longer be commanded.

Yokohama base.

Ricky in the office was dressed neatly and flipping through the book in his hand.

"So this is what you mean by sending troops to Luoyang."

He felt like he had learned a new word, and it was just right.

"Commander, everyone is ready and waiting for your departure speech."

"Well, here we go."

Richie closed the book in his hand and put it on the table. The staff officer took a curious look at it and saw that the cover was about the History of the Japanese Warring States Period.
