Chapter 32: Sacrificing His Wife and Children

Edward arrives at the door of a hotel in Washington, D.C., and instead of entering the hotel, he arrives at a telephone booth near the hotel, which to outsiders looks like he is about to make a public phone.

He threw in two coins, pressed a number, and the phone was quickly dialed, and there was only one sentence on the phone, Starbucks on the corner 2 blocks away, walking.

Edward came to the Starbucks as promised, and at the door of the Starbucks, Edward saw a street artist who was painting.

The street artist approached Edward and said, "Sir, do you want an abstract painting that shows the future?" Only $10. ”

Edward immediately took out $10 and gave it to the artist.

Edward looked at the painting, and it was clear that it was about a well-known riverside street in Washington. Edward understood that the "kingmaker" would be there waiting for him.

By the time they reached the riverside street, it was already dark, and Edward saw a figure in the distance.

Edward walked into him, and the figure made a small voice, "Stand there and don't move, both of us are in the dead end of the camera." ”

Edward didn't move, only listened to the black shadow say, "Edward, I see that you look good. ”

"I'm excited to know you're looking for me!" Edward said.

The dark shadow let out a faint laugh and continued, "I know you've been hidden in the snow for too long, but it also shows that the Grim Reaper will value you, doesn't it?" You became a member of Congress at a very young age, and although no one pays attention to you and no one is optimistic about your future, it also protects you. ”

Edward nodded and said, "I know that if I perform too well, then in the trouble caused by Leng Yun before, I will also become cannon fodder, and the Reaper Society will lose a strain pawn." ”

"You're smart......," said the shadow, "but don't be too smart, didn't your predecessors be too smart?" ”

Edward nodded hurriedly and said, "I will do everything according to the instructions of the Reaper Society, and there will be absolutely no arbitrariness." ”

The Black Shadow smiled and said, "I knew that I, the 'King Maker', didn't choose the wrong person, so you had to make a sacrifice at the celebration in 3 days. ”

"What celebration?" Edward asked curiously, "What sacrifice am I going to make?" ”

"Three days later, on this little street along the river, there will be a celebration of a historical figure in Washington," said the "Kingmaker." This festival was held 10 years ago, so people should remember it. ”

Edward nodded and said, "Do you want me to give a speech at the celebration?" ”

The "King Maker" shook his head and said, "Your idea is still too conservative, now that the vice president is about to ascend to the presidency, he will nominate the secretary of state, of course, this is a few months later, but a few months, it should be able to make your exposure rise to the level of becoming a secretary of state, or at least a permanent secretary of state." ”

Edward said, "But isn't the current Secretary of State a member of the Reaper? ”

"The Man Who Made the King" said: "Things are not as simple as you think, although the Secretary of State is a member of the Reaper Society, but he is the old department of the Reaper Nine, and he will soon have an accident. When the time comes, the Deputy Secretary of State will temporarily take over the position of Secretary of State, and when Vice President takes office, I want you to be the new Secretary of State. ”

Edward said: "But the permanent secretary of state is very popular, and even if I am nominated, it will be difficult to convince the public, right?" ”

The "King Maker" smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this, what you have to worry about is whether you are willing to sacrifice your wife and your lovely son and daughter." ”

Edward was puzzled and asked, "What does that mean?" ”

"On the day of the celebration, a large truck will fall off the road above because it has lost control, and you, your wife and children will pass underneath. At that time, there will be a school where a lot of elementary school students will pass by, and when the time comes, you will throw those elementary school students outside, and you will be injured, and your wife and a son and a daughter will die. ”

"What? How so? Edward was a little agitated and said, "Why do my wives and children die?" ”

"Because they're just like you, they want to get rid of those schoolboys, at least, that's what we'll say in the media." ”

Edward did not speak.

And the "kingmaker" continued: "Of course, you are next to you when the wagon falls, and you may also be stoned to death, but only in this way is it more convincing." So, you must follow the route and speed that I have designed for you. ”

Edward said, "But if there is a slight difference, will I die?" ”

"Then don't make any mistakes!" The voice of the "kingmaker" suddenly became louder, "Do you still remember this path?" Since you were 8 years old, we basically met every 5 years, I watched you grow up, and I don't want you to die! ”

"I didn't mean that......" Edward hastily explained.

The "King Maker" ignored Edward's explanation, and continued: "Every five years, I will let you move forward a little bit, from elementary school to college graduation, to your work in the presidential secretariat, to your enlistment in the army, every time you grow, I remember, and I work hard for it, so, I don't want to hear that you are planning to give up new heights in your life because of your timidity!" ”

Edward burst into tears and choked up, "I know, you love me like a father, I know ......"

Hearing this, the tone of the "kingmaker" softened and said: "A truck, the weight is about 10 tons, and the trajectory that falls from it can be judged. As long as you're where you're supposed to be and act according to the plan, you'll only get a small impact, and at most you'll break a few ribs. ”

Edward knew that the plans of the "kingmaker" had never failed, and his plans had never failed, whether it was to put people in high positions or to plot assassinations, he had planned accurately.

However, after all, he would sacrifice his wife and children, and Edward still couldn't bear it.

However, after a long time, Edward only asked the "kingmaker" one sentence - "How to arrange it?" ”

The "Kingmaker" laughed and said, "That's right, my Edward, you're right. ”

After speaking, the "king-maker" stopped talking, quietly looked into the distance and said: "As for the plan, you don't need to know, you just need to act according to the hints I gave you on the road on the day of the festival." The less you know, the less chance you have of being exposed in front of the media and in front of the police and federal agents. ”
