Terry Skars was well aware of the timeliness of his chips, and once William Hearst III's plan was implemented, everything was irretrievable, and he had to get in touch with the other party before that point in time.

The next day is Saturday, the last day of April.

After the shift, Terry Skars invited his partner, Chris Wenden, to Manhattan to buy some gifts for his family. Of course, he wanted to travel alone, but solo action was not allowed during the mission, and the Westeros family intelligence team was in many ways more demanding than the professional national intelligence services, and even unabashedly unkind.

The two drove to Manhattan and walked around some well-known shopping malls together for a few hours, until it was close to noon, and Terry Skars finally found an opportunity, on a sparsely populated street corner of Hell's Kitchen in Midtown, he quickly found a public phone while his partner went to the bathroom, decisively put coins, and dialed.

This is the phone number of an executive of the Hearst Group who has a good personal relationship with William III and has a personal position and is not very conspicuous, the number comes from the information of the intelligence team's previous mobile phone, Terry Skars confirmed that the executive is not in the monitoring range of the Westeros family intelligence team, and can directly contact William III through the other party.

A beeping sound soon sounded in the microphone, and Terry Skars felt his heart beat a little faster, and even felt a sense of panic inexplicably.

Agents who are deep in the shadows often have a very acute sixth sense.

Terry Scals had similar potential, and he quickly decided that the panic was not due to his betrayal of the Westeros, but to danger.

The agent subconsciously looked behind him.

Then the eyes suddenly enlarged.

At some point, two plainly dressed white men approached him, and when he noticed Terry Skars turn around, the two of them suddenly sped up, one of them expertly restrained him, and the other took out a needle and stabbed him in the neck.

On the side of the street, a black van drove slowly by, and the doors opened.

The two carried Terry Skars, who had fallen into a coma, into the carriage quickly, and the van restarted and quietly left.

At the entrance of the street, a couple saw all this with their own eyes, the girl subconsciously grabbed the boy's arm, the boy did not hesitate to wrap his arms around his girlfriend's waist, and the two turned around together, pretending not to see anything and walking in the opposite direction.

Near the phone booth, the middle-aged owner of the thrift store suddenly felt that it should not be suitable for business today, turned over the 'OPEN' sign, locked the door of the store, and walked to the private residence behind the store.

On the residential building across the street, a young man who was exercising picked up the phone and dialed 911, staring at the black Ford van on the street, and skillfully reporting the license plate number to the police on the opposite side.

On the other side of the street, the black van turned, accelerated, turned a few streets, and then burrowed into an alley, a roller shutter door opened on the side of the alley, the van drove in, and the group came out again, already on the other side of the street to change into a white Chevrolet SUV.

Several police cars circled around the neighborhood and found no sign of the black van, so they had to take the police call as another commonplace false alarm.

The phone booth that Terry Scals had just used, picked up the hanging microphone with one hand and listened, and there was already a busy sound on the other side, so he hung it up casually, walked to a nearby bench and sat down, took out his cigarette with some surprise, hesitated and put it back.

Chris Wenden walked out of Starbucks on the street with twice as much coffee, sat down in front of the man, handed over a cup, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Boss, what will happen to Terry?"

Martin Dinham didn't have the heart to drink coffee, put it aside casually, and said, "If he didn't dial the phone just now, it's just an expulsion." ”

Chris Wenden paused, didn't ask any more questions, and instead said, "What about Terry's family?"

Martin Dinham said, "We found out about it, Terry's family...... As long as you can forget about him, you'll be fine. When this is over, I will personally go back to Melbourne and talk to them, Terry will be killed, and each of them will deduct a part of their annual salary, and make up $1 million to give them as a pension. ”

Martin Dinham said, turned his head to look at Chris Wenden, and said, "The boss said, only this once, so, I don't want you to have any problems again, because next time, it won't be so simple." ”

Chris Wenden took a sip of his coffee and shook his head, "I don't understand why Terry is doing this. Now that everyone is getting a good salary, they have the most perfect security, and their children are studying in those private schools that can only be entered by high society, why should he ruin all this?"

Martin Dineham said: "In fact, there is even better, in the future, our children will become the most central Westerosian, can get the highest priority of the Westeros system, and become the real aristocratic class that controls the political, economic, and cultural trends of this era." ”

Westerosian, though only hearing the word for the first time, immediately understood what it meant.

Looking at Martin Dineham with a little excitement in surprise, Chris Wenden confirmed: "Westerosian, is this a promise from the boss?"

Martin Dinham nodded and said, "Of course, didn't you notice that the boss is already making a similar layout." The Westeros system is already a large economy that can compete with many countries, and such a huge economic system will definitely need to be controlled by many descendants. Our children, as long as they can become talents, will be given the highest priority for promotion opportunities because of us. ”

Chris Wenden understood the subtext that Martin didn't continue.

All of this, provided that they pay enough loyalty to the Westeros system,

After a moment, Chris Wenden said, "I don't know if Terry will regret it." ”

Martin Dinham didn't answer, but said: "It was the boss who asked me to tell everyone just now, I have already talked to you, and finally there is one point, if you feel that you can't bear this job, you can apply for retirement at any time, the Westeros system will arrange another legitimate job for everyone, and the children's upward channel will not be cut off." The only thing not to do is to betray. ”

Chris Wenden nodded solemnly.

Martin Dinham looked up at the sky, got up and said, "Let's go, there's still a lot of work to be done today." ”

Chris Wenden followed suit, walked with Martin Dinham to a nearby car, and when he got into the car, he took one last look at the phone booth on the side of the street, and sighed, if Terry Scals was not completely dizzy, with his professional agent's proper quality, he should be able to easily spot the abnormality, such as so many opportunities when he just visited the mall, why did he choose such a deserted street to borrow a toilet from Starbucks on the side of the road.

A call that didn't follow up didn't change the course of something in the slightest.

When a betrayer of the Westeros intelligence team quietly disappears into the world, William Hirst III's assistant Roger Hall rediscovers Doris Fetcher, the former Victorian maid who has been crushed by the Westeros' $12 million lawsuit.

After listening to Roger Halls's plan to use the 'bitter love show' to win public sympathy, the desperate Doris Ficher decisively agreed.

Because she didn't expect another layer of Roger Halls's intentions, Doris Feicher just invited her lawyer to watch over her, and swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills at about 8 o'clock on Saturday night.

Then, the ambulance arrived.

Unbeknownst to some people, all of this was captured by cameras installed by the Westeros intelligence team, the next day, a number of mainstream newspapers owned by the Hearst family reported that the former Victorian maid had been forced to commit suicide because of the Westeros' malicious lawsuit.

The public is always inclined to sympathize with the weak.

Not only that, but Sunday happens to be May 1, International Labor Day.

Although Labor Day in the United States falls on the first Monday of September every year, and International Labor Day is not a federal holiday, labor unions in the United States still organize some activities on this day.

Instigated by the Hearst Group newspapers, many union members blocked the headquarters of many subsidiaries of the Westeros system that day, denouncing Simon Westeros for his ruthlessness, and some even petitioned the federal authorities to investigate Simon Westeros for murder, because they did not believe that Doris Ficher had committed suicide, and there must be an ulterior secret in it.

The sudden storm of public opinion did turn public attention away from the racist Holocaust in Rwanda, as William III had hoped.

While the Hearst Group was planning to launch a larger public opinion offensive to force the Westeros system to abandon its targeting of the Hearst family, early on Monday morning, May 2, with many "chase" articles by the Hearst Group, the Eagle portal suddenly blew a headline with a simple headline: "The so-called truth about 'Citizen Kane'." ”

At the heart of the news was a video of William Hearst III instructing his assistant to arrange for Doris Ficher to 'commit suicide'.

At the end of the article, a classic line from "Citizen Kane", which is being re-screened, was also modified: You come to make death, and I am responsible for fooling the public.

This news is like a nuclear bomb that was suddenly thrown, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Not only that, but the Eaglet portal also published another video of William Hirst III planning to shut down three newspapers and put a large number of workers out of work in order to put pressure on the Westeros system.

For a moment, the public, feeling fooled, immediately pointed the finger at the Hearst family, and the headquarters of the Hearst Group in Manhattan was surrounded by thousands of people.

Because of the murder, the FBI in New York acted as soon as possible to arrest William Hearst III and his assistant Roger Halls, and then, William Hearst III was released after paying a huge bail of $10 million, and directly registered to flee to Europe.

If the Hearst Group can barely survive in the face of the Westeros system's total ban and lawsuit bombardment, this huge scandal involving the murder case directly pushed the Hearst Group into the abyss.

In the following days, many advertisers who were not affected by the Westeros system publicly announced the termination of their cooperation with the old media giant in order to get rid of the negative impact that the Hearst Group might bring to themselves, and the federal public set off a trend of unsubscribing from the newspapers and magazines of the Hearst Group.

Many politicians who had previously said some good things about the Hearst Group were also afraid to avoid it at this time.

At the same time as the investigation into the murder of Doris Ficher was officially launched, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) also launched an investigation into the media outlets owned by the Hearst Group. More than 1,100 employees who lost their jobs after the closure of the three newspapers, backed by major newspaper industry unions in the United States, also filed a class action lawsuit against the Hearst Group, demanding huge claims.

If the wind and rain are cloudy, the building will fall.

There was already infighting within the Hearst family when they were targeted by the Westeros system, and several other families demanded that William Hearst III relinquish control of the family business.

Now, William Hirst III has fled to Europe, and the control of the Hearst Group has become a hot potato, and finally falls to the 79-year-old Randolph Hirst, the fourth son of William Hirst's five children and the only living one of the second generation of Hearst.

Over the years, the control of the family has been in the hands of the second room, and Randolph Hirst, who is pampered and enjoys life, does not know how to manage the company at all, and after being pushed out by a large family, he is also in a hurry for a while.

Murder scandals, six huge lawsuits totaling $370 million, family unrest, class-action lawsuits by union-backed workers, a strong blockade of the Westeros system, and a one-sided public unsubscribe from Hearst newspapers and magazines...... It's a mess like a mess that Randolph Hearst can't handle at all.

However, after urgent consultations within the family, the key to the matter was grasped.

Simon Westeros.

The only way for the Hearst Group to survive is to settle with the Westeros system.

So, on May 5, Randolph Hearst personally flew from New York to Los Angeles, hoping to meet Simon, in order to ease the relationship with Westeros as much as possible, Randolph Hearst also brought his daughter Patti Hearst and his little granddaughter Lydia Hearst, it is said that Simon Westeros likes Lydia very much, and invited the little girl to participate in Daenerys Entertainment's movies.

Although, according to the information received by Randolph Hirst, Westeros is more likely to be interested in his daughter, however, many things are not so much to worry about.

After asking for some connections, it wasn't until May 7 that Simon Westeros responded, but only invited Patti Hirst and Lydia Hirst to dine at Daenerys Studios at noon, completely ignoring Randolph Hirst.

For the sake of the family, Randolph Hearst personally explained to his daughter, and at noon, the mother and daughter were sent to Daenerys Studios together.
