Chapter 972 -872: Output by Riding on the Face

In a luxury hotel on Manhattan’s Broadway, Ika walked into the hotel suite carrying a stack of campaign speeches.

Watching Dad in a suit standing in front of a full-length mirror, pursing his lips with a stern expression, he frequently checked himself out from different angles for the most impressive look…

Ika set down the speeches and said, “Dad, all these speeches have been revised according to your instructions.

Don’t you want to go downstairs and greet the guests?”

Big Mouth Tang pursed his lips, shook his head, and waved his hand, “No need, I want to finish this speech first, then I’ll talk to them.

Ika, in the past, those people wanted our money, now they want our power, we don’t have to be too polite to them.”

Ika was amused and distressed by her own father’s tone, but as the campaign progressed, Big Mouth Tang’s authority seemed to grow increasingly strong, forcing Ika to lower her head and say, “Dad, it’s best not to be like this, before the final results come out…”

Big Mouth Tang waved his hand to stop his daughter, put on a red baseball cap to cover the bald spot on the back of his head, and asked, “How do I look now?”

As he spoke, Big Mouth Tang saw the worried look on Ika’s face, and he laughed, “Don’t worry, Jared’s company has done the calculations; as long as I can successfully secure Oregon and Idaho, I can win this election.”

Ika looked at her dad, a bit too pleased with himself, and said, “Dad, Tom Reed hasn’t been answering his phone at all, and just yesterday a reporter caught him meeting with Rashiri’s campaign team at the racetrack…”

Big Mouth Tang heard this and said unconcernedly, “No matter, Hu Lang is already on his way, and Tom Reed can be left to him to handle.

We are allies, it’s his responsibility…”

This is what worried Ika; she knew all too well what her father and husband had been up to recently…

For the campaign, for business, they promised, promised, and promised…

But among those they made promises to, there was no Hu Lang, no Steven, and no Eric who had almost died.

Ika was quite familiar with Gami, and because of the incident in Los Angeles where the Princess was snatched away, she was very curious about Joe Ga, so she collected a lot of information about P·B.

She wasn’t just a pretty face; she was an intelligent modern elite woman, understanding what the content revealed in those files represented…

Powerful to the point of unreasonableness, brutal tactics, and a hint of a nascent power network’s outline.

Seeing her father’s unconcerned attitude, Ika worriedly said, “Dad, what if Hu Lang doesn’t want to help?”

Big Mouth Tang paused, then scoffed and waved his hand, “My dear, if this time is an investment, then it’s time to see the results of this investment, no one will give up at this stage.

It’s business strategy…

I will of course give him adequate compensation, but he should understand that the person now in charge should be me.

I know that Hu Lang and Ambassador Steven are good friends, and they have the support of the Energy Group, but Newt Gingrich has promised to help me integrate the House of Representatives.

I need him, I need those people to work for me.

I will give them enough benefits; they will be satisfied…”

Ika looked at her father, who seemed to have everything figured out, and shook her head helplessly, “Dad, you’d better think it over…”

Just as Ika was about to continue her persuasion, the door to the room was pushed open…

Jared, Ika’s husband, walked in with a strange expression and said, “Dad, Ambassador Steven and Hu Lang have arrived, but they went straight to the venue.

They said they will meet formally after the rally is over…”

This unconventional approach furrowed Big Mouth Tang’s brows; he went to the floor-to-ceiling windows, drew back the curtains, and immediately saw the flashlights go off below on the street.

Looking at the crowd gathered about 500 meters away at the venue, Big Mouth Tang regained his confidence and said with a smile, “Then let’s go now, my fans must be eager to meet me.”

Having said that, Big Mouth Tang turned and left the room, and several Secret Service agents in grey suits immediately followed…

Seeing his father-in-law mobilize, Jared quickly picked up the phone, dialed the host at the venue, then turned to Ika and asked, “What were you discussing with Dad just now?”

Ika glanced at Jared, her face cold. “We were talking about your illegitimate child, about your college mistress, about how you acquired the land through Ludi, about your promises to Ludi…”

Jared, upon hearing this, said helplessly, “Ika, you can’t listen to Monica’s nonsense. I do have an illegitimate child, but that was a long time ago.

I don’t have any mistresses…”

Ika shook her head indifferently, “You don’t have any now…”

Continuing, Ika stared into Jared’s eyes and said earnestly, “Jared, I can tolerate your wrongdoings, but I cannot accept you misuse my father’s influence to make rash promises before he has succeeded…”

Upon hearing this, Jared frowned and said, “Ika, what’s gotten into you?

Everything I’ve done is for our family; my business’s heart is in New York…”

Upon hearing this, Ika shook her head in disappointment and said, “Jared, you’re the one who leaked the identity information of Eric’s girlfriend to the media…

Doing this only creates obstacles for my father and proves nothing.”
