Chapter 3538 Opening Ceremony(1/2)
Charles Meng.
This name is deeply imprinted in both Randall's and Steven's minds.
This person may be the key to solving all problems.
But how can we treat him?
Negotiate with him and let him assist you?
There seems to be no such possibility.
For a character like this, they don't even have a chance to meet him.
By "Glorious America"?
That is also a fantasy.
No matter how you look at it, Steven is just a small character.
A small character that no one would care about even if he disappeared from this world.
"First of all, we need to meet Colonel Charles, observe his attitude, and see how much he knows about the whole thing. Then, maybe we can have a chance."
Steven frowned.
He knew there was little hope, but he would not miss any opportunity.
The people he hated most in his life were the Japanese and MacArthur.
Do you want to bring down MacArthur?
With his current strength, it's just nonsense.
However, hope appeared in despair.
Especially when Randall said that as long as there was conclusive evidence, "Glorious America" even had the ability to remove MacArthur from power.
How could he let such an opportunity slip away from him?
Randall is looking at Steven.
Based on his understanding of this friend, he judged that Steven might already have some ideas in his mind.
Sure enough, after hesitating for a while, Steven said: "Maybe, I have a way."
He slowly expressed his thoughts.
Randall's face slowly changed as he listened: "Steven, this method may be feasible, but it is full of too much uncertainty and danger. Are you really sure?"
"I don't have much certainty." Steven said frankly: "But this is one of the few opportunities we have. What else can we do? I have to try. If I can succeed,
Randall, you know what you should do."
"Yes I know."
Seeing his companion's resolute attitude, Randall said nothing more: "I promise, as long as your actions go smoothly, I will do my best to assist you. You must pay attention to your own safety."
He and Steven are friends, and although they haven't seen each other for many years, Randall believes in their friendship.
Besides, they all have their own purposes.
Randall wants to kill the "Tissue Paper Project" and let the whole world know about this dirty plan.
He believed that his goal was lofty and great.
As for Steven?
He only wants to avenge his wife.
If both parties have their own goals and the other party has something they can take advantage of, then cooperation becomes much easier.
Randall has almost everything figured out.
He just didn't think of one thing.
He has been abandoned by the organization.
This is the tragedy of people like Randall.
When he is working hard to contribute to the organization, the organization can throw him away like a sack for its own benefit.
Who is he?
What do these people mean?
They are just a bunch of sad little people.
"Then, please take care of yourself."
Steven stood up: "I will take action soon. In order to prevent our relationship from being discovered, we will not contact you for the time being. I will come to you when I need you."
…
A new store has opened in Manila.
Although the gunfire never stopped on the front line, Manila was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In fact, it already has some of the atmosphere of the most glorious period in the past.
This time, a large store opened.
It was a large hotel owned by the Bartlett family, a medium-sized family in the Philippines.
The so-called grand hotels are actually simple repairs of buildings that were not particularly seriously damaged during the war, and then quickly put into operation.
In a building like this, the trauma of war can be seen at a glance.
For example, in this hotel, you can even see that nearly one-third of the building is in dilapidated condition.
The area available for business is really limited.
To be honest, this is not really a hotel at all.
But such strange-looking hotels or restaurants are everywhere in Manila.
Because, first of all, there is indeed a market demand for this.
For example, more and more people are coming to Manila in search of business opportunities, and the food and accommodation in Manila, which was severely damaged during the war, obviously cannot keep up.
Even in the most dilapidated hotels, there are people who do it, and in even the most unpalatable restaurants, there are still people who come to enjoy it.
Everyone wants to get their hands on the first pot of gold in Manila during its recovery.
There is another reason, which is quite special, and probably only happens in countries like the Philippines.
There are many large and small families in the Philippines, and their number is dazzling.
And owning an industry in Manila represents the strength of this family.
Therefore, even if they bite the bullet, even if it is not necessary, those families that had industries in Manila before will try their best to start their industries again in Manila.
Maybe there is no need for these industries to exist, but what does it matter?
This is the face of these families.
The same goes for the Bartlett family.
In order to show the importance they attach to Manila, the Bartlett family also sent their powerful second-in-command James Bartlett to Manila.
On the opening day, there is another way to show the strength of the family, and that is to invite as many powerful people in Manila as possible.
For example, Manila's Assistant Mayor Melchor and Deputy Police Chief Varnado were all present.
This cost the Bartlett family a lot of money.
However, Yeem didn't care.
There was another thing that made him even more excited.
After the deputy chief of the Manila Police Department, Varnado, accepted a large bribe from Yeem, he somehow managed to invite Colonel Charles, Manila's top military security officer, to the scene.
This is a great honor.
Colonel Charles is basically the King of Manila.,
All rights are in his hands.
Before, I don’t know how many families wanted to invite the colonel, but he rejected them all.
A second-rate family could actually invite him.
Yeam even doubted whether this was true.
He was very grateful to Varnado.
Although, it cost him a huge sum of money.
Varnado just smiled and responded to the compliment.
Those stupid families.
Previously, Colonel Charles was invited but rejected by him, not because the colonel didn't care about money, but because the bargaining chips these idiot families could offer were too few.
The colonel didn't bother to pay any attention to him.
To be continued...
