Chapter 1144 - There is No Permanent Alliance (1/2)

After Loki said this, Jiang Chen finally understood why he chose to meet him at this place.Indeed, it was absolutely safe here.

Due to the distance, the communication channel between the Moon and Earth was completely under Celestial Trade’s control. He didn’t need to worry about the CIB’s presence. Although Jiang Chen felt that he was being overly cautious, Loki still insisted that it was necessary.

After the banquet, Xia s.h.i.+yu went back to the hotel and Jiang Chen went to the lounge next to the banquet hall with Loki.

After they sat down, Loki took out the cigar box from his suit pocket, pulled out a cigar and put it in his mouth. He was just about to take out his lighter when he suddenly stopped and looked to Jiang Chen, “Do you mind?”

Jiang Chen shook his head.

“Thank you.” Grinning, Loki grabbed the cigar cutter and skillfully cut the cigar head. After he lit the cigar on fire, he blew out a ring, fully satisfied. He raised his eyebrow and offered, “Do you want one?”

“I’ll pa.s.s.” Jiang Chen shook his head, leaned backed on the chair, and then looked at the old man enjoying himself. “Let’s get to the point—”

“Kerry is preparing to partic.i.p.ate in the 2020 election,” Loki said nonchalantly as he also leaned back into his chair.

Jiang Chen took three seconds to digest his sentence and then raised his eyebrow.

“So?”

“It seems that you aren’t informed of the intelligence from the Capitol.” Loki grinned and shrugged. Through the smoke clouds, his eyes were filled with mysteriousness, “Do you know who is supporting Kerry?”

“Who else other than Wall Street?” Jiang Chen laughed. “This question is just as boring as asking why Zhang Yaping can be re-elected year after year.”

“No, no, no,” Loki swayed the cigar between his fingers. “There are a lot of companies on Wall Street. You can’t consider Wall Street as a whole. My question is, who do you think is the main supporter behind Kerry?”

You can’t consider Wall Street as a whole.

Jiang Chen’s eyes flickered as he carefully pondered the meaning behind this sentence.

Loki looked at the silent Jiang Chen and didn’t seem to be in a hurry. He continued to enjoy his cigar, waiting for Jiang Chen’s answer with the same mysterious grin on his face.

The silence lasted another five minutes before Jiang Chen spoke up.

“Obviously, you can tell me.”

“Yes, I can tell you.” Loki straightened his back, extended his finger and wrote on the table. After Jiang Chen looked over, it was an uppercase “M”.

Jiang Chen frowned as he looked at the movement of his hand,

“…Morgan?”

Jiang Chen was not surprised by Wall Street’s manipulation of the election since it didn’t just happen once or twice. The existence of K Street and political contributions exist exactly because of this. As for why Kerry decided to run for the election, Morgan’s decision to invest, while he was somewhat surprised, it was nothing astonis.h.i.+ng.

What surprised him was that Loki told him all these things.

“Yes. I can tell you, Kerry has already got the CIB on board,” Loki leaned back against the chair again, crossed his fingers over his knees, and then continued. “The FBA is investigating members of Congress, and the CIB is closely watching the FBA. It’s interesting, isn’t it? I bet that the 2020 election will be the most exciting one in history.”
