Chapter 771: When a Matter Hooks Up with Politics, It Becomes Bizarre

Every wealthy family is keen on large manors, which allows all family members to live together as much as possible, rather than because of poverty, requiring them to learn to be "independent" and then move out.

Letting children go to high school or graduate from high school and leave the family is just the helplessness of poor families toward life, because it is very difficult for them to support the expenses of an extra adult.

The society of the Federation, in order to avoid these awkward problems, packaged the fact that parents cannot afford to raise children as letting children gain freedom in advance.

However, many people just buy this, especially those foreigners who are deceived by the Federation's propaganda.

Fran stood by the window watching Ted walk quickly toward the parking lot in the courtyard with his two subordinates; his gaze was tightly locked on Ted's background.

Until he watched him get into the car and drive away, did he take his gaze back.

He turned around and looked at the gentlemen in the room, walked slowly to his chair, and pulled it open, "So, should we say something?"

He said, sitting down; the excellent workmanship of the leather chair would give the action of sitting down a process of "releasing air," and the seat cushion would sink slowly, stopping when it sank just right.

He put his hands together on the table in front of him and looked at his good brother Bob.

In fact, the cause of this matter was Bob; of course, he wouldn't admit that he also needed to bear joint responsibility for letting Bob go at this time.

Bob scratched his head, "Should we fight back?"

Fran nodded without any expression change, "Good idea, how to fight back?"

Bob was a bit "stuck" again; he hummed for a long time, looking at this one, looking at that one, "We can drive the Lanse family's business out of other places!"

"They still have many cinemas in Jincheng, and some in other states; we can completely destroy these cinemas and make him pay a huge price for his arrogance."

He seemed to have forgotten that the one who was truly arrogant was him, not Lanse.

However, this is a manifestation of arrogance; arrogant people never think that the one who is wrong is themselves.

Even if the world is wrong, it couldn't be themselves!

Fran still nodded like that, "How much is the construction cost of a cinema, and will it make him feel painful?"

Now the construction cost of a cinema is only tens of thousands of dollars; they burned those cinemas, which doesn't mean the land was also burned.

As long as the land is still there, they can rebuild new cinemas at any time, and the construction cost is not expensive.

The price of a cinema is only the profit of dozens of bottles of wine; no one will feel painful for the profit of dozens of bottles of wine.

Fran raised his finger and pointed to the ceiling, "And!", he added some tone, "They can also do this to us!"

"The Maple Kite Grass farm was their counterattack, burning our Maple Kite Grass worth a million in one fire; if we didn't have other farms and some inventory, it would be very difficult for us to hand over the task this year."

"What he hurt us is much more painful than what we hurt him!"

Another family member said softly, "He is not afraid of going to war with us."

Fran shook his head, "It's that he knows that the price we pay for going to war with us is the same as the price he pays."

The family's lawyer clansman took the conversation, "In fact, what we want to do depends entirely on you, Fran."

"You want him to pay the price, and we will do as you say."

"If you are willing to temporarily put down the hostility with him, then we will stop."

Bob gave this brother a friendly look, and then looked at Fran again.

Fran also had a headache, in fact.

The reaction of the Lanse family and Lanse himself, as well as their degree of toughness, far exceeded his imagination.

In such a short time, retaliating so cruelly, it really gave him a big jump!

Now people outside are starting to watch their jokes again; if they can't handle this matter, the family's reputation will suffer a certain degree of damage.

After all, someone slapped them in the face, but they chose to be "magnanimous," which makes it hard not to feel that they are weak and retreating when facing forces more vicious than them.

If a politician shows weakness, he will become a stepping stone for other politicians.

If a capitalist shows weakness, he will be served on the dining table by other capitalists.

If a gang shows weakness, the hungry wolves around will surround it and hold a campfire party.

He glanced at the lawyer brother who spoke, and gave him a blaming look; here are all direct lines, but there are also distinctions between relatives and distance.

It's better not to say this kind of thing when there are many people.

However, he was also very clear about the purpose of the lawyer brother's words, which was to avoid letting internal contradictions become internal contradictions under the pressure of excessive external pressure.

Unify thoughts, unify the front, either fight or stop, must choose one.

The honorary old man who had been silent spoke again, "I can understand Fran's concerns."

"We don't have any powerful allies in the south; it's already a blessing that the bitches of Griffin don't add trouble to us."

"Our strength is clearly far superior to the Lanse family, but if we go to war with them, we will lose the advantage of the home court; even if our strength is stronger, we will fall into a passive position."

"Fight, we don't have any advantages."

"Don't fight, people outside will laugh at us again; our authority will be hit, and our business will also be affected, so this is indeed a very difficult choice."

A young man sitting in the corner asked, "Is it possible that we mobilize all the power in our hands and can't solve the Lanse family?"

The old man shook his head, and in the young man's slightly surprised expression, said another set of words, "Of course not."

"We might solve the Lanse family; how could he be our opponent?"

"But now we have no way to mobilize our manpower to do this; the Congress side should have already called.", he looked at Fran.

Fran nodded and admitted, "After we burned the cinema, they gave me a call, warning me not to do that too much."

Although more than a dozen innocent people died, essentially for the masters, it was just a "mischief."

However, even if it was mischief, they also reminded Fran in time that the first time could be treated as a joke, and the second time would be knowingly committing a crime.

This is also the reason why he is having some difficulty choosing now.

The old man continued, "If it were at ordinary times, we wouldn't be so difficult to choose; we would just send people over to crush them."

The young man probably understood what he wanted to express and shook his head, not continuing to speak.

Another person raised his hand, "I have an idea."

Fran took out a cigarette; his son Robin walked over and took the lighter to light it for him, "You say."

"We can fight them again; isn't Ted going to Denuozhou to bring Miluo back?"

"According to my understanding of Ted, he definitely won't just bring Miluo back; he will definitely go find Lanse's trouble."

"He wants to fight Lanse, so we support him to go fight Lanse; it's best if the momentum can be made bigger, and then we will find someone to mediate."

"This can not only convey our attitude of not shrinking to the outside world, but also temporarily terminate this struggle in a decent and appropriate way."

"After the war ends, we will crush them again."

The words of this gentleman made the gentlemen in the room fall into thinking; Fran frowned and thought; it must be said that this is indeed a good way.

This is like a lion provoked by a hyena, which has already started to tear; it shows its majesty and strength, but the zoo administrator terminated its hunting plan.

The outside world will definitely not have a "coward" view of it; they will only feel that it can take care of the overall situation, and under the pressure of the Congress, a gang family, even if it is a black-political-capital complex, can only bow its head temporarily.

Even the President has to bow his head, let alone Fran Perez?

Avoided all the troubles now, and didn't show weakness; a very good idea.

However, he didn't express his position immediately, but looked at the other brothers.

Bob was the first to support, "I think there is no problem; we got decency and didn't suffer any loss, and others have nothing to say."

The old guy who hung glory on his mouth also stomped his cane, "Can, it's a good idea."

Soon everyone seemed to have formed a unity on this matter, and Fran also nodded slowly; this matter was decided like this.

But the next things will not become much simpler.

Since there is still a fight to be fought, how to fight, to what extent, this also needs to be discussed.

However, the speed at which everyone reached a unity on this issue was much faster, that is, to fight out the prestige of the Perez family; even if they all knew that it would eventually be mediated, at least before the mediation, they must let people see their strength!

After discussing the specific details for a while, Fran let them all leave, leaving only him alone.

He went through the whole thing in his mind again, and then made a call, a call to a Senator.

The phone was answered quickly, "This is... the manor."

"I am Fran; I want to talk to Mr. Senator."

"Please wait a moment; I will go and tell Mr. Senator."

"He is entertaining now; he might not answer."

After about seven or eight minutes, there were footsteps entering the receiver, "The Senator took five minutes to talk to you; don't hang up, keep the state of lifting, he will answer your call in the study."

Soon he heard the sound of the phone being hung up from the receiver, but no busy tone appeared.

After waiting for about twenty or thirty seconds, the phone was answered again.

"What's the matter?", the other end of the phone came the sound of a lighter lighting and smoking; it seems that the Senator is using the time of "smoking a cigarette" to chat with him.

The guests he is entertaining must not be ordinary people.

Fran didn't dare to delay for too long and quickly explained what happened.

"... roughly the situation is like this."

"He and I have already been set up; it is impossible for either of us to bow our heads first, and I think it is very likely that they will not take the initiative to make peace with us."

"So in order to avoid the continuous expansion of the situation, we need a middleman."

The Senate had already understood, "So to put it bluntly, you don't want to lose face, and you don't want to really do it?"

Fran was a bit ashamed and angry, "If I really want to do it, will you allow me to do it?"

"The Perez family has tens of thousands of members; I am willing to do it; do you dare to let me do it?"

The very sharp counter-question made the Senator have no reaction for a while; indeed, the most important thing now is to maintain the stability of the domestic society.

If the Perez family really wants to go to war comprehensively, the Congress will press them down at the first time, and the military will also be dispatched.

Both sides have cooperation or interest relationships in many fields; the Senator would not want to see this scene; the reason he used such a way of ridicule was not entirely malicious.

He just stood at the pinnacle of life and teased a small character he recognized as powerful.

It was just that Fran's reaction was very strong, and he had to think seriously about this matter.

After another two minutes, he agreed, "Can, I think your plan is feasible; call me when you need me..."

The Senator agreed, then he hung up the phone, leaned back in his chair and smoked a few puffs, and then crushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray.

There was not much happy expression on his face, just appearing very calm.

He returned to the side hall, and several colleagues saw him come back and greeted him warmly.

He sat in his seat and asked with a smile, "Where did you say?"

"We said to the newly appointed Federal Bureau of Investigation Director, the one appointed by the President; do you know him?"

The Senator nodded repeatedly; he picked up a piece of fruit on the table and stuffed it into his mouth to neutralize the slight bitterness after smoking, "I know, it is said that he is a very capable person."

The Senator who talked to him nodded, "He has already submitted a bill to the Congress through the Presidential Palace regarding the expansion of the scope of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's authority; it should be sent to your hands soon."

"This bill mentioned that because of the serious corruption problems of the police forces in various parts of the Federation, they have been bought by local capitalists and gangs; they can no longer become defenders of the law and have mixed with those evil forces."

"He intends to promote the expansion of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's authority, used for law enforcement power higher than the local level; public security cases, criminal cases, various types of cases, and even espionage cases, political cases, he all wants to intervene."

The Senator's slightly surprised expression chewed fruit while exclaiming, "His ambition is so big!"

"But if he does this, he will offend the police of the entire Federation; this is equivalent to snatching power from their hands."

The Senator who said this news had an indifferent expression, "Who let the problem of police corruption be so serious now?"

"He chose a good time point, a good entry point; I heard that this bill will pass."

"And you know, this is actually not bad for us."

The police system is also an independent system, and the power belongs to governments at all levels, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation belongs to the Presidential Palace; of course, the Congress can also intervene.

In other words, this is equivalent to the highest ruling group of the Federation inserting their hands into the pockets of the relatively independent ruling group at the lower level; those who truly oppose will be the city-level government, those lowest-level law enforcers, and rulers.

This is indeed a very special news, but they didn't discuss it deeply on this issue; anyway, it's good for them, which means that the Congress will not make things difficult for that new Director who just took office on this bill!

As for the people below?

As long as they still want federal financial allocation, they have to accept this result.

Later in the evening, Robin (Fran's son) took the initiative to find Ted who was gathering people; after all, they were all family, and he knew where to find this guy.

For Robin's sudden arrival, Ted was a bit surprised, and for a while didn't know what to say.

His office was full of people inside and out; looking at these people, it was like they were preparing to do something big; he simply couldn't hide it.

Just when he intended to respond with silence, Robin asked everyone in his office to go out.

Others didn't do as he said.

Although they were also members of the Perez family, the one who paid them was Ted, not Robin, or anyone else.

Ted nodded slightly, and these people went out through the door behind Robin one after another.

The eyes they looked at him with when they passed Robin were full of questioning, even rebellious and provocative gazes!

Robin smiled and walked to the opposite side of Ted's table and sat down, very naturally and very easily, "Preparing to take revenge for Miluo?"

Ted didn't speak; Robin continued to say with a smile, "Come on, brother, you can't lie to me!"

Although Ted's age was much older than Robin, and only slightly younger than Fran, in terms of seniority, they were of the same generation.

Ted didn't know what Robin came here to do; was it Fran's meaning, or someone else's meaning; before he figured it out, he could only maintain silence.

Robin smiled twice again, "You are very cautious, guarding against me; this is a good thing."

"In fact, I came over to tell you that Fran is not stopping you from taking revenge, just the family situation now, and the external pressure, you know."

"As the actual helmsman of the family, he has too many things to consider!"

"Some things he can tacitly allow you to do, but he can't say it out."

"He can't say in front of everyone 'let's go take revenge, don't care about anything else,' right?"

"You think he doesn't know what you are going to do in Denuozhou?"

"He knows, so he let me come over to talk to you about this!"

Hearing Robin say this, the coldness on Ted's face had a trace of warmth, and his expression became much more natural, "What are you here for?", he asked.

Robin still had that smiling appearance, "Look, it's not that difficult!"

"Fran was afraid that you would go too hastily and suffer losses, so he let me adjust another batch of people for you."

"About two hundred or so, all good hands in the family."

"Weapons, and a special train, you can choose to go to Denuozhou first, or appear directly in Likaer State; this is all decided by yourself."

"He also let me tell you one sentence—"

"Don't let people look down on the Perez family!"
