Of all the people, perhaps only Victor cares about Zoe's life or death.
That girl was insignificant in this major case that shocked the world. It didn't matter whether she was sentenced to death or acquitted. Victor was wondering why the President wanted to escort her to the White Crown.
When he walked out of the court gate and stood on the street looking at the six unique towers, a suspicion suddenly emerged in his mind.
"Could it be that...your Excellency the President did this on purpose? To lure me to see him?"
The only possibility is that President George may know Zoe's life experience and also know that Victor is secretly manipulating the court to protect her.
The reason why he was cut off halfway was to let Victor go see him?
But if the president wants to see him, does he need to go to such trouble?
After thinking about it for a while, Victor seemed to understand the president's intention, so he immediately went to prepare.
…
In the platinum tower of the Presidential Palace, George Floyd was draping his legs on the table, lazily leaning on a recliner, staring at the ceiling above his head, and eating cookies dipped in chocolate sauce.
This was his alone time, protected only by two guards standing on the terrace behind him.
However, before he noticed anything, the two guards suddenly dozed off and fell asleep in less than half a minute.
As their snoring began, George noticed something unusual, but when he turned around, what he saw was the balcony door being pushed open out of thin air, and a red-haired young man appearing from nothingness.
When George saw the visitor, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he smiled meaningfully, as if everything was understood.
"I guess you are Victor Damon?"
As expected, the other party knew who he was. Victor frowned, and then sat down directly on the chair in front of George without ceremony.
"Hey! You are so rude. After all, I am the president of this country. You broke into my office without permission and sat around casually. Is this appropriate?"
Victor took off his round felt hat and continued to reach out unceremoniously to pick up the cookies on the table.
He bit off a chip in front of the president and said while chewing: "Didn't you ask me to come? Mr. President."
"Huh?" George looked confused, "I don't remember summoning you, and I won't let you climb over the wall from the outside. You are as elusive as a thief."
Victor put down half of the biscuit and stopped going around the corner: "You controlled Zoe, wasn't it just to let me come to see you alone?"
After he finished speaking, George's pretentious expression finally calmed down, and he couldn't help but give Victor a round of applause.
"So you understood my intention so quickly. You are smart and very good..."
"Then let's stop talking nonsense, Your Excellency." Victor was in a hurry and went straight to the point, "What do you need me to do to hand over that girl to me?"
The president picked up half a cup of chocolate sauce and took a sip directly: "You are asking questions knowingly, Mr. Assistant of the Department of Defense and Suppression."
Victor's eyes narrowed: "I don't understand, can you stop the Riddler?"
After hearing this, the president smiled slightly, pulled out a blank piece of paper from somewhere behind him, and then told Victor: "You still have something in your hand that originally belonged to the white crown, but it has not been handed over."
Originally belonged to the White Crown?
Victor frowned, thought about it carefully, and immediately realized that the other party was referring to either the original copy of the "Declaration of Liberty" or the sixth chapter of Shivers's Lectures on that page.
"How did he know that the thing was on me?" Victor was extremely confused.
After the assassination of the president, Victor reported to William everything that happened in the Crystal Tower, but he concealed many details and only retained the description of his "fight" with Downey, who eventually killed him in the Crystal Tower.
In front of the black gate.
As for what the white crown hid in the black door, Victor didn't mention a word.
But now, George Floyd actually knows what Victor hid secretly.
Oh wait!
George said "there is one more thing that has not been handed over", but Victor actually hid two things.
Does this mean that the President actually doesn’t know exactly how many items Victor took away?
After calming down, Victor tested the president and asked: "Is this why you control Zoe? Want me to return the items of the White Crown?"
After hearing this, George smiled and said nothing.
Victor continued: "Then if I return the things, can you give her to me?"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Victor finished speaking, His Excellency the President said: "No, I just want to confirm. In fact, I came to you for other reasons?"
The president put away his playful expression and turned serious.
"What I want to find out is, is Mr. Victor loyal to the United States of Secred?"
Victor frowned, and without thinking for a long time, he lied without conscience: "Do I have any reason to be disloyal to this country?"
President George was silent for two seconds and continued to ask: "So, are you loyal to the United States of Secred, or are you loyal to me?"
These words puzzled Victor.
"Is there any difference?" he asked in a deep voice.
George's serious expression relaxed, and he smiled: "Then, I hope you will be loyal to me from now on."
After hearing this, Victor was slightly shocked. He smelled the smell of conspiracy, and this smell came from the baby-faced president in front of him.
As if he felt that the other party would not be satisfied if the chips were not put up, President George immediately made his 'offer': "If you accept my proposal, then I will hand over the girl to you immediately, and will not
How about asking you to return the original copy of the "Declaration of Liberty" as a greeting gift from me to you?"
Zoe was fine, but the "Declaration of Freedom", which was of great significance to the country, was given to Victor by President George. This was too generous.
Is it possible that President George didn't know that it was made of Pan's skin?
"Of course I know the value of the Declaration of Liberty. For those who want to become knowledgeable, it is priceless. But it doesn't matter. I think it's worth exchanging it for a capable confidant..." George
The president immediately answered Victor's doubts.
However, after hearing these explanations, Victor was still full of doubts about the president's proposal.
He proposed: "With your status, it is very easy to cultivate a group of confidants, and there are many people who already support you. Instead of trying to win over me, why not try to win over Secretary William Marshall?"
George shrugged: "So this is the difference between being loyal to myself and being loyal to Saiguo..."
As he spoke, he tapped his fingers on the table, as if to ask Victor to pay attention to his next words.
"Being able to say what you just said only proves that you don't understand William Marshall and how he became the Minister of Defense and Suppression in the first place..."
"But that is no longer important. William's value to me is far less than that of you, Victor Damon... If you stand firmly on my side, I will leave the position of Minister of Defense and Suppression to you in the future.
