Chapter 528: Giving A Second Chance
Nixon did as he had promised and Alexander kept his end of the deal. In a few days, the cold war ended and the world was shocked. Even the war in Vietnam was over and the popularity of Nixon soared to the sky.
Alexander did all he could to stop conflicts all over the world and deter any plots of any party from starting a war. All this while, he saw the news on television about some hurricane and only one shrimp boat surviving.
Alexander knew that it was related to Forrest Gump. Forrest was now a national celebrity after the president ordered a detailed background check of Forrest.
It turned out to be a miracle story of a boy who went from zero to hero. A boy who couldn't even run and was cognitively challenged became a college football player, joined the army, became a war hero, became a national champion in ping pong, and represented the country in China. Then he opened a shrimp business and created a national brand. If this was not the embodiment of the American dream then nothing else could be.
Nixon quickly made him the face of the American Dream. That showed that even a boy who had nothing, no money, or even good health could achieve such results.
Hence, everything related to Forrest was now shown on national news.
~Hmm, isn't that kid's mom sick? Well, I guess I will help him. I can't see him being left alone in this world. Especially when he has friends like Jenny who always ignored him and when needed him came running after.~ Alexander muttered to himself and left for Alabama.
He didn't know the address and he had to go to the military base nearby to check the records.
After that, he immediately reached the place.
