Chapter 645 - 626:
"If we had the support of the United States, to exert some force in combating the Church Court, that would be ideal. After all, the armed strength of the Luo Sijue family alone is not enough. Therefore, Ye Chen needs an ally. In such a short time, Ye Chen is unable to find one. As long as the Church Court does not infringe on anyone’s interests, no country will step forward to counter the Church Court. If we were to look, it would have to be in Europe, where the geographical distance is far too great, and moreover, it is the heartland of the Church Court, where it is impossible to shake their interests.
The United States holds its status in the world, and although it has always been labeled as imperialistic, its hegemonic position could not be shaken for a while. Therefore, to Ye Chen, American imperialism is a useful tool. If he could cooperate with the United States, perhaps he could confront the Chaikefu family and the Doomsday Family.
"What do you think?" Obama smiled as he looked at Ye Chen, leaning against a bookstand nearby, and then chuckled, "The Church Court has two major claws, the Chaikefu family and the Doomsday Family, and currently, only the Luo Sijue family can confront them. So, I want to ask you to come forward and oppose them!"
"Dealing with these two Hidden Families is no problem, but what about the Church Court?" Ye Chen laughed coldly. He would not fall for Obama’s trap; once he stirred up trouble, the situation would likely become unmanageable. Once war broke out, many issues would follow, and Americans loved to profit from such situations—the Second World War was a prime example. Ye Chen had already thoroughly analyzed the American mindset, so he would not fall into their trap.
Seeing that Ye Chen did not immediately agree, Obama decided to throw him a sweetener first, chuckling, "I can support you with one billion US Dollars, along with a variety of advanced weapons, enough to equip a thousand people. What do you think?"
"Money, my Luo Sijue family has plenty of it. Weapons, not only Americans have them, Russian gear might even be more advanced," Ye Chen replied with a smirk. "Leisure City Island is covertly guarded by dozens of advanced submarines purchased from Russia, I believe, with these submarines on underwater defense, they are enough to secure the safety of Leisure City. So, you might want to offer me something else!"
Ye Chen was not easily satisfied, especially when negotiating with the President of the United States; his demands grew even larger. Moreover, this time it was Obama who took the initiative to reach out to Ye Chen, who rushed over almost immediately upon receiving the call, pondering all the way on how to negotiate with Obama and what else to ask for.
Obama was stunned by Ye Chen’s response, suddenly finding himself at a loss. He slightly regretted inviting Ye Chen to the United States, yet the issues the United States faced now couldn’t be resolved without Ye Chen.
"So, what do you want?" Obama simply threw the question to Ye Chen. Ye Chen was a smart man, he knew what he needed. Rather than painstakingly pondering what to give, it was better to let the other party state their demands. If the demand was excessive, beyond his budget, he could refuse; if it was within his budget, there could still be room for negotiation.
"Open up California for us, Heavenly Reversal Gang needs a settlement in San Francisco," Ye Chen quickly seized the opportunity to state his demands. If Heavenly Reversal Gang could take root and rise swiftly in the United States, that would certainly be tremendous good news.
