Chapter 555: Time and Counterattack
Chapter 555 Time and Dialogue
"That wedding was so perfect, wasn't it?"
In cell 001 of ADX Florence Prison, Carl was looking at Cedric in front of him through a thick bulletproof glass, speaking in a nostalgic tone.
"That was one of the most perfect commitments I've ever made in my life, and I completed it so well and the result was so beautiful."
“Thinking about it now, it’s still exciting.”
Hearing these words, Cedric, who was outside the glass, looked at the other party hesitantly, his brows furrowed with regret and a hint of indescribable confusion.
But Carl, who was inside the glass, was still busy reminiscing and narrating, completely ignoring the environment he was in.
In the slightly luxurious cell behind him, the LCD TV hanging on the wall was playing Fox News in a loop.
The host on the TV station broadcast to the audience across the United States in an excited tone.
"With the conclusion of the US election, another major case involving the entire US has officially entered its critical stage."
“He is known as the Rockefeller of the new era, a scientific giant who has led mankind forward for 20 years, and the chairman and CEO of MAT Group.”
"Mr. Karl Hohenzollern has been formally charged in federal court with 56 felony counts, 90% of which are monopoly violations in the business sector."
"Others are character charges that, if enforced, carry a maximum sentence of 576 years in prison."
"But some supporters still believe that this is just a purge of capitalists who supported the opposing party after the new president took office."
"This action will increase the division in American society and completely shake the foundation of American unity, but at the same time some experts believe that."
"It was this Mr. Hohenzollern who, through powerful financial means, caused the outflow of American manufacturing over the past 20 years."
"And long-term investment in the Eastern powers has led to the passive situation the United States is in in international competition now."
"So some extreme conservatives think that the other side should be convicted of treason and hanged on the gallows."
"Now, this Mr. Hohenzollern has not been released on bail after paying a sky-high bail, as is common with other wealthy people."
"According to the latest information, the other party is now in ADX Florence Prison because the impact of this incident is too great."
"The White House has already dispatched the Secret Service to strengthen the prison's security in all aspects. As for the follow-up development of the matter."
"This station will also continue to pay attention to November 2024, 11."
After watching the entire news report, Cedric, who was already exhausted, took a deep breath and looked at Carl behind the glass with helplessness on his face.
After a long silence, he slowly spoke.
"Why, why on earth did this develop to this point?"
Hearing this, Carl stopped his recollection, showed his signature smirk, and looked at his unique friend with a playful expression.
"What exactly do you want to ask? Is it about me personally, about this country, or about our species that is about to disappear?"
"Are they also very opposed to me, thinking that I am a dictator who uses violence to exclude dissidents, and that I am unwilling to listen to the voices of the people?"
“I think I no longer have the ability to lead them into the next era.”
“Foolish people always ask why. They are unwilling to think and are only willing to go to others to find an answer that satisfies them.”
"Then pretend to be very smart."
As he spoke, Karl slowly stood up, with a smile on his face, and paced back and forth in his luxurious prison cell.
He spoke in a loud voice as he walked.
"There's no need to ask so many questions. Everything is just destined. It depends on those damn real estate companies to get subsidies from the government."
"When the financial market was being hyped up crazily, the banks were using the future thinking of the Internet that we proposed."
"When the country's elite class keeps packaging and creating huge financial bubbles one after another."
"In order to turn a useless weapon into the most sought-after commodity in the world, they would not hesitate to dismantle their own country's cutting-edge weapons production line and ensure that it cannot be restored."
"When the best skilled workers on this planet completely lose their jobs due to the financial industry, we so-called wizards who possess magic and are superior to others will be put to shame."
“When they invested all the wealth I brought to them into the speculative market, they had already secretly set the price of everything.”
"I thought I might be able to change the future a little bit, but the world is really hopeless."
After saying that, Karl lay lazily on the sofa beside him, as if the hysteria just now had nothing to do with him.
Just start eating potato chips while changing channels with the remote control.
Cedric, who was outside the glass, stood up helplessly when he saw this scene. After thinking for a while, he continued to speak.
"But you don't have to do this. Haven't they already made the conditions? That condition is not unacceptable."
"Money is just a number to us, and I know very well that although you have always been very greedy for money, you have never really cared about those things."
"Otherwise you wouldn't have always allowed me to do those things."
“That’s not what I condoned.” Karl’s voice came again, but his body still didn’t move. He still lay lazily on the sofa, facing Cedric with the back of his head.
"You are still so stupid and naive. You still think that I am really omnipotent. All my achievements now are just the result of following the trend."
"Those guys already know about your operations, and they also need someone to continuously provide blood transfusions to their opposition."
"If a fire burns all the residents, it will certainly be a terrible disaster, but if the fire can be controlled within a certain range."
"And being able to set fires wherever they want, it doesn't make economic sense to put out fires completely."
"In the final analysis, the underlying logic of this world is still power. Sometimes people should not take themselves too seriously. Your success is ultimately just because of the times and some people who want you to succeed."
Cedric was completely stunned. He stared blankly at the back of Carl's head. After being silent for a full minute, he suddenly shouted out of control.
"Then why did you leave all the rest to me, those companies, those wealth, and those shameful deeds?"
"Why do you want to give all this to me? I don't want it. I just want..."
Cedric didn't say anything else because he felt an unusual warmth on his cheek and looked up in surprise.
I only saw that pair of beautiful blue eyes, staring straight at me, while my face, haha, was firmly held by a pair of evil big hands.
Cedric wanted to struggle, but found that he could not open his mouth. Someone sealed his mouth in an extremely rogue way.
After playing tricks, Carl looked at the red pumpkin in front of him and said in a very low voice.
"Do you really think that this prison can hold me? The golden wind will only stay for a short while under that wooden tree."
"No one can control it. As for your question just now, the answer is very simple, you annoying friend."
"I am a born rebel. This time I want a pure and kind person to have the last laugh."
