Click… click, click… click, click, click…

The flashbulbs fired incessantly, capturing every movement and subtle expression of Ron DeSantis.

“Ladies and gentlemen, good evening.”

“On my way home just now, I received some devastating news that is hard to accept.”

“Our colleague, who is also a dedicated member of the American Freedom Association, Kate Laurie, has left us forever just half an hour ago.”

“Before I begin my statement, please join me in a minute of silence for her.”

Ron DeSantis didn’t beat around the bush, stating the purpose of tonight’s press conference very straightforwardly.

In fact, most Americans dislike beating around the bush; a direct manner is what earns their favor the most.

Everyone in the audience bowed their heads slightly, closing their eyes and mourning in silence.

Since the press conference was being live-streamed on the internet, a number of onlookers had already flocked to the live broadcast room.

“What the fuck? What am I seeing? A murderer mourning?”

“Heh, you executioner, killer, how dare you stand there with such a pretense?”

“Could it be that the real murderer isn’t him, because with his ranking, there would be no need for him to resort to such despicable acts, right?”

“Heh, what if Kate Laurie had agreed to give all her votes to Haley? Wouldn’t his first place be overtaken?”

“The TV speech just ended, and a competitor is dead on the street; is there any hope left for our country?”

“Shit, just go ahead and destroy yourself!”

The comments on the live chat were varied, with the majority firmly believing Ron DeSantis was the murderer.

Meanwhile,

Ron DeSantis’s online poll support was continuously declining.

After the minute of silence, Ron DeSantis started his speech.

He had to be given credit for his eloquence; even in the face of an unforeseen event, he managed to use provocative language to soothe the internet mob.

And as he spoke, more and more people started to believe that he was not the killer. Instead, they suspected Nikki Haley was the true mastermind behind the car accident, that she had committed the insane act and pinned the blame on him.

“I have with me a criminal report on Nikki Haley!”

Ron DeSantis was holding nothing back and planned to tarnish Nikki Haley’s reputation through this news conference.

“In this report spanning 271 pages, you will truly understand what kind of a venomous woman Nikki Haley is.”

“For a person like her, framing someone for murder is nothing more than a basic tactic.”

As Ron DeSantis spoke fervently, his secretary’s voice suddenly came through his earpiece.

“Boss, we just received news that Nikki Haley has announced her withdrawal from the campaign!”

What?

What the fuck??

That woman… she withdrew?

Ron DeSantis couldn’t fathom why she would withdraw from the campaign when the situation seemed to be in her favor.

But Ron DeSantis understood something else, that he couldn’t put the blame on Nikki Haley any longer.

Otherwise, when the public learns that she has already withdrawn from the campaign, he really wouldn’t be able to clear himself from suspicion in these matters.

With this in mind, Ron DeSantis’s expression subtly changed, and he smoothly shifted the topic, saying, “Of course, I am just speculating the real cause of the car accident based on past events.”

“And I think compared to Nikki Haley, Clinton Hamilton from the Conservative Party is also highly suspect.”

After all, when it comes to slinging mud at opponents, it didn’t matter who; as one falls, target another.

For Ron DeSantis, Clinton Hamilton, whose background was no less significant than his own, was the biggest stumbling block on his path to becoming the Duke.

…

Tonight in America, many were destined to be sleepless.

While the whole of America was shocked by the car crash and Nikki Haley’s withdrawal from the campaign, Lin Mo had already arrived silently at the gate of a hillside villa.

According to information Lin Mo had received earlier, this was the residence of Bryan Dennison, the behind-the-scenes owner of the Lockheed Martin Corporation, who was backing Ron DeSantis.

Indeed,

Lin Mo had no intention of trying to persuade Bryan Dennison, particularly since it wouldn’t be possible.

The most direct and straightforward way was to bypass Bryan Dennison and take down his financial backer directly, which would naturally force him to give up his bid for Duke!
