King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer-Chapter 748 - 687: The Bizarre Candidate_2
With a clink of his wine glass against Princess Amina’s, Gami said with a smile, "Everyone has their own unique talent, and you shine brighter in your field than anyone else."
As he spoke, Gami nudged Eric with his elbow and asked, "So who’ve you set your sights on?
The Bush boys are still waiting for your word, they don’t mind stirring trouble for the Democrats, as long as our chosen one starts pushing, they’ll follow suit in Texas and Florida."
Embarrassed, Eric rubbed his nose before pointing toward the entrance.
A fashionably late blond catfish type walked in, an older blonde with a facelift on his left and a young blonde girl on his right, striding boldly into the Republican Party gathering.
Gami was startled for a moment, then said incredulously, "Don’t tell me we are backing that guy, the video of him being humiliated by that black President at the White House dinner is still being played over and over.
That guy is nothing but a big-talking businessman, he’s no match for those seasoned politicians..."
With a sense of resignation, Eric replied, "Then who else could I pick?
I had someone conduct a thorough poll, and in the Republican field, only this guy has a chance to go head-to-head with Rashirii."
Spreading his hands, Eric continued, "Although he’s a talker, you have to admit he’s a successful businessman.
He’s used the election campaign as a slogan to secure a secretive funding round for his company, and now among the Republican candidates, only his campaign funds are the most abundant.
I had a brief chat with his campaign manager, he’s willing to pay any price for support right now.
If this guy wins, it would be greatly beneficial for our boss’s business because he lacks allies, so he can’t do without our support in the short term!"
Upon hearing this, Gami sighed while holding his forehead and said, "Thank goodness I’m not an American, America has truly fallen...
I feel like this guy would bring a hottub into the White House office and place massage chairs with charges in the tour area, while also pricing all the snacks and coffee."
Eric replied helplessly, "But he’s the best choice we have, at least he’s loaded with funds and willing to gamble big!"
As he spoke, Eric watched as the blond Donald Depp, receiving a cold shoulder from the others, began looking around for valuable targets...
When his gaze caught Princess Amina and began to sparkle, Eric, while maintaining a smile, whispered, "Humor him for a bit; I’ll talk to him privately about the rest."
Gami watched as Donald Depp left his wife behind and pulled along Amy Depp, laughing heartily while opening his arms wide toward Princess Amina...
Gami could feel Princess Amina’s intense desire to flee, for the guy’s look was too aggressive!
So Big Sister Gami stepped in front of Princess Amina and gestured ’stop’ to Donald, saying, "Mr. Depp, Amina is a MSL princess..."
At that moment in Los Angeles, having mixed with Gami, Amy wished she could just disappear.
Like holding onto a bulldog, she pulled firmly on her dad’s arm while awkwardly saying to Gami, "Miss Kopke..."
Before Amy could finish, Donald took Gami’s hand and said, "Pleasure to meet you, Miss Kopke, I’ve heard many rumors about you on Wall Street.
I would love the opportunity to work with you; I am a New Yorker after all, no one understands Wall Street better than I do."
Gami paused for a moment, then nodded demurely, saying, "I believe that, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate."
Facing the reserved Gami, Donald acted with grace, nodding slightly in greeting, then turned his attention back to Princess Amina, saying, "Your Highness, I witnessed your grand escape in Los Angeles, I once donated $500,000 to your foundation, to help those poor women.
Oh, I heard you’ve settled in Central Africa; I’m good friends with Hu Lang, and I’ve been considering when to go there for a visit!"
About to drink her juice to ease the awkwardness, Princess Amina choked and coughed violently...
She looked at Donald in disbelief and said, "You know Hu Lang..."
Donald replied as if it were obvious, "Of course, I’ve talked with him at a Los Angeles party. My daughter Amy is a good friend of Hu Lang and admires him greatly.
Amy also took part in covering your escape, a fact that the Bush boy can attest to."
Waving his hand dismissively, Donald added, "No need to talk about that...
I heard you’re advocating for a safe zone on Syria’s border, I can arrange an interview on TV tomorrow. I believe getting more people to understand your vision will help you realize your dream..."
Gami, looking at the mortified Amy who’d raised her glass to cover her mouth, whispered to Eric beside her, "I now think this guy could win; if nothing else, his sheer brazenness beats everyone else!"
Eric, resisting the urge to dig his toes into the ground, whispered back, "This guy actually has something going for him, his conservative tactics and platform have many followers, he just hasn’t managed to politicize and systematize them yet.
