I have a debt of 3 trillion, and my creditors are begging me not to die.

Chapter 249 The CIA publicly apologizes to Yang Chen
Tracy escaped with the incriminating information, so Gilbert couldn't die anytime soon. Otherwise, if Tracy went all out and released the incriminating information, it would cause a reputation crisis for various high-ranking figures in the Bald Eagle's political, business, and entertainment circles. Even royal families, politicians, and celebrities from European countries who had visited the island would be exposed.

If this really happens, the true colors of the entire Western elite will be revealed to the world.

The issue of the little girl is not the most serious. If it is exposed that the island uses inhumane and illegal methods to prolong the lives of celebrities, the negative impact will be enormous.

Parker quickly went to report the situation to higher-ups so they could come up with a new solution.

Meanwhile, Tracy had already entered Mosesco and quickly found her husband's friend, Mario.

Tracy kept her promise and immediately asked Mario to expose some of the dirty secrets inside the wooden box.

However, the Mosaic media, having obtained the damaging information, dared not expose it, fearing retaliation from the Bald Eagles.

The driver who escorted Tracy to Mexico said, "Give me the dirt on her, and we'll expose it through TikTok."

Tracy asked, "Are you sure TikTok would dare to expose these scandals?"

The driver smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. Just hand over the items."

Tracy said, "I can't give it to you. This is our talisman. As long as we have it, we're all safe, and my husband is probably safe too. If I give it to you, we'll be of no use to you. Besides, I can only expose part of the dirt. If I expose everything, we'll be worthless."

The driver pointed at Tracy's chest and said, "Mrs. Gilbert, I hope you understand the situation. It's not just the FBI or NSA that kill; we do too. I made it very clear to you on the way here: either you expose yourself, or you hand over to us; otherwise, you'll be in big trouble. Have you forgotten?"

Mario immediately stepped forward and shoved the driver aside, warning him sternly, "Hey! Hey! Hey! Brother, Mr. Gilbert is my benefactor, and his wife and children are my benefactors too. You're threatening my benefactor to my face? Do you think I'm invisible?"

The driver smirked and said, "Aren't you invisible?"

Mario was about to draw his gun when a mosquito crawled into his nostril. The driver immediately warned, "Don't move! If you move again, the mosquito will explode! Have you ever heard of a mosquito that can blow a person's face, or even their head, off?"

Mario was shocked and quickly raised his hands, saying, "Brother, don't joke around, don't joke around. You're one of Mr. Yang Chen's men?"

The driver smiled and replied, "That's not a question you should be asking."

At that moment, Mario's brothers rushed over, each carrying a machine gun and even a rocket launcher.

Moses isn't exaggerating; the gangs here are truly powerful. No wonder they can take over the police force and even assassinate the president.

but.

Mario laughed and said, "Brother, if I get blown up, you won't survive either. We don't need to trade one for one, right?"

The driver didn't say anything, he just stared intently at Mario.

The driver didn't move, and no one else dared to move either.

Three minutes passed quietly before the driver received a notification. He then laughed and said, "Who said I wanted to trade places with you? Your guys have mosquitoes in their nostrils and ears too."

Just as Mario's minions were about to move, the buzzing of mosquitoes came from each of their ears or nostrils.

Everyone was startled and reached out to try and pry the mosquito out.

The driver laughed and said, "Don't move! Even mosquitoes can be detonated by external pressure. You can take a gamble, just bet the mosquitoes won't kill you."

Mario laughed awkwardly and said, "Dude, don't joke around. That thing's already inside my ear canal. I couldn't take even a little explosion. Dude, you didn't come alone. You have a backup hiding in the shadows, right?"

"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask. All you need to do now is make your choice," the driver advised.

Mario immediately said, "I suddenly remembered that I already repaid the favor I owed Gilbert. There's no reason for me to spend my whole life repaying a favor, right? Brother, just do your thing, I won't interfere."

Tracy was shocked and exclaimed, "My husband saved your whole family's lives! How could you say such a thing?"

Mario immediately said, "I've helped your husband obtain a lot of intelligence over the years, and I've already repaid the debt of saving his life. With your husband's position, anything that happens to him would be a matter of life and death. The fact that I'm willing to take you in is already an extra way of repaying your husband. You can't expect me to protect you with my own life, can you? Brother, just do your thing and don't worry about us. We won't interfere."

The driver opened Tracy's suitcase and took out the wooden box.

“I’ve taken the things. If you need anything, I can arrange for you to board the boat to Da Mao’s house,” the driver said.

Tracy immediately said, "I've lost my bargaining power, so going to the Russians is useless. I'm going to China; I know who your boss is."

The driver smiled and said, "No problem! I can arrange for you to board the plane."

Tracy immediately pulled the child onto the truck.

The driver said to Mario, "You guys stay still. After we leave, the mosquitoes will automatically fly out of your bodies. If anyone moves and gets blown up, don't blame me."

Mario quickly replied, "Understood! Understood!"

The driver took Tracy and the children to Moscow City, where they took the nearest flight to Dragon Country Deep Town.

While the FBI and NSA were still searching for Tracy's whereabouts, they had already been brought to Yang Chen by the driver.

Yang Chen opened the wooden box and looked inside. Then he said to Tracy, "You can stay in Dragon Country for 240 hours. Decide where you want to go, and I'll take you there."

Tracy immediately said, "We're not going anywhere; we're staying in Dragon Kingdom. You took our amulets, shouldn't you protect us?"

Yang Chen laughed and said, "You're wrong to say that. If it weren't for my men saving you, you'd all be lying on the same bed as Gilbert right now. Would you even have a chance to survive until now? These things are only for exchanging for your safe escape from Bald Eagle. You can't exchange them for anything else. Go to the hotel and rest. You have 240 hours to think it over. Ah Hu, take them to the hotel and protect their safety for the next 240 hours."

Guo Hu nodded and said, "Understood!"

After Guo Hu and the others left, Yang Chen couldn't wait to open the wooden box, take out a USB drive, and insert it into the computer to watch.

"Ouch, holy crap, ouch, this is so offensive..."

As Yang Chen watched the video, he couldn't help but sigh.

Even the usually bold Yang Chen became a little "timid" after seeing the evidence.

If he were to expose all this evidence, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the Western world. This war is not a financial war, an economic war, or an investment war, but a real hot war that requires soldiers to go to the battlefield and fight, the kind that directly triggers S3. It's that exaggerated.

Because the people involved are all incredibly powerful, even figures as influential as Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking are only considered average. You can imagine how explosive the scandals must be. If they were all exposed, it would be like flipping the table with the Western world, which would lead to a hot war.

Although Yang Chen dared not expose everything, selectively revealing a little bit would allow people around the world to know what kind of people the Western elites are. That would be acceptable.

Moreover, Wang Sihai had been hiding with the White Eagle all along, and the money he had swindled from the people had been divided up in small portions.

Yang Chen wanted to use this evidence as a bargaining chip, demanding that White Eagle return Wang Sihai's family and all the money they had taken out of the country.

Of course, Yang Chen could keep a backup for unforeseen circumstances.

The FBI quickly tracked down to Mario and learned from him that Tracy had been taken away by Yang Chen's men.

This caused an uproar in the Bald Eagles. They immediately contacted the Chinese authorities and ordered Yang Chen not to expose the evidence, saying they were open to discussing any conditions.

The relevant departments immediately contacted Yang Chen to understand the situation and learned that he had evidence of Western politicians and celebrities engaging in misconduct on the island. The relevant departments immediately dispatched a special team to Jiangcheng to meet with him.

Meanwhile, Lucio's team, who had previously negotiated with Yang Chen, came to him again.

As the second-in-command of the Bald Eagle's foreign ministry, Lucio holds a very high position.

However, at this moment he acted meekly and asked Yang Chen not to expose the dirty secrets in the wooden box.

Yang Chen laughed and said, "Why the long face? Weren't you quite smug when you came over a couple of days ago?"

Lucio smiled awkwardly and replied, "I was wrong before, please forgive me, Mr. Yang. What you now possess is very important to all mankind. If you expose it and leave Western politicians and celebrities with no way out, the consequences will be unimaginable. Mr. Yang is knowledgeable and should be able to guess the consequences of exposing these things. Please return the items to us, Mr. Yang. In return, we can meet some of your reasonable requests."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "That's the right way to talk to me. I have three conditions. First, if the CIA sends agents to kill me, you must publicly admit this fact, apologize, and take action against the person in charge. Second, the Wang Sihai family and all the money they took out must be returned. Third, half of the 2380 billion Eagle Dollars I owe Wall Street must be forgiven. Am I generous enough? I didn't ask them to forgive it all. If all three conditions are met, I will return the evidence to you." Lucio naturally couldn't decide whether to accept or refuse; he could only quickly contact his family for instructions on how to respond.

The White House convened an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures. In addition to the heads of the FBI, NSA and other departments, the presidents of several major Wall Street investment banks also attended the meeting.

The president's secretary said, "I just received a call from Lucio. Yang Chen made three demands. He will only return the evidence to us if these three demands are met. First, publicly admit that the CIA sent agents to assassinate him, apologize, admit wrongdoing, and deal with the CIA's head. Second, give all of Wang Sihai's family and all the money they took with them to China. Third, reduce the amount Sihai Investment owes Wall Street by half. Everyone, what are your thoughts?"

BlackRock CEO Manny Pacquiao immediately said, "That's absolutely not going to work! Half of the 2380 billion Eagle Dollars is practically robbery. If you're going to agree to this, then everyone who's been to the island should compensate us a little money."

Goldman Sachs CEO Winterkorn, JPMorgan Chase CEO Pinto, and other investment bank CEOs all share this view: their money cannot be used to buy everyone a safe haven; the cost must be shared by everyone who goes to the island.

FBI Director Parker said, "He's clearly taking advantage of the situation. We can't let him get away with it. What's the worst that can happen? We'll just go to war. What's there to be afraid of?"

NSA Director Richardson said, "You know nothing about the strength of the Dragon Kingdom. We can no longer win against them through war. I agree with the plan to have everyone who has been to the island share the costs. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems at all. We have suffered many times for trying to resist Yang Chen. We must not suffer the same fate again this time."

Parker said, "You're too cowardly. Yang Chen can't make such a big decision on his own. His family will definitely get involved. We can just let him off the hook and talk to his family. No matter how ruthless his family is, they can't possibly ask to forgive more than 100 billion in debt and ask us to return the money that Wang Sihai brought out."

In fact, NSA Director Richardson is right. When dealing with Yang Chen, you must understand one thing: the first offer he makes will always be the most favorable. Choosing to resist will only result in paying a greater price.

Even though I've already suffered many losses, I still make the same mistakes and suffer the same losses every time something happens.

Lucio, who was in charge of the negotiations, received a call from home instructing him to bypass Yang Chen and negotiate directly with the higher-ups.

at this time.

The special task force sent by the relevant departments of the Dragon Kingdom has also obtained the incriminating information, and they were shocked after reading it.

To put it simply, if these damaging allegations were leaked by someone within the Bald Eagle regime itself, there would definitely be an internal conflict among them.

If the information was leaked by another country, then war would definitely break out.

Scientists, entertainment stars, tycoons, politicians, current high-ranking officials, former presidents, etc.—if you take them all down in one fell swoop, wouldn't that be like flipping the table?

The head of the special task force instructed, "Chairman Yang, this is terrifying. You must keep it safe and not let anyone else see it, let alone expose it."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "Understood! I estimate they will skip me and talk to you. I don't care what conditions you offer, my three conditions must be met, otherwise I will expose them and give them a warning."

The head of the task force said, "Understood. What are Chairman Yang's conditions? Tell us."

Yang Chen then stated his three conditions.

The head of the task force nodded and said, "I think Chairman Yang's request is very reasonable. It would be too ungrateful of them to refuse. That's all for now. I need to go back and report to my superiors as soon as possible. We'll contact each other again if there are any new developments."

Yang Chen nodded and saw the special task force off.

Late at night a day later, Yang Chen suddenly received a call from the special task force.

"Chairman Yang, your superiors have instructed you to release some information to give them a warning. Since they're not showing any respect, let's put them under some pressure."

Yang Chen smiled and said, "No problem! I'll release some information right now."

At this moment, Epstein, the owner of Lolita Island, was extremely panicked. He knew that once the things on the island were exposed, even if he was a billionaire, his end would be death.

He is currently discussing countermeasures with some political figures and celebrities, hoping that they can protect him.

However, at this very moment, the shocking secrets of Little St. James Island were exposed online.

The island's owner, Epstein, abducted celebrities from all over the world and invited them to the island to enjoy himself. The list included Stephen Hawking, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Jackson, and Henry Copperfield.

The exposed individuals are all world-class celebrities, but none of them are sensitive figures. This serves as a warning without forcing the US to openly escalate tensions.

The news quickly dominated the front pages of mainstream media in all countries except the United States, and netizens from various countries also left comments.

A netizen from Bald Eagle commented: "Oh my god, this revelation is explosive. If all of this is true, Western civilization will collapse."

An English netizen commented: "Huh? Hawking? Are you sure this isn't a joke? This news is obviously fake. How can anyone play games when Hawking is like that? Fuck! This has shattered my worldview."

A German netizen commented: "I checked the TikTok account that first broke the news, and it's confirmed to be an account associated with Mr. Yang. This means it was Mr. Yang who leaked these secrets, so it can't be fake. Is Mr. Yang trying to use this leak to threaten the CIA because his feud with the CIA isn't over?"

Japanese netizens commented: This is too decadent! I beg Mr. Yang to reveal more; I love watching this. Completely tear off the veil of Western civilization and let the whole world see what kind of people they are.

A South Korean netizen commented: "I'm really growing to like Yang Chen more and more. He's so brave. Isn't he afraid of being assassinated by Western countries?"

A netizen from the Sand Kingdom commented: "He's already taken out CIA agents, what other tricks can other countries pull? I'm begging my idol to reveal more; I want to see Western civilization completely collapse."

……

At this moment, the White House held another meeting.

"Fuck! Weren't we negotiating? Why did he have to expose it?"

“We don’t meet his conditions, and he’s putting pressure on us. It seems that’s the attitude of the Dragon Kingdom; we have to meet all their conditions.”

"I told you long ago not to go against Yang Chen, not to even think about resisting, otherwise we would suffer even greater losses and pay a much higher price to reach a settlement. But you wouldn't listen to my advice. Do you believe me now? Quickly agree to all their conditions and stop harboring illusions. The next list to be exposed might include any of you here, understand?"

……

Just as they were discussing it, a second list was leaked online.

Singer Beyoncé, actress Angelina Jolie, Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr., director Steven Spielberg, former First Lady Michelle Obama, Prince Andrew...

This list, in addition to celebrities, has included some political figures, and quite high-ranking ones at that, which has generated increasing interest worldwide.

A netizen named "White-haired Winner" commented: "Huh? Even the former First Lady went? No, what was she doing there? Hmm... Is it what I'm thinking?"

An English netizen commented: "Huh? Prince Andrew went too? Oh no, I hope civilization has completely collapsed. They preach morality and righteousness while doing immoral things. They're so damn hypocritical."

A German netizen commented: "Does our country have any like this? We need to expose them immediately. We must clean house and absolutely not allow any bad apples in our country."

Japanese netizens: Hurry up and reveal the news! This wave already includes a former First Lady; the next wave should include a former President. Let the whole world see how decadent and inhumane they are. If Mr. Yang dares to reveal a third wave, I'll be his fan from now on.

A netizen from China commented: "Boss Yang: Let me reveal the true face of Hope Civilization."

……

The people at the White House were in an uproar when they saw this list.

"Madman! Pure madman! Fuck!"

"Quickly agree to all of that madman's demands; we can't let him reveal any more information!"

"Fuck! What is this madman trying to do?"

"Alright, enough talk. Immediately inform Lucio to accept all the conditions offered by China and Yang Chen, and make Yang Chen stop leaking information immediately! The CIA should issue a statement to punish Gilbert, apologize to Yang Chen, and do this immediately, without any hesitation! Hurry!"

……

The CIA immediately issued a statement.

"Our agency discovered that former Director Collins Gilbert was suspected of violating the law and committing crimes by sending agents to assassinate Mr. Yang Chen without authorization, which brought extremely negative consequences to both the CIA and Mr. Yang Chen. Our agency arrested Collins Gilbert in accordance with the law, but he committed suicide last night out of fear of punishment. Our agency formally expresses its sincere apologies to Mr. Yang Chen and will dispatch a special team to Wuhan, China, to explain the situation to him in person. We once again urge all departments of the CIA to abide by the law and not to abuse their power for personal gain."
