The extraordinary life of a certain American comic.

Chapter 138 Some Family Wealth Tiffany! (55 Request Full Order)
Locke fell silent again as he looked at Otto, who was speaking seriously and righteously that he had no money to buy a plane ticket.

For the first time in his life, he doubted whether he had made the wrong decision.

For God's sake.

When he broke up with Stephanie, he never regretted it and never doubted whether his decision was right.

But the black-skinned Skru hybrid before him almost made his mind collapse.

Fortunately, it was just a close call.

Locke took a deep breath and calmed his almost broken heart.

"How much do you want."

"Thirty thousand."

"How many?"

Locke couldn't hold back after hearing this number. He looked at Otto and asked, "Are you sitting in first class?"

Besides, a first-class flight from Washington to Paris doesn't cost that much.

Otto explained: "The flight to Paris is indeed not expensive, but when I get to Paris, I want to find the leader Talos, and this is where the big expense is."

Locke frowned and looked at Otto.

"what?"

"You don't think that I, a dark horse, can meet the leader just by saying I want to meet the leader, do you?" Otto said, and then gave an example: "Take you for example, can you meet the president just by saying you want to meet the president?"

Locke raised his eyebrows and opened his mouth.

Otto also reacted at this time: "No, you are a powerful person in Washington, let's talk about her, can she meet the president just by saying she wants to?"

Locke followed the direction of Otto's gaze and looked at Stephanie Malik who was standing nearby.

Stephanie looked at Otto pointing at her, was stunned at first, then shrugged.

"actually……"

"Sorry, I was wrong."

Otto reacted again and realized that Stephanie in front of him seemed to have an even more powerful background than Locke.

Locke was, after all, only the son of a politician.

And Stephanie...

Their family can produce politicians.

Damn it, I hate the powerful!

Why shouldn't I be?

Otto admitted his mistake with a serious face, then pointed at himself and looked at Locke.

"Take me for example. Can I say I want to see the president and then I can see him?"

"No."

"That's it."

Otto heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Locke and explained, "I'm going back to Paris. I'm going to find a tribe member who can meet the leader. I'm going to spend money to find that tribe member, so the big money is here."

Locke's mouth twitched: "Thirty thousand, isn't that too much?"

Hearing this, Otto looked at Locke suspiciously: "Twenty-five thousand is the normal price. By the way, shouldn't you be very rich?"

Locke glanced.

"I am rich."

"That……"

"But I have no money."

His money was kept in a joint account with his wife Esme, and they were saving for a house in Manhattan.

The most important thing.

Which good guy would walk around with 30,000 US dollars?

Not to mention him, even old Underwood never had more than one thousand US dollars in cash on him.

at this time.

There was a sound of a drawer being opened.

Locke and Otto looked in the direction of the sound.

into the eye.

Stephanie opened a secret compartment on the floor of the monitoring room, took out five stacks of brand new US dollars, and threw them directly to Otto: "I'll give you 50,000. The remaining 20,000 is your tip. You are really good. You have been holding that perverted black man back."

Otto looked at the five stacks of brand new US knives in his hand, then raised his head to look at Stephanie who was walking towards Locke with her arms folded while speaking.

He was silent for a while.

next second.

Otto bent down to Stephanie without any hesitation: "Mistress!"

When Stephanie heard the title, a happy expression appeared on her face and she glanced sideways at Locke beside her.

Locke looked at Otto, who looked fearless in the last second but bowed down for money in the next second. He rubbed his brow in pain and hurriedly said to Otto: "Get out, get out!"

He was afraid that if Otto stayed here, his faith would really collapse because of Otto.

Otto readily followed suit, called Stephanie "mistress" once again, and left the monitoring room with a smile on his face, holding the $50,000 he had received.

Wait until Otto leaves.

Locke then put down his arm that was pressing on his forehead and looked at Stephanie speechlessly: "You also have 50,000 cash in the monitoring room?"

Stephanie blinked.

“I didn’t put that money there.”

"That……"

"My dad put that there. When I was a kid, he was afraid that I would get bored, so he played hide-and-seek with me. He put cash in many places and asked me to look for it all over the manor. He said that if I found it, it would be mine."

"……many?"

"Ah."

"Well, it's none of my business."

Locke shook his head, then met Stephanie's half-smile, and asked after a moment of silence.

"A lot. How much?"

"I haven't counted, but it's probably around seven or eight."

"Seven to eight hundred thousand?"

"No, seven or eight million. I still haven't found many places. It should be more."

"..."

I hate rich people! Stephanie looked at the expression on Locke's face and said with a smile: "Do you regret breaking up with me at that time? Say sorry to me, and I will forgive you immediately, really."

Locke looked at Stephanie who was smiling beautifully, and also showed a half-smile on his face as he looked at Stephanie.

"I already forgive you, Tiffany."

"Wait...you forgive me?"

"See for yourself."

Locke smiled, lowered his eyes, and once again took off the button camera that he had attached before going to the observatory to meet the fake Stephanie and threw it to Stephanie: "You will find the answer."

Done.

Locke left the monitoring room without looking back.

because……

The FBI showed up.

Locke walked out of the monitoring room and looked up. He saw three FBI helicopters hovering overhead.

not far away.

Gideon Malik, with gray hair, an ugly complexion, and seemingly a little dusty, was sitting on the steps outside with a gloomy face, smoking a cigar.

Locke walked straight over.

but……

He stopped when he was five steps away from Gideon Malik.

Gideon glanced at Locke who had stopped walking, snorted coldly, and didn't treat Locke well: "Why, are you afraid of seeing me?"

At first he thought that his beloved daughter had dumped Locke, so even though he reduced the sponsorship funds for old Underwood in the second year, it was still a little higher than before.

But he learned the truth only after the news of Locke's marriage came and Stephanie became distraught.

At that time, he wanted to gather the Hydra army, go directly to New York, and kill Locke.

But because of my precious daughter and because so many years have passed, I gave up.

but……

How could he have a good face when he thought that the wild boar in front of him not only ate his precious daughter, but also didn't want her anymore?

But when he thought about it, it was this wild boar that saved him today.

Although Gideon Malik still had a stern face, he still said, "Don't worry, I won't eat you."

Locke shook his head.

"No, you stink."

"you……"

Gideon's face darkened and he looked at Locke.

Locke looked at Gideon, whose face had turned black, and said seriously, "Really, I strongly suggest that you take a bath now."

Gideon looked at Locke's expression, subconsciously raised his arm, and took a deep breath under his armpit.

next second.

A foul smell that rushed straight to his head made him feel dizzy.

Locke looked at Gideon who was staggering on the spot after standing up, hesitated for a moment, and finally chose not to go up to help him.

What if this guy falls down and then claims he did it?

Although this is unlikely.

But it is possible.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

Locke had no doubt that any traveler who traveled from the world of his previous life to another world would think so.

Why are you trying to help if you didn't hit him?

The impact of that incident cannot be forgotten just by changing the world.

Fortunately, Gideon only staggered a few steps before he stood firm, then walked into the manor without looking back.

Locke looked at Gideon's back.

"Where are you going?"

"bath."

"Who will entertain these FBI agents?"

"you."

"That's not good. How about you finish entertaining me before taking a shower?"

"Don't force me to have someone impeach old Underwood. Send these FBI agents away."

Being kidnapped is embarrassing enough, and to have him show up smelling bad is even more painful than killing him.

Locke looked at Gideon who was walking quickly towards the house, shrugged, then turned his head and looked at an FBI agent who had just gotten off the helicopter and was about to walk over here and said, "You heard what Malik said, you can go."

The FBI agent looked at Locke, who was not at all nervous when facing them.

"You are……"

"Locke, Locke Underwood."

"……Walk."

The FBI agent was silent for a while after listening to Locke's introduction. After remembering the significance of this surname in Washington, he shook Locke's right hand and turned to the agents who were getting off the helicopter and shouted, "Nothing is happening here. Dismiss."

Orders and prohibitions.

The FBI agents who had just received the report of gunfire at Malik Manor and rushed over hurriedly got back on the helicopter.

soon.

The three helicopters took off again, circled above Malik Manor, and left quickly.

Locke retracted his gaze and looked at Stephanie who came out of the monitoring room.

"Where's my dad?" Stephanie came out and asked.

Locke shrugged, "He went to take a shower. This guy is not polite. I am not a member of your family, but he went to take a shower by himself and asked me to stay to deal with the FBI. When I didn't help, he said he wanted people to impeach Frank."

Stephanie listened to Locke's words with a blank expression.

"Dad really wants you to be part of the family."

"hehe."

Locke smiled, then seemed to think of something, looked at Stephanie and blinked.

"So... have you finished watching the video?"

"..."
