From Joy of Life, the Tian Gang is reversed

Chapter 471 The Sith's Footsteps

"It's clear that the Department of Homeland Security had been investigating Brody for some time, had preliminarily identified him as a suspect, and had prevented the explosion in time. But why didn't they notify the president?"

Kate keenly sensed the inconsistencies in the incident. Brody's attack wasn't a shooting; he was acting as a human bomb. His seemingly ordinary suit was actually an explosive suit infused with alien technology, powerful enough to blast the entire studio into the sky.

However, the explosion did not occur, indicating that Homeland Security had tampered with the equipment.

Of course, that's not all. From the moment Brody rushed onto the stage and made just one move before being shot twice, to the fact that he was arrested, a press conference was held less than three hours later, it was clear that he had been under the watch of the Department of Homeland Security for a long time.

However, the president was unaware that he was being targeted by the Department of Homeland Security...

"Don't put all the credit on the Department of Homeland Security. The bomb didn't explode because of me. It was a bomb made using alien technology. Don't forget, I'm the head of the Extraterritorial Investigation Department. For my own safety, I've always carried shielding devices made with alien technology with me."

Kevin pulled something that looked like a voice recorder from his pocket and threw it on the table.

"Without this little thing, we would all have been blown to bits today."

"Hiss—" Kate's heart skipped a beat, and she gasped.

"The Department of Homeland Security probably has suspicions about Brody, but Brody's status is special. He is a typical example that the President deliberately promoted, so their investigation should be very cautious. Without direct evidence, they dare not go too far, which is why they made such a big deal out of it."

"This is a big problem for the President!"

When the matter was mentioned, Kate sighed softly, looking lost and forlorn.

Although she comes from the Grant family, the president, who is from the Democratic Party, and his governing philosophy are quite compatible with her views, and she often cheers for this president!

"Senator Crane's leap was a stroke of genius!!" Kevin exclaimed with a laugh. "Now, the tables have turned!"

Whether genuine or feigned, after a heated debate on the stage, his fearless act of stepping forward to shield others and risking his life is an impeccable and perfect action from any perspective, enough to elevate Kran to godlike status.

As for President Mace, her connection with Brody is far too deep...

In the following days, after a media frenzy and widespread public discussion, Senator Crane's poll numbers surged dramatically, while President Mays's poll numbers declined in the opposite direction. Adding to the problem, Senator Crane was hospitalized with her gunshot wound, while she had to attend congressional hearings. After all, the Brody affair was far too significant; he wasn't just an assassin or terrorist, but a national hero and political star promoted by the Democratic Party. There were even rumors before the incident that the Democratic Party intended to support him in his next election. Of course, the Democratic Party vehemently denied these claims!

Unfortunately, it's too late to undo it.

————I am the dividing line————

"boom--!!!"

A deafening roar of cheers, applause, and whistles instantly filled the banquet hall! Confetti and sequins rained down from the ceiling! Supporters embraced, jumped, and wept with joy!

On stage, Senator Crane's eyes suddenly lit up with a dazzling light, her feigned composure replaced by immense joy and relief. She took a deep breath, straightened her back, and flashed a radiant smile of victory, waving to her enthusiastic supporters below the stage.

Kevin's gaze swept across the excited crowd, landing on the massive television screen in the corner of the banquet hall. There, FOX News was broadcasting footage of President Mays. Against the backdrop of the Oval Office, Ms. Mays appeared pale and exhausted, forcing a composed demeanor, but the disappointment and frustration in her eyes were unmistakable. She had just delivered a brief concession speech, acknowledging the election results and promising a smooth transfer of power. "A new era is about to begin," Kevin murmured to himself, downing the remaining champagne in his glass before turning and leaving the noisy banquet hall.

The heavy solid wood doors shut out the noise of the banquet hall. Philson Grant stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the city's night view with a deep gaze.

As an immortal superhuman, he wasn't particularly concerned with worldly affairs. His initial motivation for founding the Grant family was simply to improve his own financial situation, cultivate his power, and make his life safer. Therefore, although the Grant family possessed considerable strength, it wasn't particularly active within the Chicago financial community, until today…

The sound of the door opening startled Philson, who turned to see Kevin walking in with a relaxed smile.

Seeing Kevin, Philson smiled slightly. "Well done, first step successful."

"This is just the first step," Kevin said with a smile. "Have all our people been arranged?!"

"Yes, there are six in total, mixed in with both parties. Don't worry, two of them have been in the Whig Party and are hundreds of years old, so there won't be any problems," Philson said with a smile.

If he initially had some doubts about the history of the Highlanders woven by Kevin, after Kevin produced the complete Sith legacy and mastered it, reaching a level of emotional connection with the Force, he became completely convinced of the history Kevin had created.

Heritage cannot be faked, nor can the Force. And these Highlanders are so in tune with the Force that this power and heritage system seem tailor-made for them...

Furthermore, those technologies that clearly do not belong to Earth and can only come from interstellar civilizations cannot be faked...

Everything proved that Kevin hadn't lied to him. In the distant past, there really was a powerful Sith Empire that ruled the entire interstellar space, and these Highlanders were the descendants of the Sith...

Under such a grand narrative, doesn't a sense of responsibility naturally arise?

Of course, most importantly, with the Force's legacy, Highlanders can enhance their power through Force cultivation, instead of resorting to barbaric and bloody methods to absorb the power of their kind as before. Force cultivation not only allows their strength to develop rapidly, but also elevates their spiritual realm. The barbaric practices of the past are now seen as utterly low-class by Highlanders who have cultivated the Force...

Therefore, from this perspective, all the Highlanders who regained their Sith heritage were reborn.

But is this really a good thing for the Highlanders?

Having lived for so many years, the people of the Highlands who have almost witnessed the history of humankind have a clearer understanding of the nature of humanity, especially the nature of the wealthy and powerful, than humans themselves.

In the past, when technology was less advanced, it was fine to find a place to stay for decades and then move to another place without any problems. But now, with the rapid development of technology and the increasingly完善的national system, it is definitely impossible for the people of the highlands to live like they used to.

It is precisely because the Highlanders are used to hiding that they have not encountered any problems in recent years. However, with the progress of the times, once the characteristics and abilities of the Highlanders are exposed and humans discover that there is such an immortal race, what will they face?
A lone Highlander will definitely be dissected and studied!
After all, some people are willing to be embraced by vampires in order to prolong their lives, let alone the immortality of the Highlanders who have no side effects. This kind of thing is unavoidable. There is only one way: to rule them and rebuild the Sith Empire!
This is also why he spares no effort in supporting Kevin.

“We still have time. In this time, we should try to put our people in suitable positions,” Kevin said. “We should also select a few people who are good at psychological manipulation and put them in the NGOs we have chosen. Although we still have time, it is better to do it sooner rather than later.”

“I understand.” Philson nodded. “Once the Alien Control Act is fully implemented, it will definitely cause chaos for a while. That will be our opportunity!”
