Didn't later generations say that the Kennedy family was cursed? Well then, let that curse come true.

There were exactly two years left until the election. One of them, John F. Kennedy Jr., died each year, and then in the crucial year of the final election, it was Melanie's turn!

How perfect?

Let's start with John F. Kennedy... What kind of constructive way should we arrange for him to die?

A few days later, news of John F. Kennedy's drunk driving accident that plunged into the river and drowned made the front page of Massachusetts.

After a police investigation, it was ultimately determined to be just an accident!

The Kennedy family found nothing amiss and could only accept the situation.

This dealt a heavy blow to John F. Kennedy, who was preparing for the election.

After all, the Kennedy family's current political influence is basically derived from the elder Kennedy. His death instantly put John F. Kennedy in a very passive position.

However, it was at this time that Howard Stark brought him good news, because Josie "agreed" to let Continental Group fully support his campaign.

This news instantly lifted John F. Kennedy's spirits, dispelling the gloom of his father's death. He even made a special overseas call to Josie, who had already returned to Europe, to express his gratitude.

They also promised various benefits to the Continental Group if they won the election!

“Look, this is what happens when you get sold out and still have to help the seller count the money. You’d better be more careful in the future!” Inside Neuschwanstein Castle, Josie hung up the phone and said with a smile to his eldest son, Mike, who was having afternoon tea with him.

“You should tell Ben that. This kid is completely infatuated with that Sif. All he can think about is becoming the strongest. He’s practically a battle maniac!” Mike rolled his eyes and said in response to his father’s lecture.

Upon hearing Mike's words, Josie's face twitched. When the Asgardian delegation came, his youngest son was captivated by Sif, which was something he hadn't expected. It just goes to show how naive and easily swayed children can be.

Fortunately, this did not happen to his eldest son and eldest daughter.

This brought Josie some comfort!

In particular, the eldest daughter, Carol, after becoming queen, relied on the manpower and power left to her by Josie, and in just one year, she had already seized real power in the United Kingdom of Austria, transforming from a figurehead queen into a true ruler.

While former Austrian President and current Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Karl Lenner, was slightly disappointed, he was mostly pleased.

Although still young, Carol has indeed demonstrated the fine qualities of an excellent ruler!

however……

“Your Majesty, this is called the Life Card. It is a treasure of the legendary civilization, the royal family of Atlantis. It can evolve the wearer’s life structure, thereby granting them infinite wisdom and power… Of course, as a divine heir, this thing cannot bring you much help, but it is still quite nice as an ornament!” In Carol’s private reception room at Schönbrunn Palace, Loki respectfully handed a jade-green crystal card to Carol.

“Thank you, Loki! I love this gift, but I’ve said it many times before, you don’t need to call me Your Majesty, it’s too formal. Just call me Carol, we’re friends, aren’t we?” Carol said happily as she accepted the Life Card.

“Alright, Carol, but I think I should take my leave. After all, I can’t be away from Asgard for too long!” Loki hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Pah! Don't think I don't know. It's not that you can't leave Asgard for too long; you're just afraid of my father, aren't you?" Carol said, clearly displeased with Loki's words.

Loki could only helplessly twitch his lips at Carol's words. How could he not be afraid? If Josie found out that he had been in contact with Carol in private, he would probably be exposed.

At this moment, he couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have left his magical communication device with Carol in the first place.

His only intention was to please the queen so that she could speak well of him to Josie if necessary in the future.

For some reason, the queen started chatting with him every few days and wanted to see him all the time.

Loki dared not refuse to come; if the queen had a bad day and complained to Josie, he would be finished just as badly.

Chapter 313 Ruins Exploration

"By the way, Father, when are you planning to deal with that ruin in Sulawesi?" Mike asked Josh after taking a sip of coffee.

"Hmm? Why are you asking about this? Or are you already eyeing my title?" Josie glanced at her eldest son and asked.

"Hehe, no way, I'm just interested in that ruin!" Mike said, scratching his head.

"...Why did you suddenly become interested in that ruin?" Josie asked, somewhat surprised.

“Hey, I’m getting a little bored, aren’t I? It’s finally summer vacation! But Carol is busy with government affairs every day, and Ben is always at the training ground. I’m so bored that I remembered that ruin… Father, how about you take me on an adventure?” Mike said, leaning close to Josie.

European schools, while having different holiday dates, generally have four breaks: spring, summer, autumn, and winter, so they also have summer vacation.

“It’s not impossible. When we first discovered that ruin, we weren’t very confident, so we just sealed it away. Developing it again now shouldn’t be a big problem… But before that, you need to get your mother’s permission!” Josie said after thinking for a moment.

"So you agreed to take me with you because your mother didn't object?" Mike asked, his eyes darting around.

“That’s right!” Josie nodded.

"Oh yeah, that's great! Mother doesn't object. She said she'll agree as long as you agree!" Mike cheered immediately upon hearing this.

? ? ? ?

Hey kid, you've been waiting for me here.

Okay, let's go!

Although he didn't know what the situation would be at the other end of the interstellar teleportation array, with his current strength, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Now that the decision has been made to activate the interstellar teleportation array, the first thing to do is to determine who will go.

Josie initially thought of inviting the whole family, but the first to refuse was Margot, who had recently become obsessed with jewelry making... well, not the normal kind of jewelry making, but the magical jewelry making of Azeroth. She had ruined a lot of Josie's magical materials and various magical gems.

However, Josie generally supports Margot's hobbies, since they have plenty of money to afford them.

The second person to refuse was Carol, who said she was too busy lately.

Josie was not surprised by this. The United Kingdom of Austria had been established for less than a year. Although there were no major problems in terms of economy and military, with Josie's support, the various internal affairs and conflicts of a new country formed by the reorganization of multiple countries were not so easy to handle. If Carol wanted to become a truly excellent king, there was still a lot to learn and do.

Josie wondered if it was just her imagination, but she noticed that Carol seemed particularly excited when she heard that she was going to leave Earth.

The youngest son, Ben, showed great interest in the upcoming exploration of the ruins. In his words, the battles in the training grounds were no longer enough for him; going to an alien region would definitely allow him to experience various real-world combat scenarios, which would be a great training opportunity for him.

Josie asked Xu Wenwu again, but he also refused. The reason for his refusal left Josie speechless: Jia Ying was pregnant, already five months along, and carrying twins like Mike and Carol—Silvermoon City's technology made it easy to check the sex of a fetus. In this day and age, there were no laws against testing a child's sex, and even if there were, they wouldn't apply to the moon!

However, Howard the Duck, who has also settled in Silvermoon City, is very interested in this ruin.

Furthermore, after hearing that Josie was planning to develop the ruins, Governor Veresa of Reach sent Yondu to Josie, saying she wanted the kid to gain some experience.

With this, the team exploring this interstellar teleportation array is basically complete.

Josie personally led the team, which included her eldest son Mike, youngest son Ben, Howard Duck, and Yondu.

Add another one, Josie's assistant, Bresta.

Of course, although Josie believed she had enough ability to ensure her own and others' safety, she didn't recklessly activate the teleportation array and go straight there.

........................

Inside the relic teleportation array, Josie held a broken steel sword, surrounded by several all-terrain military robots tethered by cables.

As Josie inserted the broken steel sword into the stone platform and gently turned it, an invisible energy wave instantly spread out from the roof of the teleportation array plaza, forming a water-ripple-shaped door.

Standing on the teleportation array, Josie could faintly feel the suction force coming from above.

"Let the robots go first!" Josie ordered.

Then several robots slowly pulled it over.

"Sir, we've confirmed that the air on the other side is suitable for human survival, and there's a similar ruin there. However, like here, there's no one there; it's been abandoned and sealed off. We can't rule out the possibility that the ruin is located in an extreme environment such as underground or underwater. Should we conduct further investigation?" After the robot returned through the portal a dozen minutes later, the person in charge here asked Josh as he looked at the footage of the ruin on the other side that the robot had captured.

"No need, as long as we make sure the other side is safe, the rest are minor issues!" Josie waved her hand and said.

His only concern was that the other side might be an extreme cosmic environment like a star or a black hole. Once he confirmed that the other side was just a normal planet, the rest was not a problem.

Josie then called the others to change into full-body combat protective suits, and then took the lead and jumped over the portal in mid-air.

With a moment of disorientation, Josie found herself in a teleportation array identical to that of the Sulawesi ruins, and the portal, like in Sulawesi, was located in mid-air.

The only difference is that, unlike teleportation arrays on Earth, the key in the center of this teleportation array is a broken steel sword.

On this stone platform sits a dazzling crystal!

This explains why teleportation arrays on Earth can be activated even though they are not powered; the energy source is actually on this side.

As Josie observed her surroundings, figures descended from the portal.

After everyone else disembarked, hundreds more military robots came down, including several enormous Transformers.

Once everyone had arrived, Josie removed the crystal from the stone platform, and the portal immediately closed.

"Father, what's wrong?" Mike asked, puzzled.

“This crystal is obviously the power core of the portal. Since we’re going on an adventure, we definitely need to keep this thing safe. Otherwise, if some other person or creature comes here and takes the crystal when we come back from our adventure, won’t we be unable to find our way back?” Josie explained immediately.

Furthermore, the hundreds of military robots that also arrived were there to guard the ruins and ensure that the teleportation array would not be destroyed.

Upon hearing this, the group suddenly realized, "Oh right, this thing is like a key, and the portal is the lock. If they don't take this key with them when they 'go out,' or if the lock is broken, they won't be able to go back, which would be terrible."

Then, under Josie's command, the hundreds of robots that had followed released drones and began to explore the entire ruins.

After exploring for more than ten minutes, Josie quickly grasped the situation of the entire ruins and their location.

Unlike relics on Earth that are located underground on islands, this relic is situated underground in a desert.

The robot spent a lot of effort to dig through the exit of the ruins, which had been completely buried by the desert.

"Ugh, I hate this environment. Thank goodness I'm wearing a protective suit!" Standing at the entrance of the ruins, looking at the vast desert and feeling the coolness brought by the air conditioning system inside the protective suit, Howard Duck couldn't help but sigh.

“Two moons, it seems we really are no longer on Earth!” Bresta said, looking at the two satellites in the sky, whose outlines could be faintly seen even in daylight.

"The atmosphere isn't too different from Earth's. Even without protective suits, we can breathe here!" Mike said, checking the atmospheric data report obtained from the protective suit.

“But I don’t think anyone would want to take off their protective suit in this heat, right?” Josie said, looking at the 43 degrees Celsius displayed on her protective suit.

“Um…Josie, while I agree with what you said, your son doesn’t seem to think so!” Howard Duck pointed behind him as soon as Josie finished speaking.
