People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

With such a small force, they had absolutely no chance of winning against the army. Ding Ze had no intention of confronting the army head-on, so he made another call to the governor of Maryland.

Previously, General Granz and Eddie Thomas had had several friendly conversations with the governor of Maryland.

To put it simply, a transaction was made.

The deal wasn't complicated. Basically, the governor had to guarantee that Ding Ze's operations in Fort Meade would go smoothly, and in return, the new president would promote the governor of Maryland to vice president.

At the same time, the governor of Maryland will receive a huge cash bonus.

The deal was a great deal, and the governor of Maryland agreed.

and so.

After the call connected, the two reached an agreement without much conversation.

Immediately afterward, the governor of Maryland contacted the state police and the National Guard to assist Ding Ze and ensure that he could reach the NSA headquarters in Fort Meade.

In this respect, one has to admit that America, with its capitalism, is indeed a very good place.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that everything can be traded here is something that many places in the world can't match.

'What a wonderful country,' Ding Ze chuckled to himself.

***************

America is a magical land.

The states and the nation are in a cooperative relationship.

The governor is elected by the people of the state, not appointed by the president, and is not the president's subordinate. Therefore, the governor is not required to obey the president's orders completely.

The power to mobilize the military rests with Washington; the governor has no authority to do so.

The reverse is also true; state police and state armed forces such as the National Guard are subordinate only to the governor.

It is like this.

Medeburg.

The army mobilized by the "Longevity Club" encountered various armed forces mobilized by the governor of Maryland, leading to a rather awkward situation.

Fight?

This fight really threw everything into chaos, almost like a civil war had broken out.

But what about the mission of the [Eternal Life Club] if we don't fight?

The situation is extremely complex, and neither side is taking any rash actions for the time being.

Of course, flame wars were inevitable.

Maryland's armed forces condemned the military's rash use of force, while the military, in turn, accused Maryland of plotting a rebellion.

The two sides were hurling insults at each other, but it seemed that a fight was unlikely to break out anytime soon.

Ding Ze's time was limited; otherwise, he really wanted to stay and watch the excitement.

Not long after, Ding Ze and his group quietly left and headed straight for NSA headquarters.

With the NSA director assassinated, headquarters was naturally in complete chaos.

Naturally, news of the NSA director's assassination had already reached the White House, causing widespread shock.

no way.

The NSA is a very special organization. Since its inception, it has been frantically monitoring all kinds of digital information and has too many secrets in its hands.

to this end.

Remarkably, the White House held only a brief meeting before deciding to send soldiers to retake the NSA.

However, at this time.

Miami.

The governor of Florida appeared before a group of media cameras, his face stern, and announced the decision for Florida's immediate independence!

boom!

And so, this decision was presented to us…

All the media personnel present were completely stunned!

Then, less than a minute later.

The various high-ranking officials in the White House, following suit, were all stunned, hardly believing what they had just heard!

"What the fxxk?"

"Is this guy crazy?"

"How could such a thing happen?"

"..."

**********

In the internet age, information spreads very quickly.

It didn't even take a few minutes.

Chicago, Fox River State Penitentiary.

The two brothers, Michael and Lincoln, heard this astonishing news.

"If I had had the chance, I should have killed him!" Michael said viciously, his hatred for Ding Ze burning within him.

Lincoln heard this, shook his head helplessly, and said nothing.

After all, what can be said?

Both brothers are trapped in this damned prison, and their sentences have been extended to life imprisonment. Unless a miracle occurs, they will never be able to leave here again in their lifetime.

If that's the case, what does it matter to the two brothers how the outside world changes, what Ding Ze does, or anything else?

On the playground.

Still healthy and strong, Westmoreland, holding his tabby cat Marilyn, chuckled and said to the cat in his arms, "I knew that kid was no ordinary person a long time ago, but I underestimated him. I never expected him to do something like this. It's terrifying."

"Meow~~" the tabby cat meowed, as if in response.

Other areas of the playground.

Most of the prisoners who heard the news were excitedly chattering away!

"Well done! Excellent job!!!"

"I knew from the start that Ding Ze was capable of great things!"

"Damn, now I've got something to brag about! I know Ding Ze!"

"Haha, what's that? I almost got killed by Ding Ze back then!"

"Hahaha, bro, is this something to brag about?"

"Of course, don't you think about how many people who dared to mess with that serial killer Ding Ze are still alive!"

"Holy crap!! That actually makes sense!"

"..."

These silly prisoners are really bringing a lot of joy.

*******

Medellín, Colombia.

Pablo Escobar, I was truly shocked.

"That's incredible, they actually did something like that!"

Pablo had always thought he was pretty awesome, but now that he looked at it this way... no, it really wasn't good enough.

Pablo suddenly felt that even becoming the president of Colombia wouldn't mean much.

A real man should be like that madman Ding Ze, constantly causing trouble, each time bigger than the last!!! (End of Chapter)

Chapter 428, The Samaritan, is now online.

Albuquerque.

Presidential candidate Liddell Eaton, who had just returned here that morning, saw the news and was stunned. He couldn't believe that Ding Ze had done such a thing, especially since he hadn't been informed beforehand.

This is troublesome.

Is Florida considering independence at this critical juncture?

This was a huge deal; it almost completely changed the theme of the upcoming election.

Without a doubt, how to handle the problems in Florida will be the most crucial issue going forward.

Then, you should know...

With Florida making such a fuss, what about other states? Will they follow suit?

Liddell Eaton thought to himself, and suddenly felt a headache coming on.
