While in America, the system says Roosevelt was an emperor.

Chapter 91 Striving for humanity's ultimate dream!

At noon, after putting the money back at home, Katz dragged his "severely injured" body to the semi-basement.

The former headquarters of the Van Diehl Group.

Inside the semi-basement, several dusty-looking young men were anxiously waiting for something.

After Katz entered, everyone looked at him and asked, "Katz?"

Are you alone?

"Where is Van der Leyen?"

Katz didn't speak, but simply turned his head to the side and lowered his head, avoiding eye contact.

Everyone immediately realized that Van der Ley was probably really dead.

One of the young men, who was closest to Van Diehl, rushed up, grabbed Katz by the collar, and cursed viciously, "It's all your doing!"

"I met you yesterday, and trouble has already happened today."

"You are a sign of the devil from hell!"

Katz was pinned to the ground, taking the blows of his opponent.

The others immediately pulled the two apart and comforted the out-of-control youth.

"Don't be impulsive, Van der's death wasn't because of Katz."

"Can't you see Katz's injuries?"

"It weighs more than all of us combined."

The impulsive young man looked at Katz, who, as he had said, was indeed covered in wounds.

The young man buried his face in his hands and wept, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"I really shouldn't have—"

Afterwards, the two sides exchanged intelligence.

Katz recited the "story" that Tom had arranged for him, portraying Van Diehl as someone who would cover for his brother.

Tom even added a final line for Van Diehl: "Katz, run!"

"Humanity's ultimate dream depends not only on me, but also on you!"

After hearing this, everyone burst into tears, and then recounted their experiences in fits and starts.

After being ganged up on and beaten for a short while, the Snett and Gaslin brothers stepped in and stopped the agitated crowd.

When everyone tried to find Katz and Van der, they discovered that the two had already disappeared.

Little did I know that this farewell would be our last.

Unlike the sadness of others, Katz was left only with fear, fear of Tom.

After a few minutes of silence, the oldest youth said, "Gentlemen, Van Diehl's life has ended."

"But his spirit lives on."

"The name of the Van Diehl Group will prove the continuation of his spirit."

The older young man then changed the subject, saying, "But now, there is a reality we have to face."

"Who will lead our group next?"

The older young man was full of expectations. He considered himself a senior member of the group, and this position was rightfully his.

Even the oldest youth are still young, and who wouldn't want to be the backbone of others' hearts?

But things didn't go as planned; instead, everyone looked at Katz.

Although Katz was involved in Van der's death.

Van der wouldn't have died if it weren't for covering Katz.

But after thinking about it, everyone subconsciously felt that Katz was the most suitable person to be the new team leader.

On the one hand, Katz's decisiveness and his concern for everyone in the morning were genuine;

On the other hand, the fact that Van der Erd is willing to die for Katz shows that Katz must be trustworthy.

A young man raised his hand and said, "I choose Katz. He is the best successor to Van Diehl."

"Me too."

Count me in.

J

Me too.

""

"6

""

Almost all of the dozen or so people supported Katz becoming the new group leader.

The older young man couldn't believe that he couldn't compete with a newcomer.

Even Katz couldn't believe that he had become the group leader so easily.

He was elected with almost a unanimous vote.

Is it really because of my strong personal charisma?

Or is it that Tom's own "personal charisma" is stronger in his script?

There was no time for Katz to think it over. He made a quick decision, saying that he was willing to take the seat, and following Tom's script, he firmly stated: "Vandil's death has taught us that we should not be too impulsive in direct confrontation."

"I will lead everyone to find a gentler, more practical and feasible path."

"Strive for humanity's ultimate dream!"

Everyone echoed in unison, "Let's fight for humanity's ultimate dream!"

After calling out the number □, Katz left the semi-basement under the pretext of conducting a site visit.

Katz went home, changed his clothes, and dressed himself up properly before arriving at the hotel where Tom was staying.

When they knocked on Tom's suite door, Totti answered.

Totti's voice was deep and hoarse as he said directly, "Come in quickly, Boss Tom is waiting for you."

Katz entered the room; Tom was sitting on the sofa, reading today's Detroit Daily.

The events of this morning were reported with urgency.

I heard from people at the newspaper that the editor-in-chief seems to have gone mad.

They'd rather destroy the already printed product than not have Nate's death on the front page.

Tom put down his newspaper, patted Katz on the shoulder, and said, "Come with me somewhere later, but you can't show your face on the way."

After saying that, he tossed out a tactical mask.

Katz was sensible and didn't ask when the money would arrive. He obediently followed Tom out of the hotel.

As the car drove toward the heart of the American Steel—Detroit plant area, Katz recognized Tom as the man who was taking him into the office building.

After entering the office building, everyone went straight to the conference room.

Inside the meeting room, Carnegie Morgan led the applause, welcoming Tom and his group.

Carnegie waited until Tom was seated, then gestured with his hands to stop the applause.

Carnegie complimented, "Mr. Tom truly deserves to be called America's youngest city councilor."

"Only two people were killed, no, that's not right."

"It should be said that without killing a single person, the problem of engineers refusing to work was solved."

"Divide, transfer, suppress, and win over —"

"Your methods are simply unbelievable and unprecedented."

"But the results are truly remarkable. By noon today, almost everyone has returned to work."

Tom waved his hand, interrupting, "I've said it before, I don't like nonsense."

"If I have to say it a third time, I promise you."

"No one can save you, not even JP Morgan crawling out of his coffin."

"That won't work either."

Tom hates people who flatter him with empty words, and he hates even more people who make him repeat the same things, especially when they know his abilities.

Of course, the above three points are exceptions for Slaanesh.

Carnegie chuckled awkwardly a few times, then said, "I'm used to it, I'm used to it."

"Here, let Mr. Tom see the contract we've prepared."

The contract was submitted; Party A was Qiangsheng Engineering Company, and Party B was the Detroit branch of American Steel Company.

The price is the normal market price, but there is no priority purchasing right as Tom mentioned.

Tom frowned slightly and raised two questions, saying, "Why is the priority purchasing right I mentioned gone?"

Carnegie quickly explained, "You must understand our predicament. Who knows what will happen after you leave?"

"What if the engineer refuses to work again tomorrow? What should we do then?"

"If you're not the one to resolve the next work refusal, do you think you should still be given priority in purchasing?"
