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

Chapter 94 Racism? It's all business.

Tom looked at Denise, wondering why she hadn't said anything yesterday.

But Tom held back.

Tom isn't stupid; he's genuinely scared. By telling him this now, Denise is already being very lenient with Tom's behavior.

If I hadn't performed well last night, who knows when Denise would have said anything.

Poor little Tom had already succumbed to Denise's tyranny.

Tom got up, dressed, and told Denise to go to bed, while he made a phone call to check on the situation.

Godfather Vito stated that it was Thomas's matter and that he was merely relaying the message.

Tom called Thomas again, and Thomas stammered on the phone, which made it clear that something serious had happened.

Tom told Thomas to go to the Corleone family's hideout first, and that he would come to find them later.

After a quick rinse, Tom headed to the Corleone family's hideout.

Tom could easily never sleep now.

With improved physical fitness, I can easily stay awake for 24 hours straight.

In addition, with the system refreshing its status daily, theoretically both Tom and Little Tom are perpetual motion machines.

He kept up the habit of sleeping only as an excuse to avoid Dennis's tax audit.

After Tom entered the "prayer room," he saw five people, three of whom he recognized, and two of whom he had never seen before.

Thomas, Godfather Vito, Sonny, with a young woman and a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked worried, and although the young woman was aloof, she could still sense his concern.

Tom immediately recognized the man and woman as the "big trouble" that Vito and Thomas had mentioned.

The middle-aged man has a typical German appearance, and he would not look out of place whether he was on a German street or in the Nazi SS.

In terms of the temperament of a young woman, she is similar to, but not quite, Dani.

Just like when she first met Dani, the young woman also had a coldness about her.

The difference is that Dani's coldness is more like something she developed later in life, a coldness brought about by her life experiences.

The coldness of young women, on the other hand, is pure and innate.

Tom had just entered the room, and before the door was even closed, the woman approached him, pointed at him, and said, "You're the Tom Smith they're talking about, the New York City Councilman?"

Tom nodded, and the woman continued, "My name is Ava Wheeler, and I hope you can help me bring all my Jewish classmates to America!"

The middle-aged man's face darkened, and he said with a hint of reprimand, "Ava, that's incredibly rude."

"Mr. Tom, my name is Kane Wheeler."

"I'm sorry, I apologize to you on behalf of my daughter."

"I spoiled her since she was little."

Ava continued to interrupt, saying, "What's the use of apologizing? I'm here to save people, not to flirt with Mr. Tom!"

"Father, please don't interrupt my conversation with Mr. Tom."

"You may not be able to save more people, so don't stop me from saving more people."

After being scolded, the father also fell silent and stopped talking.

Ava continued, "Please, Mr. Tom, rescue my classmates as soon as possible; they may not be able to hold out for much longer."

"The pressure from the Gestapo on teachers is increasing."

Tom was confused, but he didn't dislike Ava's attitude.

In Tom's eyes, being straightforward with everyone, including himself, is not offensive.

There are always people whose personalities are just like that.

However, showing favoritism and only treating some people who are straightforward deserves to be punished.

Tom asked in return, "Tell me what's going on first, and then I'll decide whether or not to help you."

Ava gave the main introduction, while Kane added details from the side.

First of all, their family are descendants of Friedrich Wöhler, a famous German chemist.

Ava's mother died early, and she excelled in her studies from a young age, gaining admission to the prestigious University of Munich, one of the best universities in Germany.

Ava's teacher was the renowned 1927 Nobel Prize laureate in Chemistry, Heinrich Ottowell.

Hearing this, Tom decided to help Ava.

My ancestors were the founders of organic chemistry, and my teacher was the founder of modern macromolecular organic compounds.

It would be a shame not to recruit someone like that.

Not only Ava, but her Jewish classmate Tom also wanted one.

But if something is too easily obtained, it won't be valued; Tom still needs to use a combination of kindness and severity.

Tom pretended to continue listening.

As a chemistry professor, Heinrich sheltered many Jewish students, protecting them from arrest and persecution.

Influenced by her teacher, Ava also began to help Jewish students and formed friendly relationships with many of them. After the United States declared war on Germany, the Germans' attitude towards Jews became increasingly worse.

Fearing for Ava's safety, Kane sold his possessions, got in touch with Hans, and fled to America.

Even after arriving in America, Ava didn't stop causing trouble, constantly insisting on saving her Jewish classmate.

Kane had no choice but to spend more money to make connections with Godfather Vito and request a meeting with Tom.

The important task of rescuing Jews from Germany, especially scientists, could only be handled by Tom.

Upon hearing this, Sonny asked, "You're not Jewish, so why did you flee to America?"

Thomas replied, "You're not a native German, you wouldn't know."

"Arrest Jews, regardless of their bloodline."

"As long as the synagogue recognizes you as Jewish, officials will send police to arrest you."

"Many synagogue bishops have connections with high-ranking government officials."

Sonny's mouth dropped open, and after a few seconds he said, "According to you, any German can be labeled a Jew at any time?"

Thomas nodded, but Sonny still couldn't imagine it.

Tom, however, already knew the inside story.

The Jews persecuted by the German Empire were only a portion of pure-blooded Jews; the rest were persecuted for their wealth.

It wasn't that all rich people were persecuted; as long as one voluntarily became a lackey of the Nazi leadership, one could obtain a pardon from death.

Historically, several pure-blooded Jewish capitalists were awarded the "Honorary Aryan" medal for their significant contributions to the German government.

It's all about business, not racism.

Kane nodded and said, "You've all seen my daughter's character."

"I was afraid she would be labeled as Jewish, so I took her to America."

After hearing everything, Tom pointed at Ava and said, "I do have the ability to bring your classmate here and settle him in America."

"But why should I help you?"

Ava replied directly, "A transaction is a two-way street. I certainly can't just ask for something without giving anything in return."

"My chemistry skills are good enough. If you can introduce me to a relevant job, I'm willing to pay you."

Tom burst into laughter and asked, "Money? How much money can you make?"

"I earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a month now, do you think I need a few dollars from you?"

Ava continued, "Then what do you need?"

"I'm willing to give anything to save my classmate."

Tom looked at Ava and said like a hungry wolf eyeing meat, "I want you."
