The Chicago mayor's anger was certainly reasonable and expected. With the election just around the corner, this capable mayor had a strong chance of re-election! Jerome's sale of The Magniient to the Morgan family would generate significant tax revenue annually, a considerable bright spot in the bleak economic climate of the United States, and his biggest asset in his bid for re-election.

Moreover, Morgan had promised him a massive amount of campaign funds and a strong campaign presence. This made things even more secure! Mayor Jerome had even started sitting in his office fantasizing that if he were to win another re-election in Chicago and accomplish something truly significant, he would have the confidence to move up the ranks in the next election.

However, all of this has now almost vanished.

Because his greatest achievement in office was the mass strike, a strike that happened without warning, without even informing the government beforehand—it was practically a spontaneous trip! Mayor Jerome felt like he had been dealt a critical hit.

The injured Jerome said that the damage points were too high for him to bear, so he wanted to find someone to share the burden and put the big black pot on the head of the bigger one so that he could stay out of it and avoid any consequences.

Then he chose Morgan.

Because Morgan had the biggest head and was also considered one of the culprits, everyone was an "accomplice" in this matter! Mayor Jerome, who considered himself "coerced into committing the crime," felt that the blame should fall on Morgan, the "main culprit"...

Truly a professional elite bureaucrat!

Jerome sat smiling in his office chair, sipping his coffee, pondering whether or not to invite his secretary, who had made such a great contribution, to dinner that evening.

Perhaps it's more than just dinner...

Wall Street. Morgan Stanley.

This is a magnificent building, known in financial circles as "Morgan Stanley." Morgan Stanley is a leading global financial services company, offering a wide range of financial services including securities, asset management, mergers and acquisitions, and credit cards. It currently has offices in over 600 cities across 27 countries and employs more than 50,000 people.

It is one of the top five investment banks on Wall Street.

Flander sat behind a black desk, with a huge glass wall behind him, through which a forest of tall buildings stretched out. Flander sat there like a king who owned the world.

This was also the part of the building that Flanders was most satisfied with. When he commissioned a designer to redesign his office, his aim was to emphasize authority and power, and this design was simple and practical, so he immediately fell in love with it. The young designer also gained considerable fame as a result.

But Flander looked extremely haggard today. His face was ashen, because he had just received news that The Magniient had completely shut down! When Flander heard the news, it felt like a thunderbolt had exploded in his mind. This was the most bustling and central mile of downtown Chicago—everyone knows how big of a deal that was!

It's even more powerful than an earthquake!

The mayor of Chicago just called me personally, telling me to resolve the situation quickly and do my utmost to restore order to the city as soon as possible, so as not to disrupt the normal lives of Chicago residents.

What do you mean by "don't disrupt the normal lives of Chicago residents"? What you really mean is don't disrupt your election, you bastard! We're all accomplices, why should I, Morgan, have to shoulder this huge burden alone? When we were getting the benefits, we worked harder than anyone else, but now that there's a problem, we're the ones running away faster than anyone else.

“Those damned politicians,” Flanders cursed loudly, “they all deserve to go to hell!”

Morgan's move this time was quite significant. The acquisition of The Magniient was his crowning achievement; even Flander privately considered it the most successful deal he'd made since taking control of the family business, believing it greatly solidified his position. Therefore, he chose to contact the media, publicizing the event through their mouths, wanting to showcase his success to the world, especially to the global elite.

He wanted to herald the arrival of a new Morgan era, a Morgan era led by him.

But all of this came to naught.

The collective strike by The Magniient was practically a resounding slap in the face to him in front of the entire world. Thanks to him, the Morgan family's acquisition of The Magniient became known worldwide. However, now that this has happened, it's foreseeable that the media outlets he contacted will not hesitate to spread the news relentlessly, regardless of past "friendship."

Front-page headline, exclusive prime-time broadcast.

The news of The Magniient fans' strike against Morgan is far more sensational than Morgan's acquisition of The Magniient!

The glory they enjoyed in the past is the amount of ridicule they will face today.

If you dare to show off, you must dare to lose!

When Morgan acquired The Magniient, nobody knew who the street's original owner was. But this time, with The Magniient's strike, the whole world knows who they're fighting for!
