Ye Zi felt relieved, very relieved, because his money had returned.
Before the negotiations even began, Bald Eagle returned $30 billion of principal to Guimenguan, of which $1 billion belonged to Ye Zi.
The money had already been transferred to Ye Zi's account.
Of the $150 billion in compensation paid out this time, $5 billion belonged to Ye Zi. After being converted into Chinese Yuan, the amount received was over $30 billion.
He is now a genuine billionaire.
Moreover, this amount of money is enough for Ye Zi's descendants to live comfortably for generations to come, which is really great.
As the couple lay in bed checking their bank account, Tongtong suddenly said:
"I have a feeling that I don't want to work hard."
"Then let's not work hard, our family isn't short of money," Ye Zi said with a grin.
Neither Ye Zi nor Tong Tong expected that making money would be so easy after joining the Ghost Gate. In such a short time, they have already accumulated a net worth of over 30 billion.
However, to be fair, the others at the Gates of Hell were nowhere near as wealthy as Ye Zi, and by a significant margin.
Xiao Toumian is actually quite wealthy. He made a lot of money from two off-the-books betting schemes, and his net worth has exceeded one billion, but he has almost no way to spend it.
This was because he originally went on missions more frequently and received more bonuses.
Tu Fu, a heavy drinker, rarely goes on missions. He gives most of his earnings to his children and buys the rest of his alcohol. He made a little money from these two gambling operations, around tens of millions.
The other people's net worth was similar to Tu Fu's, and the Wu brothers even split the prize money equally, as did Dali and his two companions.
Although their net worth is in the tens of millions, there is still a difference between tens of millions and tens of millions.
The poorest was Liu Huinan. This guy dealt with paranormal events, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was forbidden for spirits to become sentient, so he went on the fewest missions and didn't get much reward money, so he was naturally poor.
"But if I don't work, am I just supposed to stay home every day? That would be so boring," Tongtong said, distressed.
"When there's a role, I film; when there's no role, I go to the studio. If there's nothing to do at the studio, I stay at home. If I'm bored at home, I meet up with some friends."
You can do anything, it depends on what you want to do.
If all else fails, we can have a few kids and have some fun.
Ye Zi's words made Tongtong's eyes light up. It was indeed possible to have a few children to play with, and while she was still young, it would be easier to recover.
Moreover, Tongtong has been pressured to have a child more than once. Tongtong's mother is too bored by herself. Most of her peers are playing with their grandchildren, and she also wants to play with her grandchildren. After all, a grandchild is a grandchild too.
Next up is hidden content, the kind that's useless even if you pay for it.
While Ye Zi was living a carefree life and even the Gates of Hell was filled with joy, the Bald Eagle was suffering.
The nuclear threat at the Gates of Hell has been resolved, since the four nuclear weapons revealed at the Gates of Hell have all been dealt with. However, whether there are any hidden nuclear weapons is not a question we need to consider now.
The most important thing right now is to resolve domestic conflicts.
First, two of the four demands from the public—handing over the murderer, not raising taxes, not cutting welfare benefits, and not increasing military spending—have already been met.
The president personally pledged that he would not raise taxes or cut welfare benefits during his years in office.
However, the question of whether to increase military spending needs to be discussed and decided by Congress; he cannot decide this alone.
That's a fact. He dares to make such a promise now, and even without it being public, the army, navy, and air force can force him to step down. After all, he made the promise, and if he steps down and someone else takes over, it has nothing to do with that promise.
But he can't refuse either; if he does, now is the time for him to step down.
So we can only delay and wait until we get through this critical period.
Finally, handing over the murderer is even more difficult because the murderer has not been found at all. There's no evidence whatsoever, not even photos or other clues.
Finding scapegoats is indeed a good idea, but these scapegoats must be selected from the current officials. If it's just a few hitmen, that would be too easy. There are plenty of criminals in the United States; they can be used at will.
The difficulty lies in deciding who should take the blame. If the position isn't high enough, the public won't trust them; if the position is high enough, they can't be easily given up.
Moreover, the U.S. government is now in a difficult position to defend itself, as all existing evidence points to them staging a nuclear debt collection scheme.
As the saying goes, even mud that falls into your crotch, if it's not shit, it's still shit.
No, the bald eagle government is in an even worse situation now. Nobody doubts that it's mud; everyone agrees that it's shit, and it must be shit.
Because the public has long been dissatisfied with the annual increase in military spending, no one wants to miss such a good opportunity.
As long as military spending doesn't increase, taxes won't rise, and welfare benefits won't be cut.
Therefore, it must be shit.
The government is now in a difficult position. It has just paid out a large sum of money and is short of funds. It hasn't had time to recover its losses and now it needs to find a scapegoat.
In the end, the one who survived the escape trio had to take the blame, because after taking office, he also gained power, and recently a sum of money appeared in his account.
Moreover, his initial involvement in the negotiations implied a connection to the matter, suggesting he might be assassinated.
Simply put, he's already been pushed out once, and there aren't many people who really care about pushing him out a second time.
So this gentleman became the scapegoat.
The reason given was that he had unexpectedly acquired a batch of nuclear bombs, which he sold to a newly emerging armed force. However, when the other party came to collect the bombs, they were unable to transport them out. He had taken the money but refused to return it.
So they directly used nuclear weapons as a threat to collect the debt.
Moreover, those videos and the whistleblowers were all created by leaders of emerging forces.
The man was eventually arrested on charges of trafficking in nuclear weapons.
Finally, he explained that the reason those political figures were killed was because they discovered he was selling nuclear weapons, and he was afraid of being exposed, so he sent people to kill them.
Although this explanation is full of loopholes, what the public wants is the government's attitude, not the truth.
The public's focus is on military spending. As long as military spending is not increased, taxes are not raised, and welfare benefits are not cut, that's enough.
Who cares why a politician steps down?
Although the issue of military spending has not been resolved, the government has basically met the people's demands. What follows is a protracted battle.
The government will drag out the time, hold various discussions, and make statements to the public, indicating that they are addressing the issues that the public cares about.
As people's patience waned, fewer and fewer people participated in marches and rallies, continuing to follow the news through the internet and television.
The Bald Eagle government's plan is to simply tough it out and get through this.
The bald eagles are indeed having a meeting, but what they're really discussing is how to recover their losses.
The strategy has been in place for a long time: print US dollars and distribute them. The key is where to distribute them and which country or region's interests to sacrifice.
There's a trick to it. First, the country must be weak, because only a weak country wouldn't dare to resist the bald eagle.
Secondly, this country has a certain economic strength; how can it recover without money?
