Chapter 1453: Out of Control

“You are?”

Mike Pence looked at the two men in suits in front of his door and frowned. He just went out to walk his dog, then was about to take a shower and go to bed when the doorbell rang before he could step into the shower.

The first impression of the two men told him that the two were probably political brokers or the like. When he was governor before, he received business cards from this kind of people almost every few days.

But since he came to Capital, the situation stopped.

Although he rose higher in terms of position, everyone knew that the Vice President of the UA was a mascot.

“Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Eugene Eric. This is my assistant, Kayn Jay.” Eric introduced himself politely and handed over his business card. “Please accept my card.”

After Pence took the business card and glanced at it for a second, he slipped it into his pocket and said with his eyebrows furrowed.

“Oh, then Mr. Eric, may I ask why you’re here?”

“In short, we are from K Street and want to talk to you about work.” Eric smiled politely.

“K Street?” As if he had heard something funny, Pence chuckled, “Then you are probably looking for the wrong person. Didn’t your boss tell you that congress members are probably more reliable than the vice president?”

Eric and his partner Jay looked at each other, smiled, and then looked back at Pence.

“We are more willing to call you the future president than the vice president.”

Pence’s frown grew deeper. As soon as he was about to say something, Eric spoke first.

“Don’t you want to invite us in and sit down for a talk?” Eric asked.

Pence was taken aback for a moment, then returned to normal, and said in a relaxed tone.

“Of course, I’m planning to do that now.”

After the two went in, Pence asked his wife to prepare a glass of orange juice for each of them, and then he took a glass of water and sat on the sofa in the living room. When his wife went upstairs to sleep, Pence asked immediately.

“Are you going to impeach Trump soon?”

“…you can think that, but I didn’t say anything,” Eric smiled.

“You can’t succeed,” Pence leaned back on the sofa, said with a smile, “You want to impeach the president. You don’t have any chance until he does anything indignant.”

In the impeachment process, the Judicial Committee of the House of Representatives had to first review the allegations and evidence materials to determine whether there was a basis for starting a formal impeachment investigation. If the impeachment process did start, the House of Representatives would only need a majority vote to approve the terms of impeachment and then send it to the Senate. But in the Senate, a two-thirds majority was needed to convict the impeached. If the object of impeachment was the president, the Senate trial had to be presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

If an impeachment case was initiated, both the House of Representatives and the Supreme Court would have to be involved. From the number of steps involved, it was easy to see the difficulty to impeach the president. Even if Wall Street possessed incredible abilities, it was impossible to buy two-thirds of the Senate.

In the history of the UA, Congress had only conducted impeachment investigations on three presidents, but none of them were eventually removed.

“Let’s not talk about whether we have a chance to succeed,” Eric smiled. “We are here to visit you today to talk about what happens after you become the president.”

“After becoming the president?” Pence raised his eyebrows and laughed, “If you can really make me the president.”

“Trust us, of course, we can,” Eric interrupted Pence and nodded seriously, then gave the assistant next to him a look and motioned him to take the contract out of his briefcase.

“This is…” Pence frowned slightly.

“A confidential agreement. As long as both parties fulfill their obligations, no third person will know about this contract.” As Eric said, he turned to the first page of the contract and pointed his finger at one of the terms “If you become the president, then you must maintain a strong attitude during your four-year term, such as on the Columbia issue, such as on the Pacific issue… You should understand what I mean.”

“Of course.” After Pence took a sip of the water in his cup, he put down the glass, picked up the document, and said emotionlessly, “You don’t need to say these things, I know what to do.”

Not only did he know what this sentence meant, but he could probably guess who sent these two people.

According to the analysis of the Wall Street Journal, if the UA did join the Earth Defense Alliance as expected, the North American defense sector would experience the largest contraction of this century. Even the most conservative estimate had a number bigger than Apple’s market value.

Was it difficult to guess who couldn’t sit still any longer?

After he read the document to the last page, on the line of the person who signed, sure enough, he saw a familiar and expected last name.

Morgan…

…

The three-day state visit was over.

At the airport in Coro City, Jiang Chen send Trump to the side of the gangway, and before Trump boarded, they shook hands and said goodbye.

“I wish you a pleasant journey.”

“Haha, thank you,” Trump shook Jiang Chen’s right hand vigorously, and laughed, “Coro City is a good place, and Penglai City too. It’s a pity that I wasn’t able to visit Celestial City this time. If I have the opportunity in the future, I’ll for sure take a look!”

“There are still many opportunities in the future,” Jiang Chen said.

After Jiang Chen sent Trump onto the plane and watched the plane takeoff, he left through the VIP tunnel.

Ayesha waited at the entrance of the tunnel.

“Let the Ghost Agents in North America protect the safety of Trump during this period.”

Ayesha tilted her head, looked at Jiang Chen, and asked.

“Do you think Morgan will do something to him?”

“Those people can do anything, and we have to be careful.” After he deliberated for a moment, he continued, “Well, let Bernice be cautious over there. At least until the negotiation terms take effect, we must make sure he is still alive. And the B City Consortium, tell them about the content of today’s meeting. They know what to do.”

“I’ll go now.” Ayesha nodded seriously.

On the other side, the plane had taken off for a while.

Trump felt bored inside his seat, looked around, and felt a bit thirsty. He whistled to the flight attendant that passed by and revealed his white teeth. He showed what he thought was the most charming smile and asked, “Can you get me a cup of coffee?”

The flight attendant rolled her eyes charmingly, then she walked to the nose of the plane, and soon returned.

“Mr. President, your coffee.”

“Thank you.”

After he took the steaming cup, Trump leaned closer to blow on the coffee, then took a sip.

At this moment, he sniffed and started to frown.

He didn’t know whether it was his illusion or not, but just now, he started to smell something peculiar.

As his frown grew more apparent, he looked around.

The moment his gazed out of the window, the expression on his face suddenly solidified…
