Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Just That Arrogant (5)

“Okay.” Gan Yuan extended her hand to Senator John, “Thank you!”

This word of thanks carried genuine sincerity in her tone.

No matter what the other party’s intentions were, at least it was a good suggestion. After all, she was new to this place. Despite having done a lot of homework these days, her understanding of this country was far inferior to that of John and Dolly.

The media’s noses are always the sharpest, and this time was no exception.

After General Barton released the news of Northwest independence, reporters rushed to Congress immediately, seeking first-hand information.

Seeing Gan Yuan stepping out of the doors of Congress, everyone was a bit surprised, yet they still rushed over to block Senator John.

Gan Yuan was an important figure, but she was merely a presidential candidate. Without getting answers at the Presidential Palace, they naturally turned to the senator, making Senator John a target of all.

“Senator John, how does Congress plan to respond to the news of Northwest independence?”

“Senator John, why hasn’t the President appeared yet? It’s been said that he quietly left the Presidential Palace last night. How does Congress intend to explain this matter?”

“…”

Councilor John raised his hands, signaling everyone to calm down, “Ms. Gan will address this matter shortly.”

Gan Yuan?

The reporters turned to look at Gan Yuan, who had already walked down the steps, hurriedly chasing after her, only to find they were too late.

Gan Yuan’s convoy had already started and left Congress. The reporters had no choice but to return and continue rounding Senator John for answers.

“Senator John, what do you mean by this?”

“Yes, why do you say Ms. Gan will explain to us? What’s the truth behind this matter?”

“There’s a rumor that the President intends to collaborate with General Barton. Is that true?”

“How is Congress planning to respond…”

“…”

“Ladies and gentlemen!” Councilor John spoke again, “We will provide an explanation during the press conference shortly. I have nothing to disclose at the moment, sorry!”

Bodyguards and staff separated the reporters as Councilor John quickly ascended the steps and left by car.

Upstairs.

Old councilor Wilson stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the reporters below. A slight smile appeared on his pale face, and his weathered face instantly showed a web of age-old wrinkles.

“Councilor.” The assistant handed him a coffee, “Do you truly believe she is the Princess?”

“At the time, we only found three bodies, and someone said the Little Princess had already been burned to death… It seems she really survived.” Wilson took a sip of his coffee, “No wonder she seemed familiar to me before; she looks a lot like her mother.”

“Then…” The assistant frowned slightly, “Can she truly handle it?”

Wilson shrugged lightly, “Well, that depends on her abilities. Mobilizing the army? I’m afraid… that’s unlikely!”

The assistant nodded in agreement, “Those guys have always been insatiable. At this point, they will surely watch and wait, and won’t really be willing to send troops. It seems the appearance of this Princess comes at a bad time!”

Currently, F Country is amidst chaos. If this matter is handled well, Gan Yuan will naturally regain the trust and support of the people.

But it’s easier said than done.

In a nation already fragmented, can she, a woman, truly turn the tide?!

The assistant gently shook his head.
