Chapter 1722
In the afternoon, Hansel and Cami went to visit Penny at the private ward in the hospital. They were apanied by a pair of bodyguards from the
White House.
Nathan was surprised by their visit.
Penny wanted to get off the bed and greet the couple with a curtsy but was stopped by Cami.
“Please drop the formalities, Mrs. Cross. You''re not well and should rest in bed.
Hansel sighed after briefly asking about Penny''s condition. He learned that she had a miscarriage. which resulted in her weak health and severe
psychological trauma
He asked Cami to keep Pennypany and then suggested to Nathan. “Let''s go for a walk.”
Nathanplied, “Sure.”
He followed Hansel to a deserted yard located at the inpatient department. The only people nearby were White House bodyguards in suits.
Obviously, the guards had cordoned off the entire area in order to ensure the safety of their president.
Hansel shared with Nathan how his proposal was turned down at the cab meeting.
Nathan smiled. “What the cab members said are true: I''m too sharp and I don''t settle amicably for anything, indeed. I guess I’m not cut out to join
the cab: I''m meant to be on the battlefield.”
With a wry smile, Hansel responded, “If Clifford bes president, I''m afraid that you won''t be able to keep your position as the General of the
North, let alone step foot into the cab.”
Nathan remarked, “The way his daughter wreaked havoc as she pleased has tarnished his reputation. As a father, he also needs to take responsibility
for his troublemaker son. Implicated by his children''s appalling behavior, his poprity has been going downhilltely. With these problems on his
te, I doubt he will emerge as the next president.”
“With these problems on his te, I doubt he will emerge as the next president
Hansel nodded _in agreement.
“You''re rightthe issues with these
children have exposed many of hiss
shortcoraings. His approval ratings
have taken a dive recently. ~~
Therefore, n to nominatesa
delegate to run against Clifford. Who
krows? We might end up;winning.”
Nathan lifted his head and looked at Hansel in
bewilderment.
ording to precedents, members
aren''t allowed to nominate
representatives from the same
political party-as presidential
candidates in a consecutive mannek.
This is t@avoid always having a
president from the same party,
whick may lead to total domitance
bya single political power.Kaving
exclusive control over the,cab
isn''t always a good thing. There
needs to be buck-passing in politics
to maintain a bnce and not give
rise to a hegemon.Hansel, however,
wants to send a candidate to run for
president?
Though Nathan did not think that was a good idea, he kept his qualms to himself.
Seeing that Nathan stayed silent, Hansel prompted him, “Don''t you want to know who I am nominating to fight against Clifford?"
Nathan asked, “Who?"
Hansel replied, “Zion Lucas. What do you think of him?”
“Experienced and prudent,” Nathan answered while refraining from expressing the rest of hisments.
He felt that the conservative Zion was good as a cab member butcked the audacity and vigor as a president. There was a slim chance he could
win.
A smug look appeared on Hansel''s face. "Haha, I believe that Zion can do it, too. Do remember to get close to him and give him incessant support
during the next presidential election.

Nathan nodded but remained quiet.
Mr. Windsor seems to have made up his decision on this matter. It''s impossible for him to change his mind just because of my differing opinions. Also,
it''d be inappropriate for me toment further on Zion.
Hence, he held back from saying anything.
