BUILDING A GAMING EMPIRE FROM SCRATCH

Chapter 1336: Chapter 1198: A Bloodbath Caused by a Floppy Disk Chapter 1336: Chapter 1198: A Bloodbath Caused by a Floppy Disk “`

At first, the governor was filled with covetous desire for that floppy disk.

After all, Lincoln was their guest, and they had arranged the banquet, along with the most important—

this was their territory.

So after communicating with a few core executives and reaching a consensus, he decisively chose to act.

Of course, California was their territory; for this reason, their methods were somewhat milder—they simply used a bomb threat to ground the plane, intending to keep the floppy disk in California and slowly devise a plan for it later.

But things quickly spiraled out of control.

First, there was a strange gunfight—

On the surface, it seemed like a homeless man disgruntled with being driven out of downtown took revenge.

But, could a real homeless man dual-wield AR-15 rifles, single-handedly suppress 5 police cars and 11 officers, kill 4 people and wound 2, then escape, using a hand grenade trap to kill one more on the run and scare the remaining officers so badly that they didn’t dare pursue him any longer?

Well, it is possible indeed.

America is not without special forces veterans who have seen the battlefield and ended up homeless.

But…

If you’re homeless, where on earth do you pull out two fully equipped, brand new AR-15 automatic rifles, and even hand grenades that are under strict control?

And afterwards, vanish without a trace?

Does everyone look like a fool to you?!

The problem was, without catching the person, they could not confirm whose side he was on; they could only infer from the massacre and the blocking of state police that the target was also the floppy disk, and thus, such explosive methods were used to intercept the reinforcements.

—Intercepting state police was likely a secondary objective, the primary being to demonstrate power and warn them to abandon any designs on the floppy disk.

This was indeed a bit scary.

If it hadn’t been for his body found in an alley three hours later.

And this was just the beginning.

Because in one day, thirteen incidents occurred that prevented airplanes from taking off—all to stop the floppy disk from being loaded onto a plane, multiple forces caused absolute chaos, almost paralyzing Sacramento Airport.

Afterward, the factions finally abandoned the idea of using a plane to solve everything once and for all—perhaps for fear someone would recklessly destroy the plane, resulting in the complete destruction of the floppy disk; in any case, the strife then took place on the ground.

But unexpected deaths and bleeding incidents also began to explosively increase!

Initially, the chaos was confined to the vicinity of the floppy disk, but even places far from the floppy disk started to experience violent conflicts.

In less than 24 hours, the situation had completely spiraled out of control.

The floppy disk quickly went from “a heavenly surprise” to a source of pandemonium.

Even they were unclear as to how many sides were involved in the battle royale—because the participants were too diverse, with some whose identities were impossible to discern.

This was not a reflection of their lack of ability; even the Central Intelligence Agency was bewildered by this chaos.

So when they learned that the floppy disk had been transported out of California and swiftly caused a gunfight in Arizona, resulting in three deaths and six injuries, the governor finally took a deep breath.

—Forget it, let others enjoy such a dangerous bounty.

It’s better to focus on what’s visible and right in front of them.

The governor calmed himself and convened his brain trust to discuss matters about the Ministry of Commerce’s cooperation with Cloud Dream.

And thus, the floppy disk left America’s West Coast and entered the interior, continuing eastward, attracting countless ambitious eyes—leaving a trail of chaos and death in its wake.

As the body count rose, the floppy disk’s importance in the eyes of outsiders soared, making it even more alluring!

Consequently, the conflicts intensified.

“I’ve always heard that America is chaotic, but in the past few days as we’ve been wandering around, we haven’t encountered any dangerous situations, so I thought the rumors on the internet were exaggerated and not entirely credible,” Lincoln said, glued to the television in a luxurious suite at the top of a five-star hotel while expressing his shock to Camille Victoria and Mavis.

“`

On TV, a reporter was broadcasting live from a helicopter, and on the highway below, a gunfight chase scene reminiscent of a movie was unfolding.

Although the reporter was afraid of dying and didn’t dare lower the helicopter, making it impossible to see close-ups, the photographer’s hands were incredibly steady.

Even from a distance, they managed to keep both parties in the center of the screen.

This allowed all the viewers to clearly see the battle and even catch glimpses of the criminals leaning out the car window and spraying bullets at the police cars behind them, with the muzzle flashes clearly visible.

Clearly, the photographer was highly skilled, and this was not their first time doing something like this.

Lincoln clapped his hands lightly in admiration while continuing to say, “But now, it seems there’s no smoke without fire, and the lives of the citizens of America are indeed full of variety.”

“To encounter a gunfight on the way to work is just too thrilling.”

The Little Princess frowned slightly, “This is…

too unsafe.”

“I couldn’t agree more,” Lincoln nodded in agreement.

Only Mavis’s curiosity suddenly peaked, with specks of golden light rushing through her pupils as she tried to trace the origins and understand what was happening.

Initially, Mavis thought it would be easy.

Maybe it was just a bank robbery or terrorists being chased by the authorities, something she had seen a lot of in the movies and was very familiar with.

But to Mavis’s surprise, the first wave of searches came back fruitless—there was no reliable information available on the public Internet.

Neither the enthusiastic citizens nor the media groups with far-reaching connections had accurate intelligence on the matter.

There was even a force deleting topics and lowering the profile of the incident, intentionally suppressing its influence.

This made Mavis even more interested!

If she couldn’t find anything on the public Internet, it was time to dig deeper!

At this point, not only were there streams of data in Mavis’s pupils, but her eyes began to emit light as well.

Lincoln and the Little Princess noticed this and looked over.

After Mavis took this step, in less than a minute, she roughly understood the situation, then blinked her eyes and looked at Lincoln.

“?” Lincoln was stunned, “Why are you looking at me?”

“This.” Mavis pointed at the TV, “It’s related to you, Master.”

“Huh?” Lincoln was shocked.

“They’re fighting among themselves, what does it have to do with me?”

Mavis then explained the situation to Lincoln and the Little Princess—she had a basic understanding of what was happening, but she couldn’t specify which individuals or which forces were involved in the struggle for the floppy disk.

To get the full picture, she would need to mobilize more substantial computational resources, break through more secure firewalls, and continue digging deeper.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t do it, but that would require Lincoln’s permission.

And Lincoln… was a bit confused—

“I mean, it was just a prank, are you serious?!”

In his view, handing the floppy disk to Bree meant handing it over to the American authorities—after all, this group could report directly to the President under special circumstances.

Since he volunteered the item, it was definitely a special circumstance, and it would eventually be delivered directly to the President.

When the President gets the floppy disk and opens it, wow!

It would turn out to be same-person fanfiction of himself and his arch-nemesis!

—It’s now the year 2031, and next year is an election year.

Both the President, who is seeking re-election, and his rival, who wants to drag him down, are striving to sway public opinion and are already bitter enemies.

If at this point they saw fanfiction about themselves and their arch-nemesis…

That expression would definitely be priceless!

But Lincoln never expected that the floppy disk hadn’t even reached the President yet!

—Not only had it not been delivered, but…

his own people had started fighting over it?

“You guys are kidding me…” Lincoln was super speechless.

“All this over a piece of fanfiction, seriously?”
