UN officials weren’t interested in this news. They just hoped Bernard Ayno’s money would arrive soon.
Two hundred million US dollars may not be enough for a federal government employee to buy a year’s worth of coffee, but for the United Nations, it is a huge sum of money.
The UN’s reputation has been in decline lately. Forget generating revenue; they can’t even collect dues. Funding is constantly tight, and they’re constantly being slapped down by the US. Now someone is offering $200 million for free. Isn’t that a pipe dream? France’s annual contribution to the UN is only $130 million.
Therefore, UN officials enthusiastically and actively handled the entire donation process, including handing over large checks, taking photos, expressing gratitude, and taking group photos.
After a series of procedures were completed, the UN official said enthusiastically, “Thank you, Mr. Bernard Ayno, for all you have done for the counterterrorism cause. Now, may Mr. Ayno deliver his speech.”
At the warm invitation of UN officials, Bernard Ayno took the microphone and said to countless media reporters with a smile, “I am very honored to have the opportunity to come to the United Nations and contribute to the global fight against terrorism.”
He paused, glanced at the reporters, and then continued, “As we all know, a few days ago, a world-shaking terrorist attack nearly occurred on White Horse Island. Fortunately, at the most critical moment, I bribed the terrorist leader with money, thus preventing the tragic deaths of myself, my wife, Miss Sweet, and hundreds of guests and employees.”
“I used to think our lives were far from terrorist attacks, but after this incident, I realized that danger lurks around each of us!”
This world isn’t just about terrorist attacks in certain areas. Even in remote areas, there are still people harboring evil intentions and lurking to harm others!
“So, I came here today, appearing in public in a prestigious manner, hoping that through this donation, I can personally step into the forefront of the fight against terrorism.”
At that moment, Bernard Elno shouted angrily, “In fact, many people have asked me, ‘You chose to confront terrorists and their supporters head-on. Aren’t you afraid of being slandered, retaliated against, or even killed?’”
Everyone in the audience smiled for a moment. They were all members of the media, and they all knew that Bernard Elno was mocking and satirizing the US government’s defamation. This guy is truly clever. It doesn’t matter if you slander me. I will immediately classify your slander as revenge from terrorist supporters, and this time I will trample you underfoot.
At that moment, Bernard Erno waved his hand and shouted with a stern face: “I want to say, I’m not afraid! I’m not afraid of anything! In the past, I might have been timid, afraid of affecting my career development and negatively impacting the group, but now, I no longer prioritize personal and group interests!
Because on White Horse Island, I had already died once. From that day on, every day I lived was a gift from God! So what else did I have to fear? I just wanted to stand up bravely! Bravely, say no to the filth of this world! Even if they brandished knives, guns, sticks, and clubs at me, even if I were to be torn to pieces, I would not hesitate!
His passionate speech and true words shocked the journalists present!
Except for the American journalists who felt a little jealous and uncomfortable, the other journalists started clapping enthusiastically.
Bernard Arnault’s statement is absolutely true. He had the courage to declare before the world’s media that he was not afraid of revenge killings by terrorists. This courage is truly unmatched.
In essence, Bernard Elno could be considered one of the smartest little losers in the world. If the masterminds behind White Horse Island were extremists in the Middle East, even if Charlie had asked him to gain experience, he wouldn’t have dared to be arrogant, as those people would likely launch various extreme attacks on him in retaliation. The rejuvenation pill was good, but you had to be alive to take it!
But coincidentally, the masterminds behind the White Horse Island incident were the accursed United States, Blackwater, and the hopeless Syrian opposition.
And Bernard Arnault did not join the Syrian opposition, but instead fired at the United States and Blackwater.
Because even though they’re shameless, at least they’re still within the framework of the normal world. They’ll never dare to kill me again in this environment. The only thing they can do is destroy my business. Wouldn’t that help me gain experience?
So Bernard Arnault can act with impunity and treat America and Blackwater as soft persimmons to be exploited.
The applause from the audience lasted at least two or three minutes.
After the applause finally subsided, Bernard Elno faced the camera with a stern expression and said, “Just now, before I went on stage, I heard something. The American media seems to be digging up some of my past experiences and exaggerating them. I don’t want to explain anything here. After all, businesspeople tend to have unconventional operating methods, and no one is immune to that.”
After that, he sneered, “However, given the current planned and deliberate slander campaign by the American media, I have completely lost confidence in the American market environment. Therefore, I declare that all of my group’s brand stores in the United States will officially cease operations after midnight tonight! If the American government and the American media want me to choose between silence or withdrawal, then I choose to withdrawal!”
