but.

Mark still ate some.

After all, it was invited by Francis Underwood, a striking figure in the House of Representatives. Everyone in Washington knows that Underwood is not such a kind guy.

soon.

The grilled ribs on the table turned into bare bones at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Compare the quantity.

Mark won by a slight advantage.

Francis wiped the corner of his mouth and handed a Ohio newspaper placed next to him to Mark.

"What's this?"

"have a look."

Mark smiled and shook his head before taking the newspaper handed over by Francis.

Enjoy the eyes.

Walker called on loyal Democratic supporters Black voters in Dayton, Ohio last Sunday to help him “restore American social and economic justice.”

Garrett Walker.

Democratic.

The newspaper also said that Walker said to more than a thousand parishioners gathered at the Chailo Baptist Church in Dayton: "My friends, this is the choice you should make in this general election. This choice is related to what kind of country and society we will have!"

Mark moved his eyes away from the newspaper, looked at Francis opposite him with a calm expression: "What do you want me to see this?"

Francis also said lightly: "I accepted Walker's invitation to help you win this election."

Mark didn't speak.

Whoever wins the election or who loses the election does not have much to do with him.

Even if a monkey won the election and sat on the local throne, Mark was still a giant in the FBI.

After a while.

Francis looked at Mark who was not speaking out and said, "After I helped Garrett Walker win the election and sit on the throne, Walker promised to appoint me as Secretary of State in return."

Mark glanced at him and said, "I remember when I first came here with you, you said one thing, don't believe the words of politicians unless they are literally."

Francis nodded.

Mark raised his eyebrows and said, "So are you sure Walker will accept you as Secretary of State after he succeeds?"

"He has no choice, he needs my influence in the House."

"The same is true after being elected, don't forget that it's easier to push Walker's proposal than if you become Secretary of State."

“…he won’t.”

Francis Underwood frowned, although he was already suspicious in his heart.

Which is important, the Secretary of State or the House of Representatives?

It looks like the Secretary of State on the surface.

But it's actually the House of Representatives.

Mark shrugged and continued to look at the newspaper.

The second page is full of Walker's criticism of the current president's exercise policies over the past four years.

The current president said that after re-election, he will continue to promote global anti-terrorism policies. Walker directly accused the terrorist attacks that occurred in the country in the past four years. This policy was caused by this policy.

There are several more.

all in all.

No matter what the current president said, Walker directly accepted the interview and exposed situation and publicly refuted it.

Mark looked at the last page of the newspaper.

A recent poll conducted by the Joint Center for Economic and Political Studies showed that 70 percent of dark-skinned voters expressed support for Walker, a leading leader in the current President seeking re-election...

The situation is a bit subtle.

Mark thought of this in his mind after folding the newspaper.

but……

Don't worry about his bird's affairs.

Mark smiled and said to Francis, "I still don't quite understand what you invited me to?"

Francis returned to his original appearance and said to Mark: "Help us."

Mark blinked his eyes as if he heard a huge joke, "Are you kidding me? I'm a Republican, not a Democratic."

There is a saying that turning sects is the case.

But Mark didn't want to.

The republic itself represents the superstructure, as for democracy?

Although democracy is good, let Mark get mixed with people of all skin colors, Mark would rather choose to become a non-partisan.

The character cannot collapse.

Mark once again reminded himself.

Francis shook his head and smiled, "Mark, if we succeed, we need an ally on our side."

"I am the director of the federal bureau, not the attorney general."

“…You are after Walker is elected.”

“…”

Mark, who was ready to get up and leave, hesitated for a while and sat down again and looked at Francis silently.

There is no doubt that the president enjoys the highest administrative rights and has the right to appoint and remove officials.

but……

"Why?"

"You are my friend."

"I am a friend of many people and have no intention of offending Francis."

"You have enough qualifications, and you can quickly resolve any terrorist attacks or major cases. New York State under your office is much more stable than other states."

"Haha, thank you for the praise, but I'll forget it."

"……Why?"

"I like New York, and the climate here in Washington is a bit unfit for me, and you can get this, that should know that I'm already semi-retired after being a New York State Bureau."

"But your name is enough to intimidate them."

Mark smiled and shook his head and looked at Francis and said, "That's because I'm only staying in one place. If they don't mess with me, I won't go to them. This is what you often say about compromise."

Francis: "…"

Francis's temptation disappeared helplessly after Mark's jokes...

Night falls.

Mark sat on the sofa and watched a talent show inside the TV.

Kate was cooking in the kitchen.

Although Mark's eyes were on TV, he was absent-minded.

Attorney General?

FBI branch office?

There is no doubt about this problem.

Does Mark want to become a heir to the presidency?

think.

But it's just thinking about it.

He handed the Attorney General's throne to his arms, Mark would not ask for it.

Not to mention that this is just a hypothesis.

Let’s talk about it again.

Although the position of the Attorney General is good, the more uneasy an old man is always as upset as he is.

An attorney general is at any time a careless attorney can become a scapegoat.

This is the case in the world of origin.
