The news that Mr. Jieluno had decided to leave quickly spread.
Those who knew about it did not spread the news any further.
It was as if the President of the Federation also knew about it. However, he did not contact anyone or ask them to find a way to keep Mr. Jieluno and the other direct members of the Duncan Family within the Federation. Instead, he tacitly accepted the fact that they intended to leave.
Emotionally speaking, it was obvious that keeping them here would have better suited the President's own wishes.
After being put through the wringer by Mr. Jieluno for so long, he not only had no chance of being reelected, but might even be driven from office before his term ended.
He should have kept the Duncan Family members here and investigated them thoroughly. By then, quite a few people might have ended up on the gallows or taken a bullet.
But he had not done so. Politically speaking, letting them escape was the best choice.
As long as the Duncan Family left, many messes could be pinned on them.
At the same time, this could cover up some deeper problems. For example, what if the Duncan Family were really arrested and revealed even more unknown information? Given the Duncan Family's ability to infiltrate the Federal Government, the Federal Government had long ago become as defenseless against them as a sieve.
Under such circumstances, there might still be many even more frightening revelations that had yet to come to light.
For example, the President had once accepted Political Donations from the Duncan Family. Of course, it had not been a particularly large amount, merely symbolic.
He had accepted them, but what about everyone else? Had the upper echelons of both parties had deeper dealings with them?
