After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the last century, the United States became the only superpower in the world. The developed United States was known as the banner of a "free country" in terms of economic, military, cultural and political aspects, and every ordinary American also believes so.

In the 21st century, the world has entered the information age. Relying on the power of technology, the United States' national strength has been further enhanced. This can be seen from the wealth that the United States has, most of the rich people in the world are Americans, which does not include those consortiums, companies, etc. with assets of more than tens of billions of yuan.

The most famous rich man is of course Bill Gates, who once occupied the world's richest man. Bill Gates took a break from school in the middle of college and founded Microsoft with his friends, thus becoming the world's richest man from an ordinary young man. His legendary experience is admired by countless young people and regarded as idols. But in fact, although the names of these so-called rich people are high on the list of rich people, a very few people know that the real rich people, or those who can truly control the most spire in the country, are invisible in front of the world.

Raymond Anthony is such a hidden person. Few people in the outside world know that he exists, but in the eyes of some people, Raymond Anthony is undoubtedly a "big figure". In the United States, the US president is of course a big figure. Don't forget that the president has a term of office. After the term of office, the US president becomes a "former president", and his influence is limited to a very small range. Moreover, during the term of office, as the US president, as the US president, is not at will, and can decide everything by himself, because each president often has a huge think tank behind him, including consultants and experts from all aspects. In many aspects, the decisions or orders issued in the name of the US president are all from these advisers behind him. From this point of view, the US president is just a representative on the table.

But Raymond Anthony is different. His influence is so great that ordinary rich people can't compare to. Whether it is the two major parties that take turns to rule or other forces, the Anthony family's control relationship is complicated. His power has long been spread everywhere for a century. It can not only influence the changes in the political situation in the United States, but also directly affect the decisions of the current president through means.

As for wealth, the Anthony family is even richer than the country, and the number of wealth in their hands is far from comparable to those of the nominal richest people. Raymond Anthony, 70 years old this year, is the head of the Anthony family, and is also a well-deserved leader. He is one of the few people standing at the top of the pyramid.

In the suburbs of Little Rock, there is a ranch that few people know about, which is Raymond Anthony's residence. The ranch is not large in size, and it seems much smaller than those large ranchs that cover a vast area. At the same time, because its geographical location is relatively remote, not many people will pay attention to it.

Wearing a cowboy hat, Raymond Anthony rode his horse on his ranch as usual. After the horse, his beloved dog Damon followed behind and ran happily with his tongue sticking out. It seemed that Raymond, who was exercising outdoors all year round and had a little dark skin, was like an ordinary old cowboy. No one would know that this inconspicuous old man actually had the power to influence the entire United States.

After an hour of exercise, Raymond Anthony personally led the horse into the stable, unloaded the saddle, and scrubbed all the work meticulously. After finishing this, he patted the horse's back with a smile, greeted himself, his "old companion", and then stepped out of the stable.

Not far from the stable is Raymond Anthony's home, a small western-style building with a look similar to that of ordinary Americans. However, when you walk inside, you can see the difference. Not only is the high-tech facilities in the house extremely complete, but there are also very cutting-edge defense settings inside and outside the house. If uninvited guests enter the ranch, they can be discovered at the first time. A team of guards stationed only 20 meters away from this will immediately respond quickly.

"Sir, the tea is ready."

The old housekeeper stood at the door with a smile to greet Raymond Anthony's return, and said softly.

"Thank you, Brooke." Raymond Anthony nodded to the old housekeeper with a smile.

"This is what I should do, sir." Brooke replied with a smile, although these words had been repeated countless times between them, since he came here 20 years ago until today, in Brooke's eyes, Raymond Anthony is an absolute gentleman.

He handed Damon to Brooke, Raymond Anthony took off his cowboy hat and walked into the room. The black tea he had just made was placed in front of the wooden chair he was used to sitting, with several newspapers next to it.

Hanging the cowboy hat to the wall, Raymond Anthony sat down in a wooden chair, picked up the black tea and drank it, raised his eyebrows and nodded slightly, as if he was appreciating Brooke's good skills, and then took a newspaper and flipped through it.

The newspapers are nothing more than Wall Street market, government decisions, or car accidents, shootings, and riots and even wars in a certain country and place abroad. Raymond Anthony reads carefully and chuckles when he sees interesting places.

Turning to the back, there was a crossword game in the newspaper. Raymond Anthony even took a pen and played crossword game with interest. This habit was developed when he was young and has not changed over the years.

Just as Raymond Anthony filled in a few words with enthusiasm, the slight vibration of his wrist made him stop the movement in his hand, and glanced at the special watch on his wrist. Raymond Anthony stood up and went upstairs directly.

When he arrived at the third floor, he pressed his palm against a wall, and soon there was a reaction on the wall, and a window-sized scanning device was exposed on the wall. Raymond Anthony put his head over and waited for the iris to complete the scanning of the wall, and the entire wall quietly moved away to the side.

Behind the wall was a small room, which was the most important place for Raymond Anthony. Apart from him, even the old butler Brooke had no authority to come in. When he walked into the room, the wall behind him was closed at the same time. If he didn't know that there was a room here, it would be hard to find with the naked eye that the wall would be an alloy door that could not be exploded without explosives.

"Agent Garen?"

Sitting down on a chair, the screen in front of him lit up, and Garen's figure soon appeared in front of Raymond Anthony.

"Mr. Anthony." Galen said with a flattering smile.

"What's the matter in such a hurry to find me?" Raymond Anthony asked calmly.

"It's good news." Garen's respectful look was filled with a hint of unconcealed smugness, and he said with a smile: "I have convinced Professor Kevin Adams to serve Zeus."

Raymond Anthony showed a little surprise and continued to ask calmly: "I remember you only talked to him today, and the result will be achieved so soon?"

"You are right." Garen nodded and said, "We actually overestimated Professor Adams. He is just an ordinary scholar. He can solve the problem by giving some benefits to such people."

"Benefit?"

"State, wealth, fame, respectful feelings, plus some sense of mission to save American security and promote the progress of human civilization... Don't you all want this as an aspiring scholar?" Garen explained with a smile.

Raymond Anthony immediately laughed. Garen said rightly, it was indeed like these things that ordinary people yearned for, let alone an ordinary scholar. Previously, Raymond Anthony was more cautious in his persuasion strategy due to the importance of the plan, mainly because of Kevin's inner resistance and his disagreement. Unexpectedly, Garen solved the problem easily. Although he didn't know what Garen made to Kevin and how to convince him specifically, these were not important to Raymond Anthony. What was important was that he saw the desired result.

"Good job!" Raymond Anthony did not hide his praise for Garen, which made Garen happy on the other end of the screen. He knew very well what kind of big shot Raymond Anthony was and could get his appreciation. This was the opportunity that many people dreamed of.

"Please go to the next step, you should understand what to do." Raymond Anthony continued by tapping his fingers on the edge of the table.

"Mr. Anthony, please rest assured that all plans will be made as soon as possible. I will report the progress to you at any time." Galen answered respectfully, and then disappeared from the other end of the screen during the end of Raymond Anthony's call.

After the call was over, the joy on Raymond Anthony's face was obvious. He even felt that he had not been so happy and expectant for a long time, because the cooperation of Professor Kevin Adams finally made his Zeus plan possible, and this Zeus plan would bring unprecedented huge benefits to Raymond Anthony.

This benefit is not an ordinary benefit, but a continuation of his life. Although Raymond Anthony at 70 is in good health, in the words of a doctor, it is possible that he can live to 100 years old. However, as he grows older, Raymond Anthony is very clear that he has not had much time left.

Even if Raymond Anthony has wealth, status and influence that ordinary people cannot achieve, he cannot escape the call of death. In human history, countless emperors have pursued the eternity of life. From the Pharaohs of ancient Egypt to the Qin Shihuang in the far east, each of them wanted to avoid the moment when their life ended, but in the end they turned into a handful of dust in their infinite attachment to power and wealth.

Now, Raymond Anthony also felt the same urgent and hopefulness of these emperors, but no matter how he tried his best to slow down the arrival of this day, it still could not stop the passage of time. However, the appearance of Professor Kevin Adams made him see a glimmer of hope, or the possibility that his life could continue.
