All night, Sam cursed. The men he had demanded from Lance were back. But they were back, hanging on a noose! He didn't know when Lance's people had come to his room, hanging the two men from the attic's spire. Every time the wind blew, they would sway. When the wind was light, there was a soft thump, thump, thump sound; when the wind was strong, it was like a final, soul-striking blow! When the two men were taken down from the house, they were frozen stiff. The sub-zero sea wind wouldn't take long to…-

"Lance is an unreasonable person!" Sam's voice on the phone was full of grievance. "I've already apologized to him and even guaranteed to compensate him for his subordinate's medical expenses, but he still refuses to hand over Lisa." "Sir, I have no foundation here. I can't force him to do anything. Won't this displease Mr. Hoff?" Sam, after being scolded and threatened by Lance, thought long and hard before finally calling the mayor. He knew this would lower his standing in the mayor's eyes, but his…

Chambers of commerce are not uncommon. But not uncommon doesn't necessarily mean they are low-end; a chamber of commerce is not low-end at all. The people in the seats looked at each other, somewhat unsure how to respond. Finally, the oldest gentleman spoke, "Mr. Lance, if we join this chamber of commerce, what can it bring us, and what will we have to give?" "If we don't join the chamber of commerce, will it..." He was very worried, but seeing that Lance didn't seem too difficult to talk to, he voiced…

At six o'clock, the dock still bustled with workers. Some ships arrived at Golden Port in the middle of the night, but they couldn't stay for long, so they unloaded their cargo overnight. Additionally, at night, some docks needed to sort and organize the cargo urgently unloaded during the day. Some might need to be restacked, some might need to be put into warehouses, and some would be directly loaded onto trains and sent off. In short, there was a lot of work to be done in the middle of the night, and…

"The order wasn't delivered?" Sam's tone shifted slightly. "That's impossible, I saw them set off with my own eyes. It can't be undelivered after all this time!" The voice on the other end remained calm and unhurried. "Mr. Sam, do you think I'm lying, or is the boss lying?" This statement could be considered a very stern "accusation." How could important figures like them lie to a pimp? Sam also knew he had spoken incorrectly, and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, sir, it's my mistake. I'll immediately…

The telephone rang twice before being answered. Sam took a deep breath, trying his best not to be so... angry. "Elvin?" He had already inquired; the core of the Lance family was Lance himself, and then below him were the three higher core members: Elvin, Morris, and Hiram. Further down? A large number of senior cadres, but he wasn't interested in that. He just wanted to find Lisa now and have her please Mr. Hoff to solve a series of problems. Elvin's voice sounded very young, which made Sam somewhat…

The bumpy carriage made Lisa curl up in the corner. The dim light prevented her from clearly seeing the person's appearance, but this feeling, it was unmistakable! "B-Booker, Mr. Booker." In the darkness, a silhouette barely visible by the faint light from outside the window slowly turned to look at her. She couldn't see anything clearly, but she just knew it was Booker! She was trembling. If Liam was a demon, then Booker was the demon's minion. He would torment the girls in even more cruel ways, just…
