Advanced chapter until 500+ at patreon.com/caleredhair Hearing Lance's name from the receiver made the mayor slightly surprised, but this was immediately followed by great annoyance. "How are you sure he did it?" Chief Dale looked at the car parked on the side of the road across from him and said softly, "Because he's right here!" Under Chief Dale's gaze, Roben the lawyer brought a group of bailed-out people to the car. He bent over slightly, his face full of a fawning smile, "Mr. Lance, I've brought…-

"He drank too much, the bartender wouldn't sell him any more liquor, he wanted to cause trouble, and then he was kicked out." "He saw Rob go to the phone booth across the street, and then a little while later, Lukar and his men arrived." Lance glanced at the young man next to Morris, repeating a part of what Morris had just…

"You mean Jack?" Patricia looked at Lance. "I remember you met last time, at Barbara's birthday party." Speaking of Barbara's birthday party, Patricia showed a hint of envy. Barbara's life was what she yearned for. Perhaps this was a thought most good girls have had. They longed to wear the long dresses that church schools didn't allow girls to wear, didn't permit them to dress up extravagantly, and didn't allow them to laugh or cry loudly. The gradual exit of church schools from the stage of history…

Advanced chapter until 500+ at patreon.com/caleredhair Just as Lance and William were discussing Mr. Jobav becoming their opponent, Mr. Jobav was also chatting with the mayor about this. "...Lance's status in the hearts of the Empire immigrants is very high. If he supports that William fellow to run for election, it's hard for me to say I can secure a stable victory." The mayor sat behind his desk, frowning at the documents on the table. He held a cigarette in his left hand and hadn't smoked it for a…

There were two other specialists in the office; they were both specialist representatives from the Liji Group's headquarters, here to handle some work. In fact, it wasn't just the two of them, but an entire legal team. Lance was just one of their clients. There were other similar, but not entirely identical,…

Lance left very decisively. So decisively that there was no argument, no scene, which made even Bridge feel it was incredible. The blonde secretary, carrying coffee, was just about to knock on the door when she saw Lance walk out from inside. She was somewhat stunned and at a loss, watching as Lance walked to the elevator and pressed the button, while she peeked her head into the room. She didn't know who to give the coffee in her hand to, or if she should throw it away. In a large corporation, serving…

Advanced chapter until 500+ at patreon.com/caleredhair "Actually, you could introduce me to work at your company." Sitting in the passenger seat, Nancy's hand rested on the car window. The wind blew in through the window, lifting her hair. This refreshing feeling was simply fantastic! Although this was a used car, which in her estimation should be worth four or five hundred dollars, it was a car after all. Walking home, riding a bike home, taking the bus home, and riding home in a private car are…

Advanced chapter until 500+ at patreon.com/caleredhair Bolton returned home with a heavy heart. He had just been called to a meeting by Lance. This was his first time attending a high-level cadre meeting. Looking at the group, clearly only seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen years old—twenty was considered old—and filled with extraordinary vitality, he felt an indescribable feeling. He felt that he had grown old. He had never felt this way before. Back then, all he thought about was the "Federation…

Advanced chapter until 500+ at patreon.com/caleredhair "Lance, do you know a person named Russ?" This was the second time Lance had heard this name from someone else's mouth. The first person to talk about this Russ was William (Patricia's father). He spoke with a tone full of mockery when he mentioned that the Empire District councilman was not a smart cookie. This was also one of the reasons that prompted him to decide to run for election in the Empire District. Dealing with a Liberal Party member…

Advanced chapter until 500+ at patreon.com/caleredhair "I hope you get well soon..." Lance stood by the bedside in the hospital room, holding some gifts. He had come to visit Eric. Eric lay on the bed, his face black and blue, with one leg and one arm in plaster casts, suspended in the air. He looked like he wanted to... curse? Or make some other large movement after seeing Lance, but because his movement was too big, it made him feel a heart-rending pain. He could only grimace and suck in a cold…
