by karlmaks — "Mr. Lance, I know this is asking too much, but we're really out of options." An old man, who looked to be in his fifties, stood before Lance. His back, bent by life and this recent blow, made him look not so well. He was very thin and wore a gray cap. "I no longer have the ability to work. I've been looking for a job recently, but... no one is willing to hire me." "All my life savings were in the bank. I could have lived on those savings, but now..." His voice choked as he spoke, "I've lost…

by karlmaks — In the bright room, Councilman Williams and James sat on opposite sides of the table. Sunlight streamed through the glass, warming the room. The room was quiet. Both men were contemplating their own thoughts, with little communication between them. After about two or three minutes, James asked with a hint of inquiry, "How do you think this will end?" Councilman Williams smiled. "If a giant only arm-wrestles with others within the rules, then that giant won't live to become a giant; it will be…

by karlmaks — "Mr. Roben, I don't want to say the same thing too many times, but I have to say it again, thank you!" Alan took the initiative to shake hands with Roben the lawyer. "The Boss is held up with some things and couldn't come, so he asked me to convey his thanks for you taking the time to come." Just paying bail didn't actually require Roben the lawyer to come in person. He could have sent an assistant or even a law apprentice to do it. But he still came in person. This was a matter of attitude. He…

by karlmaks — Ten minutes later, the manager of the dock management company drove over. The dock was huge. If he had walked, it might have taken twenty-something minutes. He had an embarrassed look on his face. After getting out of the car, he took the initiative to walk over and shake hands with the general manager. "I came to see what happened." The Liji Group's general manager looked behind him, his hands raised in a clear show of fluctuating emotions. "Where are the workers?" "Our goods are waiting to be…

by karlmaks — In the spacious room, money boxes sent from various bars were piled up. The young men of the family sat together, quickly sorting the banknotes inside the boxes. Lance sat on a sofa to the side, holding a cigar. In truth, he didn't particularly like cigars because he couldn't inhale them into his lungs, but recently he seemed to have found a little pleasure in them. It was a very powerful cigar; smoking it felt like drinking liquor, giving a slight dizzying sensation. This was due to the large…

by karlmaks — "Bandy..." Gory looked at Bandy, a hint of disappointment in his eyes. The Kodak family of the past was not like this. Back then, to monopolize the casino project, their ancestors had strived in that direction. In their grandfathers' and fathers' generations, the power and deterrent force of the Kodak family had reached its peak. Any force that did not abide by the rules of the game they set would be cruelly bloodbathed by them, until all the casinos in the entire city were closed…

by karlmaks — Lance's original intention was to meet with Bandy in a more... secluded place, but Bandy invited Lance to meet in his office at the "Golden Port Casino," and Lance could only accept with pleasure. At the same time, he also wanted to see for himself what was so extraordinary about this casino, which was known as the most luxurious in Golden Port. The Golden Port Casino was located between the Starlight District and the Bay Area. It was not a square building but was designed by a famous designer. It…

Chapter 449

by karlmaks — Golden State is a good place. It's the political, cultural, and commercial center of the Federation. But the gangs don't like it here much. Precisely because it's too much of a "center." There are too many powerful people here. You never know if your criminal activities will offend these people who control the entire country. Their families, relatives, friends, even a dog. Something like this had happened before. The son of a gang leader was driving his new car around town. When he stopped…

by karlmaks — One by one, the warehouses were pulled open. One warehouse after another of agricultural products was contaminated by industrial waste. The general manager's blood pressure instantly rose significantly. For larger, thick-skinned fruits and agricultural products, like pumpkins, it was relatively easier to handle. But how to handle the thin-skinned ones? Casual washing could potentially rub off the skin, and most importantly, the pungent smell was not so easy to get rid of. Just the cost of…

by karlmaks — "The Liji Group?" The general manager sat behind his desk and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. He found it hard to imagine how destitute this guy used to be, and now he was actually talking to him about the Liji Group's commercial insurance. His gaze swept over this middle-aged man constantly. If you didn't consider his attire, you could hardly see any connection between him and the word "success." But looking at that set of purely handmade clothes, the word "success" seemed to be…
