by karlmaks — Bandy was very satisfied with Fleming's plan. This was how the heir to the Kodak Family should be, much better than he had imagined. Even Bandy himself probably couldn't have made a better decision. Sending him to an Ivy League college was indeed worth it, even if it cost a lot of money. Stone asked in a muffled voice, "What about all the money we lost?" "And Lance is so cunning. The Bureau of Hazardous Materials might not be able to crush him in one go." Everyone's attention was focused on…

by karlmaks — "Here's your money!" In the office, a man with slicked-back hair sat in a chair, holding a stack of cash. The man across from him had already stood up, his face wearing an obsequious expression, head bowed and back bent. The nameplate on the desk read "Pepe Finance Company." This was a loan shark company. Loan sharking was also illegal in the Federation, but many people, especially gangsters, were in the business. The profits from loan sharking were high, and the risks were low. Anyone with…

A meaningless phone call from the state capital. After Bandy hung up, he returned to the dining table. Gorry asked, "Why not let them help?" He had overheard a little of the conversation, but only a little. Bandy shook his head. "They can help us stand taller in the sunlight, but they can't help us fight in the darkness." "Besides, the price of using…

by karlmaks — In the interrogation room, everyone else had left, leaving only the Deputy Chief. The two of them lit up cigarettes. The Deputy Chief's expression was terrible. "We're just letting him go like that?" Hunter was silent for a moment, his tone filled with helplessness. "The mayor is protecting him." That one sentence was enough for the Deputy Chief to understand why Lance could leave. If the mayor was protecting him, then no one in this city could stand against him. Or rather, unless some of the…

by karlmaks — Lance had been arrested. The news spread quickly, reaching almost the entire upper crust of Golden Port society in a very short time. At the same time, they also learned about the attack on the Kodak Club. It was said that millions in gambling funds had been stolen by the robbers. For a moment, the telephone lines in Golden Port hit a small peak as many people became concerned with one question—was there a chance to pry this money out of Lance's mouth? After all, it was several million,…

by karlmaks — Carrying a briefcase, Roger was led up the steps by a staff member. The men who seemed to be both greeters and security guards only escorted him to the end of the red carpet. Any further inside was beyond the scope of their duties. Although these men were there to protect the casino in addition to greeting guests, for the wealthy patrons, seeing people who didn't belong wandering around with weapons would make them uneasy. Inside the entire casino, wherever there were gambling tables, there were…

by karlmaks — Lance was not the type to take a punch without hitting back. And when he hit back, he hit back hard. This wasn't Roger's first day at the casino. Arthur had a friend bring Roger to the casino, where he smoothly signed up for a membership card. He had been visiting for several days now.

Although the amounts weren't massive, for an ordinary person, it was still a considerable sum of…

He wore a blue woolen jacket and a beige and dark brown plaid flat cap, with his hands in his trouser pockets. He walked at a brisk pace, no different from an ordinary pedestrian. He was accompanied by a few others, all dressed similarly and looking ordinary. People dressed this way were a common sight here. The two men standing guard at the bar entrance merely glanced at them before looking…
