Chapter 509

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…

Chapter 541

by karlmaks — The wailing sirens pierced the tranquility of the night. The red and blue police lights illuminated the motel's not-so-large building. These police cars belonged to the Highway Patrol, not Golden Port City. They were too far away and had no jurisdiction here. The scene had already been restricted. The police were collecting evidence, and the homicide detective had also rushed to the scene. It's interesting to note that the Highway Patrol also had a homicide office, because there were so damn many…

Chapter 573

by karlmaks — The Kodak Family had been served up on a platter. Previously, this concept hadn't been so... clear and distinct to Bandy. But as the situation continued to develop, those who were supposed to be his "support" and "protective umbrella" all began to tell him they were powerless. It wasn't that they were truly powerless; it was just that they had discovered the delightful aroma emanating from their good friend. The scent wafting from the plump, interest-laden Kodak Family made them salivate…

Chapter 605

by karlmaks — After Lance left, the warehouse returned to calm. Under the light, Director Dale looked at Ponda with a changing, very complex expression. "I never thought it would be you, nor did I think it would be him." Ponda shrugged. "Actually, I never thought so either. But, there's no harm to us, is there?" "At first, I didn't think this through. I thought that by siding with one party, I would lose something." "But in reality, I lost nothing. On the contrary, I have gained more than before." "Wealth,…

Chapter 637

by karlmaks — On the weekend, Lance and Alberto sat on a bench at the tourist pier, chatting while enjoying the sea breeze. "Did you know?" "They've given you a new nickname." The wind ruffled Alberto's hair. He looked at Lance with great emotion. Three years ago, Lance had come to him for... he couldn't remember how much money it was anymore. Two or three hundred dollars, it should have been that much. For such a small amount of money, he had sought him out. At that time, he had been drawn to Lance's…

Chapter 392

by karlmaks — The matter of the police collecting money didn't originally start with the police actively collecting it, but with the operators actively giving it. The rate of gang turnover was too fast. So much so that you could pay a protection fee in the morning, and by the afternoon, that gang would be finished. Then the new gang that took over would demand that all the shops in the area pay again. No one could withstand such a hassle. In an era when the police could still stop evil, people could only place…

by karlmaks — "I heard you had a little problem over there." William stood facing the full-length mirror while Emily helped him adjust his clothes. These were all clothes personally made by the old tailor, fitting him perfectly. Although the old tailor was not yet famous in the Federation... But he was indeed capable, otherwise the nobles would not wear the clothes he made. William, carefully groomed in the mirror, looked as if he were several years younger. He looked at Lance through the mirror. Lance…

Chapter 456

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 — Ponda looked at her, uncomprehending. "Why?" Lisa refused to look at him. "I can't convince myself to face you again!" Even the doctor, who was used to seeing such things, was shocked by the injuries on her body. So what about Ponda? Would he find it unacceptable? After all, those wounds were man-made, created by someone with some object, on her body. She hadn't been wearing clothes, otherwise it would have been impossible to create such wounds. Maybe he wouldn't realize anything…

by karlmaks — In the evening, Ponda returned home. After resting for a while, he made a phone call to Lance. The call was quickly answered. "What do you plan to do next?" Ponda asked, smoking in his study. Today, the Bureau of Hazardous Materials also began interrogating the captured bar operators. Some of them were also subjected to torture, but the results were equally poor. But coincidentally, Ponda was in charge of the main interrogation work. Because everyone knew that he and the Lance Family did not…
