Chapter 616

by karlmaks — The phone line was suddenly cut. This was not a good thing. Under the cover of the night, nothing could be seen outside the window. There was nothing unusual under the dim streetlights, but the calmer it was, the more uneasy he felt. He quickly opened the drawer. Inside was a semi-automatic pistol. He checked the magazine, pulled the slide back, and then closed the safety. He also put two spare magazines into his pocket. He came out of the study. His wife was in the living room, reading a…

Chapter 648

by karlmaks — After returning home, Mr. Hoff sat in his chair. He casually opened his cigarette case, which contained cigarettes, cigars, and a few boxes of pipe tobacco. It was all fine tobacco. Just this one cigarette case, and the value of its contents might be equivalent to the combined income of an ordinary family for several years without eating or drinking. Perhaps even more. Usually, when he was alone, he liked to pair whiskey with a cigar. The aroma and alcohol of the whiskey could wash away some of…

Chapter 531

by karlmaks — The sudden "arrest" and the cold muzzle of the gun pressed against his forehead left the chief of the Creek Valley precinct drenched in sweat. His two subordinates had just stood up before they were disarmed. The clerk did not scream. In this era, if you hadn't experienced a few armed robberies—whether it was a gang robbing you or a patrol officer passing by looking for some pocket money—it would be abnormal. Being robbed, watching others being robbed—this was something everyone at the…

Chapter 563

by karlmaks — Stone was hysterically shouting, cursing, and making a scene. He was seeking death. He was crying while doing this, all the while being terrified, yet trying to be strong. What a fool. Lance nodded slightly. "Grant his wish." When he said this, Stone was visibly stunned. Before the shock on his face could even register as an emotion, a rope was slipped around his neck and pulled tight. He didn't struggle at first, just closed his eyes, seemingly seeking death. But as time passed, bit by bit,…

Chapter 595

by karlmaks — These past two days, funds had been continuously flowing into the company's project account. The director, looking at the ever-increasing amount of money, couldn't wipe the smile off his face. The actual profits were much larger than he had imagined. After all the shares were paid, the total income had already exceeded 1.3 million, and it was still increasing intermittently. It wasn't impossible to reach 1.5 million. According to the contract they had signed with the cinema chains, the production…

Chapter 627

by karlmaks — Half an hour ago, several people with grim faces walked out of the Golden Port Casino with their luggage. After confronting Lance head-on at the meeting, they clearly realized that their journey in Golden Port City was over. This city was great. Everything here was great. The casinos, the women, the beaches, the streets, the shopping malls—everything exuded an intoxicating atmosphere. Living here was like living in paradise. They wanted to stay, too, but after what they had just done, they no…

Chapter 659: There are Unruly People

by karlmaks — In a person's life, there will always be a moment, a dazzling ray of sunlight that illuminates a period of that life, even if it's just for an instant! Loraine looked directly into Lance's eyes, her own welling with tears, so much so that Lance appeared blurry and indistinct to her. "I didn't take it!" "I have never taken anything that belongs to anyone else!" She almost cried it out, the sense of grievance in her heart like a bursting flood, and large tears rolled down her cheeks. A sensitive…

Chapter 510

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…

Chapter 542

by karlmaks — "The man has been caught." Lance was a little surprised when Chief Bruce called. "I thought you'd need a bit more time to find him." Lance already knew that Charlie's car had been found, but that Charlie himself had disappeared. It wasn't that they were personally searching for Charlie there; it was good enough that the local marshals or highway patrol could continue to advance the case. You couldn't expect them to do everything immediately; that wasn't realistic. Lance had guessed it might…

Chapter 574

by karlmaks — In the room, Lance sat opposite Bandy, the two of them looking at each other. Of course, there was no sweet atmosphere here, but the air wasn't explosive either. The meeting between the two was much more peaceful than others had imagined. Lance crossed his legs, nodded slightly, and answered the question Bandy had just asked, "Yes, it's just as you said." "The Kodak Family and you have grown up with the most important thirty years of this city. You and a certain part of it are highly…
