Chapter 506

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.

Chapter 107: Investigation and the Garment Factory Manager

by karlmaks — Hammer got beaten again—this time by Ethan—and then the group returned to the company. In the garage, Morris and Lawn spread waterproof tarps all over the floor. Only then was Hammer brought in, looking very weak. His head had suffered continuous heavy blows and beatings, leaving his consciousness somewhat blurred. But the moment Elvin entered, Hammer suddenly perked up. A sharp adrenaline rush made him more “awake” than ever. He looked at Elvin kneeling on the ground. “It’s all my fault.…

Chapter 106: Mr. Lance Treats Everyone to a Drink

by karlmaks — If there were a ranking of the smartest people in the bar, the bartender would definitely be number one. The bartender looked about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, wearing a white shirt and a black vest. He glanced at the two bucks on the table, then sized up Lance. Under Lance’s watchful gaze, he picked up the money and put it in his pocket. He looked toward the stage. “That guy wearing blue jeans and a dark green cowboy hat is Hammer.” The bartender turned back to Lance. “Don’t cause…

by karlmaks — Everyone was thinking. This was a game, a gamble, but it was not a card game! There was only one round here, and the win or loss was not just the metal or other material chips on the table. You had to bet your everything. This was indeed not an easy choice, and it required not only money, but also courage, so Lance did not rush them. He smoked his cigarette and waited quietly.

by karlmaks — At eleven o'clock, the sound of cars stopping came from the road outside, and then the door of the house was knocked on. The senior agent stood at the door and asked softly, "Who's there?" The voice outside was unfamiliar, very strange, but what the other party said was what he needed.

He opened the two security locks and then pulled the door open. The…

by karlmaks — Senior Agent Dewent slowly raised his hands. Then he felt a hand search his body, and quickly found his service pistol, as well as the dagger on his waist. After all these things had been thoroughly searched, a voice came from behind, "You can put your hands down now." And the person behind him gave him a push. He appeared outside the living room.
