Chapter 416

by karlmaks — Everyone cherishes time, but time is also the most helpless of things. It won't show you any more mercy just because you cherish it, nor will it move any slower for you. Whether you cherish it or ignore it, your time and everyone else's is the same. Or rather, the process of matter acting upon your bodies is the same. It's even possible that because you cherish time, you make yourself more tired. But who can really say for sure about such things? Two days passed in the blink of an…

Chapter 415

by karlmaks — It was already September. Imperial bureau Chief Bruce gave Lance a call, asking whether to collect this month's fees or not. Lance told him to stop starting this month because Lance's men had already begun collecting the new hygiene fees. He had changed the name for these protection fees to "hygiene fees." He had set up a new company called "Wanli Cleaning Company." The main business of this company was to provide environmental cleaning services to clients. All the merchants in the Empire District…

Chapter 414

by karlmaks — The body of Rick's son was not taken directly to the morgue but was put in a body bag and sent to the Cassia family estate. They didn't have this rule, and they didn't plan to solve this problem through the police. From receiving the news to the body being transported back, it was only a matter of twenty-something minutes. He looked as if he had aged several years in an instant. He slowly walked to the side of the body bag, hesitated for a moment, and opened the zipper. As the body bag was…

Chapter 413

by karlmaks — "I heard from Rick that it's not safe outside lately." Rick's son's girlfriend sat in the car, looking at the young man beside her, a little worried. She didn't quite understand why the Five Families had suddenly become opposed to each other. She was not yet qualified to know these things. Rick's son put his arm around her waist and kissed her on the cheek. This girlfriend of his was only nineteen. He liked her delicate cheeks, the feeling of her dewy, tender skin. Although he didn't know if…

Chapter 412

by karlmaks — The Cassia family was also very powerful in Yalan. Any wealthy person could rally a large group of people to follow them in Yalan, whether it was for legitimate business, mining, or other things. Or for illegitimate business, like selling girls abroad, or hiring a large number of gunmen to acquire wealth through illegal means. As long as you have money, there will always be people who will work with you. Most of the time, for Federation people, they can't experience that kind of desperate…

Chapter 411

by karlmaks — A drop of rain, prepared, fell from the clouds with the help of gravity. It plunged towards the ground from high above with indomitable courage, its mission to create a small splash in a shallow puddle on the ground. The gray, gloomy clouds had nurtured it, so it too was gray and gloomy. After it had passed through an unknown number of meters, the silhouette of the city appeared before it. Is this the city? The halo of colorful neon lights spreading through the misty city was a beauty it had…

Chapter 410

by karlmaks — Hearing Lance's words, his expression changed slightly. He then looked down at the small card in his hand and said, "I don't lay a hand on innocent people." Although he engaged in dirty dealings, he never considered himself an evil person. Those moonshiners deserved to go to hell, but the liquor was innocent. He also agreed with the majority view that Prohibition was a foolish decision. Selling liquor to Lance had no direct bearing on whether he was a good or bad person. He was still a guardian…

Chapter 409

by karlmaks — It's often like this in life: we are always struggling in dissatisfaction, searching for direction after getting lost. It isn't until the moment we see the light again that we realize the happiness we wanted, we actually possessed it a long, long time ago. It's just that in the process of struggling and getting lost, we lost that happiness. But some things always require a choice—a choice of self, a choice of human nature. Perhaps many years later, they will still recall the words they…

by karlmaks — Luca really didn't want to continue working in the Lawrence family business. He dealt with agricultural products all day long. After a while, his body would either have a whiff of cow dung or a fishy smell of soil. He wanted to do something different, to get away from those annoying family affairs. Lance gave him a new choice, which he gladly accepted. He then took Lance's money to register a shell company and submit a transaction application to the Liji Agricultural Group. The whole process…

Chapter 407

by karlmaks — When people reach the middle class, most will ponder this question— What, exactly, is wealth? Is it money, or is it the commodities squeezed out of human resources through layers of labor exploitation? Everyone will have a different opinion on this question, but everyone has a common understanding, which is that wealth is not born out of thin air; it requires people. As for how wealth actually works, most people only have a vague idea and are not very clear. At this moment, Lance's…
