Chapter 657: Absconding and Curiosity

by karlmaks — When Chief Bruce received the interrogation from Mayor Williams, a visible layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. He could no longer sit still, standing by his desk and clutching the receiver. "Should I... know something?" After hearing him, Mayor Williams shook his head slightly. This was another fool. But on second thought, for Lance, and even for himself, a fool or a smart person really made no difference. As a tool, whether it could achieve good results depended entirely on its user, not on…

Chapter 656

by karlmaks — Mr. Hoff vigorously rubbed his wrinkled face with both hands. Interestingly, although his face had wrinkles, compared to the faces of the homeless people outside, it was still soft despite the lines. Supplementing with enough nutrients every day kept his physical condition much better than that of ordinary people, but this didn't make him any better than ordinary people when facing trouble. He couldn't even bring himself to curse. He wanted to pick up his coffee and take a sip to wet his throat,…

Chapter 655

by karlmaks — At five o'clock, the newspaper distributors in Golden Port City had already gathered at the place designated for distributing newspapers. In this era, newspapers had three main sales channels— Fixed Address Subscription: Whether for a family or a company, they would pay the newspaper's publishing house periodically, and then the newspaper would be delivered to the designated mailbox or newspaper box, or to a place like the company's front desk, by a delivery person every day. Sales by…

Chapter 654

by karlmaks — In the room stood seven or eight young men, all about Arthur's age. Lance's gaze swept over their faces one by one, and then he turned to look at Mayor Williams. "You and your family might need to step aside for a moment." "Sometimes people lose some of their memories from a certain period. We need to help them remember, and this process might be a little bit..." He flicked his wrist, a look of regret on his face as if those people might not be willing to cooperate. The moment the word "painful"…

Chapter 653

by karlmaks — Arthur had been cooped up for days. He and Corinda had broken up, an amicable split. Although James and his old man had warned him not to mess with that girl, young men are always after something new. He had had many girlfriends. For example, his female classmates. Sometimes he couldn't even tell who was enjoying the relationship while it lasted. He always felt that those female classmates were "playing" him, rather than him being the one in control. Too enthusiastic! At first, it might…

Chapter 652

by karlmaks — Mr. Charles sat behind his desk, the elbow of the hand holding the phone pressed against the tabletop to support his balance. His other hand held a cigarette, and in front of him was a cup of coffee with whiskey. His collar was slightly open, not quite befitting his status, making him look a bit... haggard. The events of the past few days had put him under pressure. An interest group is like a large tree. No matter how big its crown is, as long as the woodcutter finds its main trunk, it can be…

by karlmaks — "This is..." "Is that so?" "Okay, no problem, who else?" "Alright, I'll be there on time!" After hanging up the phone, a gentleman frowned and leaned forward, one arm supporting his chin on the edge of the desk, turning his head to look at the gloomy sky outside the window. It had been snowing for the past few days, but it was as if it couldn't snow cleanly. It would snow for a while, then stop, then snow for a while, then stop. It couldn't just dump all the snow at once, it was always an…

Chapter 649

by karlmaks — After Joshua hung up the phone, he pursed his lips. He knew all too well what these people were thinking. They were using him as a handy tool to get rid of the Lance Family, and then they would toss him into the trash heap! The ruling class in every region thought and acted this way, because it was so effective. Using gangs to govern the lower class of society, using gangs to govern gangs, was the basic policy promoted by the federal government. So even though the gangs were rampant enough to…

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 647

by karlmaks — For the current rulers of the Federation, using gangs to restrain gangs was one of the simplest and most effective methods, and the key was that it worked very well. Unfortunately, Charlie and Bandy had made a mess of the internal stability of Golden Port City, leaving them with an incredibly passive situation. If the police force were still in their hands, they could have easily dealt with Lance. Whether it was by investigating his criminal businesses or directly finding trouble with him, they could…
