Chapter 526

by karlmaks — The call between Charlie and Bandy didn't last long before it ended. They both had their own important matters to attend to and no time for a lengthy chat. Neither of them discussed the idea of asking the big shots for help, because they both knew it was impossible. If their opponent were someone like the mayor, then they could call for aid, as it was indeed not something they could handle on their own. Just like Councilman Williams, who brought in Senator Cleveland, and all of the mayor's schemes…

Chapter 558

by karlmaks — In the early morning, a gentleman was driving from his home. Not long after he started, just as he was about to enter the Starlight District, he suddenly found several guys wearing safety helmets blocking the middle of the road. One of them was even waving a signal flag in his hand, the kind with a small red and white wooden pole and a red flag, which was very eye-catching. "I'm sorry, sir. We're dealing with a sewer manhole cover problem. This area is temporarily closed." The gentleman driving…

by karlmaks — In the morning, just as Ryder (the old tailor's son-in-law, the garment factory's manager) arrived at his office and had just hung up his hat and sat down, someone knocked on the door outside. The garment factory's business was good now. On one hand, Lance's side needed a large number of new work clothes. These work clothes would be given to the garment factory at a normal price, considered as an independent business. If the Lance Family wanted to go further, they couldn't have all their…

Chapter 345

by karlmaks — The summer mornings dawned earlier. By a little after six, the sky was already completely light, but ninety percent of the city was still asleep. Whether it was the working class at the bottom or the wealthy in the Bay Area, they all needed longer sleep to compensate for their physical losses. The physical loss of the rich was because they needed to battle with beautiful girls or handsome boys late into the night, while for the manual laborers, it was simply because they were exhausted from a full…

by karlmaks — Edward (the son of a director at the dock management company) sat in a corner of the conference room. He had come with his father. Although his father was not the executive director, he was currently one of the rotating directors, somewhat like a vice president. The executive director presided over the board and the company's daily work, while the rotating directors were responsible for assisting from the side. As his son, he naturally brought his son along to see the world. After all, in the end,…

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 — The scantily clad girl gathered the playing cards on the table with her slender fingers. Around the gambling table sat several gentlemen who looked either rich or noble. Beside them, there were also various girls and women keeping them company. These women were all very outstanding. They might have been the dream lovers of many, the goals they pursued. But here, their faces were all filled with caution and a desire to please, serving the people around them. "Are you just going to let it go like…

Chapter 505

by karlmaks — Lance had been arrested. The news spread quickly, reaching almost the entire upper crust of Golden Port society in a very short time. At the same time, they also learned about the attack on the Kodak Club. It was said that millions in gambling funds had been stolen by the robbers. For a moment, the telephone lines in Golden Port hit a small peak as many people became concerned with one question—was there a chance to pry this money out of Lance's mouth? After all, it was several million,…

Chapter 537

by karlmaks — The private casino operators from two districts sat in Lance's office. The room was quiet at the moment; they were all carefully mulling it over. Thirty percent. This was a number they were a little unsure how to express their feelings about. If you were to say... it was too much, it was actually much less than the minimum 50% cut proposed by the Kodak Family. But to say they were happy, that wasn't necessarily true either. After all, having to give away real money to someone else would make…
