      Chapter 330 Cover
      by karlmaks Alberto, sitting at the table counting the accounts, had a cigarette dangling from his lips. The smoke made it almost impossible for him to open his eyes. In fact, the profits Lezhu Company made from usury were far less than the profits from selling smuggled liquor in bars, but this business had the advantage of being stable. No one knew what the future would hold. Keeping such an industry was actually a means of increasing risk resistance. Even if one day liquor couldn't be sold, at least they…

      by karlmaks "Mr. Lance!" Roger stood up with all the big guys, smiles covering everyone's faces. Lance raised his hand to signal for them to sit down, then he also sat down at the very front, facing them. "Yesterday's 'International News' was really hard to buy. They actually asked me for thirty cents." "Have you all seen it?" Some said they had, some said they hadn't but knew about the matter. The Four-Nation War had already become the biggest public opinion storm in the Federation, with almost…

      by karlmaks In the morning, just as Lance sat down in the dining room, Elvin brought some bad news. "The price of liquor has dropped a bit." Lance asked while eating his bacon, "What's the reason?" "Has Prohibition been relaxed?" "Or something else?" Elvin sat down next to him, also picking up a piece of bread. While adding things to it, he said, "The distilleries have all started to reopen, but they're not producing liquor, they're producing medicinal alcohol." "But you know... as long as the…

      Chapter 327 Cover
      by karlmaks "My God!" The family of three looked at Lance with a bit of horror. Several lives had just disappeared so simply in front of them. This still had a huge shock for the middle class! You know, the people who most follow and maintain the rules of social operation in the Federation are the middle class! Because the middle class can be said to be the vested interest group of the current social laws, that's why they will more spontaneously and from the bottom of their hearts maintain these social laws…

      by karlmaks Lance called some people and drove towards the Priliccia District. On the way, Lance suddenly laughed inexplicably, which made Elvin always couldn't help but look at him. "What's so funny?" "Mind sharing?" Lance lit a cigarette. He had just taken a drag when he started to laugh again, "I find it very interesting. Back then, we were helping others collect debts." "Now, it's our turn to help people renege on their debts. Don't you think that's very interesting?" Elvin was stunned for a moment…

      Chapter 325 Cover
      by karlmaks In the office, Lance and Vaughn sat together, both smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee. "The prosperity of the entire Golden Port is built on the success of the port, but now those parasites in the Bay Area have never been grateful for the dockworkers' contributions." "They have taken countless wealth from here, yet they are unwilling to even give the workers $40." "This is very unreasonable, Vaughn." Vaughn looked up and glanced at Lance, "So have you joined a certain political party…

      by karlmaks Recently, sound films have driven the rapid development of the entire film industry, attracting the attention of a lot of capital. The entry of capital naturally brings a series of changes. To cope with these changes, at the initiative of some screenwriters, directors, and actors, a "Film Practitioners' Guild" was formed. Any practitioner related to film can join this guild, and the organizers claim that they will integrate and efficiently utilize the resources of the entire industry. Many…

      Chapter 323 Cover
      by karlmaks The matter of Charlie running for city councilman was indeed beyond Lance's expectations, but upon careful thought, perhaps this was his way of regaining control of the Golden Port police system through another method. If he were to control the entire police system as an ordinary old man, some people would always express their dissatisfaction. But for a city councilman to intervene in the work of the police system, although it might not be that appropriate, it could at least be justified, and the law…

      Chapter 322 Cover
      by karlmaks Johnny squatted on the side of the road, smoking. There was a broom next to him, and his eyes held a certain weariness from having seen through life. Ever since his arm was broken by Lance in front of everyone, he had become much more honest at the docks. It wasn't that he didn't want to find a job elsewhere, but there really wasn't a suitable place for him. The number of workers recruited in the industrial area was not as high as the demand in previous years. The work was not very good, the…

      by karlmaks "I have some connection with them," Lance didn't say it in full, but he didn't deny it either. He wasn't yet clear what Councilman Williams meant by this. If he said too much, it would be difficult to refuse later, but he couldn't just say nothing either. Perhaps this was another opportunity. Councilman Williams raised his wine glass, signaling Lance to clink glasses with him. After the two had clinked their glasses, they each took a small sip of wine. The alcohol content of the whiskey was…
