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…

Chapter 569

by karlmaks — After Deputy Chief Duke left the Kodak family manor, he immediately made a phone call to Chief Bruce. "I'm out. Is this all that's needed?" "Yes, this is enough. You might have to make a few more trips in the next few days. Things will be over soon." "Okay, just let me know when." "I'm off to handle other things." The major cleanup was nearing its end, but it wasn't completely finished. He still had a lot of work to do. He was actually very curious, but he also knew to only ask questions he…

Chapter 601

by karlmaks — "Damn it!" At a little after nine in the morning, Director Dale, sitting behind his desk, couldn't help but curse as he picked up the newspaper. The headline of today's Golden Port Today was "The Grand Construction of the Naval Base," accompanied by a photo that was likely taken from a slightly higher place with a bird's-eye view. The entire wilderness was densely packed with people, as numerous as an overturned anthill. Everywhere, you could see those refugees clearing away everything above…

Chapter 665: Found You and the Same Choice

by karlmaks — Richie sat on the side of the old sofa with a cigarette in his mouth. He already knew about David's death. In the newspaper, the unlucky bastard was lying on the ground, his head tilted, a gunshot wound near his temple, another in his neck, and about seven or eight in his chest. Human emotions are complex. David and Richie's relationship was the best among them. David's death did not make the others feel that horrified. Many of them used words like "he has returned to the embrace of God" to…

by karlmaks — Most bars in Uptown (Starlight District) play trendy or relaxing music, and many have live singers. The "cotton-picking experts," after enduring countless hardships, had finally achieved complete freedom. But freedom left them dazed and at a loss. In the past, although the farm owners and plantation owners would sometimes whip them, forcing them to work, work, work, at least the plantation owners would feed them until they were full. Even if the food wasn't good, they would make sure they were…

by karlmaks — The meal lasted for more than two hours, and it was clear they had all had too much to drink. The most common thing people do in adversity is to reminisce about their glorious past, and memory can thus become a potent poison. The recollection of the past made all three of them show some true feelings, including Bandy. He had indeed been having a hard time recently. As soon as he thought of the past glory of the Five Families, a desire to return to the past would well up in his heart. But the…

by karlmaks — "...I'll call you back." After hanging up, Director Dale sat for a while before pressing a button on his desk and saying, "Come in."
