Chapter 546

by karlmaks — Bandy returned from outside, reeking of alcohol. Gorry immediately put down what he was doing and went to greet him, proactively taking the clothes he had taken off, and asked nervously, "How did it go?" Bandy leaned back on the sofa, his head tilted back, his eyes closed, and let out a heavy sigh. Although he hadn't said anything, Gorry already had the answer in his heart. Charlie's death had made them nervous. The key problem was that the Bay Area had lost control of the police system, which was…

Chapter 545

by karlmaks — "They thought... with Charlie dead, we were no longer a threat to them." Sitting behind his desk, Councilman Williams spoke, a cigarette held between his fingers. He knew why those people had initially agreed to come to tonight's gathering. It was because everyone knew that Charlie had been caught. Charlie had been doing the Bay Area's dirty work for nearly forty years. He held too many secrets related to the Bay Area. The gentlemen of the Bay Area hadn't made a move on him before purely…

Chapter 544

by karlmaks — The time slowly pointed to seven o'clock. Councilman Williams looked at the slightly empty living room with a not-so-good expression on his face. James, Arthur, Lance, William, and a few other people did not even fill a tenth of this living room. When the grandfather clock struck seven "dings," everyone's eyes focused on Councilman Williams. Tonight, Councilman Williams himself had a gathering. With the mayoral election getting closer and closer, he definitely needed to put some effort into…

Chapter 543

by karlmaks — Charlie panted, looking at the person outside the car. He was wearing a ski mask, but even so, he could still "see" him through the person's eyes. This was a young man. There was not the slightest awe for life in his eyes, nor any confusion about the future. He just stood there calmly, then raised his pistol to do a simple thing. For some reason, when he saw this young man, Charlie seemed to see his former self in a daze. He was like a lost child, constantly spinning in an upward maze. Someone had…

Chapter 542

by karlmaks — "The man has been caught." Lance was a little surprised when Chief Bruce called. "I thought you'd need a bit more time to find him." Lance already knew that Charlie's car had been found, but that Charlie himself had disappeared. It wasn't that they were personally searching for Charlie there; it was good enough that the local marshals or highway patrol could continue to advance the case. You couldn't expect them to do everything immediately; that wasn't realistic. Lance had guessed it might…

Chapter 541

by karlmaks — The wailing sirens pierced the tranquility of the night. The red and blue police lights illuminated the motel's not-so-large building. These police cars belonged to the Highway Patrol, not Golden Port City. They were too far away and had no jurisdiction here. The scene had already been restricted. The police were collecting evidence, and the homicide detective had also rushed to the scene. It's interesting to note that the Highway Patrol also had a homicide office, because there were so damn many…

Chapter 540

by karlmaks — Charlie booked a two-dollar-a-night room. It had a bathroom and hot water. In the wilderness, a motel was like an oasis in the desert for many long-distance travelers, including professional truck drivers. Not only could they get a short rest here, but they could also relax a bit with the girls who worked here, resolving the physiological exhaustion and desires that came with long-distance driving. This small oasis brought hope and stability to everyone traveling this highway. "Well, this is my…

Chapter 539

by karlmaks — Charlie chose a table in the motel restaurant that faced the main entrance and had the small kitchen door behind him. After being a cop for decades, many things were deeply ingrained in his bones. No matter who came in through the main entrance, he would see them immediately. But at the same time, no matter who came in, it would take them about fifteen meters to reach his table. The briefcase he had placed on the table was plated with steel on both sides. It had no combination lock and could be…

Chapter 538

by karlmaks — "Have any of you heard any news?" On the lawn of a large villa in the Bay Area, several gentlemen were sitting, enjoying the beauty of spring. The gentle sea breeze no longer carried the grimness of winter or its biting cold, only a tenderness full of life. It's hard to find an exact word to describe the wind blowing at this moment, but it was gentle, like the hands of a young matron. The hands of little girls are either too light or too heavy; only those of young matrons have just the right…

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…
