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 536

by karlmaks — The collection of evidence on the police force's corruption was progressing quickly, much faster than Lance and Prosecutor Dean had imagined. Under Charlie's management, the judicial system of Golden Port had long ago clumped together like wet flour, sticking firmly together. You are in me, and I am in you. Perhaps in the past, someone had tried to report it or do something similar to seek justice. But the final result was not necessarily a good one. Their attempt to have Charlie and his group…

by karlmaks — The next morning, when Ponda got up, the maid had already arrived and made breakfast. Due to her pregnancy, Lisa often couldn't get up in the morning. After Ponda finished his breakfast, he asked the maid to take extra care of Lisa, gave her an additional two dollars as a reward, and then quickly left home. Becoming the director was very meaningful, although he couldn't achieve it now. The wealthy people of the Bay Area couldn't possibly not drink. As long as he burst in while they were drinking,…

by karlmaks — Lance listened intently as Roben the lawyer discussed the specifics of the case. He wasn't very clear on the developments at the Bureau of Hazardous Materials. Roben stated frankly, "You know, I have some connections at the Department of Justice." Lance's case in New Golden City was also handled with Roben's help. He found a lawyer he had a good relationship with to handle the lawsuit there for Lance, and at the same time, he pulled some strings at the Department of Justice. Judicial fairness in…

Chapter 533

by karlmaks — Charlie sat in his chair, leaning forward, his head in his hands, rubbing his cheeks. Since when had he... become like this? Scenes of past memories flashed through his mind. In his memories, he was full of longing to be a guardian of justice, and he became a police officer, a profession that people were not particularly enthusiastic about and was very dangerous. When he first joined the police force, he believed that being a police officer was a very glorious job. His job should be to fight crime…

by karlmaks — With a clang, the office door was shoved open. Behind the desk, Chief Bruce put down his work and looked up at Charlie walking in from outside. His secretary stood by the door, a look of helplessness and grievance on her face. "I told him..." Before she could finish, Chief Bruce waved his hand. "Bring a cup of coffee, and close the door on your way out." The secretary bowed slightly and closed the door. Chief Bruce motioned for Charlie to sit. "You should have called me first and come over when I…

by karlmaks — The sudden "arrest" and the cold muzzle of the gun pressed against his forehead left the chief of the Creek Valley precinct drenched in sweat. His two subordinates had just stood up before they were disarmed. The clerk did not scream. In this era, if you hadn't experienced a few armed robberies—whether it was a gang robbing you or a patrol officer passing by looking for some pocket money—it would be abnormal. Being robbed, watching others being robbed—this was something everyone at the…

by karlmaks — Half an hour later, Dean met Lance at a small wooden cabin by Angel Lake. He had actually only been in Golden Port for a little over two weeks. The state government had been thinking about investigating corruption in the Golden Port police force since the second half of last year. But ideas are often just ideas, especially in government agencies. Turning an idea into reality is not an easy task, and it also involves the issue of Golden Port's transfer of benefits to the state and even to…

Chapter 529

by karlmaks — Making friends, in fact, is not simple at all. If a beggar wants to befriend a prince, it is highly likely that the prince will feel that the beggar is insulting him and will order his guards to kill the beggar. For people to become friends, they need an equal relationship. This is not to say that both parties should ignore their background, status, or other things, but that their "value" should be roughly the same. If a local gang leader came to give a solid gold baseball bat to the Attorney…

by karlmaks — The mayor was in a good mood now. He was flipping through the newspaper in his hands, but his attention was clearly not on it. From time to time, he would raise his head to look at the clock, as if something related to time was firmly holding his attention. Seeing that the time was already 3:20, the mayor folded the newspaper in his hands and placed it on the table beside him. "Speaking of which, that... what's-his-name... should have already arrived at the police station, right?" The secretary…
