Chapter 523

by karlmaks — Since seeing the newspaper this morning, the mayor hadn't touched the other half of his breakfast. He just sat dumbly in his dining room chair, gazing at the blue sky and the distant horizon outside the living room's floor-to-ceiling windows. He had remained this way for a considerable time, perhaps almost an hour. The secretary felt he was thinking or something and did not disturb him. It wasn't until nearly nine o'clock that a sigh was heard. The mayor finally moved his body and left the dining…

Chapter 522

by karlmaks — The atmosphere inside the police car was heavy. To avoid being tailed, Hunter hadn't even driven his own car. The shape, color, and even the license plate number of that car had long been memorized by some people, and it wasn't a particular secret. As long as a few people were arranged to watch outside the police station, they would definitely see his car coming and going. To prevent this from being known and discovered by Lance, he had specially changed into a formal police uniform in the…

Chapter 521

by karlmaks — Hunter was a veteran detective. He knew how a person would react when their innermost secrets were exposed; he had encountered this situation many times. When he discovered the things that suspects were desperately trying to hide and then presented them to their faces, their expressions were exactly the same as Nate's just now. Fuck! Son of a bitch! A smile appeared on Hunter's face. He patted Nate's shoulder and then put his arm around him. "But I didn't believe what this person said. You…

Chapter 520

by karlmaks — In the evening, Ponda returned home. After resting for a while, he made a phone call to Lance. The call was quickly answered. "What do you plan to do next?" Ponda asked, smoking in his study. Today, the Bureau of Hazardous Materials also began interrogating the captured bar operators. Some of them were also subjected to torture, but the results were equally poor. But coincidentally, Ponda was in charge of the main interrogation work. Because everyone knew that he and the Lance Family did not…

by karlmaks — The moment the door closed, Nate noticed Hunter picking up the phone again. It was clear he was swamped. Nate's heart, which had been pounding, gradually calmed down. He went to the interrogation room his office was in charge of. The two officers conducting the interrogation immediately stood up. "Chief..." Nate waved his hand. "Did you get anything out of him?" The man sitting in the chair looked extremely tired. Although he had a brief respite when the police were resting, it was far from…

Chapter 518

by karlmaks — All night, Nate couldn't get any proper rest. He lay on the living room sofa, thinking about what Director Bruce had told him. He had to admit one thing: his good classmate had very unique views on many issues, and he had also shown him a higher level of gamesmanship and struggle. The defeated mayoral faction—he had once asked Director Bruce, "How can you be sure you can become the new chief?" Then he said that Lance had already taken care of the mayor. As long as Hunter was finished, the mayor…

Chapter 517

by karlmaks — "Is there anything I can help with?" Director Bruce's attitude was now very humble. He knew very well that if Lance was fine, then he would be fine too. If something happened to Lance, he would likely be immediately purged after Lance's fall. The fact that Charlie and Hunter weren't making a move on him now didn't mean he was safe. It just meant they hadn't gotten around to it yet, or perhaps that the "tall man Lance" was still shielding him from the pressure. Charlie and Hunter had long viewed…

Chapter 554

by karlmaks — In the room, everyone seemed a little excited. A smart and wise leader could bring a gang not only a higher reputation but also make the gang members safer. Under this surprise attack, the Keane family had almost no power to fight back. The morning's assassination of several cadres who could get clear information had only made them shrink the power of their cadres. They probably hadn't even discussed clearly how to deal with this sudden attack, and then their bars were also attacked when they…

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 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…
