Chapter 516

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…

Chapter 515

by karlmaks — "Forty minutes ago, the gate was still open." A large contingent of police officers disembarked from their patrol cars. Hunter offered a simple explanation. In truth, he didn't need to explain, but he did anyway. It was all because of the damn judicial process. He had overlooked the option of having Director Dale help him obtain the legal documents, instead thinking of applying for them himself through the justice department. He should have stayed here. Even if he was unwilling to admit it, at…

by karlmaks — In the morning, after laying out the day's work, Hunter left the police station with a file folder. As he drove, he pondered a question. Does Lance really not leave any evidence behind every time he does something? He didn't think so. Lance wasn't a god. Even if he were, he would still leave evidence. It was just that they hadn't found it. When he was studying at the police academy, the professor in charge of criminal investigation had also talked about this issue. There is no such thing as a…

by karlmaks — Motive is always the most crucial link in the judicial system. The police officer glanced at Ponda. He didn't find any issues with Ponda's demeanor or reactions. He didn't exhibit any unnatural behavior. He spoke fluently, thought when he needed to, and naturally showed embarrassment or displeasure when appropriate. At least, there were no problems during the initial review. In other words, until some of his important sensitive issues were found, he appeared very normal. So, the interrogator…

by karlmaks — Ponda staggered to his feet, falling several times. He felt that there was something wrong with his equilibrium. He was clearly standing, but his senses were telling him that the world was spinning. He instinctively tried to adjust his balance, only to end up falling to the ground. He looked back at the house, now a ruin, and at his colleagues trapped under the debris, their mouths opening and closing in agony, yet he couldn't hear a single sound. What the fuck, what happened? His mind was a…

Chapter 511

by karlmaks — In his office, Lance was handling the call from Ponda. He was indeed a bit surprised by the information Ponda provided, but it wasn't unreasonable. What he was curious about now was Ponda's attitude. He had been trying to win Ponda over, but Ponda hadn't been very receptive. He always remained just outside of Lance's control; he didn't want to be controlled by Lance. The most important thing in making friends is to be able to confide in each other. Lance turned to look at the blue sky outside…

by karlmaks — Bandy was very satisfied with Fleming's plan. This was how the heir to the Kodak Family should be, much better than he had imagined. Even Bandy himself probably couldn't have made a better decision. Sending him to an Ivy League college was indeed worth it, even if it cost a lot of money. Stone asked in a muffled voice, "What about all the money we lost?" "And Lance is so cunning. The Bureau of Hazardous Materials might not be able to crush him in one go." Everyone's attention was focused on…

by karlmaks — "Here's your money!" In the office, a man with slicked-back hair sat in a chair, holding a stack of cash. The man across from him had already stood up, his face wearing an obsequious expression, head bowed and back bent. The nameplate on the desk read "Pepe Finance Company." This was a loan shark company. Loan sharking was also illegal in the Federation, but many people, especially gangsters, were in the business. The profits from loan sharking were high, and the risks were low. Anyone with…

A meaningless phone call from the state capital. After Bandy hung up, he returned to the dining table. Gorry asked, "Why not let them help?" He had overheard a little of the conversation, but only a little. Bandy shook his head. "They can help us stand taller in the sunlight, but they can't help us fight in the darkness."
