by karlmaks — The whole affair last time had alarmed the company headquarters' board of directors. Besides earning a huge amount less in profit, they had also fired some of the people from the evaluation department. This was clearly due to these staff members' insufficiently detailed observation of future agricultural product price trends, inaccurate assessments, and insufficiently bold deductions! If they had known from the beginning that the price of grapes was going to skyrocket, would they have encountered so…

by karlmaks — The police cars arrived quickly, because it was a well-known person who had called the police. The police looked around the hole opened in the ice and found no other unusual circumstances. "There's a water net below. There should be some findings." A firefighter had discovered the water net. The purpose of the water net was actually to filter out some large solid garbage. In fact, doing so could not greatly improve the environment. But people believed this. They believed that installing a few…

by karlmaks — In the afternoon, downtown, at Basil Investment Bank, on the most bustling and prosperous street, the huge gold-plated sign shone with golden light under the sun's rays! Since Basil Investment Bank arrived here, it had created a lot of news for "Golden Port Today." They initially said their sign was made of gold. Then someone came in the middle of the night to steal the sign above the door and was injured by the falling sign. One of his legs was broken, but he endured the pain of the fracture and,…

by karlmaks — In the morning, just as Lance sat down in the dining room, Elvin brought some bad news. "The price of liquor has dropped a bit." Lance asked while eating his bacon, "What's the reason?" "Has Prohibition been relaxed?" "Or something else?" Elvin sat down next to him, also picking up a piece of bread. While adding things to it, he said, "The distilleries have all started to reopen, but they're not producing liquor, they're producing medicinal alcohol." "But you know... as long as the…

by karlmaks — Lance jumped down from the truck and stood in the middle of the crowd. Workers continuously came over to greet him. With yesterday's developments, the story of Lance helping them fight against the gangsters had spread completely. The lower a person is on the social ladder, the less educated and cultured they are, the simpler their reaction is to the matter of "someone being good to me." To put it simply, if someone is suddenly very good to a person from the bottom of society, that person will only…

Chapter 392

by karlmaks — The matter of the police collecting money didn't originally start with the police actively collecting it, but with the operators actively giving it. The rate of gang turnover was too fast. So much so that you could pay a protection fee in the morning, and by the afternoon, that gang would be finished. Then the new gang that took over would demand that all the shops in the area pay again. No one could withstand such a hassle. In an era when the police could still stop evil, people could only place…

by karlmaks — "I heard you had a little problem over there." William stood facing the full-length mirror while Emily helped him adjust his clothes. These were all clothes personally made by the old tailor, fitting him perfectly. Although the old tailor was not yet famous in the Federation... But he was indeed capable, otherwise the nobles would not wear the clothes he made. William, carefully groomed in the mirror, looked as if he were several years younger. He looked at Lance through the mirror. Lance…

by karlmaks — "Mr. Lance, I know this is asking too much, but we're really out of options." An old man, who looked to be in his fifties, stood before Lance. His back, bent by life and this recent blow, made him look not so well. He was very thin and wore a gray cap. "I no longer have the ability to work. I've been looking for a job recently, but... no one is willing to hire me." "All my life savings were in the bank. I could have lived on those savings, but now..." His voice choked as he spoke, "I've lost…

by karlmaks — A thin mist had surprisingly risen on the sea at night. Compared to the surprise of Lance and his group, McCock and his men seemed much calmer. Having seen it for decades, they had long since gotten used to it. The sound of the waves attacked their nerves day and night, accompanying this treacherous and ever-changing yet season-in-and-out sea. Many people who don't often see the sea always have a feeling of being refreshed when they come to the sea, as if the space between heaven and earth has…

by karlmaks — The manager stood upstairs, holding the phone and looking at the growing crowd below. He dialed the dockworkers' union again, but Vaughn still wasn't there. "Damn it, he disappears whenever he's needed. Are we paying them all that money every year just to support a bunch of people like this?" The manager slammed the receiver back onto the phone's base. With his hands on his hips, he paced back and forth by the window, his eyes fixed on the swelling crowd of workers below. From his vantage point,…
