Chapter 593

by karlmaks — In truth, Lance didn't know how much money that Mr. Thurray owed him. He didn't care about that. The extra was a punishment for him. If an apology and compensation for losses were useful, why would the Federation need so many courts and prosecutors? This was a punishment to make him not dare to do it again next time. Of course, there was a high probability that he wouldn't have a next time. "I hear there was already a movie with a box office of several million?" Lance seemed to have heard someone…

Chapter 592

by karlmaks — After almost everyone had left, Senator Cleveland called Lance and Tom to his reception room. The study was a very special place. Before Lance had shown that he could be taken seriously by Senator Cleveland, be seen as an equal, it was unlikely that he would be allowed into his study. The reception room was actually not bad either, with a few sofas, a small bar, and a very nice environment. "You heard what we were just talking about. I have a few things to explain to you." Senator Cleveland…

Chapter 591

by karlmaks — Congress isn't actually in New Golden City; it's just close by. And since New Golden City has developed so well, the gentlemen are all willing to live there. So over time, New Golden City has accumulated a large number of congressional offices. Coupled with its proximity to Congress, people sometimes think that Congress is in New Golden City. In fact, the federal government has no intention of explaining these things to the public, because to this day, a portion of the population still doesn't…

Chapter 590

by karlmaks — "Lance. My name is Lance." Mr. Thurray's eyebrows furrowed together. Countless memories were dug out from the depths of his mind, stirred, just to find this name. After a while, he shook his head. "I'm sorry, Mr. Lance. I haven't heard of your name." He moved forward a little, raised his right hand, and made a gesture of refusal. "But, whether your name is Lance or something else, it doesn't matter." "This is not a place for you to find trouble." Mr. Thurray's raised palm came back down, and…

Chapter 589

by karlmaks — In the study of Senator Cleveland's villa, Senator Cleveland washed his face and then sat down opposite Lance. It was clear that washing his face hadn't completely sobered him up, but he was a little better than when he had first come in. "Sorry, I had a few drinks tonight!" he explained his current poor state. This was not a good state to be in when meeting a guest, although Lance was not a guest on equal footing with him in terms of status or other aspects. The upbringing and education he had…

Chapter 588

by karlmaks — The ringing of the phone made Mr. Thurray shift his gaze from the news to the somewhat old-fashioned, deep red telephone. He put down the newspaper in his hand, took off his glasses, and picked up the phone. "This is the Colgan Theater Management Company. I am Thurray." Mr. Thurray was the president of the Colgan Theater Management Company, a family-owned business. Mr. Thurray's grandfather had built the first movie theater. At that time, the novelty of movies attracted many curious people,…

Chapter 587

by karlmaks — Watching the young man pack as much of the leftover food as he could into the brown paper bag, Lance had a hint of anticipation on his smiling face. "You have high hopes for this young man?" Elvin asked. Given their current age, it wasn't strange to refer to this boy as a "young man." Lance nodded, then shook his head. "Once the federal government forms a military alliance with Slad, more refugees will pour in here." He turned to look at Elvin, then at the others behind him. "Why did we 'stand…

Chapter 586

by karlmaks — The city was seeing more and more refugees, all of whom had fled to the Federation during the war. They were scattered across different regions, and even Golden State had seen a considerable number of them. The arrival of refugees was a heavy blow to small cities with little development potential. Mr. President, in order to solve some problems, had recognized the legality of refugee work. This meant that employers did not need refugees to have work permits or prove that they were legal immigrants. As…

Chapter 585

by karlmaks — In the conference room of the Presidential Palace in Golden State, the President and several senators were seated together. In truth, the President didn't much like sitting with these people. Because of the last election, he felt he had been abandoned. If he hadn't come up with a last-minute trick to solve those problems, he might already be retired. He disliked these senators who didn't support him, but he had to sit with them because the matter of war, whether to participate or not, ultimately…

Chapter 584

by karlmaks — From Lance's perspective, the operating style of the Golden Port Casino was still a bit too conservative. Of course, this wasn't to say Bandy was incompetent. Some states still considered gambling to be illegal, so they might have been a bit more conservative in their promotions. For someone trying to whitewash their image, they didn't necessarily have to be excellent, but they absolutely could not afford to offend too many people. But from the perspective of a modern person like Lance, these…
