Chapter 664: It’s Easy to Watch Others

by karlmaks — About twenty or thirty minutes after Mayor Williams had left his office, the phone on his desk suddenly rang. James, who was sitting on the sofa thinking about something, turned his head sharply towards the phone. He squinted his eyes slightly and, after it had rung twice, stood up, walked over, and picked it up. It had rung seven or eight times in total. If it weren't for a call that absolutely had to reach the mayor, the person on the other end of the line would probably have hung up after the…

Chapter 663: A Smart Method

by karlmaks — When a kidnapper is asked how to prove that the person they have kidnapped is the person I am looking for, the answer is actually not that complicated. With Arthur's screams coming from the receiver in the distance, Mayor Williams clenched his fists so tightly that you could even hear the sound of his skin rubbing together! James nodded with anger on his face. It was Arthur's voice. Mayor Williams could also confirm this. After all, he was a child who had grown up by his side. He could even…

Chapter 662: Father-Son Talk and Conflict

by karlmaks — The atmosphere in the city was a bit gloomy. People didn't know what was happening, but they could feel that the raindrops were already pattering down. Hitting the ground, hitting the puddles, and also hitting people's faces. The feeling of walking in a heavy rain, with dark clouds covering the sky and making the world seem like night, was particularly terrible. Mayor Williams's gaze returned from the window outside. He had already received the full news that Lance had sent people to the school to…

Chapter 661: Swift Disposal

by karlmaks — The office door was suddenly knocked on. Hiram, who was chewing gum, drew the handgun from his holster. He stood on the side of the wall by the door— This was a bloody lesson. In past battles, everyone had discovered that if you were inside a room and someone knocked or asked a question, the mortality rate for answering from behind the door was very high! When encountering gunmen who had come with orders to kill, they wouldn't play any games of "open the door first" or "shoot first." As…

Chapter 660: Apology and Gunshots.

by karlmaks — Twenty-some cars headed towards the Creek Valley District, which inevitably alarmed some people. Besides Lance's men, there were also some police cars following them. All of this indicated that something big was about to happen. But whether it was people like Mayor Williams or those in the Bay Area, for a time they couldn't figure out what Lance was up to. With limited intelligence, they could only wait for the outcome. This made some people feel a sense of panic. For how many years had the…

Chapter 659: There are Unruly People

by karlmaks — In a person's life, there will always be a moment, a dazzling ray of sunlight that illuminates a period of that life, even if it's just for an instant! Loraine looked directly into Lance's eyes, her own welling with tears, so much so that Lance appeared blurry and indistinct to her. "I didn't take it!" "I have never taken anything that belongs to anyone else!" She almost cried it out, the sense of grievance in her heart like a bursting flood, and large tears rolled down her cheeks. A sensitive…

Chapter 658: A Bad Plan and It’s Not That I’m a Coward

by karlmaks — The speed of things developing was too fast. Many things might have to be redeployed. After Mr. Hoff left, Richie gave Joshua a call and briefly explained the situation here. When he heard that Mr. Hoff had already run away and that the situation was not very optimistic, he couldn't help but frown. At this very moment, he had an indescribable "telepathy." He felt that they would not get the result they wanted this time! This kind of telepathy didn't appear often, but when it did, it was very…

Chapter 657: Absconding and Curiosity

by karlmaks — When Chief Bruce received the interrogation from Mayor Williams, a visible layer of sweat broke out on his forehead. He could no longer sit still, standing by his desk and clutching the receiver. "Should I... know something?" After hearing him, Mayor Williams shook his head slightly. This was another fool. But on second thought, for Lance, and even for himself, a fool or a smart person really made no difference. As a tool, whether it could achieve good results depended entirely on its user, not on…

Chapter 656

by karlmaks — Mr. Hoff vigorously rubbed his wrinkled face with both hands. Interestingly, although his face had wrinkles, compared to the faces of the homeless people outside, it was still soft despite the lines. Supplementing with enough nutrients every day kept his physical condition much better than that of ordinary people, but this didn't make him any better than ordinary people when facing trouble. He couldn't even bring himself to curse. He wanted to pick up his coffee and take a sip to wet his throat,…
