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 won, hahaha, I won!" he laughed as he slammed his cards on the table. His excitement made him ignore the fact that the people around him weren't looking at him, but at what was behind him. He reached out to rake in the money on the table, only to see that the people at the table had abandoned even their money boxes and turned to flee. It was then that he turned his head to look at the roadside. In that process, he could feel something he couldn't describe calling to him, as if he had suddenly…

by karlmaks — "Lance!" "Come over here!" Councilman Williams stood in the crowd, beckoning to him. It wasn't convenient for Senator Cleveland to have a close conversation with Lance, but Councilman Williams didn't care at all. He didn't plan on going to Congress, nor did he intend to stand under a magnifying glass to be scrutinized by the entire nation, and even the world. In this corner of Golden Port, no one could stop him now, so he didn't care if people talked about him being with someone like Lance…

by karlmaks — "I'm a little nervous!" Patricia squeezed Lance's hand, her palm slick with sweat. Lance soothed her from the side, "William and Emily will be here soon too. Besides, you should know many people here. There's nothing to be nervous about." Patricia looked at him, "But that's a senator!" "My God, do you have any idea how shocking this is for me?" "I'm actually going to a party that a senator is attending. God, I'm going crazy!" She was indeed going crazy, and Lance was about to go crazy too,…

by karlmaks — In the morning, Mador returned from the docks with a few men. Lance received them in the open space behind his office. He and two of them then went into the office together. "These are all my former comrades-in-arms. Luigi was personally taken care of by them." He handed several photos to Lance, including a newspaper. For a small country like the Aldra Republic, the death of a foreigner was definitely not a big deal. There are always people in this world who don't believe in evil. You tell…

by karlmaks — "Beno?" Alan, looking at Beno leaning against the panel van smoking, called his name several times, but he didn't respond. He peeked his head out and saw that he seemed to be daydreaming. He walked over and knocked on the side of the van next to him, which gave him a big scare. "Fu—what's wrong?" The cigarette in his hand slipped from his grasp, and he focused his attention on not letting it fall on his clothes. After two or three seconds, the cigarette butt sparked on the ground and was…

by karlmaks — Just after walking out of the cemetery, Lance let out a soft sigh. A teenage boy having to bear the heavy responsibility of leading a family, this was too... He didn't know what to say. From a rational point of view, this was clearly the wrong choice. Francisco was too young. His grandfathers, uncles, and aunts were in their prime and very powerful. This would lead the Pasoretto Family to a more desolate decline, and it would be very difficult to reverse. People were willing to listen to Paul…

by karlmaks — The ringing of the telephone made the gentlemen in the room pause for a moment. Edward's father glanced at him. He walked to the desk and picked up the phone, "This is the Dock Management General Company." The Dock Management Company was actually a collective term. Under it were the Dock Warehouse Management Company, the Dock Transport Management Company, the Dock Site Leasing Company, and so on. Basically, most of the industries at the Golden Port docks were managed by the Dock Management…

Chapter 384

by karlmaks — As it turns out, after people with technical skills flee to other countries, their skills and craftsmanship don't bring them much of a change. At least, not at the beginning. Lance now had a locksmith who, according to his own boasts, could open any lock, it was just a matter of time. There was also a deaf man. This deaf man couldn't hear any sound, but he could speak, though his pronunciation was a bit off, not as clear and natural as an ordinary person's. His ears were originally fine when he…
