by karlmaks — In the evening, Lance's car was parked outside William's villa. He and Emily were already waiting for him at the door. After hugging them both, William said with some embarrassment, "They knew you were coming, so they came along too." Although he said it was a bit embarrassing, Lance saw Emily's face glowing with radiance! She was a vain woman, there was no doubt about that, but Lance didn't think there was anything wrong with that. Everyone has their own thoughts and personality, and they need…

Chapter 578

by karlmaks — The new office had excellent soundproofing. The moment the door was closed, it completely isolated the inside from the outside. Not a single sound could get out, nor could any get in. About ten minutes later, these several traitors from the Kodak family left, satisfied. Lance couldn't even be bothered to see them off. Elvin asked with some curiosity, "After they've finished their work, do we need to... dispose of them?" The meaning of them sitting here just now was nothing more than hoping to…

Chapter 577

by karlmaks — This was the first time for many people to enter the Golden Port Casino. In the beginning, they had no money. Forget about coming in to see the sights; they couldn't even get through the main door. All those who run casinos are not fools. Don't be fooled by the fact that the Golden Port Casino's shuttle buses are constantly soliciting customers at the port and even give out free chips to these tourists who have just arrived. These are all part of a design. In this era, people who can travel to…

Chapter 576

by karlmaks — Bandy's silencing in the police station was not concealed by Chief Bruce; he disclosed the matter to the public directly. Although it brought about much discussion, as the police chief, as long as the mayor did not decide to remove him, his power would not be shaken. The mayor would not remove him. The mayor and Lance had other deals, and he was about to lose his own authority soon. Once he lost the power in his hands, some of the "counter-trend" things he was doing now might come back to haunt…

Chapter 575

by karlmaks — After parking the car, the police officer sat in the driver's seat in a daze for a while before finally walking into the police station. Someone greeted him, and he responded with a smile, just as he did every day. He arrived at his desk, took out a rag, and carefully wiped everything on it. During this time, he also chatted with a colleague for a while. Because he had taken leave during the day, he would be here all night tonight. During the first half of the night, everyone still had…

Chapter 573

by karlmaks — The Kodak Family had been served up on a platter. Previously, this concept hadn't been so... clear and distinct to Bandy. But as the situation continued to develop, those who were supposed to be his "support" and "protective umbrella" all began to tell him they were powerless. It wasn't that they were truly powerless; it was just that they had discovered the delightful aroma emanating from their good friend. The scent wafting from the plump, interest-laden Kodak Family made them salivate…

by karlmaks — In the room, Lance sat opposite Bandy, the two of them looking at each other. Of course, there was no sweet atmosphere here, but the air wasn't explosive either. The meeting between the two was much more peaceful than others had imagined. Lance crossed his legs, nodded slightly, and answered the question Bandy had just asked, "Yes, it's just as you said." "The Kodak Family and you have grown up with the most important thirty years of this city. You and a certain part of it are highly…

Chapter 572

by karlmaks — Feeling the violent vibration of the main gate, Gorry quickly pushed some of the surrounding furniture to block the door from behind. He didn't use his own body to block it, because he wasn't sure if the people outside would open fire. The sound of him moving things alerted the people outside the room, and the rhythm and force of their ramming became stronger. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the sniper. "How much longer?" The sniper didn't answer his question. He was waiting,…
