Chapter 125 Internal Strife II
"I can’t explain that," Finnegan said, his tone sour.Jason’s face darkened. "Boss Oakley wants everyone pushing the drug routes full tilt. We all need to pull together."Finnegan shot back outright. "The boys work round-the-clock shifts moving product up and down the streets. We can’t kick down ordinary people’s doors and force the stuff on them.""Let’s talk this through properly. There’s no need to pick a fight."Finnegan stared straight at him. "Me picking a fight? I’m more eager than anyone to move stock and earn money. Do you think I’m not frustrated by slow sales?"Jason stood to his feet. "Can’t even take a little criticism now? Have you lot stopped answering to authority?"......Stairwell at the PrecinctKane stepped into the quiet corridor and made a call.A low male voice crackled over the receiver. "You’re looking for me?"Kane offered a faint smile. "Is that Brown?"......Finnegan glanced up at Jason, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You’re Oakley’s golden boy these da
Chapter 124 Internal Strife I
"Quit pretending. We all know each other well enough." Cruz forced the item into Kane’s hand, then hurried away supporting Zala.Kane glanced down at the wrapper, let out a faint smile, pushed open the bar door and headed straight for Booth 209.Inside, Raven sprawled messily across the sofa, yelling into a microphone.Kane stepped over and snatched the mic away. "Quit caterwauling."Flushed all over, Raven looked up at him and grinned. "You made it, buddy.""Who were you drinking with? This isn’t like you normally.""I drink when I feel like it." Raven tossed her hair and burped from the alcohol.Kane glanced around the booth and asked casually. "Such a big booth. Were there lots of people here?""Sure thing, seven or eight guys." Raven’s eyes glinted mischievously.Kane’s expression darkened. "Then why didn’t they drive you home? Why call me?"Raven burst out laughing. "Oh, are you jealous?""Get up right now.""I’m messing with you. It was only Zala and me. There weren’t any small
Chapter 123 The Slim Version
"My proposal: take the initiative to ease tensions with Kane, pull out of the drug trade for the time being, and let Wade and Kane tear each other apart. We stop being the ones out front.""Do you know what you’re saying?" The middle-aged man shot to his feet."I know exactly what I’m saying."The man snarled. "That’s nonsense!" "If we abandon the drug route, our ties with the Vigilante Coalition will fall apart, and the human trafficking business can’t restart. Can a handful of your gambling dens support all of us?""Once we step back, Wade will become the main target of the confrontation. When those two sides throw everything into fighting each other, our position will become crucial. If we get mixed up in this now, we’ll only scrape together petty gains—nothing more than cannon fodder for others. Do you really think Wade will hand over profits for nothing?"Oakley’s face turned livid. "Are you accusing me?""We can make money in the short term, but the cost keeps rising. Salem got
Chapter 122 Bad Blood Between Allies
"Infrastructure plans for South Curtain District will be announced soon. I will coordinate closely with the Construction Department. The favor I owe you today will be repaid through your cousin down the line."Hewitt stared in surprise, realizing Cole had already dug up information about him. The two clinked their glasses once more.Kane watched the whole exchange, filled with genuine admiration. He could only plan one or two steps ahead, yet Cole thought five, six steps further and beyond.Holt’s impulsive revenge had satisfied his rage, but without Cole smoothing things over and covering their backs at the higher levels, they would never survive for long. Still, the relationship worked both ways. Cole needed men like him and Holt—bold, aggressive operatives—to carve out territory. Only by relying on each other could they hold their ground.When the banquet ended, Hewitt instructed his subordinates inside the vehicle. "Stay clear of Oakley and Wade from now on."The scene shifts outs
Chapter 121 The Deal
Cole waved a hand. "Enough, drop the act.""When do we leave for the meeting?" Kane asked.Cole let out a faint laugh. "Wait a little longer. Let them stew in anxiety."At four in the afternoon, Cole headed to an upscale restaurant in Novara alongside Kane and Cruz to wait. While they waited, Cruz spoke to Kane in a low voice."I’ve nearly wrapped up my intel on Oakley’s network. When do we make our move?""We strike right after we settle this current dispute. Oakley is nothing more than a scapegoat put forward by Wade. Black Street will never know peace unless we eliminate him."Worry crossed Cruz’s face. "A full truckload of goods was lost. How’s Crow City reacting?""We’ve caused one problem after another for Crow City lately, but Sira’s been fairly straightforward. She reprimanded me a little, yet she turned a blind eye to the hijacking and agreed to cover part of the losses. I owe her for that."Cruz teased him. "Even though Sira is a woman, she acts more decisively than many men
Chapter 120 Full-Scale Clash Between Military and Police
Meanwhile, upstairs.Kane made an urgent call to verify the facts. He learned that Cruz had taken the training uniform from the trunk of his car without permission a few days earlier. Everything clicked into place at once. He quickly stopped Cruz, who was about to stroll downstairs, and laid out the entire plan in a few concise sentences.Moments later, Kane and Cruz walked side by side out into the hall. Seeing them, the Deputy Director immediately announced to everyone outside, "The man you’ve been looking for is here."The Battalion Commander and Carson looked up simultaneously.Cruz sauntered forward casually, pulled out his ID badge to confirm his identity, and said calmly, "I signed the paperwork. What about it?"A buzzing sound filled Carson’s head, and he froze on the spot. The man’s height, build and bearing were nothing like the assailant he had fought the previous night.Before Carson could collect his wits, Cruz simply took off his jacket and lifted his sweater, openly exp
