Chapter 193 Showdown at the Bottom Line
“Nice, Kane. Right on time for work.” He raised an eyebrow and smirked. “Every time a new director takes office, you’re the first one they call in. You’ve got quite the pull.”Kane stood up abruptly, staring straight at him, his voice sharp and icy. “No matter how much pull I have, it can’t compare to people who rush to curry favor and pledge loyalty at every chance.”Jude’s face froze.Ignoring him, Kane turned and headed straight for the director’s office.He stepped inside and pulled the door shut behind him, speaking briefly. “Director, you wanted to see me?”“Sit.” Harrington tilted his chin.Kane sat down, folded his hands in front of him, and waited quietly.“You’ve made plenty of enemies within the department and out on Black Street.” Harrington closed the thick case file in his hands, picked up his teacup and took a small sip. His tone was calm, yet heavy with pressure.“I’ve always followed regulations and stuck to my duties. I never went out of my way to offend anyone.” Kan
Chapter 192 The Reckoning of Power
From reward money of tens of thousands to this hefty half-million, the more than tenfold difference silently proved how drastically his influence over Black Street had grown. Yet Kane knew full well that his status and weight had never been built on cash. It was the backing from top figures Cole and Ingram, the blood and sacrifice of hundreds of brothers from Dreg Street, and the unwavering loyalty of his subordinates at the Black Street Police Department that had carved out this foothold for him.He knew exactly where his roots lay, and what he could take, and what he must never touch.After a short silence, Kane closed the leather case. The latches clicked softly, putting an end to this monetary bargain. He met Kennard’s gaze, his tone calm yet resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.“Mr. Kennard, this money carries too much weight. I cannot take it.”Kennard’s brows tightened, his smile fading a little. His voice carried an undertone of persuasion. “With your skills and standing
Chapter 191 Money Opens Doors
“I will never accept this partnership.” Kane cut him off outright, his tone firm and unyielding. “If you insist on striking a deal with them, I’ll step away from everything related to this drug route. Let Cruz and Pierce handle all the follow-up work.”Cole’s brows drew tight as he took in Kane’s uncompromising stance. He softened his tone. “Go home and clear your head first. I’ll weigh the pros and cons again, and we can talk another day.”Burning with suppressed frustration, Kane said nothing more and turned to leave at once.Cole stood rooted to the spot with his hands clasped behind his back, watching Kane’s resolute retreating figure. His brows stayed furrowed, dark undercurrents swirling in his eyes, his thoughts deep and unfathomable....Several luxury cars pulled up smoothly at the hotel entrance. Sira and her group carried their luggage and walked into the lobby in order.Cruz glanced at the unfamiliar young man beside Sira and asked casually, “And who’s this?”The young man
Chapter 190 Sacrifice of Interests | Breaking Point and Money Enters the Game
"First off, on the surface, our product will flow into Kaiyuan for now, but we need to be clear: we don’t hold control over this market. Kennard can cut our cooperation at any second. Our people will never get to meddle in the day-to-day operations inside Kaiyuan District. So how can you say he’s handing the market over to us?" Kane laid out his reasoning sharply. "Second, this supply business didn’t get this far because of one man’s effort. A whole group of people built it risking their lives — Duke, Richie, Little Thailand, the officers on the team… and Brown and the rest. Think of the price we’ve paid, inside and out! We finally fought our way to a voice on the streets, and Kennard didn’t lift a finger through all of it. Now he wants to take over the supply line and pocket eighty percent of the profits. What will the rest of our people think? Putting distant concerns aside, take Pierce. He’s been running himself ragged all this time and only gets a little over ten percent of the ne
Chapter 189 Power Reshuffle and the Showdown Over Boundaries
Kane lifted his gaze, his eyes steady and forthright, his tone resolute. “No one can do this job better than me in Black Street.”Harrington froze slightly, reassessing the young man before him, his voice still cold and unyielding. “I am not Ingram, nor am I Cole. I will not indulge anyone. I hope your confidence matches your ability. Be present at tomorrow’s morning assembly. No absences permitted.”A flicker of resistance rose inside Kane. The man’s condescending attitude was far too obvious. Yet the gap in rank was undeniable, so he suppressed his feelings and replied. “Understood.”“Compile an extremely detailed full report covering all case files of Oakley and Ellington. Label every step, every piece of evidence, and the entire procedure one by one. Hand it to me in person at tomorrow’s morning meeting.” Harrington issued the firm order.Kane’s expression shifted slightly, his voice tinged with helplessness. “Director, these two cases have extremely long chains, involving countle
Chapter 188 A New Chief Establishes Authority
At the same time, at the South Curtain District Council.Cole quickly wrapped up his official work and left after changing clothes. Forty minutes later, he arrived at an upscale private club in the city and walked straight into the on-site gym.A young man with a crew cut had just stepped off the treadmill. He raised a hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, his aura cold and steady.The young man spoke. "Uncle Cole, do you still keep up with training?""I hardly have the time." Cole casually sat down on the sofa. "Moving around from place to place counts as my workout.""I'll talk to the club later and get you a lifetime membership." The young man bent down to sit on the floor, leaning his back against the sofa, his tone calm. "Come over to work out or get massages when you’re free. It’ll restore your energy. Uncle, rub my shoulders and neck for me. They’re so tight."Cole rolled up his sleeves and pressed his fingers into the muscles of the young man’s neck, taking the chance to a
