Chapter 196. Manhunt and Lockup, Deadly Brawl in the Prison Yard
Kane looked at him, a flicker of warmth crossing his eyes, and asked quietly. “Where did you get those men?”Pierce pulled out a cigarette and replied. “A new crew of toughs from Dirt Slag Street. Their leader’s called Little Nantian.”“Tell them to lie low in Black Street for now and stay out of sight.” Kane gave quick instructions. “If the precinct moves to make arrests tomorrow, Hartley and the others will tip you off right away.”“Got it.”Kane raised a hand and clapped him on the shoulder, his tone low and steady. “We’ll get through this together.”Pierce nodded firmly.“Cruz, ride with me.” Kane called out. “We’re not heading back to Compound 88 tonight. You’re staying with me.”“Everyone disperse, go home and get some rest.” Cruz waved the others off, then hurried to climb into the car.The drive back was deathly quiet. Cruz smoked cigarette after cigarette, unable to contain his anxiety. He turned and spoke. “Jude had it coming, but this blew up way too big. How do we clean it
Chapter 195. Fight to the Bitter End
“Kane’s just far too naive.” Jude wore a look of utter disdain, his tone arrogant. “Does he really think Cole groomed him as a trusted confidant? From start to finish, he was nothing but a pawn for Cole to take down Oakley and Ellington. Once he’s no longer useful, he gets cast aside without a second thought.”He grew more smug, speaking without filter. “Cole stayed completely silent over this suspension, and that’s all the proof you need. When a pawn loses its value, you dump it. The new director was never on his side. Within six months, I’ll make sure he’s utterly disgraced at the Black Street Precinct. I’ve got connections with the inspectorate. Tonight’s just the opening act. Tomorrow I’ll file more evidence and crush him for good!”Kennard murmured quiet agreement, his eyes brimming with silent approval.Before he could finish speaking, heavy, steady footsteps suddenly thundered from downstairs.A dozen burly young men armed with baseball bats and short blades charged swiftly up
Chapter 194. Suppressed Outburst | Brawl at the Club and a Break with the Inner Circle
“Yeah.” Kane nodded, his tone icy. “I won’t agree. This supply line was built with every one of our lives on the line. Why should a bunch of people who did nothing reap the biggest reward? But Cole sees it differently. He thinks it’s the perfect springboard for his political career. Those guys have top-tier political connections to pave his way up the ladder.”Shira quickly pieced together the tangled web of interests. “So you and Cole are on opposite sides, fully at odds now?”“Yeah.” Kane replied, weariness and clarity hiding in his eyes. “Their ambition was never limited to just Kaiyuan District. They want total monopoly over the entire drug pipeline and cut all of us out of power.”Shira nodded slowly, her voice heavy. “If they can push Cole to cave, their rank and ambition are nothing to take lightly.”Kane took another gulp of strong liquor, his voice rough. “We spilled blood, lost men, made compromises, and fought tooth and nail to stabilize this territory. Before we even get a
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
