Carlson dreaded this exact moment. The second the officers stepped into the alley, they barked at him.“I’m not causing trouble!” Carlson threw his hands up at once and shouted.“Get on the ground!” The lead officer sized him up, noting his tattered clothes matching the protesters’, and shouted the order again.“I’m just passing through, honestly.”“Why run if you’re just passing through? Get down!”“Sir, I’m only a street vendor trying to make a living.” Carlson kept his hands raised high. “This has nothing to do with me.”“Take him away.” The lead officer signaled his partners.“Is this your vehicle?” another officer asked.Carlson’s heart sank. “Don’t touch my cart. I told you I didn’t join the protest.”“We’ll sort out your involvement back at the station.” The officer reached to grab his collar.The rest moved toward the electric tricycle.Carlson had a special population registration on file. Once taken into custody, he would have no way to defend himself. He hurried to yell, “S
Chapter 254 The Young Heir’s Predicament
“You drink and carouse with him, calling him your brother. Such a catastrophic event unfolds, yet you hear nothing of it. What in the world is going on inside your head?!”Shaking with rage, the father continued, “The supplier negotiations in Raven City fell apart — you didn’t know. The Young Master’s uncle was murdered — you didn’t know either. One phone call from him, and you foolishly wire over the money!”“Dad, I…”The father kicked Merceron hard in the lower back, his finger trembling as he pointed. “The fortune I built with my own hands is not for you to squander like this. Keep muddling along, and get out of Zone Seven. I never want to see you again.”Merceron hung his head, eyes red, fists clenched, and said not a word.“Get out.” The father roared toward the door.“Dad, don’t get so angry. I’ll look into everything right away and keep close track.” Not daring to meet his father’s gaze, Merceron made a quiet promise and fled the study in disgrace.The father let out a long wea
Chapter 253 The First Negotiation
“Are you also planning to help us build a factory in Novara?” The Third Uncle glanced at Sila, then pressed Kane for confirmation.“That’s right.” Kane nodded. “If we only aimed to seize ground-level distribution channels, my backer would never pour in such a huge sum of money.”The Third Uncle eyed him with doubt. “Are you confident you can stand toe-to-toe against the Young Master in Novara?”“Same point as before. If my backer lacked the strength to compete against him, would they sink this much upfront capital just to throw it away?” Kane replied steadily.The Third Uncle sank into thought.Kane added, “Sila and I agreed on this earlier. As long as the Rizzo family holds firm and keeps partnering with us, we will bear the full weight of all power plays unfolding in Novara. Once the situation stabilizes, you can bring your core team in to build the factory.”“Go on.” The Third Uncle gestured for him to continue.“Once the four million USD hits the account, we have two requirements.
Chapter 252 Putting on a Strong Front
“Why did Kane move the second my men set foot in Raven City?” the Young Master demanded loudly. “Even bank loans require an approval timeline! How could he raise the money so quickly to turn Sila at this critical moment?”Cole stared at the Young Master, the corner of his mouth twitching faintly.“I’m certain someone is secretly backing Kane.” The Young Master rubbed his forehead and picked up the water bottle. “Back in Vierra, he was set to retaliate against Sky Vault Group but held back. That’s when I grew suspicious. Once this Raven City incident broke, all the clues lined up.”“Are you suspecting me?” Cole spoke.“Who else could it be, Uncle Cole?” The Young Master took a sip of water, a smile on his face.Cole kept his expression calm, his words brief. “No need to test me. I had nothing to do with this.”The Young Master folded his arms and waited for him to continue.“If I wanted to trade the supply line for benefits, I would never have settled in South Curtain District. After c
Chapter 251 Hunting the Hidden Saboteur
Apartment in downtown Raven City. Samuel, Fourth Uncle of the Rizzo family, finished his shower and walked slowly back to the living room.A knock echoed at the door.“Door’s unlocked, come in,” Samuel called out while drying his wet hair.A young man stepped inside and lowered his voice to report. “Mr. Samuel, Ryan from Nanhu called. He’s asking why he can’t reach Felix.”“No need to reply to him,” Samuel lit a cigarette.“If we ignore him, our partnership with him —” the young man cautioned carefully.“He’s short on supply. He’ll come begging for product eventually, so the damage won’t be too bad,” Samuel frowned and waved him off.The young man went on to ask. “What about Felix, Reese and the others? Their bodies have been transported back.”“What else can we do? Find a reliable crematorium and cremate them,” Samuel snapped irritably. “Do I need to be bothered with trivial stuff like this? Are you deliberately trying to rattle me?”Kane brought along Chameng and Hartley, picked up
Chapter 250 Family Fractures
Inside the headquarters meeting room.Samuel gave the Third Uncle beside him a faint smile. “Let me tell you, this partnership benefits us in every way. Even if we fully develop Raven City, the market ceiling is fixed.”The Third Uncle lowered his voice. “That may be true, but you moved far too fast and completely overlooked Sila.”“The Novara sector falls under her jurisdiction. Going straight to the patriarch to negotiate and cutting her out shows her no respect at all.”Samuel chuckled. “Sila is still too young and short-sighted to see the long-term opportunity.” “Bringing her in will only complicate everything.”“I still think you acted too hastily ——”A phone rang abruptly.As they talked, Samuel glanced at the caller ID and picked up at once. “Hello? I’m in a meeting. Say that again? Who’s dead?”Everyone in the room turned their heads toward him.Samuel shot to his feet, slammed the phone hard onto the table, planted his hands on his hips, swept the room with murderous eyes, an
