“Hello?”“Busy with something, big shot?” Ash’s clear voice came through the line.“I’ve got a cold, resting at home.” Kane’s face burned hot. “What’s up?”“Yeah, there’s something. Grab a few of your guys and meet me at Joy Palace. We’re picking up a friend.” Ash glanced at her watch. “Come now.”“Who are we meeting?” Kane’s body ached all over, and he had no desire to move. “I feel terrible, every bone hurts. Maybe you guys go without me.”“This person is critical. You need to meet him in person.” Ash said softly. “He runs a trading firm out in Viera. All the capital flow for our suppliers will go through him.”“Someone from Carrington’s crew?” Kane froze.“You could say that.” Ash replied. “One of your sources of funding. We can’t skip the proper respect.”“Fine.” Kane dragged himself to his feet. “I’ll get in touch with Pierce, Joren and Cruz.”“We’re having dinner at my place tonight.”“Alright, talk later.”The call ended.Kane washed up quickly, drove down to the precinct, and

Kane glanced around the room and told Hartley and Hagen quietly, “Let him go. He can get up on his own.”Noble gasped, eyes wide with fear. “I’ve got a little cash in my pocket. Can my wife have it?”Kane fell silent for a moment, walked over, and pulled less than a hundred dollars from his pocket.“…Give it to my wife.” Noble kept his head down.Kane sighed and handed the money to the woman. “Your family’s already struggling, and you still went out to join that crowd? Marches aren’t something you mess around with.”He waved a hand. “Take him away.”That night, active officers across the city launched coordinated arrests. In under three hours, nearly fifty march organizers were taken into custody.…Inside the hall of a private downtown club.The third son pulled his trench coat tighter, speaking quickly to Neil. “I have to head to Viera for something critical. Keep an eye on things here. Make sure Kaiyuan District Precinct wraps up the handling of our key targets.”“Understood.” Neil

The officer holding the listening gear covered the mouthpiece, spun around, bolted out of the interrogation room and shouted, “Get the captain now!”A dozen seconds later, the Second Unit Captain strode over, tense. “Was that Carlson calling?”“Yes! Hans is still on the line with him!” The officer could barely contain his excitement.The captain stepped into the room, leaned close to Hans’s ear and whispered, “Keep him talking. No matter what, stall him.”Hans glanced sideways at the captain and spoke into the phone. “Brother Carlson, how did you stir up so much trouble after you got out?”“…I’m trying to make some money.” Carlson’s voice was quiet. “Where are you?”“At home.” Hans scratched his nose and sighed. “I haven’t found any work since I got out. Just sitting around.”Carlson went silent fo

"So how do you explain all this?" Kane asked."I don’t owe you an explanation. I’m the one pulling the strings here." Theodore leaned back in his seat.Kane fell silent."Fine. Since you’re so curious, I might as well tell you." Theodore stayed relaxed, turned his head toward Kane and spoke slowly. "Sage started out working PR at Phoenix Entertainment, catering exclusively to high-end clients. She wasn’t the kind of woman who’d jump into bed with anyone who waved cash around. She’s good-looking and educated, and we had a thing once."Kane listened quietly."But I never stick with anything for long. Once the novelty wore off, I drifted away from her." Theodore said. "Later, Merceron came back to Novara and took a liking to Sage. They got together. Even so, Merceron was only playing around; he never intended to make her his wife.""Won’t it be awkward when you two run into each other?""What&rsq

The Deputy Director smoothed his thinning hair, took a sip of dark, strong tea, and looked up to cut him off. "Let me give you some advice.""What?" Captain Bishop blinked."Start asking your relatives and friends. See if they can land you a new job." The Deputy Director’s face was blank."Wait, what the hell does that mean?" Captain Bishop’s mind went blank."Half an hour ago, headquarters issued the first round of disciplinary notices." The Deputy Director stood up and licked the blisters on his lips. "You’re removed from your post, stripped clean. You’ll keep your captain title on the department roster for three years, but you’ll only get two hundred credits a month for living expenses. That’s the best outcome I could fight for you."A high-pitched ring hummed in Bishop’s ears, and his eyes flushed red."I know this is hard to swallow...""On what grounds? What possible grounds?!" Captain Bishop could no longer hold back his rage, snapping sharply. "What major mistake did I make on
Chapter 271
"If not for this string of disasters, the cornered Carlson would never have burst into the finance office on impulse.Carlson stared at the stacks of cash inside the safe, a faint smile tugging at his lips. He stepped forward and kicked the heavy safe hard.The bulky metal cabinet shifted slightly with a groan."Come over, push this cabinet to the window!" He saw he could not move it alone and shouted.Several finance clerks were forced to step forward and heave the safe together until it sat right beside the window.Carlson pushed the window open and glanced down. The crowd still lingered on the street, watching."Today I’ll be the one giving charity."He climbed onto the windowsill, cold wind slapping his face. He grabbed handfuls of bills and screamed hoarsely down at the crowd, "Money for everyone!"People on the street looked up at the shout."The rich lock all this money away, and now I’m giving it back to you!" Carlson lifted his arm, and thick bundles of paper money scattered
