A Bumpy Road to Power

Isn't this just like the "Widow Series" from those island country films?

The group of elders standing in the front hall.

Dare to be angry but don't dare to speak.

Because they know, if they go against this "Crown Prince", the consequences would be dire.

For a bigwig like Brett Summers to pass away.

The funeral lasting seven days and nights wouldn't be unreasonable.

But Garrison Summers has already said.

The funeral will only last one day.

Then it will be sent for cremation.

Clearly, he's eager to take over The Zenith Group.

At this moment.

In the county mayor's office at the county government building.

Jabez Shaw is tidying up his attire.

White shirt, black suit, black tie.

A proper mourning suit.

In a little while, he'll be attending Brett Summers' funeral.

He looks to be in a good mood.

After today.

He will regain control of Helios County's power.

His secretary, Liam Zane, stands in front of him, helping him tidy his tie, praising, "Leader, you look truly striking with just a little tidying."

Jabez Shaw's face shows a smile.

He says, "Liam, you've been with me for quite a few years, don't you want to go down and gain some experience?"

What's the meaning?

It's the meaning of being transferred.

Liam Zane naturally beams with joy, but tactfully says, "Leader, I don't want to leave you, I still want to grow a while longer with you."

Jabez Shaw smiles slightly.

He says, "Helios County is undergoing changes, naturally many positions will open up, this is an opportunity, if you miss this village, there won't be this store."

"Then... then I'll leave it up to the leader's decision."

Liam Zane is so excited his heart might jump out.

At this moment.

A knock on the door is heard.

"I'll get the door."

Liam Zane eagerly goes to the door.

When he opens the door, he's dumbfounded.

The person standing at the door is none other than Dirk Carter.

"Dirk... Secretary General Carter..."

Upon hearing that it's Dirk Carter.

Jabez Shaw is a bit surprised too.

He looks back briefly and continues to tidy his clothes, saying, "Secretary General Carter, no matter what it is, you'll have to wait, I'm going to attend President Summers' funeral, we'll talk after the funeral."

"County Mayor Shaw, I'm afraid you won't be able to go."

Dirk Carter says.

Jabez Shaw laughs.

He scoffs, "Oh Secretary General Carter, your tone really is bold, even if you are currently in power, you cannot limit my freedom, can you? Do you have such authority?"

"I say I do, then I do."

Dirk Carter finished calmly.

Stepping forward, he walks in.

He says, "Take care of County Mayor Shaw, starting today, County Mayor Shaw isn't allowed to step out of this door."

As soon as the words fell.

Four or five unidentified men walked in.

Guarded every corner of the room.

"Dirk Carter, what are you doing? Are you trying to imprison me?"

Jabez Shaw instantly realized something was wrong.

He reached for the fixed telephone on the table.

Dirk Carter was a step faster.

With a forceful hand.

The fixed phone was disconnected from the telephone line.

Jabez Shaw wanted to get his mobile phone.

Dirk Carter, quick-eyed and swift-handed, seized it.

Slammed it heavily on the ground.

The perfectly fine phone turned into pieces with a snap.

"Dirk Carter, are you trying to rebel?"

Jabez Shaw shouted sternly.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly.

He said, "County Mayor Shaw, from here on, many things will happen in Helios County, if you're smart, you'll stay in this room, if you're not, don't blame me for taking measures."

"I'd like to see what measures you dare to take on me!"

Jabez Shaw seemed disbelieving of Dirk Carter's words.

Suddenly Dirk Carter reached out and slapped Jabez Shaw's face.

Jabez Shaw was bewildered.

Liam Zane behind Jabez wanted to protect him.

Just as he moved to act, he was restrained by Dirk Carter's men.

"Dirk Carter... you... you're outrageous, if you have the guts, do it again..."

Before the words were finished.

Dirk Carter slapped again.

A very loud sound.

Directly left a five-finger imprint on Jabez Shaw's face.

Jabez Shaw felt so wronged.

Covering his face, he was about to cry.

He moved his lips.

Before he could utter a sound.

Dirk Carter slapped again.

Jabez Shaw woefully said, "I didn't say anything, what gives you the right to hit me?"

"Didn't you just say something now?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Jabez Shaw, terrified, clamped his mouth shut, though his eyes were full of anger, his actions certainly showed more compliance.

Fifteen minutes later.

Helios County Police Department Director's office.

Dallon Lewis, sitting on the sofa.

Beside him, stands a woman in police uniform.

His restless hand had already reached under the woman's skirt to the stream, nudging away the fabric covering the crucial spot, with two nimble fingers weaving through the crevice.

With such teasing.

The woman couldn't resist.

Moaning softly, she leaned over Dallon Lewis, grievedly saying, "Director Lewis, you're so bad."

"Don't you like my badness?"

Dallon Lewis said shamelessly.

The woman gently hit Dallon Lewis's shoulder.

Attached to his ear, softly said, "Director Lewis, I can't take it anymore, I want."

Dallon Lewis seemed oblivious.

His fingers stirred harder.

Under such stimulation.

The woman's body went limp.

Dallon Lewis took the chance to unzip his pants, pulling out his gun barrel.

The woman, with a gun barrel already enlarged.

Hurriedly gripped it, her mouth engulfed it.

Using both hand and mouth.

The two wallowing in unbounded pleasure when suddenly, with a crash, the locked door was kicked open.

Dallon Lewis was startled.

About to curse.

He saw Dirk Carter striding in.

The woman immediately stood up.

Began tidying her clothes.

Dallon Lewis forcefully shoved the limp gun barrel back.

Zipped up his pants.

Angrily said, "Secretary General Carter, aren't you being too impolite? As a leader, don't you know the basic courtesy of knocking on the door?"

"Take him down!"

Dirk Carter said lightly.

Armed police with guns entered from outside.

Two pointed guns at Dallon Lewis.

The other two directly seized his shoulders, twisting his arms behind his back.

"What do you think you're doing? I'm the police department director, are you rebelling?"

Dallon Lewis struggled desperately.

Yet, how could he be a match for armed police.

All resistance was futile.

He was picked up.

Dirk Carter searched his waist.

From his holster.

He took away his service pistol.

He said, "From now on, your position as police department director has been dismissed."

"You don't have the authority to dismiss me, my position was appointed by the standing committee."

Dallon Lewis shouted.

Dirk Carter chuckled coldly.

Glanced at the door.

Then Britt Ford walked in.

Took out a document.

He said, "This is the dismissal case recently passed by the county people's congress standing committee, from now, you're no longer the police department director."
