A Bumpy Road to Power

"You mean, my dad deliberately ignored me just to prevent me from doing these things?"

Garrison Summers asked.

Hawkeye nodded.

Said nothing else.

Like being struck by lightning, Garrison Summers shivered all over.

Looked at Brett Summers in the coffin.

"No... impossible, you're lying to me, aren't you? You're lying to me, aren't you? You must be lying to me... I don't believe it!"

This kind of truth.

For a moment.

Garrison Summers simply couldn't accept it.

You have to know, it was because Brett Summers didn't love him that he finally decided to kill his own biological father, but now he knows his father was too caring for him and didn't want him to get dirty. What was the point of his cruelty back then?

"Take him away."

Dirk Carter didn't want to see him anymore.

Waved his hand.

A few armed police escorted Garrison Summers down.

Next.

Rhovan Provincial Police Department's clearing operation.

Arrested a total of 11 crime leaders from Brett Summers's crime group at the scene, and 147 group members.

Considered a complete catch.

Next.

State Commission for Discipline Inspection and Rhovan Provincial Police Department special task forces stationed in Helios County to oversee command.

This anti-crime action lasted for more than twenty days.

In over twenty days, Veridia City's official circle captured 14 protective umbrellas, Helios County's official circle cleared 32 people, from municipal party committee deputy secretary Zolan Summers down to ordinary police officers of the police department, all were detained for investigation.

When this news came out, it shook the entire country.

Helios County had a total of 13 standing committee members.

Jabez Shaw and Galen Griffin were directly dismissed from their positions.

Franklin Ross, Arsenio Dempsey, Arthur Levin, Graeme Lewis, and Durand Keating, major implicated officials, all received administrative demerits.

This does not mean these people are temporarily fine.

Later, due to various evidences pointing towards them, some were removed, transferred, and even sent to court.

All involved casinos and prostitution venues were sealed.

71 kilograms of drugs were seized.

Helios County Police Department Director Dallon Lewis was involved in drug trafficking, later directly sentenced to death.

From beginning to end, the investigation and trial took two full years.

After two years, main criminal Garrison Summers was sentenced to death.

Hawkeye and Cat-man, due to voluntary surrender and meritorious service, were sentenced to 15 and 10 years respectively.

Jabez Shaw, Galen Griffin, and other protective umbrellas were sentenced to life imprisonment due to serious corruption, bribery, and abuse of power...

In short, such a campaign had a profound impact on Helios County.

So much so that years later, the topic everyone discussed at leisure still hasn't changed.

Dirk Carter achieved such success with his strategic maneuvers in Helios County mainly due to three reasons.

The first was his strategic planning.

The second was Garrison Summers's impulsiveness; had Brett Summers still been alive, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.

And the third was Alphonso Forrest's strong support; without it, Dirk Carter alone couldn't have achieved it.

It can be said that all three conditions are indispensable.

If even one wasn't in place.

Dirk Carter couldn't have achieved such accomplishments.

Although the case was over.

Dirk Carter hadn't been idle at all.

He had been working overtime almost every day, busy to the point of exhaustion.

Plus, it's nearing New Year.

A pile of County Committee and county government matters were pressed on him, so it's been several days without proper rest.

This noon.

After lunch, Dirk Carter finally had time to nap on the office sofa.

As soon as he lay down.

He immediately fell asleep.

But he hadn't slept for a few minutes.

Arlo Yarbrough pushed the door open directly.

The sudden noise startled Dirk Carter, he opened his eyes and asked, "What happened?"

It was obvious.

Arlo Yarbrough had a face of urgency.

Evidently, something had happened.

Dirk Carter got up from the sofa.

Arlo Yarbrough glanced at the pile of thick documents on the table, hesitated.

"Speak up if there's something."

Dirk Carter said.

Arlo Yarbrough swallowed and said, "I just saw the news, Rasco Shaw has been transferred to Janton State, serving as deputy secretary of the State Committee and governor."

"What did you say?"

Dirk Carter shivered.

He heard clearly.

But still couldn't quite believe what he heard.

Rasco Shaw came to Janton State?

And got promoted?

The last brief victory forced Rasco Shaw out of Serenity State.

Thought he'd be defeated for life.

Unexpectedly, not even a few years have passed, and Rasco Shaw has made a comeback.

Could even be called a king's return.

He pondered for a moment.

Took out his phone, directly dialed Yale Quill's number.

With matters like this, there must be inside information on Yale Quill's side.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected.

Next, came Yale Quill's lazy voice through the receiver, asking: "Dirk, don't you know I have the habit of resting at noon?"

"Mr. Yale, sorry, I really didn't mean to disturb you at this time, I want to ask you about something, have you heard about Rasco Shaw being transferred to Janton State as governor?"

Yale Quill hesitated.

Asked: "Rasco Shaw? The one from the East Ocean State People's Congress?"

"Yes, yes, him."

Dirk Carter said impatiently.

Yale Quill thought for a moment, said: "I heard a bit about this, seems the Houseman Family pushed him up."

"The Houseman Family? He got involved with the Houseman Family?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Yale Quill said: "I don't know the specific situation, if you want details, I can call and ask for you."

"Then please bother Mr. Yale."

Dirk Carter said.

After hanging up.

Dirk Carter paced back and forth in the office several times.

If in this official arena there was one person who could make him feel this anxious, it would probably be Rasco Shaw.

The hatred of murder cannot be forgotten.

And the grievance against Dylan Tate.

Though much time had passed.

Dirk Carter hadn't forgotten even for a moment.

Ten minutes later.

Yale Quill's call came back.

On the phone, Yale Quill informed Dirk Carter.

During his time in East Ocean State, Rasco Shaw hadn't been idle, and somehow got connected to the Houseman Family, becoming Jethro Houseman's "Guest." Jethro Houseman used the Houseman Family's influence to elevate Rasco Shaw to Janton State governor.

From this point of view.

After Vernon Houseman's failure in Janton State.

The Houseman Family never gave up their operations in Janton State.

This time, they returned in another form.

The two greatest "enemies" are now starting to cooperate.

This means, following up, Dirk Carter's situation will become extremely difficult.

The Houseman Family won't spare Dirk Carter.

Rasco Shaw won't either.

Dirk Carter's doom is coming.

"Dirk, what do we do? How about we find connections and leave Janton State first?"

Seeing Dirk Carter in such a state, Arlo Yarbrough asked worriedly.

Dirk Carter waved his hand, said: "It's been so many years, it's time to resolve this matter."

Arlo Yarbrough listened, quickly said: "I know you want revenge, I do too, but the situation is different now, Rasco Shaw is not only promoted to governor, but also backed by the Houseman Family, with just us, we're no match."
