A Bumpy Road to Power

"Buddy, not bad skills you got there."

The young man shouted excitedly at Dirk Carter.

Heroes appreciate heroes.

Dirk Carter also gave him a thumbs up and said, "You're pretty good too!"

At this moment.

Buzz Cut and the other two drunks staggered to their feet.

It seemed like they were not about to let it go after suffering losses.

They took out phones, preparing to make calls.

"You bastards better wait; today if I don't skin you alive, Buzz Cut's been wasting his time around here."

Just then.

A middle-aged man rushed out from the inner room.

He came to Buzz Cut, nodding and bowing obsequiously.

In a fawning tone, he said, "Buzz Cut, calm down, calm down, it's all a misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. I'll cover your bill today, I'll cover it..."

Dirk Carter had been to the Haha Rustic Restaurant several times.

So he knew that this middle-aged man was the restaurant owner.

Buzz Cut said nothing, slapped the owner hard across the face.

Furious, he said, "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? Boss Zhang, if you don't give an explanation for this happening in your store, you might as well not open this place anymore."

This statement turned the owner's face pale with fear.

He knew persuading Buzz Cut was futile.

Immediately, he turned to Dirk Carter, grabbed his hand, and said, "Little brother, listen to me, just apologize to him, apologize to him, otherwise we're both doomed today."

"Who is he? So arrogant?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Boss Zhang swallowed hard.

He whispered, "This guy, we can't mess with him, he's...he's Clark Fletcher's brother-in-law, Terrence Hall, nicknamed Buzz Cut. He's a supervisor at Apex Construction, with one phone call he can summon dozens of guys..."

Clark Fletcher?

Hearing that name, Dirk Carter's mind buzzed.

What a coincidence.

Just this afternoon he had been thinking of setting up a meeting with Apex Construction.

Didn't expect to run into him this evening.

The brother-in-law is so unruly.

Seems like the brother-in-law isn't any good either.

A thought flashed in his mind, a plan formed.

He turned and whispered something in Gwendolyn Lewis's ear.

Gwendolyn immediately understood.

She walked aside and made a phone call.

At this moment, Terrence Hall also finished his call.

He pulled up a chair, sat in the middle, and slammed his hand down on the table, roaring, "The Haha Rustic Restaurant is closed for today. Anyone who doesn't want trouble, get lost, or don't blame me for being rude."

His words clearly carried weight.

With that shout, the diners and onlookers in the hall scrambled to leave.

The panicked owner stomped his feet.

So many people hadn't paid their bills, and seeing Terrence Hall's posture, he might indeed be starting a big incident today.

"What do you want to do? In a society ruled by law, you still want to play gangster?"

The young guy who just acted saw this scene and immediately rushed up.

Terrence Hall crossed his legs.

Disdainfully, he said, "Today I'm playing gangster, let's see what you can do about it?"

"What can I do? I'm a cop, what do you think I can do?"

The young guy was also angry.

He pulled a police badge from his pocket and slapped it on the table.

Hearing he was a cop, there wasn't a hint of panic in Terrence Hall's eyes.

He picked up the police badge, glanced at it, and then suddenly with a tearing sound, he casually ripped the badge holder into two and tossed it aside.

"You..."

"What you? A rookie cop, and you're playing tough with me? You're from Alba Spire Precinct, aren't you? It's not far, Bubba, call their captain and have Braddock Yarbrough come over."

Terrence Hall said arrogantly.

The drunk who had just been hit by Dirk Carter responded, "Got it."

And went aside to make a call.

Hearing he could directly command a precinct captain.

The young guy got worried too.

Dirk Carter patted him on the shoulder, asking, "What's your name?"

"Elbert Rivers."

"Not bad, not a bad name. Rookie officer at Alba Spire?"

"Yeah, just started a few months ago."

Elbert Rivers replied.

Dirk Carter reassured, "Don't worry, I'll handle it."

Elbert Rivers didn't take it to heart upon hearing that.

After all, he didn't recognize Dirk Carter.

He thought it was just words of comfort.

Dirk Carter also pulled up a chair.

Sitting face-to-face with Terrence Hall.

He asked, "Buzz Cut...you're Buzz Cut, right? How do you plan to resolve this?"

"Resolve? You've already bleeped up and now you want resolution? It's not impossible. How about this, you two kneel before me, call me grandpa and say you were wrong. That chick will be mine tonight, and you gotta pay for the brothers' medical bills."

"Kneeling...I'm afraid that's not possible. My knees only kneel to the dead. If I kneel to you, wouldn't that be cursing you to die?"

After Dirk said this.

He glanced back at Gwendolyn Lewis.

Said, "This lady can be yours, I'm just afraid you can't handle it."

"I can't handle it, ridiculous. I can easily handle three women a night, those little arms and legs, I'll have her trembling in no time."

"And the medical bills, name a price."

"A hundred grand."

Terrence Hall didn't even think, instantly naming a steep price.

Dirk Carter nodded slightly.

He said, "I can't agree to the first two conditions, the third one I accept."

Hearing this.

Terrence Hall's eyes lit up.

Thinking that with a hundred thousand in hand, what kind of woman would he not be able to find?

Though excited inside, his face showed no expression. He reached out his hand and said, "Now pay."

Dirk Carter paused.

He said, "Why should I pay? Shouldn't you be paying me?"

With a snap.

Terrence Hall slammed the table again, pointed at Dirk Carter, and shouted, "You're playing me, aren't you?"

Dirk Carter chuckled, saying, "Oh, not bad, can tell that I'm playing with you, huh? Feeling mad?"

"You..."

Terrence Hall wanted to stand up.

But thinking about it, the three of them were no match for the other three.

He sat back down sullenly.

Nodded and said, "Alright, alright, you've got guts. Just wait. Soon you won't even have a chance to negotiate..."

Just as he finished speaking.

Bubba shouted, "Buzz Cut, Captain Yu is here."

Everyone looked toward the door.

Sure enough, a patrol car with flashing lights had arrived.

"Boy, you're all dead meat, just watch how I deal with you."

After saying this, Terrence Hall stood up and headed toward the door to greet them.

"You two better leave, I'll take care of the rest, or you really might get thrown in jail."

Elbert Rivers said worriedly.

Clearly.

He was familiar with the nature of their precinct captain.
