A Bumpy Road to Power

Seeing Elbert Rivers being so considerate.

Dirk Carter felt a warmth in his heart.

At this moment.

A middle-aged man in a police uniform walked in alongside Terrence Hall.

On the way in, Terrence Hall had already given a brief "explanation" of the situation.

Behind him, there were also a police officer and two auxiliary officers.

As soon as they entered.

The head of Alba Spire Street Police Station, Braddock Yarbrough, pointed at Dirk Carter and asked, "Is it these two?"

Terrence Hall smiled smugly.

Said, "Yes, it's them."

"Officer Yarbrough, let me explain this matter to you."

Seeing this, Elbert Rivers.

Immediately went up to him.

Braddock Yarbrough glared at him and said with a hostile tone, "Get out of my sight, I'll deal with you later."

After finishing speaking.

He said to the three people behind him, "Cuff them and take them back."

The police officer and two auxiliary officers walked towards Dirk Carter and Gwendolyn Lewis.

Not yet close.

Dirk Carter asked, "Officer Yarbrough, arresting people without any investigation or questioning, you seem very qualified for your position."

Braddock Yarbrough froze upon hearing this.

Suddenly became furious.

Walked directly to Dirk Carter's face.

Shouted loudly, "Stand up!"

"Why? Is sitting also illegal?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Braddock Yarbrough placed both hands on Dirk Carter's shoulders, attempting to forcefully lift him up.

Unexpectedly, as he exerted force.

Dirk Carter remained motionless.

Feeling humiliated.

He exerted force again.

Dirk Carter still remained unmoved.

Braddock Yarbrough became furious with embarrassment.

Directly took police spray from the gear of the officer next to him, aimed at Dirk Carter's face, and without hesitation, sprayed it.

Dirk Carter did not expect Braddock Yarbrough to be so bold.

Daring to use police gear so indiscriminately.

His eyes suddenly couldn't open.

His throat burned.

He started coughing violently.

"What are you doing? Do you have any sense of law left?"

Gwendolyn Lewis hurriedly pulled out tissues for Dirk Carter, and in a panic grabbed a bottle of water to help him wash his eyes.

"Law? What law, in Alba Spire Street, I am the law. You were given respect but didn't want it, now you talk to me about law, do you qualify?"

Seeing Dirk Carter in such a miserable state.

Braddock Yarbrough also felt very pleased.

Said arrogantly.

"Officer Yarbrough..."

Elbert Rivers tried to intervene.

Braddock Yarbrough directly pointed at his face, angrily said, "You're meddling, right? Fine, don't think about getting confirmed from your internship, take off your police uniform tomorrow and go back to where you came from..."

Elbert Rivers was so startled by this reprimand that he didn't know what to do.

At this moment.

A voice came from the doorway: "Braddock Yarbrough, you're quite the tyrant, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Braddock Yarbrough turned around, intending to curse, but once he saw the person clearly, his body suddenly trembled.

His face filled with a smile.

He hurriedly went up.

Asked meekly, "Director Kent, why are you here?"

"If I didn't come, you, Braddock Yarbrough, would tear the sky apart."

Veridia City's Public Security Bureau Chief Kent Hamilton said in a tone that wasn't quite friendly.

Upon hearing Kent Hamilton's words.

Braddock Yarbrough chuckled.

He said, "How would I dare? I received a report that there was a disturbance at the restaurant, so I brought people over. Didn't expect Director Kent to be here, should've greeted you first."

Braddock Yarbrough still thought Kent Hamilton was just dining here.

"Good day, Director Kent, Director Kent, have a cigarette."

Clearly, Terrence Hall also knew Kent Hamilton.

Immediately pulled out a cigarette and offered it to Kent Hamilton.

Kent Hamilton blocked it with his hand.

Pointing at the still washing their eyes Dirk Carter and Gwendolyn Lewis, he asked, "Braddock Yarbrough, are these the ones you responded to after the report?"

"Yes, yes, two troublemakers, causing disturbances at the restaurant, I'm taking them away now to not spoil Director Kent's mood."

After Braddock Yarbrough finished speaking.

Ready to order their arrest.

Kent Hamilton sneered.

Pointing at Dirk Carter, he said, "Let me introduce you, this is Dirk Carter, our new deputy mayor of Veridia City, and this is Gwendolyn Lewis, who just assumed her role as the City Government Secretary of Veridia City today."

As Kent Hamilton finished speaking.

Braddock Yarbrough was completely frozen.

He felt as if a powerful electric current was passing through his body.

So electrified that he couldn't move.

"Speak up, didn't you come to handle the report, why aren't you talking now?"

Kent Hamilton looked at the stiffened Braddock Yarbrough and asked.

Braddock Yarbrough smacked his lips.

Swallowed again.

Beads of sweat started appearing on his forehead.

"It's over, it's over..."

Braddock Yarbrough's mouth kept repeating.

At this moment.

Dirk Carter's eyes were also preliminarily washed clean.

He squinted as he stood up.

Said, "Director Kent, you arrived just in time, otherwise I would've been done in by these two guys."

"Mayor Carter, sorry, it's my fault, my inadequate supervision, why are you still standing there, quickly send a car to escort Mayor Carter to the hospital."

Kent Hamilton ordered.

Dirk Carter waved his hand.

Said, "No need, I'll go myself, I'm not comfortable riding in their cars."

After leaving that remark.

With Gwendolyn Lewis's help.

Dirk Carter directly left the door of the Haha Restaurant.

"Just leaving like this?"

At the courtyard's entrance, Gwendolyn Lewis asked Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly, and asked, "Otherwise?"

"What if Kent Hamilton lets Braddock Yarbrough off?"

"He won't, Braddock Yarbrough isn't in Kent Hamilton's faction, without any surprises, Braddock Yarbrough is finished."

Dirk Carter said.

Gwendolyn Lewis was taken aback.

Asked, "How do you know? You know him?"

"I don't!"

Dirk Carter shook his head, and continued, "Braddock Yarbrough was called by Terrence Hall, Terrence Hall's brother-in-law is Clark Fletcher, Clark Fletcher's involvement in the old district renovation project shows his close ties with Jamal Palmer, in other words, Braddock Yarbrough, even if not directly under Jamal Palmer, should at least be in the pro-Jamal Palmer faction, whereas Kent Hamilton is one of Norman Ross's people, did you understand what I just said?"

Gwendolyn Lewis suddenly realized.

Said, "No wonder you asked me to call Kent Hamilton, you knew he would come, right?"

Dirk Carter confidently smiled.

Said, "In order to show his abilities in front of Rasco Shaw, Norman Ross won't miss any chance to strike at Jamal Palmer. Braddock Yarbrough is naturally a sacrificial piece."

"I still don't quite understand, just now we revealed our identities, Braddock Yarbrough would have been intimidated, why give such a chance to Kent Hamilton, aren't you helping Norman Ross attack Jamal Palmer?"

Gwendolyn Lewis scratched her head and asked.

Dirk Carter laughed heartily.

Said, "Someone like Braddock Yarbrough, Jamal Palmer wouldn't care about, plus I was indeed messed up by him, even if the sky fell I'd be justified, that's not important, having Kent Hamilton here was for targeting Cora Young..."

"Targeting Cora Young? Isn't he in Cora Young's faction?"

Dirk Carter gave a mischievous smile.

Said, "No rush, you'll understand why I did this in a few days, first take me to the hospital, my eyes can't take it anymore..."
