A Bumpy Road to Power

"Mayor Carter!"

Just as Dirk Carter and Gwendolyn Lewis were about to open the door and leave.

Terrence Hall, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly shouted.

Dirk Carter turned his head and asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Terrence Hall slowly raised his head.

A vicious gleam flashed in his eyes.

He said, "You can go, but the camera stays!"

"Are you trying to threaten me?"

Gwendolyn Lewis asked.

Terrence Hall let out a cold laugh.

He said, "Mayor Carter, Secretary Lewis, we're all just trying to make a living here. If you smash my rice bowl, I, Terrence Hall, sure as hell won't agree. Same thing I said before, leave the camera and I won't make things hard for you."

"Terrence Hall, get this straight. Look at who we are. You really think you can keep us here?"

Gwendolyn Lewis snapped.

At this point, after the breakdown of negotiations, Terrence Hall was basically going all in.

He stood up, stared at the two in front of him, and said, "I'll say it again. Anyone who tries to smash my rice bowl is my enemy. I don't care who he is, it won't fly!"

That sentence was squeezed out between his teeth.

Gwendolyn Lewis had no intention of responding to him.

She didn't believe anyone would dare do anything to the two of them.

But when her hand turned the doorknob, she suddenly realized.

The door had been locked from the outside.

"Terrence Hall, what are you trying to do? Tell your people to open the door!"

Gwendolyn Lewis scolded.

Terrence Hall stopped talking.

He sat back down on the sofa.

And held out his hand.

The meaning was simple: he wanted Gwendolyn Lewis to hand over the camera.

By now it was clear.

Terrence Hall was serious.

Gwendolyn Lewis shot a glance at Dirk Carter.

Suddenly she took out the camera.

She walked over to the coffee table and put it down.

She said, "Terrence Hall, you can have the camera, but you remember this: this isn't over. Can you open the door now?"

Seeing the camera had been set down.

Terrence Hall was quite satisfied.

He shouted for the door to be opened.

Sure enough.

The door was unlocked from the outside.

But the doorway was packed solid with people, at least a dozen of them.

Dirk Carter and Gwendolyn Lewis had just lifted their feet to step forward.

Terrence Hall called out, "Hold it. Where's the memory card? Secretary Lewis, you don't really think I, Terrence Hall, am some idiot who doesn't even know cameras have memory cards, do you?"

As soon as he said this.

Gwendolyn Lewis shivered.

She had tried to play a little trick.

She figured as long as she pulled out the card, Terrence Hall wouldn't notice.

Give them a few minutes and they'd be out of here; by the time he tried to chase them down, it'd be too late.

She hadn't expected she'd really underestimated him.

"There's no memory card inside."

Gwendolyn Lewis said.

Terrence Hall stood up and slowly paced over to stand in front of Gwendolyn Lewis, his face dark as he said, "Secretary Lewis really is a fine cadre, acting skills top-notch. You can lie without blushing or skipping a beat. I'll give you ten seconds to hand over the card. If you don't, I, Terrence Hall, am going to lose it."

"Don't bother giving me time. I'm not giving it to you."

Gwendolyn Lewis said firmly.

Terrence Hall nodded.

He glanced at Dirk Carter.

And said, "Mayor Carter, if I say I'm going to search the two of you, you'll definitely resist, right?"

"Of course."

Dirk Carter said.

Terrence Hall nodded and shouted toward the door, "All of you, get in here."

At his order.

The dozen or so people outside all rushed in, surrounding Dirk Carter and Gwendolyn Lewis in the middle.

Every one of them had something in their hands.

Each was holding a length of water pipe, looking fierce, clearly ready to start swinging.

"Terrence Hall, are you trying to rebel?"

Gwendolyn Lewis snapped.

Terrence Hall chuckled darkly.

He said, "Rebel? I wouldn't dare. But this memory card, I'm getting it today, no matter what it takes."

With that.

He waved his hand.

Four or five pipes were pointed at Dirk Carter, and another four or five aimed at Gwendolyn Lewis.

In this situation.

Dirk Carter no longer had any chance to fight back.

If it were just him, he might still have a shot.

But Gwendolyn Lewis was here too.

He couldn't let loose.

"Mayor Carter, you first then. Do you want me to take your clothes off, or will you do it yourself?"

Terrence Hall asked.

"I'm not accepting either option."

Dirk Carter said.

A wicked smile crept over Terrence Hall's face.

He said, "You won't? Then I can only undress Secretary Lewis myself."

As he spoke.

His hand reached toward Gwendolyn Lewis.

Seeing this, Dirk Carter hurriedly shouted, "Fine, don't touch her. I'll undress."

"That's better. I don't want to make things hard on the two of you leaders. So be sensible and don't put me in a tough spot."

Dirk Carter was seething inside.

But he was at someone else's mercy and had no other choice.

He first took off his jacket.

Diego Fisher immediately took it, running his hands along every seam and corner.

Then came the T-shirt, the trousers…

Once those two pieces were off.

Dirk Carter was left in only his underwear and socks.

Diego Fisher crouched down first.

He checked Dirk Carter's shoes.

Then yanked off his socks.

He turned them inside out, checked them thoroughly.

Then he stood up and shook his head at Terrence Hall, indicating there was nothing there.

"Mr. Hall, do I have to take off my underwear too?"

Dirk Carter asked.

A muscle in Terrence Hall's face twitched.

Then he gave a venomous little smile.

He said, "You're still a leader, after all. Stripping you buck naked wouldn't be very tasteful."

With that.

He snapped his fingers.

And shouted outside, "Fiona, get in here."

At his call.

The heavily made-up, sexily dressed female secretary who had just gone out sashayed back in, hips swaying.

This secretary named Fiona.

Had only a tube top on her upper body.

A piece of cloth barely the size of a towel held up the two bulges on her chest.

Her shoulders and waist were completely exposed.

On her lower half she wore tight sharkskin leggings.

They showed off the round curve of her ass and her long thighs.

Especially between her legs, the fabric was pulled tight into a deep groove.

Judging from the bulge between her thighs, she was clearly "very well-endowed."

As soon as she came in.

She pressed herself up against Terrence Hall and started rubbing against him.

Terrence Hall pointed at Dirk Carter and said, "Fiona, give Mayor Carter a thorough search. See if he's hiding anything he shouldn't be hiding on him."

"You got it."

Fiona answered.

She swayed her way over to stand in front of Dirk Carter.

First she stretched out her long fingers and stroked across his chest muscles.

Then her palm slowly slid down.

Until it stopped at his lower abdomen.

Her face turned sultry.

In a sugary, coy voice she said, "Sorry, sir, let me check you a little more carefully."

As soon as she finished.

Her hand slipped under the waistband of his underwear and went straight in.

That "naughty" hand.

First wrapped around Dirk Carter's shaft, while her other hand groped around the surrounding area.

She searched the front thoroughly.

Found nothing unusual.

She then pressed her two soft mounds against Dirk Carter's chest, and in an embrace-like pose, slid both hands from his waist around to his back…
