A Bumpy Road to Power

Yara Hughes is considered a cool beauty.

The charm she exudes makes many of the men pursuing her keep their distance.

If not for her commanding presence, ordinary men would indeed hesitate to approach such a woman.

Though they are sisters.

Nora Hughes has a completely different aura.

Her demeanor is both slightly aloof yet distinctly engaging.

Thinking of the scene back then when she seduced him in the airplane restroom.

The two lips pressed together became even more indulgent.

The ensuing scene transcended what could be described as "vibrant and fragrant."

You must know, back then Delilah Goodman was coerced, making the whole process rather stifled.

But these two sisters were willing.

Moreover, they were determined to conquer Dirk Carter.

And they certainly pulled out all the stops.

That night.

Dirk Carter truly experienced what it means to enjoy "the fortune of having two," especially when the two sisters stacked on top of each other like a pagoda, facing the rush upstream of two streams, Dirk felt like he was soaring to the heights, unable to contain himself for a moment.

Generally speaking, a battle usually lasts an hour.

But Dirk's session lasted a full two hours.

By the time the final moment of intense passion concluded.

With the two sisters lying across him, Dirk still felt his enthusiasm unabated.

His hands roamed freely between their peaks, savoring and indulging ceaselessly.

"Dirk, from now on, we sisters are your women. We hope you won't disappoint The Hughes Family, okay?"

Nora whispers softly into Dirk's ear.

Dirk cradles her head and kisses her forehead.

And says, "I've already said, even if you two weren't like this, I wouldn't neglect Mr. Hughes' entrustment, of course, this result couldn't be better…"

Upon hearing this.

Nora pounced onto Dirk.

She teased, "So, how about one more round?"

"Haven't you had enough?"

Dirk asked.

Nora purses her lips and says, "Most of the time was spent on my sister earlier, now it's my turn."

Dirk and Yara exchanged a smile.

Then he pressed Nora beneath him, assuming the stance, said, "Alright, this time I'll spend most of the time on you, just don't beg for mercy…"

"I won't beg for mercy, bring it on…"

With Nora's declaration of battle.

The room once again resonated with the intimate murmurs of the trio, echoing like a beautiful melody...

...

After the fall of the Houseman Family.

Miles Hughes' passing followed.

The successive upheavals created a huge impact on the political landscape of Argentum.

Especially after the fall of the Houseman Family, the political resources they previously controlled created a vacuum, which was divided among various forces.

Such a situation was expected.

The arrest of the three Houseman brothers also caused panic among the direct line of the Houseman Family, and recently, flights to Argentum from various states were almost fully booked.

Evidently, not only in Argentum, but even Houseman Family members in other regions began feeling insecure, either coming to Argentum to understand the situation, or looking for new "support."

After spending several days in Argentum.

It was time for Dirk Carter to return to Veridia City.

Just last night, Dirk received a call from the Organization Department of the Janton State Committee.

His transfer order had been issued by the highest Organization Department.

In other words, once Dirk returns to Veridia City and completes the handover, he could head to Novaria State to assume his new role.

Yara and Nora personally drove Dirk to the airport, and before getting off the car, they exchanged tenderness once more.

Thus, the three reluctantly bid farewell.

The waiting hall was bustling with people.

Since the airport had just announced that the plane was delayed by an hour.

Dirk found a corner to take a quick nap.

After staying at the Hughes Family for several days, the two sisters treated him as if bewitched, leaving Dirk momentarily uninterested in women.

Just as he closed his eyes.

A familiar and seasoned voice came to his ears.

"Why do you look so tired, what have you been doing at the Hughes Family?"

Dirk was startled.

Opening his eyes, he found Campbell Donovan standing beside him, appearing out of nowhere.

"Mr. Donovan, why… why are you here?"

Dirk asked in surprise.

Campbell Donovan smiled and said, "I'm heading to Elysia State, the matters here are concluded, it's time for me to go back."

Dirk was taken aback.

Just about to speak, Campbell continued, "You probably want to ask me, given the troubled times, why am I heading to Elysia State for a vacation, right?"

Dirk nodded.

That's precisely what he wanted to ask.

Campbell Donovan sighed and said, "With Mr. Houseman arrested and Mr. Hughes passing, I've come to terms with everything. You see, after a lifetime of painstaking effort, isn't it just a grave in the end? I'm still healthy now, able to enjoy some days of happiness, why spend all day in life-or-death, deceit and betrayal? The Yangtze River pushes past the old waves, it's always necessary to let go, isn't it?"

"Can you truly let go?"

"Sigh... whether I can let go or not, what difference does it make? Once you close your eyes, the future happenings don't relate to me at all, does it? Enough about me, let's talk about you, I've heard you're heading to Novaria State?"

Campbell Donovan asked.

Dirk nodded.

Campbell continued, "Did Bohdan Sherwood send you there?"

"Yes!"

Dirk didn't want to hide, responded with a nod.

"It seems Bohdan Sherwood holds you in high esteem. Sending you to Novaria State might be for your development, but Novaria State is a den of dragons and tigers. As the stronghold of the Houseman Family, you'll certainly face challenges there."

"I know."

Dirk replied.

He paused, then asked Campbell Donovan, "Mr. Donovan, after I assisted Commissioner Sherwood in toppling the Houseman Family, do you hate me?"

"Hahaha… Hate, of course, I do. With the fall of the Houseman Family, the Donovans are on the brink as well. But although I'm old, I'm not senile. Such events were bound to happen sooner or later, and Mr. Houseman brought it on himself. You ensured the Donovans weren't implicated and even sent Yvonne to find me. For that alone, I should thank you. No matter what, in this torrent, the Donovans were spared. As for what happens next, I'm indifferent."

After saying that.

He smiled at Dirk and said, "Whenever you're free, come visit me in Elysia State for fun, it's truly a great vacation place, I'm quite reluctant to leave."

"Hahaha…"

Dirk laughed heartily.

He nodded and said, "Sure, I'll definitely visit when I have the time!"

As they conversed.

The announcement for boarding for passengers heading to Elysia State began playing.

Campbell Donovan stood up, bid farewell to Dirk, and left.

For some reason, as Dirk watched Campbell's departing figure, he felt he seemed a bit older.

Perhaps it is so.

The three prominent families in Argentum enjoyed glory for a lifetime.

Now with their decline, Campbell Donovan is the only elder left among them, sometimes inevitably feeling lonely...
