A Bumpy Road to Power

After returning to Veridia City,

Dirk Carter took three days to complete the handover of his work.

With this departure, Dirk has nothing that he cannot let go of.

The only regret to mention is that the revenge for his parents and Dylan Tate has not been fulfilled.

However, he is not discouraged.

The gap between himself and Rasco Shaw is still significant, and achieving such a great revenge under these conditions is unrealistic.

This trip to Novaria State is both an opportunity and a challenge for him.

The opportunity is that if I can establish myself in Novaria State, once Bohdan Sherwood takes office, I still have hope for further progress.

Challenges go without saying.

The "remnants" left behind by the Houseman Family must also be cleaned up thoroughly.

Otherwise, these people will become a major hidden threat in the future.

According to the plan.

Dirk Carter plans to accompany Dorothy Zechariah back to Serenity State first.

It has been more than half a year since I last saw my child.

I genuinely miss them.

Then I will head to Novaria State to take up my post from Serenity State.

After all, the two states border each other, so traveling by land is more convenient.

During the first few days of the handover work,

Dirk Carter bid farewell to everyone one by one.

Especially those who came from other places to Veridia City to help him, such as Dahlia Hughes, Gwendolyn Lewis, Rosalind Sullivan, and others.

The night before departing,

Dirk Carter asked Dorothy Zechariah for a leave.

At eight o'clock in the evening,

he took a taxi to The Empyrean Palace.

As before,

upon hearing that he would come, Aurora was already waiting for him at the door.

But unlike usual, today Aurora was not dressed in a very sexy outfit; instead, she wore a women's suit, looking very gallant.

"I think you look better dressed like this."

Dirk Carter praised with a thumbs-up.

Aurora blushed.

She said to Dirk Carter, "Thank you, Dirk. Mr. Sinclair has already promoted me to front hall manager. I think, without you, I wouldn't have achieved this today."

Dirk Carter patted her on the shoulder and said, "No need to thank me, you deserve it all. Do a good job, and if we meet again, I hope you are doing better than now."

Aurora responded with a sound of agreement.

She nodded heavily and said, "Dirk, I also hope you will be even better."

Finished speaking.

Led by Aurora,

Dirk Carter took the elevator.

As he got out of the elevator, a fragrant aroma filled his nostrils.

The scene before his eyes pleasantly surprised Dirk Carter.

The once empty corridor now featured a row of flower stands.

There were various vases placed on the flower stands.

Each vase was filled with fresh flowers, looking very beautiful.

"The young lady instructed us to set them up. She said it would make people feel happier."

Basilio Sinclair appeared behind him at some point and said.

"Where is Claire Kane?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Basilio Sinclair smiled slightly, pointed at the office door, and then turned and left.

Dirk Carter arrived at the doorway.

He found that the door was ajar.

Pushing the door open, the scene that greeted him was even more dazzling.

The once vast and empty office was now filled with various furniture.

However, the style was completely different from other boss offices.

The overall room design leaned towards pink.

Pink sofas, pink bookshelves, even the walls were painted pink.

It resembled a fairytale princess castle.

In many corners, there were all sorts of dolls and Lego toys. To an unwitting person, it would seem as if they had stumbled into a young girl's boudoir.

In the center.

Claire Kane stood there in a dress.

Compared to her usual lazy and casual style, today she looked even more beautiful.

As if she were a Snow White from a Western fairytale.

"When my parents were alive, they liked to dress me up like a princess, and I had a princess dream since I was a child. After the incident, these things I once loved never appeared in my room again. But now it's fine; I've avenged them, and I can finally return to a normal life in peace. Thank you, Dirk."

Claire Kane said with some emotion while looking at Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter waved his hand.

He said, "You don't need to thank me. I was able to stay in Veridia City thanks to you. Without you, nothing that followed would have happened. You are the greatest contributor to this matter. If your uncle and aunt are watching from above, they can rest in peace."

These words.

Touched Claire Kane deeply.

Her eyes got a bit wet for a moment.

Suddenly feeling it wasn't ideal.

She wiped away her tears.

Taking a deep breath, she said, "I heard you're leaving tomorrow, right?"

Dirk Carter nodded.

He said, "An iron-clad base with flowing soldiers, I'm just a brick of the revolution, wherever needed, it gets moved. I've gotten used to it over the years."

"Let's have a drink then."

Claire Kane walked over to a nearby dining table.

There were already plenty of food laid out on it.

And in the middle of the table, there was a bottle of red wine.

"Can you drink?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Claire Kane confidently patted her chest and said, "After your treatment, I'm now much better. I asked the doctor, and the doctor said a small cup is fine."

"Alright then, let's have a drink, consider it a farewell drink."

After Dirk Carter spoke,

he picked up the wine bottle and poured a small glass for each of them.

They both raised their glasses together and downed them in one gulp.

"Wow, I never thought red wine could be this good. I used to always see customers downstairs swap drinks without having tried it myself. I kind of like this taste now."

Claire Kane said, shaking her empty wine glass.

"You have quite a good tolerance for alcohol, downing it in one go on your first try. Once your health is fully recovered, you'll definitely become an alcoholic, hahaha..."

Dirk Carter teased.

Claire Kane also laughed along.

But as she laughed, tears started to roll down her cheeks.

To prevent Dirk Carter from seeing it,

she suddenly proposed, "How about we go to the rooftop to have a look at the moon? Today is the sixteenth, the day when the moon is the fullest in the month."

Dirk Carter, not wanting to dampen her spirits,

nodded and agreed to it.

The two of them went up to the rooftop together.

Even though it's nighttime,

everything was so familiar.

Dirk Carter remembered that it was on this rooftop where he treated Claire Kane.

It was also here that he suddenly understood the treatment method for such a condition.

Just as Claire Kane said,

today's moon was indeed very bright and round.

Like a disc hanging in midair.

They sat together on the steps.

Claire Kane rested her head on Dirk Carter's shoulder, everything looked so beautiful.

"Do you think Chang'e would feel lonely on the moon?"

Claire Kane suddenly asked.

Though it was a childish question,

Dirk Carter still smiled and said, "No, because she has the Jade Rabbit to keep her company."

"But the Jade Rabbit can't talk with her."

"Isn't there also Gus Wright chopping trees? They can chat."

Dirk Carter said.

At this moment,

Claire Kane sighed and said, "Yes, Chang'e has Gus Wright with her, but where is my Gus Wright?"
