Following Roger’s order, the massive LED screen embedded on the wall behind him lit up. Something started to appear on the screen. The first scene that appeared was a huge construction site. “That's the Golden Edge construction site!” Someone immediately recognized the site project. Golden Edge was a new mall in the city, currently undergoing construction. It had a total investment of over a billion. The scene then cut to the front gate of the site. A red banner was being pulled up. “Golden Edge Project Department Congratulates the NEW Construction and Material Society on the Rebuilding Ceremony!” Below were the workers at the site, lining up neatly and clapping their hands. Judging from the time frame displayed on the screen, it was live. The scene reminded everyone of an incident that happened recently. It was said that Bob sent his men to cause trouble at the Golden Edge construction site. The person in charge of the site ultimately submitted and agreed to st
This time, everyone looked at Kaze as if he was a corpse. They believed Kaze would not continue to be stubborn after witnessing the power of the Construction and Material Society, but they were wrong. “Roger Hilfinger, you are not worthy of judging me.” Kaze remained seated with a scornful look. He stared at Roger, finding it amusing for all that he had done just to display his power. Roger said coldly, “A stubborn one I see. Your support, Perfect World Group, is going down. Ray Forrester is just a coward and he’s not even here at the ceremony! “Gold Tooth and Dan Niners are useless. I can kill them if I want to. What else do you think you have against me? Your status as the son-in-law of the Quint family? Hahaha…” He cackled. “The Quint family is just a second-tier family. I just need to send one board member there and even Master Quint would kneel before me, let alone your wife who has no power in the family. No one can protect you now. I can kill you with just one pinch!
Following the scream, two thousand people in the hall switched their attention to the big screen on stage. The screen was switched back to the Golden Edge construction site. It was still live but the workers with the congratulatory banner were gone. Loud sirens could be heard from the site. Then police cruisers entered the frame, followed by multiple green armored cars. Common police officers and riot police officers came down from the cruisers. The green armored vehicles unloaded a battalion of fully-armed soldiers. They were equipped with live rounds and were ready to take out their targets. “Arrest them all!” The captain of the operation gave the signal. The police officers and soldiers charged into the construction site. In less than a minute, more than a hundred gangsters were arrested. Some gangsters were bleeding and bruised, and they were dragged across the ground like ragdolls. They were thrown into the armored vehicles mercilessly. Bob, one of the boar
Everything went dead silent. Underneath everyone’s mortified look was their hearts pounding anxiously. The numbers that the vice police chief provided were like three heavy attacks that landed on everyone’s heart, inflicting critical damage. More than 2,300 gangsters were arrested and they were the men of the fifteen board members of the society. The gangsters were scattered across 109 construction sites yet they were all arrested in less than five minutes. The police force and the Tiger Fangs mobilized more than ten thousand men for the operation. An operation with ten thousand police officers and soldiers! It had never happened before in the history of Lilyrose. The most surprising thing was that no one got news on it or foresaw it coming. Roger’s blank look said it all. Even after all the gangsters were arrested, he still had no idea how it happened. “Why? Why did you arrest them?” Roger looked in Don and Shin’s direction with a blank look, murmuring. The fifte
“No! I won’t accept this! There are two thousand people here and they are all influential figures. Since we still have some men outside, why don’t we hold them hostage and force the police to let us go! “After we get out, we’ll escape the city. With our influence and resources, we can make a comeback elsewhere!” Maybe Bob had lost his mind or maybe he was born a fugitive. He knew the odds were against him and he considered taking the risk to escape. The other gangster bosses were horrified, their legs turned weak. Only a few of them had a ferocious gaze in their eyes, wondering if they should take the risk. Most of the gangster bosses were still sane, but Bob had decided for them without their consent. He turned around and shouted, “You want to ruin us?! No fucking way! You think we can’t do anything after you arrest our men? Do you know how many people we have around Universal Tower?! “Don Braders, Shin Scarlet, one word and my men will come in here to take control of the
Not only Roger, Kelly, and Haiden, but the others were confused as well. All two thousand guests in the hall were similarly baffled. Then, the vice commander of the Garo Spec Ops Team who led the operation, Jayden Belfast, went up to Koga and saluted. “Deputy Commander, report! The Garo Spec Ops Team has joined forces with Lilyrose for the anti-riot cooperation and successfully completed all assigned missions. Order, sir!” Koga saluted back and said, “Standby and wait for the commander’s order.” Everyone was shocked. Judging from Jayden’s words, Koga seemed to be the deputy commander of this operation. In that case, who was the main commander? Shin Scarlet? It should not be because he had the same rank as Koga. Don Braders? Impossible. He was just the chief of police, which was lower ranked than the brigadier general. Shin and Koga were probably taking orders from the mayor, Johnson. “Could Mayor Brooks be the main commander of this operation?” Everyone turn
The hall with two thousand people was dead silent. However, in places that the ears could not hear, people’s hearts were pounding rapidly. They breathed heavily and some even forgot to breathe. Shocking! Astonishing! Unbelievable! Not a single word or all of them combined could describe their feelings. The abandoned son of the Lee family, the son-in-law of the Quint family, the retard who had been locked up in the psychiatric ward for five years, the trash that everyone looked down on, was the main commander of the anti-riot operation?! The mayor, the brigadier generals, and the chief of police all listened to his command. Then, under everyone’s blank gaze, Kaze, who had been sitting for a while, finally got up. He looked at Roger, whose face had turned pale and his eyes had turned blank. He smiled and said, “Roger Hilfinger, what do you think of this?” Roger asked him a similar question when he was on stage. Now, Kaze wanted to return the favor. Roger’s expressio
“Kaze, I was wrong. I shouldn’t oppose you! Please let me go, please spare my family…” Roger knelt before Kaze, prostrating and hitting his head on the ground. He knew he was finished when he found out Kaze was the main commander of the operation. The Construction and Material Society was over, and so was the Hilfinger family. Based on what he did to Kaze, there was no reason for Kaze to spare him. Even the Lee family from the capital could not protect him anymore. He did not know who Kaze was, but as someone who could order the army around, he was someone so powerful that not even the Lee family could offend him. The massive anti-riot operation, involving tens of thousands of police and soldiers, managed to go unnoticed by the Lee family, despite having their men all over the city. It was the best proof that Kaze was more powerful than the Lee family! Kaze scoffed and said, “You went after my wife, do you think I’ll let you go that easily?” Roger shuddered. He regret
