A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 429: Strength Is Qualification

Dirk Carter was completely stunned.

The Leopard Cat then informed him.

From the moment Dirk Carter arrived in Rexton City, his every move was under her surveillance.

She had been closely following the incident that happened today in the alley near the pedestrian street, including Dirk Carter taking those kids to the hotel.

Of course, she only saw it, without knowing the inside story.

She thought those kids had some special relationship with Dirk Carter.

So after Dirk Carter returned to the hotel, she went back to the alley and just happened to meet Canister, who came to arrest people.

Out of hatred for Dirk Carter.

She told Canister the location of the small hotel where the group was hiding.

Upon hearing this.

Dirk Carter suddenly sat up from the bed.

At that moment, he really wanted to lash out at the Leopard Cat.

He took a deep breath and forcibly held back.

Then he explained everything in detail.

The Leopard Cat's originally calm face also became tense.

She said with some guilt, "I didn't know they had such experiences, I thought..."

"Thought what?"

Dirk Carter asked.

The Leopard Cat swallowed her words and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."

The two of them hurried down from the hotel.

First rushed to the hotel.

As expected, the owner told Dirk Carter that the people staying had been taken away by a group of people.

The leader was a bald man.

It was already midnight by this time.

Previously, Arden Rivers mentioned that Canister's base was near the pedestrian street, so the two of them returned to the pedestrian street again.

At this time, the street was already deserted.

The two were at a loss as to where to find people.

Suddenly.

The Leopard Cat had a sudden inspiration.

She asked, "Do you have cash on you?"

"Cash? What do you want to do?"

"Do you have it or not?"

"Yes!"

Dirk Carter pulled out a wad of money from his wallet, about three thousand.

The Leopard Cat folded it and put it in Dirk Carter's back pocket, letting a corner of the money show, and whispered, "Since we can't find them, let's let them come to us."

Then she took Dirk Carter's arm and said, "Now we are a couple out shopping late at night; act like it."

With that.

She rested her head on Dirk Carter's chest.

Dirk Carter was momentarily stunned.

He understood what she wanted to do.

So he naturally put his arm around her shoulder.

The two pretended to be intimate and affectionate, slowly making their way to the other end.

"Don't think you've conquered me, I'm just giving you ten more days, don't overthink it."

After walking a few steps, the Leopard Cat explained.

Dirk Carter chuckled inside.

He said, "Of course, I said after ten days, you can do whatever you want."

They chatted casually.

Suddenly, the Leopard Cat squeezed Dirk Carter's waist.

Just as he was about to ask what was wrong.

The Leopard Cat whispered, "Don't turn around, someone is following us from the eight o'clock direction."

Dirk Carter looked at the glass door of a closed store on the roadside and sure enough, not too far away, there was a young man hiding in the shadows under the streetlight, following them step by step.

The two exchanged a glance.

They understood each other.

They entered a 24-hour convenience store by the roadside.

As expected.

Shortly after they entered.

The young man followed them inside.

Dirk Carter and the Leopard Cat pretended to be picking out items, while the young man also headed to a shelf behind them, pretending to pick things out.

Taking advantage of their inattention.

The young man quickly turned and snatched the cash from Dirk Carter's pocket.

After the successful theft.

He didn't leave immediately.

Instead, he casually strolled out of the store.

Since the fish had bitten the bait.

They didn't need to maintain the charade any longer.

They quickly followed him out.

Sure enough, the young man glanced at the cash in his hand and quickly slipped into a dark alley.

He had no idea that Dirk Carter and the Leopard Cat were following him at a distance.

They didn't know how many circles they went around.

Just when they were starting to feel lost.

The young man arrived at the entrance of a small two-story compound.

He knocked hard on the iron door.

Shortly after.

The door opened.

The thief quickly slipped inside.

No one around.

Dirk Carter and the Leopard Cat sprinted forward and climbed the wall.

They poked their heads in to look inside.

They saw that the courtyard was quite large, occupying at least 60 square meters.

In the back, there was a two-story building, with lights shining brightly on both floors.

A burst of raucous laughter came from the open door.

Sitting around an Eight Immortals Table in the living room were six or seven people, with the bald man at the head.

The table was full of cold dishes, and there were several wine bottles scattered on the floor.

From their animated gestures, you could tell they were pretty drunk.

"Come on, drink up, drink up."

Canister shouted with a raised wine glass.

Suddenly, the yellow-haired guy who had been beaten by Dirk Carter earlier clutched his stomach and said, "Canister bro, my stomach hurts, I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be right back."

"Lazy donkey has a lot of poo and pee, hurry up and get lost!"

Canister cursed.

He watched the yellow-haired guy anxiously dash out of the living room door.

Just as he was about to continue.

There was a sudden wail.

The yellow-haired guy's body flew back in through the door, his back hitting the edge of the table heavily; if it weren't for people sitting at the table, the table might have flipped over.

The sudden turn of events startled everyone present.

But Canister reacted quickly.

He slammed his hand down on the table.

Angrily he said, "Guys, someone's causing trouble, follow me out to take a look."

With that said.

A bunch of people rushed out.

In the courtyard stood two people, a man and a woman.

Canister, drunk and groggy, didn't recognize them at first; it was the guy with the broken finger that spotted them and shouted to the bald man, "Boss... boss, it's the asshole who helped Little Arden."

"Hmm?"

Canister opened his eyes wide.

Then suddenly burst out laughing, saying, "Worn-out shoes without rice, everything is kung fu, I didn't look for you, and you came to find me, fine, fine, I just couldn't swallow this anger, today I'll show you that Canister from the pedestrian street is not easy to bully."

"Boss, it's 'worn-out shoes nowhere to be found, got it without effort.'"

The guy with the broken finger corrected from the side.

Canister slapped him on the head and shouted, "If I say it's rice, it's rice."

"Yes, yes, it's rice, it's rice!" the yellow-haired guy said meekly.

"Where's Arden Rivers?"

Dirk Carter wasn't in the mood to banter with them.

He asked in a somewhat gloomy tone.

Canister proudly said, "You got eyes for her, huh? Tsk tsk tsk, too bad, you're a step late, I sold her."

"Sold where?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Canister said, "Where I sold her, why should I tell you, do you have the right to talk to me like that?"

"What do you mean by right?"

Dirk Carter asked.

The guy with the broken finger puffed up his chest and said boastfully, "Strength is the right."
