A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 568:

"Don't move, all of you stand still. Bring my brother out for me."

Facing the crowd coming over.

Ephraim Carter wasn't flustered at all.

It could be seen that he was a person who had seen the world.

Under the gunpoint, none of Bill Bates' underlings dared to act rashly.

Ephraim Carter appeared very smug, looking at everyone with disdainful eyes.

At this moment.

Ephraim Carter suddenly sensed some movement behind him.

He desperately tried to turn around, but it was too late.

An ashtray came flying directly toward his face.

Trying to turn the gun around, it was already too late, and with a thud, Ephraim Carter collapsed on the ground.

Despite the blow, he hadn't passed out yet.

Just as he was about to get up.

Bill Bates shouted, "Take him down!"

His underlings swarmed forward.

Pinning Ephraim Carter to the ground.

The Leopard Cat walked forward, stepping on Ephraim Carter's wrist.

Wrapping his gun with a towel, he examined it closely, then turned to Dirk Carter and said, "Dirk, it's a police gun, must be Commissioner Irving's."

The police gun was found.

Dirk Carter finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, whether this gun could be found was too important to Irving Pace.

The gagged Ephraim Carter struggled fiercely, staring at Dirk Carter with fiery eyes. Dirk glanced at him and said, "Take him away."

With Ephraim Carter captured.

Now, only the last big brother Josh Carter was left.

Gabe Carter was a gambler, Ephraim was lustful, and the eldest Josh Carter, who hadn't even met Bill Bates, was the toughest nut to crack.

All three brothers were desperadoes, extracting confessions from them was clearly difficult.

Just as everyone thought tonight's battle was over.

Suddenly, the roar of a motorcycle sounded outside.

Looking up.

At the edge of the woods, a red motorcycle was speeding away.

No surprise, it was Josh Carter.

He was indeed smart, sending his brother to rescue people while he hid in the shadows, watching the outcome. Seeing Ephraim Carter knocked out, he fled in panic.

"Quickly, pursue him."

Bill Bates shouted.

Dirk Carter grabbed him.

He said, "It's alright, no need to chase him; I've already set up people outside."

Sure enough.

As Josh Carter rode out of the woods, just about to hit the road, two cars on the roadside quickly started up and crashed toward his motorcycle.

A loud crash was heard.

The motorcycle flew.

Josh Carter also flew.

After landing heavily, the people Teresa Thorne loaned out swarmed over and pinned him to the ground.

Thus.

All three Carter brothers were captured.

Two days later.

A banner hung at the entrance of the Apex Group building, reading "Apex Group Share Transfer Signing Ceremony."

The hall inside was lit with lanterns and festooned with flower baskets.

To those unaware, it seemed like Apex Group had something to celebrate.

In the middle, there was a table covered with a red cloth.

Soon, the share transfer contract belonging to Bennett Kane at Apex Group would be signed on this table.

Most of the Apex Group's directors were present.

All prepared to witness this historic moment.

At the entrance of the building.

A convoy slowly drove up.

After the first car door opened, two people got out from the passenger seat.

First to appear was Fabian Vincent, acting Mayor of Rexton City.

On the other side exited the newly appointed Mayor of Koryn City, Elliot Douglas.

Elliot Douglas was over fifty.

He had a large bald patch.

A few long strands of hair were combed from right to left, barely covering the shiny top, looking quite comical.

Amidst rounds of enthusiastic applause.

The rear door of a Maybach also opened.

A man in his thirties, full of smiles, got out.

This person was Elihu Houseman, chairman of Apex Investments.

The son of Elston Houseman, the eldest son of the Houseman Family.

Today, Elihu Houseman was dressed exquisitely, in a well-tailored suit, clearly custom-made.

This situation was evidence of success and pride.

When Bennett Kane was still around, Apex Group's stock price was as high as 32 yuan per share.

Due to Bennett's imprisonment, Apex Group fell rapidly several times, and now the stock price is only eight or nine yuan per share.

Acquiring Apex Group at one-third of the original price, it's clear that Apex Investments was making a huge profit.

With a large enterprise like Apex Group as a backing.

The Houseman Family's economic achievements would reach a new level. Next, in the business world, they would have the capacity to compete with the Hughes Family.

Amidst a crowd of followers.

Everyone happily walked into the hall.

Fabian Vincent glanced around.

He asked, "Where is Mandy Childers? Why isn't she here yet?"

The person in charge of the reception shook his head and said, "She should be here already. I'll call and find out."

After Fabian Vincent nodded in agreement.

That person hurriedly left.

Anyway, there was still time.

Fabian Vincent invited Elihu Houseman to sit on the sofa, where a group gathered in small groups discussing something, and from their expressions, their spirits were genuinely high.

Political victories.

Plus, today's business triumph.

Everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.

As everyone laughed merrily.

Footsteps were heard at the entrance.

Thinking it was Mandy Childers.

Fabian Vincent and the others stood up one by one.

Looking through the crowd.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

A group of men, also in black suits, walked in quickly.

Leading them was none other than Dirk Carter.

Beside Dirk was a middle-aged man, unfamiliar to Fabian Vincent and the others, unknown to them.

"Why are you here?"

As Dirk Carter approached, Fabian Vincent frowned and asked.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and said, "Mayor Vincent is here, can't I come?"

Upon hearing this.

Fabian Vincent instantly understood.

He sneered and said, "Here to cause trouble? But it's too late, the signing ceremony is about to start, and with me here, even if you want to cause a scene, I won't allow it."

"Are you Dirk Carter?"

Suddenly.

Elihu Houseman came forward, smilingly asking Dirk.

Dirk responded with a mocking smile, "This must be Chairman Houseman of Apex Investments, right?"

Elihu Houseman nodded slightly, asked, "Mr. Carter, I hear you've been having a tough time lately?"

"Not bad, I can sleep well. But does Chairman Houseman dream of Teresa Thorne and the others every night?"

Dirk asked with a grin.

Upon saying this.

Elihu Houseman's face changed.

He laughed instead, sneeringly saying, "Dirk Carter, just words won't help you, reality is right in front of us. Even if you realize it, what can you change? Can time possibly reverse? Hahaha..."

"It seems Chairman Houseman of Apex Group is quite determined?"

Dirk asked.

Elihu Houseman sneered disdainfully, "Of course, so I advise you not to waste your time, carry on with your life, Apex Group's doors don't welcome you."

"It's not up to you to say who's welcome, it's up to me. Folks, escort these people out!"

Dirk gave a command.

The black suits he brought surrounded Elihu Houseman instantly.

Dirk continued, "Chairman Houseman, please leave. Apex Group doesn't welcome you."

Elihu Houseman appeared incredulous and asked, "Dirk Carter, are you sure you want to play the gangster card? Are you overestimating yourself? Do you think you have the qualifications to force me out?"
