A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 605 - 605

The tone of satire is strong.

Thought Draven Hayes would be afraid.

Didn't expect not even the slightest bit.

He sneered and asked, "Executive Carter, oh Executive Carter, you've really lost your mind over a woman, do you not know you're in deep trouble?"

"Oh? Deep trouble? Well, I'm curious to see just what kind of deep trouble,"

Dirk Carter casually replied.

As soon as he finished speaking.

A dense sound of footsteps echoed behind him.

Everyone turned to see a man in an administrative jacket striding in with imposing presence.

Beside him were quite a few people, each looking rather authoritative.

More threatening was the armed police following him, who quickly surrounded Dirk Carter and his group upon entering the hall.

No wonder Draven Hayes was so fearless.

Turns out he had a plan all along.

"Are you Dirk Carter?"

The man in the administrative jacket led his way to the center of the crowd and directed his question at Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter remained composed and nodded.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is…"

"No need, you are Colson Hayes, the current mayor of Ronan City."

Colson Hayes had just begun to speak but was interrupted by Dirk Carter.

Upon hearing this.

Colson Hayes chuckled.

And said, "Seems like you've done your homework, Dirk Carter. Since that's the case, I won't waste words. We've received reports, you are suspected of intentional injury and brawling, you're now under arrest, please cooperate."

After saying that.

He waved his hand.

The police prepared to close in on Dirk Carter.

Unexpectedly, the people Dirk Carter brought with him crowded around, blocking the path of the police.

"Dirk Carter, what do you mean by this, obstructing official duties?"

Colson Hayes questioned.

Faced with such a situation.

Dirk Carter remained calm and asked, "Mayor Hayes, are you standing up for your nephew?"

"So what if I am? Dirk Carter, I told you, cross me and there's no good ending, you claim to be good at fighting, well, go ahead and hit me now if you have the guts."

With Colson Hayes present.

Draven Hayes naturally felt emboldened.

He walked directly up to Dirk Carter, tilted his head, and provocatively patted his own cheek.

With a slap.

Dirk Carter, without a thought, slapped him fiercely.

The slap was so powerful.

Draven Hayes was sent flying, if not for someone behind him catching him, he might have fallen to the ground.

"Dirk Carter, how dare you!"

Seeing Dirk Carter dare to hit someone in his presence, Colson Hayes was furious.

Dirk Carter shrugged.

And said, "Mayor Hayes, you heard him yourself, he asked me to hit him. Since he's your nephew, I've got to give him that honor, otherwise wouldn't things be dull."

"Men, arrest Dirk Carter for me, if anyone stands in the way, take them all away!"

Colson Hayes no longer wanted to argue.

He issued the strictest command.

Suddenly, Dirk Carter's expression turned grim, and he asked Colson Hayes, "Mayor Hayes, are you sure you want to go against me?"

"Why? You committed a crime on my turf and I can't take you?"

Colson Hayes asked disdainfully.

Dirk Carter nodded slightly and said, "Alright, since all the key figures have appeared, this farce can finally end."

He took out his phone.

Dialed a number.

And said, "Come in."

As soon as the call ended.

Sirens blared at the entrance.

Several cars drove consecutively into the parking lot at the headquarters of the Stansen Group.

Once the cars stopped.

All doors opened.

Suits and uniformed police jogged into the hall.

Leading them was another man in an administrative jacket.

Colson Hayes saw him.

His expression immediately changed.

"Mr. Wright, why are you here?"

Finally unable to hold his composure.

Colson Hayes proactively greeted him, respectfully.

The man appeared to be over fifty.

His hair sparse, his face cold, none other than Thatcher Wright, a member and secretary of the Serenity State Committee.

He said to Colson Hayes, "Mr. Hayes, please come with us."

"Why?"

Colson Hayes sensed major trouble and asked with some surprise.

Thatcher Wright sneered and said, "Why? Corruption and bribery, abuse of power, and you're asking me why? Enough talk, take him away!"

He waved his hand.

Several members from the State Commission for Discipline Inspection encircled Colson Hayes.

"No, Mr. Wright, I'm innocent, I didn't do it, I'm innocent…"

Just moments ago, filled with arrogance, Colson Hayes now sounded pained, but Thatcher Wright did not provide him a chance to plead, dismissively waved his hand again.

And so, within five minutes of arriving, Colson Hayes became the first casualty.

After Colson Hayes was taken away.

Thatcher Wright approached Dirk Carter, and the two shook hands.

Thatcher Wright quietly said, "Dirk Carter, the task from Mr. Holt has been completed, please extend my greetings."

"Thank you, Mr. Wright, I will certainly do so."

"Alright, I'll be taking my leave then."

Thatcher Wright came swiftly and left swiftly, leading his team away.

This scene.

Left everyone present stunned.

The Ronan City Police Department, seeing Colson Hayes being taken away, dared not join the chaos, and quickly ordered the team to retreat.

As a result.

Draven Hayes' support was thoroughly cut off by Dirk Carter.

The shock was something Elroy Hayes and Draven Hayes could not fully comprehend.

"Alright, it's much quieter now, next, it's your turn."

Dirk Carter pointed his hand at Elroy Hayes.

Elroy Hayes stepped back in fright.

But soon regained his composure.

After all, he was someone who had witnessed the big scenes.

He took a deep breath and said, "Dirk Carter, didn't expect you had some tricks, but it's merely knowing people in official circles, you do not have the qualifications to touch me. I'm standing here, let's see how you plan to do it?"

"Stubborn until the end."

Dirk Carter muttered, then nonchalantly snapped his fingers.

Two middle-aged men in suits appeared at the entrance.

"Mr. Grant, why are you here?"

Seeing this middle-aged man, Elroy Hayes seemed surprised.

Because the man walking over was Cadence Grant, Vice Chairman of the Pangaea Group.

Cadence Grant did not respond to Elroy Hayes.

Directly taking a document from the person behind him, he loudly declared, "During Elroy Hayes' tenure as chairman, he caused irreparable severe consequences to the company. After board discussion, it is decided to dismiss Elroy Hayes from the position of chairman, effective immediately."

Then.

He took another document.

Read aloud, "After board discussion, it is decided to appoint Dorothy Zechariah as chairman of Pangaea Group, effective immediately."
