A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 676 676

To Kanes Bates.

This scene is extremely humiliating.

The dignified deputy mayor, his own woman serving other men right in front of him, no one would believe it if he told them.

But it actually happened.

"Ah... So satisfying... Really intense."

The turkey monster screamed.

He grabbed Susan's hair with one hand, looked at Kanes Bates, took a deep breath, and said, "Mayor Bates, your performance was good, the matter from Fairview County will not be pursued to you from now on, you can rest easy."

If anyone else said that, you'd think they were bragging.

But if someone from The Maplewood Gang says it, it's completely different.

Kanes Bates asked in surprise, "Really? I'm really off the hook?"

"The Maplewood Gang's word is good, if they say you're fine, you're fine, and they'll send you a gift."

Kanes Bates was startled.

Asked, "Gift? What gift?"

The turkey pulled a letter from his pocket.

Tossed it to Kanes Bates.

After opening it, there was a piece of paper inside.

He glanced at it briefly.

His eyes revealed excitement...

"Mr. Turkey, I'm feeling a bit unwell, may I go to the bathroom?"

Kanes Bates suddenly stood up and asked.

The turkey smiled with satisfaction.

Said, "Please go ahead, Mayor Bates."

The bathroom was in the room.

Kanes Bates didn't go to the room, but directly left the living room, and didn't forget to close the door when he got to the entrance.

The hand that was holding Susan's hair suddenly tightened.

Susan wailed mournfully, lifted by the turkey.

Then the turkey's hand grabbed her neck, making her support herself on the sofa armrest.

Then lifted her hips high.

Aimed the gun nozzle between Susan's legs.

"Mr. Turkey, not there, not there, don't go in, don't go in..."

Susan pleaded.

But there was no use at all.

The turkey used force on his waist, Susan's expression froze on her face.

Next, there was only the sound of painful whimpers.

In the living room, the turkey's heavy breathing and the sound of applause for love echoed...

Monday.

Dirk Carter had just walked into his office.

He saw Arlo Yarbrough humming a little tune while wiping the desk, seemingly in a very good mood.

Dirk stood at the door, staring at him, not moving.

Arlo Yarbrough saw the shadow at the door with the corner of his eye, was startled, patted his chest, and chided, "Are you a ghost or something, walking without making a sound?"

Dirk Carter with a mischievous smile, said, "Yo, so happy, what's the good news, share it."

"What good news, can't a person sing?"

Arlo Yarbrough said.

Dirk Carter shook his head, said, "Something's off, really off, you're hiding something from me."

"No, really nothing, what could I have going on?"

Arlo Yarbrough said somewhat guiltily.

Dirk Carter observed him from top to bottom.

Then sniffed the air hard.

Said, "Rosy cheeks, satisfied expression, even wearing perfume, you didn't take Elaine Nolan down, did you?"

"What do you mean take down, it sounds terrible, it's mutual attraction, mutual delight."

Arlo Yarbrough said.

Dirk Carter exclaimed loudly.

Startled Arlo Yarbrough.

"What's with you, acting so jumpy?"

"Really took her down?" Dirk leaned in to ask.

Arlo Yarbrough, like a shy bride, then pursed his lips, said, "Wasn't it easy, with my charm, what woman could resist, a piece of cake."

"You won't say, right? Then I'll tell Elaine Nolan right now, let's see if she's really impressed by your charm."

Saying that, he started reaching for his phone.

At this, Arlo Yarbrough got nervous.

Grabbed Dirk Carter's wrist, said, "I'll tell you properly, took her to see a movie last night, a horror movie, she got scared into my arms, then... then..."

"Then you guys started something at the cinema?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Arlo Yarbrough rolled his eyes at him.

Angrily said, "Could you not talk so crudely, what do you mean started something, I just took the chance to kiss her forehead."

"That's it?"

"That's it, what more do you want?"

Arlo Yarbrough asked.

Dirk Carter dismissed it, "Pfft" he said, "I thought things would go smoothly, turns out you didn't even get to the lips."

Dropping the bag.

Dirk Carter was about to get some water.

Arlo Yarbrough got serious.

Asked, "Did you hear? The deputy county head responsible for water resources in Fairview County was arrested, the county head might face disciplinary action too."

"Is it because of the Wyvern River Dam incident?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Arlo Yarbrough nodded, said, "Yesterday morning, the province organized a investigation team, preliminarily decided this."

"What about Kanes Bates?"

"Kanes Bates wasn't touched, the investigation results indicated the collapse was due to the Wyvern River Dam's aging deterioration, not related to Kanes Bates' command and presence, no decision-making error involved."

Upon hearing this.

Dirk Carter's actions suddenly halted.

Kanes Bates actually escaped unscathed, he hadn't anticipated this at all.

The investigation team's result took a very clever angle, placing all the blame on the deputy county head responsible, looks like Kanes Bates found someone to pressure at the provincial level, otherwise such a result wouldn't be possible.

"Is there anything else?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Arlo Yarbrough thought for a moment, said, "The city office notified, at ten this morning, an anti-flood commendation conference is to be held at the hall, make sure to attend."

"Okay, got it."

Dirk Carter replied.

In all of Rexton City.

The flood situation in Goldridge County was the most severe.

But the outcome was also the most successful.

No need to say, Dirk Carter at this summary conference will surely be recognized.

10 AM.

The rarely used city hall came to life.

Representatives from enterprises and districts involved in the 726 anti-flood mission arrived one after another.

The large hall seating over a hundred was also completely filled.

Just as Dirk Carter entered.

An impatient Carmelo Garrison immediately greeted him with a smile.

Exchanging pleasantries.

The majestic march began to play.

This meant the main leaders were about to enter.

Everyone found their seats and sat down.

Indeed.

Thunderous applause greeted them.

The city party secretary Herman Bates, mayor Fabian Vincent, chairman Foster Woods, and other key city leadership filed in, taking their seats at the main stage.

Have to say.

This summary conference boasts quite the lineup.

As the applause died down and before the speeches began.

Herman Bates' secretary Adelaide Linden suddenly ran in hurriedly.

Whispered something in Herman Bates' ear.

Clearly, his expression changed.
