A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 695 - 695

"Let go."

Dirk Carter said to Arlo Yarbrough.

Arlo, though reluctant, released his grip.

Dirk Carter walked up to the Turkey and asked, "Do you really like her?"

"Yes!"

The Turkey said angrily.

Dirk Carter nodded.

"Then why didn't you save her at the time?"

"I..."

The Turkey was momentarily speechless.

Dirk Carter let out a cold laugh and said, "If I saw the woman I liked being treated like that, I'd risk my life to fight them. But you, you hid in the cabinet and watched her being bullied. Didn't you even think to call the police?"

These words left the Turkey in utter shame.

His eyes filled with grief once more.

He no longer wanted to hit Dirk Carter and sat on the bed, looking at the dazed Eve Vincent.

He said, "Calling the police is useless, it's useless. No one dares to touch those people from The Maplewood Gang, not even me..."

As he spoke, his eyes welled up again.

Dirk Carter turned his head towards Bradford Lewis and said, "Call Fabian Vincent and ask him to come over!"

Bradford Lewis nodded.

He turned and left.

Dirk Carter then sat down beside Eve Vincent.

He touched her wrist and took her pulse.

The pulse indicated to Dirk Carter that Eve Vincent's body wasn't in grave danger; her abnormal state likely stemmed from severe psychological trauma.

After waiting about half an hour.

Led by Bradford Lewis.

Fabian Vincent was hastily brought into the room.

He immediately saw the sorry state of his daughter.

Fabian Vincent froze in place.

"Eve, what's happened to you? What's wrong?"

He rushed to Eve's side, clearly worried.

But Eve, lying there, didn't say a word, nor did she even glance at her father.

With no response.

Fabian Vincent then looked at Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter pointed at the Turkey and said, "He knows everything. Ask him."

Under Fabian Vincent's questioning, the Turkey recounted the events once more.

Upon learning it was The Maplewood Gang who humiliated his daughter.

His expression changed immediately.

He became shocked, incredulous.

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible. The Maplewood Gang wouldn't do such a thing. I'm very important to them. How could they hurt Eve like this?"

"When you have value to them, you're important. But now it's different. Someone more valuable has emerged, so you're just a discarded pawn, a chip to show goodwill to others."

Dirk Carter said.

Fabian Vincent didn't believe Dirk Carter's words.

He thought it was an attempt to sow discord.

He looked at the Turkey and asked, "Is he telling the truth?"

The Turkey nodded and said, "It's true. I checked. Herman Bates wants to cooperate with The Maplewood Gang, so... that's why this happened."

"Impossible. Absolutely impossible. I've done so much for them. How could they abandon me? No way. Absolutely no way. You must be conspiring against me..."

Fabian Vincent muttered these words.

He rushed towards Eve again.

"Eve, tell Dad the truth. This isn't real, right? This isn't real, right?"

"Mayor Vincent, you need to wake up. Compared to Herman Bates, do you really think your value is greater? You've repeatedly failed in the Koryn City Economic Development District and haven't secured enough benefits for them in Rexton City. Isn't it natural for them to abandon you? You don't really think they considered you as part of the inner circle, do you? Herman Bates is younger and more promising than you. Why on earth would they choose you over him?"

Dirk Carter's words were striking.

Fabian Vincent staggered slightly, disoriented.

Supported by Bradford Lewis beside him.

"I want revenge for your daughter! Will you help?"

Dirk Carter asked sternly.

Fabian Vincent looked at Dirk Carter.

Ultimately, he shook his head.

"It's useless. Behind The Maplewood Gang is the Houseman Family; no one dares touch them. Revenge is impossible, revenge is impossible..."

He kept repeating these words.

Fabian Vincent walked out of the motel room with a dejected look.

Arlo Yarbrough wanted to stop him.

But Dirk Carter held him back.

"Let it go. Don't bother with him. He's obsessed, blinded by power."

When Dirk Carter finished speaking.

He turned to look at Eve Vincent on the bed.

The motionless Eve shed tears from her eyes.

Clearly.

She was deeply disappointed by her father's behavior.

"Eve, it's okay. Those who hurt you will all face punishment. I'll make them kneel before you and beg for mercy. You can rest here peacefully."

Dirk Carter whispered in Eve Vincent's ear.

He was about to turn and leave.

Suddenly, Eve Vincent held his hand tightly.

"Don't go, don't go. They're very powerful. You can't take them on."

She murmured.

Dirk Carter chuckled slightly and said, "In this world, there's no one you can't confront, only whether you dare to. No one can freely act without punishment in front of me. Today, even if they're deities from The Heavenly Court, I'll cause a complete upheaval."

After saying these words.

Dirk Carter told Bradford Lewis, "You stand guard here. Call me anytime if anything happens."

"Alright, leader. Don't worry."

Bradford Lewis replied.

"Arlo, let's go!"

Dirk Carter said.

Just as the two were about to step out.

The Turkey stood up and said, "I'm going too. I'm more familiar with The Maplewood Gang than you are. I know where they are. I can help."

"You're not afraid of them anymore?"

Dirk Carter asked.

The Turkey glanced back at Eve Vincent.

"You're right. I'm a coward. But I've been cowardly once, and I don't want a second time."

Dirk Carter's face showed an appreciative smile.

They walked to the motel entrance.

Dirk Carter took out his phone.

This call was to the Forrest sisters, Ewan and Rose, in Koryn City.

Since no one dared touch them in Rexton City, since normal methods won't work, it's time to fight evil with evil, violence with violence. There's always a way forward.

Around 2:30 in the morning.

Dozens of off-road vehicles and business cars descended from Rexton City's highway entrance.

Around 3:00.

At the entrance of The Maplewood Gang's headquarters.

Bang!

The two wooden doors swung open.

Dirk Carter entered with Arlo Yarbrough and Ewan and Rose Forrest.

Several dozen houses quickly lit up.

Then.

Doors began to open one by one.

A number of shirtless or dragon-and-phoenix-tattooed men dashed out from inside.

Seeing outsiders, they quickly turned to grab weapons.

In no time.

Dirk Carter and his group were surrounded by these men wielding rods.

Soon after.

Squeak.

The central door opened.

A woman in a cheongsam gracefully stepped out.
