A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 699 699

This person is Fabian Vincent.

"You knew he'd come?"

Arlo Yarbrough was quite surprised to see Fabian Vincent.

He softly asked Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "Of course, I asked him to come."

"Why would he listen to you?"

Arlo Yarbrough scratched his head and asked.

Dirk Carter said, "He has no other choice; Eve Vincent being tortured like this already shows that The Maplewood Gang has completely abandoned him. Even if he grovels to The Maplewood Gang, his status within will plummet. Moreover, those behind The Maplewood Gang won't reuse Fabian Vincent; he knows this very well. Instead of staying put and being slaughtered, standing up to fight back and help me eliminate The Maplewood Gang is his way to survival."

"So, he's not doing it for his daughter but for himself?"

"Yes, he's still doing it for himself. People like him are already obsessed to the point of no redemption."

Dirk Carter said somewhat ruefully.

Arlo Yarbrough still didn't understand.

At the motel, Fabian Vincent clearly didn't dare to fight The Maplewood Gang.

Why does he trust Dirk Carter now?

Could it be that Dirk Carter has prepared some backup plan?

Seeing Fabian Vincent.

Irene and Cary Shepherd were also surprised.

"Mayor Vincent, why are you here?"

Cary Shepherd asked.

Fabian Vincent's face was overcast as he said, "If I didn't come, Secretary Shepherd might break through the sky of Rexton City."

"Mayor Vincent, what do you mean? I lack that courage. But you, Mayor Vincent, have some tendency of breaking through the sky, eh?"

Cary Shepherd said sarcastically.

"Cary Shepherd, I am the mayor of Rexton City, and the police department is an agency under the Rexton City Government. I command you as the mayor to take these bastards away. If you can't handle the case today, I'll have someone else do it. And if you keep babbling in front of me, I assure you, Fabian Vincent will risk his life to remove you from the police chief position. If you don't believe me, we can try."

Fabian Vincent's words.

Immediately startled Cary Shepherd.

His face, previously calm and collected, suddenly stiffened.

He looked at Fabian Vincent like he was seeing a ghost, seemingly not recognizing him.

"Follow my orders, take all these people away with none left behind. From now, I, Fabian Vincent, will personally oversee this case. I'm making it clear today, if these people don't pay the price, I'll skin you all alive!"

Fabian Vincent glanced at Dirk Carter across.

He hesitated not a bit.

Issued the command.

The police looked at Cary Shepherd, not knowing what to do.

Cary Shepherd was somewhat rueful.

Babbled, "Why are you all looking at me? Anyway, it's Mayor Vincent's command, execute it as you should."

Just as the police prepared to make arrests.

A voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Let's see who dares to move!"

The voice was full of vigor.

Immediately attracted everyone's attention.

They looked towards the voice.

They saw a handsome man in his thirties, walking leisurely with his hands behind his back.

"Beau, Beau, you're here! Save us, save us…"

Seeing the man.

The hopeless Irene became emotionally stirred.

Fabian Vincent and Cary Shepherd both twitched.

Feeling unprecedented pressure all around.

The young man before their eyes.

Was the leader of The Maplewood Gang.

The son of Provincial Political and Legal Affairs Commission Secretary, Boston Wright, Fiorenzo Wright.

Of course, his current identity was Beau Grant, an obscure businessman.

Fiorenzo Wright, as if nobody was around.

Calmly walked into the courtyard.

First stopped beside Fabian Vincent and said, "Mayor Vincent, long time no see."

Fabian Vincent swallowed.

Clearly, he was quite afraid of Fiorenzo Wright.

Then.

Fiorenzo Wright's gaze fell on Dirk Carter.

He walked a few steps forward.

Came directly to Dirk Carter.

"You're Dirk Carter, the newly appointed City Government Secretary of Rexton City?"

"I am Dirk Carter."

Dirk Carter said.

Fiorenzo Wright smiled slightly.

Reached out and actually patted Dirk Carter's face.

Arlo Yarbrough wanted to act.

Was stopped by Dirk Carter.

"What? I patted you twice, is your subordinate dissatisfied?"

Fiorenzo Wright naturally noticed Arlo Yarbrough's move, glanced at him, and asked Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter smiled and said, "I admire Mr. Wright's courage quite a bit; having the guts to show up under these circumstances, truly fearless."

"Mr. Wright? Secretary General Carter must be mistaken. I'm Beau Grant, besides, I'm a legal citizen, why wouldn't I dare to face people? Does Secretary General Carter dare to arrest me casually?"

Fiorenzo Wright asked confidently.

"Impressive, truly impressive, I see that Mr. Wright's identity has been thoroughly cleaned, leaving no trace at all. So, you're not afraid of anything, right?"

Dirk Carter asked.

"Hahahaha..."

Fiorenzo Wright laughed aloud.

Mid-laughter.

Suddenly stopped.

Turned and swept his gaze over everyone present.

Said: "These people are my friends. I don't care if you're a mayor or a secretary general, today none of these people will be taken away. This is what I, Beau Grant, say, and if you don't believe it, you can try and see if anyone dares to issue an arrest command."

Arrogant.

Really too arrogant.

An ordinary person actually dared to say such words to the mayor.

Fiorenzo Wright had confidence.

He looked at Cary Shepherd.

Said, "Secretary Shepherd, should your people retreat?"

Cary Shepherd hesitated for a moment.

Immediately said, "Everyone, withdraw!"

The command Fabian Vincent just issued was still echoing in their ears.

But as soon as Fiorenzo Wright spoke, Cary Shepherd actually had them withdraw.

And among all the people present, no one dared to step forward to stop.

Including Fabian Vincent, who stood unmoving.

Watching as the police gradually withdrew.

Fiorenzo Wright looked at Fabian Vincent.

Said: "Mayor Vincent, I heard your daughter was harmed, and I'm also very sorry about that. Rest assured, those who violated your daughter, I'll make them pay, and I will also offer you some compensation that will absolutely satisfy you. If you agree, I promise The Maplewood Gang can still coexist peacefully with you. If not, sorry, we'll be completely at odds, what do you think?"

Fabian Vincent pondered thoughtfully with a complex gaze for a long time.

Said: "Mr. Beau, uh… Today's incident might just be a misunderstanding, why don't I just leave for now."

Fabian Vincent compromised.

What he stirred up today.

Was precisely for this purpose.

Now he had achieved it.

Came in aggressively, left sheepishly.

In the blink of an eye.

Fabian Vincent and his people also disappeared in the courtyard.

The affair was uproarious.

But ended in such an awkward manner.

Couldn't help but feel somewhat rueful.

"Secretary General Carter, now it seems only you're left. So, how should we resolve this matter?"

Fiorenzo Wright asked lightly.
