A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 700 700

"I wonder how Mr. Wu intends to resolve this?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Previously, there were outsiders present.

Fiorenzo Wright was still denying the fact that he was Fiorenzo Wright.

But now, he didn't seem to mind Dirk Carter addressing him as Mr. Wu.

He looked down at the young man on the ground, who was now a bloody mess, and said, "Whatever happens to my man should happen to yours. This woman was driving the car just now, right? So, as long as she ends up the same way, we'll call it even."

"Anything else?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Fiorenzo Wright pointed at the five beaten young men.

He said, "For each of these attackers, let them break a finger, and I can overlook this and leave it at that."

"Anything else?"

Dirk Carter continued to ask.

Fiorenzo Wright finally looked at the naked Irene.

He said, "Irene is one of my subordinates, and you stripped her and humiliated her in public. This also must be accounted for. How about this, you've got another woman with you, right? Let her strip, and let one of my boys have her for the night, then it's all settled."

"That's all?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Fiorenzo Wright finally looked at Dirk Carter.

He said, "Of course there's more. In my Maplewood Gang's territory, it's not a place anyone can come and go as they please. Secretary General Carter, you may have to suffer a little. So, how about it? A broken leg or arm, your choice, and then rest up in the hospital for a few days."

"These conditions do sound fair."

Dirk Carter said.

Fiorenzo Wright laughed heartily.

He said, "Regardless, I have to give Secretary General Carter some face."

Dirk Carter nodded slightly.

He said, "But I don't plan to accept a single condition."

"No problem, I guessed as much that Secretary General Carter wouldn't accept, but we can negotiate the terms."

After finishing speaking,

Fiorenzo Wright took out his phone.

He dialed a number.

The call connected very quickly.

Fiorenzo Wright stared at Dirk Carter and spoke into the phone, "Come out."

After speaking,

he hung up the phone.

At the entrance of the small courtyard, numerous headlights lit up.

Aiming towards the direction of the courtyard.

At the gates,

countless men in matching black shirts, armed with machetes, filed into the courtyard.

Dirk Carter had also brought quite a few people.

But compared to Fiorenzo Wright's men, they were somewhat dwarfed in comparison.

At this moment, a young man walked up to Fiorenzo Wright.

Handed him a handgun.

Fiorenzo Wright picked up the gun and played with it.

He said, "Secretary General Carter, in the white world, you're no match for me, and in the black world, even less so. What makes you think you can refuse my proposal? Do you really think you can mobilize more resources in Rexton City, in Janton State, than I can?"

"No, in that aspect, I admit I can't compare."

Dirk Carter shook his head and said.

Fiorenzo Wright burst into laughter.

He said, "Has no one ever told you that you can't mess with the Maplewood Gang?"

"Many have, they all said the Maplewood Gang is invincible, and advised me against it."

"Then why bother? Do you have a death wish?"

Fiorenzo Wright suddenly flew into a rage.

Aiming the gun in his hand at Dirk Carter's forehead, he asked.

He thought Dirk Carter would surely be afraid.

However, he wasn't.

His face remained calm as still waters.

He paused, then asked, "Mr. Wu, have you ever considered why I barged into your Maplewood Gang today, do you really think I'm foolish enough not to know my own strength?"

"What are you trying to say?"

Fiorenzo Wright asked.

Dirk Carter calmly reached out to push the gun pointed at his forehead away.

He said, "The Maplewood Gang has been around for so many years, disrupting the politics of Rexton City, doing whatever it pleases. It should have been eradicated long ago. The only reason it still exists is because no one could touch you."

"Isn't it a bit too late to realize now?"

Fiorenzo Wright asked.

Dirk Carter smiled.

He said, "It's not too late, not at all. I've been busy in this courtyard for so long, just waiting for Mr. Wu to show up. Now that you're here, naturally I can close the net."

"Hahaha... Close the net? With what? With the people you brought? Since you call me Mr. Wu, you should know that in Riverton State, not a single cop dares to arrest me. They never did, and they never will."

Fiorenzo Wright said domineeringly.

Dirk Carter nodded.

He said, "I believe that. In Riverton State, no cop dares to arrest you, but you seem to have forgotten one thing: combatting organized crime requires evidence, but counterterrorism just needs a list. Isn't your Maplewood Gang a terrorist organization?"

"Hahaha..."

Another bout of laughter.

Fiorenzo Wright asked, "A terrorist organization? What a big hat to put on my head, Dirk Carter, isn't your imagination a bit too wild?"

Dirk Carter quickly waved his hand.

He said, "I wouldn't dare fabricate something so big. An organization that tried to blow up Goldridge County's flood protection embankment during a flood, if not a terrorist organization, what is it?"

As soon as he finished this sentence,

Fiorenzo Wright shivered.

It was evident that upon hearing this, he was indeed somewhat worried.

"Hahaha... Dirk Carter, so what? Who can help you? You still forget, this is Riverton State..."

"Yes, this is Riverton State, also under the rule of law, not a place for Fiorenzo Wright to do as he pleases."

Dirk Carter suddenly turned grim, speaking each word to Fiorenzo Wright.

Woo, woo, woo...

Suddenly police sirens wailed outside.

A line of armed soldiers appeared on the courtyard walls.

Wearing armed police special operations uniforms.

Their rifles aimed at Fiorenzo Wright and his men, shouted in unison, "Drop your weapons, do not move!"

Besides this,

the gates were the same.

Troop after troop of soldiers rushed in.

Quickly and efficiently, they subdued the small gang brought by Fiorenzo Wright.

When Fiorenzo Wright realized the danger,

as soon as he tried to raise the gun in his hand,

several black gun barrels were already aimed at his head.

"Do not move, drop your weapon, or I'll shoot!"

In such a scene,

who would dare make a rash move?

Fiorenzo Wright hurriedly dropped his gun to the ground, raised his hands, and shouted in panic, "I'm not moving, don't shoot, I'm not moving..."

At this moment,

a school-level officer rushed in from the entrance.

He came directly to Dirk Carter, saluted him,

and said, "Bertram Scott, Captain of the Riverton State Armed Police Anti-Terror Special Operations Unit, reporting in on orders from my superior."

"Captain Scott, how should we handle these people?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Bertram Scott turned to look,

and said, "To prevent anyone from escaping and causing damage, all these people will be taken back to the special operations unit for handling, and once the investigation is clear, they'll be handed over to the police."

Dirk Carter nodded,

went up to Bertram Scott's ear,

and whispered a few words to him.

Bertram Scott paused.

He looked again at Fiorenzo Wright squatting on the ground, and said, "Don't worry, Secretary General Carter, I will report this incident truthfully to the superior."
