Shadow Empire

Chapter 210 The Final Peace [Reward 333+1]
Fleming, who was sitting in the car, did not show any ferocious or terrifying expression. The Kodak family had long since left behind the lowest level of gangster family.

Fleming received a very orthodox elite education since childhood, and he was even a college graduate.

If it weren't for his last name which made things a little awkward for him, he might have been able to attend a league school and get a ticket to the federal upper class.

From the current "official" perspective, he is the deputy manager of "Jingang Baida Gaming Company" and is responsible for some of the company's daily work.

These jobs are all legal, including this company. They pay taxes normally, hire employees in accordance with local regulations, and have nothing to do with criminals or crimes.

Over the past decade or two, criminal organizations have grown rapidly and have mastered the correct ways to deal with the federal government.

When the law was not yet sound enough, these organizations, families, and gangs had many ways to avoid legal risks.

You know clearly that he is a member of a criminal organization, and even an important figure, but you just can't get him to confess.

Whether there is really no way or just pretending to be no way is another matter.

"Have you found out who threw the bottle?" He lit a cigarette. His nose was badly hit, but the doctor said that the bridge of his nose was not broken.

Although Eric's fist was heavy, it was not heavy. However, it made him very uncomfortable. The burning pain continued and it might take several days.

The swollen nasal cavity caused his voice to change somewhat. He sounded like a patient with a cold, and he was using the back nasal sound throughout.

The situation got out of control today entirely because of that wine bottle. If the wine bottle hadn't flown out and smashed Eric's head, he wouldn't have lost control enough to take action.

If no action had been taken, the situation would not have evolved into this, so the core of this conflict was not him or Eric, but the bottle and the person who threw the bottle.

The people around him shook their heads and said, "We haven't found out, but it must have been thrown from our side. I looked at the bottle, it's Gold Label whiskey."

Fleming frowned. Currently, there was only one family in the entire Jingang City that was selling Gold Label Whiskey, and that was the Pasletto family.

But he didn't believe that this was done by the Pasreto family. While the five major families were opposed to each other, they were more likely to be allies with each other.

If they can't stick together, then Senators Williams, Wade and others will devour them bit by bit.

The greed of these old local political forces has never been a little bit, if annexing the five major families would not break their teeth, they might have started to take action against the five major families long ago.

So Fleming's first thought at this time was that this might have been done by these congressmen's people.

"What was Arthur doing before the bottle came flying?"

The person next to him shook his head. "Arthur was at the back. I didn't notice what he was doing." He seemed to realize something. "You mean, maybe Arthur did it?"

He thought it was funny and laughed, "I don't think it's him. We all know he's a coward..."

But he kept laughing and then stopped laughing, because Fleming didn't laugh, he just looked at him calmly.

He didn't like Fleming's calm expression and calm eyes, which made him feel very depressed. Finally, he laughed dryly twice and closed his mouth.

"Talk to my father about this and let him make his own judgment. I need you to do one thing. Find out where Eric's money comes from."

He still couldn't believe that the mayor would give Eric so much money and support him to use the money on a woman who was obviously not so easy to get.

The man next to him nodded and said, "I'll figure it out."

Fleming leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temple. "Let's go back first. It's been a terrible day..."

He has plenty of time to regain the face he has lost, and until the dust settles, no one will really think that he has lost face.

On the other side, Eric returned to the manor after getting the stitches and met his uncle.

"I heard that you were seriously injured?" The mayor was sitting behind the table, looking at Eric. His slightly concerned eyes made Eric feel a strong fatherly love.

His nose felt sore and his eyes were slightly red. "It's not too serious. I had to get more than a dozen stitches." But soon, he lowered his head. "Did I do something wrong?"

The mayor was thinking and was interrupted by this sentence. He did not react immediately, "What did I do wrong?"

Eric continued to admit his mistake, "I shouldn't have fought with Fleming and the others."

The mayor laughed after hearing this. He even stood up, walked around the table to Eric, and hugged him. "No, on the contrary, you did a great job."

"In the past, we had to make appropriate concessions when facing these locals, but now, as long as they dare to provoke us, we will give them the strongest counterattack!"

After discussing many things in the evening, the Mayor and Director Dell had reached a consensus on the action plan.

Two years may not seem like a long time, but you can actually accomplish a lot.

At least, there is absolutely no problem in opening up a space for "outsiders" in Jingang City.

And this space will continue to be passed down with the successive inauguration of foreign mayors and officials. This living space will even be more helpful to him politically than the New Port Pier!

Precisely because time is limited, their counterattack must be fast and fierce in order to convey a message to those arrogant locals.

Even though this is Jingang City, it’s not like the locals like them can control everything!
Eric seemed a little excited after being praised. This was one of the very few times that the mayor praised him. He couldn't remember the last time he was praised. It made him feel great and even his headache was relieved a lot.

Seeing Eric's stupid look, the mayor showed a relieved expression, "Have a good rest. I have sent someone to cause trouble for them."

"But there is a high probability that they are no longer in the police station."

"If they try to attack you, I allow you to fight back as long as they don't lose their lives."

"Also, bring more people with you during this period..."

He patted Eric's shoulder to encourage him, "Well, go and have some rest. Your mother must be worried about you."

Logically speaking, as a rumored illegitimate child, a negative character in his version of the story who came into being after his mother was taken away by force, he should feel ashamed and angry when his mother is mentioned.

But he had no such emotion at all, and even wanted the mayor uncle to visit his mother occasionally.

However, he did not say these words in the end. He knew that no matter whether the story was true or false, the mayor could not and would not be able to visit his mother.

"I see..." He nodded, "You should also go to bed early. I'm going back now."

"Go ahead..."

The phone suddenly rang. The mayor didn't say anything else. He walked directly to the table and answered the phone.

Eric took one last look, left quickly, and closed the door carefully.

"Charlie said he had a car accident on the road and can't come for the time being..." The secretary said this was something the mayor did not expect, but it was also expected.

There is no way that old dog Chief Charlie would really come to our door. He drove his car into a roadside public telephone booth and was said to have suffered some injuries.

This not only solved the problem of the mayor asking him to go over and make things difficult for him, but also sent a signal to the locals.

He would rather hurt himself than meet the mayor. He is still the loyal hound of the Bay Area!

The mayor thought it was a shame for the old dog not to go into politics.

He said, "I understand," and just as he hung up, the phone rang again, "Anything else?"

"Mr. Mayor, I'm Bandy."

Bandy is the name of the current head of the Koda family, Fleming's father, an old man who looks very kind and peaceful and is keen on doing good deeds.

Some people ridiculed him, saying that he killed far more people than he helped!

You know, he is a famous philanthropist in the Federation, and many people have been helped by him.

Behind this sentence lies a bloody fact, that is, this seemingly kind old man is actually more terrifying than anyone imagined!
Although the person who said this told the truth, he drowned in Angel Lake due to an accident not long afterward.

Witnesses said he tried to swim across Angel Lake, while some people who knew him said he could not swim.

"I didn't expect it to be you, Mr. Bandy, is there anything I can do for you?"

The mayor still maintained his humble attitude, but his tone was far less gentle than the words he said.

Mr. Bandy could also sense the subtle changes. He smiled and said, "I heard from Fleming about what happened that night. I am extremely sorry for this."

"He told me that someone was trying to stir up conflict between the boys, a disgusting little tactic I'm sure will not affect our friendship."

Mr. Bandy still has no idea what is going on. The mayor, who has never had much presence in upper society, has suddenly become tough. He has to figure out what is going on before he can come up with a better solution.

However, he also had some vague speculations that this might be related to Director Dell's continuous setbacks.

He had an unreal sense of uneasiness about the future, as if Jingang City, which had been stable for decades, had begun to experience some strange fluctuations again.

The mayor answered very quickly, "Of course I will not let a conflict between children affect our relationship. This is just a matter between children."

"You can rest assured that nothing will be different..."
