A Bumpy Road to Power

At this moment, he was feeling very upset.

He had already received the news that Nancy Sharp and Braulio Golding had been rescued.

He was still pondering over who exactly took those two people away.

Could it be Alexander Camden?

Impossible!

If it were him, the county would have already sent word by now.

But if it wasn't him, then who else could it be?

"Leader."

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind.

Brent Lowell quickly turned around and saw Ironhead standing behind him.

"Any news?"

Brent Lowell stood up from the water and asked.

Ironhead nodded and said, "I've found the rental car company. The name on the rental registration is Thea Sykes, a young punk from Greshire County. Since she was 18, she has been dealt with for a series of crimes such as fraud, theft, and honey traps. In the county town of Greshire, she also has a group of youngsters following her around, but she's just a small-time player."

Upon hearing this,

Brent Lowell's brow furrowed.

He asked, "Are you sure these people are the ones who rescued those two women?"

Ironhead nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, it's them. I've already sent people to the county town, and there should be news soon."

"Good, well done. This guy has a dirty background. If things can't be settled, send Connery Griffin to take people and catch them. Damn it, they've dared to provoke me…"

"Okay."

Ironhead nodded and then turned to leave.

Knowing that it wasn't the doing of the higher-up departments,

Brent Lowell wasn't afraid anymore.

His mood instantly brightened.

Without saying a word,

he removed his shorts and sat naked on the steps of the pool.

He waved to the playful crowd.

Two women then swam over to him.

He spread his legs.

One of the women floated in the water, raised her head, and began to let her tongue wander between his legs.

The other one,

stood behind him, using her two ample bosoms to "rub" against his back.

This double sensation of physical and psychological pleasure,

made him involuntarily close his eyes and moan aloud…

At seven o'clock the next morning,

Dirk Carter got up.

When he reached the living room on the first floor, he saw Mona with her feet resting on the coffee table, comfortably watching TV on the sofa.

"You're up early."

Dirk Carter said.

Mona glanced at him, immediately sat up straight, and tidied up her messy pajamas, saying, "I have a habit of waking up early."

Dirk Carter waved at her and said, "Go wake up the others, I have two things to say."

"Why should I go?"

Mona said unwillingly.

Dirk Carter glared at her and said, "You're the one who woke up early, and besides, you're the only girl. What if what happened last night happens again?"

"Weren't you the one benefitting?"

She mumbled a sentence.

Seeing Dirk Carter's irritated face, she stuck out her tongue,

and quickly ran away.

About five or six minutes later,

The other three were also woken up with sleepy eyes.

Nancy Sharp and Mona were alright.

Braulio Golding had an annoyed look, muttering, "Haven't had proper rest for several days, and you won't even let people sleep in. You're worse than Barrett Tatum."

Dirk Carter paid her no mind.

He said to everyone, "I've woken you up for two things. Firstly, from now on, this villa is your entire activity range. Later, I'll have my secretary send some essentials over. Whether eating, drinking water, or sunbathing, you mustn't leave this door."

"How is this different from illegal detainment?"

Braulio Golding said displeased.

Dirk Carter said earnestly, "I'm doing this for your own good, especially for the three of you. Brent Lowell will definitely do everything to find you. If you go out and get recognized, it will be difficult to rescue you again."

"You weren't the one who rescued us, talking like it's true."

Braulio Golding said another sarcastic comment.

Mona couldn't take it anymore.

She yelled at Braulio Golding, "Can you shut up?"

Braulio Golding wanted to retort.

Seeing Mona's angry eyes, she held back.

"The second thing, I thought about it carefully last night, wanting to take action against Brent Lowell first requires cooperation from the leadership in Greshire County. We don't have that condition. Since we don't have that condition, we'll have to create it. I want to get Joachim Young into the position of County Chief of Greshire, so I need one of you to cooperate with me in seducing Reginald Goodman."

As soon as Dirk Carter finished speaking,

The four of them looked at each other, somewhat unclear of Dirk Carter's intention.

Dirk Carter knew that political matters couldn't be explained to them easily.

He paused, then continued, "In short, I need one person to offer themselves in seduction."

"I'll do it!"

Mona was the first to raise her hand.

Braulio Golding was anxious.

She pressed her hand down and scolded, "What does it have to do with you? Do you even know what seduction means?"

Mona just wanted to explain.

Dirk Carter waved his hand and said, "You're not suitable. You don't have that kind of charm."

"Are you thinking of me?"

Mona blinked her eyes and asked.

Before Dirk Carter could speak, Nancy Sharp said, "I should do it. I'm good at seduction. Even if something happens, it doesn't matter. After all, my body is already tainted."

This statement,

still sounded a bit sad.

Dirk Carter stared at Nancy Sharp for a while.

He said, "Indeed, you are the most suitable. It will be you. Later today, I'll have someone come to pick you up. The person picking you up will explain the specifics in the car."

"Okay."

Nancy Sharp nodded.

After saying this.

Dirk Carter let out a sigh of relief.

He said to everyone, "Alright, those who want to rest can go upstairs and continue resting. I need to go to work. Remember what I said, don't leave this house."

...

At nine-thirty in the morning.

In Dirk Carter's office.

When he detailed his plan to Elbert Rivers and Athena Meyer,

the two were mouths agape, somewhat in disbelief.

Athena Meyer said, "Aren't you going to directly overthrow Reginald Goodman?"

Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "Reginald Goodman can't be moved. It's Hadley Thorne's plan to kill two birds with one stone. If I really act, Colter Hall will definitely retaliate, and with my current ability, I can't compete with him."

"Kill two birds with one stone? What do you mean?"

Athena Meyer asked.

Dirk Carter sighed and said, "Firstly, Hadley Thorne intentionally told me about Reginald Goodman. He's implying for me to make a move. If I don't act, Hadley Thorne won't help me and may even undermine me."

"Didn't you say that once you dealt with Reginald Goodman, Hadley Thorne would back you?"

Athena Meyer asked.

Dirk Carter said somewhat self-mockingly, "I was a bit too optimistic. In reality, Hadley Thorne would rather suppress me using Colter Hall. If I move against Reginald Goodman, he can both gain political benefit by putting Joachim Young in power and leave me humiliated. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"
