Shadow Empire

Chapter 527 Barking [Too lazy to think about cultivating the mind ID.333+1]
The call between Charlie and Bandy didn't last too long. They both had important things to do and didn't have time to chat for so long.

Neither of them discussed the idea of ​​letting Bandy use those big shots, because they both knew that it was impossible.

If their opponent is the mayor or something like that, then they can call for help. After all, this is indeed not something they can handle.

Just like Congressman Williams, who brought in Senator Cleveland, all of the mayor's plans were shattered the moment the senator arrived.

But to deal with a "small character" like Lance, it would be fine if he didn't go to those big shots. Once he really goes to those big shots, then the big shots will have to consider whether they need to change to a new pair of gloves.

You can't even handle one fucking gangster, and you expect senators or state legislators to deal with those gangsters themselves?
This is somewhat... funny, right?
If your opponent is some big shot, a governor, or even the president, they might be interested, but the mafia...

Because Bandy knew this, he never mentioned the matter to his superiors, saying that it would not bring any positive impact or effect other than making him more embarrassed.

Only by killing Lance with their own methods can they prove the value of their existence.

Bandy hung up the phone and sat in a chair.

In just a few days, the conflict with Lance caused many casualties. According to preliminary statistics, at least thirty people died in the first round of shooting when they rushed into the bar, and another thirty or forty people were shot and wounded.

It can be said that the losses were not light, but their family business was large, so these casualties did not seem particularly heavy.

If it were a smaller force, it would have to consider how to protect itself.

Although he promised Charlie, he still had a headache about what to do.

He called Gao Li over and asked, "How many of us can mobilize now?"

Gao Li did a quick calculation in his mind, "Two hundred people?"

He tried to give a number, but it seemed that Bandy was not satisfied with the number. He could only explain, "We have to maintain the security of several casinos. You know, it is difficult for us to confirm whether he will attack our other casinos."

"Now the casinos are using double the security and double the gunmen."

"If you want to mobilize more people, then we can only reduce the security strength of the casino, but I don't recommend doing this, it's very dangerous."

Gao Li frowned and asked, "Why are you suddenly moving people around again?"

"Aren't Lance and the others already trapped?"

The Hazardous Materials Administration and the Police Department, if any one of them speaks up, Lance will be in big trouble!

In Gao Li's opinion, although they suffered heavy casualties in the conflicts a few days ago, all the efforts were worth it!
This punch would most likely knock Lance down!
Bendy's expression was not very good, which made him realize that things might not be as smooth as he thought.

"Hunter is dead."

"What?" Gao Li sat up straight after hearing the news, looking at least half a head taller. "Is the Hunter you mentioned the Hunter I imagined?"

Bandy nodded and said, "Yes, Chief of Police, Hunter, he died this morning."

"How did he die?" Gorrie still found it hard to believe. "Someone walked into the police station with a gun, said to him, 'Are you Hunter?' and then pulled the trigger?"

He didn't think anyone could really do this, so his tone was incredible and a little absurd.

Bandy told him the truth. After hearing the cause of Hunter's death, Gowrie didn't know how to express his inner emotions for a moment, and finally condensed into one sentence -

"What the fuck is this idiotic thing?"

Once Hunter died, the chance of winning would only be 50%. He also understood why Bandy was asking about the manpower that could be mobilized at this time.

"Charlie asked us to distract Lance first. After he has found a new director, we will deal with Lance together. This time, we will take direct action and not give them a chance to resist."

Gao Li nodded and said, "It should have been done a long time ago." He paused, "When do you need someone?"

"ASAP!"

It is not an easy task for a gang to mobilize personnel. If the number of people is small, it is easy. But if the number of people is large, many aspects need to be considered.

Running a gang is much harder than running a business!
The news of Hunter's death finally spread in the evening. After all, so many police officers rushed to the scene, and "Hunter's Jigsaw Puzzle" was still in progress. It was said that it had made several forensic interns cry.

Even the experienced forensic doctor of the city police station, who was used to seeing all kinds of corpses, couldn't help but leave for a while when he saw a large bucket of minced meat.

In the evening, Charlie called the people he thought were suitable to hold a private meeting to discuss the details of replacing the chief and cleaning up the police station. If the traitors in the police station were not cleared out, it would be difficult for them to achieve the greatest victory when dealing with Lance.

Even at this time, Charlie believed that the arrest of so many people from the Lance family was intentional, and the reason for doing so was to lure Hunter out and kill him!
Insidious and despicable Lance!
There were some results from the discussion. They circled out a list of nearly a hundred people, ranging from management to roadside patrol officers.

They are all distrusted by these people, and they are suspected to be "traitors" who may have contact with Lance.

Charlie took a quick look and found Nate on the list. As for how many people on the list were real traitors and how many were wrongly accused, he no longer cared.

As long as we can achieve stable rule, that is enough.

The next morning at 9:30, he arrived outside the city hall early and asked to visit the mayor's councillor.

As a Bay Area councilman, Charlie would have basically no problem meeting the mayor now, and the secretary welcomed him into the office with a smile.

The mayor looked at Charlie calmly, even though his hatred for this old man was even greater than that for those people in the Bay Area!

Those people in the Bay Area can be said to be his opponents. It is like an unfair yet fair boxing match. There is a group of people on his side and a group of people on the other side, and everyone is competing in the ring.

As long as there is a competition, there will be winners and losers. It doesn’t matter who wins or loses, you have to admit it.

But Charlie is not a human being, he is just a dog. When he swings his fist, he barks at himself, or whines and shows his teeth, or even bites himself. Although the harm is not strong, it is extremely insulting!
Keeping a calm expression is a sign of his good manners. If it were someone else, they might not even meet him.

"I heard... Hunter is dead?" the mayor spoke first, he knew what Charlie was going to say.

Charlie didn’t expect this news to be hidden from anyone, so he nodded and said, “Yes, that’s what I came here to say.”

The mayor reached out and took a sip of his coffee. "Who did this?"

Charlie almost blurted out the name "Lance", but so far they have no evidence pointing to Lance, let alone sending him to court. He could only shake his head with a gloomy face, "It's not clear yet, but I believe that we can find evidence and bring these people to justice!"

The mayor laughed twice, "I hope you can really do this..." He paused, "So what is the purpose of your visit this time?"

Getting down to business, Charlie placed several files he carried with him on the table. The secretary picked them up, opened them, and then handed them to the mayor.

The mayor put on his reading glasses and looked through the files for a while. They were all police officers' files.

"I am sorry that Chief Hunter has passed away in office, but the work and mission of the police force are very serious now, and we do not have time to slowly select a suitable successor."

"Mr. Mayor, you know me. I have served in the police force for nearly forty years, and I know everything about it."

"These people are very suitable successors. They are responsible and capable, and are all very good choices."

"You can choose a successor from among them to continue to serve you and the security of this city."

The mayor put the documents on the table and took off his reading glasses. "I understand. I will carefully screen them."

Charlie looked at the mayor, and the mayor looked at him, and the two looked at each other.

Charlie wanted to use this invisible pressure to force the mayor to make a choice immediately. The mayor's uncompromising but not so sharp eyes seemed to tell him that the mayor would definitely stick to his position.

He licked his lips. "The gentlemen in the Bay Area called me early in the morning. They are very worried about the police department losing its chief. They are worried about whether the police department can carry out its work normally. They are also worried about whether there will be criminals who will take advantage of this special situation to commit crimes everywhere."

The gentlemen in the Bay Area are like a card in Charlie's hand, and this card has already knocked the mayor down once.

The mayor's eyes flickered slightly. "I have something else to do in the morning. I will arrive at the police station this afternoon."

Charlie smiled more and stood up quickly. "That's the best. I won't disturb you at work. Goodbye, Mayor Show!"

He knew the mayor would not shake hands with him, so he didn't want to make things awkward. Instead, he took his hat and placed it on his chest and bowed slightly as a courtesy. Then he said, "You're welcome," opened the door, and left.

Looking at the slowly closing door and Charlie's disappearing back, the mayor's face was not covered with dark clouds as Charlie had guessed.

Instead, he smiled with an expectant expression!

Although he was knocked down in the ring, even if he was down, he was not a dog that could order him around!

He was looking forward to the collision between Charlie and Lance!
