In a word.

Chapter 111 Shocking News (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!!)

The atmosphere at the dinner table was harmonious and joyful.

Around 8:15 p.m., the ladies left first, then went together to the private beach behind the beach to stroll around, enjoy the sea breeze, and chat about topics that only ladies might talk about.

As for the men?

Naturally, after a satisfying meal, one should have a cigarette.

"Luck, would you like a cigar?" After Luke sat down, the mayor sitting next to him handed him a wooden cigar box and invited him to smoke.

"Thank you."

Luke looked at the cigar box the mayor handed him, said thank you, and then smiled and said, "I don't really have a fondness for cigars."

The mayor didn't care.

Don't like the taste of cigars?

"No, I've always liked lungs!"

If you don't inhale the smoke, can it still be called smoking?

Of course.

Cigars can indeed be passed through the lungs, but in this situation, performing a cigar-passing demonstration won't earn you respect; instead, it will make you seem like a barbarian.

and so!

Luke chose not to inhale.

If the mayor had invited him to smoke a cigar just moments after he came in, Luke would have had one even if he didn't like it.

but now?

There's no need for that.

He wasn't attending the party as Director Louis's underling; he was an invited guest, just like the mayor and the others.

Appropriate humility and politeness can make others perceive you as a cultured person.

However, excessive politeness can backfire and embolden others to take advantage of you.

This is especially true when dealing with federal people.

This is also an experience that Lu Ke summarized after experiencing so many reincarnation worlds with European and American backgrounds in the Main God Space.

The Federation constantly touts itself as a free and open nation.

but……

Freedom has another, more straightforward interpretation.

That is!

The weak eat the strong.

This is the ultimate explanation of what is called freedom.

In this free country, the law of the jungle prevails: the stronger you are, the more you get. But if you are weak, then sorry, in this free country, you will only become someone else's prey.

Luke himself is a better example.

Look at what a mess his predecessor was in before he was born.

Let's see what his status is now after his arrival.

After spending half a year in the same boat, the predecessor ended up sleeping in a garbage dump.

And what about Luke?

He completely cleaned up his identity and even managed to sit and chat with the newly appointed Director Panning, who had just arrived from Sacramento that day, as well as the mayor, Los Angeles council members, and even California state legislators.

What's the reason?

because of him!

Strong enough.

That's ruthless enough.

The mayor listened to Luke's earnest explanation, laughed, gave Luke a thumbs up, and then said to Chief Penning, who was sitting there talking to Police Chief George, "Penning, you don't feel pressured having a deputy chief who wants to smoke cigars so much, do you?"

Sitting there, with short, coarse, slightly curly hair but a sturdy build and somewhat dark skin, Pan Ning smiled at the teasing mayor after hearing this and said, "Mayor, what I want is a ruthless deputy chief of operations. Only by being more ruthless than those criminals will they not jump out and disrupt our free lives, right?"

The mayor shook his head and laughed, "I almost forgot, you're quite the ruthless one too."

Pan Ning also burst into laughter.

after awhile.

Having just gone to the restroom, Director Louis emerged and stood on the second-floor railing, looking down at the group chatting and laughing on the first floor: "Lucy."

Lu Ke looked up.

"Come up here," Chief Louis said.

Luke nodded, spoke to State Representative Dodge who was confirming the golf schedule for next Saturday with him, then got up and went straight up the S-shaped staircase to the second floor. He then followed Director Louis into the study.

After entering the study, Director Louis pointed to a leather chair in front of the desk, indicating that Luke should sit down first. He then walked to the bookshelf and took out a bottle of whiskey and two glasses.

"Give."

"Thank you."

Luke took the whiskey that Director Louis had poured for him and said thank you.

Director Louis then sat down in the leather chair behind his desk, and with a smile, held his wine glass in both hands, looking at Luke.

"How does it feel?"

"very good."

"How to say."

"Director Panning, Director George, the mayor, city councilors and Dodge State Representative, they are all talented people, and they speak very well. I really like it here."

"Haha."

Director Louis listened to Luke's comments and couldn't help but nod: "Not bad, I'm glad you like it. I was thinking you might not like these kinds of social occasions."

Luke smiled and said, "How could that be? I really like the atmosphere here; it feels like coming home."

Director Louis smiled and said, "That's perfect. The Dodge invited you to play golf next week, and they'll be there too. Anyway, I've introduced you to all these people, but how well you get to know them is up to you."

There was a pause.

Director Louis took a sip of his whiskey and looked at Luke: "However, I have faith in you."

Lu Ke smiled and said, "Thank you for your trust, Director."

Director Louis smiled and waved his hand.

next second.

Director Louis pondered for a moment, then changed the subject, looking at Luke and saying meaningfully, "I just received news this morning that the deputy director from Washington will be coming to take up his post no later than the 5th of next month."

The implication of this statement is quite clear.

This deputy director came because of Bill Kings' case.

I told you about two weeks ago that you needed to clean up the mess.

result……

Everyone else is here, why haven't you made a move yet?

how.

Do you think I'm exaggerating?

Luke mentally translated Director Louis's words, tapping his whiskey glass lightly with his fingers.

Director Louis's words were practically an open secret.

The deputy director parachuted in from Washington was there specifically for the Bill Kings case.

reason……

unknown.

Luke thought for a moment, then looked at Director Louis and played his cards straight.

He was too lazy to rack his brains to say those roundabout things.

"Chief, as far as I know, Bill Kings's file doesn't seem to show any background in Washington."

"you sure?"

Upon hearing this, Director Louis looked at Luke with a half-smile: "Files can be forged, can't they?"

Lu Ke raised an eyebrow.

Director Louis thought for a moment and then said directly, "Bill Kings has an uncle named Lorma Dis, who is currently one of the president's aides, but do you know what his relationship is to Bill Kings?"

Lu Ke frowned.

Director Louis chuckled and said, "He should be Bill Kings' father, his real father."

A look of shock appeared on Lu Ke's face.

uncle……

dad……

Thick and greasy, shit!

Luke inwardly exclaimed, "Is it really this messy?"
