A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 764 764

"He works at the county credit union."

"Address."

Dirk Carter said.

Britt Ford was stunned and asked, "Huh?"

"I said Evan Perry's address, give it to me quickly!"

Britt Ford then responded and gave Dirk Carter an address.

Dirk Carter quickly dialed a number, this call was to The Leopard Cat.

In such an urgent situation, only The Leopard Cat could resolve the issue.

After making the call, he sighed deeply.

Dirk Carter said, "Alright, it's safe for now."

Britt Ford asked somewhat skeptically, "I just heard you called a woman. Can a woman handle those ruthless people? Especially Brett Summers' subordinates, they're all heartless characters."

Dirk Carter chuckled.

He said, "Anyone who talks about ruthlessness in front of her is just showing off their skills."

Even though Dirk Carter appeared confident.

Britt Ford remained somewhat doubtful.

Dirk Carter didn't care what she thought and asked, "You just said the situations in Ford Village and Newfield Village are real. Are these so-called businesses run by Jabez Shaw?"

"The real mastermind is Brett Summers."

Britt Ford said.

Dirk Carter was taken aback.

He said, "The Zenith Group is vast, second only to Mao's liquor in market value. Can someone like him still be interested in such small businesses?"

Melody Holloway interjected, "It's not just those businesses, the gambling, drugs, and prostitution in Helios County are well-developed. These black markets are under Brett Summers' control. He'll do any business that brings quick money. The Zenith Group, frankly, is the largest criminal force in our Helios County."

Seeing Dirk Carter still puzzled.

Britt Ford explained, "The Zenith Group seems very formidable to outsiders, but they spend a lot on advertising every year, and the current Sky Dome Wine is not the same as before. Market feedback isn't good, so the Zenith Group is just a façade. That's Brett Summers' appearance, but the essence is those black markets Melody mentioned."

Dirk Carter nodded slightly.

He seemed to understand.

He pondered and said, "Iris Baldwin told me, Brett Summers virtually controls Helios County like a one-man show. What does that mean?"

Britt Ford said, "It's no exaggeration. Every appointment of leadership in Helios County has to be approved by Brett Summers. If he doesn't nod, even those appointed from higher up won't last long and would resign themselves. So, Brett Summers is The Photosynthesis King. Even Jabez Shaw and Darien Griffin were promoted by him and follow his orders unwaveringly."

"And you? You became Deputy Secretary of The County Committee with Brett Summers' approval, right?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Britt Ford initially didn't want to respond.

But eventually nodded.

She said, "Brett Summers has a son named Garrison Summers, around thirty years old, he's the vice president of The Zenith Group. I'm one of his mistresses."

Upon hearing this.

Melody Holloway promptly said, "My sister did this to get closer to Brett Summers. She's not the kind of person who trades her body for benefits."

No wonder when they first met Britt Ford in Newfield Village.

Auxiliary officer Achilles Carter said this woman has someone backing her.

The person turns out to be Brett Summers' son, huh?

"You've been with... this Garrison Summers for many years, right?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Britt Ford took a deep breath.

She said, "Yes, it started when I was in the dance troupe, but over the years, he gradually lost interest in me, otherwise I wouldn't have resorted to this."

Dirk Carter nodded.

He sighed and said, "This can't be rushed. Even if we want to overthrow Jabez Shaw and the others, it must be step by step. Haste makes waste."

Upon hearing this.

Melody Holloway excitedly asked, "Secretary General Carter, are you agreeing to help us?"

Dirk Carter spread his hands.

He said, "I'm not helping you, I'm helping myself. You all have dragged me into this already, what else can I do? I can't just stand by and watch Jabez Shaw shit and fart on my head, can I?"

This statement.

Made the two women feel guilty.

Britt Ford mustered courage.

Took a deep breath.

She said, "Secretary General Carter, I apologize for the earlier things. Revenge is the biggest wish of us three sisters. If you truly can help us, we have nothing to offer; among the three of us, whichever you fancy, we'll offer our bodies."

Melody Holloway also nodded emphatically.

She said firmly, "Daddy, we're eternally grateful. Even if you want us three to serve you together, we're... we're all willing."

"You too?"

Dirk Carter looked at Britt Ford and asked.

Britt Ford pursed her lips.

Paused, then nodded and said, "Melody is right. If you want us three to serve you, we're willing."

"Can I ask if you are really Nine-Curves Corridor, and Melody, are you truly Seven-Aperture Exquisite?"

Dirk Carter asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this.

Melody Holloway stood up.

She reached to take off her clothes.

She said, "Secretary General Carter, if you don't believe, I can accompany you to bed right now. We three mean what we say."

Upon seeing this.

Britt Ford also stood up.

She reached to unbutton her clothes.

She said, "You've seen my body anyway. You can have it whenever you want."

Such a scene indeed startled Dirk Carter.

He quickly extended both hands to restrain the two women's hands.

He said, "Stop it. I'm just joking with you. Are you only allowed to play with me, but I'm not allowed to joke around with you? Anyways, the past is gone. But I just said, it's not hard to find out about Iris Baldwin and your matters. Maybe in a few days, Jabez Shaw and the others will have leads, if you want to protect yourselves, you might have to sacrifice something."

"How to sacrifice?"

Britt Ford asked.

Dirk Carter looked at the two of them and said, "Next, we need to act out a play, letting everyone know you two are my women."

"How to cooperate?"

Melody Holloway asked.

Dirk Carter leaned his head between the two.

Whispered a few words.

Both women's faces turned rosy.

They exchanged a glance and nodded again emphatically.

"Secretary General Carter, what are your plans next?"

Britt Ford asked.

Dirk Carter walked to the office window.

He gazed into the distance towards Helios City.

Said, "Let's start with the Iris Baldwin case..."

Britt Ford sighed heavily.

She said slowly, "Secretary General Carter, I'm truly sorry, for bothering you, this time I'm sincere."

Dirk Carter turned his head, smiled slightly, and said, "Helping you, I'm sincere too, because like you, I also have a troublesome godfather..."

Perhaps it triggered long-forgotten memories.

Dirk Carter felt somewhat emotional.

He shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this, introduce me to the specific situation of the so-called black markets in Helios County..."
