A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 406: Three Faction Bigwigs


Dirk Carter was completely indifferent to Benson Caldwell's words.

He seemed as if he hadn't even heard and continued to shout, "Two!"

Dirk Carter's words were confirmed.

These wolves in sheep's clothing didn't care about his life or death at all, even though he had given them so much money and women. At the most critical moment, all they thought of was themselves!

"Ethan Young, you bastard, I gave you tens of millions, and this is how you treat me? And you, Penn Dalton, in my Flower House, to satisfy your perverted hobbies, I find you virgins from all over the country. Did you fucking forget? Curtis Walsh, you managed to become a border officer thanks to who? The most ungrateful is you, Easton Perry. You can't even get it up and I had to find you women to play with every day. You dogs, you all are dogs..."

Facing life and death, he couldn't care about his dignity anymore.

Benson Caldwell cursed like a burst of machine gun fire.

The faces of the leaders present all turned gloomy.

The feeling of having their embarrassing secrets exposed in front of so many people was indeed uncomfortable.

No more time could be wasted. The longer this stalemate lasted, who knew what else Benson Caldwell would reveal?

Penn Dalton immediately patted Ethan Young on the shoulder.

Ethan Young understood.

He shouted loudly, "One!"

The last number was called.

One hand was raised high, and the other brought the walkie-talkie to his mouth, decisively saying, "Sniper, prepare..."

Before he could finish the sentence.

Dorothy stood up first, walked in front of Dirk Carter, and blocked him with her body.

"Dorothy, what are you doing? Get behind me!"

Seeing this, Dirk Carter loudly berated her.

Dorothy turned around with a slight smile and said, "I'm your woman, isn't it my duty to take a bullet for you?"

"I should count as your woman too, so I must also take a bullet for you."

As soon as Dorothy finished speaking.

Maeve Winters stretched lazily and stood out, guarding the other side of Dirk Carter and blocking the sniper's line of sight.

The other women did the same, one by one standing out and surrounding Dirk Carter completely.

In this way, if the sniper wanted to shoot Dirk Carter, there was no angle.

"Report One, report One, no sniper sight, no sniper sight..."

Inside the walkie-talkie, the sniper called out.

"Leader, should we arrest them?"

Ethan Young asked Penn Dalton.

Penn Dalton glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "Arrest who? If you arrest them, how can you act?"

After saying that.

He sharply said, "Ethan Young, no matter who it is, as long as they resist, follow procedures and shoot them."

Ethan Young instantly understood Penn Dalton's intention.

In fact, they could arrest people now.

The reason Penn Dalton hadn't given that order was because he wanted Dirk Carter to hold Benson Caldwell hostage, then be killed according to procedures. If they arrested them, they'd leave survivors, and it would be much harder to kill them later.

He raised the walkie-talkie and shouted, "No matter who it is, they can be shot."

"Yes!"

Inside the walkie-talkie, the sniper responded.

The women present also heard this.

They were naturally afraid.

However, they stood their ground without moving.

At this time, the sniper had completed the aiming, and once again requested, "One One, ready, request to fire!"

Ethan Young took a deep breath.

He raised the walkie-talkie.

Just as he was about to give the order to fire.

At this moment.

A voice shouted full of strength, "Let me see who dares to shoot!?"

Everyone turned towards that voice.

They saw the police team split into two.

Three people slowly walked over.

Two elderly men and a middle-aged man.

The three walked over side by side under everyone's gaze.

When Penn Dalton saw them, his face changed instantly.

Not only him, but everyone who recognized these three people turned pale.

The three acted as if no one else was there, without a trace of fear on their faces.

They paused when they reached Penn Dalton, then walked to where Dirk Carter and the others were. The one in the middle smiled and said to Dirk Carter, "Young man, you've stirred up quite a mess this time."

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and asked, "Mr. Quill, why are you here?"

"If I didn't come, my granddaughter would be in danger because of you. I entrusted her to you to guide, and here she is, trapped in danger."

The speaker was none other than Yale Quill.

Hearing this.

Dirk Carter scratched his head a bit sheepishly.

Luna walked out, explaining, "Grandpa, he didn't trick me into coming. I wanted to come myself."

"It hasn't been long, and you're already defending him. Looks like your guidance from Dirk Carter is quite effective."

Yale Quill said with a hearty laugh.

"Mr. Nolan, you came too?"

Dirk Carter looked to the left at the elderly man and asked.

Gage Nolan lightly said, "I had to come. My granddaughter and her leader are both here. If I didn't come, her future career would be finished. That girl is just like her father, knowingly walking into danger?"

"Grandpa, I'm not like dad, I take after you."

Elaine Nolan came up, playing with Mr. Nolan's arm and acting coquettishly.

There was also a middle-aged man.

Dirk Carter recognized him too.

It was none other than Dorothy's father, Barron Zechariah.

He paused and called out, "Hello, Uncle Zechariah."

Barron Zechariah's face was grim, he only nodded.

Then he glanced at Dorothy, saying nothing.

The three of them simultaneously turned to look at Penn Dalton's side.

Yale Quill asked, "Secretary Penn Dalton, you see, we three also stand on Dirk Carter's side. So, do you want to shoot us all too?"

"Mr. Quill, Mr. Nolan, and Mr. Zechariah, there's a... misunderstanding, a misunderstanding here. I didn't know your relatives were involved. I... I'll explain to you all later..."

These three people.

Yale Quill is a military giant.

Elaine Nolan is a political heavyweight.

Barron Zechariah is a business tycoon.

Each of them carries significant weight.

Penn Dalton never expected that these three would stand up for Dirk Carter.

The situation suddenly became much more complicated.

"We don't want to hear your explanation. Either you withdraw your people, and we'll take them, and then discuss how to resolve this, or you'll harden your heart and kill us old guys too. That way, you'll be safe."

After Yale Quill finished speaking.

Penn Dalton's face turned even darker.

There was absolutely no way to let Dirk Carter and Benson Caldwell go.

If these two fell into Yale Quill's hands, with his means, he could deliver them to the higher-ups. Moreover, Benson Caldwell, trying to save his life, would say anything, and then their group would be doomed.

Just as he was at a loss.

A voice sounded: "Since the three of you have admitted to being accomplices, then we'll handle this according to the law and regulations. Two choices: hand over Benson Caldwell, and the others will be arrested, or if not, the second choice, all will be shot according to the law."

With this voice.

Penn Dalton's face lit up with a smile.

Under the eyes of all, a middle-aged man in an administrative jacket slowly walked out.

As this person appeared, those on Penn Dalton's side had their tense expressions eased.

This man was the highest-ranking of all the white gloves Benson Caldwell had bribed.

If Yale Quill and the others hadn't come.

He would probably have remained hidden in the team, never planning to show himself.
