Edgar paused, raised his eyes and took a slight glance at Bill who was clearly surprised and confused.
After meeting Bill's eyes, Edgar once again stared at the documents in his hands and said,"Even if he
does know that, he can pretend to know nothing…"
Puzzled from what he heard, Bill took a frown and placed the lollipop into his mouth as he stepped
back. He said,"Is that it? Will he just allow her to stir up the situation? !"
Suddenly, the smile at the corner of Edgar's mouth became invisible. He placed the documents on the
table, like nothing was wrong. Edgar's gentle face could not hide the power he held as he pondered
with his back leaning against the chair, one arm at rest and the other hand supporting his chin.
Bill had worked with Edgar since their time at the army as they had carried out Superior-subordinate
Communication. After leaving the army, Edgar had managed to make Bill work for him. Bill, who knew
Edgar for the longest time, knew that the expression on Edgar's face covered his anger he intentionally
suppressed.
Anybody who was in that situation would definitely be filled with anger. The mayor had worked hard
and invested many years in it. Despite aiming to enter and host the State Parliament, he did not like to
be manipulated by anybody. But with what was currently happening, for some reason, it seemed that
he had to compromise with Major General Zeng. To compromise, it does not include turning a complete
blind eye on their dirty tricks.
Bill, while sucking the lollipop in his mouth, was ceaselessly thinking. During Bill's earlier visit to his
doctor, the doctor had suggested him often eat candies to relief the symptoms of his Hypoglycemia.
From then on, he had developed the habit of eating candies.
"Sir, why not let Jenifer deal with those groups of people… so that we can get away?" Bill finally asked
the question he couldn't understand.
Since everybody wanted to get into the muddy water, why didn't they live in the silt without getting
stained?
Edgar took a glance at Bill and thought, 'This guy is quick-witted and sensitive enough, but often fails to
look at the bigger picture.'
"In your opinion, how did Jenifer get in to her current position, through Major General Zeng's protection
or anything else?"
Bill did not know how to answer Edgar. People who gained no knowledge about what had happened
might think she got her current position because of Major General Zeng's position in the army and the
Zeng Family's relationship to the local forces. However, Bill did know what had happened. He knew
that Jenifer got into her position all by herself. Moreover, people who did not know her well might even
know nothing about her background.
Despite having an enchanting and attractive appearance, Jennifer worked hard, perhaps even harder
than men. She was able to finish every training program designed for men and even managed to
perform better than most men in the training ground!
He often thought, 'If females get admitted to the Wolf SWAT Team and Jenifer and the mayor become
rivals, what will happen?'
"Not only Jenifer, but also several other forces could not be underestimated…" Edgar's words sounded
a bit distant. He was not sure who those people were. But what he definitely knew was one of those
forces was sent by Mr. Long!
It was odd how Mr. Long stepped into this matter. It neither intersected with him nor had any conflicts
with his interest. In A City, Mr. Shen got easily shaken by his sight, giving him the freedom to act
recklessly and care for nobody there. Then his stepping on this matter… could only be caused by one
reason…
that is Molly!
After having this idea sink in, Edgar's gentle eyes suddenly turned dark and was filled with anger and
hatred. A suffocating feeling filled his every being.
With all the evidences on hand, everything was clear about what had happened that time. Still, Edgar
couldn't believe that Steven had caused everything because… it had been too risky, though it had been
an opportunity to maximize his benefits… However, Steven had admitted to everything.
Edgar had a headache. Steven was the key all along. But since he himself had admitted to it, it became
more difficult to gain more findings.
"Do you know about anything those people talked with Steven?" Edgar suddenly asked.
Bill shook his head, shrugged and said,"It is impossible to place my hands on it. It seems like someone
is keeping a close eye on them, making them very careful with their words. Besides, Steven and
Sharon are very strange. They are not willing to tell us anything."
Edgar was not surprised to hear that. He knew Steven very well. Even though it seemed that Steven
had given up himself for so many years, it didn't mean he would lose the toughness he once had had.
"Let's wait and see!" He paused, and said,"The invitation for the bidding event for the construction of
the overpass in the new urban area is going to be launched soon. Besides, to whom the wasteland
goes to?"
"The Dragon Empire Group!" Bill calmly added,"No company is comparable to the Dragon Empire
Group with regards to either financial resources or influence… But strangely enough, this time, Dragon
Empire Group's bid was the lowest base price!"
After hearing that, Edgar smiled and said faintly,"The Dragon Empire Group is currently investing only
on small projects in A City, such as catering, supermarkets and shopping malls. Because of the current
environment in A City, they don't want to invest too much here. The wasteland isn't a necessity for
them. However, they are sure that the city council will be in favor to them, which is the reason for their
arrogance."
Bill curled his lips and said discontentedly,"Thanks to the blessings of his forefathers, Eric can be so
arrogant at his early twenties, who cared for nobody else but himself. If the Dragon Empire Group
would be taken over by him, can he make any achievements?"
"No, you are absolutely wrong!" Edgar denied firmly without second thoughts about Bill's idea, and then
he added,"The Dragon Empire Group has developed very well because of how Eric's father's
generation led the business. Don't you think that the Dragon Empire Group is currently in an
unprecedented state which creates the illusion that Eric's generation relies only to what they were
bestowed from the prior generation?"
"Doesn't he?" Bill asked while curling his lips.
Edgar burst into laughter, as if mocking Bill. Bill has never felt so ashamed in front of Edgar. Edgar then
said in a low voice,"If you see Eric as a playboy, you will be beaten to death by him without even
knowing why!"
