"Executive Carter, do you know... do you know by what standards we should proceed?"
Beha North moved closer and asked in a very low voice.
"Are you the police or am I the police?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Beha North had no choice but to nod.
After speaking, he waved his hand.
Arturo Golding and Ira Henderson were handcuffed.
A few minutes ago they were still being cocky.
Now they knew regret, and were wailing like ghosts.
Watching as both were escorted into the police car.
Dirk Carter beckoned to Fitzroy.
Fitzroy nervously ran up and asked, "Executive Carter, is there anything else?"
"Let ask you, last night, a manager at Lodestar Factory was arrested, have you heard about this?"
Fitzroy looked troubled.
Dirk Carter glared.
Fitzroy dared not play dumb anymore and quickly said, "Yes, yes, his na is Ambrose Garrison, he's the deputy manager of Lodestar Factory."
"And the reason for the arrest?"
Dirk Carter continued to ask.
Fitzroy swallowed and said, "Because he's been obstructing Lodestar Factory's wastewater discharge..."
The matter needs to be explained starting from half a month ago.
At that ti, Elliot Douglas led a team to investigate Lodestar Factory, and during the investigation, Ambrose Garrison suddenly appeared to report to Elliot Douglas that Lodestar Factory's sewage treatnt facilities were damaged and not repaired, but instead, pipelines were built to discharge sewage into Clear-sky Lake.
Elliot Douglas said nothing at the ti.
He just assigned Lincoln Griffin to handle the matter.
After the investigation.
Lincoln Griffin found Ambrose Garrison and expressed the Municipal Governnt's stance to him.
The rhetoric was the sa as just now.
Moreover, Lincoln Griffin also warned Ambrose Garrison to not ddle, otherwise, the Municipal Governnt would definitely not let him off.
No one expected Ambrose Garrison to be so obstinate.
Not only did he not compromise, but he also took photos specifically to expose Clear-sky Lake's pollution online.
Thankfully, Lincoln Griffin reacted quickly, discovered it in ti, and had the publicity departnt delete those photos, preventing a big impact.
After this incident, Lincoln Griffin, along with the environntal protection bureau, kept looking for ways to catch him. Last night, Ambrose Garrison checked into a hotel, discovered by Lincoln Griffin, and was then arrested.
From this, we can see.
Last night, Lincoln Griffin's so-called attack on law enforcent personnel was entirely fabricated.
Ambrose Garrison was the one truly aware of the situation.
"Boss Archer, I'll leave this to you."
Knowing the details, Dirk Carter said to Caleb Ford.
Caleb Ford nodded and said, "You're also severely affected now, even though Elliot Douglas has lost Fabian Vincent's backing, he's still the mayor. Be mindful of the approach when dealing with this."
"I know, don't worry."
Dirk Carter nodded.
Then, he turned to look at Yara Hughes.
He said, "Chairwoman Hughes, I'm sorry you had to witness this embarrassnt. Without any surprises, this matter is about to escalate, and I need to rush back to handle it urgently."
"You handle your affairs, I'll return to the cruise ship."
Yara Hughes said with a smile.
Dirk Carter nodded slightly, reached out to shake hands with Yara Hughes, and said, "I'll accept your proposal that you ntioned on the cruise ship before."
This made Yara Hughes' face light up with joy.
She said solemnly, "Executive Carter, it's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
Saying this, Dirk Carter turned and got into one of Caleb Ford's cars, speeding away.
Today is Saturday.
The Municipal Committee Compound, coincidentally, Elliot Douglas was on duty.
When Dirk Carter arrived, Lincoln Griffin was already elaborating on the incident in detail, exaggerating things in front of Elliot Douglas.
Elliot Douglas listened and beca enraged.
He slamd the table and shouted, "Unruly, simply unruly, damn you Dirk Carter, this is clearly going against ."
Lincoln Griffin saw Elliot Douglas angry.
He was pleased.
He said, "Mayor Douglas, you're right, Dirk Carter is doing it on purpose. You see, Dirk Carter has only been here in Koryn City for a short ti, Robert Shepherd was removed, Josias Rayburn too, and two mayors have been replaced. He's been steadily rising, from organizational minister to disciplinary secretary, and now executive vice mayor, can't you see his little sche?"
"You an, he's aiming for the mayor's position?"
Elliot Douglas paused and asked.
Lincoln Griffin lowered his voice, saying, "In the past, Koryn was compared to several districts and counties in Rexton City, and economically it wasn't bad, but now it's different. We're compared to provincially managed county-level cities, among the 21 provincial-managed county-level cities, our economic output isn't outstanding. Apex Group is currently our only presentable enterprise, and it has halted operations, clearly aiming to make our GDP fall to the bottom in the second quarter."
After speaking, he swallowed and continued, "Who to bla for stagnant GDP? Mayor Douglas, can't you see?"
Inciting flas really works.
He was just slamming the table a mont ago.
Now anger is burning in Elliot Douglas' eyes.
At this mont.
There was a knock on the office door.
Elliot Douglas' secretary walked in and respectfully said, "Leader, Executive Carter is here."
"Who?"
Elliot Douglas paused.
The secretary repeated and said, "Dirk Carter, Executive Carter, he said he has sothing to discuss with you."
"Tell him I have guests and no ti to see him."
Elliot Douglas said to the secretary.
The secretary nodded and turned to leave.
After a while, the secretary returned.
Continued to say, "Leader, Executive Carter said it's okay if you're busy, he just asks to hand Ambrose Garrison over to him."
"Who is Ambrose Garrison?"
Elliot Douglas paused.
Lincoln Griffin quickly explained to Elliot Douglas.
Elliot Douglas was relieved.
Said to the secretary, "Tell him that Ambrose Garrison can't be released for now, if he asks why, say you don't know, and also, close the door, don't let anyone else in to disturb ."
"Understood!"
The secretary left again.
Outside the corridor of the mayor's office.
Dirk Carter faced a closed door.
This response told Dirk Carter that Elliot Douglas and his people were deliberately refusing to release him, their aim was to embarrass Dirk Carter.
Inside the mayor's office.
Elliot Douglas and Lincoln Griffin stood by the window, watching Dirk Carter leave downstairs in disappointnt.
Both felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
After all, it's quite exhilarating to make Dirk Carter suffer.
"Is that Ambrose Garrison safe now?"
Elliot Douglas asked.
Lincoln Griffin smiled slyly and said, "He's detained at the environntal bureau, does Dirk Carter really dare to barge in and snatch him?"
"What if he pressures Elton Hall?"
Elliot Douglas asked.
Lincoln Griffin chuckled and said, "Mayor Douglas, rest assured, Director Elton Hall and I share the sa attitude, you're the mayor, no matter how tough Dirk Carter is, it's ultimately you who calls the shots in the Koryn City Governnt."
