Chapter 5502
Only the driver, Harvey York, and Kairi Patel were in a minibus on the way back.
Kairi sighed, seeing Harvey’s calm expression.
“I’m afraid Kurtis Lee wouldn’t just let you go scot-free this time
“Keegan Lloyd’s a prominent figure of Gangnam’s martial arts world.
“It’s said that he’s considered a hero there.
“He’s a righteous man who has helped many.
“It’d be quite troubling if a person like that were to stand for Kurtis.”
“He wouldn’t dare.”
Kairi froze before she stopped talking.
She believed Harvey did not understand his dire situation and that she would stand with him no matter the case.
On the next day, early in the morning.
Harvey and Kairi received word that they would attend the meeting on time.
When the two arrived at the meeting room, dozens of people were seated properly.
In addition to Chanse Foster and the higher-ups of different departments, a few deputies also attended the meeting.
An elderly man in a robe resembling Blaine John sat in the middle seat.
It was none other than the government’s first-in-command, Damon John, himself!
The head of the John family, the leader of the top ten families!
A prominent figure like him would make the entire city tremble with every step he made!
That said, Damon had always been extremely faithful toward geomancy arts.
His geomancy expert told him not to show up at the government building until he was appointed as the first-in- command. That was why he had remained hidden the entire time.
That said, he showed up anyway, completely ignoring the warning he had gotten.
He was making a statement for coming here, and at that very moment, he displayed unspeakable hostility.
Kairi Patel frowned before she bowed in front of Damon.
“It’s been a while, Uncle Damon.”
Despite not calling Damon by his titles, the two did not seem that close to each other.
Damon lightly nodded back to greet Kairi.
“Are all of the influential people in the government present now?” Harvey asked, looking at the red seat card in front of everyone.
“Are you guys planning to invite me for a meal or something?”
Damon and the others did not reply to Harvey at all.
Instead, they were all squinting at Harvey, wondering what would happen to him after breaking the government’s rules.
Even before Harvey could say anything else, Chanse suddenly stood up with an arrogant look as if he had someone backing him up.
“Mr. Damon, everyone!
“This is the person I’d like to complain about, Consultant York!
“Because of him, the relocation agreement made between me and Kurtis was undermined!
“I did the best I could, yet Consultant York said that I didn’t and he would remove me from my position!
“For the sake of the government’s reputation and the benefits of the land department’s two thousand workers, I decided to make a wager with him!”
