“Alexander Kane?” The operator was alarmed to have heard the name.

Half a year ago, the mayor specifically ordered that if someone called Alexander Kane called the number, she had to transfer the

call to him immediately.

This was the mayor's absolute order. It was of utmost importance.

“I-Vll transfer you right away, Mister Kane!” The frazzled operator quickly

transferred Alexander’s call to the mayor’s office.

At that moment, Lewis Christian, the mayor of Ol‘ Mare was seated in his luxurious. chair. He was over the moon when he saw

the breaking news.

The underworld forces of Ol‘ Mare have all decided to turn over a new leaf. They were going legit!

“Wow. His Lordship sure is amazing!” Lewis let out a long exhale as he saw the news.

He felt amazing.

Ever since he had come to Ol' Mare, he had only once called Steve Gonzalez, the general of Ol’ Mare’s military. He never once

went to see Alexander.

It was not that he did not want to; he just did not dare.

With his lowly status, if the Lord of War did not call to see him, he had no right to

visit him.

This time, Alexander rounded up all the forces of the underworld in Ol‘ Mare and cleaned up what was once a messy situation.

This helped Lewis, as the mayor of OI‘ Mare, a great deal. The credit would go to him, boosting him in his career!

Ring!

The citizen’s hotline suddenly rang, interrupting Lewis‘ thoughts.

“The hotline?” Lewis looked at the caller ID and furrowed his brow. Every mayor had

a hotline, but according to the usual procedure, the operator would usually take the call and transfer it to the secretaries. The

mayor never needed to be bothered with it.

“Who'd be calling me straight? Could it be...”

A foreboding feeling possessed Lewis as a thought occurred to him.

Alexander Kane. No other so-called normal citizen could reach him personally.

Back then, when the Temple of War docked at Ol’ Mare to replenish supplies, Maxine personally instructed him to go along with

Alexander. He was not allowed to reveal

his identity.

“M-Mister Kane?”

Lewis got more frightened the more the thought about it. He immediately picked up the phone. “This is Lewis Christian speaking.

You... Oh, no, no. If you have anything

to tell me, you can do so right away!”

On the other end of the line in Amber’s office, Alexander said with a smile, “Hello,

Mister Christian. I’d just like to tell you that the Regulatory division of the Food and

Drug Administration has just visited the company...”

Alexander roughly recounted the incident before gently saying, “The livelihood of

eight thousand employees is at stake. I hope you'll look into it, Mister Christian.

Does our company need rectification?”

Alexander hung up before Lewis could respond.

Lewis looked aghast when he heard the disconnected call beeps.

“Bastards!” He gritted his teeth and threw the phone on his desk. He barked, “Get the

car ready. We're heading to New Chesire Group!”

The Regulatory Division of the Food and Drug Administration? Did this involve

Ethan Burke?

How dare he drag him down! Offending Alexander just meant death!

That man would hear it from him!

“Wow. You sure could put on an act!” Hugo, with his legs still crossed, mockingly remarked, “You're just a retired veteran,

Alexander Kane. You think you could call the mayor? You could just say that you were calling the ruler of Wyverna instead!

“It'd be pointless even if you called the mayor! Mister Burke has already done all the necessary procedures. If he wanted to bring

down New Chesire Group, there would be no stopping him!”

The saddened Amber whimpered, “I told you not to be too reckless, Alex. You just

wouldn't listen! Look at what’s happening right now. Did you hear what Hugo said?

It's a done deal! So what if you called the mayor? New Chesire Group won't be able to

escape this trouble!”

“Don’t worry.” Alexander smiled. He held Amber’s hand and said gently, “We'll just

wait right here and see. I’d very much like to see how powerful Mister Burke is.”
