Chapter 124 Attack

In a private lounge of an upscale bar, an opulent display of premium liquor adorned the table, each bottle carrying a price tag over fifty thousand. Tucked beneath one of the red wine bottles, the edge of a gift card

peeked out, showing a value of at least a hundred thousand dollars.

estimated to be at least a million dollars.

The director's beady eyes narrowed into slits as he fixated on the enticing figures of the women, his hands wandering without restraint.

As he sipped the wine handed to him by one of the women, he reassured Harlan, "You are too kind. This

matter won't be difficult to handle..."

Harlan felt a surge of relief. He had finally secured the director's cooperation. Now, his next challenge was figuring out how to win over the people at the prosecutor's office.
