“Alright, I’ll make sure Irons cooperates with you.”

  Warren was a bit tempted, although he didn’t pce all his hopes on Lucian. The prospects Lucian described were indeed appealing.

  However, they didn’t seem immediately useful for him. Umbrel was currently at its peak, but it wasn’t without rivals. It wouldn’t hurt to make some backup pns.

  “You will be gd for today’s decision. I’ll go back and prepare now. To our future president, cheers.” Lucian’s smile was incredibly sinister as he picked up his gss and clinked it with Warren’s.

  This comment struck a chord with Warren. His previously gloomy face also showed a hint of a smile. “Haha, very well, to our future tycoon, cheers!”

  The matter seemed to go smoothly, which was also thanks to the fact that both parties were not good people—both were selfish and self-serving individuals who perhaps found a common ground due to their simir natures.

  Once the deal was made, Lucian returned to the bar and took out a bag of money. The bar wasn’t open yet, and only Cindy, the waitress, was there. She looked puzzled when she saw Lucian.

  Lucian patted Cindy’s round butts. “Take this money for your father’s treatment. I know there’s a drug that’s very effective for heart disease. I’ll find a way to get it.”

  Cindy frowned, enduring the discomfort of being groped. “Thank you, boss.”

  “Cindy, can you do me a favor?” Lucian suddenly asked, pouring himself a drink.

  “What is it?” Cindy was a bit puzzled, not knowing why he said that.

  “Be my woman and manage my finances. I can guarantee your safety. I admit I’m not a good man, but you are innocent. I don’t want you to get hurt, and I like you a lot. I promise I will never abandon you and will always treat you well.”

  Lucian stared intently at the blonde beauty in front of him. Her full breasts pushed against her bar uniform, her knee-length skirt was lifted slightly by her round buttocks, and her curvy figure was hot and enticing. What a blonde bombshell, making him hard!

  Cindy was surprised. She never expected Lucian to be so direct. “I, I don’t know.”

  “Cindy, I’ve always liked you. You know that. I’ve been protecting you. No one else can y a finger on you. Give me a chance, okay?”

  Lucian took the opportunity to embrace the blonde beauty. Such a gentle and virtuous woman was hard to find. Raccoon City was full of seductive and promiscuous women, but a beautiful, well-built, and still-virgin woman like Cindy was a rare find. He needed to seize the opportunity now, lest someone else take her.

  Lucian had always treated Cindy well, which made her unsure of what to do.

  Looking at the flustered Cindy, Lucian took the chance to hold the blonde beauty and kissed her on the lips.

  “Mmm!”

  Cindy’s eyes widened in surprise, anger, and embarrassment.

  However, she didn’t resist. She needed money, and Lucian had been good to her. She couldn’t turn down such a confession.

  Just like she couldn’t stand by and watch her father suffer from a serious illness without doing anything, even if it meant paying a price.

  “Cindy, I’ll always treat you well. I love you!”

  Lucian now seemed like a seasoned pyer in the game of love. He could easily say the word "love" without any burden or shame.

  Cindy was a bit helpless. “I, I need to think about it. Please, stop, boss.”

  “Okay, Cindy. I’ll go with you to see your father another day. I know you need money, and I need you to help me make money. I need someone I can trust. Come to my apartment tonight. Take this money and use it for the medical expenses for now.”

  Lucian smiled and pinched Cindy’s round buttocks. “Go on, money is not a problem. As your boyfriend, it’s my duty to take good care of you.”

  Cindy bit her lip and made a silent decision. Lucian’s sweet talk made her accept the reality easily.

  She wasn’t unaware of the implications, but even if she knew, she couldn’t change anything. She had no choice but to accept.

  “Okay, thank you.”

  “Haha, take good care of the bar for me. I need your help.”

  Lucian kissed Cindy’s small mouth again, and this time his tongue went straight in. Cindy didn’t resist much and opened her teeth, allowing his tongue to invade and taste her saliva.

  Satisfied, Lucian left the bar and went to the police station to find Chief Irons.

  “Irons, here’s your share. Later, I’m going to have people sweep through the gangs in the eastern district. Once that’s done, I’ll give you even more money. Did Mayor Warren call you?”

  Lucian’s tone was calm. He lit a cigarette and his eyes showed a fierce glint.

  The Chief of Police in Raccoon City, Irons, was not a good man himself. He took a lot of bribes and was a loyal dog for Umbrel.

  Irons picked up the bag and weighed it. “He called me. I knew you would make a move. There are informants in the police station from the gangs. I’ll send them out.”

  “Then just kill them. Being an informant means death. Just make up a reason to cover it up.” Lucian’s eyes showed a hint of murder.

  “You handle it yourself. Call me when it’s done.” Irons clearly didn’t want to talk much with Lucian. He just wanted to count his money so he could buy some rare treasures ter.

  After making the arrangements, Lucian left the police station and gathered his men to sweep through the bars in the eastern district to take over the gang businesses there.

  At the same time, the police also mobilized forces to arrest the gang leaders in the eastern district. Without their leaders, the remaining gang members were no threat and were quickly dealt with.

  Bars, saunas—these were all good businesses. Some pces even needed to pay a little protection fee.

  No need to run a business themselves; just collect the protection fees and ensure the safety of these businesses.

  At the Rose Bar, a few white and bck men sat together.

  Lucian sat at the head of the table, handing out a stack of money to each person. “Thanks for your hard work today. Rest well. Soon, all of Raccoon City will be ours. This is just the beginning. Our influence can spread throughout the entire United States.”

  “Thank you, boss!” The men had been following Lucian for many years. They might not be exceptionally capable, but they were loyal.

  “When I’m not here, Cindy’s words are my words. And if anyone dares to challenge Cindy, kill them directly. I guarantee you’ll be fine. Don’t worry.”

  Lucian’s tone was dismissive, making his men shudder.

  After all, today’s operation clearly showed a colboration between the police and the gangsters. If they couldn’t tell that Lucian had a strong background from such an obvious situation, they should just die and stop embarrassing themselves.
