"Call Manuel Brooks back, do whatever needs to be done!"

For Dirk Carter, they can mess with him, but not with his woman.

Even though last night, he didn't "swallow" the girl in one gulp.

Because of matters that caused injury to another woman, he absolutely couldn't tolerate it.

Just as Elbert Rivers pulled out his phone to return the call, Dirk Carter suddenly shivered and shouted, "Wait a moment."

"What's up, boss?"

Elbert Rivers had been with Dirk Carter for some time and naturally understood his temper.

Such sudden halts were generally rare.

"Go to Upper Lake Police Precinct, get the girl out, then find a few people to accompany her in packing her things, and send her to school unharmed."

"Then... what about Kane Keating?"

Elbert Rivers asked.

Dirk Carter frowned.

He said, "Have Manuel Brooks release him!"

"Release him?"

Elbert Rivers was stunned.

To know, Dirk Carter, this maverick in the officialdom, had never feared anyone.

Could it be the son of the State Committee's deputy secretary has really cowed him?

Though he had ten questions in his heart.

Elbert Rivers still complied.

Around ten in the morning.

In Alexis Lewis's office.

She was leisurely reading the newspaper at the moment.

Suddenly, the phone beside her rang.

Seeing the number, it was actually Doyle Paxton calling.

She grabbed the phone and said with a smile, "What's up, Brother Doyle? Are you calling to claim credit?"

On the phone, Doyle Paxton's voice was somewhat anxious, saying, "Bad news, Kane Keating has been released."

Alexis Lewis was taken aback.

She stood up suddenly, "What did you say? Kane Keating has been released? Could it be that this matter hasn't gone to Dirk Carter?"

"I heard Manuel Brooks called Dirk Carter. He just sent someone over to pick up that girl."

"Then Kane Keating? Who released him?"

Alexis Lewis asked.

"My people inquired; it was Dirk Carter who gave the order."

Doyle Paxton said.

Alexis Lewis froze.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

After a pause, Doyle Paxton on the phone said, "Could it be a mistake? This Dirk Carter isn't like we thought; he's fundamentally a wimp, someone like Kane Keating, he simply cannot provoke."

At this moment, Alexis Lewis was also starting to have doubts.

However, she still had a backup plan.

Pausing, she said, "You go find Dirk Carter and give him that surveillance footage."

"Is it necessary?"

"Yes, go! If Dirk Carter remains indifferent this time, I'll force him to comply. I don't believe a man can disregard his reputation."

"Alright, I'm on my way now."

After Doyle Paxton agreed, the call ended.

Alexis Lewis stood there, looking out the window for a long while.

Then.

She picked up her cellphone again and found a number.

The call quickly connected.

A male voice came through: "Minister Lewis, what brings you to call me?"

"Aren't you the busy president? Are you free? Want to meet up?"

Alexis Lewis asked.

The person replied, "Minister Lewis invites, even if I'm busy I must make time, just give me the time and I'll set the place."

"Right now."

"Sure, half an hour later, Left Bank Café on Sunrise Road."

"Great, I'm leaving now, see you there..."

Around eleven in the morning.

Dirk Carter's office.

Elbert Rivers had just received a call, the girl was already accompanied by his arranged personnel, on a high-speed train to Prospera City.

This news.

Also let Dirk Carter's anxious heart settle down.

After finishing the work report.

Just as Elbert Rivers was about to turn and leave.

Dirk Carter looked at his watch and said, "Go to the building's entrance, if someone comes looking for me, bring them up."

"There's no appointment today."

Elbert Rivers asked in confusion.

Dirk Carter smiled.

Said, "I have an inexplicable feeling, someone will come looking for me."

Elbert Rivers scratched his head.

While not understanding what Dirk Carter meant by this.

He still went downstairs.

About eleven-fifteen in the morning.

The office door opened, Elbert Rivers walked in excitedly, saying, "Boss, as you anticipated, someone came looking for you, I've let him wait in the reception room."

"Who is it?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Elbert Rivers was stunned, puzzled, "Boss, you know someone's here, yet you don't know who it is?"

Dirk Carter smiled slightly, said, "I'm not certain, but it's likely to be our Silverwood City's famous Brother Doyle, right?"

"Wow, boss, you're amazing, it's really Doyle Paxton, he said he has important matters to discuss with you."

Elbert Rivers marveled.

Dirk Carter nodded.

Said, "Serve him tea, I'll be there shortly."

"Alright."

After Elbert Rivers left.

Dirk Carter deliberately delayed for about ten more minutes.

Then leisurely walked into the reception room of the discipline inspection commission.

Upon entering.

Originally seated on the sofa, Doyle Paxton hurriedly stood up.

He came forward respectfully, saying, "Secretary General Carter, Secretary General Carter, I apologize for the intrusion today."

"You are..."

Dirk Carter pretended to be puzzled.

In fact, he already knew who the person in front of him was.

"Oh oh oh, forgetful of me, Secretary General Carter, let me introduce myself, I'm Doyle Paxton, the person in charge of Apex Entertainment in Silverwood City."

"Oh, it's Manager Doyle, apologies, apologies."

Dirk Carter politely shook hands with him.

Then invited him to sit opposite him.

Crossing his legs.

Said, "Manager Doyle, I'm here at the discipline inspection commission, not often dealing with people from the business sector, what brings you here to find me?"

Doyle Paxton immediately adopted an apologetic expression.

Said, "Secretary General Carter, I... I came to apologize."

"Apologize? To what do I owe this?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Doyle Paxton hesitated intentionally, putting on a look of having made a painful decision, and to be fair, his acting was quite good.

"Secretary General Carter, I made a huge mistake, regardless of how you wish to handle me, I, Doyle Paxton, accept the punishment, here's the situation: around two days ago, the deputy secretary, Kane Keating, came to see me..."

In the following time.

Doyle Paxton recounted the matter of Kane Keating asking him to teach Dirk Carter a lesson, in full detail.

Of course, in the entire story.

Doyle Paxton portrayed himself as a victim who succumbed to the power pressure of Kane Keating and committed illegal acts.

After narrating the pursuit of Dirk Carter yesterday.

He also went into detail about Kane Keating's attempt to harm the girl last night.

"Secretary General Carter, at that time, I tried to dissuade Deputy Secretary Keating, but he just wouldn't listen. After returning, I really was more and more frightened the more I thought about it. Weighing it over, I decided today to come find Secretary General Carter to confess voluntarily. In any case, whether it's punishment or penalty, I, Doyle Paxton, accept it."

After saying these words.

He took a USB drive out of his pocket and offered it to Dirk Carter.
