Fiona agreed without hesitation, motivated by her desire to vent her own anger. Yet she was unaware that this would be the worst choice she ever made.

Stanley received a message on his way here instructing him to pick someone up. This individual was none other than Victor Lang, the soon–to–be–appointed municipal party secretary of Hirica.

Victor, full of youthful vigor and enthusiasm, was at an age marked by earnest ambition. Determined to aplish practical work for themon people, he specifically requested Stanley to apany him to observe the situation of the people in Hirica.

“Sorry to trouble you, Mr. Saunders,” Victor said politely.

“It’s no trouble; I happen to have business in that direction as well.” Stanley brought the electric cart to a stop. “Young people should spend more time at the grassroots level. We must emerge from among the people, and then return to them.”

Victor nodded gently. “Yes, you are right. After all, I’m just trying to do more for the people as well. If there is anything I haven’t done well, I hope you will kindly offer your guidance.” fnbac8 ???s ??????? ?s ?????? ?? FindN()vel/fnbac8

“I wouldn’t call it guidance, but I will be keeping an eye on you.” Stanley patted his shoulder, a gratified expression on his face. He thought,‘Indeed, the younger generation is to be reckoned with.

‘I introduced Victor to Olivia so that if I retire, he can look after her. This way, we old folks can feel at ease.’

However, before the two reached Olivia’s doorstep, they could already hear the sounds of amotioning from inside. Stanley rushed forward immediately, his eyes widening in disbelief at the scene before him.

“What are you doing?” Victor hurried over and witnessed an inconceivable scene.

Sean pinned Ansel impersonating a cop to the ground and beat him. Ansel was left with a bruised and swollen face, with several bite marks on his cheeks. Grace tried to intervene, but Nina stopped her.

“Oh my! You scared me to death.” Stanley quickly stepped forward to check on Olivia. “Are you all right?”

If Olivia were to be wronged, given her capabilitiesb, /bit would be no challenge for her to make this man suffer.

Stanley cycled all the way, his hands frozen and icy cold. He asked, “What exactly is the situation?”

“I’m fine.” Olivia poured a cup of coffee for Stanley to warm him up, then nced at Ansel, who was nearly bitten to death by Sean. “He insists he’s a police officer and wants to arrest me.

“So, Sean insisted on ying with him for a while, and I was unable to stop him.”

Victor thought, ‘Is this a joke? Ansel is on the verge of being beaten to death.

“Sean, stop ying ande eat.” Olivia lowered her gaze and added more fuel to the small stove. Sean finally climbed off him and brushed the dust from his clothes.

“This is intentional homicide. I’m going to call the police.” Ansel, beaten so that his face was bruised and swollen, spoke with a trembling voice. “None of you will get away.”

“Call the police?” Olivia pulled at the corner of her mouth, as if about to smile but not quite, and said, “Didn’t you say you were a police officer yourself?”

“You are assaulting a police officer.” Only then did Ansel realize what was happening. He stared at Olivia, his face burning.

If word got out, he would beughed at to death; he was
