NovelAppChapter 1585 The Real Kingpin Edison couldn't handle the provocation and suddenly grabbed Taylor by the collar before throwing a punch.
Taylor didn't get hit, but the incident drew attention to Edison. He should have kept a low profile as the whistleblower, but he couldn't hold back.
It wasn't just Edison who didn't understand the situation. Even his superior, Fredric, didn't grasp that neither Dalton nor Wynter could be touched.

Meanwhile, the other was 001, the founder, with countless achievements and extensive experience in overseas operations, of the Special Unit known to no one.
If either of them were interrogated, it wouldn't be just a local affair-the news would reach Lucas immediately. "Say that again? Who did they arrest?" Lucas furrowed his brow as he looked at his secretary from the car's back seat.
"Ms. Quinnell has indeed been arrested and hasn't resisted. We're currently in the questioning phase. Mr. Keller, should we consult the higher-ups to get Ms. Quinnell released? And what about the truth behind the stock market case? Should that be revealed?" After hearing this, Lucas rolled down the window to clear his thoughts. He was well aware of Wynter's situation, especially regarding her identity. His teacher, who had always focused on the future of Cascadia and its people, had hinted that she was someone special.
Lucas had noticed this since his tin Southdale. Her seemingly casual actions always carried a deeper meaning. He understood better than anyone that a significant part of his rapid rise was due to the major cases she had often brought to him. Furthermore, she had her insights regarding economic development.
She had mentioned the stock market case to him long ago. It was a significant economic case involving the stock market and the Chamber of Commerce, with someone continuously siphoning profits overseas.
Families like the Wrays and Montclairs were mere pawns on the surface. The real kingpin hid in the background. Though she hadn't explicitly stated it, he suspected a protective umbrella was involved. His purpose in coming here was to unearth this long-standing protection.
He had anticipated that Wynter would meet him upon his arrival. Gordon founded the Chamber of Commerce, and as the Quinnell family heir, she should be familiar with its operational model. Yet, now she had been arrested. Lucas believed she had countless ways to avoid this fate with her capabilities. But now that it was made public...
He pulled his gaze back from the window and rolled it up again, saying, "Let's hold off on revealing the truth. We need to consult the higher-ups. However, the request isn't for her release but to increase manpower and elevate the confidentiality level.

"Understood." The secretary closed the file. The contentison.novelenglish.net!
Lucas was steady in his actions.
Although he was young for his young for his m position, he could maintain composure in front of certain people, likely due to his military background.
