Unfortunately, there was no audience to cooperate.

James Carter could only call out Emily, “Does Dad look cool in this outfit?”

Emily rolled her eyes at James Carter in annoyance: “Dad, did you call me out just for something this boring?”

“Uh, I actually wanted to ask if I broke any rules today?” James Carter gave a dry laugh and hurriedly changed the subject.

“No, Dad did very well.”

Emily said with a look of anticipation, “After midnight tonight, you’ll be able to condense the Moral Aura.”

She thought for a moment and said to James Carter, “Emily suggests Dad keep his mouth shut and stay still from now on.”

“No need to go that far.”

James Carter asked again, “If I take some money here, and share some of the spoils, will there be any problem?”

Emily looked at James Carter with her beautiful crescent-moon eyes: “Dad, that’s something you need to ask yourself, not Emily.”

Do not speak or act improperly. The standard for this “propriety” lies with James Carter, not anyone else.

“The gang’s stuff, if confiscated, will just be divided up by all levels. Might as well give it to me.”

James Carter muttered to himself, “I’m just taking my share according to my labor, so I have a clear conscience.”

That reason was quite sufficient, and James Carter convinced himself!

“Someone’s coming, goodbye Dad.”

Emily waved with a smile, and her figure quickly vanished without a trace.

Less than half a minute later, someone knocked on the office door. James Carter walked over and looked through the peephole—it was Robert Foster.

Robert Foster had long grayish-white hair and a rather handsome face, though he looked lazy and tired.

He wore a long black trench coat, and underneath it, a faint metallic black sheen could be seen. He was probably wearing source armor.

James Carter opened the door and welcomed Robert Foster in, “Third Uncle, you got here fast.”

“Discovering a wolf demon is no small matter.”

Robert Foster didn’t bother with pleasantries. He strode into the office, and when he saw the corpses all over the floor, his face became even more solemn.

Although James Carter had already explained what happened over the phone, the scene was ten times bloodier than he’d imagined.

Most of the corpses died miserably; even someone as seasoned as Robert Foster found it shocking.

“You killed them all?”

“Yeah, they tried to kill me, Third Uncle. I had no choice but to fight back in self-defense.”

While James Carter was still explaining, Robert Foster laughed and scolded, “No need for pretense between us. No matter who’s right or wrong, I’ll always back you up.

He paused and added, “The reason behind this doesn’t matter at all. What matters is how we wrap it up.”

Robert Foster thought for a moment and said, “A patrol captain died, and he was your superior. Overthrowing your superior is a big taboo in officialdom.

“Just say Du Tao was killed by Duan Heihu. That’ll make things much easier.”

James Carter nodded obediently, “I’ll do whatever Third Uncle says.”

Although Robert Foster looked lazy, he was actually very capable and knew Linhai extremely well. It was right to listen to him.

“Duan Heihu being a wolf demon needs to be confirmed as soon as possible. Only then will the people behind the Black Tiger Gang not dare to pursue it further.”

Robert Foster said a bit regretfully, “It’s just a pity that Duan Heihu got away. With only our word, it’s a bit less convincing.”

James Carter pointed at the deep dents in the carpet and said, “Those are marks left by Duan Heihu crashing into things. There should be his blood and fur there. Take it back for testing and you’ll know…”

“Oh, that makes things easier.”

Robert Foster’s eyes lit up. He squatted down to examine the marks on the floor and found that the cement had been smashed into deep pits, and the carpet was covered in blood.

He looked at James Carter with a somewhat complicated expression: “James Carter, you’re getting more and more impressive!”

James Carter gave a shy smile, “You know me, Third Uncle. I was just born strong. Lately, I’ve also made some progress in source power cultivation.”

“To be able to do this, you should be close to lighting your source star!”

Robert Foster nodded in satisfaction, “I always knew you had extraordinary talent, just didn’t expect you to improve so fast!”

He stood up and gave James Carter a hard pat on the shoulder, “A genius!”

“Third Uncle, you’re flattering me.” James Carter looked modest.

“Gifted in source power, decisive in action.”

Robert Foster said with some regret, “It’s just a pity you’re not my real nephew!”

Source power talent can be compensated for with resources, but a person’s temperament is hard to change.

James Carter was always gentle, polite, and humble on the surface, like a gentleman. But when it came to action, he was decisive and ruthless.

Just this alone put him far ahead of his peers. James Carter also had an exceptionally strong mentality—after killing so many people, he could still remain calm and composed, without a trace of fear or anxiety.

Moreover, James Carter knew how to lower himself to ask for help and understood how to solve problems most efficiently.

That kind of wisdom was even more impressive.

The An family was considered a big clan and had some influence in Liaozhou. But the younger generation of the An family was lacking.

Compared to James Carter, the gap was even greater.

“Even though my surname is Gao, An Yuan and I are half-brothers. I am your real nephew, Third Uncle.” James Carter quickly clarified.

“Hahahaha…”

Robert Foster laughed heartily. He liked James Carter’s personality—polite and refined, but not rigid or uptight. On the contrary, James Carter had an indescribable ease and composure in his bones.

Even when flattering, it didn’t feel cloying; instead, it made people feel close and comfortable.
