A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 262: God of Laughter


The two entered one after the other.

The one in front wasn't very tall, with dark skin, limping as he walked, probably due to a problem with his right foot.

The one behind was younger, around thirty, holding two suitcases, though it was unclear what was inside.

Once the two entered the door.

Elsie Eames frowned slightly, asking Bjorn Dixon, "Why does the one in front look familiar?"

"Oh, he's called Teague Tanner."

"Teague Tanner, why does that name also sound familiar?"

Elsie Eames paused, suddenly realizing, "I know him, he used to run a mine in Stillwater County. I interviewed him during the 419 mine disaster, what is he doing here?"

Bjorn Dixon smiled slightly.

He said, "Miss Eames, this way please, I've prepared a SPA for you, Miss Eames can take a rest."

Even though Elsie Eames was curious.

She still followed Bjorn Dixon out.

An hour of SPA later, she felt much refreshed.

Just as she came out of the room, she saw that Kelton Levin was also done.

A few people stood at the door exchanging pleasantries.

"They say Mayor Levin is a mahjong deity, seeing it today, we are utterly convinced of our loss." Teague Tanner flattered.

Kelton Levin waved his hand and said, "Mahjong, it's about strategy, seeing three steps ahead, for some it's entertainment, but I treat it as a battlefield, different mindset, naturally different results."

"Impressed, we will go back and study hard, and seek further guidance from the leader next time," Teague Tanner said.

Kelton Levin looked pleased.

He said, "It's mealtime, let's have a casual meal together."

The two were flattered and nodded repeatedly, and everyone followed Caden Dixon with great enthusiasm towards the dining hall.

At this moment Elsie Eames noticed that the black suitcases they were holding earlier were gone.

Instead, Kelton Levin's secretary walked out of the room.

Those two suitcases were now in his hands.

It seemed that both parties had just completed a "transaction" through mahjong.

The dining hall ahead looked more distinctive, still with ancient architecture but decorated like a royal palace.

Everyone went in, expressing amazement.

Each politely took their seats.

Caden Dixon then called for the dishes to be served.

The dishes seemed to have been prepared long ago, with one command, a line of waiters came in consecutively, and what was refreshing was these waiters were dressed in ancient costumes, truly exhibiting the demeanor of The General's Residence maids.

The food was also sumptuous.

A variety of delicacies from mountains and seas were all present.

Kelton Levin seeing this, said, "Comrade Caden, don't you think this is somewhat excessive?"

Caden Dixon had already prepared an explanation, saying, "Rest assured leader, these wild delicacies are from the mountain Mr. Tanner contracted, can be considered as homemade, these seafood are raised by President Lewis himself, so it doesn't count as excessive."

After saying that.

Caden Dixon took a few bottles of mineral water from the waiters, saying, "Inside is homemade rice wine, not any good wine, brought for the leader to taste, hopefully, the leader won't mind."

Every word hit the sweet spot of Kelton Levin.

He laughed heartily, saying, "If it's not excessive, then let's start."

The meal began.

Amidst the exchanging of glasses, everyone began to become more relaxed.

At this time, Bjorn Dixon put down his wine glass and asked Caden Dixon beside him, "Executive Director Dixon, I heard that Dirk Carter has been causing quite a stir recently."

Hearing this, Caden Dixon immediately put down his glass.

He chuckled and said, "County Mayor Dixon, someone like Dirk Carter is a bit too self-assured, he's young after all, but don't worry County Mayor, I've arranged everything, tomorrow morning there's a good show planned to entertain you."

"Someone of Charlotte Ramey's level fell into his hands, do you think you can manage?"

Kelton Levin suddenly asked from the side.

Bjorn Dixon laughed and said, "Mayor Levin, in this matter, the person who really accomplished a great deed is actually Executive Director Dixon."

"Oh?" Kelton Levin asked with some surprise.

Bjorn Dixon continued, "Without Executive Director Dixon fanning the flames, Dirk Carter defeating Charlotte Ramey is just a pipe dream."

Kelton Levin looked at Caden Dixon, as if asking if it was true.

Caden Dixon laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "County Mayor Dixon praises too much, Deputy Mayor Ramey is great in every way, except her hand reaches too far, she's in the city but remotely controls Kenton County's education system, not leaving any benefits for everyone over the years, which caused public anger, just as Dirk Carter the hothead wanted to make a big deal out of it, I played dumb to help him, so no one will blame me for meddling, being considered a fool by everyone isn't bad."

As these words came out.

Elsie Eames, who originally had no expression, was inwardly startled.

Looking at Caden Dixon again, her heart felt a chill.

From the time she met him, he's been smiling; who would've thought he was hiding so deeply.

He's simply a God of Laughter.

Kelton Levin smiled and said, "Comrade Caden knows how to calculate, once Charlotte Ramey is toppled, you can justifiably take over the education system, even if you can't take over, with the County Mayor position vacant, it's also an opportunity for you, but what you didn't expect is that I sent Comrade Morgan to take the position, isn't that uncomfortable for you?"

Caden Dixon quickly waved his hand and said, "Leader, you're mistaken, with County Mayor Dixon managing the big picture, I'm beyond delighted, how could I be uncomfortable? If I were uncomfortable, I wouldn't have told him everything, isn't that right, County Mayor Dixon?"

"Yes, yes, Comrade Caden and I, instantly clicked," Bjorn Dixon laughed and said.

Everyone wore smiling faces.

But Elsie Eames could see that everyone here had their own hidden agendas.

No one present was a good samaritan.

What concerned her most was the good show Caden Dixon mentioned for tomorrow, she was very curious about what schemes Caden Dixon had secretly set up.

But since no one else asked, she couldn't ask either.

Honestly, she had some interest in Dirk Carter.

But that was just interest; she knew her limits.

"Comrade Caden, in the world of politics, everything seeks stability, after the 108 major cases, Kenton County is quite shaken, I have no other demands, for the time being, the political situation must stabilize, that is your primary work as the Executive Director, if something does happen, I won't help you," Kelton Levin cleared his throat and said.

Caden Dixon, with a turn of his eyes, immediately understood Kelton Levin's meaning.

The promoter behind the 108 major cases is Dirk Carter.

Thus, Dirk Carter is the destabilizing factor.

The so-called primary work is to eliminate Dirk Carter, only by eliminating Dirk Carter can one become part of the group.

Each word seemed to say nothing but said everything.

He quickly nodded and said, "Leader, rest assured, I will try my utmost to eliminate any destabilizing factors, but I can't quite grasp Secretary Young's intentions."

Caden Dixon was well-versed in this.

He wanted to tell Kelton Levin that he would definitely deal with Dirk Carter, but Dirk Carter is under Warren Young's protection, making it difficult for him to act.

Kelton Levin smiled slightly, saying, "Comrade Young has been in Kenton County for many years, without merits, he has toiled, after the new year, the city plans to adjust his position."

"Understood, leader,"

Caden Dixon was overjoyed to hear this.

He nodded repeatedly and raised his glass for a toast.

"Leader, just drinking is boring, Mr. Tanner prepared some entertainment, please provide guidance and criticism," Caden Dixon said, putting down his glass.

Kelton Levin's eyes instantly lit up, asking, "Oh? There's entertainment?"

Teague Tanner stood up and clapped his hands.

In the room, music started playing.

Then the four side doors opened simultaneously.

A group of women dressed in ancient dancers' costumes gracefully walked in.
