A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 400: The Unfriendly Visitor


A muffled thud.

Arlo Yarbrough's palm chopped at the bodyguard's neck.

The bodyguard, cigarette in mouth, collapsed to the ground.

After a whistle, Dirk Carter, Luna, Ewan Forrest, Rose Forrest, and others jumped in one after another.

Following the plan discussed outside the door, they scattered.

It wasn't long.

More bodyguards were taken down.

The main gate of the resort was opened by Ewan Forrest and Rose Forrest.

More people waiting outside quietly snuck in.

At the same time.

In the surveillance room of the resort.

The guard, watching the monitor, was dozing off.

An arm slipped.

The whole person staggered, instantly becoming alert.

Casually glancing at the screen, his eyes widened suddenly.

He saw a large number of people sneaking in through the gate, and his heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to pick up the phone on the desk, he heard a crash as the door to the surveillance room was kicked open from the outside.

In the urgency of the moment.

He pressed the red button on the desk.

After doing this, he was subdued.

Beep, beep, beep...

The alarm system installed in the manor went off.

Outside Benson Caldwell's bedroom, in the living room, The Leopard Cat, fully clothed, lay on the sofa resting. Hearing the alarm, her eyes snapped open, and she sprang up from the sofa.

She immediately saw Dirk Carter bursting in.

"Who are you?"

The Leopard Cat asked coldly.

"Dirk Carter."

Dirk Carter replied with a slight smile.

The Leopard Cat was stunned, knowing that Dirk Carter should be at the port for anti-smuggling operations. Why was he suddenly here?

There was no time to think further.

Enemies don't come with good intentions.

The Leopard Cat rushed at Dirk Carter like an arrow.

Dirk Carter sneered coldly, saying, "Courting death."

He swiftly moved to meet her.

Both threw punches.

According to Dirk Carter's plan, his punch should have been unavoidable for The Leopard Cat.

Nobody expected this woman's speed to be faster. Just as the fist was about to hit her face, she quickly ducked, and Dirk Carter's punch hit nothing above her head.

But The Leopard Cat's fist landed heavily on Dirk Carter's abdomen.

He staggered several steps before steadying himself.

The pain in his lower abdomen spread, even causing Dirk Carter to frown tightly.

"Heh, trash."

The Leopard Cat smirked coldly.

"Yo, a wild colt, huh?"

Dirk Carter murmured.

Just as he was about to continue attacking.

A hand landed on his shoulder, saying, "You're not her match, let me take over!"

Dirk Carter turned and saw Arlo Yarbrough already flexing his wrists.

Not trying to be a hero, he said, "If you like, it's yours."

Arlo Yarbrough didn't hesitate.

Teased, "Can't beat her, huh? Then leave it to me. You hurry up and find Benson Caldwell."

Dirk Carter gave him a thumbs up, saying, "All these years, you're useful only today."

"After this fight, you'll owe me another thousand bucks?"

"When did I owe you a thousand bucks?"

"Isn't this chick worth a thousand bucks?" Arlo Yarbrough retorted.

The two chatted as if no one was around.

The Leopard Cat seemed to feel deeply insulted.

Could no longer control her temper.

With a loud shout, "Courting death!", she charged.

That was what they wanted.

Dirk Carter and Arlo Yarbrough seemed content to bicker, but at the moment The Leopard Cat struck, their eyes suddenly gleamed.

As quick as lightning, they moved almost simultaneously, splitting left and right.

The Leopard Cat pounced into thin air.

Just as she was about to turn and retaliate, it was too late.

Arlo Yarbrough grabbed her right hand with both of his hands, while Dirk Carter secured her left hand.

Truly a top-notch bodyguard.

At the moment her hands were restrained, she attempted a 360-degree spin to shake off their control, but as soon as her body moved.

Both men reached out almost simultaneously, from left and right, a hand each towards The Leopard Cat's chest.

Though formidable, she was still a woman. When her private parts were attacked, The Leopard Cat was startled.

Instinctively dodged.

That dodge.

Prevented her from regaining her balance.

Both held her down, offering no room to escape.

Arlo Yarbrough pulled back halfway.

But Dirk Carter didn't. He grabbed The Leopard Cat's chest, exclaiming, "Wow, really big, really soft!"

"You pervert!"

The Leopard Cat exclaimed angrily.

Dirk Carter smirked shamelessly, and asked, "Where's Benson Caldwell?"

"I won't tell you."

The Leopard Cat firmly replied.

Dirk Carter laughed sinisterly and said, "Then don't blame me for being rude."

Saying this, he pulled a disposable cable tie from his pocket, swiftly tying The Leopard Cat's hands behind her back, then used another cable tie to bind her legs.

He tossed her onto the sofa.

This top-notch expert was now powerless.

Dirk Carter squatted by the sofa, glancing at the surveillance directed from the bedroom, and said, "Benson Caldwell, hiding like a turtle doesn't make you heroic at all. I've surrounded Clearspring Resort. Look, even your best bodyguard is now under our control. Do you really think we can't break down that door?"

Everyone thought Benson Caldwell wouldn't come out.

But as soon as Dirk Carter finished speaking.

With a creak.

The bedroom door opened.

Benson Caldwell, wearing traditional Chinese attire and cloth shoes, leisurely walked out from the bedroom.

Clapping his hands as he walked, he said, "Commissioner Carter is truly resourceful. I never expected, truly never expected."

Dirk Carter slowly stood up.

With a smile, he asked, "What was so unexpected for you, Mr. Caldwell?"

"I initially thought Commissioner Carter's anti-smuggling operation at the port targeted Jaden Lawson, but it turned out to be aimed at me. What a clever move to lure the tiger from the mountain. This way, all the men I could mobilize to Ardmore City gathered at the port, and even if they wanted to rush to rescue me, it would take a long time, right?"

Dirk Carter didn't argue, nodded, and said, "Mr. Caldwell, you're smart. You saw through it at once. I'm ashamed, truly ashamed."

Exposing Dirk Carter's plan.

Benson Caldwell couldn't help but feel a bit proud.

Just as he was about to speak, Dirk Carter asked, "Didn't it occur to you, Mr. Caldwell, how you ended up in Ardmore City?"

Hearing this.

Benson Caldwell shuddered.

Seemingly thinking of something, his expression twisted, asking, "Could it be Erica Linden..."

Dirk Carter nodded.

He said, "You're right. Miss Linden's arrival in Ardmore City was also arranged by me. Oh, and the incident reported by the bodyguard you sent to monitor her was true. The condom box at the door was something I deliberately left to lure you to Ardmore City. It seems you're quite devoted to Miss Linden."

At this statement.

Benson Caldwell's expression couldn't remain calm any longer.
