Chapter 791 A New Mayor

Relieved of duty?

Blake Bowman as the new mayor?

Johnson was stunned.

“Hahaha, Johnson Brooks, I bet you never would have thought that I would come back to the city council and take your place.”

Blake walked up to Johnson with loud cackles and peered down at him. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He once competed with Johnson for the mayor’s position, but lost, which left a bitter taste in his mouth.

“Johnson, Master Hudson and Master Gregory saw potential in you but you embarrassed them because of that idiot Kaze. Now you know what mistake you have made. This is what happens when you disrespect the Lee and Vinland families!”

His old rival finally lost and it fueled Blake’s delight. He sneered at Johnson in front of everyone in the city council.

Johnson’s expression turned bitter.

He knew the Lee and Vinland families had made their moves.

“Congratulations, Blake. Your wish finally came true. It’s exhausting to be the mayor. Now that I am relieved of my duty, I can relax at home, maybe read a book or have some tea.”

After finishing the handover, Johnson was about to leave.

“Hold it right there. Where do you think you are going? I’m not finished with you,” Blake

said.

He grinned wickedly and explained, “You have sided with Kaze Lee for too long and I bet you enjoyed many benefits from Quartet Group and the other companies. You are hereby put under investigation and if you are found guilty of corruption or any other crimes, you will be put behind bars!”

He knew why Hudson and Gregory made him mayor.

In short, he was the blade that Hudson and Gregory were using to cut the five companies into digestible bites.

If Johnson was found guilty of any kind of crime, then the five companies would be affected. “Blake, stop with your accusations! Besides, you have no right to investigate an ex–mayor!” Johnson bellowed.

He never got anything from the five companies.

Blake scoffed, “I might not have the right but the governor’s office does.”

“The guys from the governor’s office are here, Johnson. You have to go with them,” said Trafford with a subtle grin.

Johnson was relieved of his duty as mayor and Blake took over his position.

The news spread like cancer across the city.

It was so sudden that no one saw it coming.

That night, the Bowman family’s status skyrocketed.

Many other families and companies visited their mansion with gifts and congratulatory

messages.

The gifts were not actually for Blake himself but the Bowman family took everything.

The Bowmans were affiliated with the Lee and Vinland families, who had the power to change the mayor with just a few words.

There was nothing to be afraid of anymore.

Blake’s eyes gleamed when he saw the presents, but he was not satisfied yet.

Most of the presents must be given to the governor’s office and Trafford since they did all the heavy lifting and made Blake the mayor.

The Vinland and Lee families were just the masterminds, so Blake had to maintain all the

connections himself.

“Who else isn’t here with presents?” Blake asked openly.

“Dad, Quartet Group, Shangrila Group, and Perfect Group aren’t here. The Vikrom, Logman, and Joestar families didn’t send their congratulatory messages as well. Gold Tooth and Dan Niners too,” said Aaron, Blake’s son.

“Hmph. They are stupid for siding with Kaze and disrespecting me as the mayor. I will show them.”

Blake did not take the companies and families seriously.

With the Lee and Vinland families backing him, and as mayor, Blake had many ways to torture them.

The following day, Kaze brought Brenda to Shangrila Group for a day tour.

Suddenly, Bernard Vikrom, Peter Logman, and Jack Joestar came in a hurry.

“Mr. Lee! My company was investigated because of a taxation problem and we were fined.
