"You said that Dirk Carter is quite formidable, but I don't see it that way. I thought he would argue with me, but as you saw, he didn't even dare to make a peep."
Kanes Bates said disdainfully.
Gilbert Dixon said, "I didn't expect him to swallow such a big loss silently, it seems I've really overestimated him."
"Alright, don't worry about it anymore, he's also a coward. After this incident, he won't have much influence in the Municipal Government office. When the public anger rises, you can make your move, and I'll give the bonus back to you. By then, even if he's the top official in the office, his words won't carry any weight."
"Hahaha, then thank you, brother."
Gilbert Dixon laughed.
Kanes Bates waved his hand, saying, "We're brothers, there's no need for formalities..."
...
After leaving Kanes Bates's office.
Dirk Carter did not immediately return to the Municipal Government office.
