Chapter 244 (Meeting the Mayor)

"Thank you, Mrs. Ludlow!" Bill smiled faintly before sitting down on a couch along with Jacob.

While waiting for Gene, the latter took the opportunity to scan the room he was in. The furniture in this house is old and worthless. This doesn't seem like a house fit for a mayor at all! Besides, Hazel's so friendly and humble, although she's the mayor's wife. I don't understand how Floyd ended up being so different from his mother.

Not long after that, the door to the study was opened, and four men walked out.

One of them was Gene. He was in his forties and looked like a total gentleman with glasses on. Although he was dressed in simple clothing, he exuded an authoritative aura.

The three other men must be the businessmen Hazel mentioned. One of them was a skinny guy with a goatee. Apart from his glinting eyes, Jacob felt a wave of spiritual energy emitting from his body.
