Chapter 1079 - 1079

As soon as these words were spoken.

Everyone present dared not breathe.

Why?

Because of the tension!

Previously, the ten outstanding cadres Dirk Carter used to fish for candidates might not have sparked as much desire as being selected for such a high-caliber inspection group.

You should know that such a high-level inspection group has never existed in history.

To be selected, wouldn't that mean writing a significant highlight on your resume?

With such qualifications, wouldn't your future career path be stable?

So, when Elbert Rivers raised the list, everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

"After research and decision by the Supreme Disciplinary Committee inspection group of Novaria State, some cadres will be transferred from Silverwood City's Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to supplement the inspection group team. The member list is as follows: Erastus Hamilton, Athena Meyer, Heath Woods, and office director Rapp Carter."

After reading these four names.

Elbert Rivers put down the list.

"Is that all?"

Channing Langdon asked.

Elbert Rivers shook his head and said, "That's all."

Upon hearing these two words, Channing Langdon's face filled with disappointment.

"This is unfair!"

Suddenly, Sidney Lewis shouted at Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter tilted his head, looked at him, and asked, "How is it unfair?"

Sidney Lewis flushed and said, "Secretary General Carter, it's not just me saying it; the people you selected are merely the ones who helped you find that woman previously. This kind of transfer divorces from democratic principles. I'm the executive deputy secretary of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection; I'm the one most qualified to enter the inspection group."

"Oh, I understand. Secretary Lawson is saying you want to join the inspection group too, right?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Sidney Lewis couldn't directly admit it.

He could only mutter, "Anyway, I just feel it's unfair."

Benedict Hall also started chiming in: "Right, Secretary General Carter, even though you are the executive deputy leader of the inspection group, you shouldn't be arbitrary when transferring people from Silverwood City's Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection. How is this different from forming factions?"

"Does everyone think the same?"

Dirk Carter asked, sweeping his gaze around everyone.

Although others didn't dare voice it, they nodded along.

After all, being part of such a high-caliber inspection group is a substantial honor.

"I understand what you mean. Are you saying that comrades Erastus Hamilton, Athena Meyer, and Heath Woods aren't as capable as you all, and were only selected because they helped me find my missing friend, correct?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Sidney Lewis was the boldest.

He mustered the courage to say, "Yes, that's what we mean."

Dirk Carter nodded slightly.

From the stack of files in front of him, he pulled out a piece of paper.

This paper was precisely Megan Goodman's information that he had Elbert Rivers print and distribute to everyone.

He held up this paper.

And said: "Let me tell you why such a high-caliber inspection group was formed—it's all because of this girl."

These words were like a thunderclap.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Dirk Carter looked in Sidney Lewis's direction, asking: "Secretary Lawson, do you need me to tell you about her identity?"

Sidney Lewis initially wanted to nod.

But suddenly he shook his head, saying sullenly, "No need."

"What about the rest of you? Do you still need me to explain why you weren't selected?"

Dirk Carter asked again.

After all, having been in the official arena for so long.

Although they couldn't ascertain Megan Goodman's true identity, as Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection secretary, such words couldn't be said casually. Reflecting on the formation of such a high-caliber inspection group for a mere girl, everyone felt deep regret.

They wished they could travel back in time; they would surely have been the most proactive applicants.

"Secretary General Carter, let's not discuss this anymore. Please continue with the rest of the matters."

This time, Erastus Hamilton broke the silence.

Dirk Carter sighed and said, "The last matter concerns some personnel appointments within the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection; nothing significant, mainly just adjusting Secretary Lawson's position."

Sidney Lewis froze.

Looked at Dirk Carter in confusion.

Dirk Carter paused, saying: "This morning, Secretary Lawson voluntarily filed a report to be transferred to work at the Disciplinary and Supervision Committee of Silverwood City Prison; I've approved it. Secretary Lawson, today you can take up your new post."

Voluntarily filed a report?

When did that happen?

Being transferred to serve as the prison's Disciplinary Inspection secretary essentially draws a full stop to one's career path.

Sidney Lewis became furious.

Slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Dirk Carter, and shouted, "Secretary General Carter, when did I file a report? I think this is retaliation; I'm going to report you to the Municipal Party!"

Dirk Carter, seeing this.

Remained calm.

Said, "Secretary Lawson's memory isn't really good. After work yesterday evening, you called me from Athena Meyer's office. How? You forgot it? Should we recap last night's events? I believe Athena Meyer can testify."

Hearing this, Sidney Lewis.

Immediately turned ashen with fear.

He knew very well what had happened last night.

Dirk Carter didn't spell things out, but he hinted that if you voluntarily apply to leave, I won't make things difficult for you. Otherwise, we'll escalate the situation, and don't mention serving at the prison's Disciplinary Inspection; you might even lose your official cap.

After an intense internal struggle.

Sidney Lewis slapped his forehead.

Suddenly realizing, "Oh, oh, my memory! I did file the report voluntarily, didn't I? Thank you, Secretary General Carter, for the reminder. Then… then I'll hand over my work to…"

"You can directly hand it over to Secretary Hamilton."

"All right."

This word "all right."

Sidney Lewis said it very dejectedly.

After sitting down, it seemed like all the energy and spirit within him had been drained in an instant.

He knew.

From now on, he had no future in Silverwood City.

Although the others didn't understand the intricacies involved.

They realized one fact.

From now on, within the Disciplinary and Supervision Committee, there was only one voice, and that was Dirk Carter, who had completed the consolidation of power internally.

Especially those who previously aligned themselves with Sidney Lewis; they also understood that no matter how Sidney Lewis struggles, his era has ended.

Even the previous Disciplinary Committee secretary, Heriberto Sutton, didn't achieve this, but Dirk Carter did.

Looking at Athena Meyer.

She cast a grateful glance at Dirk Carter.

Originally, before she returned today, she considered resigning, as she thoroughly offended Sidney Lewis last night, and her future at the unit would be tough.

Unexpectedly, Dirk Carter made a remarkable comeback today and sent her biggest threat to the frontier.

But, how did Dirk Carter find out about last night's events?

It was Rapp Carter who told him.

Last night.

Because of some work at hand, Rapp Carter didn't rush to leave.

After finishing his work.

He habitually took a tour around the unit.

When he reached Athena Meyer's door, he heard the quarrel from inside.

After Dirk Carter returned triumphantly today, he immediately reported this situation.
