"Are you unwilling to cooperate with me?"
Claire Kane was quite surprised to hear Dirk Carter say this.
She originally thought that once Dirk Carter learned about her background, he would agree without hesitation.
After all, the threat from Rasco Shaw to him is real.
For self-preservation, Dirk Carter would certainly agree.
Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "Not for the time being, I feel I, Dirk Carter, have the ability to protect myself."
"Secretary General Carter, you're too confident. I admit you do have your ways, but now you're facing the entire Houseman family and Rasco Shaw, the governor. What are you? Just a vice mayor, not even a committee member. Do you really think you have the ability to resist?"
"Perhaps."
Dirk Carter smiled slightly.
He headed towards the door.
Claire Kane, who originally held the leading position, became anxious.
She shouted, "Wait a moment."
"Does Ms. Kane have any advice?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Claire Kane blushed.
