?Chapter 1026:


    Unruffled, Harlee lifted her foot, and in an instant, the bodyguard hit the floor, groaning in difort.


    Herposure intact, Harlee drew a handgun and aimed it at the fallen bodyguard, turning to Matteo with an innocent look.


    “Really, Matteo? Gang henchmen as guards now? That’s a little shady, don’t you think?” As she articted her points, the screen red to life, suddenly showcasing numerous photographs of the bodyguard apanied by clips of his illicit deeds.


    The crowd inhaled sharply, their view of Matteo turning on its heel. Some began broadcasting the scene on their devices instantly. Under the threat of impostor security personnel, the reporters had been forced to halt their live streams.


    A fury brewed within Matteo, his fingers itching tomand Harlee’s demise, yet the circumstances forbade it. Instead, he subtly gestured to the security to handle those unting the photographs.


    Reading Matteo’s mind, Harlee shot him a taunting nce, fully aware of his turbulent thoughts. Matteo’s ambition was to wield power over both the shadowy corners and the sunlight of the legal world.


    His ns were faltering. She was set on his downfall, determined that today would mark the end of his reign.


    The crowd’s look of doubt deepened, and the scene teetered on the brink of chaos. Left with no other recourse, Matteo tried to salvage the situation.


    “There seems to be a misunderstanding here,” he said, his voice steady despite the inner turmoil.

    “It’s true my bodyguard once dwelled in the underworld, but like myself, he’s chosen a better path now. We were cornered into that life before, but now we’remitted to living uprightly, aiming to uplift everyone’s lives! To those who have weathered life’s storms, you understand the struggle…”


    Interrupting Matteo with a dismissive flick of her hand, Harlee retorted sharply, “Enough with these hollow words. Why don’t you look at the screen while you talk? It seems to be quite revealing.”


    At her prompt, Matteo nced back, only to see the same condemning footage reying.


    As he opened his mouth to attempt another exnation, the screen switched to disy the opulence of his life, strategically timed as if the person behind it knew exactly when to strike for maximum impact.


    The footage revealed not just glimpses of Matteo’s extravagant lifestyle, but also his ruthless executions, each one more horrifying than the previous.


    The crowd was in total disarray. This was excessively violent and truly horrifying. They would not support a man with such a history for mayor.


    The person in charge of the video, deeming the footage insufficiently shocking, purposely skipped ahead to the final moments, disying Matteo’stest act of violence. The calendar showed October 8th. It was the date of hisst public address.


    Matteo’splexion flushed with rage.


    He inhaled sharply, striving to quell his rising anger.


    However, the surrounding mor intensified, overwhelming his attempts to stayposed.


    “Please, everyone, calm down. This video is fabricated andpletely unrted to me! I’ll provide proof shortly!” Saying this, Matteo stepped back, moving toward his team of disguised soldiers while pointing at Harlee.


    “Seize this woman. She’s sabotaging my campaign!”
