Chapter 503 - 513: Harmony
Christopher Brown is also a city mayor, a position of high power. Although not as high as Lucy Campbell’s, he’s not someone John Brown can order around. However, with the anti-corruption wave in SSUP Country growing stronger, as a mayor, he’s very sensitive to such matters. If Samuel Johnson keeps indulging his daughter and this gets out online, it won’t just be Samuel Johnson who is in trouble; the entire city will feel the immense pressure.
John Brown sent the video directly to him, giving him the chance to handle it discreetly, without causing a national frenzy that’s hard to contain. Thus, he immediately made his decision.
Despite Samuel Johnson’s usual arrogance, a call from the mayor means his political career is completely ruined, and once he enters the Integrity Department, he’ll likely never see the outside of a cell again. He immediately became dispirited, far from his former arrogance.
"Dad! Dad! What happened?" Rachel Wilson asked loudly, still ignorant of the crisis.
"Daughter, it’s over for me. The mayor has already called me to report to the Integrity Department."
As soon as she heard this, Rachel Wilson slumped to the ground, speechless and stunned. With her father finished, it meant it was over for her too.
Sarah Grandy sneered at this point, "This is called karma, you’re getting what you deserve now."
John Brown couldn’t be bothered with them anymore. In the past, he’d leave a way out for people, but Rachel Wilson was excessively arrogant this time. So he left them no room for maneuver, putting them to death directly.
The onlookers were all thrilled, witnessing a high-ranking official’s fall firsthand was immensely satisfying, making them feel as if they had helped contribute to his downfall.
Easton Johnson immediately left with his people. At this point, he needed to distance himself from Samuel Johnson. The city managers followed suit, as Samuel Johnson would no longer be their leader. They no longer had to flatter him. Today’s embarrassment was all due to Rachel Wilson; they were being extremely polite not to beat her up.
The crowd gradually dispersed. Samuel Johnson and Rachel Wilson supported each other as they left. Samuel still harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking Christopher Brown might just be soothing public anger, and he’d eventually face no serious consequences. Many former leaders had been taken down in this manner only to be transferred to other departments after some time.
