Ethan Hunt: Billionaire God of War
Chapter 691 - 695

Chapter 691

But Ethan only looked at Diane very gently and hugged her as he looked at the proposal on the table that had been edited many times.

"Everything decided?"

"Yes." Yeah." Diane woke up from a daze because they were talking about work. "I've set a general direction, but I'm still not sure about some of the details."

He looked at Ethan like he was asking for help.

Ethan accepted the proposal from her and nodded a few times.

"My wife is absolutely amazing!"

He took a pen and wrote some notes. Diane's eyes twinkled as if she had seen something shocking. He immediately pulls himself out of Ethan's arms and stares at the words Ethan keeps writing.

"Why didn't I think of that?" She bit her lips and suddenly started looking down on herself. "I'm too stupid, but you say I'm amazing. Are you laughing at me?"

"I wouldn't dare" Ethan replied seriously. "We must continue our plan north. But now, we just have to wait for a good opportunity. Always follow your intuition, okay? It doesn't matter what you do."

She wrapped her arms around Diane's slender waist and said gently, "I'll always be there for you."

"My husband, you're the best."

Diane wrapped her arms around Ethan's neck.

"Suddenly I wish we had some kids so I can see how you pamper them."

She wants to see how Ethan will spoil them like he spoils her.

"Oh no," Ethan suddenly shook his head. "I'll just spoil you."

Diane felt her heart melt.

……

Up north.

Long Group.

After Angelica learned that an important gantry like Bridgeport had been dropped by the Palmer Group, her expression did not change.

It was as if he had seen this coming.

But the directors of Long Group had very grim expressions on their faces.

They had underestimated the Palmer Group all along and felt that Angelica had overreacted and thought too much of the Palmer Group. This kind of company did not deserve their attention, and certainly did not need all Long Group to put their resources to prevent them from entering the northern market.

Who has ever seen an elephant arming itself against ants that it can easily step on?

But after the Palmer Group dropped Bridgeport and set their first foot north, they felt like they were struck by lightning and instantly woke up.

"Miss Palmer, the man behind the Palmer Group ..." One of the directors had been following Angelica for a long time and knew little about the workings of the north. "Are they supported by a strong family?"

"No," Angelica replied directly.

He glanced at them all. "And that's exactly why their rapid expansion is both awesome and a threat."

"I've said this before. The Palmer Group was very ordinary, but Diane was not at all ordinary. I don't need to remind you a second time" Angelica said. "If the Palmer Group manages to break through all the entry points and get to the north, then you can think of which floor this building wants you to jump from."

He then got up and walked out of the meeting room and returned to his own office.

He's a little unhappy.

"Ethan, you bastard!"

Of course Angelica knew that Ethan must have interfered. No one else can easily sweep through Bridgeport's illegal circle and drop it into the Palmer Group.

"Do you like it very much?"

Angelica bit her lips and her face was filled with jealousy. Ethan has never been this good to her before!

He's been checking all the information about Diane. At first glance, Diane doesn't look like much and there's nothing important about her.

But the more she understood about Diane, the more Angelica became envious and even jealous.

Diane's kindness, her innocence, the wonderful way she treats others – it's the things every woman wants to keep in herself. But how many of these characteristics are still left in Angelica after all these years?

And who can keep all these characteristics for years? That's too hard.

Kindness is not an innate part of anyone's character. That's a choice. One might choose it once, twice, five times or even ten times. But is there someone who can choose to be kind at all times?

Angelica wanted to say that someone like that did not exist, but Diane's only existence told her that it was possible.

"I can't believe he can keep making this choice forever!" Angelica sneers.

She stood in front of the window wall and tried to convince herself that Diane was acting. Even if he had been pretending for over twenty years now, one bright day, he would not be able to act anymore and would reveal his true colors.

"Diane, I really hope you'll lose just once."

Chapter 692

Long Group started sending more attacks.

Not just a Long Group. Many other parties who are threatened with profit also take action both blatantly and secretly.

If the Palmer Group makes it into the northern market, it's not just a business-world problem. That meant that the Long Group had been challenged and the Palmer Group had broken through the main gate of the northern market.

That meant that there was now a hole in the region that had been heavily guarded by the powerful families in the north for themselves.

No one wants to see this happen and no one wants to accept that this can happen.

It was very clear that the sooner the Palmer Group advanced, the more vigilant the powerful families in the north were against them, and their reaction would become even greater.

Diane had no idea that she had a chance to become a common enemy of the powerful family in the north.

He is now sitting in his office.

He had just finished the meeting and ascertained how they were going to enter the north. They will launch a new product suitable for people in the north.

They have decided and made final amendments on the product binders and various components that will make it suitable for use in northern weather.

The Palmer Group has made a lot of preparations, but they are now faced with a very practical problem.

They have no relevant research data.

"Before this, we had never sold anything in the north before, so we didn't have much data on the type of product the north market needed" Ashley said. “The feedback from the R&D department said that it is not difficult to make a product, but to make a suitable product and reach our Band 1 level, they will need more data support. CEO Palmer, I've checked it out. And there's a research lab in Starling City that has the relevant data we need. By law, this data is available for purchase by anyone in the industry."

"But .." he looked a little awkward at this moment. "This research laboratory is controlled by overseas shareholders, especially major international brands. When one of our staff went to inquire, he was immediately rejected."

"In addition, all relevant data has been archived and they suddenly decided not to sell it. Obviously they don't want us to have it."

Dian frowned a little.

That's too far. They obviously don't want Palmer Group to be able to create new products, so they will use all means and means to stop Palmer Group from getting any data.

If they had to gather it themselves before starting the research process, it would take too long.

Data in the industry is always shared to drive the growth and expansion of the industry as a whole. Palmer Group research data is also open to others.

So why is data a secret when the Palmer Group needs it?

It seems like there are a lot of people who don't want the Palmer Group to go north.

But it only proves that the expansion of the Palmer Group is enough to threaten them.

"No problem, I'll visit them myself," Diane made up her mind. He turns to look at Ethan who is eating nuts on the sofa. "Driver, aren't you going to prepare the car?"

"Yes, CEO Palmer!" Ethan smiled and stood up as he cleaned his hands. "We're going now."

No one else in the world can get Ethan around like that.

Diane was already very familiar with Starling City.

Back when the Palmer Group was about to enter the Starling City market, they had set a beautiful trap that started when they were still in the southeastern market, and one of the top ten international brands, L'Oreal, had set up, has entered into it.

The Palmer Group has stepped on L'Oreal to enter the Starling City market, and has even managed to set their own industry standards.

It is not surprising that international brands will use this opportunity to teach a lesson to Palmer Group.

The skin care and cosmetic data analysis laboratory in Starling City conducts research on the specific characteristics of various products and their designs, as well as analysis of combinations of various attributes.

There is a big difference in the formula of each product depending on geographical location, weather and people in each market. For example, the south is wet and humid, while the north is very dry.

If a company does not develop a product according to the needs of consumers, they cannot enter the market and will not get support from consumers.

As a research lab, their job is to use sales reports to analyze what appeals to different groups of consumers, but now, they have turned down Palmer Group's request to buy the data directly.

They clearly said that they could sell this information to anyone except the Palmer Group.

By the time Diane stepped into Starling City, news of her arrival had already reached the office of the general manager of the Starling City L'Oreal office.

"Of course he's here. I knew he was coming, and I was waiting for him."

The one sitting in that position was no longer Myles. He had made a mistake by getting into the Palmer Group trap, so that Palmer Group could step on L'Oreal and successfully enter the Starling City market. It made L'Oreal headquarters furious and they shot Myles on the spot.

Currently, the person sitting in that position was Megan Bates, a member of the Bates family, a powerful family in the north.

Chapter 693

Megan Bates is very elegant and graceful. The feeling she gave to others was that she was someone very high in standing and a rich woman.

Although she was almost forty years old, her extensive beauty regime kept her looking as young as ever.

"Miss Bates, the Palmer Group definitely needs this data to go north. As long as we don't give it away, they'll fail."

"You think too simply. The Palmer Group is not stupid enough to put all their eggs in one basket" Megan said with a smile. "I'm sure they must have started their own data analysis, but this will require more time on their part. I'm afraid nothing can stop the Palmer Group from entering the north. It's just a matter of time."

He could see things very clearly. The only thing he could take away from the Palmer Group was time, and this delay was enough for him to make the Palmer Group pay dearly.

Given the current pattern of progress of the Palmer Group, Long Group alone was not enough to stop them. Other powerful families in the north who had a hand in this business also had to work together.

This was a terrifying amount of strength!

But he doesn't care about any of this. He himself came from a powerful family in the north, a place where the benefit network was very complicated. So he knew that protecting his own interests was the most important thing.

"We don't need to care about what happens to the Palmer Group in the future. The most important thing is what we can get out of this great storm" Megan said calmly. "Do you know why Myles lost?"

"That's because he thinks too much of himself!"

So many others managed to hold back when the Palmer Group set a trap. Only Myles could not help himself and went straight into it. L'Oreal was very shy and Palmer Group overstepped them and got a place in the market.

L'Oreal won't take this lying down. They're going back to the Palmer Group.

"Yes, yes, Miss Bates is right. So what should I do?"

The man standing in front of Megan was the deputy director of the research lab in Starling City, Stanley Bird.

Although her position was not low and she mastered quite a lot of power in the industry, she behaved lowly in front of Megan. Not just because Megan is a very impressive woman, but because of her background.

He came from a powerful family in the north, so Stanley could not offend him at all.

Megan suddenly entered Starling City instead of just to lead the Jalak L'Oreal City branch. He had other motives in mind.

This Palmer Group will suffer tremendous losses!

"We can give it, but it's not easy to give" Megan said. "Also, there will be certain conditions."

He looked up and his wavy golden hair was flowing. There was a sneaky look in his eyes. "Do you know what it's like to be hopeful, then disappointed, and finally desperate?"

Stanley Bird shook his head.

"You don't know, and I don't know either" Megan got up and walked over to Stanley. He reached out his hand and gently stroked his chest, making his body instantly slightly stiffened. "But Diane will know soon."

Stanley felt his body shudder.

She used to think that women were all weak and gentle, but after meeting Megan, she realized that women were the most terrifying living creatures. Especially the older women, even fiercer than lions and tigers.

"Yes, Miss Bates, I know what I have to do" Stanley replied politely.

Megan nodded happily. "Vice Director Bird, as long as you handle this matter well, I can eliminate the word 'Vice' in front of your title."

"Thank you, Miss Bates!" Stanley was very happy. He quickly nodded politely and left the office.

A disappointed look on Megan's face.

"You're all trying very hard to stop Palmer Group, but you don't realize that this is a good opportunity to use Palmer Group to make a name for yourself, to boost your own reputation, "mock Megan. "My name will soon be famous all over the north, and my family will level up!"

…

Diane had waited long enough on the ground floor of the research lab.

"I'm really sorry, but the Deputy Director in charge of this matter has not returned to the office yet, please come back another day."

The receptionist prevents Diane from entering. He kept repeating the same sentence about how the Vice Director was not around, and Diane would not be able to see him even if she came in.

Diane opened her mouth and wanted to say that she saw her car in the parking lot, so she was definitely on top but refused to see it.

He was clearly trying to bully the Palmer Group.

"Thank you." He looked at the receptionist and did not lose his temper or raise his voice. He nodded politely and left.

When Ethan and the others see Diane walking out of the building, they know she can't see the person she wants.

"Mrs. Hunt, there's no need to go through a lot of trouble. I'll bring my people in and drag that guy out!"

Tristan doesn't understand why Ethan had to go through so much trouble and even made Diane come all the way here. To him it seemed excessive.

That person was only a deputy director of several research laboratories, so Tristan could drag him out by himself!

Chapter 694

"Different circles follow different rules," Sabine sat on the other side and shook her head. "You have to follow your own rules to get things done. Mr. Hunt's goal is to ensure that each circle sets its own rules and follows them to maintain their own order. If you go in and beat up someone else, then you've broken the rules of this circle."

She is a smart woman and knows very well when to do what.

Things in the circle of law must be done in ways that the circle of law does. If this matter belonged to an illegal circle, then Ethan wouldn't need Diane to come here.

He just needs to say that word.

Ethan laughed and turned to glance at Tristan. "Learn more from your sister. You wouldn't go far in this world if you just relied on your fists."

"Yes, Mr. Hunt."

Diane's back in the car. There was a hint of disappointment on his face and he shook his head. "Stanley refused to see me, he did this on purpose."

If he couldn't even see it, then he couldn't even negotiate with her.

Even if there were conditions to be met, they would have to talk about it. But if the other party refused to look at her and pretended to be out of the office, then Diane really did not know what to do. Surely he can't just barge into his office, can he?

That's not his style of doing things.

"He doesn't exist?" Ethan turns to see Stanley's favorite sports car parked there. If he doesn't exist, then does the ghost drive this car here?"

"She really likes cars and never lets anyone else drive her car, so there's no way she's not getting in," Diane put on a face and sighed, "But if she refuses to see me, it's impossible, then what can we do?"

"We're going to make it down ourselves" Ethan said.

Diane froze for a while before suddenly reacting.

"You..you're going to destroy the car?"

Stanley loves his car like he does his own life. If the car breaks down, he'll definitely get off.

"Of course not" Ethan laughed out loud. "Am I such a bad person?"

He pulled out his phone and called Tyler.

"That's right, get a decent actress and make sure she acts well. Tell her it's an audition, and if she does well, she can be the female lead tomorrow" Ethan said on the phone.

Everyone in the car was shocked.

Even Sabine doesn't know what Ethan's trying to do.

His thought process was always different from others.

He thought the same way as Diane. As long as they do something to Stanley's car, then he'll definitely come down. Once he got off, they couldn't avoid meeting again.

Back to the top.

Stanley sits in his office and watches Diane leave disappointed and returns to his car.

"Hasn't the Palmer Group been okay lately? Since they really have to beg me for something now, let's just leave them out there for a minute."

Stanley remembers what Megan told him.

Even if they had the conditions to sell his data, he would have to wait until the Palmer Group lost almost all of their fighting spirit.

If one side is much stronger than the other, it will be easier to reach a deal that benefits Stanley more.

"Mr Hampton, your car is still downstairs. If they touch your car..."

The secretary was a little worried.

That was a big weakness for Stanley. More serious about hurting his car than hurting his own wife!

"Hoho, do you think I didn't think about it?"

Stanley laughed coldly. Cars are nothing compared to being the Director of this lab.

He deliberately parked it there to let them know he was upstairs but refused to see them. He wanted to see how helpless they were!

If they actually wrecked his car, then he had a better reason to reject the Palmer Group's request.

Stanley thought about all this. He waited for Diane to not hold back and wrecked her car.

But suddenly there was a loud voice. This was completely different from what he expected.

"Stanley! Stanley's! Get out now!"

That sound is very loud. Although Stanley went up a few levels, he could hear this voice as well.

His expression changed slightly and opened the window. He saw someone downstairs using a very powerful loudspeaker. His voice echoed like thunder and he could probably be heard within the next few hundred yards.

"Who is that?!" Stanley shouted while frowning. "Tell security to drag him away!"

There was a woman downstairs who was obviously very pregnant. Her hair was a little disheveled and her face was pale. He looked a little sick and tired, so anyone who saw him would feel sorry for him.

"Stanley! Out now! You heartless man!"

"You are deceiving my feelings and even my body! You're inhumane!"

"So you're not responsible after you put your clothes back on?! This kid is yours! You bastard!"

The woman continues to cry and wail about how she has been fooled by Stanley and thinks that Stanley is single, but Stanley is married. Now that she's pregnant and doesn't know what to do, Stanley forces her to have an abortion!

Chapter 695

He continued to shout loudly to the loudspeakers and was immediately surrounded by an equally angry audience.

"This motherfucker! He's a real asshole! He's married and still playing with women? You dick!"

"Who is this Stanley? Is he in this building? If you're still a boy, get out of here!"

"He's really outrageous! How could he do such a thing? He's worse than an animal!"

"Stanley seems to be the deputy director of this research lab, you can find him online. So he's a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

……

The crowd was getting louder and louder. Their voices were heard loudly around the building even without the help of a loudspeaker.

These days, many people cannot stand irresponsible men who have wives and families but hide this fact from clueless women in order to deceive them.

These people should be shot!

"Stanley.you have to explain everything to me! I don't want money! I was just wondering if you still wanted your own child!"

The woman continued to cry loudly and sobbed as she touched her pregnant belly. His face was filled with anger and suffering and he almost fainted from not being able to breathe properly.

He looked very pitiful and everyone around him felt very bad for him.

More and more people gathered and there were some who wanted to run to drag the Stanley animal out.

Ethan sat in the car and nodded.

"He's really talented. I'll make him play a movie tomorrow."

Diane's face was red. He never thought that Ethan would use such a method to force Stanley out of the building. If he did not resolve this personally, his reputation would be greatly hit.

Not only would it be a problem to remain in this research lab, it would even be a problem for him to remain in Starling City.

Tristan is really on the floor. Is this what Ethan meant by using his brain to solve problems?

Even if he had three brains, he wouldn't find this!

"Stanley! Get out of here!"

"Stanley, if you're still a man, come out and take responsibility!"

"This dirty guy! How dare you do something like that! He's not human at all!"

Several women gathered and shouted angrily at the building. Their sound was even louder than the loudhailer and the building's glass would soon break.

Stanley stood on the top floor and his expression became very evil.

This not only forced him to come down. It threatens his reputation!

And he still dreams of becoming a director?

He would make headlines the next day and he might not even be able to stay in Starling City anymore. He would become the public enemy of the people because he matched the typical image of a jerk.

"Excuse him! Hurry up and get rid of him!" shout Stanley.

Several security guards had come out to repel the woman, but there was no way some of them could stop the angry mob.

The guards were also afraid to get close when they saw how fierce those people were.

"Why do you want to hit us? We'll call the police!"

"We're going to file a complaint against Stanley! How could such a jerk occupy such a high position in this lab? You think the Starling City people are dead?"

"Come and try!"

The security guards could only retreat.

There were more and more people gathered and some even started using their phones to record the entire process. It won't be long before this research lab becomes Starling City's local news.

Stanley felt his hair stand up.

Of course he knew that Diane was behind this.

He wants her to show up.

What a cruel act!

He called the receptionist. "Tell Diane that I'm going to see her, but she has to get rid of that woman!"

Stanley slammed the phone and his face was deathly pale.

In no time.

Diane was sitting in the car when she got a call from reception.

"Stanley said he'd see me." He was surprised, "This method is very effective ?!"

"If he doesn't show up soon, the next action will start" Ethan said. "Tyler wrote the full drama series on the spot. There seems to be no chance of showing up right now."

He looked sorry when he called Tyler.

The woman at the entrance quickly fainted from yelling too much. The ambulance came and took him away.

The spectators ended up just spitting at the entrance of the lab, cursing it and then leaving the place.

"You can wait here" Ethan told Diane. "I'll go up."

"I don't have to go up?" Dian surprised.

"He's a disgusting man, I don't want his face to affect your appetite."

"It's fine then."

Ethan gets off and walks into the lab's main lobby.

"Hello, Mr. Bird's office is on the 13th floor." The receptionist had a very good impression of Diane, so when she saw someone from the Palmer Group was here, she whispered this to Ethan to help her.

"Thank you" Ethan smiled and pulled out Tyler's business card. "If you want to move on to a better job, call this number."
