Ethan Hunt: Billionaire God of War
Chapter 696 - 700

Chapter 696

Ethan then walks straight into the elevator without caring for the surprised look on the receptionist's face.

He stepped out of the elevator and saw the Vice Director's office at the end of the corridor. The name on the door was Stanley.

Ethan knocks on the door and someone inside calls him to come in.

He pushed the door open and walked in.

Stanley sat in his office chair with his legs crossed. He sees Ethan coming in and taunts.

"Who are you? Where is Diane? Palmer Group really knows how to do dirty tricks huh."

He didn't bother being polite at all. Although no one said anything explicitly, they both knew what he was talking about.

"Mr Bird, do you praise me?" Ethan walked over and sat down in front of Stanley. "I'm CEO Palmer's driver, and since this is just a small matter, he doesn't need to solve it. I can finish this for him."

Stanley glances at Ethan and taunts with disdain. This is a very important matter and Diane told her driver to come?

Did he look down on Stanley? Or does he think a mere driver will be able to get data from him?

"Huh, go back and tell Diane," Stanley said directly. "We cannot provide the data that Palmer Group wants. Research laboratories have found certain problems with the data and need to be corrected and re-analyzed before it can be released. It'll take a few more months to complete, so you can come back after that."

Ethan laughs. He took out his cigarette and put one in his own mouth, then threw another one at Stanley's table.

"Mr Bird, you've gone too far with saying such a thing."

Stanley glances at Ethan and doesn't care about the cheap cigarettes Ethan throws at his desk. His face was filled with contempt.

"This data should be published in the industry. This is part of Mr Bird's job and also your responsibility. Why can't you give it when the Palmer Group asks for it?"

"Who do you think you are?" Stanley narrowed his eyes. "It's not up to you!"

Ethan smiled and pulled out a match to light his cigarette. He had been waiting for a long time to smoke. Now that Diane isn't around, she dares smoke.

Cigarette smoke filled the air and Stanley began coughing. He opens his mouth to yell at Ethan but Ethan speaks first.

"Mr Bird, let's get straight to the point. What terms do we have to agree to in order for you to provide data? It's exhausting for both of us to keep convoluted."

Stanley used his hand to fan the air around him and was filled with contempt.

"Tell Diane to see me for myself!" he scoffed. "You have no right to talk to me, please leave!"

"Oh no no," Ethan shook his head. "Master Bird, you're wrong."

"I'm not here to discuss this matter with you. I've been holding it for too long and just want to find a place to smoke."

Stanley's surprised. He doesn't know what Ethan's talking about.

"For the data, I'll tell you now. If you don't give it to me now, then I'm afraid you'll ask me to take it later," Ethan said with a laugh. "And I might not even want it when the time comes."

"HA HA HA!" Stanley slammed the table and laughed coldly. "Are you trying to joke with me?"

Ask him to take the data?

The fact that Stanley didn't ask the security guards to evict a driver like Ethan alone made Stanley kind to him. And now Ethan says Stanley's gonna beg him to get his data?

He can dream!

"I can tell you now that the Palmer Group will never get this data. If you want data, you can collect it and analyze it yourself" Stanley said with a happy smile. "But I don't think you can get anything useful in the next two to three months. Can you lose so much time?"

He knew that he was in control of the Palmer Group, and the company eventually had to give up.

But Ethan's attitude makes him very unhappy!

If he did not threaten them harder, then it might be difficult to reach an agreement in his favor later. He should be wearing more Palmer Group today.

Ethan sat on the sofa and closed his eyes slightly, as if he was not bothered by Stanley's threat at all.

He only thought about how hard he was not to smoke when Diane was around.

"Have you heard what I said ?!" stanley shouted with a red face. He starts to get annoyed with how Ethan ignores him and seems to be relaxing on the couch.

Is this bastard really here just to find a place to smoke?

Is the office a toilet or what?!

Ethan opens his eyes, smiles and puts his cigarette on the ashtray before waking up.

"Well then, I'll wait for Mr. Bird to send us his data."

Chapter 697

Ethan doesn't seem to care at all about what Stanley says all his time at the office.

Ethan seriously came here because he just needed a place to smoke.

After all, he had never smoked in front of Diane. He never stopped her from smoking, but he didn't like her smoking in front of him.

Even after Ethan left the office, Stanley was still sitting there speechless as he watched Ethan walk out the door and disappear.

It took a while before he calmed down and started cursing.

"Who do you think you are!"

"You want me to beg you? Dream on!"

"Palmer Group can forget about taking any data from me!!"

Stanley screamed so loudly that his voice echoed in the corridor, but Ethan pretended to hear nothing.

He came back down by elevator. The receptionist's face was all red because she was so excited, as if she had just woken up from a dream.

When she saw Ethan coming out, she quickly ran over and greeted him politely. "Master Hunt?"

"Yes?" Ethan nodded.

"Thank you! Thank you very much!" He could not help it anymore and kept repeating himself so as not to get too excited.

Ethan had given her a business card before and told her to call the number on that card if she wanted to move on to a better job.

He went to the bathroom to give it a try, and when he said that a very handsome man gave him this number in search of a better job, the other party immediately agreed.

He felt like he was dreaming!

The other party asked him what he could do and what salary he expected, and he already could not trust his ears. He could only tell her that she was a receptionist and she was only expecting $5,000 a month.

It was already $2,000 more than what he got now.

He had just said that as a joke and did not consider any of this to be real. But the other party seemed a little displeased and said that since his Big Boss had recommended him, then for a receptionist to bring home less than $10,000 a month was a disgrace to his Big Boss. He paid $15,000 a month and had her report to work the next day!

This ...it's like a dream.

He realized that he had actually hit the jackpot.

"Either. Just remember, kindness will produce good." Ethan doesn't talk much. He just wanted to reward the receptionist for being nice to her.

Ethan walked out of the building.

Diane and the others were still waiting in the car.

After Ethan entered, Diane quickly asked, "How did it go? Is he gonna give us the data?"

He didn't think Stanley wanted to give them the data, and he might have said a lot of bad things.

Even if he was willing to give it to them, it would be a very high price for the Palmer Group. There was no way they would not take this opportunity to extort as much money from the Palmer Group as possible.

"Of course he's willing" Ethan replied seriously. "That's Stanley even said that he'd get everything done and send it to us personally."

"Thank you?"

This doesn't sound real.

Never mind Diane, even Sabine doesn't believe that much.

He knows such an organization very well. They are the type who use the little bit of power they have to reap as much profit as possible for themselves, and they will not release data easily.

Besides, it was now the Palmer Group that asked them for something, so they were in control of the Palmer Group.

Stanley is clearly supported and controlled by someone from L'Oreal. L'Oreal is a brand that suffers from the booby traps that Ethan set up. Will they be so good with the Palmer Group?

Sabine didn't think so.

But Ethan says that Stanley has agreed to provide the data to the Palmer Group, and he will even send it to them personally.

So, no matter how impossible it sounds, Sabine chooses to trust Ethan.

"If he refuses, I'll beat him until he does!" tristan Scorn.

He doesn't like to make things so complicated. Using his fists is much easier. If one blow does not work, then two blows. If two did not succeed, then he would use as many as needed!

"Here we go" Ethan shook his head. "Sabine, teach your sister well and make sure she doesn't turn barbaric."

"okay." Sabine glared at her brother, then asked, "What should we do next?"

"Eat," replied Ethan calmly. "There's a private kitchen around here that's pretty good, let's go over there, treat me."

Everyone is dumbfounded.

Sabine obviously asked about the next step in getting the data, not about eating.

But since Ethan wants to eat, then they don't mind.

Stanley sees their car drive out of his office window and scoffs coldly.

"Where did this madman come from? Is everyone in the Palmer Group crazy? They think I'm gonna ask them to take the data? Fucking idiot!" Stanley sneers. "It looks like I'll have to tell Miss Bates to teach Palmer Group a harder lesson!"

Chapter 698

After thinking about it, Stanley got off and drove his own sports car to the Starling City L'Oreal branch.

At the same time.

The north!

At the Bates house.

Everyone sat tensely on the edge of their seats.

The head of the Bates family, Norman Bates, felt his throat dry. He wanted to say something but did not dare at all.

"Mr Winston, did the Bates family make a mistake?"

Winston Godwin sat in front of Norman Bates and there was an evil aura around him. Those who know nothing about him will think that he is only fifteen or sixteen years old because he looks quite young. But everyone who knew who he was knew that this man was like a demon king!

He was notorious for being arrogant and ruthless in the northern law circles.

He looked completely harmless as he smiled, but at least 800 or even 1,000 people had died at his hands, so he was a very ruthless character. But unfortunately he had tremendous power and authority, and he was responsible for investigating the powerful family. Who would dare offend him?

But Winston Godwin, just sat there and drank his tea without saying a word. This made everyone in the Bates family even more afraid.

Norman gulped and tried to smile sweetly while saying, "Sir Winston, I hope you can show me what the Bates family has done? If my family makes a mistake, I will fix it! I'll fix it right now. !"

Although Winston was young enough to be his grandson, Norman clearly looked like his grandson now.

Winston. His short hair was neat and his gaze was sharp. He glanced at Norman and there was an evil smile on his lips.

"The Bates family did nothing wrong."

These words made Norman feel even more anxious to cry now. He would rather know that the Bates family had something wrong. At least he'll know why he's going to die.

But since Winston said it like this, things got very serious.

"I happened to pass by and remember someone I knew from the Bates family, so I decided to stop by. Did Mr Bates not welcome me?" Winston looked like he was standing. "It's okay, I'll go then."

"No! Oh no, please don't!" Norman immediately paled and waved his hand desperately. "Mr Winston, that's not what I mean! Actually that's not what I mean, you misunderstand me!"

"Oh really?" Winston raised an eyebrow. "So, Mr. Bates welcomed me, right?"

Norman could only nod his head.

"......"

Norman did not know how to react. He felt so scared that his soul almost left his body.

If Winston stayed over, then everyone around the family would cut ties with them and keep their distance from the Bates family. The Bates family is devastated!

"May I ask who in my family Mr Winston knows?"

Norman took a deep breath. He knows the rules of the law circle well. They see only power and money!

The young man before him could easily destroy the Bates family from all sides and wipe out the so-called third level powerful family like his.

"Megan," Winston said with a smile. "The things he's doing now make me very confused. I don't know what to do and I can't understand it. So I have to stay here until I find out."

He smiled widely and looked at Norman apologetically, "Master Bates, are you alright?"

Norman could not refuse.

She smiled shyly and cursed Megan in her heart. What should his perpetually worried daughter do now to offend someone like Winston?

Her daughter is very career-minded and is her only daughter. He had always said that he wanted to make the Bates family a second-rate family or even a first-rate family.

To achieve this goal, he was willing to do anything. She refuses to marry, but she is willing to sleep with anyone who can give her the resources, so this does not reflect well on the Bates family.

But as this helped the family to move on, Norman endured all of this and never said anything.

But this time, he really got into big trouble!

"Mr Winston, what has Megan done to make you unhappy?"

Chapter 699

"I don't know either" Winston just shrugged. "I won't know what he's doing. Can't I just stay unhappy?"

"Of course you can! Sure thing!"

Norman was almost crying.

Winston was obviously denouncing his family, but even if he knew, Norman could do nothing.

The Bates family was not clean in their affairs at all. No matter how careful he was, the moment Winston decided to launch an investigation, he could definitely make the Bates family disappear from the north overnight!

Winston continued to sit there and dig his ears casually. "Why didn't you ask her?"

Norman was waiting for him to say this.

He quickly pulled out his phone and dialed Megan's number in front of Winston.

It took several rings before the other party lifted up.

Before Norman could speak, Megan spoke first.

"Dad! Good news! Our families can get more resources and advance to another level in the north!

His voice was filled with joy and pride. It was a rare opportunity to be able to step on the Palmer Group and rise in status. Not everyone can get this chance. Since he took it first, he was the winner.

"As long as I…"

"What are you doing?!"

Norman cut in before he finished and started shouting wildly. "I don't care what you do! Just stop! Stop it right now, you hear me?!"

The other end was dumbfounded for a while.

"Dad, what are you talking about? This is a very rare opportunity for the Bates family to make a name for itself in the north ..."

"There's no chance!" Norman cursed loudly and did not care that he was talking to his own daughter. His eyes were glaring with anger. "Do you know that you've made a big mistake? Do you know .. Do you know who you have hurt?!"

"The family is on the verge of collapse and you still want to make a name for yourself? Stop now! Stop everyone!"

Norman practically shouted on the phone. The dreadful fear in her voice made Megan feel all her hair standing up.

He had never seen Norman so frightened before.

After hanging up the phone, Norman's face turned deathly pale as he stood in place and was too afraid to move.

Winston looked up and he had a rather firm expression on his face.

"Mr Bates, there's some problem with what you said earlier," Winston said as he glanced at Norman. "Are you saying that I chose your family and I will destroy your family?"

"No! That's not what I meant! It was...my family who had made a mistake and we had a failed investment! That's right, we've made mistakes in our investments and we've done something against the law, so we should be punished! We deserve to be punished!"

"Why do I seem to force you to confess?"

Winston stood up and Norman felt cold. This demon kills without leaving a trace!

"I'm.no, that's not the case! Actually no!"

"Good then," Winston nodded. He walked over to Norman and patted his shoulder. "In general, the Bates family isn't too bad. Even though you've made some mistakes, they don't deserve to die. Go and report yourself and acknowledge the things you should have done."

"The most important thing is to stay alive, right? Mr Bates?"

"Yes yes!"

"Well, since we've solved the problem, then I won't stay to eat."

Winston got up and left without looking back.

Norman could feel his entire back being soaked in sweat.

The terror that came with falling into the abyss made him feel like he had just visited the ruler of hades.

All the other members of the Bates family could only watch as their family head curled up in front of Winston like he was a child and spoke very politely to Winston. He did not even dare to let out a fart.

"Master…"

"Begging someone to report to ourselves. The Bates family will suffer a huge loss this time."

Norman had a sad expression on his face as he closed his eyes slightly and clenched his fists tightly. He was just happy that Winston did not decide to kill them all, otherwise his family would not exist the next day.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide again and called Megan. He scolded her and told her what had happened. Megan almost fainted from fear after hearing all this.

"If the Bates family perishes, then you will be the biggest sinner of the family! So quickly stop whatever you're doing, I don't care what it is!"

Chapter 700

Norman smashed the phone in his hand.

Megan felt her heart was about to jump out of her mouth. His face was already out of color and he looked as white as sheets.

"Who supports the Palmer Group?"

His voice began to shake.

Hearing Winston's name alone was enough to tell him that this matter was extremely frightening. It was the demon king of the northern law circle.

He killed without leaving a trace and was notoriously cruel and ferocious. He was cold-blooded and heartless. Even a first-rate powerful family did not dare to offend this madman, let alone a third-rate family like the Bates family.

He just wanted to extort some resources from the Palmer Group and make things difficult for them so that he could make the Bates family famous in the north. How did this almost cause the destruction of his own family?

When he thought about this, he trembled violently. Desperation and terror made his self-esteem and confidence instantly crumble.

In front of such absolute strength, his plan was nothing!

In front of Winston, the Bates family was nothing!

Mega took a deep breath. But before he woke up, someone knocked on his office door and he almost yelled.

"Who is this?!"

"Miss Bates, Deputy Director Stanley Bird of the research lab is here, she said there's something important to discuss with you."

"Call him in!" megan said worriedly. He prayed fervently that Stanley would not offend the Palmer Group. He really hoped he didn't.

Stanley walked in with a big smile on his face. There was clearly a glimmer of excitement in his eyes.

"Miss Bates" Stanley walked over with a smile. "You're right, this Palmer Group is really too arrogant and too brave for their own good. I've already told them directly that they'll never get any data from me!"

"......"

Megan felt like she had fallen into a bottomless pit.

He could hear the horrifying screams from everyone in the Bates family, as if they were all vengeful ghosts!

His entire body started to tremble and his face was pale.

"What ...what are you saying?"

"The man from the Palmer Group actually said that even if I personally gave them the data, they wouldn't want it! Such arrogance! Who do they think they are?!"

Stanley continued to look ecstatic and seemed oblivious to Megan's change in expression at all. He seemed to be still waiting for Megan to praise him.

"Give it to them! Give it to them!!"

But unexpectedly, Megan suddenly started shouting. His voice was shrill like a vengeful ghost and full of terror. His voice almost broke Stanley's eardrum.

"Give them the data, you hear me?!"

Megan continued to squeal and no longer looked as graceful and graceful as ever. He seemed to have turned into a vengeful ghost in an instant.

The sound was so terrifying to Stanley that his body immediately stiffened.

"Miss Bates ... what ... what do you say?"

Stanley thought, what he's done wrong.

Megan wants him to give the data to the Palmer Group? Didn't he tell her to make it harder for the Palmer Group and make it harder for them to get her data? He even wanted to take this opportunity to exploit the Palmer Group.

But in just one day, Megan changed her stance.

"I said, give the data to the Palmer Group! Who told you to make things difficult for them?!"

Megan was nervous and agitated especially after hearing what Stanley said. The Palmer Group seems to have been prepared for this and told Stanley to send the data to them personally. Can the Palmer Group get Winston to do something for them?

The Bates family is almost dead!

Megan grabs the dumbfounded Stanley. "Are you listening to me? Give the data to Palmer Group! Give them everything!"

"Give them whatever they want! Don't make it difficult for them! You have no right!"

Stanley was really confused. Megan clutched her collar very tightly and she could barely breathe and started coughing loudly.

"Miss Bates!" She struggled freely and stared at how Megan looked like she had gone mad. He suddenly felt fear in his heart for some unknown reason.

Megan has lost all the confidence and competitiveness she has had in the past.

It was as if he was holding a hot potato in his hand, and if he did not throw it in time, it would burn him alive.

"I warn you, give the Palmer Group the data now and beg their forgiveness, otherwise..." Megan's body shook. "Otherwise, we'll both meet a terrible end!"

Stanley paled.

"That Palmer Group.we must not offend them!"

Megan's words threw Stanley into a deep abyss. He nodded and could not say a word.

What the hell is going on?

Just one day ago, Megan sounded like the Palmer Group was just a little chicken waiting to be slaughtered and she could squeeze it easily. But today, Megan's face was completely pale when she mentioned the Palmer Group.

He was so scared that he was shaking?

What the fuck? Then what about him?!

Did Megan just pull it fast?!

"What do you mean by this?!" Stanley is angry now and he clenches his teeth. "Megan! I just listened to your instructions and you played me?!"
