Ethan Hunt: Billionaire God of War
Chapter 706 - 710

Chapter 706

Bridgeport was the first gantry in the north to be taken over by the Palmer Group.

Owen Foss is now based in the city. Number 5 and a few others stayed by his side to help him resolve some of the problems.

In just a few days, Owen had unified the Bridgeport market and paved the way for the Palmer Group to advance. No one in the illegal circle dared to offend him at all.

The number of people lost in that last storm was so many that it could not be counted!

Even the highly skilled warriors sent by the powerful families all perished. Only one managed to escape but he was completely insane, as if he had witnessed something extremely frightening.

Owen is looking for materials to manufacture Palmer Group's new products.

Most of the raw materials suitable for the northern market were all found in the north. There are some important ingredients that are only found in the north.

That was the mission Diane gave him.

He did not expect someone to come knocking on his door right after he sent word of this.

Daren Street seemed rather polite and filled with sincerity.

"Sir Foss, this root is typical of our area. Everyone usually just boiled it in water as a drink, and it was much more effective than the herbs in the south!" daren said with a smile that looked quite honest.

Owen nodded.

He knew the effect of this root. They are not expensive, but they are very effective.

This is a raw material that Palmer Group's new products cannot abandon.

But because Daren offered all his savings at below market prices, Owen became more cautious.

"I'm sure the Palmer Group isn't the only one who needs this potion, right?" Owen reached out into a few random bags to make sure there were no problems with these supplies. "I'm not sure why you're willing to sell it to us at such a low price? The profit margin is very low."

"If you want to do business, especially long-term business, we have to spend money first and then can profit later" complained Daren. "Our ancestors taught us this principle years ago, didn't they?"

"Nobody can stop the Palmer Group from advancing north, I can see. If I don't take this opportunity to join your team, then when?"

He looked sincere and honest, as if he held nothing back.

"Your words make sense" Owen smiled back.

"Mr Foss, don't worry, there's no problem with these items at all. We can state clearly in the contract that if there is any problem you do not need to send the goods back and I will refund your money!" daren said very sincerely while patting his chest.

"I really have to thank you, Mr. Roads. You are Palmer Group's first friend in Bridgeport," Owen reached out to shake Daren's hand.

Both men had smiles on their faces. Daren did not know whether Owen's smile was genuine or not, and Owen also did not know whether Daren's smile was genuine or not.

After obtaining a large amount of rootsticks, Owen asked people to check his goods. Once they made sure that there were no problems, he arranged for everything to be sent to Greencliff.

On the other side.

Daren had opened a bottle of wine he had kept for many years. He's ready to celebrate.

There was no sincerity and authenticity he had before. He only had joyous excitement because his plan had worked.

"Boss, Director Lynch is really smart to do this!" his subordinates started to apply butter towards him. "That's her right to pass this job to you! You called a shot at Bridgeport, and the Palmer Group clearly knew this."

Daren twirled his glass and took a sip.

"I'm nothing compared to Director Lynch" he booed. "Do you think an ordinary person can become a director in Long Group's purchasing department?"

"The Long Group's Reign is flowing very deeply."

"Of course, of course," his subordinates quickly smiled. "But now the Palmer Group has the ingredients they need and the formula in hand, then they can mass produce their products. Isn't that the same as Director Lynch giving his enemy bullets?"

He doesn't understand this at all.

"You know nothing!" Daren sneered and looked mysterious now. "Say, where does the Palmer Group sell their new products?"

"North."

"Palmer Group has already said that they are entering the northern market, right? So once the product is ready, will they advertise it?"

"Of course!"

"So, are they going to make their products in bulk?"

"Of course, it just makes business sense."

"But if their new product catches the attention of consumers and consumers all wait expectantly only until they cannot enter the northern market, do you think they will be able to quell consumer anger?"

Daren narrowed his eyes as if he was already looking forward to seeing the Palmer Group scolded and cursed, losing their credibility, and seeing all their products go to waste.

They will die horribly!

Chapter 707

To really enter the northern market, there are five gantry points.

Bridgeport was the first. The Palmer Group had dropped this one, and Owen became famous here in no time.

He made the name Palmer Group suddenly rise to power.

Their strong stance led some in the industry to say that the strength of the Palmer Group was unstoppable.

But all the really powerful families in the north, and especially those who know a lot about the north, all know that Bridgeport is the easiest gantry to take over.

After all, the people who controlled this city were a group of third-rate families. So there was no way they could hold out against the rising Palmer Group.

Of the five, there are three that are not worth mentioning. But the latter two are backed by very strong forces in both legal and illegal circles.

If they don't want to let Palmer Group in, then there's no way Palmer Group can get in.

In addition, the supporters of these two gantries have a sizable share in the profits of Long Group. So there is no way they are willing to see others take the little advantage they enjoy.

The Palmer Group's plan to enter the north was doomed to fail.

Not only will they fail, but they will also bear a bad reputation as an untrustworthy company. They would fail to enter the north and might even lose their existing market in the south.

But nobody at Palmer Group knows about this. In fact, they felt they were going to win this war and were very happy about it.

When Daren thought about how the expression of the Palmer Group as their anticipation became hope, hope became disappointment and disappointment eventually became despair.

He's impatient.

Lennard's idea of making his enemies wild with joy before being completely destroyed was a stunning move.

"Wait and see how badly the Palmer Group will suffer! Once they're completely destroyed, it's our turn to reap!"

Daren started laughing out loud.

He had been following Lennard for many years and this was not the first time he had performed such an act. It made him excited no matter how many times he did it.

What's with Greencliff as a forbidden territory?

This is north!

This place is truly a forbidden territory!

And as Lennard had predicted, the Palmer Group embarked on an aggressive promotional campaign.

There are ads for upcoming Palmer Group products on TV, on the internet and everywhere.

Even the most popular singer of the moment, Victoria Clark, has released a new song, and her music video was filmed based on the Palmer Group's new product concept. It had caused a huge frenzy among his fans.

Palmer Group became a bestseller in the southeast and also in Starling City. So there are many who are looking forward to what they are going to sell in the north.

Only those who truly understand the north, like Lennard, know very well that this may be the last moment of the Palmer Group's glory before they die.

"We are not greedy people, and we can only take advantage that Bridgeport can offer. Daren gets 30%, the rest can share the last 20%, the last 50% belongs to me."

Lennard had already thought of how to split his loot. He always works like that.

He will make sure to set up a game he will win, and when he wins, he will quickly collect the spoils. If there were too many greedy people involved, then the amount he would get would be reduced by a lot.

Almost everyone in the Long Group was a greedy person.

They all raised their glasses and clinked them together.

"Director Lynch, you're absolutely amazing! That's incredible!"

"Director Lynch, I wonder if anyone else attacked them as well. If they try to fight with us, it will be bad for us."

"There are a lot of people in the Long Group watching the Palmer Group."

Daren and the others were still a little worried.

Although Lennard was supported by a first-rate family, there were many others within the Long Group who came from extremely powerful families, and Lennard could not fight them.

“Don't worry, they don't care about a small place like Bridgeport. But that's why I said that we shouldn't be greedy. We should eat according to how much we can eat. If you eat too much, you're choking to death" Lennard said with a smile. "When our appetite gets bigger, then we can eat more, right?"

They all laughed out loud.

Chapter 708

Meanwhile, the,

Palmer Group's promotions for new products cover every inch of the north.

They're not holding back at all.

Diane is very confident in this new product. The product has reached the standards of the Band 1 Palmer Group, and he is confident it will cause a storm in the north.

"It protects the skin and even improves the skin, and once absorbed into the skin, it improves your skin. More importantly, it is classified as a Band 1 product and can compare or even exceed products from big brands.The price advantage we have is much higher than theirs!"

Victoria was amazed by how the R&D team at Palmer Group was able to produce such a great product in such a short period of time. "When this product is released to the market, it will definitely become a bestseller!"

He turned around and his eyes lit up brightly. "Diane, how did you do this?"

He really can't believe it.

This is a product made by a company that is only one year old.

"That's because we have a lot of talent! We have talent in every department, and they are the best of the best!" diane replied with a satisfied smile.

In addition, all of these talents actually treat the Palmer Group as their family, and treat the company like their own business.

The amount of energy that exploded was indeed shocking.

Diane hugged Ethan. "And we have THIS talent here! With him around, there's nothing we can't handle."

Victoria didn't say it again.

He had never seen anyone so arrogant. Diane used to be very shy and too shy to call Ethan 'husband' in public. But now she barely uses her name and calls her 'husband' even in the office.

He is very sorry for the staff that worked with them like Ashley. They have to work so much overtime in the office, and have to submit to both who are always friendly all the time.

The bad stuff.

The Palmer Group could go north, causing a storm and even rise to fight the Long Group. It's all starting to look possible.

Some people who had not thought too much about Palmer Group started to change their stance and started supporting Palmer Group.

More and more suppliers came to contact Palmer Group, and production of Palmer Group reached its peak.

Diane could sense that something was wrong. He felt like there was someone secretly pushing them so that the popularity of the Palmer Group continued to rise and would soon reach the clouds.

But Ethan tells her not to worry about anything, so Diane doesn't worry anymore.

Diane continues to direct the Palmer Group as planned.

The look in their eyes was enough to scare everyone.

After going through so much and training so hard since the first stage of training, everyone had passed the third stage.

Their increase in abilities was more than shocking now.

There was a complete change in themselves from within, and they also did not know how to describe it.

"I told you, it feels so good to be standing on top of the world" Ethan said calmly as he looked at them all. "You taste it?"

"YES!" all the wolves answered in unison.

The third stage was completely different from the previous two.

The first two courses Ethan devises are to set their foundations and use the shortest possible time to bring out the potential of the wolf.

This third stage arms the wolves and turns them into killing machines.

None of the movements were complicated, but each one was fatal.

There's just some movement involved. One swing of a fist would kill someone. It is the art of violence itself.

Ethan has come to the conclusion after more than ten years of battle that this is the most effective method.

Now the wolves are warriors and are the most powerful force he has to protect Greencliff.

Ethan looked at them and nodded.

He knew that wolves were not talented in this area, but their attitude, hard work, and perseverance were their best talents.

There is no prize in this world that can defeat perseverance.

"Good!" shout Ethan. "I will lead you all to kill to the top of the world. From now on!"

Chapter 709

Greencliff has moved.

Brother Geoff and the others quietly walked towards Bridgeport to meet with Number 5 and his men.

On the other hand, the Palmer Group also began to take action.

Palmer Group has made a lot of efforts in their promotional campaigns, and there are many people who are secretly helping him.

Of course, Diane could see it and she knew that this was done by her competitors. In fact, there are many rivals involved. Some of them are clear and some of them are hidden from view.

But none of this matters.

Since the Palmer Group wants to expand, it will definitely run into obstacles. If they don't overcome these barriers, then how can they grow?

The new product has gone through rigorous internal testing and the Palmer Group has received orders in bulk. So the plant is now working at its peak to produce as much as possible.

"Update the total amount of production every day," orders Diane. "Let consumers know, and let people know who want to know how many products Palmer Group has prepared."

He looks very calm.

In front of Ethan, she is a shy little girl. But at work, she is now a confident corporate goddess!

Palmer Group can be transparent about their production process and even go live online. Everyone can see how clean their factories are and how well-trained and diligent their workers are. It makes them more excited for new products.

This sends a signal that the Palmer Group is determined to go north!

The news reached north.

In the office on the highest floor of Long Group.

Angelica had been standing in front of the giant window wall for an hour now.

He was like a statue and did not move. No one dared to enter to disturb him either.

He did not have an energetic expression on his face, nor did he have the usual aloof and arrogant expression. He just had fatigue on his face.

The Palmer Group not only held back its attack, but they were now ready to fight back.

"Diane, did you do all this to tell me that you were coming?" Angelica's sharp eyebrows are slightly wrinkled. "Don't disappoint me."

Of course he knew that Diane wasn't the only one who came. There's Ethan too.

He may be able to stop Diane, but no one can stop Ethan because he is Ethan!

Angelica took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to calm herself down.

She was really jealous of Diane.

He's getting jealous of her.

He doesn't understand why Ethan likes him so much. He was even willing to become enemies with others for his sake.

When they were kids, Ethan had protected her like this as well. But the lucky girl has become Diane, and Angelica feels angry about it.

Angelica flinches back to the real world when her phone starts ringing.

"Speak," Angelica became cold again as she picked up the phone. His voice was ice-cold and heartless.

"The Brewer family and the Fowler family have sent word that they will block and kill the Palmer Group in the last two gantries and ensure they go bankrupt."

The other party also carried a cold voice and hung up the phone immediately after saying those words.

"Have begun?"

Angelica's gaze slowly became sharp, as if it was a knife.

The Brewers and the Fowlers are first-rate families and have control of two of the most important gantries in the north. If the Palmer Group wants to enter the northern market, they will have to pass through these gantries.

The other three were not so strong and were easier to pass. But the two that are in the control of the Brewer family and the Fowler family are not so easy to get through.

Especially now that Palmer Group is a rival to Long Group.

Both the Brewer family and the Fowler family have many family members in the Long Group. They have put them there both for their own benefit and to take the family to the next level. They treated the Long Group as a tool for themselves, but who wouldn't?

Angelica looked even more tired and helpless when she thought about this.

He was already too tired to actually pilot this huge ship. He had no intention of turning back, but just changing the direction a little was already extremely difficult.

That was because the number of people and the amount of benefits involved were too many. Long Group is now a very complex and messy place. It's no longer a gift that Angelica wants to prepare for Ethan anymore.

It was now a tool that powerful families used to exchange more money and resources for themselves.

He was suddenly overwhelmed by fatigue.

Angelica sighed. "If you're by my side, then I don't have to fear anything."

"I have to get you back."

Sometimes he doesn't know why he wants to get Ethan back by his side. He didn't know if it was because of him as a person, or because of something else.

Meanwhile, the,

The five gantries to the north are the towns of Bridgeport, Valdale, Bolder Gate, Pinemore and North Hampton. These five gantries were the cities that all land, air and sea trade routes had to travel through.

Every company from outside the north had to go through these places to enter the northern market.

All their supplies and goods must go through these five gantries and be inspected and approved.

Otherwise, their goods might not even reach the north itself, let alone be sold in the north.

Owen was making his final preparations at Bridgeport.

He knew that the corporate world was like a battlefield. The north was a special battlefield, and the more he understood it, the more terrifying it was.

Chapter 710

"Valdale is fine, we should be able to defeat him with our abilities. We should have no problems in either legal or illegal circles. But the Bolder Gate was a bit troublesome," Owen put a stern expression on his face as he pointed to the map. "The law is very strict, and..very greedy!"

He did not dare to think of the last two gantries, Pinemore and North Hampton, for now. Just the Bolder Gate is already quite dizzying.

"Why?" Number 5 asked with a frown.

If it was an illegal circle that got Owen in trouble, Number 5 would help him solve it immediately. But they did not dare to do anything against the circle of laws. Without Ethan's orders, they must respect the rules of another circle.

"They want 70%!" said Owen angrily with gritted teeth. "They say that as long as the Palmer Group products go through it, we have to give them 70% of our profits!"

"Fucking asshole!" Number 5 cursed when he heard this.

70%!

They did nothing and the Palmer Group bore the cost of production. All they do is let things pass and they want 70% of the profits?

"Do you think the sentiment about investing that avoids Bolder Gate is just a joke?" Owen shook his head and sighed. "Without great strength and a strong standing in the circle of laws, this gantry would be very difficult to overcome. The latter two, Pinemore and North Hampton, are controlled harshly by legal and illegal circles."

He felt a strong sense of helplessness for the first time.

Ethan has given him a lot of help and even let Number 5 and his men help him along the way. Who else in the Palmer Group was given such special treatment?

But he can't take down this gantry, and he has let down the trust Ethan has in him.

The Palmer Group produces a large number of their new products and they will soon be shipped from Greencliff to the north. But now the gantries are not open to them, and they will be stuck at a key stage entering the north.

"It's not your fault, it's beyond your means." Number 5 could tell what Owen was thinking and comfort him, "The Big Boss won't blame you."

"Brother Ethan is a good man and treats everyone well. He may not blame me, but I can't forgive myself." Owen took a deep breath. "I'll try again. I've made an appointment with someone in charge and I'll see if there's a chance later."

Number 5 nodded. After living with Owen all this time, he knew that Owen was an all-out person.

But Number 5 has also been following Ethan for some time now. He has seen a lot and knows that there are some people and some things that cannot be solved just because you follow all the rules.

Especially at the time Palmer Group was a rival of Long Group. What kind of existence is the Long Group in the north?

They are the largest company in the north!

The power and profits that this company contained were extremely chaotic, and perhaps even the boss of the group could not say for sure what kind of company this was.

This large conglomeration had all sorts of people hiding within it. They all had their own ulterior motives and were fighting to protect their own interests, so it would not be easy to deal with them.

Even Angelica may experience headaches because of this.

"I'll go with you" said Number 5. "Just to check things out."

They made some preparations and left.

The illegal circle of the Bolder Gate is not much different from Bridgeport, but their legal circle is quite strong.

The main controllers of government agencies come from six powerful families. They intertwined with each other to form a huge net. Any company that wants to get through this web has to leave something behind, otherwise, they can forget about getting through the web.

The worst part is that these six families seem to be quite united. On the surface, they did not seem to be fighting with each other.

Everyone's goals are the same and they divide everything equally. Everyone took one mouthful each and it was enough to fill their stomachs, so there was no need to fight.

Owen had tried for days and used everything he had to finally contact one of them. All the high and mighty representatives of the six powerful families did not want to see him at all.

Owen was only a regional manager of the Palmer Group, so they didn't appreciate it unless he could offer them something.

Owen and Number 5 waited outside the office for an hour before the door opened for them.

They walked in and there was no one else other than the man of considerable size. There was a gentle smile on his face as he sat at his desk, and he was clearly not busy with anything.

There was a tea pulp in the trash bin that had obviously just been thrown away a while ago and was still steaming.

This person obviously prefers to make tea casually before taking care of decent work matters. He's really overreacting!
