Ethan Hunt: Billionaire God of War
Chapter 711 - 715

Chapter 711

"Director Hutchins," Owen was angry inside but did not show it on his face. "I'm the northern regional manager for the Palmer Group, Owen. I contacted you earlier, this is my assistant."

He pointed to Number 5 beside him.

Luis Hutchins just nodded and did not even look up. "Oh that's you. What's up?"

Owen smiled and said, "Director Hutchins, it's about the Palmer Group's stuff. Letters of approval ..."

"It's not an easy matter to resolve," Luis Huchins shook his head and waved his hand before Owen could finish his sentence. “The approval of goods must go through the process, and currently, the procedure to enter the market is very strict. Mr. Foss, you're an expert in the industry, so I'm sure you know better than me how strict it is. It's not possible."

Owen was angry inside. What does he mean by that is impossible?

Any region and any city can solve this. Even if it was done by a book, it was only in a matter of days.

And usually, if a large company enters the market, documents are usually processed faster. Why can't they process Palmer Group documents here?

"Director Hutchins, I know the processes and procedures required. But now I can't find the right person" Owen sounds like he's in a difficult position. "A lot of documents need to be signed but all the authorized signers are not there, so the document was left for too long and we can't let it continue to be dragged like this."

Luis laughed and got up from his chair.

He walked up to Owen and narrowed his eyes into a strange smile. "Mr Foss, are you trying to say that we have been careless in our work?"

"That's not what I meant."

"Look at the work we have. Do you know how many things we have to deal with every day? For you, it's just a matter of signing the letter. But you're just one company. Do you know how many companies we have to look at? on?"

"Even if your company can complete all the procedures, I still have more people to go through on my part. You all have to be in line like everyone else. We don't give privileges to anyone here, and everything is done by the book."

Luis shook his head and looked displeased. "Since you say that you know all the procedures well, then finish everything else first. After you finish the others, it will eventually reach this place. Without proper paperwork, I'm sorry but I can't do anything for you."

"Director Hutchins ..."

"I still have a lot of work to do, please leave," Luis said with a cold expression on his face before Owen could say again.

Owen cursed in his heart. If he now agreed to give them 70% of the profits, he was pretty sure that this process would be completed in an hour or so.

This leech!

Let alone 70%. They don't even have the right to ask for 10%.

This is within the scope of their work, but they keep dragging their feet on it, so many companies have no choice but to give in to their demands.

With so much profit lost, how many companies can survive?

Many of them could only calmly pack their bags and leave the northern market. So the huge northern market is still controlled by a powerful family.

Everyone knows about this, but there is nothing they can do. Either they live with it, or they're out.

Owen left in a huff, and Luis only scoffed. He returned to his office chair and snorted in disgust. "Palmer Group? In the past, 70% of the profits were enough. But right now, there are too many people who won't let you in."

"Again, they don't seem to know how to behave at all. They could slowly wait for the documents, as long as they were able to wait."

Luis is just the public face of the Bolder Gate to meet all these people. But if they can't even get past Luis, there's no way they can get past the others.

Owen came to his office without bringing anything and even dared to talk to him like that.

What to negotiate?

There is no room for negotiation at all!

Luis leaned back in his chair. He narrowed his eyes and calmly said, "If you don't know how to behave in the corporate world, then you won't last long, hohoho."

Chapter 712

Luis closed his eyes and waited for Owen to be enlightened.

To him, all of these people would eventually learn how to behave. Humans have to go through some hardships to become adults.

Owen's face was pale with anger as he walked out of Luis' office.

Luis this is really terrible!

He is just a director and works for others as well. But he is so arrogant!

"Now I suddenly discovered that you have a very good temperament," said Number 5 with clenched teeth. "I almost killed him at that place!"

He's never seen anyone like that. Luis is not just arrogant. He also just did whatever he wanted and was a disgrace to the office he held.

"These people are indeed like that, and are very bad at the Bolder Gate," Owen shook his head. "However, you cannot find any problems or evidence against them. They just need to find a bad reason and they can force you to comply with their demands. What can you do about that?"

Owen was also angry, but there was nothing he could do.

Luis and the six powerful families behind him who control the Bolder Gate use this kind of despicable tactic to get 70% profit from the Palmer Group.

That was the reason why the Bolder Gate could not advance as a city. The northern region was almost all like this as all the roads to the city had been blocked by all these powerful families. They don't want any rivals who can step in and threaten their positions.

"Don't worry, we'll wait for Big Boss to come" Number 5 said. "Once Big Boss is here, everything will be in order."

Owen had no choice but to call Ethan. To his surprise, Ethan is already on his way.

He seemed to already know that something was going to happen and Owen would run out of ideas by now. He'll come when Owen needs him most.

By late afternoon, Ethan had arrived. Only Brother Geoff was with him, but Number 5 knew that all his brothers were also coming along.

"Son Ethan, I'm really sorry." Owen was so ashamed of himself. He feels he has let down the hope Ethan has in him.

Out of the five gantries, he had only dropped two of them. And Ethan has been helping him secretly with Bridgeport as well.

"You've done a good job" Ethan smiled and praised Owen. "You know, there's a lot of other people who haven't been able to get through one. Even those who succeed have to pay a very high price."

Owen nodded.

It was a daylight robbery!

He would never agree to such a requirement.

"Don't worry, these little things don't matter to the Palmer Group at all" Ethan said. "All you need to do is broaden your horizons. This small market in the north is not your world."

These few sentences were enough to make Owen feel his blood rushing all over his body.

Ethan does not blame her and even encourages her. He was even willing to give Owen a chance to continue to mature and develop!

"I told you before that I want all the adults together with the Palmer Group" Ethan patted Owen on the shoulder. "What level the Palmer Group can achieve in the future doesn't just depend on Diane and myself. That will depend on every one of you working for the Palmer Group. No one is lacking. Understood?"

"I understand!" Owen felt like crying. "Brother Ethan, I won't let you down!"

Ethan nodded. "All right now, calm yourself down. Time to start working."

"Owen, prepare. Diane's side is almost finished and the goods will be delivered soon. Prepare to receive the goods and prepare for the next step." Ethan walked to the door. "I'll finish the rest."

Ethan then leaves with Brother Geoff.

Owen took a deep breath and turned to Number 5. His voice trembled, "For a moment there, I really want to give my life to Brother Ethan!"

Number 5 laughs. He can empathize with her. "I really understand you."

"Let's work!"

Both sort themselves out and get busy. Meanwhile, Ethan and Brother Geoff go looking for Luis again.

Luis was sitting on the sofa right now and casually making his tea. The documents on his office desk had already piled up as high as a mountain.

It's more interesting to make tea than through all this complicated stuff.

"I want to know who's gonna be looking for me next. I hope he's someone who knows how to behave."

Luis was pouring tea for himself when someone suddenly kicked the door open.

Chapter 713

This loud explosion shocked Luis Hutchins so much that he shouted loudly and shook the teacup in his hand. Boiling water spilled into his own hands and he screamed loudly in pain like he was a slaughtered pig.

"AHH!!!" He jumped up and quickly picked up some tissue to wipe his hand. He looked up to see a stranger enter. He became angry.

"Who are you?!" Luis was furious. This guy walks into his office without knocking! How dare!

And now his hand was splashed with hot water and the pain made his face instantly redden.

Ethan glances at Luis' flabby face and distended stomach and knows this isn't a good guy. Which hard worker would look like this?

This person must have looked like this because of leeches on others!

He walked over and looked at Luis. "You're responsible for approving items that enter through the Bolder Gate?"

"Who do you think you are?!" Luis was furious. "How dare you talk to me like that!"

"Who do you think you are? How dare you barge into my office like that! Do you know who I am?!" he roared furiously. "Exit now! Otherwise, forget about going into my office again! You want me to approve your stuff? Dream on.AHHH!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Ethan slapped him in the face and made Luis fly onto the sofa. He clutched his face and howled in pain.

"I didn't ask you this." Ethan steps forward and grabs Luis' collar. His gaze was ice cold. "I asked, are you the one responsible for approving the items that go into the Bolder Gate? You just have to say yes or no!"

Luis's face paled in fear but one side was red from the slap. He opened his mouth to speak, "Y-yes.this is me."

"good. Get the form here, I want to start the approval process."

"You .. who you are and why I should give you ..."

Ethan slaps him again and now the other side of Luis' face is also red. "Because it's your job!"

Ethan had no expression on his face. "Take the form here."

Luis felt his soul was about to leave his body. He had never met someone so aggressive before.

When someone else comes to him to ask for a form, they will get nothing if they do not ask for it or give him a little or two gifts. Luis will refuse until they show their sincerity. But not only did this man dare to barge in directly, he even dared to hit him!

Who in Bolder Gate is acting like this?!

"I ... don't have a form!" Luis was both frightened and angry. "Without permission from the others, I can't give it to you! You actually dared to hit me, so you were devastated! You ... UHHH!"

Ethan cuts Luis with another slap. This slap was even heavier than the last, and made some of Luis' teeth fly out.

Luis screamed and fell to the floor. He stared at Ethan with terror written all over his face.

Who ... who is this guy?!

"I'll just sit here and wait. Tell whoever's responsible for bringing the form here," Ethan looked at Luis. "If I can't get the approval document today, then you can forget about stepping out of this door. No one can save you now."

Luis gulped and his whole body trembled. Ethan's gaze was like the gaze of a beast. Luis felt Ethan might gobble it up the next moment.

His whole body was shivering and his teeth were grinding. He did not even dare to stand up.

"You... are you trying to challenge the six powerful families that control the Bolder Gate?!"

Ethan narrowed his eyes and his voice became even colder now. "It's so thick."

Ethan's smiling face looked even scarier than the devil to Luis.

He wants to challenge the six powerful families that control the Bolder Gate?

That's totally crazy!

"Who do you think you are?!" Luis roared and laughed coldly. "You're going to die so badly that no one can find your body!"

Ethan can't be bothered with his bullshit. "You can drag this. I know you guys are very good at dragging out the process. No problem, you can drag it as long as you can withstand my slap."

……

Ethan slapped him several times in a row. Luis started screaming for help and crying for his mother.

But the soundproofing of his office is great. For the first time, he regretted making the silencer so good as to finish some things under the table. So even if his voice became hoarse from shouting, no one could hear him.

And so what if they can hear it?

He had said before that no one could enter his office without his permission!

Chapter 714

Luis was lying on the floor. His face was swollen and his nose was black and blue. Her tears and mucus covered her face as she could barely scream, "Let go of me, please!"

He did not dare to argue anymore.

This person in front of him was clearly insane!

He actually dared to slap her to death!

"Form." Ethan still said the same thing while slowly raising his hand again. Luis was so scared that he jumped off the floor and ran to his desk. He pulls out a form and quickly hands it to Ethan.

"Fuck!" Ethan glared at Luis. She felt like crying but she still took the pen.

He swallowed. "What...what's your company name?"

"Group Palmer" Ethan answered clearly.

Luis' body shook. The hand holding the pen instantly froze.

Palmer Group?

This guy from the Palmer Group?

They are too arrogant now!

A company from outside this area actually dared to barge into his office and beat him, even forcing him to take care of the documents of their belongings.

He doesn't want to write anything!

In addition, the people above it simply do not want Palmer Group products to pass through this gantry.

If he agrees to Ethan, then he'll be ruined.

Luis made a decision. Even if Ethan beats him, he can't fill out this form for Ethan.

"WRITE!" Ethan suddenly let out a thunderous roar in Luis' ear.

It reverberated in his head and completely dissolved the decision he had just made as well as the courage he had before. He continued to tremble and did not dare to hesitate anymore. He picks up a pen and starts filling out forms for Ethan.

"Stop your hands from shaking! If you write something wrong, I'll break your hand!" ethan says.

Luis felt these two minutes were the longest two minutes of his life. It passed so slowly, it felt like several years had passed.

He obediently filled out all the information the form needed and branded the field for his department, then placed the form neatly in front of Ethan. His face was pale and he did not dare to say a word.

"The approval process for the incoming product actually requires six people to sign?" Ethan frowned. He could see that Luis' stamp was only his first, and there were five more areas that needed someone else's stamp.

As long as it was incomplete, this was a useless piece of paper.

"This form requires several departments to be unanimously approved from the start, and I'm just one of the departments."

Luis swallowed with difficulty.

Six powerful families each control one department. Anyone who wants to enter the north must go through this process regardless of who they are. It's not easy to get in.

"Who should step on here?" Ethan points to one of the empty spaces in the form.

"This ... that's Todd Brewer."

"Have him bring the stamps here" Ethan said calmly.

Luis felt his throat filled with sand.

What is Ethan trying to do?

He wants everyone to come here and stamp the form for him?

Is he crazy?"

It's hard enough to see them, but now he wants them to come all the way here just to approve Palmer Group products and let them into Bolder Gate?

He must be crazy!

"Is there a problem?" Ethan looked at Luis.

"They .. they're very busy ..."

"I'm even busier" Ethan waved his hand and didn't want to hear Luis spewing nonsense. Does he think that Ethan doesn't know if those idiots are really busy or not? "Tell them to come here and stamp this form for me, it will save me from the trouble of looking for them personally."

"Also, if you don't solve this problem properly, you can forget about getting out of this office!"

Luis did not dare to argue anymore.

Tears streamed down his cheeks as he walked to his desk to call out the other five.

"Come to my office with your official ink stamp, that's a very important matter."

He did not dare to tell them that a terrifying monster was sitting in front of him.

If they did not dare to come as a result, he could forget to get out of this office.

"We have a big business coming up? The other party has approved 70% of the profits?" the first person he called sounded rather excited. "If they haven't agreed, I'm too lazy to go."

They wanted 70% because each of the six families would take 10% each, and the last 10% went to subordinates.

When his master ate meat, the servants who did the job would naturally drink soup.

"You'll know when you get here" Luis simply explained. After he finished making all five phone calls, he stood in front of Ethan and did not dare to make the slightest sound.

In a short time, his office door was open. A middle-aged man in a suit, leather shoes, and glasses walked in.

As he entered, he saw Luis standing in one corner like a piece of wood, and Ethan sitting on the sofa and staring at himself.

Chapter 715

"You're Todd Brewer?"

"That's right," Todd Brewer frowned. He could feel something was wrong with this atmosphere. "Who are you?"

He glanced at Luis, but Luis said nothing. There was no expression on his face, as if his soul had flown out of his body.

"If you are the right person. Stamp this form for me," Ethan nodded and pointed at the form on the table. He could not be bothered to explain too much.

Todd Brewer snorted and pushed his glasses up. His face was filled with contempt and he sneered.

"You want me to stamp this form, so I have to stamp it?" He walks over to Ethan and suddenly laughs coldly. "Are you not so arrogant now?"

Who in the Bolder Gate would dare to talk to him like this?

This man needed help from her but bravely told her to go around.

Todd's glasses suddenly came off. He shouted loudly and his head turned.

"You ... You dare hit me!" Todd doesn't even care about his glasses. "I…"

Ethan didn't let it finish. He sent a kick towards Todd's knee and Todd immediately fell to his knees.

"Even if you were a god, I would still beat you up" Ethan said calmly. "Since you don't want to stand up and do this, then you can stamp the form on your knee."

He held this position but refused to do his job. Ethan doesn't have much patience.

He didn't care if Todd was someone from a strong family. Even if he was a god, Ethan would dare to break his legs!

Before Todd could say anything, Luis obediently knelt down and whispered to Todd, "If you don't want to die, listen to him!"

Can't Todd see how his own face is swollen like a pig?!

Todd clenched his teeth. He was greatly humiliated but he did not dare to say anything threatening now.

Ethan was so impressive that his face paled in fear. He had no choice but to listen to Ethan and obediently stick his stamp on the form after filling out all the necessary details.

Right after he finished writing, someone opened the office door again …

The person who entered saw Luis and Todd kneeling on the floor. His expression changed but before he could react, the door closed behind him.

He doesn't know what's going on. He looked vigilantly at Ethan sitting on the sofa.

Who was the big blow that could make Todd and Luis kneel on the floor?

"Come here and sign the form," Ethan didn't even bother asking who he was. "Kneel down and fill up!"

After a while, there were some muffled sounds coming out from inside the office. A few faint cries rang out, then everything returned to normal.

Brother Geoff is standing outside the door. His stern and heartless expression made everyone passing by keep their distance.

He gave a quick count. Everyone should have arrived.

After a while, the door opened and Ethan rolled up the consent form and said, "Let's go."

The whole process is completed and completed in a short time. Everything took less than half an hour, and it was probably the fastest approval given.

So many people had to go back and forth for months to try to persuade these people to approve their papers and eventually give in to their demands. But Ethan got it easy.

He didn't even bother trying to convince them by setting a good example.

That's because trying to negotiate with people like Luis and others is not the example they need.

Inside the office.

Luis and five other men were still kneeling on the floor. It was not that they did not dare to wake up. They can't wake up.

Ethan kicks their knees and their lower body goes numb and feels like a cripple. They were all pale in the face and did not even have the energy to cry or scream.

After a long time, the feeling finally returned to their feet and they all stood up. They all collapsed on the sofa and the fear on their faces turned into anger and murder.

"Luis!" Todd clutched Luis' collar. "You really tried to kill us all!"

Luis thrashed and looked back ferociously, "I'm a victim too!"

"Who is that? How dare he offend all of us from those six powerful families at once? What is he trying to do?!"

All six of them were furious. They had spent many years in Bolder Gate and they had never been humiliated like this.

Even those multinationals had to give up on them and come up with sincerity to get through them, and did not even dare to speak too loudly. But now they had been beaten and even had to kneel on the floor and be forced to give their stamp of approval!

It doesn't just insult them. This was an insult to the six powerful families who supported them.

Five other men glared at Luis. Luis is the one who called them, so they hope to choke him to death now.

"Palmer Group!" luis said with clenched teeth. "He's from the Palmer Group!"
