"The Palmer Group had nothing to do with the Hayson family" Hayson said as he glanced at the others in the office. "I just follow my family's orders and I don't care about anything you guys say or whether something embarrassing has happened or not."
He scoffed and refused to speak after that.
The rest did not believe him and only felt that Hayson was just trying to find an excuse for himself. Everyone knows that Tescon has earned so much money thanks to experts at companies like Charley.
Now that Charley was taken away, something bad must have happened to Tescon. Hayson says it doesn't matter, but there's no way to hide this kind of thing for long.
But they're not interested in doing anything to the Haysons right now.
They were more interested in the experts that the Palmer Group had seized from Silicon Valley as well as the Palmer Group itself.
They will take these people by force!
These power factions are best at plundering, and try their best to get more resources for themselves.
They used the incredible wealth they had as well as the highly skilled fighters to get whatever they wanted. It's been like this for the last century.
And now, everything is still the same.
They no longer cared about Hayson and treated him like air. They even started making plans in front of Hayson on how they would get what they wanted from the Palmer Group.
Hayson sat in the corner quietly and did not have much expression on his face, and looked like he was in a bad mood.
But he laughed at them coldly in his heart.
"I wish you guys could be a little more greedy. I don't dare provoke Ethan, but I can send you all to him!"
……
It's past midnight at Greencliff.
Ethan's still awake.
"Minstrel Mount is well established. Evan had matured very quickly, and all the loner clans were just resting to recuperate." Winston exhaled a mouthful of smoke. "They know that even if they get a manual page, they are too weak to get anything. Besides, the Drake clan is in charge and you're the one supporting them."
"Smart people will make smart decisions. I thought you could merge them into the Extreme Martial Arts Academy."
Winston's eyes shone brightly as they shone in the dim light of night.
"It's not time yet" said Ethan. "We are in the best position now. The loner clan had yet to completely override their pride, so this was not the time."
"But things are completely different in the Third World now." Winston frowned slightly. "I just got word that someone is taking action, and I'm afraid it's Krishan. He might have discovered the power of the Third World and tried to use it to his advantage."
There was still no clue as to where the last two pages of the manual were located.
But everyone around Ethan is still working on it.
The Palmer Group uses their business expansion to increase their influence and information channels, and Butler Zed also manages its large information network.
Professor Aronax also continued his research with almost no food and no sleep, while Evan led eight reclusive clans in consolidating all the information they held.
All of this is done in hopes of uncovering the secrets that lie behind the manual page. Once he gets the last two pages, Ethan is sure everything will be revealed!
"We're just going to watch and wait" Ethan said. "I intend to hand over the eight reclusive clans to Evan to control. It's a long-term plan as well as a good test for him."
He couldn't possibly be with Evan the entire time, just like how Mr. Eraqus couldn't stand behind him the entire time anymore.
Ethan reached out and Winston hesitated as he looked up.
"Are you sure you can smoke?"
Ethan slaps Winston on the shoulder and his gaze sharpens. "I didn't ask for a cigarette!"
