Chapter 336


    While the Gonzales family schemed, the members of the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce were


    also busy making ns of their own.


    After all, Morris Group was finally bing a threat that they could no longer ignore. Things were


    getting out of their control, and they were running out of ideas for what to do.


    The only n they had was to somehow find a way to associate themselves with the God of War and


    Commander-in-Chief Covington.


    That was why they had invited Grover Cooke over tonight. They hoped that he would be able to help


    theme up with an idea.


    “Morris Group has been developing at a rapid pace recently. A lot ofpanies are offering them all


    sorts of preferential treatment! I guess since it’s helping the economy of North Hampton, that’s a good


    thing,” Grover mused.


    “But at this rate, they’ll soon be taking over our market, which leaves us in a very precarious situation!”


    “They’re so ambitious that they’re even going after the Gonzales family businesses! It’s only a matter of


    time before theye after us next.”


    Eric and the others fretted.


    “Do you have any ideas, Mr. Cooke?” Clifford asked.


    The man in question shook his head helplessly. “Nothing much wille of working from the shadows.


    You have seen for yourselves their ability to resolve all problems thrown their way.” He paused before


    suggesting, “Maybe you should try forcefully buying over Morris Group?”


    “That might just work!” Eric and the other men’s eyes gleamed viciously.


    Baldwin seemed doubtful as he stated, “I don’t think it’s going to be that easy. I’ve heard about how


    mysterious the boss of Morris Group is. Nobody knows who he or she is.”


    Shaking his head, Wace rebutted, “It’s not that hard. Have you forgotten how we used to buy over


    the otherpanies?”


    The men exchanged sly looks.


    “Alright then, you guys should probably focus on preparing for the ceremony. I’ll have Jesse introduce


    you to the God of War and Commander-in-Chief Covington when the timees. With those two


    supporting you, you’ll still be fine even if you dance a little too close to the illegal side of things,” Grover


    finished with a smile.


    “Thank you so much, Mr. Cooke! The North Hampton Chamber of Commerce shall forever be grateful


    to you!” the men fervently expressed.


    After the incident at the hospital, Morris Group had been flourishing at a quick pace.


    The celebrities endorsing their products were also reaping the benefits of this with a huge upsurge of


    advertisement invitations.


    By contrast, business for Everest Entertainment had been getting increasingly worse. It was only a


    matter of time before they went bankrupt.


    Lil Lacey and her manager, Amelia, had it even worse. They had been cklisted by the entire industry


    and had not been able to find a single way around the ban.


    Their only options left were to either leave the country or change professions.


    But there was no way they would just let this go. To them, this was all Levi Garrison’s fault. He had


    destroyed everything of theirs, and he had to pay!


    He had to die!


    They had been searching for an assassin to hire for several days now. Strangely enough, the


    underworld of North Hampton had been incredibly quiet, and they failed to find anyone.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    In the end, they finally managed to locate a reliable killer who hailed from South City.


    Presently, they were lounging on a luxuriouslyrge bed in a five-star hotel. Both were stark naked as


    they cuddled against a man with a devil tattooed on his chest.


    He was Quentin Lane, an underground boxer who they had only been able to hire through some


    connections.


    Notorious in the illegal fighting rings for being ruthless, he had once killed forty-eight men in a single


    year.


    Currently ranked number five in underground boxing, he was nicknamed ‘Devil’.


    Other than boxing, he was also known for taking on contract jobs like killing or maiming someone.


    Whatever his mission was, he had never once failed.


    Most people would not have been able to hire him. It was only because Lil Lacey and Amelia were


    willing to sleep with him that he had agreed toe. Of course, they still had to pay for his services.
