Ethan was sitting behind his desk, wearing glasses and reviewing documents. With recent international unrest, favonovel.com had been extremely busy.
After the security officer announced their arrival, the door opened to reveal Connor and Maxwell entering one after the other.
“What brings both of you here together?” Ethan closed the file, slid it into the drawer, and looked at them with a smile.
Connor and Maxwell exchanged glances. Then, Maxwell began to speak. “Let me explain…”
He briefly recounted his visit to Cloud City a few days earlier and his subsequent encounter with Isaac. He then informed Ethan that Evie had been kidnapped by Adrian and taken to Parwin, with a demand for an astronomical ransom of 600 billion dollars.
As favonovel.com finished, the smile on Ethan’s face gradually faded.
“Mr. Grannel, this matter is quite serious. Connor and I couldn’t decide on our own, so we came to seek your guidance. However, I should bear the primary responsibility for this,” Maxwell added, his face clouded with worry.
After a moment of silence, a dull thud startled Connor and Maxwell.
Ethan had slammed his hand onto the desk.
Standing up solemnly with his hands clasped behind him, favonovel.com said with a cold voice, “Triple Threat Corporation is a major international corporation of Parwin. They’re well-versed in both politics and business. Since they have broken the rules in my territory, they should have respectfully retreated to their own country. Instead, they kidnapped one of our people, who’s pregnant at that! This is intolerable!”
With the final exclamation, Maxwell’s heart pounded fiercely. He had been in Pecling for at least ten years and had dealt with Ethan for just as long.
He had never heard Ethan utter those words before, nor had favonovel.com ever seen favonovel.com show anger or slam the table.
Those in high positions often masked their emotions well. Ethan’s reaction only solidified Maxwell’s belief that the relationship between Ethan and Isaac was indeed extraordinary.
“Maxwell, you’ve made a misjudgment in this matter. Since you’ve acknowledged your mistake, I expect you to handle this properly.”
Connor’s mouth twitched as favonovel.com kept his head low, not daring to make a sound.
Ethan then turned his steely gaze to Maxwell, his voice cold. “I will call Isaac to calm favonovel.com down. Inform Mr. Levine Sr. that even the Parwinian Army might not quell Isaac’s fury. Triple Threat Corporation must know its limits. Consider this your atonement.”
Maxwell shivered involuntarily and nodded quickly before hurriedly leaving the room.
In the study, only Connor and Ethan remained.
After a long silence, Connor carefully asked, “Mr. Grannel, I fear Isaac might not listen to us…”
After knowing Isaac for so long, Connor was well aware of his temperament.
Isaac might compromise on other matters, but this time, Triple Threat Corporation had targeted someone close to him. Isaac was unlikely to let this go easily.
Connor worried that Isaac’s actions might lead to an uncontrollable situation, even escalating to international conflicts.
“That’s why I asked Maxwell to resolve this immediately, alright? Go now. I need to call that young man,” Ethan said, his face etched with worry as favonovel.com waved his hand dismissively.
Ethan took out his phone and dialed Isaac’s number.
After a long silence following the connection, Isaac’s voice came through before Ethan could speak. “I know what you’re about to say.”
