Chapter 139: Chapter 139: The Bankruptcy of the Pei and Chi Families
Henry Thompson knelt placidly in front of Ethan Allen, looking at the latter as one would look at a dead dog.
"Ethan Allen, do you still hope to rise?"
The voice was cold to the bone, almost demonic.
Ethan Allen’s face was ashen, his appearance unsettling to the extreme.
On the other side, Mia Stewart leaned blankly against a pillar, her gaze unfocused. Ryan Richard remained unconscious, and the hatred in Emily Allen’s eyes seemed as if it could burn a hole through Charlotte Thompson.
Henry Thompson’s throat bobbed slightly, a subdued chuckle breaking free.
"Ethan Allen, there’s a retribution for good and evil. You should’ve realized long ago that Richard Corporation’s perfume won’t make it to the market, and the Allen family and Richard Family will go bankrupt at a speed you cannot imagine."
He stood up, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "This hunt like game..."
"Is over."
The moment Henry Thompson’s voice fell, there was complete silence around them, only the screeching noise of wind brushing against the windows remained.
Ethan Allen looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His eyes widened, his gaze fixated on Henry Thompson.
His lips moved a bit, and he started trembling uncontrollably.
"That’s impossible, you’re daydreaming."
The Allen family and Richard Family have been on the commercial stage for quite a while. Although they cannot match up to the Thompson family and the Battleson Family’s dominance, they still have some fame.
He could not believe that just because of the words of this refined man in front of him, the efforts of his past several years could all go up in smoke.
Thinking about this, Ethan Allen steadied himself a bit.
"Ha, who are you scaring, pretty boy!" Ethan Allen remained defiant.
But on the other side, Mia Stewart and Emily Allen weren’t as optimistic.
Emily Allen’s face suddenly went pale, she turned her head to look at Mia Stewart in horror, hearing her own voice shake.
"Mom... what this man is saying..."
Mia Stewart’s lips were marked with her own blood bite, she didn’t respond to Emily’s words and only stared at Henry Thompson.
The latter stood with one hand in his pocket, a careless pose but an undeniable powerful aura.
He wasn’t saying anything now, but it was as if he had said everything.
For some reason, Ethan Allen had an ominous feeling in his heart, like a sudden thud.
On the other side, Jordan Thompson frowned in impatience and simply took out his cell phone, his slender fingers sliding across the screen a few times.
A few seconds later, he stepped forward and shoved the phone screen in Ethan Allen’s face.
Ethan was startled, but his gaze naturally fell on the screen.
A news segment played on the screen, the hostess’s standard Mandarin echoed in the silent surroundings.
"According to the latest news, the Allen family and the Richard Family are being suppressed by unidentified forces. The perfume that Richard Corporation was supposed to launch has been unexpectedly cut off. Richard Corporation convened a board meeting this morning, but CEO Ryan Richard is unexpectedly missing. It seems that both the Allen family and the Richard family are facing the risk of bankruptcy..."
Ethan was staring blankly at the screen. His brain mechanically failed to react, as if something had exploded in his mind.
The blood drained from his face.
He began to struggle wildly, and for some unknown reason, he managed to break free from his restraints and crawled towards Henry Thompson.
Like a beggar, he latched onto Henry Thompson’s leg, his face covered in tears.
