While the Gonzales family schemed, the members of the North Hampton Chamber of Commerce were also busy
making plans of their own.
After all, Morris Group was finally becoming 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 plan 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 them come up
with an idea.
“Morris Group has been developing at a rapid pace recently. A lot of companies 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!”

before they come 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 will come 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, Wallace rebutted, “It’s not that hard. Have you forgotten how we used to buy over the other
companies?”
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 time comes. 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 blacklisted 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.

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.
In the end, they finally managed to locate a reliable killer who hailed from South City.
Presently, they were lounging on a luxuriously large 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 to come. Of course, they still had to pay for his services.
