Chapter 147 Razed to the Ground
Frank stopped asking questions and drove straight to CloudPharma's headquarters. When they arrived, CloudPharma had already closed for the day, and the entire building was pitch black.
Fank asked, "Larry, it's almost 10 PM. There's no one here. How about we come back tomorrow?"
Larry replied, "Let's head to CloudPharma's factory instead then."
"Alright." Frank turned the car around and headed to CloudPharma's factory.
CloudPharma's factory was in the suburbs, a bit of a drive from their current location.
As they were heading to the factory, Grim also gave an order, summoning a thousand of his subordinates and three hundred excavators. They all headed toward CloudPharma's factory in a grand procession.
Grim's other identity was Matthew Rogers, the miracle doctor of Sunset City. He controlled the underground intelligence network, so he knew everything about CloudPharma.
CloudPharma had many shareholders, including some high-ranking officials. But the real mastermind behind it was the Prosperity Business Alliance.
The Prosperity Business Alliance was a nationwide business association that boasted many tycoons among its ranks. Even some of the big families in Aurora Citadel were part of this association.
This association wasn't well-known in Sunset City, but it was famous in many other cities. If it weren't for Larry, Grim would never have had any conflict with CloudPharma.
Since it was Larry asking, Grim did not hesistate to help. Offending Larry who was truly at the top of the power pyramid would only result in destruction, no matter how powerful this business association was. However, he didn't show up in person because of his special identity.
Soon, three hundred excavators and a thousand men appeared outside CloudPharma's factory. This was a large factory with over ten thousand employees.
At this moment, the factory stuff were working overtime. The security guards at the gate trembled in fear when they saw the three hundred excavators and a thousand men.
"Calling all units, we have a situation. Security, immediate support needed." The factory's security guards received the notification instantly and quickly gathered at the main gate.
But upon seeing the three hundred excavators and a thousand men, the three hundred security guards were intimidated and didn't dare to step outside. The excavators didn't make any rash moves either.
The factory manager quickly made a phone call to report the situation.
Edward was at a club, having sex with a young model when the phone rang. Seeing it was the factory manager calling, he answered impatiently, "Why are you calling me so late at night?"
"Edward, something terrible has happened. There are three hundred excavators and over a thousand people outside the factory. It looks like they want to level CloudPharma to the ground."
"Everyone inside, disperse immediately. If anyone gets hurt, don't blame us." The loudspeaker's announcement could be heard over the phone.
Edward heard it and cursed, "I want to see who dares to cause trouble at my factory today."
He hung up and immediately made a call, "Lord, there's trouble at the factory. Get three thousand men to support immediately."
After calling Lord, he made another call, "Mr. Williams, there's trouble. Send a thousand SWAT officers to CloudPharma immediately."
After making two calls, he put on his clothes and left the club. He ran red lights all the way, heading to the factory.
When Larry and Frank arrived, it was already late, but they didn't show themselves and watched from the car.
Three hundred excavators and a thousand men intimidated all of CloudPharma's factory workers.
The factory manager, worried about trouble, immediately dismissed all the overtime workers. Soon, everyone in the factory fled.
"Start digging." At the front, Dominic Franklin, in black clothes and a black hat, gave the order from an excavator.
With the order, three hundred excavators started simultaneously, the noise deafening, like an earthquake, and the ground trembled.
At that moment, a car sped in, and a middle-aged fat man got out, standing in front of the excavators and shouting, "Let me see who dares!"
This was Lord Davis, one of the true bigfigures of Sunset City.
With Lord's arrival, three thousand men in black with iron rods appeared, surrounding the three hundred excavators and a thousand men.
Seeing Lord and his men arrive, Frank asked, "Larry, what now?"
Larry waved his hand slightly and said, "No rush, wait for Edward. He must have a death wish to dare to mess with Chloe and cause trouble at her factory."
At the factory gate, Lord looked at Dominic on the first excavator and said coldly, "Dominic, what do you mean by this? Don't you know I have shares in CloudPharma? I and Grim have no recent or past grudges. What are you trying to do?"
He recognized Dominic, Grim's trusted subordinate.
Dominic got off the excavator and said, "Lord, this is Grim's order. I'm just following orders. You'd better step aside and let me level this place. Then this matter will be over. Otherwise, you'll be responsible for the consequences."
"Are you threatening me?" Lord sneered, "I've never been threatened in my life."
"So what if I'm threatening you? Start digging, level this place."
"Who dares?!" Lord shouted.
"Who dares to move?" Thousands of men around them drew their weapons, took a few steps forward, and shouted menacingly. The words "Who dares to move" were deafening.
At this moment, Edward arrived. He came to Lord and called out, "Lord."
In the car, Frank pointed at Edward and asked, "Larry, is that Edward?"
"Should be. Let's get out." Larry opened the door and got out first.
Frank turned and glanced at Amelia in the back seat, who was eager to move, and scolded, "Stay in the car."
Amelia replied, "I don't even want to get out."
Frank also got out of the car.
At the factory gate, countless people were in a standoff. At this moment, Larry and Frank walked over.
"Lord," Larry called out.
Hearing the voice, Lord looked up. Seeing Larry, his legs instantly went weak, and he collapsed to the ground uncontrollably.
Larry walked over, ignoring Lord, and looked at Edward, saying coldly, "Are you the one causing trouble for Chloe?"
"Who are you?" Edward's face darkened. He didn't recognize Larry.
Larry said word by word, "I am Larry, and Chloe is my wife."
Edward laughed. "I thought it was someone important. Turns out it's the Lewis family's son-in-law. Yes, I'm the one causing trouble for Chloe."
Lord stood up and smacked Edward on the head. The hit was quite forceful. Edward was stunned and didn't react for a moment. Lord kicked him to the ground and started beating him up.
