Chapter 037 Unrestrained Words
As Phil spoke, everyone's attention immediately shifted to Ethan.
Tom furrowed his brows and said, "Phil, you must not be disrespectful in front of Miss Anderson!"
Phil sneered twice, coldly staring at Ethan as if he wanted nothing more than to twist his head off.
Tom smiled and said, "Ella, please!"
After saying this, he led the way inside, walking ahead.
Unable to resist, Ella glanced at Ethan and asked, "What's your issue with Phil? He's Tom's cousin and not someone to mess with."
"No issue, it's just that yesterday at the bar, I shoved his head into the urinal!" Ethan thought for a moment and honestly replied, looking entirely innocent.
The secretary next to them couldn't help but burst into laughter. How could someone casually admit to shoving someone's head into a urinal and claim there's no issue?
Even's face turned slightly unpleasant, and he said in a deep voice, "The Tiger Group already held a grudge against us, and now you've provoked Phil. It's likely to allow them to cause trouble!"
Samuel coldly remarked, "You shouldn't have come. Not only can you be of no help, but you'll also worsen the Tiger Group's animosity."
Ella also furrowed her beautiful brows slightly. Their relationship with the Tiger Group wasn't good to begin with; they had only reached a temporary ceasefire agreement.
Ethan is the deputy minister of the Aim Group's security department, and he has already offended Phil. Tom probably won't miss this opportunity to trouble him.
Tom and Phil walked ahead and couldn't help but ask.
"This jerk beat me up at Jasmine's bar yesterday and even dunked my head into the urinal!" Phil exclaimed angrily.
"If he beat you up at Jasmine's bar, what could he possibly want?" Tom asked curiously.
Phil shook his head and said, "This jerk is so arrogant. Jasmine was planning to teach him a lesson. But then she received a call from someone, and she wanted me to let it go! Since Jasmine spoke, I had to respect her, so I left. I never expected to run into him again today! Big brother, you can't stop me from seeking revenge. I must find a chance to take him down!" Phil pleaded.
Tom nodded thoughtfully. It wasn't easy to get Jasmine to speak up, but this debt couldn't be overlooked either.
Even Tom had to show respect when he saw Jasmine. After all, behind Jasmine was Paddy, the special appointed manager of the Tiger Gang division!
"Jasmine doesn't like him either, but yesterday someone must have convinced her. If we deal with this scumbag, Jasmine will be grateful to us!" Phil whispered.
Tom nodded with a smile. He didn't care much about this matter.
Moreover, since Ethan was affiliated with the Aim Group, it's a good opportunity to get rid of him!
The group walked into the restaurant and arrived at a lavishly decorated lounge. Tom waved his hand, and waiters brought wine and tea to serve the guests.
"Ella, you know very well the purpose of our negotiation this time, which is about the land at New Age Mansion," Tom said in a casual tone.
Ella remained silent, her fingers resting on the teacup as she looked expressionlessly at Tom.
Tom chuckled, "You obtained the land, but I heard there are some troubles at New Age Mansion! If you can't handle the chaos and proceed with development, it will be a loss for your group. It's better to openly give it to me."
"Mr. Brown, you jest. How do you know we don't have the capability for development?" Ella replied coldly.
"Just now, I heard that you almost ended up with the CEO of Star Electronics Factory detonating explosives in your office. It seems that your company's security work is quite poor! With various criminal elements lurking around New Age Mansion, your security department might not be able to handle them," Tom stated.
Even's face couldn't help but stiffen at Tom's words. He bore responsibility for such a terrible incident, and now Tom was addressing it directly, leaving Even with no expression on his face.
Even said coldly, "Mr. Brown, we haven't even started developing the land yet. How can you already conclude that we are incapable?"
Tom grandly stated, "Alright then, as a friendly partner of the Aim Group, I have specially invited an expert from the Tiger Group division to test the security capabilities of your Aim Group's security department."
"If your security department meets the standards, it will prove that you are indeed capable of safeguarding this land, and I won't bring it up again. But if not, then we will have to seriously discuss our options. If you're not willing to back down, we can reconsider a cooperative development!"
Upon hearing this, Ethan couldn't help but sneer and said, "Isn't it just a show of force through a fight? Why does it sound so grand? Just set up a ring!"
These words made both sides unhappy.
Some matters shouldn't be discussed openly; knowing it is enough.
Tom calmly asked, "Based on your tone, it seems like you have a lot of confidence in the Aim Group's abilities?"
"You bastard, just because Jasmine forgave you yesterday, you look down on the Tiger Group's capabilities today?" Phil scoffed.
Ethan pointed at Phil and said, "If your company has people of that caliber, then I can take on ten of them."
Phil was momentarily stunned, then suddenly exploded in anger!
Tom's expression also turned cold, finding Ethan's words to be extremely rude.
In fact, Ethan was indifferent to these matters. He had joined the Aim Group so quickly solely to slap Diana's arrogant face.
Ella also looked at Ethan with annoyance. Because of his words, the Aim Group would have to engage in an unprepared battle!
Even's face was frozen in shock. Neither the minister nor the president had spoken yet, but this newcomer had jumped ahead. Didn't he understand manners?
"He truly lives up to his small-town origins; he doesn't understand the simplest of courtesies. I wonder whose connections he used to get appointed by Miss Anderson!" Even sneered in his heart.
On the side, Samuel crossed his arms, looking disdainful. Clearly, he felt that speaking to someone like Ethan was beneath him, even if Ethan was on his company's side.
Tom said, "Since you've said such things, then let's have a little test. Ella, what do you think?"
Ella gave Ethan a cold glance and said, "All right."
Ethan smiled and said, "I enjoy fights like this."
"That guy Phil from yesterday was too easy to beat. It was a bit boring. I hope the person you've brought today can give me a good challenge."
Ella finally couldn't hold back and said in a deep voice, "Shut up!"
Phil also grinned ferociously and said, "You son of a bitch, you can laugh now, but soon you won't be able to! Just you wait, you’ll cry!"
The secretary touched her forehead and started to worry about Ethan, also concerned about the company's future.
Miss Anderson's introduction of a blunt executive like this, I wonder how much trouble it will bring to the company in the future!"
