Seeing Daxon Johnson, Ethan Smith couldn’t help but feel puzzled, what was he here for?
Without much time to think, Ethan quickly drove up to the crowd.
As soon as Elder Hansen saw Ethan, he hurried over.
“Mr. Smith, I was just about to call you,” said Elder Hansen, anxiety written all over his face.
Ethan hurriedly asked, “What’s going on, Elder Hansen?”
Elder Hansen pointed at Daxon Johnson and his group not far away, and said, “They claim that our herbs are unqualified and must be destroyed, and they want to investigate our factory.”
“Mr. Smith, if they start an investigation, we may have to shut down production completely, and I don’t know when we would be able to resume
operations…”
After hearing Elder Hansen’s words, Ethan’s eyes narrowed, and he coldly glanced at Daxon Johnson.
It was obvious that Daxon was making trouble.
The factory had been receiving rave reviews ever since it was established.
It was even less likely that there would be any problems with the herbs, because the demand for herbs in the Soul Nourishment Pill was extremely low, otherwise it could not have reached mass production.
“Don’t worry, Elder Hansen. I’ll take care of this,” Ethan comforted gently.
Elder Hansen hurriedly nodded and said, “Good, good, remember to give gifts when necessary, and don’t be too stubborn…” Ethan smiled and said, “I know, Elder Hansen.”
After that, Ethan walked towards Daxon Johnson.
Daxon looked Ethan up and down as if he had anticipated this, and mockingly said, “I didn’t expect that you, a wretched loser, would open your own factory. Quite impressive.”
Ethan looked coldly at Daxon and asked, “What do you want to do?”
“What do I want to do?” Daxon couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“What else can I do? Investigate your factory,” Daxon sneered.
“Investigate the factory?” Ethan’s eyes narrowed and asked coldly, “You don’t seem to have that authority, do you?
Daxon scoffed, “Our battle zone and the quality inspection department are working together. Is there a problem?”
“No problem,” Ethan nodded. He cleared a path and said, “If you want to investigate, feel free to do so. If you find any problems, I’ll close the factory voluntarily without you saying a word!”
Hearing this, Daxon laughed out loud again.
“Ethan, you’re so naive. Whether there are problems or not, isn’t it up to me?”
Daxon sneered.
After dropping that remark, Daxon immediately waved his hands and said, “Go check his warehouse! If you find any problems, burn it all on site!”
People from the quality inspection department immediately walked towards Ethan’s warehouse.
Meanwhile, Daxon and Ethan stood at the entrance waiting.
In a little while, two men came running out and shouted, “We found it! These herbs are all unqualified products!”
Daxon couldn’t help but sneer repeatedly. He coughed lightly and said softly, “Okay, burn them immediately!”
“This… This is a false accusation!” Elder Hansen panicked immediately.
He ran to Ethan and anxiously explained, “Mr. Smith, these herbs were personally selected by me. There are absolutely no problems. You have to believe me!”
Ethan smiled and comforted, “Elder Hansen, of course, I believe you. This has nothing to do with you. Daxon is targeting me.”
“Kid, don’t slander me!” Daxon mockingly said from the side.
“I’m following the procedures. What do you mean by targeting you?” Daxon sneered.
Ethan took a deep breath and walked up to Daxon, asking, “Daxon, I don’t think I offended you, did I?”
“Haven’t offended me?” Daxon burst into cold laughter.
“Someone’s attitude yesterday was far from this. What, not arrogant anymore? Not flaunting what you’ve got?” Daxon snorted.
A trace of anger flashed across Ethan’s face as he coldly stared at Daxon, “Just because of a verbal conflict, you want to abuse your power, seek personal revenge! Daxon, you really don’t deserve to stay in the battle zone!” “Humph, whether I’m fit or not is not for you to decide,” Daxon snorted. “Let me be clear: not only will I destroy your herbs, but I will also force your factory to undergo rectification!”
“If I’m in a good mood, maybe your factory will resume production after a year or two of rectification; if I’m not in a good mood…maybe it’ll take ten or twenty years.”
At this point, Daxon paused, then whispered into Ethan’s ear, “If you don’t want your factory to close down, beg me. Maybe I’ll be merciful and let you resume production earlier, hahaha!”
Seeing Daxon’s smug expression, Ethan couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger in his heart.
He coldly stared at Daxon and said, “I will definitely report this matter to your superiors.”
“Report to our superiors? What are you, thinking you have the qualification to meet our superiors? That’s hilarious!” Daxon scoffed.
After that, Daxon waved his hand and shouted, “Burn these unqualified herbs on the spot!”
“Yes!” Several people from the relevant departments immediately headed towards Ethan’s warehouse.
“I’d like to see who dares!” At this moment, Ethan suddenly shouted and quickly stood at the entrance of the warehouse!
With that roar, everyone’s footsteps involuntarily stiffened, the terrifying pressure preventing them from making any rash moves for the moment.
Daxon’s face turned cold, and he immediately walked towards Ethan.
As he walked, he shouted, “Ethan Smith, are you trying to resist the law? If you dare to resist, I’ll kill you on the spot!”
“You dare,” Ethan coldly retorted.
“You’ll see if I dare!” Daxon quickly walked up to Ethan.
Without saying another word, he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Ethan.
However, Ethan quickly reached out and grabbed the gun. In the next second, the gun was crushed by Ethan’s grip!
Daxon’s face suddenly changed, and he instinctively stepped back. Then, he angrily shouted, “Ethan, you tried to snatch my gun! I now have the right to shoot you dead on the spot!”
“If you dare to take one more step forward, I guarantee you’ll die here first,” Ethan coldly replied.
Hearing Ethan’s words, fear suddenly rose in Daxon’s heart!
For some reason, he just couldn’t bring himself to take another step forward!
“Fine, fine, you dare to threaten a soldier! ” Daxon gritted his teeth and pointed at Ethan, saying, “You wait! I’m going to report this to my superior right now!” With that said, Daxon took out his phone and prepared to make a call.
“I’ll wait for your superior to come. I happen to have a good relationship with them,” Ethan coldly replied.
Hearing that, Daxon suddenly burst into laughter.
“You have a relationship with our superiors? Who do you think you are? Take a look in the mirror!” Daxon laughed hysterically.
Ethan smirked, “I’m sorry, but your commanding officer personally invited me to the battle zone. Would you say we have a relationship?”
As soon as Ethan finished speaking, Daxon laughed even harder.
He clutched his stomach and said, “Inviting you to the battle zone? To do your laundry and cook? I can’t stop laughing! Hahaha!”
Ethan didn’t bother to waste any more words with him and just waved his hand, signaling Daxon to make the call.
Just then, a car with an official license plate suddenly drove over from a distance.
“Is this Ethan’s factory?” The Deputy Chief casually looked outside while asking with a smile.
“Yes, Deputy Chief,” Commander Keller quickly replied.
Commander Keller wryly smiled and said, “Ethan is highly regarded in River City.. Who would dare to cause trouble for his factory?”
