Chapter 751 Safe
Loxton, calm for several months, suddenly became turbulent again.
Several foreign enterprises had either announced bankruptcy and reorganization due to the breakdown of their capital chains or had been exposed to various fatal problems.
The ordinary people could only look at the daily green stock market with a sigh.
The true big shots who knew the truth were already in a state of anxiety.
The top leaders were fighting, and those small fry were also getting caught in the crossfire.
The financial channel was excitedly broadcasting news. Zobber walked out, picked up the remote control on the table, and turned off the TV. "Withal, how come you're even listening to such rubbish news?"
Catherine would return to Loxton in two days. They chose to stay in Loxton and wait for Catherine to return so they could have a good time together.
Hearing Zobber's sarcasm, Withal casually leaned back, comfortably settled on the couch, and nonchalantly said, "Just killing time. Besides, he's not wrong. It really is like gods fighting. The Duncans' big shot is taking advantage of Catherine not being here to deal with that old guy who doesn't know his place."
Even if Branden didn't take action, the Hacker Alliance would still make a move to give the Breens a lesson and let these stubborn old folks know that they couldn't be easily provoked.
Zobber usually paid no attention to financial news at all. Even though she knew that the business world in Loxton had been uneasy lately, she had no idea what was really going on behind the scenes.
Upon hearing Withal's whimsical remarks, she immediately became interested and rushed to Withal's side the next second. "What does that mean? Who did Mr. Duncan deal with?"
Withal looked at her disdainfully. "Do you love listening to this kind of gossip?
Zobber knew Withal was teasing her, but now she needed something from him, so she naturally tried to please him. "I do. Won't you please forgive me for my previous mistake?"
Withal informed Zobber of Branden's retaliatory actions against the Breens' subsidiaries in Eskana after Branden returned to Loxton.
Initially, the Breens relied on the widespread presence of their parent company in Euphosean and Bothor and were highly arrogant. However, they did not know that during Branden's absence from the country, he did many things.
He dealt a severe blow to the Breens, causing unprecedented crises in several key Breens companies in Alton.
The backyard fire kept the Breens busy putting out the flames everywhere.
For them, the subsidiaries of Eskana were undoubtedly important, but they couldn't compare to their large group in Alton because that was where their foundation lay.
While the Breens were busy covering for the company in Alton, Branden's Duncan Corporation in Eskana launched a furious attack against the Breens.
When encountering a company that could be acquired, he directly acquired it. Their financial chain was severed for those that couldn't be acquired, forcing them to declare bankruptcy on their own.
Some companies had been strutting around in Eskana, relying on foreign capital, but they had been directly exposed to scandals and were now facing the crisis of closure.
The combination of these measures took Shane's company by surprise and won the appreciation of many other companies.
Because those companies had relied on the protection of significant capital to do many bad things in the past, they had used shady tactics against some small businesses in Eskana, monopolized specific industries, and taken a large portion of the profits.
Branden meant real this time. He was really trying to kick the Breens' company out of Eskana for good so they couldn't make any more money there.
After listening to Withal's account, Zobber excitedly danced and waved her hands. "Mr. Duncan is too handsome. That old man Shane probably didn't expect to kick the iron plate this time. Catherine is concerned with the previous favors and does not have time to deal with him. Does he think he can live in peace without any worries? It's simply a ridiculous dream! Mr. Duncan is so powerful. With such a big drama, I must also join in the fun."
Having said that, Zobber stood up and brought out the computer.
She was preparing to contact Wantel, who was far away in Alton, to encourage him to stir up some trouble in Alton and irritate the old man, Shane Breen, hopefully even causing him to die from anger.
After a while, Zobber angrily slammed the computer. "What is this hermit Wanetells up to? I messaged him and waited for half a day, but he didn't reply to me."
After hearing this, Ronin, who was sitting quietly playing on his phone, casually remarked, "I looked for him last night, but he still hasn't replied to me."
After the voice fell, the originally noisy room suddenly quieted down.
A few seconds later, Zobber was the first to react, her expression turning solemn as she looked at the two people. "I'll immediately contact the members of the Hacker Alliance in Alton to find out the whereabouts of Wantel."
Withal agreed, saying, "Yes, I will go find some friends to check out a few accommodations of Wantel."
Ronin also opened the hacker system to check the latest developments on it.
After speaking, they took action simultaneously.
They had known Wantel for many years and were well aware of his character.
Although Wantel was a big homebody and usually did not like to communicate with others, he had the highest degree of cooperation with the tasks arranged by the organization. Zobber just sent a message to him. He might be busy and did not see it. But he hadn't replied to the message Ronin sent him last night until now, which was very wrong.
Their sharp intuition made them realize that something might be about to
happen.
At present, their top priority was to find Wantel and ensure his safety.
