“What do you want me to promise you?”
“You and the other boys shall not hang out with Claire anymore!” Becky said forcefully.
Joe was stunned, scratching his head with a hesitant look. “Even if I’m chasing you, I still have the right to make friends, right? Also, Even if I don’t hang out with Claire anymore, I can’t ask them not to hang out with Claire.”
“You…” Becky’s face flushed red, and she became angry with embarrassment.
Suddenly, a hand reached out to tap on her shoulder.
She turned her head to look. A tall man had walked up to her.
“Brother? Why do you…”
“I came to pick you up from school. I have been looking for you for a while.” Zack glanced at Joe and his face darkened. “Are you still pestering my sister?”
Joe said, “I like Becky, so I am chasing her. Is there any problem?”
Hearing this, Zack suddenly sneered. “Chasing her? Just you? What makes you think you’re worthy of my sister? Stop daydreaming!”
Joe said angrily, “My family is also well-known in the business circle. Why do you think I’m not worthy of Becky?!”
“How dare you talk back to me?!” Zack looked at Joe contemptuously. “I heard that you like to play ‘W2′ and want to enter the Emperor Game Club?”
“Yes?”
Zack laughed, and his disdainful laughter echoed in the corridor, which was very ear-piercing.
He said with contempt dripping from his tone, “Just give up as soon as possible. You’ll never be admitted to the Emperor Game Club, sucker!”
Joe clenched his fists in anger, straightened his waist, and looked firm. “How do you know that I won’t? Let me tell you, I will not only enter the Emperor Game Club, but also become a professional player, and one day I will beat you!”
Zack felt that his words were ridiculous. “Okay, let’s have a contest, dare you?”
Joe agreed without even thinking about it. “Sure!”
“Okay, I’ll give you a few days to prepare. Don’t flinch when the time comes!” Zack said coldly and took Becky away.
On the other side, the study of the Johnsons’ house.
Hunter was sitting in a chair, leaning back lazily and sorting out the documents casually. Suddenly, he found a document.
He opened it and saw four big words written on it.
Special Effect Medicine Project.
Hunter narrowed his deep dark eyes, flipped through the contents of the document, and smiled, looking a bit interested.
Mr. Hopkins came in to deliver fruit. Hunter threw the document in front of him. “Is this project still going on?”
Mr. Hopkins turned pale with fright. “Well… we have already withdrawn from this project.”
Hunter frowned. “This project is so interesting and also of great commercial value. Why did you withdraw?”
“Um… because…” Mr. Hopkins made up an excuse. “This project had some problems and was halted, so we withdrew from it.”
Hunter’s eyes were glowing cold. “Mr. Hopkins, do you think I can’t understand the words on it?”
If it were Mr. Johnson from before, Mr. Hopkins might have been able to deceive him.
But since he returned to normal, there was a daunting and domineering air about him, making people scared.
“In short, this is what your father wanted.” Mr. Hopkins hurriedly grabbed the file and left the study.
At this time, the cell phone on the desk rang.
Hunter glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number.
He hung up deadpan.
Immediately afterwards, the phone rang two or three times.
Annoyed by the noise, Hunter picked up the phone and asked irritably. “Who is it?”
There was a man’s voice on the other end, which sounded a bit gloomy. “Mr. Johnson, I’m glad to speak with you. I am the King of Li Kingdom, Ethan Muller.”
Hunter raised his eyes. “What’s the matter?”
Ethan chuckled and asked. “I heard that you suddenly quit the special effect medicine project. I’d like to know the reason for it.”
“I didn’t quit.” Hunter slowly stood up and turned his head to stare at the sunset outside the window. “I’m very interested in this project.”
Listening to the casual and arrogant voice on the phone, Ethan felt it a little familiar.
“That’s good.” Ethan smiled and said, “I’m free tonight. Can we meet tonight?”
“OK.”
