Chapter 524: Devin Jarrell

Behind these businesses were terrifying profits!
In particular, the oil price in the country was relatively high, which was several times higher than the oil price overseas!
As a result, there were many oil smugglers in the coastal areas. Some small boats could buy a ship of oil at a low price from overseas. When they returned to the country, they could earn hundreds of thousands overnight!
That was how vicious it was.
With such high profits, there would definitely be people who would take the risk.
With the same logic.
The new plant in the new district of Preston was producing anti-gravity devices in large quantities, which touched the interests of some people.
Behind these people was the oil and gas group.
In just a few days, someone had secretly contacted Hugo Skeeter and offered him a huge profit to buy the new factory that produced the anti-gravity device and all the technology!
Why did the oil and gas group want to buy the anti-gravity device technology?
They wanted to destroy everything in the new factory.
They wanted to eliminate the anti-gravity device technology.
As long as the anti-gravity device technology was blocked off, then for the oil and gas groups, the longer the anti-gravity device was blocked off, the more money they could make.
On the contrary, the emergence of the anti-gravity device would subvert the entire industry.
The big boss behind the oil and gas industry would not be willing to accept that!
Hugo smiled bitterly in front of Braydon as he recounted these things.
He said softly, “Now, the new factory is forced to stop. In name, our factory’s pollution index has exceeded the standard, polluting the air and land. In fact, it’s the Preston Oil and Gas Group’s doing.”
“What is the background of this oil and gas group?” Zayn Ziegler returned and asked with a frown.
Hugo had never mentioned this to Zayn before.
If Hugo had told him, Zayn would have been able to raze the Preston Oil and Gas Group to the ground with his guards.
Hugo said softly, “Preston Oil and Gas Group was a state-owned enterprise 30 years ago. Later, it was gradually acquired by the Jarrell family step by step. It was privatized in the form of employee stock ownership. It is currently a private enterprise of the Jarrell family. The Jarrell family has the final say in the entire oil and gas industry in Preston. ”
“There is no Jarrell family among the seven great families of Preston!”
Zayn frowned.
Hugo replied helplessly, “The Jarrell family has long left Preston and developed in the provincial capital. Now, they can be considered a small family in the provincial capital. They have warlord level martial artists.” “How did they find you?”
Braydon was playing chess in the pavilion with a faint smile.
The white pieces were dominating.
But this time, Old Man Zito held a black piece while thinking how to win.
A moment later.
“I lost!” Old Man Zito smiled bitterly.
“Not bad, your chess skills have improved a lot!” Braydon complimented him and glanced at Hugo, asking him to continue.
“Preston Oil and Gas Group offered me 30 million dollars to transfer the new factory and hand over all the technology related to the anti-gravity device!” Hugo said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Braydon laughed.
For the construction of the new factory, Hugo had invested up to 700 million dollars. In order to recruit 20,000 workers, Hugo had used a lot of effort.
There was also the anti-gravity device.
Forget about 30 million!
Even if it was 2 trillion dollars, they would never sell.
The anti-gravity device would subvert the entire industry. In the future, the global market would have a commercial value of no less than 3-5 trillion dollars!
Did you think the anti-gravity device was only available in the domestic market?
Wrong!
The target was the hundred countries around the world!
The more developed the industry, the more industries that could use anti-gravity devices.
The commercial value was obvious!
More importantly, it was of military value.
Anti-gravity technology could be applied to national defense.
It was priceless.
Now, the Jarrell family of Preston Oil and Gas Group wanted them to sell everything for 30 million dollars.
Who gave them the courage?
They wanted to bully Braydon.
They must be tired of living!
Braydon moved another white chess piece in his hand and stood up to ask, “Who is the one backing them up?
“I don’t know. The person who came to me the day before yesterday was a warlord level martial artist from the Jarrell family. His name is Devin Jarrell.”
Hugo told Braydon that he did not know.
Zayn took a step forward and said, “Commander, I’ll check it out!”
Braydon stretched his back and smiled lightly like the wind. “My injuries have healed. Let’s go out and get some fresh air.”
Zayn was slightly shocked. Of course, he understood. He knew that since Braydon had personally asked about this matter, things would not end up well!
Of all people, the Preston Oil and Gas Group had to provoke the Neal family!
It was fine if they provoked the Neal family, but they actually used their connections, wanting to stop the production of the new factory.
They even used the excuse of excessive sewage discharge and environmental pollution to stop the production of the new factory.
The new factory produced high-precision anti-gravity devices, not chemical raw materials.
How could this pollute the air?
They were simply being bullies!
The Jarrell family had a monopoly on the oil and gas industry in Preston. They had earned a lot of money over the past few decades. They even used Preston as a springboard to enter the provincial capital and become a small family there.
It was not difficult to see that the Jarrell family’s foundation was in Preston!
Moreover, it was much easier to become an aristocratic family than a powerful family.
If there were martial artists in all three generations, they could become a small aristocratic family.
As for the big aristocratic families, they were powerful. All five generations were martial artists.
What did it mean for five generations to live under the same roof?
It meant that the person with the highest seniority was over a hundred years old.
Martial artists below king level were the same as normal people, less than a hundred years old.
Any martial artist over 100 years old would be at the king level.
A force with five generations under one roof would definitely have a king-level martial artist.
This was the difference between a small aristocratic family and a large aristocratic family.
In the eastern part of Preston.
In a high-end villa district, outside a three-story villa in the core area, luxury cars were parked everywhere.
There was a special parking space in the villa, but these people did not park properly. They parked at the entrance of the villa, showing contempt for the rules here. They did not care about the property security at all.
In fact, the property management company in the villa area did not dare to manage this place.
Dozens of luxury cars stopped at the villa entrance, and there were property security guards standing guard here.
In the courtyard of the villa, there were children playing.
In the living room, there was a group of adults chatting and laughing. They were holding red wine glasses as if they were celebrating something.
Among this group of men in suits and leather shoes, there was a middle-aged man who was greatly respected. From the flattering smiles of the people around him, it could be seen that the man’s identity was extraordinary.
Beside him was a man wearing a luxurious suit. His name was Fenix Jarrell, the chairman of Preston Oil and Gas Group.
“Devin, you took the time to come all the way from the provincial capital. Stay here for a few more days!” he said with a bright smile.
“Fenix, serious business is more important. Before I came, the old man repeatedly instructed that in Preston, a powerful person like Hugo Skeeter must not be allowed to exist!”
Devin’s eyes turned serious.
It was very clear what he meant. He came from the provincial capital to block Hugo’s path and destroy the new factory that produced anti-gravity devices.
He wanted to accomplish this at all costs.
Fenix immediately made a promise. “Don’t worry. I’ll definitely settle this matter for you. I’ll make sure you can go back with good news. There won’t be any mistakes..”
