On that day, Leon stayed at Spring Gold Resort while Ada's Lewis rushed to the city due to some unexpected matters. Just when Leon was about to sit down and enjoy himself, his phone kept vibrating.

He was surprised to see that it was a group chat with his college classmates, who were all excitedly congratulating Sophia for successfully securing the project at Spring Gold Resort.

They praised her for being the most capable among their classmates and for the reputation of the Zion's Group. Sophia even suggested celebrating the occasion by inviting all of their classmates to a banquet at the resort.

Leon couldn't help but smile at the flattery and Sophia's tendency to show off, which she had not changed over the years. However, just as Leon was about to close his phone, Sophia suddenly mentioned him in the group chat and sent him a voice message, inviting him to the celebration banquet that evening at Spring Gold Resort. Leon raised his eyebrows and had no intention of responding.

Unfortunately, a sycophant immediately jumped in, reminding everyone that Leon had been publicly rejected by Sophia in the past and that he would be too embarrassed to show up.

The speaker was none other than Lathan, the class monitor in college and also a long-time admirer of Sophia. Now Lathan worked in Zion Company, Zion Corporation, as the assistant to the CEO.

Whenever Sophia won a project, Lathan would announce it in the group chat, a typical sycophant. Sophia said, "Leon, don't be silent. I know you're reading the group messages. Weren't you very arrogant before? Now that I've won the project for Spring Gold Resort, I want to see what you can do to challenge me!"

"Spring Gold Resort has a capital giant behind it. This construction project was won solely by CEO Sophia's efforts, and she even met with the big wigs of the capital giant. It's not a small matter," Lathan echoed.

The group chat was shocked, and chaos ensued. Leon typed a simple message: "Didn't I tell you not to be too happy too soon?" Seeing Leon's response, Lathan immediately started mocking him in the group chat, like a mad dog barking in a strange tone. Only Sophia, in her office, looked Somewhat strange.

"Don't be too happy too soon?"

"Why do l feel like I've heard this before?" "Oh, I remember. This is what Young Master Leon said. Could it be..." Sophia trembled all over, almost dropping her phone, but she quickly calmed down and shook her head vigorously, thinking to herself, "How is this possible? What is Leon's background? As his college classmate and ex-girlfriend, I know him better than anyone else!" The Arrision family in Panama was the first aristocratic family in Katava, an invincible giant.

There was no connection between the two. Sophia slapped her head. "What's wrong with my brain these days? Why do I keep confusing these two people? Young Master Leon has such a distinguished background. How could he be compared to that useless Leon?" So, Sophia put aside her thoughts and sent a voice message to the group again.

"Leon, this time, I'm inviting you with great sincerity. As classmates, you should at least come and show your face.

Our past is already behind us. If you don't come, everyone will think you can't let go of me!" She said it with such self-righteousness.

Leon replied with a meaningful tone, "It seems like I need to reconsider." Lathan relentlessly mocked, "What do you need to reconsider? Whether to Come or not?"

"Lathan, what are you doing? We're all classmates. Leon's coming is a matter of goodwill. How can you speak like that?" Sophia immediately rebuked insincerely in the group.

"Sophia, you're right. Leon, I'm sorry if l hurt your self-esteem with my words. I apologize here and will drink three cups as punishment when you come to the celebration banquet." Lathan spoke with a fake tone and strange words. Leon didn't bother to continue the conversation and instead informed Savage Leif to come over. "Young master, what are your orders?" Savage Leif bowed his head and didn't dare to be negligent.

Leon straightforwardly said, "We need to modify the contract with Zion Group. We demand that Zion Group fully support Diva Construction Company to complete the development project of Spring Gold Resort. If Zion Group is unwilling, we can cancel the contract." Upon hearing this order, Spring Gold was also stunned.

"Why?" Leon raised his eyebrows. Savage Leif looked puzzled, "Young master, why do we need to modify the contract all of a sudden? And if we do this, isn't Zion Group just working for Diva Construction Company for free?" Leon explained," Diva Construction Company lacks the necessary strength to handle such a large project. Zion Group just wants to get closer to us, and cooperation is secondary."

"So asking the Zion Group to help the Diva Construction Company is the best choice, and that's why I agreed first and then made modifications," said Leon.

"At this point, the Zion Group has no turning back and can only grit their teeth and swallow the bitter pill," he continued. "After all, the Zion Group has been trying to attach themselves to the Arrision's family and gain more long-term resources from them. But to attach themselves to the Arrision's family, they must pay a price, not just any price." Savage Leif swallowed his saliva, not expecting this turn of events. It seemed that from the beginning, Leon had planned everything out perfectly, including his meeting with Sophia, which was just a show.

The purpose was to drag the Zion Group into the mess and pave the way for the Diva Construction Company, like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey to make the millstone turn faster. If the Zion Group didn't cooperate, it would be a sign of insincerity, and they could forget about any future benefits.

Savage Leif suddenly realized what was going on and was impressed by Leon's foresight. It seemed that the young master had everything under control, and the Zion Group was in for a rude awakening.

"Master, should we inform the Zion Group about the contract modifications now?" Savage Leif asked with reverenced Leon smiled and said, "No rush. Let's wait until tomorrow. After all, I want to give them a taste of honey before the bitter medicine. I'm looking forward to seeing the Zion Group's reaction

    Night falls! The entire Spring Gold resort, illuminated by the night, appears dazzling and colorful. At this moment, Sophia's celebration banquet is also in full swing. For this celebration, Sophia spent a lot of money and specifically booked Villa No. 10 in Spring Gold Resort! Spring Gold Resort has a hundred villas, all arranged according to the house number sequence. The higher the house number, the better the view and the more expensive the price. For example, Sophia's Villa No. 10 costs a staggering 150,000 dollars per night, which is not affordable for ordinary people who can only stay in hotel rooms in the resort. Many classmates arrived at Villa No. 10 one after another and were amazed by the luxury. "It must cost a lot to stay here for one night, right?" "Sophia is rich, or else she wouldn't have invited us all here." "Sophia's vision is extraordinary!" For a moment, the villa was filled with praise. Especially when the expensive champagne and red wine were serv

    In the face of the ridicule before him, Leon remained calm and composed throughout. But when he spoke, he shocked the entire room in an instant. Sophia's whole body tensed up, her heart suddenly gripped as if struck by a thunderbolt. "You mean to say..." she stammered. "This is impossible!" exclaimed another. "How could you be the young master of the Arrision's family?" asked a third. "You have no connection to him whatsoever!" Sophia's throat trembled, and she lost all her momentum. She couldn't stop backing away, her face drained of color. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Lathan quickly stepped forward to support Sophia and said confidently, "Miss Sophia, the young master of the Arrision family is a person of great status and prestige. How could he be mentioned in the same breath as someone like Leon? This guy is just bragging." Hearing this explanation, Sophia calmed down a bit and nodded in agreement. Then she said, "Lathan is right. Leon, you've gone too far

    This classmate's celebration banquet ended unhappily. Sophia was so terrified that she couldn't do anything about it. No matter how she asked Savage Leif for help, she still couldn't do anything. Gritting her teeth, Savage Leif had no choice but to run to the door of Villa No. 1 and try to ring the doorbell. As a result, Arrision Leon was inside and didn't respond at all, leaving Sophia outside the door. "It's over, it's over!" "My dad has to come over in person tomorrow. If he wants to know about this, how should I explain it?" "The most important thing is that Leon's current attitude is completely unclear, and he may cancel the contract any minute!" Sophia was so frightened that she didn't dare to inform the Zion Group, nor did she dare to leave without permission. She could only guard outside the gate of Villa No. 1 and keep sending messages to Leon. And these messages have changed their previous attitude, apologizing, admitting mistakes, regretting, and begging! It's

    For the sake of this construction project, the Zion Group had spared no effort and was on a hot streak. However, the sudden change in the contract was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Zion Group. Once this news got out, the entire Zion Group would become the biggest laughingstock in Cuba. "Sofia, what are you still standing there for?" "Are you happy only when I'm in a hurry?" "Is there a misunderstanding between you and the young master? You'd better be honest and explain it clearly." Elvis was anxious, his face full of anxiety. Under such circumstances, Sofia finally couldn't bear it anymore. Her legs bent, and she fell to the ground with a thump, telling the whole story of the incident. Upon hearing what happened last night, Elvis was furious and cursed, You bastard, how could you do such a ridiculous thing? The young master had already hinted at you before, and you couldn't fail to recognize it. "As a result, you were so stupid that you didn't understand that the young m

    Why should I consult with others when I, Leon, make decisions? "The project in Spring Gold Resort doesn't require such a fuss," said Ariana, sitting upright with an imposing air. "It should be straightforward and handed over to the Zion Group for management." "| wonder who came up with such a ridiculous idea!" she continued, her tone full of indignation. Elvis and Sophia exchanged a strange look but remained silent. "Of course, it was my idea," Leon said, looking around at everyone before calmly picking up his teacup. Ariana slammed the table in anger. "Leon, you are only the young master. You cannot make decisions about the development of the Arrision family's businesses. Even if you want to pave the way for Emerald, you should discuss it with your elders instead of acting recklessly here!" Seeing this, Elvis felt a sense of relief. Ariana was indeed the legitimate wife of the Arrision family, and her attitude was tough. She didn't give Leon any face at all! At this criti

    They walked out of the villa gate. Sophia felt as if she had been granted a reprieve as if she had just experienced a nightmare. However, the moment they stepped out, Elvis's expression darkened and he slapped Sophia hard across the face in front of all the senior executives of the group. "Dad.." Sophia covered her face with her right hand, tears welling up in her eyes. Elvis's scolded her angrily, his eyes wide with fury. "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me. If it weren't for you, things wouldn't have escalated to this point. Do you know how close we were to not being able to leave just now? Do you know how ruthless the young master is?" Sophia looked pitifully at him and tugged at his sleeve. "It's all my fault this time, Dad. Don't be angry. Anyway, things have come to an end and our Zion Group has come out unscathed, right?" Elvis shook her off and pointed at her nose, scolding her. "Don't try to fool me. If it weren't for the fact that our Zion Group still

    The incident in Cuba has been reported to Panama through Ariana. The old lady in Cuba was furious upon hearing about it. Listening to the description on the phone, Leon couldn't help but find it extremely ridiculous. After being abandoned for more than 20 years and relying on each other for survival, he had gone through hardships. And now, instead of Leon being angry, some people were getting angry. This was simply a huge joke! "Must I, Leon, always follow others' wishes and do things according to their orders?" Leon held the phone, and the cold light in his eyes became even stronger in an instant. The voice on the other end of the phone urged, "I am doing this for your good. You must perform well in front of your grandmother. Only by gaining her approval can your position in the Arrision family be truly solidified in the future." "I don't think you are doing this for my good. You are only doing this because there is no one else to take over, and Avril is incapable of sho

    Meanwhile, at the Arrision Family Chamber of Commerce. Before Leon's arrival, many servants had already gathered. Arrision Family Chamber of Commerce had been established for many years and held immense commercial resources and power. The servants all benefited from the Arrision Family Chamber of Commerce and were prominent figures in society. Among them, the leading family was the Avalon Abel Family. As the maternal family of the old lady, the Avalon Abel Family held a unique position in the Chamber of Commerce. The head of the Abel Family even held the position of vice president, possessing great authority. Before Leon's arrival, the position of president had been vacant for years, and the Abel Family head had controlled the Chamber of Commerce, allocating project resources and assigning them to servant families one by one, further elevating the status of the Abel Family head. However, now that Leon had arrived and directly assumed the position of president, it was undou

    Faced with this situation, Tiger could hardly believe that Leo was still alive! What surprised Tiger even more was that he knew about it! It must be noted that Leo was the beloved of the old lady and had always been protected by her, and she had given him absolute inheritance lights early on. If it weren't for Leo's accident overseas, Leon would never have had a chance to take over, let alone have any opportunity at all! If the old lady found out that Leo was still alive, the situation would definitely cause a huge upheaval, and even if Leon had a thousand abilities, he would not be able to escape the old lady's suppression! Thinking of this, Tiger couldn't help but start to breathe heavily. Especially when he thought of the various grievances he had suffered and the scene of being blocked outside the door, Tiger's expression changed as if he had finally found a chance to turn the tables. So Tiger immediately said, "I didn't expect that Leo was still alive, and that my L

    "What are you guys doing?" Seeing Lyrick's actions, Coco was momentarily stunned. Lyrick quickly realized Coco had come down from upstairs and immediately straightened his back, pretending nothing had happened. He hooked his arm around Leon's shoulder and smiled, "It's nothing, I dropped something and was just picking it up." Coco didn't think much of it and thought Lyrick was telling the truth. She hurriedly walked over and said, "I thought something was wrong with you guys. Lyrick, you're so forgetful, you almost forgot your keys." "Look at my memory, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten!" Lyrick slapped his forehead and picked up the forgotten keys before leaving. As soon as he was out of sight, Coco's face changed and she glared at Leon, saying, "Leon, are you.satisfied with how things have turned Out?" "Cousin, this is all your fault from start to finish. What does my satisfaction have to do with anything?" Leon replied calmly. Coco snorted, "If it weren'

    With the business card in his hand, Lyrick's eyes widened in shock. The card was from the Family Chamber of Commerce, and it belonged to the president, Caleb! At that moment, Lyrick's mind went blank, and he was almost overwhelmed by the realization of the value of this card. As a member of the Reynolds family in Cartel, he knew better than anyone else that not everyone was qualified to receive such a card, especially with the Chamber of Commerce seal on it. It was then that Lyrick finally understood everything that Leon had said. Leon was the young master, and the young master was Leon. And Coco's family background was definitely protected and deliberately Concealed. Lyrick's heart raced, and he struggled to maintain his composure. He looked at Caleb, then at Leon and Coco, who had not yet sat down, and his scalp tingled. But before Lyrick could say anything, and before Coco could notice anything, Caleb quickly took the card back and put it back in her pocket. She

    That night, after work, Leon went out with Lyrick. For this meeting, Lyrick had bought many expensive gifts on the way, intending to personally give them to Stevin and show his filial piety to gain the approval of his elders. In addition, Lyrick kept talking about the events of the day, repeatedly exclaiming in amazement. "The young master is truly amazing. He struck like thunder. Tiger must be feeling very frustrated right now!" "But on the other hand, Tiger also thinks very highly of himself. His ambitions have long been known to everyone, and he has had more than one conflict with President Godfrey in private. He really thought that without any evidence in hand and with the Light family's status in Jinling, no one could do anything to him. But when the young master issued that document, he didn't care about any of that. He was simply too clever for his Own good!" "if I have the chance, I really want to see the young master with my own eyes, up close, and see wh

    "Because..." Soko was almost suffocating, his heart pounding, the answer was about to come out. Unfortunately, at this critical moment, Leon suddenly took a step forward and interrupted Soko's words, saying, "Of course it's because of a guilty conscience that Soko is in a hurry to leave!" Soko's throat tightened, instantly understanding Leon's meaning, that he didn't want to reveal his identity so quickly and deliberately interrupted him! Tiger retorted confidently, "This is simply nonsense, where does the guilty conscience come from!" Leon swept the room and said unabashedly, "As far as I know, since the establishment of the Keartonia branch, the Light family has been behind the scenes, intending to control the branch's power, and there have been many frictions with President Godfrey." "I think everyone knows these things, it's just that they haven't been brought to the surface yet. How could the young master not know?" Tiger angrily rebuked, "You have no evidence, don't

    With the exposure of the punishment document, the whole scene suddenly became uproarious. Many high-level officials present were all at a loss and found it unbelievable. "It's actually a punishment document?" Tiger's face turned pale, and he couldn't believe that things would develop in this direction. Soko suddenly turned his head, his eyes bulging with shock as he looked at Leon. His throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he couldn't speak a word. His heart was even more turbulent. Godfrey held the document and announced one of the punishments publicly, "Yes, this is a punishment document. From now on, Tiger will be suspended and will not serve as the vice president!" Upon hearing this punishment, Tiger was even more incredulous. His whole face turned iron blue, and he immediately questioned, "Why such a severe punishment for me? l don't think I have done anything wrong!" "The young master has his reasons for doing so. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the hea

    Within just five minutes, the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce issued a document, which was unexpectedly fast. Soko widened his eyes and tensed up, finding it hard to believe that such a coincidence could happen, especially with the summoning of a meeting by Godfrey. He was extremely nervous about the content of the headquarters' document. When he asked about it, he was told that the document wasconfidential and would only be announced during the meeting. Soko did not get a clear answer, and his heart raced even faster. Could it really be as Leon described? Soko did not want to believe that he would be so unlucky as to be caught in the cross hairs. Soko gritted his teeth and said, "Leon, the document has not been announced yet. We don't know the result. Maybe it's just about the development of the branch?" "If the document needs to be announced during the meeting, why not go to the conference room in person?" Leon smiled. "Leon, stop pretending. You are the one wh

    "Not just the head of this department?" "Then may I ask, do you have any other identity? Soko looked at Leon with a strange expression, with a hint of playfulness. Leon remained calm, sitting opposite Tiger with a faint smile on his face, and said, "I am the founder of the New Chamber of Commerce and the president of the New Chamber of Commerce, Leon himself!" As soon as the Words were spoken, Soko was shocked. Even Tiger couldn't help but be shocked, his face changing. But soon, the father and son shook their heads one after another, treating it as a joke. Soko couldn't help laughing, "Although you have the same name and surname as the young master, you are not the same person as him at all. You are just the cousin of Coco, whose background is just an ordinary family!" "I thought you were so confident because you had some ability, but l didn't expect to be so disappointed. And you even said such absurd things, it's simply shameless." Tiger also didn't believe it

    "Leon, I advise you to be sensible!" "Don't think that being in charge can make any difference." "This position was originally meant for me!" Soko stood by, speaking with great Confidence. As the eldest son of the Light family, Soko indeed had the confidence to speak like this. Especially since the Light family's position and influence in Kealonia Province was absolutely not to be underestimated, most of the family forces in the branch had some kind of attachment to the Light family! This was also why, after the establishment of the Kealonia branch, Tiger became the vice president in one fell swoop! In terms of relationships, influence, and strength, few in the Kealonia branch could match Tiger. If it were anyone else in this situation, they would surely choose to back down and not offend the Light family. But the situation was quite the opposite. The person standing in front of them was not an ordinary person, but the founder of the New Forest Chamber of Commerce! "Vice Pr
