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 undoubtedly a bad thing for the Avalon Abel Family. "Aspen, what are your plans for the young master's entry into the Chamber of Commerce?"

"l don't know how the old lady will react." "As far as I know, the young master has done a lot of things for the lady in Cuba, which has angered the old lady!" The servant families present asked one after another, and it was evident that they all looked up to the Avalon Abel Family.

Under the gaze of many, an elderly man with white hair and a cane slowly stood up from the main seat of the Chamber of Commerce.

The old man had a stern face, and his demeanor was imposing even when he was not angry. He was none other than the head of the Abel Family, Maurice!

At the same time, Maurice was also the younger brother of Old Lady Tina and the uncle of Leon. Maurice coldly declared with great authority, "This wild bastard is delusional to take control of the Chamber of Commerce. It's simply a pipe dream." At this moment, Godfrey from Adam's family in Cuba stood up with a brave face and said, "Old man, the young master is still the young master, and he has a very close relationship with you. How can you speak of him like this?" Upon hearing Godfrey's defense,

Maurice immediately glared at him and slapped him across the face, scolding, "Were Adam's family in Cuba so bold as to act recklessly in front of me?" This slap made Godfrey feel extremely humiliated.

He had come early to make amends for his previous misunderstandings with Leon in Cuba, but he did not expect to be slapped in front of other servants and families. "Old man, the young master was sent here to take control of the Chamber of Commerce.

You should not obstruct him, but rather help him," Godfrey gritted his teeth and endured the pain on his face.

As soon as he finished speaking, Maurice swung his cane and hit Godfrey's shoulder, shouting, "How dare you be so insolent? What qualifications does that wild bastard have to be recognized by my family in Avalon? What qualifications does he have to be a real young master?"

"But this is Old Lady Tina's intention!" Godfrey staggered. Maurice put away his cane and gave Godfrey a cold glance.

"That's true, but that wild bastard Leon has repeatedly attacked Adeline in Cuba, showing no respect for his elders and committing heinous crimes."

"I won't let him get away with it so easily. If he can make my family in Avalon truly acknowledge him, then I have nothing to say!" Upon hearing this, Godfrey immediately understood. With such a firm attitude from Maurice, it was certain that besides Leon's background, Adeline must have been secretly instigating him.

This arrangement for Leon to enter the Chamber of Commerce was said to be for him to become the president, but in essence, it was a test from the old lady. Since it was a test, Maurice could easily claim that he was deliberately obstructing Leon, but frame it as a test for him.

If Leon couldn't prove his true ability and convince everyone, then the final result would surely be a failure!

Godfrey couldn't help but worry when he thought of this. With Maurice's status and the loyalty of all the servants, there was a high probability that Leon would become a commander without an army and be tormented by Maurice!

Especially in the current situation, everyone was waiting for Leon to arrive. It was hard to believe that Maurice had no tricks up his sleeve to deal with Leon and give him a warning. Just then, a Rolls-Royce drove into the Chamber of Commerce gate. Leon stepped out of the car as the door opened.

Seeing the commotion outside and Leon's young face, all the servants' expressions changed and they made gestures to go and greet him.

Suddenly, Maurice raised his hand and signaled, "Everyone, stand still!" Godfrey asked in surprise, "Aspen, Leon is the young master. Shouldn't we go out to greet him?" "He is indeed the young master, but I am his uncle. As an elder, it is only right for him to come in and serve me tea first!" Maurice remained seated in the main seat.

As soon as he spoke, everyone stayed put. Leon stood outside, slightly frowning when he saw that no one came out to greet him. Ada's Lewis sounded nervous, "Young Master..." Leon smiled and didn't say anything, then took big steps forward and walked in. In an instant, a large number of eyes around him gathered together unconsciously.

Leon looked around and quickly found Godfrey standing in the crowd, then shifted his gaze to Maurice, who was sitting in the main seat. Maurice sat with his hands on his cane, his pupils slightly contracted, "Leon, do you know who l am?" Leon said lightly, "Maurice, the head of the Abel family in Avalon, and the vice president of the Spring Business Association in Bahamas Province."

Maurice smiled and said, "It seems that Ada's Lewis has told you everything. Since you have met me, your elder, as a junior, shouldn't you offer me a cup of tea?" In the face of this situation, Leon remained calm. At this critical moment, Leon knew better than anyone else that if he obeyed the other party's request in front of all the servants, he would lose face and be at a disadvantage in the future no matter what he did.

As Leon said before, from the moment he became the young master, if there was any weakness or retreat, he would fall into an irreparable situation! Therefore, Leon said righteously, "In the business association, we emphasize rules, not discussing seniority." "Although you are indeed my elder in many ways, there is no doubt about that, I do not deny it."

"But sorry, this is the Spring Business Association. You are only the vice president, and I am the real president. Is there any reason for the president to offer tea to the vice president of the business association? You have a big mouth. Do you think this is your home?"

"As the vice president, you have already lost face in public by not following the rules. I have not asked you to get off the main seat, which is already giving you face!"

Wow!

All the servants were shocked by the sudden noise.

    For a moment, the entire Chamber of Commerce was shocked. It was well-known that Maurice held an unparalleled position in the business World. The Abel family's power in the entire Spring Province was unrivaled and unshakeable. Moreover, Maurice was a towering figure in the business world of the province, with countless dignitaries and officials seeking his favor in private. Everyone had expected that Leon Would be more restrained when he arrived at the Chamber of Commerce. However, to their surprise, he spoke out boldly and acted so aggressively upon their first meeting. This scene was truly unexpected. Standing in the corner of the crowd, Godfrey couldn't help but feel nervous and sweaty in his palms. He thought that Leon's behavior was a bit too radical. Even if he had to do something, he shouldn't have spoken so bluntly and completely ruined their relationship. Otherwise, it would be extremely detrimental to his future position in the Chamber of Commerce. Godfrey mutte

    As Maurice fell to the ground, Leon turned around and sat in the main seat, facing everyone. The entire chamber was silent, and the servants were frightened and panicked. Maurice was in pain and twisted his facial features, leaning on his crutch and trying to stand up, but couldn't help becoming angry before he could speak. However, before Maurice could start cursing, Leon sat in the main seat and raised his hand to point to Godfrey, who was in the corner, saying, "I don't want to do everything myself, so from now on, I'll let you, Godfrey, take over for me." Godfrey's body tightened, and he was instantly suffocated. Leon waved his hand and said, "This is an order!" Godfrey's scalp went numb, and he didn't dare to disobey in the slightest, quickly moving forward. Maurice was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, "Leon, what do you mean by this?" Leon's expression was stern as he gestured, "I've already made myself clear. I don't mind taking drastic measures. Today, I, Leo

    The Arrision Family Trading Company has numerous projects, and all of the servant families present are involved in them. Without the commercial projects allocated by the company, these servant families would not have their current wealth and status. However, due to the long-standing vacancy of the chairman position, the company's financial accounts have been fully controlled by Maurice, who reports directly to the Arrision Family in Panama. Whether there are any discrepancies in the accounts can only be verified by personal investigation. Therefore, when Leon demanded an audit, the group of servants around him all had their faces turn pale with fear. Maurice was scared out of his wits, having just escaped one crisis, only to be hit head-on by another! As the vice president of the company, Maurice has taken advantage of his position for personal gain over the years. Almost every year, the accounts he reported to the Arrision Family were fabricated. The vast majority of the

    Silence, a deathly silence. Everyone present was trembling with fear. Especially the words spoken by Leon, each one struck at the heart. What should be done? Should the investigation into the accounts continue? These simple questions rendered Leon's tactics in full display, leaving no one with the courage to answer! And this silence, along with Leon's gaze, was even more terrifying. One minute, two minutes, three minutes. Time passed by, and the fear only grew stronger. It lasted for a full five minutes before Someone couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy. "Young master, spare us!" "We beg of you, please don't continue the investigation!" "As long as you give us a chance, We will swear to serve you faithfully and fulfill our duties as your servants!" The scene was shocking, with the sound of begging for mercy ringing in everyone's ears. Ada's Lewis stood beside Leon, witnessing everything with a calm exterior, but his heart was already in turmoil, completely convinc

    That night, Leon stayed overnight at the Chamber of Commerce. Due to the death of Maurice, the position of vice president was left vacant, which was indispensable for the Chamber of Commerce. For this reason, Ada's Lewis specially listed a list neatly placed in front of Leon. Leon sat in the office, picked up the list on the desk, and carefully examined it. On this list were all first-line families, second only to the Abel family in Oz, and had a significant reputation throughout Spring Province. Ada's Lewis asked softly, "Young Master, the position of the vice president is a major event for the Chamber of Commerce. We cannot be hasty. After seeing this list, what is your opinion?" Leon put down the list, crossed his arms, and leaned back in his chair, revealing a smile: "Most of the servant families on this list have comparable strengths. If I make a personal decision, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble or internal imbalances. Therefore, the best way is to transfo

    The Oz Adam's family was already quite strong. Especially in the Arrision's Chamber of Commerce, the status of the Oz Charlton family is second only to the Oz Abel family! Now that Maurice I has completely fallen, and the entire Abel family has been implicated, the Charlton family should take advantage of the trend! There is at least a 70% chance of winning this election, and the Charlton family is sure to win the position of vice president. Amy, as the wife of the Charlton family in Oz, naturally felt contemptuous of her relatives in Cuba, and she had gradually alienated them many years ago. If it wasn't for the young master's approval of the Adams family in Cuba at the chamber of commerce yesterday, Amy wouldn't want to come to Cuba to meet these low-level relatives at all! A mere William, in Amy's view, is worthless, and it's far from it. "You Adam's family in Cuba, don't think that being praised by the young master can make you defiant." "In the servant family, there is

    Faced with this situation, Amy was caught off guard. Emerald's fiance turned out to be the young master of the Arrision family! These relatives whom she looked down upon the most had risen to great heights. Most importantly, she had accused the young master of impersonating someone in front of him. Amy never dreamed that she would make such a big mistake, and even worse, she did it under the banner of the Charlton family of Oz, which resulted in her immediate disqualification from the vice president election. This consequence would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the entire Charlton family of Oz. After hanging up the phone, Emily couldn't help but laugh out loud: " Amy, now it's your turn to be embarrassed. You think you're the wife of the Charlton family, and you're pretending to be high and mighty in front of us, looking down on people." Lux also felt a sense of satisfaction from head to toe for the first time, riding on the coattails of Leon's fame, and experiencing what it

    At the same time, Adeline was in Cuba and had been in the hospital due to her previous burn injuries. She had just learned about yesterday's incident. "What? Avril, are you sure you're not mistaken?" "That wild seed, Leon, actually...did that to Maurice." "I thought Leon would be suppressed by Maurice when he entered the Chamber of Commerce, but the opposite happened?" Adeline was stunned in the hospital bed, looking incredulous. Avril looked embarrassed and couldn't help but suggest giving up: "Mom, why don't we just forget about it? Leon is not someone who can be described by common sense. If we continue to develop this, we might end up in the same situation one day." Adeline slapped the bed and pointed to the burn on her body, cursing: "Look at what Adeline has done to me since l came to Cuba. How can l just give up and run back to Panama with my tail between my legs? How can I face myself in the future?" Avril's expression was filled with helplessness: "But we can't do any

    That night, Adelins returned to her residence and immediately flew into a rage. "Avril, you useless thing!" "Why did you have to plead with Leon? You have completely embarrassed me." "Most importantly, Leon was just teasing us, and you believed him!" Avril shrunk her neck and cowered like a quail, getting scolded so badly that she didn't dare to argue back. Seeing Avril's appearance, Adeline became even more furious. She wanted to hit her, but couldn't bring herself to do it. Instead, she stomped her foot and transferred all her anger onto Leon, continuing to curse him out. "It's all because of that wild bastard Leon. If he didn't exist, we wouldn't have SO much trouble!" For Adeline, the situation had become extremely unfavorable. The reason was simple. Although Audrey, was ashamed and angry about the matter, she didn't outright refuse. This was a subtle move, and there might still be room for negotiation. Who knows, Audrey might even end up falling in love with Leon. Aft

    Once she nodded in agreement and willingly became Leon's concubine, no matter from which perspective, the Haggard family would be admitting the difference in status between the two families, which would make the prestige of the family more deeply rooted and cause the Haggard's family to be subject to the Arrision family. However, if she reneged on the spot and announced the cancellation of the marriage, the future of the Haggard's family would inevitably be stagnant and difficult to make progress and ultimately would be left behind by the Arrision family. It had to be said that Leon's move was extremely ingenious and brilliant. Audrey was originally a proud daughter of heaven, but she had never encountered someone of the same age who had such means. What was even more unbelievable to Audrey was that even knowing Leon's methods, she could not think of a way to break the deadlock, which was simply unimaginable. As Audrey was dumbfounded, the steward Haley beside her was alread

    Facing Leon's attitude, Audrey was caught off guard. As the heir of the Haggard family, she was always respectful towards anyone in front of her. However, Leon was different! "Although the Arrision family is the first family in Narnia, if we look at the overall situation and foundation, the Haggard family is not inferior!" "As we have already agreed on the marriage, we should be aware of the pros and cons. We should be cautious in our Words and actions. If we cause the relationship between us to fall into a deadlock again, can you bear the responsibility?" "Perhaps you, Leon, are not to be offended in the eyes of others, but it is not the case for me, Audrey!" As Audrey spoke, her momentum suddenly changed, instantly suppressing the whole scene with her imposing manner. Haley covered his face and felt relieved. He thought that Miss was indeed a talented woman. In terms of tactics, Leon was not her match. Today, Leon, the young master, was bound to be humiliated. On the other side

    Adeline had great confidence in this marriage alliance. Once the marriage failed, Leon's position would not be guaranteed, and he might even be expelled from the Arrision family. At that time, no one could stop Avril from smoothly inheriting the family business. As expected, even the calm and composed Audrey couldn't help but be surprised when he learned about Emerald's existence and Leonard attitude. Haley, who was standing next to him, was even more furious and kept speaking out. "This marriage alliance is of great importance. As the young master, Leon is so impulsive!" "What a waste of my lady's efforts to come to Cuba. Is this what your Arrision family means by sincerity? Or is your Arrision family deliberately playing with people?" Adeline couldn't help feeling proud, but still pretended to be apologetic and said, "Please rest assured, Haggard family. As an elder, I have an unshrinkable responsibility in this matter. I will make Leon agree." Audrey frowned slightly a

    On that day, Leon received a call from Ada's Lewis. In the call, Ada's Lewis solemnly stated that the engagement between the two major families had been agreed upon, which would have a significant impact. Most importantly, Audrey would arrive in Cuba tonight to meet in the name of the family alliance. The old lady instructed that Leon must personally attend and not allow any mistakes to occur. In addition, the old lady also instructed Leon to settle things with Emerald as soon as possible. Leon had no response to this. Everything was within his expectations. The engagement between the two major families was a huge matter involving countless interests, and the old lady could not afford to make any mistakes. Unfortunately, Leon was not someone who would blindly follow orders and accept everything that was thrown at him. Time passed quickly, and it was now nighttime. The Cuba Grand Hotel appeared particularly solemn, with over a hundred bodyguards surrounding it, closely monito
