Son-in-law of Fortune

CHAPTER 32

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 muttered to himself, "The young master is going to suffer a big loss this time!" As expected, Maurice's face immediately darkened.

However, instead of leaving his seat, he sat up straight and sternly said, "If I want to sit in this position, who can drive me away? Even if your father came, he Would have to call me uncle. You, a young junior, dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me? Do you think that becoming the president of the Chamber of Commerce means that people will listen to you?"

"I'll be frank here. If you want to become the president steadily and surely, you cannot do it without my approval. If I don't loosen my grip, no one will recognize you!" These few short sentences were full of momentum, highlighting Maurice's powerful position and strong sense of dominance. It seemed that he was determined to make Leon bow his head and respectfully serve tea.

As Maurice spoke, the entire room fell silent, with not a single servant daring to make a sound. Seeing that things were not going his way, Ada's Lewis was about to speak up, but Leon suddenly reached out to stop him. Then, Leon walked up to Maurice and said, "Could it be that this so-called business association does not belong to the Arrision family, but to your Abel family?" Maurice responded confidently,

"The business association naturally belongs to the Arrision family, but my Abel family and the Arrision family are closely connected. We have made many contributions to the Arrision family over the years. As the young master of the Arrision family, you have taken over the business association this time, so I must supervise it to ensure the success of the Arrision family."

"But you are not a member of the Arrision family, just a distant relative. You are not a true member of the Arrision family. I will give you face and call you 'uncle', but if you do not give me face, then you are nothing. Even if you want to supervise, it is not your place to do so, and you do not need my approval. Instead, I will punish you!" Leon's words were shocking.

Maurice was first stunned, then laughed out loud, "Punish me?" Before Maurice could react, in front of everyone's eyes, Leon suddenly raised his hand and slapped Maurice across the face.

Smack!

The sound of the slap echoed throughout the room, and everyone's eyes widened in shock. Leon's voice thundered, "This slap is punishment for your arrogance as a contributor." As soon as he finished speaking, Leon backhanded Maurice with another slap.

"This slap is punishment for your rudeness as a guest!" Maurice was caught off guard and took another hit, leaving him dumbfounded.

"This slap is punishment for your failure to follow the rules!" Leon's face was cold, and his eyes were frighteningly firm as he raised his hand again and struck Maurice in the face. "You've gone too far, you bastard!

How dare you hit even your uncle!" Maurice was furious, holding his face and brandishing his cane as if he was about to strike back. Without any hesitation, Leon grabbed his cane and mercilessly slapped Maurice's face, leaving a clear handprint. He said in a deep voice, "This slap is for your arrogance and Conceit!"

Maurice was so angry that his beard was crooked, and he tried to stand up with all his might, shouting, "You bastard!" At this critical moment, Leon struck again, pressing him firmly in his seat and saying, "As a mere vice president, you dare to sit in the president's seat and act so brazenly. This slap is for your disrespect!"

Slap!

Several slaps in a row left Maurice's face swollen. The servants and family members around were shocked and dared not believe what they were seeing. They hurriedly stepped forward to stop Leon. Leon suddenly turned his head, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, revealing a murderous intent.

"Get out of here!"

In an instant, everyone was intimidated and dared not move. "You ungrateful scum! Today's score between us is not settled yet!" Maurice's mouth twitched. "The Abel family owes everything to the Harrison family. As the young master, you should show respect to the Harrison family. Instead, you are disrespectful and even threaten to settle scores with me. Today, I will settle this score with you!" Leon was as cold as an iceberg and completely ignored Maurice's anger.

He grabbed his collar and slapped him in the face. The sound of slapping was endless. For every word Maurice said, he received a slap without mercy. Godfrey witnessed everything and was stunned. He never expected Maurice to be beaten so badly!

Ada's Lewis stood behind Leon and also felt incredulous. He saw Maurice's face, which was beaten until blood came out, and quickly took a few steps forward to signal, "Young Master, you can't continue to hit him.

Someone will die if you do. After all, he's old." Leon said, "Did I say today that I would let him live?" The whole room fell silent upon hearing this. Maurice stared, "How dare you?"

"You can try and see if I dare to kill you right here and right now!" Leon's killing intent flashed.

"I, I, I.. l am your uncle and your elder!" Maurice gasped for cold air. Leon's aura was overwhelming, and he said coldly,

"Everything is mutual. Since I came in, I have never felt that you, as an elder, have acted accordingly. Therefore, I don't need to treat you as my elder."

"Moreover, I, Leon, don't mind telling you the truth. In my more than 20 years of life, you so-called elders are Worthless in my eyes!" Maurice couldn't help but panic and said urgently, "Aren't you afraid of your grandmother finding out?" Leon sneered, "Sorry, I deliberately want my grandmother to know."

"Because as the Young Master, if I am easily held down and act without my judgment, I will be weak and incompetent in the future. How can I take on the great cause of the Arrision family?"

"So my current actions just happen to meet my grandmother's requirements. I think she should be happy, even if you die here today." As soon as the words were spoken, Leon's mouth curled up, and he slapped Maurice hard. Maurice fell to the ground with a sound, rolling down from the main seat, his face covered in blood. At this moment, the whole room was shocked!
