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, Leon, must set an example. Ada's Lewis, bring your gun!" Ada's Lewis composed himself and held his breath. On the way here, he had repeatedly reminded Leon to be cautious, but he had never imagined that things would develop to this point.

Most importantly, even though things had come to this, Leon still had complete control over the situation and was not at a disadvantage. To put it bluntly, if Maurice were to die here today, it would be justified!

Thinking of this, Ada's Lewis couldn't help but be shocked and secretly praised the young master for his decisive actions. He had been too cautious and afraid of the Consequences.

So, Ada's Lewis eased his expression and took out his gun, which he carried with him, and respectfully handed it to Leon.

Leon took the gun and weighed it in his hand before throwing it in front of Godfrey's feet, saying, "You can take action now." Godfrey, with a pale face, had to follow the instructions, picked up the gun from the ground, loaded it, and tremblingly aimed it at Maurice's forehead.

Although he felt a sense of pleasure, he also felt uneasy. Before Leon arrived, Maurice was a highly respected figure. But now, where was his previous arrogance? Maurice's hair stood on end, and he was suddenly frightened and stuttered, "You, you, you..."

"Aspen, I am just following the young master's orders," Godfrey's heart was pounding. He knew that if he fired this shot, the relationship between Adam's family in Cuba and the young master would be closely linked.

In addition, he could completely make up for his previous mistakes. This was indeed an opportunity given by Leon!

Because Leon, although he was the young master, was ultimately alone in his power. So what Leon had to do was not just to establish his authority, but to use every opportunity to build his power!

Facing the threat of the gun, Maurice finally couldn't resist the collapse of his heart. He dropped his crutch to the ground, sat down with a thump, and said, "Leon, don't do this. I was wrong this time. Give me a chance!" Leon narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Godfrey took a few steps forward and aimed the gun at Maurice again, his eyes gradually changing.

Maurice was terrified and almost collapsed, shouting, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die. Leon, I beg you. I promise that I will never do this again. I promise that you will have full control of the entire business association from now on."

Under such circumstances, all the servants around were already frightened. Who would have thought that Maurice, such a prominent figure, would also beg for mercy at gunpoint?

And who would have thought that Leon was so powerful that he dared to kill anyone? This strong authority had already invisibly surged into people's hearts, causing extreme fear.

Just then, Leon slowly raised his hand, interrupting Godfrey's actions, and said with a smile, "I can give you a chance. If you serve me tea and apologize in front of everyone, I can give you a chance. How about it?" This statement shocked the audience once again.

After all, Leon was inferior to Maurice in seniority from beginning to end. Even if he didn't serve tea to Maurice, he couldn't let Maurice serve tea to him and apologize! However, Leon did it and directly retaliated.

Maurice pointed to his face with his backhand, "You want me to serve you tea?" "If you're not willing, then don't expect to get any chances from me. Don't even think that you can order me around just because of your seniority. I, Leon, don't care who you are when I do things!" Leon's words were powerful and unstoppable. Maurice swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Even though he was extremely aggrieved, he had to prioritize his life.

He didn't care about losing face and quickly got up tremblingly, pouring a cup of hot tea and bringing it to Leon's front with both hands. Only then did Leon show a satisfied smile, taking a sip of the tea from Maurice's cup.

Seeing this scene, Maurice couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as he was still alive, he would have plenty of opportunities to teach Leon a lesson in the future.

Leon smiled and said, "If you had done this earlier, it wouldn't have turned out like this." "It was my fault just now. I didn't follow the rules of the Chamber of Commerce," Maurice cursed Leon in his heart hundreds of times. Leon spoke solemnly, "I've given you a chance, but remember, I only give one chance, never a second one!" Maurice gritted his teeth and nodded, "Yes, I promise there won't be a next time." Leon scanned the room and slowly stood up from his seat.

Just when everyone thought Leon was going to leave the Chamber of Commerce and they could relax, his next words shocked them once again. "Just now was just a small incident.

Now, I'm going to start doing real business. Immediately hand over the Chamber of Commerce accounts to me. All servant families must check the accounts, including the Abel family in Oz."

"If there's anything wrong with the accounts, or if anyone has embezzled the Chamber of Commerce's profits, they will be immediately expelled from the Chamber of Commerce and removed from the servant community and will bear all consequences. Those who are seriously guilty will be executed on the spot!"

"Until I have checked the accounts, no one is allowed to leave!" In an instant, many servant families trembled and their faces changed dramatically. Especially Maurice, who had just calmed down, was now trembling with fear, cursing that something big was going to happen. Godfrey stood still, looking at Leon on the main seat, realizing that his previous worries were unnecessary.

The young master's methods were impeccable. Ada's Lewis came back to his senses and realized that Leon was not just being strong, but had already been planning step by step. "All of you, follow the young master's orders!"

    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

    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.

    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

    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
