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 convinced by Leon's methods!

However, even Ada's Lewis couldn't figure out what Leon's next move would be in this situation and couldn't help but be curious. So, Ada's Lewis bent down slightly and asked in a soft voice, "Young master, what do you think?" "I'm thirsty, pour me a cup of tea." Leon deliberately kept them in suspense. Without hesitation, Ada's Lewis immediately poured tea for Leon with great respect.

All eyes were now on Leon, waiting for his answer. But he remained calm and slowly savored the tea, torturing everyone with his deliberate slowness. In the end, Leon finally finished his tea and slowly put down the teacup on the table.

Then Leon sat in the main seat and looked around the room before saying, "I did say earlier that I would only give one chance, but I don't know if anyone will take it as an opportunity to take a chance." As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room was moved, and everyone spoke up at once.

"Young Master, we will never take any chances. We are grateful for your forgiveness and not reporting us to the Arrision family. This is a great kindness to us!" "That's right, we are grateful to you and will work even harder for you in the future, without hesitation!"

"Young Master's great kindness, we will never forget it. No matter what task we are given, we will obey!" Leon pressed his hand down to suppress the noise around him, his expression still stern, and said in a deep voice,

"I can let this matter go and not report it to the Arrision family, but I will seal all the accounts here. If I find out that anyone dares to commit the same mistake or violate the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, I, Leon, will show no mercy!" Maurice swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his desperate face suddenly relaxed.

He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Leon, thank you so much for this!" Leon moved his gaze away and fell on Maurice's face. Suddenly, he turned the conversation around and asked, "Why are you thanking me?" Maurice quickly expressed his gratitude, "You have already made your position clear, so l naturally have to thank you. I was wrong just now. I was arrogant in front of you because of my seniority and ignored the rules of the Arrision family. But now I have figured it out. The Abel family in Oz will respect the Young Master and fully support him in running the Chamber of Commerce!"

However, Leon's next sentence shocked everyone once again. "I'm sorry, the chance l just gave was for the servant family, not for the Abel family in Oz. Because the chance for the Abel family in Oz has already been used up, and I, Leon, don't need the support of the Abel family in Oz!" The entire Chamber of Commerce was in an uproar, even more intense than an earthquake!

All the servants were dumbfounded. The opportunity that Leon gave did not include the Abel family from Oz! Maurice tensed up: "Didn't you just include me in what you said?" Leon rebuked without hesitation: "Do you think I would include the Oz Abel family and their servants together? Moreover, the Oz Abel family is not within the scope of the servant family.

They have committed such a serious mistake and should be punished as a warning to others. Otherwise, what is the point of rules?" Ada's Lewis timely interjected: "Young Master, how do you plan to deal with this?" Leon said:

"Starting today, we will liquidate the Oz Abel family, confiscate all their property, and hand it over to the Arrision's Chamber of Commerce. As for the main culprit, Maurice, there will be no mercy. He will be punished on the spot!" Liquidate and confiscate!!

Isn't this...raiding their home?!

At this moment, Maurice was completely stunned, unable to say a word, and his despair was beyond Words. He regretted it to the point of being green with regret!

With a click, Godfrey was quick to act, swiftly loading his gun and pointing it at Maurice's head, asking for instructions: "Please give your orders, Young Master!"

"Kill!" Leon waved his hand, showing no mercy or kindness in his eyes, but rather a terrifying calmness. Before Maurice could plead for mercy again, a gunshot rang out, resounding through the air.

Bang!

His head exploded, blood splattering everywhere. Maurice's body fell to the ground with a thud, motionless. All the servants were suffocating and horrified. Leon slowly stood up, pointed at Maurice's body, and said calmly: "This is the best example. I hope everyone present can remember it well. Don't think that you can get away with anything just because of your connections. Your fate will only be more miserable." After speaking, Leon walked straight out, leaving Ada's Lewis to handle the aftermath.

Half an hour later, in the office of the Chamber of Commerce, Ada's Lewis knocked on the door and reported, "Young Master, everything has been taken care of. Your instructions have been conveyed, and under the leadership of the Chamber of Commerce, all the assets of the Abel family in Oz will be handed over smoothly in a few days."

"Well done," Leon praised with a nod. Ada's Lewis became worried again and asked, "Young Master, the relationship between Maurice and the Old Lady is not simple. Will what you did today cause any trouble?"

"Don't worry too much. The Abel family in Oz was in the wrong from the beginning, and no one could speak up for them. What I did today, no one can say anything about it, unless...someone is not afraid of death!" Leon shook his head.

"But the Old Lady is not happy about it!" Ada's Lewis wiped the Sweat from his forehead. Leon stood with his hands behind his back and explained, "Let's be frank.

From the moment I stepped into the Chamber of Commerce, Maurice was doomed and could not survive. As for those servants, of course, they have to stay. Without the backbone of the Chamber of Commerce, there will undoubtedly be a crisis of collapse."

"As for my grandmother, this is the second gift I have given her so that she can feel the grievances that my mother and I have suffered over the years. If things get out of hand, I, Leon, don't mind accompanying her to the end!"

    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. The Cuba Grand Hotel appeared particularly solemn, with over a hundred bodyguards surrounding it, closely monito

    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

    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

    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.
