Time passed by in the blink of an eye, and half a month had already gone by. During this period, the influence of the New Forest Chamber of Commerce continued to expand rapidly.

Almost all the local families in Panama Province joined the New Forest Chamber of Commerce in order to gain resources and seize opportunities.

The speed of this expansion was truly

astonishing. Even the servant families

of the clan in the neighboring provinces of Diva and Shine had received the news and were greatly shaken.

When Linton returned from the New Forest Chamber of Commerce, he immediately conveyed the specific

news to Leo. "Young master, things

are not looking good. The chairmen of

the Diva and Shine clan chambers of commerce have both

come to visit today. Leon's momentum is now unstoppable!" Upon hearing this news, Leo's face turned pale with anger and frustration. The Diva and Shine chambers of commerce were a significant presence within the clan. If the two chairmen chose to align themselves

with Leon's faction, it would only

further expand his influence and make

the situation even more unfavorable.

Leo was in a state of urgency and couldn't suppress his emotions. He was about to rush out of the door when Linton stopped him and advised, "Young master, you must not go out easily. You are a priceless asset,

and if you are injured even slightly, it

will be a big loss for us!" "But..." Leo was gnashing his teeth

in frustration. Linton said, "I have an idea. Since the two presidents are visiting in person, it must be a big event. Why not let Madam and Miss go with your message to stir things up?"

"This way, there may be a chance for a

breakthrough, but we must not let

anyone know that you are actually

under house arrest!" Linton

finished, his face looking strange.

"That seems feasible. After all, my

mother and Avril have been unable

to hold back for the past half month. It

is indeed time for them to release

some news," Leo nodded and

picked up the phone.

On the other side, the entire Chamber of Commerce appeared

particularly grand at the moment. Leon stood at the entrance of the

Chamber of Commerce with all the

servants, patiently waiting for the two

presidents.

Freya whispered in Leon's ear,

"Young Master, everything has been

arranged. Linton will

definitely make Leo do what you

want!"

Leon nodded slightly, "Yes, Linton is obedient enough. There is still nearly half a year before the old

lady's 80th birthday. I have to make

good use of it. If it's too plain, it will be

boring."

"Young Master is brilliant. Indeed, only

by doing this can you continuously

expand your influence!" Freya

was extremely admiring in his heart. He

worshipped the Young Master's

methods unconditionally, regarding

him as a god.

Just then, a fleet of luxury cars arrived

like a long dragon. The scene was

shocking and full of powerful

momentum. The entire staff held their

breath and tensed up at the sight. With

the convoy stopping, a large number of

bodyguards landed first, forming a

neat formation.

Until the end, a middle-aged couple

with smiling faces stepped off the car,

who were the presidents of two

chambers of commerce in Diva and Shine provinces, Caleb and Luca. Most importantly, this couple were also Leon's aunt and uncle. However, Leon didn't care much about this so-called family relationship because they had been strangers to each other for so many years. "Both of you came here specially, and the new Chamber of Commerce will surely flourish," Leon said with a courteous smile. As soon as Leon finished speaking, Caleb stepped forward quickly and grabbed Leon's arms, looking him up and down several times, even slightly teary-eyed. "You've grown up so much since we last met so many years ago! I miss you so much, nephew! If it weren't for your uncle and me being tied up with the affairs of the two chambers of commerce in different places, I would have come to see you earlier!" This sudden affectionate behavior made Leon stunned and surprised. "When you were born, your aunt and I secretly came to Cuba to visit you and Aspen many times. However,

we were discovered later and were ordered by the old lady not to come again or have any contact with you, otherwise we would be expelled from the Arrision family. I didn't expect that it has been so many years since we last met,"

Luca said with emotion. Leon was amazed by this unexpected revelation. "I didn't know that such a thing happened so many years ago."

"At that time, I pleaded with your grandmother countless times, but she refused to let us see you. Your father was also useless and made me so angry!" Caleb said, getting angrier as she spoke. Luca sighed several times. "But

now everything has changed. It's also

thanks to God that you and your mother have finally turned the corner:" Leon felt warm in his heart. "| didn't

expect such a thing to happen. It seems that I have been too biased against the people of the Arrision family."

"Don't treat us like those people. Anyway, Auntie has made it clear today that no matter what happens, she will

stand by you. If she had persisted a little more back then, maybe... maybe you wouldn't have suffered so much!"

Caleb said, her voice choking up. "Leon, how is your mother now? How is her health?" Luca asked with Concern.

Leon shook his head. "She just had heart surgery a few days ago. Her health is almost fully recovered, but she's an old person. Even if her health is good, it's not that great."

Caleb couldn't help but curse, "Your mother has suffered too much. Your father is heartless. I haven't spoken to him for over ten years just to give your mother some face. Especially that Adeline's, I can't stand her insidiousness!" "Okay, since you've both come, don't just stand outside with me. Let's go inside and talk," Leon quickly invited

them in, feeling a bit touched. Just as everyone was about to enter, Adeline and her daughter arrived. "Why didn't you say hello to me, the host of Cuba, when you came?" Adelines, with Avril by her side, walked over confidently, unable to Conceal her pride in her eyes. Caleb frowned in disgust. "Why should I say hello to you? Now that Leon has finally returned, you'd better calm down!" "Big sister, Leon is just a wild seed after all. Why do you always favor him? You even almost fell out with the old lady because of him. Is my son, Adelines son, not a member of the Arrision family? Is he not your nephew?" Adeline's narrowed her eyes. Caleb sternly said, "Leo is indeed my nephew, but he has been living a privileged life since childhood. What kind of life has Leon had? Besides, the most important thing is that Leo is no longer with us." Adeline smiled instead of getting angry, her mouth curling up in a triumphant manner.

"What if Leo didn't die?"

    "My brother Leo never died from the beginning to the end!" "Now he is in Cuba!" "With my brother Leo here, how could this wild seed have a chance? In front of everyone, Adeline had no more cover, and blurted out loudly, as if the winner had arrived. Avril stood by, looking smug, exuding a false sense of power. In an instant, there was an uproar. Anyone who heard that Leo was not dead was incredulous. Especially Stevin and Luca the couple's faces changed dramatically! Stevin quickly shook her head: "This is impossible!" "Leo had an accident overseas a long time ago. For such a long time, there has been no news. Everyone has already assumed the outcome. How could he suddenly appear in Cuba?" Luca held his breath. If Leo had come back from the dead, it would be a devastating blow to Leon! Adeline raised her chin and said confidently, "If you don't believe it, you can wait for Linton to arrive and ask him in person whether it's true or not." Avril echoed

    Facing the gaze of the entire audience, Adeline became extremely anxious. Without hesitation, she dialed Leo's phone and put it on speakerphone. Immediately, Leo's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Mom, how did things go?" "They know I'm still alive, aren't they surprised?" "ls Leo's expression ugly now?" As the voice echoed around, the people present turned pale again. "Did you hear that? That's my son Leo's voice!" Adeline immediately raised the phone as if holding a token of the emperor, with a domineering and imposing manner. Avril also proudly echoed, "I don't think you have anything to say now!" Stevin and Luca couldn't help but feel surprised and couldn't speak for a while. In an instant, the surroundings fell into silence. Adelin's smile deepened, deliberately staring at Leon's eyes, and then said in a strange tone to the phone, "Leo, do you know what the situation is here now?" "That bastard Leon actually bought off Linton, telling lies wi

    "Leo, what's going on?" "Why did you hang up the phone and not come to the New Forest Chamber of Commerce in person?" "Are you hiding something or did Leon catch you in a compromising position?" Adeline was extremely anxious and repeatedly questioned Leo over the phone, in front of Avril. Leo was extremely frustrated on the other end of the phone, but he couldn't bring himself to tell Adeline and her daughter the truth. He didn't want the entire Arrision family to know that he had been played by Leon to such an extent. So, Leo had to maintain his Composure and put on a show, explaining forcefully, "Actually, I've known all along that Leon bought off Linton. Leon wants to use this to delay the situation and cover up the truth that l'm still alive. He said he cared about it a lot, so I went along with his plan and turned the tables on him!" Adeline was taken aback. "Turn the tables on him?" Avril was so anxious that she was about to lose her mind. "Brother, at this

    Not long after the reception of the Chamber of Commerce ended, Leon and his team arrived at the medical center. After this period of rest, Adeline's condition had almost recovered, and she could already get out of bed and walk around. However, due to the tense situation, for safety reasons, Adeline's range of activity was also very small, limited to within the medical center. When she saw Leon leading Stevin and Luca walking into the medical center gate, Adeline's, who was wearing a patient's gown, was stunned for a moment, and then a strong surprise appeared on her face as she walked up to them quickly. "Sister!" Adeline grabbed Stevin's hands. "Adeline, I didn't expect that after so many years, you still recognize me as your sister!" Stevin's eyes were red and she felt heartbroken. For this long-awaited reunion, Adeline couldn't help but shed tears of gratitude and said, "If it weren't for you guys back then, secretly coming to Cuba to help us, I and Leon pr

    "Yes, you are so annoying!" "Don't think that just because you helped me out of good will, I will be grateful to you. From beginning to end, I, Leon, have never asked for your help, nor do I need it!" "So, please don't be presumptuous!" Leon picked up his teacup, his expression becoming extremely cold. Audrey stood still, feeling as if he had been struck a heavy blow. His face couldn't help but turn pale, and his emotions were fluctuating violently. Finally, Audrey's eyes turned red, tears welling up in them as he looked at Leon with resentment and said, "Fine, I'll leave Cuba tonight and go back to Panama to cancel the engagement. From now on, you and | have nothing to do with each other." "l couldn't ask for more!" Leon nodded. "Don't regret it." Audrey clenched his fists, his nails digging into his flesh. "I have no reason to regret it. This is exactly what I wanted." Leon calmly sipped his hot tea. "Okay, that's what you said!" Audrey

    The next day, Audrey left early and arrived at the Chamber of Commerce once again. As soon as she arrived at the gate, she saw a row of specialized chamber of commerce cars, which was quite imposing. "Freya, what!'s going on here?" Audrey quickly walked up and grabbed Freya. "Miss Audrey, didn't you leave Cuba already?" Freya was taken aback. "I was just angry last night. f I really left Cuba, wouldn't Leon have won over me?" Audrey raised her chin slightly. "I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily. Since he wants to rack his brains to drive me away, then I'll stay here and make him regret it." Freya couldn't help but smile wryly. "It seems that Miss Audrey still cares about our young master. I thought you would have left already." Audrey made a strange expression and pursed her lips. "I did plan to leave, but then I thought about it carefully. I can't be so embarrassed. Otherwise, what's the difference between leaving in a panic?" Freya sighed helplessly. "Act

    Facing Leon's dominance, Audrey was helpless. Especially when Leon started hitting him in front of Freya, he showed no mercy. Leon swung his big hand, causing Audrey to feel extreme pain, as if his butt was blooming like a flower, making a loud sound. Audrey was in a mess, unable to resist the pain that Swept over him. He was crying on the spot, feeling both innocent and ashamed, wishing he could find a hole to hide in. "You can't do this, young master!" Freya saw that things were not going well and quickly stepped forward to stop Leon. But Leon pushed Freya away and continued to beat Audrey recklessly. "Leon, you are not human!" Audrey's face was full of resentment. Leon suddenly increased his strength and said, "If that's the case, then don't treat me like a human being." "l just told you that I came to the New Forest Chamber of Commerce on behalf of the Haggard family to express our stance. By beating me like this, you are undoubtedly destroying the relationship between us!

    After finishing the call, Audrey felt extremely aggrieved. She was the most innocernt one this time, but it seemed like she had done something wrong! What was even more unacceptable was that Mac had emphasized three times on the phone just now that she must change her previous behavior and be a submissive woman in front of Leon in the future! This was simply outrageous! In addition, in order to restore the reputation of the Haggard's family, Mac had specially arranged for someone to come to Cuba for several days. This person was none other than the vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, Mac's right-hand man, Bailey! Bailey's position within the Haggard's family was second to none, highly respected, and even known as "Master Bailey". Even Audrey had to behave like a junior in front of Bailey and not act recklessly! "I can't believe that Master Bailey has to come to Cuba this time." "Once Master Bailey arrives, won't I be unable to say anything in front of Le

    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
