2025-02-17 16:30:39Faced with this situation, Adeline couldn't believe it and her face was full of reluctance. Leon, this wild bastard, actually wanted her to kneel down in front of him, which was clearly a great humiliation!
Lior squeezed his eyebrows and winked, "Adeline, what are you still standing there for?" Adeline was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off, but she also understood Lior's intentions. Leon sat in the main seat, his gaze deep and scrutinizing Adeline. "I advise you all to be more sober now. Who is the one in control now?" Seeing that there was no other way out, Adeline had to grit her teeth and kneel down on the ground with a mixture of humiliation and anger. "Leon, I beg you to spare Leo's life and let him go. I can guarantee that the Arrision family will not compete with you in the future," Adeline trembled. However, seeing this scene, Leon still did not show a satisfied smile. Instead, he shook his head slowly and said, "As I said earlier, Leo's life is very valuable, and it cannot be easily satisfied with just one or two conditions." Adelinw raised her head suddenly, unable to help but become angry and curse in her heart. This was clearly taking advantage of the situation. Lior quickly interjected, "Leon, what other conditions do you have?" "It's simple. If you want Leo to be safe and sound, you need to exchange him for Avril's life!" Leon said lightly. "What?" Avril trembled all over, almost scared out of her wits. Adeline, who was kneeling on the ground, was also stunned by this outrageous demand. Lior was so angry that his eyes almost burst into flames. "Leon, you are clearly making things difficult for me!" Leon said lightly, "Lior, don't think that I don't know what game you're playing with me, and don't try to be clever with me." Lior's face turned pale. In fact, from the beginning, his claim to no longer compete and to hand over the Arrision family business was a strategy of retreat as a means of advancing. Even making Adeline kneel was all to exchange for Leo's safety. After all, as long as Leo didn't die, there Would always be a chance to turn the tables. But Leon's conditions undoubtedly saw through everything and forcefully broke this strategy of retreat as a means of advancing! It must be said that Leon's various methods were impeccable, playing people in the palm of his hand. Leon said without hesitation, "| can give you time to consider this matter. In my opinion, it's better to set it before the old lady's 80th birthday. If you haven't made a decision before that day, Leo...will die!" Half an hour later, they left the Chamber of Commerce. Lior's expression was extremely gloomy, and his face was so tense that he couldn't speak. "This damn bastard!" Adeline's eyes were full of resentment, almost hysterical. "Grandpa, are you really going to use my life to exchange for my brother's life?" Avril grabbed Lior tremblingly, her face as white as paper. Lior sneered and remained silent. "Grandpa, you can't treat me like this. I'm still your granddaughter. How can you do this to me?" Avril was completely panicked. Seeing this situation, Lior couldn't help but sigh, "lt seems that this time, I really underestimated Leon's methods. When I declared in front of him that I would no longer compete, I was planning to find an opportunity, but I didn't expect that Leon would block my path in an instant and throw the problem on my head, letting me make the choice myself!" "Grandpa, what do you really think?" Avril was sweating profusely, like a frightened rabbit. "There's still time before the old lady's 80th birthday, isn't there? Things have come to this point, maybe there's no need to be so anxious. During this period, I will use all my connections to find out where Leo is and see if I can rescue him." Lior looked a little dejected. Adeline cursed in anger, "Avril, your grandfather was right. There is no other way now except for this plan. Leon went too far with what he did!" Avril swallowed her saliva and said, "But what if we still can't find my brother before grandma's 80th birthday? Leon said that if no decision is made before then, my brother is as god as dead!" Even Lior and Adeline couldn't answer this difficult question. The situation had completely turned around and they were now completely under Leon's control. If they couldn't find a solution, they would be defeated. "..." Avril was on the verge of a breakdown. She couldn't imagine what it would be like when that day arrived. On the other side, Leon had already returned to his office and was sitting there as if nothing had happened. Freya bowed in admiration and said, "Young Master, your methods were amazing!" "lt was expected. No need to make a fuss about it," Leon remained calm and composed. Freya laughed heartily, "Hahaha, for you it may be nothing special, but for me, it's so satisfying to see someone like Lior, who has always been high and mighty, being completely helpless in front of you." "Lior was too clever for his own good. He thought he could exchange Leo's life with this trick. Without giving him any trouble, he wouldn't know who's really in charge," Leon said as he twirled his pen in his hand. Freya asked curiously, "Young Master, what if Avril dies in the end? Will you really let Leo go? After all, by that time, the new Business Association will have grown and even surpassed the old one. Leo's life seems to be of no use." "Who said Leo's life will be useless in the end? It will be very useful, especially as a birthday gift for the old lady!" Leon's eyes flashed with cold light. Freya said, "So no matter what happens in the end, Lior and Adeline won't be able to succeed, right?" "Yes, I won't let them off so easily. As I said before, from the moment I became the young master, there's no turning back. I have no reason to show mercy to anyone, otherwise it would be the cruelest thing to do to me!" Leon's tone was sharp as a sword. "Young master, if that's the case, then I. understand what I should do next!" Frey bowed with both hands, showing utmost respect as he bent.

On that day, Lior's visit to the Chamber of Commerce resulted in a heavy blow, and with the help of Freya, the news quickly spread in all directions. Anyone who received this news was shocked and dismayed. As such a prominent figure, he was directly slapped and even received several ear slaps at the Chamber of Commerce. What was most unexpected was that Lior couldn't even let out a fart from beginning to end, which was a complete loss of face. As the news spread, the areas in both the south and north of the River that were involved with Lior's influence were shaken and even some people made a decisive choice to leave his influence and join the Chamber of Commerce. This situation caused Lior's long-standing prestige to collapse in just a few days, and the wind direction in the south and north of the River region changed drastically. Similarly, just a few days later, the two major branches of the Chamber of Commerce were established at an extremely fast pace, and a large

"Audrey, what are you still standing there for?" "Why don't you show your attitude in front of Leon, the young master of the Arrision family?" "Do you still want to act impulsively?" Ryan kept asking, making Audrey feel flustered. What's even more annoying is that Leon, sitting in his seat, didn't refuse first, but held a teacup in one hand, showing a very expectant expression, and even had a smile on his lips that was almost impossible to conceal! Outrageous! This is really outrageous! At this moment, Audrey couldn't take it anymore and erupted on the spot. "Why should I swear?" "Leon doesn't like me? I don't like him either!" "Ryan, don't always bring up the issues of the Haggard's family and put them on me!" Audrey's words were almost a scream. Ryan's face instantly turned red with embarrassment. At this moment, Leon calmly put down his teacup, patted his clothes, and stood up, sighing, "Ryan, you must have seen Audrey's attitude. How can I, Leon, be fortunate eno

"The next day, early in the morning, Freya came to Leon's office. 'Young Master, l just received news that Ryan's has left Cuba with Audrey!" Upon hearing this news, Leon did not show much surprise, but nodded slightly. Freya looked complicated but could not continue to say more, so he changed the subject: In addition to this matter, the issue of Leo has also been properly handled, ensuring that there will be no accidents. The situation in Cuba is now completely stable.' "Freya, you have been performing very well recently, which makes me very satisfied. As you said, the situation in Cuba has already stabilized. It is time for me to go and inspect the branch offices of the Chamber of Commerce." Leon's eyes showed a hint of approval. This was already planned before. Now that the two major branch offices of the Chamber of Commerce have officially been established, of course, you need to actually inspect them. But are you going to the branch first or the branch?" Freya looked curious

After leaving the train station, Leon got into Stevin's car. It must be said that Stevin's was indeed low-key. Despite her considerable wealth, she only drove a car worth just over 100,000 dollars, and her attire was plain and ordinary. If outsiders who didn't know her saw her, they would probably think that Stevin was just an ordinary middle-aged woman. Of course, what impressed Leon the most was that despite her difficult-to-hide wealth and status, Stevin managed to remain inconspicuous and keep it a secret even from Coco. On the other hand, Coco, who was Leon's cousin, sat in the car with a black face the whole time, which made Leon feel a bit helpless. Soon, the car drove into a residential area. The entire community was well-landscaped and elegantly designed, and occasionally, one could see a few luxury cars. However, in Cartel, where land was scarce and expensive, this could only be considered an ordinary residential area. Finally, under Stevin guidance, they took the

The branch was located in the center of Cartle, occupying the group's building with clear hierarchies and levels. Under the leadership of Lyrick, Leon smoothly entered the personnel department on one of the floors of the business association building and went straight to the office of the person in charge. Lyrick pulled out a document from the drawer and carefully examined it before speaking slowly, "The New Business Association is divided into more than ten departments, among which the largest are the Project Department and the Finance Department. However, these two departments are not open to just anyone. You need to have at least five years of commercial experience or family business experience." "So, apart from these two departments, you can choose any other position as long as it is not a particularly important one. As the person in charge of the personnel department, I can help you arrange it properly. However, I stilI suggest that you stay in the personnel d

At the top of the Chamber of Commerce, there was a queue of interviewees outside the president's office. Among them were all young talents and scions of prominent families from the local area of Kealonia. Lyrick had completed the interview procedures for Leon and had joined the queue, standing at the very end. As soon as he arrived, he saw a young man with a grim face coming out of the office, clearly having failed the interview. When the interviewees recognized the young man's face, they were all shocked. "Even Soko failed?" "Light the eldest son of the Light family in Cartel!" "The most important thing i that Soko's father is the new vice president of the Chamber of Commerce in the Kealonia branch!" There was an uproar. It was incredible that someone with such a background had failed, making many people more nervous and panicked. Lyrick held his breath and seemed to have a good relationship with Soko. As Soko walked towards him, he reached out and grabbed him, his face

As Leon walked out of the door, many eyes turned to him. Soko raised his eyebrows, with a slight smile on his lips. "Did you fail?" Lyrick quickly stepped forward, patting Leons shoulder. "It's okay if you failed, after all, you're still young. Stay in the HR department and help me out." "Take some time to familiarize yourself with the job. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and Mr. Godfrey's requirements are always very strict. Failure is normal." Leon looked around and replied calmly, not at all embarrassed. "I have successfully passed and will start my new position from today." The whole room was stunned. Soko's eyes bulged, unable to believe it. As the eldest son of the Light family and with years of family experience, he couldn't pass the test set by Godfrey, but an unknown nobody like Leon could?! This was unbelievable! "It's impossible. How could you pass the interview?" Soko felt his face was lost and his self-esteem was greatly damaged. Lyrick

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
CHAPTER 99
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
CHAPTER 97
"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
