2025-02-17 16:38:24"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. "First, I will go to the branch!" Leon was straightforward and did not beat around the bush. "I will notify them to prepare for your arrival." Freya immediately tensed up. Leon spoke sternly, 'No need to notify them. This time, I will personally inspect it, and I don't plan to make it public. It's best to let people think that I have been at the Cuba headquarters all along. Otherwise, the results of the inspection may not be accurate, because I don't want to see a bunch of superficial efforts!" If the Cuba headquarters were defined as the commander-in-chief of the chessboard, then the two major branch offices in Kealonia and Kertania were like the roles of the left and right generals, occupying great importance in expanding the territory. Especially now that the branch offices have just been established, although they appear to be powerful on the surface, there are bound to be difficulties due to the involvement of too many family forces and influential relationships! As the saying goes, before expanding outward, one must first ensure stability within. Leon's personal inspection is naturally to rectify the situation! Freya asked cautiously, "Who will be in charge of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters?" "When I leave Cuba for my inspection trip, Ill leave the management of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to you," Leon stood up from his seat, looking particularly serious. "Young master, I never expected you to trust me so much and entrust me with such an important responsibility!" Freya was pleasantly surprised. Leon cautioned, "You've been by my side for some time now, and I've seen how you conduct yourself and handle things. This is also a test of your abilities. Don't disappoint me." "I will do my best and not let you down, young master!" Freya was grateful. If it were before, with the limited resources of the Adam's family in Cuba, he would never have climbed to this level. "And there's one more important thing I need to remind you of," Leon suddenly emphasized. Freya quickly bowed, "Please tell me, young master!" "This time, when I go to Kealonia for inspection, don't inform your father for the time being!" Leon became even more serious, his tone beyond doubt. Freya held his breath and suddenly understood that this included Godfrey in the scope of inspection. If any wrong doing was discovered, he would definitely be punished. "Chambers of Commerce have their own rules. Although Godfrey, as the vice president of the headquarters and the president of the Kealonia branch, has made many contributions during this period, if he has done something wrong, he must be punished, and it has nothing to do with me. He cannot escape punishment just because of our relationship," Leon said. "| understand what you mean, young master. We must still adhere to the principle of reward and punishment. If you discover any wrongdoing, please punish him. I will not help him plead for mercy!" Freya took a deep breath and spoke firmly. Seeing this, Leon finally showed a satisfied smile. Soon, it was noon. After arranging everything, Leon did not waste any time and headed directly to Kealonia. In order to travel incognito, Leon did not arrange for a private car, but instead dressed in simple and plain clothes, dragging his luggage to Cub train station and heading straight to Cartel. Cartel, as the most prosperous area in Kealonia, was well-known and renowned as an ancient city in Kealonia. And the Kertania branch was just established in Cartel! As Leon enjoyed the scenery along the way, the train arrived in Cartel at night. However, Cartel at night was even more dazzling and full of Kealonia humor. When Leon dragged his suitcase out of the train station, Stevin had been waiting for a long time, and there was also a woman who looked a few years older than Leon by her side! "Leon, you finally came!" Stevin was very enthusiastic, and quickly helped with the luggage, secretly winking at Leon. Seeing Stevin's expression, Leon immediately understood. In fact, when Stevin visited Cuba before, Leon had already mentioned that he needed to keep a low profile throughout his investigation in Kealonia. Leon had also previously understood Stevin's family background, and the woman in front of him was his cousin, Coco. Despite Stevin and Luca's strong background and wealth, they were extremely low-key, to the point that even Coco, who grew up with them, didn't know their true identity outside. So, the lower profile, the better, which was exactly what Leon wanted. Leon said calmly, "Auntie, l came from Cuba to work in Cartel this time, and I will be staying with you for a while. Please don't mind." Stevin's miled and reached out to pat Leon's shoulder, "We are family, what are you talking about? Just treat this as your own home. Auntie is so happy, how could we mind?" Coco twitched her mouth and kept looking at Leon's clothes, even showing a hint of disgust. "Mom, is this the distant cousin you mentioned?" Stevin frowned, "What are you talking about?" Coco said unwillingly, "Mom, we just moved into our new house last month after so much effort. I don't want this country bumpkin from Cuba to make our new house dirty." "And what if my boyfriend comes over one day and sees him? Then I|l be so embarrassed. My boyfriend's family is very wealthy!" Caleb scolded sternly, "Shut up! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'II slap you. If you have so much to say, move out and live on your own!" Coco sneered, unable to retort against Caleb's scolding, and could only accept it with resentment in her heart. This relative who appeared out of nowhere had the audacity to come over and beg like a beggar. He's so poor and pathetic!

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

In the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. Coco sat in the car in the parking lot of the Chamber of Commerce building, still wearing an incredible expression, feeling amazed by everything that had happened throughout the day. No matter how much she pondered, Coco couldn't come to a definite conclusion. The fact that Leon had been promoted and gained the trust of Godfrey was beyond her expectations. After all, Leon held a position of great power, with everyone under his supervision except for Godfrey himself. Anyone who violated the rules of the Chamber of Commerce, even the vice president, would be punished under his watchful eye. Compared to Leon's status, Coco was just a lowly assistant in the personnel department, a world of difference between them. For a moment, Coco's self-esteem was strongly unbalanced, secretly cursing Leon for being lucky enough to have such a high position. Just then, Leon came out of the Chamber of Commerce building, went straight to the car,

"Do you dare?" "Leon, don't think l won't do anything to you!" "If you push me too far, I'll fight you!" Coco slammed the table and stood up, her face full of anger and shame. Lyrick sensed something was wrong and furrowed his brows, asking, "Coco, what's going on?" "Brother-in-law, why don't I tell you? The money you gave her before, she didn't spend a single penny on buying a house. Instead, her aunt and uncle don't even know you did this in secret. I even suspect she's already spent all the money!" Lyrick's, face changed, looking incredulous. Coco panicked and grabbed Lyrick's hand, "Lyrick, let me explain!" "Fine, explain to me. Where did the eight million go?" Lyrick's tone gradually changed. But when asked this question, Coco couldn't answer and turned pale. Lyrick was furious, "Coco, I wanted to marry you, but you did this behind my back. You really disappointed me!" "Lyrick, I promise I won't do it again. Don't be angry, okay?" Coco was scared, afraid that Lyrick Would

Upon learning of Coco's excessive behavior, Stevin remained resolute and impartial. Faced with this situation, Coco was incredulous. She never expected Stevin to take such a stance and even allowed Leon to continue to teach her a lesson. "l am your daughter, Mom!" Coco exclaimed. "How could you let an outsider teach me a lesson?" she continued. "Even if I deserve to be punished, it shouldn't be by Leon, an outsider!" Coco was filled with shame and indignation, while Stevin was furious and immediately slammed the table, rebuking Coco. "Leon is not an outsider, but you, a disgrace to our family's reputation! I let him do it, what's wrong with that?" With that, Stevin signaled for Leon to take action. Without hesitation, Leon drew his belt from his waist and began to lash Coco. The sound of the belt striking Coco's body echoed throughout the hall. Her eyes widened in pain, struggling to breathe as her face turned pale. Stevin's face was stern and she commanded, "Continue.

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
CHAPTER 100
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
