"WOAH! I'm really very happy! The Grand Ocean Restaurant construction project successfully secured investment funds from Pablo Nerulda!" Mr. Walter said in a quite loud voice while clapping his hands. Leo sipped his drink with a proud smile. More precisely, he was proud of himself for being able to prove his contribution to the Grand Ocean Restaurant construction project. An hour ago, Leo received an invitation to a meeting from Mr. Walter with the four heads of the DID Cartel. The meeting was a celebration of Mr. Walter's success in getting investment funds from Pablo Nerulda. "Ten million dollars may not seem like a lot of money to us, but you got it from Mr. Pablo Nerulda," said Catrina, the woman who was the CEO of the electric car company. But behind the scenes, Catrina was a female mobster known as Abella D'Plantos. Leo curved a smile of formality at Catrina. After that, his pair of eyes glanced at Jonsen who was looking at him through a look that implied hatred. "It's
"Can't you accept that I managed to steal the attention of a DID Cartel teammate?" The sound of Leo's steps echoed in the silent hallway. Stuffing his hands into his pants pockets, he walked over to Mr. Jonsen who was standing by the open window smoking a cigarette. Leo's arrival caught Mr. Jonsen's attention. Instantly, Mr. Jonsen's face and gaze became disgruntled and he looked out the window. Mr. Jonsen's reaction made Leo unable to help but smile. It wasn't long before Leo's steps arrived beside Mr. Jonsen. After that, Leo extended his open palm. "Can I ask for your cigarette?" Leo asked without the slightest hesitation. Mr. Jonsen looked at Leo's palm through cynical eyes. There was no answer but he looked forward again. "Why did you come to me?" asked Mr. Jonsen exasperatedly. Leo immediately chuckled at Mr. Jonsen's question. For some reason, the more Mr. Jonsen showed his dislike for him, the more Leo was challenged. "Fine if you don't want to give me your ciga
"Who is with Mr. Walter and what are they doing?" Leo muttered.Finally the map on the system's hologram screen automatically zoomed in. Leo immediately saw the red dot turn into what looked like CCTV footage. Leo was a bit surprised because Mr. Walter was very clearly seen with five men. There were already some beers on the table, they seemed to be laughing while chatting seriously.There was a laptop whose screen a man was pointing at Mr. Walter and four other men. Leo was curious about the laptop's display, which vaguely displayed a lot of writing."Zoom in, laptop object," Leo muttered.[REQUEST ACCEPTED!][LAPTOP OBJECT: ZOOM IN]The system screen zooms in to the maximum limit. It can be seen that the red circle makes the laptop screen the center of focus.After that, the system scans for three seconds, then a more HD version of the laptip text appears.Leo squinted his eyes, clarifying his vision."Plans to build a culinary branch in Upper Side Land?" muttered Leo, reading the
"Mr. Leo Sebastian Holland, what did you ask to meet me here for?" Leo arched a very wide smile when his long name was mentioned by the man before him. He took a deep breath, then let it out. "I didn't expect you to know so much about me as to mention my full name?" Leo replied with a joking chuckle. In front of Leo, the man named Zaves sat with his back against the wall and looked at him through sharp eyes. There was no expression except for suspicion. Zaves was also actually annoyed that Leo could find him enjoying time with a woman. "Who doesn't know about you? A newcomer CEO who suddenly managed to increase Araizona Group's profits in just a short time," Zaves said with a lopsided smile. "Of course. My name has been a trending topic for the past few months, so I don't need to introduce myself to you much," Leo replied with a small smile. Having said that, Leo then straightened his sitting position. He stretched the tie on his shirt collar. "I hope our meeting is one t
"You must not be able to believe what happened to your family right away. Now, you go rest in your room."Leo, who couldn't argue, finally followed Hans and Bram. They took him to the second floor using an elevator, then walked down the hall.Along the gold-walled hallway, Leo was mesmerized by the framed photos of the family members. All the family members in the photos appeared to be wearing luxurious clothes.Leo then arrived at a grand room with windows stretching wide. He could see the view of the hills.When standing in front of the wide glass window, Leo could see a private golf course, a horse riding field, a large swimming pool, and two buildings of unknown origin. Leo saw a very thick sense of luxury in this mansion area."Enjoy your life as the heir of Mrs. Holland's family, Mr. Leo," Bram said.Leo looked back and saw Bram and Hans bowing. As if paying their respects."After this, you will have a meal from the waiter, Mr. Leo. Enjoy your meal," Hans said."Thank you, Hans
"I met with Mr. Zaves, Father," Leo gave a report after he was in front of Mr. Holland. Mr. Holland stopped the movement of his hand that was writing something down. He had a surprised look on his face after hearing Leo's words. Slowly, he raised his face and looked at Leo as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard. "What are you saying now?" asked Mr. Holland, frowning in displeasure. Leo already knew that Mr. Holland would not approve of his actions. "Since when did you act on your own without seeking my approval, Leo?" Mr. Holland protested. Calmly, Leo immediately curved his smile. "May I sit down?" Leo asked politely. After Mr. Holland nodded his approval, Leo then pulled out a chair and sat down with a heavy sigh. Leo began to face Mr. Holland who looked at him very seriously. "I know you will disagree with my actions, Father-""Of course. Do you know how terrible the environment of such people is?" interrupted Mr. Holland directly, his tone implying a very clear
"Ah, why do I have to be here?" Leo muttered as he let out a rough breath after his car stopped right at Mr. Walter's mansion. Leo turned his gaze to the right side, seeing several bodyguards already lined up to greet him in front of the entrance. It was really annoying when he returned to this place. Leo's memory flashed back to the time when he was unceremoniously dumped and humiliated in this mansion. All those years of marriage with Liona, but in the end everything he worked for ended up in vain. "Mr. Leo. Are you alright?" asked Bram who was sitting in the driver's seat. He understood what had happened to Leo. Leo immediately turned his gaze to Bram and raised both eyebrows. He pretended to show he didn't feel anything, even though he was actually annoyed. "What? What the hell happened to me?" Leo asked. Bram flinched for a moment and just watched Leo. He didn't seem to believe Leo's words because Leo's gestures were very awkward. "I mean, you look upset about comin
"Can you not start an argument when I'm talking about something important?" After Mr. Walter spoke, Leo and Mr. Jonsen then turned their respective eyes towards Mr. Walter again. They looked irritated at each other because of the brief argument that happened a moment ago. "I actually find it curious. Wal Chemical Company's factory will produce medicines that are sold to conglomerates, right? Are you also going to sell to regular guests?" Leo asked. "Mr. Leo. The Grand Ocean Restaurant is just an outward appearance known to the public. But in reality, behind the Grand Ocean Restaurant, we are a hotel with the largest club and a place for international business traffic. "They can choose which goods and facilities we provide. Only a few conglomerates have reserved a place at a very high price to join as VVIP guests," Mr. Walter explained with a sense of pride. "Of course, regular guests can enter if they have enough money to pay for the membership," Catrina said as she rested her c
