"Why are you asking me that, Father?" asked Leo who looked confused at Mr. Holland.With a suspicious look at Leo, Mr. Holland walked slowly over to him. For a few seconds Mr. Holland just watched Leo and seemed to be trying to figure out what he was thinking. "Of course I knew that you were thinking about something. But you didn't want to tell me," Mr. Holland said. Leo didn't give Mr. Holland an answer right away. At that moment Leo considered whether he should tell Mr. Holland or not. He was worried that what Mr. Walter said would affect Mr. Holland. "If you don't tell me, you won't be able to get a solution, Leo," said Mr. Holland who tried to persuade calmly. "I'm not having any problems," Leo replied softly. Mr. Holland exhaled as his shoulders slumped limply. Although Leo repeatedly denied what he said, he still realized that Leo was hiding something. "Are you sure you're not going to tell me? You can't possibly carry all the burden alone, Leo," Mr. Holland replied. Se
"Mr. Walter, can I talk to you for a moment?" Leo said, stopping Mr. Walter who was talking to some other company investors. Mr. Walter's gaze shifted to Leo. So did several investors who were in front of Mr. Walter. Seeing Leo's presence made them immediately put on expressions of surprise and astonishment. "Oh, Mr. Leo is also at this event?" asked one of the retail company CEOs, Mr. Orphan. Leo gave a brief smile in greeting. "Of course. What's keeping me from coming after Mr. Walter's invitation?" Leo replied with a chuckle. Mr. Orphan nodded his head in understanding. "Do you also intend to invest in Mr. Walter's business innovation? Aren't... you guys business rivals?" Getting that question made Leo flinch for a while. During his silence, he looked at each other with Mr. Walter as if asking how to answer. "I'm still considering it and don't want to tell you yet. Oh, about us being business rivals... just ask Mr. Walter," Leo replied. After Leo's glance fell on hi
"Liona, how are you?" Leo asked as soon as he was in front of Liona. In the VVIP seat, Liona looked dumbfounded in awe of Leo's figure. Her eyes sparkled, her smile curved brightly, and her sitting posture automatically straightened to show interest. All the gestures Liona showed upon seeing Leo's arrival were completely unheard of for Leo. In all the years they had been in a married relationship, Liona did not even seem to genuinely love him. "Ah, Leo. You've finally come," Liona said then, her smile brightening. Leo gave a formal smile as a sign of greeting Liona. On the other hand, Leo also knew that Liona's sweet attitude towards him was just a fake. How could Leo not realize that Liona did not really love him? Liona was only sweet to him when she became the CEO of a big company. So if Leo had not become the eldest son and CEO of Mr. Holland's company, would Liona have been this sweet to him? "You've really changed drastically, Leo," Liona said, looking at Leo with
"Several times dragged in? What crimes have his name been implicated in?" Leo asked. "Illegal alcohol smuggling. It happened six years ago. He put alcohol containing methanol-a dangerous alcohol substance-into bottles of alcohol with normal content. It was a year when many methanol alcohol victims were scattered, they suffered retinal damage and many hospitals experienced a surge in treatment for methanol alcohol victims. "That's why the distribution of alcohol containing methanol is strictly prohibited. The police investigated the various parties involved in the distribution of methanol alcohol. "Because Mr. Jonsen was desperate to continue distributing the alcohol, he was almost caught during a distribution schedule. He was also almost caught while monitoring one of the ports smuggling to China," Mr. Holland explained at length. "So, what happened next?" "As you can guess. He bribed several police officers, even officials. Including prosecutors," Mr. Holland said. "He re
Leo was snapped out of his reverie. He turned to Bram who was looking at him seriously. "Ah, I hate to see Mr. Walter living the good life," Leo said quietly. Leo's gaze became very sharp at Mr. Walter. "You know, some of the companies under the Wal Innovate Group often achieve several times the increase in profits. "Starting from an increase in profit of 60%, 80%, even the highest is 96%. All of these profit increases are proof that the Wal Innovate Group places great importance on the quality of the businesses, so we have very few losses." After Mr. Walter's words, the echoing sound of applause was heard. "He designs businesses without feeling guilty for planning to destroy others by taking advantage," Leo continued. Mr. Walter continued to speak explaining about the business innovation of Grand Ocean Central. But there was no honesty that the place would become the headquarters for the distribution of narcotics transactions. It was very clear that Mr. Walter's drug
[MESSAGER] [BRAM] [Mr. Leo, I found Mr. Jonsen at a club with one of the company's CEOs] [I will send you the address of the club, Mr. Leo] Leo frowned when he read the message that Bram sent. But soon, after Bram sent a photo from not too far away-and showing Mr. Jonsen with three other men, Leo could hardly contain his smile. Luckily, Leo soon realized that Liona was sitting in front of him. In a moment, he typed a reply to Bram's message. [Wait for me. I'll be there now. You stay there and keep an eye on what Mr. Jonsen is doing] "Ah, Liona, I have to go somewhere now," Leo said goodbye. Liona's face changed to show surprise after Leo said that. Liona did not seem to want to agree to what Leo said. "Where do you want to go?" Liona asked. "I can't tell you. I just want to do some work," Leo replied with a formal smile. Liona had a sad expression on her face. The corners of her lips curled downwards, as if deliberately signaling that she didn't want Leo to leave her prese
[ACCESS LOCATION FOUND!] [MR. JONSEN IS ON THE VVIP FLOOR, ON THE THIRD LEVEL OF THE BIG H CLUB, 150 METERS FROM YOUR CURRENT LOCATION] "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 la
Leo was greeted by Hans who brought his car behind. Mr. Walter's bodyguards immediately offered to park the car, not accepting Bram and Hans' refusal. Finally Leo stood with Bram and Hans, then stepped on their respective feet. Soon, Mr. Walter, Mrs. Reline, and Liona stopped at the top of the stairs. They gave a smile-ah, even Leo had never seen such a warm smile during his time as a poor man in this mansion. "Mr. Leo! You finally came. You know, I and the others have been waiting for your arrival," Mr. Walter greeted enthusiastically. Leo tried to give a smile of formality. Together with Bram and Hans, Leo stepped closer to Mr. Walter, Mrs. Reline, and Liona. At that moment Leo's gaze unintentionally fell on Liona who seemed to be smiling blushing. I didn't know why Liona was acting like that. Even in all the years of their marriage, this was the first time Liona showed a blushing face. "Mr. Walter, sorry for making you wait so long," Leo replied as he extended his ha
