Leon was shocked to feel that the spiritual energy at the peak of the mountain was already almost completely drained.Thankfully, he did not need to train on Mistcloud Mountain, so it was fine even if the spiritual energy was drained.Furthermore, spiritual energy was not something that would not come back. In less than three months, the spiritual energy on the peak of Mistcloud Mountain would recover. Not using it was just a waste!After gathering the morning dew, Leon started to leave the mountain.Now that he dealt with the procurement of materials and the dew, the problems with production would be resolved as well.The most important part of those products were the dew.Leon planned on naming the morning dew spirit dew. He would be the sole person capable of producing them, just like how many food products had exclusive suppliers.That way, as long as he controlled the spirit dew, no other cosmetic companies would be able to try and mimic their products. That would ensure
If Ashwin found out that he overstepped and interfered with procurement as well, Ashwin would be furious!"What exactly do you want to say? Why are you being so hesitant?!" Iris looked at Leon strangely, not understanding what Leon tried to do."I wanted to say that the Shear Group is the biggest provider of herbal medicines in Springfield City. We should look to work with them. There's no need to work with Life Pharmacy…" Leon mustered up the courage to say.Even though he did not like Ashwin that much, he still felt bad that he kept on overstepping and taking away Ashwin's responsibilities.If Ashwin agreed to work with the Shear Group, he could just give Ashwin the contract he signed last night. Then, the contributions would be Ashwin's.Then, he would not have overstepped, and he would be able to give Cynthia an explanation."You sure are putting things lightly! Even though working with the Shear Group is the best choice, we're a cosmetic company, not a medical or pharmaceuti
"I can definitely show you the agreement, but we'll have to make a bet first!" Leon said calmly."What bet?" Ashwin asked."You don't believe I have an agreement with the Shear Group, right? If I manage to produce an agreement, then don't bite me!" Leon knew that he overstepped his responsibilities, so he preemptively shielded himself from Ashwin. He did not want Ashwin to get angry and bite him in the back."Why would I bite you for no reason?! You're crazy!" Ashwin's expression was incredibly sour. He thought that Leon tried to mock him."Alright, you said it yourself. Don't go back on your words!" Leon was elated. Ashwin fell right for it.Ashwin waved it off, not wanting to bother wasting time with Leon. He said, "What if you can't produce the agreement?""Then you can do whatever you want!" Leon said firmly."Alright, it's a deal!" Ashwin was incredibly happy, looking like he already won. His smile was incredibly wide."Leon, did you get the contract or not? Stop stalling
After listening to what happened, Iris was already sure that the Blue Star of the Sea was genuine!Most importantly, the Blue Star of the Sea was something incredibly valuable. Leon was not someone with that much money or power, but was willing to give something so amazing to her.Her heart was always like a cold lake, but the lake suddenly had a few ripples on it."It's not just being lucky, it's absolutely crazy!" Ashwin's face soured.He wondered what kind of relationship Leon could have with the Shears. He finally understood that it was just that Leon happened to be lucky enough to get to know Benedict.Leon ignored Ashwin and continued, "Yes, it's because of that, that I got friendly with Elder Shear. I gave him a call last night and told him that the company needed some materials, and he agreed to work with us…""So that's the case! You did very well! It looks like I made the right choice letting you join the company!" Iris had a smile on her face as she praised Leon.When
"Miss Young, if there's nothing else, I'll be going to the factory," Ashwin excused himself and left the office.Looking at Leon leave, Ashwin clenched his fists tightly. His expression was incredibly dark.A few days ago, Leon took his responsibilities away with production, and now Leon showed him up again. He could not just take that!"Mister Mercer, you should go back to work!" Iris said calmly.She kept on feeling like there was no way Ashwin was free of responsibility regarding Micheal scheming against Leon, so she no longer held Ashwin in such high regard."Miss Young, there are some things I don't know if I should say…" Ashwin hesitated before stopping."What is it? Just tell me," Iris raised an eyebrow, wondering what Ashwin was getting at."Miss Young, I know you want to train Mister Wolf…""It's just that he's way too ambitious. It might not be a good thing for you to bring him up like that!" Ashwin said."Ambitious? That's impossible! I know Leon's character very we
"That's impossible! Leon definitely won't betray me. He's not the type of person to do that!" Iris said coldly, quickly tossing away her doubts.Most of the company's recent incredible developments were thanks to Leon. Leon was loyally contributing so much to the company, so she could not doubt Leon like that!Leon even saved her life before. He had a great character. If she did not even trust Leon, then who else could she trust?"Miss Young, you mustn't let your guard down! Leon doesn't have anything right now, so he's forced to rely on you. Once he succeeds thanks to you, he might end up betraying you…" Ashwin did not give up as he spoke, but he was stopped by Iris before he could finish."Stop it!""Ashwin, I'll ignore your insults to Leon this time since you've contributed a lot to the company these two yours, but don't do it again!""Alright, go back to work!" Iris berated with a cold look on her face.She always faced the business world coldly. Her business skills were not
On top of that, she was very beautiful herself, so she quickly attracted quite a few looks at her.As everyone looked at them, Leon and Janice were led into a room by the waiter. They sat down in front of each other.After ordering their food, the two of them quickly fell into silence.They did not see each other for a long time, so they became somewhat strangers to each other.After a long time."Leon, how have you been the past few years?""Janice, how have you been?"Leon and Janice tried to break the silence at the same time, and they asked the same question without knowing.After asking that, both of them were stunned, not expecting such a coincidence.Janice could not help but laugh, revealing her sweet smile."Why are you following me?" Janice rolled her eyes at Leon."That…"Leon scratched his head awkwardly, "It's probably because we haven't seen each other for so long, but I don't know what to say.""Same here. I actually had so much I wanted to ask you, but I fo
Cynthia realized that she overthought things.After all, Leon was just an orphan. He did not have much of a background.Furthermore, Cynthia was the jewel of the Shears. She's not just immensely beautiful, but rich and powerful as well. She had so many men after her, so how could she have her eyes on the ordinary Leon?!"Janice, what are you working as right now?" Leon asked, wanting to know more about Janice."Oh, I went into a big company after I graduated. I got quite lucky, and I'm already a department manager. I make a few thousand a month."Janice was a bit pleased with herself. After that, she remembered Leon's situation, and she said, "Leon, I remember you mentioning that you're a presidential secretary at a cosmetic company.""That position isn't too bad, but a secretary still usually handles errands in the end. It's mostly a woman's job, and there's not much power for you, nor will you have much of a future. It's not a good long-term plan."Saying that, Janice paused f
