"I see!" Caleb and the others came to a realization. They finally understood that Hugh was merely a guest and not a member of the Dragon Corps. Naturally, that would mean he was not someone with a higher position than Howard as well. However, upon further consideration, they realized something odd. Dragon Corps was a special organization that governed the world of martial artists and not everyone could just become friends with its members. Hugh, on the other hand, was referred to as an esteemed guest, and two Platinum Dragon Guards were sent to escort him home, which meant he was hardly an ordinary person. There was far more to Hugh than they initially imagined. He was more than just a vice president of Cynthion Group because he would not be able to exert such authority otherwise. Realization dawned on them and they all realized that they underestimated Hugh. "Elder Morrison, why are you all here? Did something happen?" Howard realized that almost exposed Hugh's true iden
"Thank you for offering. I'll go to you if I need something," Leon smiled. He already promised to prioritize the Morrisons as potential partners, so he could not go back on his words. Hence, he did not need Howard and Fletcher to introduce him to other partners. Still, he knew that the two of them were offering out of kindness so he did not turn them down. "Sure! Mister Wolf, if there's nothing else you need, we'll leave for now. If you need anything else, just call us." Howard and Fletcher exchanged numbers with Leon and bid their farewell. "Sure. Drive safe!" Leon said with a smile. With that, he watched as Howard and Fletcher left. Once they were gone, Leon turned his attention to the crowd before him. "Everyone, thank you for your appreciation. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I have around two hundred Premium Energy Nurturing Pills here. How about I offer these to you as gifts to thank you for your support?" Leon said thoughtfully. Though these people were waiti
"Hugh, don't think you can just bribe us into letting this slide. You left us waiting at the hotel for hours and you are messing with us. You have to give us a proper apology!" Jayden could not hold it in any longer and roared. He already reached an agreement with the others to team up against Leon. However, Leon's action of offering the Premium Energy Nurturing Pills caused the displeased crowd to change their perspectives on him. Worried that the others would give up on scheming against Leon, Jayden spoke up again. "Mister Morrison, what do you want then?" Leon frowned. These people were voluntarily waiting at the hotel and he did not know about it in advance, so it was never his intention to leave them waiting. He felt that he was kind enough to offer them Premium Energy Nurturing Pills as compensation, yet Jayden was still dissatisfied. Leon was slightly annoyed by this. "It's simple. I want a higher portion of the total profit. We've all discussed and agreed upon a f
"Why you-" Caleb and the others were all furious. They only listened to Jayden's advice earlier because they thought Hugh was just a lowly vice president with no connection in the western region. On top of that, they were all losing patience from waiting too long. Hence, they started thinking if they could obtain more profit from Hugh by teaming up against him. However, the circumstances changed. Hugh was close with the Dragon Corps and if they tried to scheme against him, they would only end up suffering. Hence, they all gave up on plotting against Leon, yet Jayden could not tell the situation and mentioned the last thing he should say. He even went as far as to mention that they were going to team up against Hugh, and this placed the others on the spot. What frustrated them most was that they could not quite argue with what Jayden said because it was true. "Elder Morrison, what exactly is the meaning of this? Mister Hugo called me saying that you've already agreed to
"Oh, is that so?" Leon raised an eyebrow and stared directly into Jensen's eyes. Jensen helped him multiple times and protected him from Felton, so Leon had a good impression of him. He saw no deception or guilt in Jensen's eyes and the dark expression on his face eased. "It's true! Mister Wolf, we are here wishing nothing for nothing but a chance to work with Cynthion Group. If possible, please give the Dagleshs a chance," Jensen said sincerely. "Yeah, Mister Daglesh's right!" "Mister Wolf, that was just a misunderstanding. We all truly want to work with Cynthion Group." ... The others snapped out of it and agreed along. "Well," Leon glanced at Jensen and then at the others, falling into silence. Since his last visit to the Morrisons' mansion, he could already tell that Jayden was a selfish and arrogant person. He merely needed a few moments to figure out that Jayden was likely trying to convince others to team up against him. This was likely not what the others
"How can this happen?," Contrary to the Dagleshs' reaction, Caleb, Hugo, and the others were all shaken. Considering the effort Hugo put into it, the right to work with Cynthion Group was supposed to be the Morrisons' by right. To Caleb's bewilderment, his and the elders' stubbornness in gaining more profit and Jayden's foolishness pushed Leon over the edge. As a result, they lost the chance to work with Cynthion Group, and Caleb was devastated. If Jayden was not his son, he would have beaten him to death on the spot. "It's a shame. Who would've thought that Cynthion Group would choose to work with the Dagleshs?" "The Dagleshs are so lucky to have taken this opportunity from the Morrisons." "Yeah, the Dagleshs wouldn't stand a chance if it weren't for Mister Morrison's foolishness," ... The others sighed and looked at the Dagleshs enviously. Though all Leon said was he would give the Dagleshs a chance, anyone could tell that Leon gave up on the Morrisons. If everyth
"Well," Renee was rendered speechless because what Leon said was the truth. He came from the southern region because he sincerely wished to work with the Morrisons. However, Caleb and the elders were far too arrogant and greedy. On top of that, Jayden continued to cause trouble and even tried to team up with others to scheme against Leon. This was simply out of line and anyone would be livid. Leon was no exception. It was understandable that he no longer wished to work with the Morrisons and it was inappropriate for her to blame him. "Miss Morrison, consider whatever discussed between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group invalid. Please go home!" Leon said coldly. Not wanting to waste his time further with Renee, he turned back to his room. "It's over," Caleb and Hugo's hearts sank. They both knew that the Morrisons wronged Leon. Now that Leon had given up on them, they wanted to say something to salvage the situation, but their words failed them. Feeling bitter, they b
"Forget it. The Morrisons can stay as well. I'll talk to you after I'm done with the Dagleshs!" Leon sighed. Out of respect for Hugo and Renee, he changed his mind and decided to give the Morrisons one more chance. However, he already announced that he would give the Dagleshs a chance as well and he had to keep his promise. Hence, he decided to talk with both the Dagleshs and the Morrisons separately and see which family was best suited for Cynthion Group. Once he talked to both families, he would pick one of them to work with. "What? Really?" Caleb and Hugo were overjoyed. They were both devastated that the Morrisons lost such a great opportunity. To their pleasant surprise, Renee's persistence brought about a chance and Leon decided to give them another try. Instantly, they were over the moon. "Miss Morrison sure is quick-witted. She somehow managed to convince Mister Wolf," Contrary to their reaction, Jensen and Elder Dagleshs' hearts sank. The Dagleshs were about
