"Is Miss Morrison's boyfriend just bidding randomly?""That's so rude of him!"...Hearing the sarcastic remarks from Bucky and Aurelia, the crowd was taken aback. They already learned that Leon was a lowly vice president and it seemed unlikely that he could afford to pay 5 million. Since Leon participated in the bidding, he should follow the rules and not bid over his budget. If Leon failed to produce 50 million, this would break the rule and everyone would feel fooled. This was a rather inappropriate act, making Leon as despicable as common thugs. There were a few powerful figures in the crowd and they all looked down on shameless thugs. Misled by Aurelia and Bucky, they all turned to Leon in contempt. However, what shook them all happened in the next moment. "Hahaha, how hilarious! It's just 50 million. Who told you that Mister Wolf can't afford it? Mister Grimston, you've underestimated Mister Wolf." Just then, a melodious voice sounded. A young man in his mid-
"Nothing is impossible! Mister Grimston, and Mister Wolf spent 287 million during Mister Feaks' bouquet and purchased all the rare herbs presented that night! If he can afford something at 287 million, 50 million means nothing to him." Arron smirked and looked at Bucky like he was a fool. Leon won against all the young elites and purchased all the rare herbs with 287 million and Arron saw that with his own eyes. He knew that Cynthion Group had great financial capability and in this aspect, many of the powerful families in the western region would fall short. Yet, Bucky attempted to bid against Leon for the green jadeite. When he failed, he started mocking Leon for not being able to pay. This was extremely foolish and Arron could not figure out how Bucky could challenge Leon financially with such confidence. He was practically digging his own grave."What?" Arron's words left everyone, including Aurelia and Bucky, stunned. Aurelia and Bucky both assumed that Leon could not
"I'm not messing with you. I'm just telling the truth. There were a lot of people, including Mister Cade and Mister Daglesh, present when Mister Wolf made the purchase. We're all witnesses so why would I risk my reputation just to lie to you?" Arron said with displeasure. "Well," Bucky was rendered speechless as he knew Arron was right. As a direct descendent of a prestigious family, Arron could not possibly lie in front of so many people or he would ruin his reputation, which would only harm him. "Mister Rathbourne, you can say whatever you want. I don't care if this guy paid 287 million for rare herbs. That's in the past. Regardless, he bid 50 million for this piece of jadeite and if he can afford it, he needs to pay now!" Aurelia gritted out with a dark expression. She assumed that Leon could not gather such a large amount of time immediately given his status. However, the reality proved her utterly wrong. She did not anticipate that Leon was capable of paying 287 million
"Mister Grimston, Miss Underwood, I haven't lost my mind. You two are just ignorant and don't know how powerful Cynthion Group's alchemical pills are. So long as Mister Wolf is okay with it, I'm at his service even if the price of this jadeite doubles," Arron said calmly. Cynthion Group had great potential and multiple families fought for the chance to partner with Hugh, including the Rathbournes. Both Arron and his grandfather were present outside Leon's room at the time. Unfortunately, Leon told the Dagleshs and the Morrisons to stay in the end and intended to select one family from these two to work with. Arron was quite disappointed that the Rathbournes were not given the chance, but an opportunity presented itself. Both the Dagleshs and the Morrisons wanted to work with Cynthion Group and Hugh was not in any hurry to make his decision. There were no good news of the Dagleshs or the Morrisons forming a partnership with Cynthion Group. So long as the partnership was not co
"It's fine. Mister Rathbourne, Miss Morrison, thank you for your offering. But I can afford this, so I won't need your help." Leon shook his head. Like Renee, he could tell that Arron was merely plotting to obtain a chance to work with Cynthion Group. Since both the Morrisons and the Dagleshs were incredibly genuine, he was yet to make a decision. He did not wish to owe yet another family a favor as it was merely complicated things. Since both Cynthion Group and Elegante Group were extremely profitable, he was not short of money and did not need help from Arron or Renee. "Well, alright then." Arron was slightly disappointed. Renee already expected that Leon would reject their help, so she was not surprised. "Mister Wolf doesn't even care about spending 50 million! It seems like there's more to him than we expected!"...The crowd gasped when Leon refused help. Though a lot of them were from wealthy backgrounds, most of them were merely merchants and not from prestigio
Then, Leon proceeded to pay. Since 50 million was a big amount and there was a limit to personal transactions, Leon used his card in the shop and had the staff transfer the money to Rickon instead. After the payment was completed, Leon obtained the green jadeite and the bidding came to an end. "Mister Grimston, Miss Underwood, Hugh has already paid. Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Renee turned to Bucky and Aurelia mockingly. In an attempt to provoke Renee, Aurelia worked with Bucky to undermine Leon.Now, the tables turned. Leon proved that his financial capability surpassed that of Aurelia and Bucky, and he succeeded in purchasing the green jadeite. Renee was always and there was no way that she could simply let what Bucky and Aurelia did slide. "Yeah!""These two are so weird. Mister Wolf has the money and just wants to buy the jadeite, yet they pick on him and mock him for not having enough money. How arrogant!"...The crowd around them agreed along and
"Mister Rathbourne, thank you for your help!" Leon smiled and thanked Arron once Aurelia and Bucky left. Back when Aurelia and Bucky picked on him, Arron stood up for him and even offered to help pay. Leon would not forget what he did."You're welcome, Mister Wolf. It's not that big a deal," Arron smiled. Though Leon did not let him pay, his act of kindness started a friendship. Given Cynthion Group's potential, befriending Hugh would surely benefit the Rathbournes. "Alright. Hugh, now that we've bought the jadeite you need, let's go!" Renee changed the subject. "Oh, sure! Mister Rathbourne, we'll be on our way, then!" Leon said. "Drive safe," Arron said and watched as Leon and Renee left the rock gambling area. "Looks like the Morrisons will be selected as Cynthion Group's partner!" He sighed as he watched their retreating figures. As far as he knew, the Morrisons and the Dagleshs were still competing against one another for the right to work with Cynthion Group. Ho
"Here's the thing, I'd like to have this green jadeite cut into nineteen plates of equal sizes. I wonder if there's any expert you know who can help me with it. I'll pay the service charge," Leon said. Though cutting jadeite was not all that challenging, it would be more appropriate to have an expert perform the task. "Sure. That's not a problem! Please give me a moment and I'll call an expert over now," the saleswoman said. Then, she went to the back of the shop and returned with an expert, who divided the green jadeite into nineteen pieces according to Leon's request. Once it was done, the saleswoman even took out a few beautiful gift boxes to pack the jadeite plates up, before handing them to Leon. "Sir, is there anything else you need?" she asked with a smile. "Not really! By the way, my name is Hugh Wolf. What's yours?" Leon asked. "Oh, hello, Mister Wolf. My name is Harley Stoll."The saleswoman had a good impression of Leon and Renee, so she did not hesitate to an
