The next morning in a hotel room, Renee arrived shortly after Leon woke up. "Renee, why are you here?" Leon was quite surprised that Renee would come to him two days in a row. "Leon, I came because I needed to speak with you about something," Renee said. Last night, Hugo and the others agreed to speed up the process of the acquisition. However, the paperwork required time. To prevent any accident from taking place, she came to the hotel to look for Leon early in the morning. This was her way of stalling and preventing Leon from visiting the Dagleshs before Hugo completed all the procedures. If Leon ended up working with the Dagleshs, everything would be too late. "What is it?" Leon asked. "I'll tell you about it later on. Just come with me. I'll take you to a place. You'll know what it is once you arrive." Renee intentionally acted mysteriously. "Um, alright! Let's go!" Leon was thoughtful and could not figure out what she was trying to do. Hence, he intended to fol
"Leon, what do you think of this company? Can it compare to Cynthion Group in terms of facilities and scale?" Renee asked with a smile. "It's not bad. It's grand with sufficient facilities, making it comparable to Cynthion Group," Leon said. "Great! That means you are satisfied with this company, right?" Renee became even more confident. "Yeah, I am! But why does that matter?" Leon nodded, before realizing something was off. "It's good to know that you are happy with this, Mister Wolf!" Just then, a refreshing voice sounded. Hugo strode out of the pharmaceutical firm with two middle-aged men who were dressed in suits, looking like the stereotypical elite. "Mister Morrison, why are you here?" Leon was surprised to see her. He glanced at Renee, then at Hugo in bafflement, not knowing what they were up to. "Mister Wolf, this pharmaceutical firm was acquired by the Morrisons as a gift to Cynthion Group. If you are satisfied with it, you can have it. With this firm, you woul
"Leon, what happened before is our fault, but Hugo never meant for things to turn out this way. He's always wanted to work with Cynthion Group and has worked hard for it. Out of consideration for his effort, please agree to partner with us," Renee chimed in when she spotted the troubled look on Leon's face. She stared at him, doe-eyed, pleading for Leon to hand over the opportunity to the Morrisons. "I-" Leon paled. He, too, knew that Hugo was a talented individual. Back in the southern region, Hugo saw through the potential of Cynthion Gorup and decisively sought a partnership on behalf of the Morrisons. That was how they reached the initial agreement. This proved that Hugo was perceptive and sharp. On top of that, Hugo was reliable as well. To work with Cynthion Group, he managed to gather all the herbs Leon needed for the alchemical pills within a short period, then acquire a pharmaceutical firm to resolve Leon's concern for the branch in the western region. This s
"Good!" Upon learning that Jayden was punished, Leon realized that Caleb and the elders recognized their mistakes and were relieved. He considered for a moment and added, "I have another demand! If we form a partnership, I want all matters to be controlled by you or Miss Morrison! Others, including Elder Morrison, will have no right to interfere with any decision-making! Otherwise, I reserve the right to revoke the partnership at any time!" Leon said. Since Caleb and the elders were too arrogant, Leon had a horrible impression on them all. Though they recognized their mistakes, he was still concerned. For safety measures, he wished for Hugo to be fully in charge to avoid the others from meddling and causing any loss for Cynthion Group. Apart from Hugo, Leon also had a decent impression of Renee after spending a few days with her. Back at the hotel, he was prepared to give up on the Morrisons. It was Renee's words that changed his mind and convinced him to give the Morrisons
"It's fine! Mister Wolf, my grandpa, and the elders have offended you. Consider this pharmaceutical firm a gift from us as an apology. You don't have to pay me back," Hugo smiled. Though they spent a fortune on this pharmaceutical firm, he successfully obtained a partnership with Cynthion Group. This was more than enough. To make up for the Morrisons' mistakes and show how sincere they were, he intended to offer the company as a gift. "No way! I didn't do anything to deserve this. The Morrisons acquired this firm for Cynthion Group and this saves me a lot of time and effort. I'm already thankful for that. I can't just let the Morrisons pay for it!" Leon shook his head. There were appropriate ways to make profits. This was a large pharmaceutical firm that would cost hundreds of millions. As a friend, he could accept a gift from Hugo that cost a few million, but not a firm that cost this much. He could not possibly accept something so expensive and allow the Morrisons to
"Mister Wolf, here's the thing; You've just taken over this company and may not know much about it. If you want to transform it into a branch for Cynthion Group, you'll need quite a lot of time. These two are talented individuals and capable. If it's okay with you, I can arrange for them to help with managing all related matters so that your branch can be up and running as soon as possible," Leon explained. "I see!" Realization dawned on Leon. Now that he reached an agreement with the Morrisons, his priority was to establish the branch and produce alchemical pills as soon as possible. However, the need for alchemical pills was high and this would take him a lot of time and effort. He was only one person and may not be able to manage this branch or transform this pharmaceutical firm into a branch for Cynthion Group. Hugo was considerate enough to consider his struggles and even arranged for two talented individuals to manage the new branch. This worked perfectly for Leon and
"What? Mister Wolf, are you serious? Are you willing to increase the portion twenty-five percent?" Hugo was overjoyed. Though it was just an increase of five percent, it was a great fortune when it came from a highly profitable firm like Cynthion Group. This would at least guarantee the Morrisons hundreds of millions each year or even more. Caleb and the elders were reluctant to work with Cynthion Group because they wanted to benefit more. After all the tricks they played, they failed and almost cost them the opportunity to partner with Cynthion Group. Yet, Leon was now willing to increase their portion to twenty-five percent and this caught Hugo by surprise. Instantly, he was both shocked and pleasantly surprised. "Of course, I'm serious!" Leon nodded. Profit was a great motivator for anyone. He knew that the profit division he offered was quite low and the Morrisons were aiming to gain more. This was normal and he could empathize. However, a line had to be drawn
After the call was connected, Leon had a brief conversation with Jensen. He already promised to visit the Dagleshs' mansion and set the time for his visit at noon. However, Renee was dragging him around throughout the morning and the time he spent with Hugo took quite a lot of time, so he was not able to head to the Dagleshs' mansion. Jensen waited for a long time and Leon was nowhere to be seen, so he decided to call and check on Leon. Leon merely agreed to visit because he preferred to work with the Dagleshs at the time and wanted to discuss with Elder Dagleshs in private. The situation changed and since he already reached an agreement with the Morrisons, there was no reason for him to visit the Dagleshs' mansion. Still, the Dagleshs were quite sincere and Leon already made a promise, so it would be rude of him to change his mind and not visit them. With that in mind, he decided to visit the Dagleshs and inform them about his agreement with the Morrisons. At the very
