"Well," Both Mateo and Candice felt ashamed. Candice initially thought that Leon was a despicable man with no actual skills. It was not until this moment that she realized she was wrong about him. He was both a formidable martial artist and a skilled doctor who managed to cure Elder Daglesh within a short period. On top of that, he even got Elder Daglesh to the Advanced Almighty State. His ability surpassed her imagination and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a hero. Leon was hardly the despicable man she thought he was and this realization brought shame to her. She was a prideful woman and could not bring herself to apologize to Leon even though Elder Daglesh demanded it. Mateo, on the other hand, experienced enough and was far more flexible compared to Candice. Upon learning that he misunderstood Leon, he instantly recognized his mistakes. He then strode toward Leon and bowed. "Mister Wolf, I was wrong for offending you. Please forgive me," he sa
"Elder Daglesh, thank you. But the Emperor Herb is too valuable and I can't accept it as a gift! How about I trade two Cleansing Pills for the Emperor Herb?" Leon said thoughtfully, before taking out two white pills from a flask and handing them to Elder Daglesh. "No! Mister Wolf, you saved my life and got me to the Advanced Almighty State. You have done the Dagleshs a great favor. There's nothing much we can do in return so just consider the Emperor Herb some sort of compensation. You don't need to trade your pills for it," Elder Daglesh said without accepting the pills. He was going to give it to Leon for free, to begin with. Since Leon cured him and helped him get to the Advanced Almighty State, an Emperor Herb was nothing as it would not be enough to repay what Leon did for him. Hence, there was no way that he would allow Leon to trade with pills. "It's fine, Elder Daglesh! Don't reject my offer just yet. You can make your decision after hearing what the Cleansing Pills do!
"It's true. Elder Daglesh, if you don't believe me, we can get Mister Jensen to try it on the spot!" Leon said. "That won't be necessary. We believe you, Mister Wolf!" Elder Daglesh and the others said hastily. Mateo did not believe in Leon's skills and even tried to stop Leon from treating Elder Daglesh forcefully. This almost hurt both Leon and Elder Daglesh. The reality proved that Leon was a skilled doctor. Not only did he cure Elder Daglesh, but he also miraculously got Elder Daglesh to the Advanced Almighty State. After what happened, he dared not to doubt Leon's words any longer. Besides, Elder Daglesh was going to give the Emperor Herb as a gift, and Leon was the one who refused and insisted on trading with two Cleansing Pills. It would not make sense for Leon to lie about the effect of the Cleansing Pills, and the Dagleshs knew this. "Alright! Elder Daglesh, since you believe in what I said, you wouldn't refuse the Cleansing Pills, right?" Leon smiled. "Well,
"Um, alright then! Mister Wolf, thank you!" Edler Daglesh no longer insisted and accepted Leon's offer in the end. With that, Leon traded two Cleansing Pills for Emperor Herb. "Leon's such an amazing person. I have underestimated him," A conflicted look appeared in Candice's eyes as she studied Leon's face. Due to previous misunderstandings, she assumed that Leon was a despicable man. At this moment, she realized how wrong she was. Not only was he formidable, but he was always modest and righteous. After curing Elder Daglesh, he insisted on trading the Cleansing Pills for Emperor Herb. Such virtue was admirable and rare, making him a rare gem. Instantly, her impression of Leon took a sharp turn, and the previous contempt she felt transformed into admiration. "Alright! Mister Wolf, we've taken up enough of your time. Please take your seat!" Just then, Elder Daglesh changed the subject. Though it was a shame that the Dagleshs could not partner with Cynthion Group, the
"We don't know that! Grandpa, my dad told you all that Leon isn't a good man! He's greedy and proposed an extremely unfavorable profit division. It's dangerous to work with someone so despicable! I think that Hugo will struggle to strike a deal with Leon!" A young man chimed in sarcastically. He was none other than Jayden's son, Georgie. Since Jayden almost ruined the opportunity to work with Cynthion Gorup, Elder Daglesh was enraged and grounded him. Hence, Georgie blamed Leon for causing this and was displeased with Hugo as well. If possible, he did not wish for Hugo to succeed. Once an alliance was formed between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group, Caleb and the elders would surely place more trust in Hugo, and Jayden's position would be threatened. This would hardly benefit him and his father. "Well," Hearing this, Caleb and the elders grew more worried. Just then, they heard footsteps approaching. Hugo and Renee strode in. "Hugo, Renee, you're finally back!" Caleb
"Yeah! Hugo, did Mister Wolf raise any additional condition?" ... The elders' hearts dropped as they turned to look at Hugo. After all, the profit division Leon proposed was too unfavorable and the Morrisons were barely accepting it. If Leon attempted to exploit them further for personal gain, the situation would be even less ideal. "No, Mister Wolf didn't ask for anything else. He did ask for our help to acquire a cosmetic firm though." Hugo shook his head, then recalled about the mention of acquiring a cosmetic firm. "What?" I knew that he was a greedy and cunning man! We've already spent close to 280 million on acquiring a pharmaceutical firm for him. Now, he's getting cocky and asking us to spend hundreds of millions more on another cosmetic firm! He sure knows how to bargain!" Georgie sneered. He knew that the Morrisons could benefit greatly from working with Cynthion Group, but the profit division Leon proposed was too unfavorable and the Morrisons would merely earn
"Grandpa, Leon's ruthless and cunning. We can't just let him mess with us!" Georgie was pleased that the others were offended and added fuel to the fire. However, before he could finish, Hugo interrupted him. "Georgie, that's enough. Mister Wolf isn't like that!" He turned to Caleb and the elders. "Grandpa, elders, you're all mistaken! Mister Wolf is generous and kind. He has never planned on having us help with the cosmetic firm without paying. That includes the pharmaceutical firms as well. He's already paid me all the money I used on acquiring the pharmaceutical firm," Hugo explained before recounting how Leon refused to accept the pharmaceutical firm for free. "Hugo, are you saying that he refused the gift?" "I see!" Realization dawned on Caleb and the others. They were all prepared to give the pharmaceutical firm to Leon for free to obtain the partnership with Cynthion Group. To their bewilderment, Leon refused it and paid them back. This took them by surprise and th
"Damn it! How can this happen," Contrary to the others' reaction, Georgie was shocked and his heart sank. He thought that Leon was a greedy man and wanted to take this opportunity to sow discord between the Morrisons and Cynthion Group, thus preventing Hugo from making an accomplishment. To his bewilderment, things turned out completely differently. Not only did Leon not accept the pharmaceutical firm the Morrisons offered, but he also returned all the money used. On top of that, Leon even proposed to increase their portion of profit to twenty-five percent. This completely caught Georgie by surprise and shattered his fantasy. "Cousin, I thought you said Leon is a despicable, greedy man. Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Renee mocked as she looked at Georgie with contempt. She knew that Georgie and Jayden were both on the same side. The two repeatedly attempted to ruin the partnership between Cynthion Group and the Morrisons mainly because they wanted to undermine
