Ashwin placed a copy of the contract in front of the middle-aged man. "Alright." Mister Mabre nodded and read through the contract, then could not help frowning. "Vice President Mercer, according to my company's accounting team, your company is only worth a little over 590 million, yet you're selling it at 650 million. Aren't you being a little too greedy?" "Um…Mister Mabre, President Young does intend to sell Elegante Group at 650 million dollars." Ashwin let out an awkward cough. "Well, that's what she intends, but I want to know her lowest rate." Mister Mabre asked, staring at Ashwin like a hawk. "President Young told me not to go below 630 million dollars…" Ashwin said hesitantly. "610 million dollars is still too much! Why don't you call President Young and ask her if she's willing to settle with 610 million dollars?" Mister Mabre asked. "Mister Mabre, you know the potential Elegante Group has for the future. If it weren't for the fact that the Youngs desperately n
Ashwin's face was etched with anticipation as he left with the contract. Since the selling price written in the previous contract was 650 million, he needed to reprint a new one with the revised price of 610 million dollars. Ashwin returned not long ago with the revised contract. "Shall we sign the papers now, Mister Mabre?" he asked, handing the papers to Mister. Mabre. "Sure!" Mister Mabre picked up his pen and was about to sign the papers when all of a sudden, a loud slam echoed through the room. The door had been kicked open, and Leon and Ariel strode into the room. "Ariel? Leon?" Ashwin was so shocked by this that he leaped out of his chair, his eyes ablaze with hatred. Before Leon left Elegante Group, he had gotten into several conflicts with Leon, and every time, he would end up losing in some way or another. Therefore, he was determined not to let Leon win this time! "Who are these people, Vice President Mercer?" Mister Mabre asked in surprise, glancing at Le
"So don't sign your contract. Leave the rest to me!" Ariel said, splaying her hands. "What? 780 million dollars? Don't patronize me!" Ashwin's jaw dropped at this. Elegante Group's selling price was only 650 million dollars, yet Ariel was claiming that someone was willing to buy the company at 780 million dollars—he would be an idiot to believe her! "I'm not! I've already settled the necessary processing pertaining to the shares and the funds. I'll explain all this to Iris, and if she signs the equity transfer agreement, she'll receive the money immediately!" Ariel replied calmly. "No, I don't allow this!" Ashwin immediately objected. He had already pledged loyalty to Jacob and even accepted Mister Mabre's offer of giving him seven million dollars as a reward, but now that he was just one signature away from getting his hands on all this, Ariel had popped out of nowhere to ruin all his plans! "Why not? I managed to find someone willing to pay much more than your buyer does, so
"Hey, you twat, you'd better give that back right this instant, or else!" Mister Mabre was so outraged by this that he smacked the table and stood up. "Or else what? Show me what you got!" Leon chuckled and shot Mister Mabre a leering glance. "Hey, you asked for it!" Mister Mabre was utterly infuriated and immediately turned to glance at the two guards behind him. "Punish him for this, and don't hesitate to give it all you got, break his arms if you must, as long as you get the contract back!" "Yes, sir." The two guards stepped forward. Seeing this, Ashwin picked himself off the ground hastily and, remembering Leon's achievements from when they worked together, he quickly reminded, "Mister Mabre, this man knows martial arts, and he can take on several guards at once. Please tell your guards to be careful…" "That's okay, this is nothing! Don't worry, Vice President Mercer, these two are the martial artists that Master sent me, and no matter how good this twat is, he won't b
One did not need to be a rocket scientist to know that Leon was no match for Warren at all! "Thud!" Leon's finger made contact with Warren's, and with a loud crack, Warren's finger snapped in half. The spiritual energy seeping out of Leon's finger immediately tore Warren's true energy apart, slamming against his chest with a force that sent him flying. "Ah—" Warren's entire body was propelled backward, and with a loud thud, he hit the wall behind him and crumpled onto the ground. "How…how can this be?" Ashwin, Mister Mabre, and Dexter all stared at Leon with astounded looks. Neither of them ever thought that Leon's seemingly slow and weak attack would break Warren's finger and hurt him so severely! If they had not witnessed this with their own eyes, they would never believe this was true! Dexter was the most shocked out of all of them. He knew the extent of Warren's powers, and he did not sense any true energy in Leon at all, thus all the while he had been under the impres
Now that they had witnessed the true extent of Leon's powers, they were beginning to feel frightened of Dexter's outcome. "Don't worry, I lost because I underestimated thank punk, but Dexter is more powerful than I am, and it will be easy for him to defeat him!" Warren declared confidently. "That's good to hear." Ashwin and Mister Mercer let out sighs of relief as the weight lifted off their shoulders. Neither of them practiced martial arts, so they did not know what was happening, but since Warren, who was an expert in this, was confident that Dexter would win, they would believe him! A glimmer of hope ignited within them after hearing Warren's declarations. Leon ignored them entirely and instead turned to gaze at Dexter. "Do you have a death wish too?" "Don't be so full of yourself, you punk! So what if you're a practitioner of the External Powers at the Peak Advanced State? I'll show you who's boss now!" Dexter snarled as a surge of energy emitted from him. "You? Show
They were utterly stunned by the sight before them. The entire room seemed to fall silent. "Leon, that…that was amazing!" Ariel was the first to break out of her stupor. Her entire face was bright red with excitement, and her eyes were glinting with delight. She had witnessed Leon fighting with other people a few times in the past, but this was the first time she had ever seen him use something so powerful. It seemed he was far more formidable than she ever imagined him to be! Most importantly, she had always taken a liking to strong, athletic men like this, and Leon had, on several occasions, saved her from danger. This struck a chord within her, and she could feel herself falling even deeper for this man! "What…what was that?" as opposed to Ariel's joy, however, Ashwin and Mister Mabre were both pale with fear as they began to tremble. They were both utterly blown away by Leon's display of power, and Ashwin had even almost wet himself! Before Leon left Elegante Group,
"Mister Lowe? Who are you talking about?" Leon paused, and his leg froze in mid-air. "Who else can I possibly be talking about? Of course I'm referring to Jacob Lowe, son of the Northern King!" Ashwin quickly clung to his last hope. The Lowes were one of the most influential forces in the city, and Jacob was the direct descendant of the Lowe bloodline. Even though Leon was a master martial artist, the Lowes were known for birthing and nurturing powerful fighters. With Jacob behind his back, no matter how powerful Leon was, Ashwin was certain that he would not dare to hurt him! "I can't believe it's him!" after a brief moment of surprise, Leon burst into laughter. He had crossed paths with Jacob numerous times, and never once had Jacob made it out unscathed. He could not believe that Ashwin was attempting to use Jacob to scare him! However, on second thought, Leon realized something was amiss. Ashwin was representing Iris on this business meeting with Mister Mabre, so what d
