Inside the villa.
Leonard sat down on the sofa.
Anthony accompanied him on the side.
Originally, Anthony had good intentions when he asked the wealthy families in Imperial City, such as the Moody, Marlow, and Wood family, to invest in Leonardâs company.
He wanted to take the opportunity to please Leonard, the heir of the Galen Group.
However, to his surprise, these sons of wealthy families had so many guts that they dared to mess with Leonard âMr. Santons, what are you going to do about the three companiesâ investments in Santos Group?â
Anthony hesitated and asked.
*Reject them. They canât even educate their sons well. Theyâll only bring trouble to the Santos Group if we accept their investments.â
Leonard said coldly. âThis little amount of money is not that crucial to Santos Group,â
Although the three major families were giants to the people of Newden and even wealthier than people like Waylon, Leonard was more than capable of getting investments.
Thus, there was absolutely no need for him to let just anyone into the company.
Hearing what Leonard said, a trace of disappointment flashed in Anthonyâs eyes.
In his opinion, just as fish prefer muddy waters and avoid clear streams, no one was perfect. Thus, he felt that since Leonard had already vented his anger, he should now use the stickâandâcarrot approach.
The investment from the three major families would allow Santos Group to grow rapidly.
Plus, he was the one who acted as the middleman and convinced the three families to invest in Leonard. Otherwise, how could Leonard get such large investors so easily? This was an opportunity that would not arise again once it was missed.
Although Anthony thought so in his mind, he remained calm and nodded. âOkay, Mr. Santos, I will inform the three of them right now. Their young sons offended you. Itâs only right for them to suffer the consequences.â
âBy the way, Anthony, did you really come to Newden this time just to find investors? As far as I know, no one in Newden should be important for you to come personally.â
Leonard asked the question he had been wanting to ask.
Anthony shook his head. âOf course not.
âThe investment thing is just a cover. My true goal here is to find a treasure.
âI got the news some time ago that people from various major families of the southern border and the members of Asura Sect are all gathered in Newden, seemingly to fight for a certain treasure.
âThatâs why I came to Newden to check it out in person. Asura Sect has always been our sworn enemy of the Galen Group. Of course, I canât let the treasure fall into their hands.â
âSo, youâre here for the Blood Emerald Pearl.â Leonard said, âIâll handle this matter. You can leave it alone.â
âYou know about the Blood Emerald Pearl, Mr. Santos?â
Anthony was a little surprised.
But then he shook his head and said, âAsura Sect is going all out to get the Blood Emerald Pearl. As one of the top forces in the world, although the Asura Sect is not as powerful as the Galen Group, they are not drastically inferior.
âMr. Santos, youâre taking an enormous risk here to compete with such a powerful force. It wonât be easyâ¦â
âI already have it.â Leonard interrupted Anthonyâs words.
Anthonyâs face was suddenly filled with astonishment.
âMr. Santos, youâre not joking, are you?â
Leonard smiled and said, âOf course not. So, you donât have to worry about the Blood Emerald Pearl anymore.â
âUnderstood, Mr. Santos.â
Anthony nodded.
At this time, Leonard took out a small box from his pocket.
12:16 D âThis is a gin I prepared for Ibrahim. He has been refusing to see me. Please give it to him for me After Leonard handed Anthony the necklace he bought from Waylon Museum laut time, he stood up and left.
Anthony hurriedly sent Leonard out.
âMr. Santos, that Ferrari has been damaged and needs repair. You can drive one of my cars first.â
âNo need. Iâm going to buy a bicycle and exercise every day After Leonard left. Anthony sighed and looked at his subordinate next to him âWhat do you think of him?
âMr. Santos is vigorous, sharp, and brave. Plus, there seems to be a sense of pride engraved into hit bones. Heâs the type of capable young man that is rare nowadays Anthony nodded âYes, there is no way the person chosen by Mr. Clarkson is bad. Itâs just that, being as young as he is, heâs a bit arrogant and palive. He hasnât learned how to weigh things before making decisions.
âLike today, now that he has already vented his anger, he could have asked the three major families of Imperial City to invest in the Santos Group, but he refused.
âForget it, letâs not talk about him. Anyway, I havenât completely taken a side yet. I shall wait and see how things go.
âBy the way, is there any movement on Asura Sectâs side?â
The subordinate next to Anthony said hurriedly, âI heard that a master from Asura Sect is coming to Newden this time. Itâs probably not going to be easy to deal with him.â
Upon hearing this, Anthonyâs face darkened, showing a bit of worry.
âMr. Santos said that he has the Blood Emerald Pearl. Once Asura Sectâs master arrives, heâll definitely target Mr. Santos.
âYou must pay close attention to this matter. Although Mr. Santos is a bit arrogant, he is the young master of our Galen Group, after all. If he is harmed under my nose, Mr. Clarkson will definitely blame me for it.â
âDonât worry, Mr. Walker. If there is any news, I will report it to you as soon as possible.â
âOkay, I have complete faith in your ability to handle the matter well.â Anthony nodded approvingly.
In Imperial City.
This was a huge manor with beautiful scenery.
To have such an enormous manor in Imperial City, a place where land was extremely valuable, clearly displayed the extraordinary status of the owner.
The owner of this manor was none other than the Morris family.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall was solemn.
An old man in his severities was sitting on the main seat in the hall. His face was as dark as night, and murderous intent surged in his eyes.
He was Tyler Morris, the head of the Morris family.
Although he was already over seventy years old, he did not look that old at all.
Escrge for some gray hair, he totally looked like a middleâaged man.
Who killed my grandsonâ
Tylerâs cold yes swept across the whole hall of the Morris family members These prople, who umally were big shots in Imperial City, were now trembling with trepidation and not daring to even breathe loudly âDad. I went someone to investigate. The person who killed Brian was a young man. His specific background is not clear yet âBut he should be somewhat related to the people from King Pharmacyâ
The middleâaged man who spoke was named Simon Morris, Brianâs father and Tylerâs eldest son.
âHow dare he kill a direct member of my family? Iâm going to shred him into pieces! Tyler said with murderous intent.
He was outside the city for summer vacation to dodge the heat when he heard the newes, and he rushed back to Imperial City overnight At this moment, a figure hurriedly walked in 12:16)
After the man walked in, he first greeted Simon and Tyler, then said, âThere is news from Newden. The name of the person who killed Mr. Brian Morris is called Leonard Santos.
âWe followed the lead of King Pharmacy to investigate and found that this person had appeared at the birthday banquet of Reg Dewey, a wealthy man in Newden.
âAlso, he has a good relationship with Waylon Lambert, president of the Newden Chamber of Commerce, and Parker Evans, the Governor.â
âSo he does have a bit of background. No wonder he dared to touch a member of my family. However, even if it were the Governor of Newden who dared to kill my grandson, he would have to pay with his life.â Tyler snorted coldly.
The subordinate who just walked in hurriedly shook his head and said, âBut the really tricky part is not this, but this personâs own martial arts strength.â
âHe could kill Andrew. So, of course, heâs not weak.â Tyler said coldly, âSo what if heâs a Strength Realm master? Iâll still make him suffer a painful death.â
The subordinate shook his head again and said, âThis person is probably more terrifying than a Strength Realm master. I have a video recorded on the cruise ship at that time. You will know after watching it.â
As he spoke, he took out his phone, brought up the video, and handed it to Tyler.
