The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1431
“Good, very good! Leon, you are capable. You’re with four women at once! That’s just too shameless!”
Patrick was furious.
“Grandfather, it’s not what you think,” Leon felt incredibly frustrated. He wanted to explain things but found himself struggling for the proper words.
Patrick ignored Leon’s protests. He said angrily, “Iris, do you see this? This brat is scum! You need to break up with him right now!”
“Grandfather, I can’t explain it to you right now, but Leon isn’t like what you think I won’t leave him,” Iris
shook her head and said with a firm attitude.
Even the Shears and the Youngs already gave their silent approval for Iris and Cynthia, nothing Patrick said
would work!
With her feelings for Leon, she would not leave Leon even if the entire world was against them being together!
“You are hopeless!” Patrick was at the limits of his patience.
He could not understand what Leon was feeding Iris for Iris to be so loyal to him, even being willing to share
Leon with other women!
It was just too absurd!
It was very hard for him to accept it!
“Grandfather, Leon, and I still have things we need to get done. We’ll take out leave for now.”
Feeling Patrick’s anger, Iris knew there was no point dwelling on the matter, so she hurriedly bid her
farewells.
Leon was the same. He did not want to continue suffering from Patrick’s anger, so he immediately hurried
away with Iris and the rest of them.
“Despicable! I’m so angry!”
Looking at Leon leaving with Iris and the others, Patrick was furious. He slammed his fist on a large tree next to him and the tree broke immediately, falling with a loud boom.
“Dad, calm down. Since Iris is a willing party in this, just let it go,” Damian said.
Damian did not approve of Leon being with so many women, but he owed Leon his life. On top of that, Iris was adamant that she wanted to be with Leon, so there was nothing Damian could do!
“No, I can’t just let this slide! Iris must just have been fooled by Leon’s sweet nothings because of her age. That’s why she’s in this situation! In the next two days or so, have her come over to see us alone. I’ll make sure to give her some proper advice and help her see the light before it’s too late!” Patrick took a deep breath, trying his hardest to calm himself down.
After what happened, he was already sure of Leon’s character. He felt like Leon was probably a womanizer like Nigel was!
As Iris‘ grandfather, he would not allow Iris to ruin her life at the hands of someone like that!
“Yes, that’s fine,” Damian said.
After that, Damian left with Penny and Patrick.
Only Nigel, Rick, and the others were left.
“Dad, what do we do now?” Eugene asked.
“I can’t believe Leon’s a womanizer. I guess this is a good thing for us! If he ends up having a huge fight with the Scammells over this, it’ll be much easier for us to deal with him!” Rick sneered.
“That’s right! Grandfather, you have to take revenge for me after Leon broke my legs like that!” Nigel said vengefully.
“Nigel, don’t worry! As long as Patrick and the others can convince Iris to leave Leon, we’ll be able to bury him when he loses the help of the first line!” Rick said coldly.
Leon did not just heavily injure Nigel and Eugene, he even advised Patrick to get rid of the second line!
Thanks to that, he hated Leon to the core. He wanted nothing more than to just destroy Leon for revenge!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1432
In the next few days, Leon was in a weakened state due to the Dragon Pill, so he was forced to rest for a few days at home.
During that time, he realized that the security at the company was quite weak after Nigel managed to capture Ruth and Cynthia. So, he had the Sharp brothers transfer over from Springfield City.
The brothers already started training with their Advanced Power Method a long time ago. After training for so long, the two of them improved a lot!
Spencer broke into the Semi Overlord State not too long ago. Meanwhile, Stephen became a peak Supreme Master a long time ago, and was not far away from the Semi Overlord state!
Even though the two of them were not considered very strong in the Southern Region, it was still better than nothing!
On the other hand, after Leon’s ‘womanizing‘ situation, Patrick lost all favor for Leon. However, since Iris was still not willing to break up with Leon and since Leon saved Damian’s life before, the Scammells were still working with Leon.
In the last two days, Damian prepared various materials for Leon based on their agreement!
On top of that, Cynthia managed to get a huge batch of materials from the Shears as well. They were fully prepared for Leon’s pill–making!
Once Leon recovered, he would be able to start making pills immediately.
After a few days of hard work, Leon managed to refine over a hundred Advanced Pure Energy Pills and over thirty thousand Advanced Energy Nurturing Pills. He even made countless more mundane pills like the Beauty Pills and the Circulation Pills!
Everything was ready for the final push!
Since the first batch of pills were ready, it was time for them to officially start the operation of the branch
company.
In the morning, Leon was discussing the business with Iris, Cynthia, and the others while they had breakfast.
“Leon, I’m planning on holding a huge sales drive in three days. Within these three days, we need to figure out a way to properly get word of our pills out so we can attract the attention of the large ancient martial arts families. The more people who attend the sales drive, the better. It’ll help bolster the reputation of the company and the Energy Nurturing Pills,” Cynthia voiced her thoughts.
Back when Cynthion Group first started in Springfield City, they managed to spread the word about the Energy Nurturing Pills and the company, which led them to amazing success!
With those valuable experiences, she felt like the branch company would definitely succeed if they followed the same steps!
“Yes, this is a good idea! However, this is the Southern region, not Springfield City. We don’t know much about this place, and we don’t have any connections or influence. It won’t be easy to get the word out this
time!” Leon said seriously.
He knew very well that the Shears‘ influence played a large part in the success of Cyntion Group in Springfield City.
The Shears were one of the four great families in Springfield City. they had a lot of power there.
Back then, Cynthion Group relied on the Shears‘ marketing to attract the major families to attend the sales drive. Then, the miraculous nature of the Energy Nurturing Pills helped the group spread their name, immediately becoming incredibly well known!
It was a different situation here.
A few of them just arrived, and did not have any influence in the Southern region at all!
Even if they tried to spread the word through marketing and advertising, it would just gain the attention of the regular folk. There was no way it would attract the major families and the richest clientele to attend the sales drive.
If no one attended the sales drive or even if there were too few members, then the Energy Nurturing Pills‘ miraculous effects would be useless!
Then, Cynthion Group would probably need at least two to three years to truly develop in the Southern region.
That would take too long. It was not in line with the company’s target of rapid expansion!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1433
“Leon, don’t worry! The Scammells are an ancient martial arts family. They have to have some influence in the southern region! Why don’t the two of us go over and talk to my grandfather later? If we manage to get his help to promote Cynthion Group, wouldn’t everything be solved?” Iris consoled.
“Let’s forget about that for now! He’s still angry. Even if we go ask him for help, he probably won’t agree! Let’s not look for trouble..” Leon said awkwardly.
Due to Cynthia’s matter, Patrick’s impression of him was already incredibly bad.
Leon was already thankful that Patrick did not force Damian to stop working with him. He held out no hope that Patrick would help him with the marketing!
There was practically no chance it would happen!
“That-” Iris was speechless.
She knew what Leon said was right. If she went to ask Patrick for help with Leon, even if Patrick agreed, he would probably take the chance to ask her to break up with Leon!
It was not something she wanted to happen!
“Leon, what do we do? If the branch company wants to hold a sales drive, we need to have enough marketing to get the word out. Otherwise, it would impact the branch very badly!” Cynthia said with some worry.
The foundation was already set for the branch company, and the pills were already refined. If the sales drive failed because of the lack of marketing, then all their efforts for the past few days would be wasted!
“Cynthia, don’t worry. Let me think about it for now. I’ll see if there’s any other way,” Leon rubbed his temples with a difficult expression.
It was not just him, Iris, Ruth, and Snow were silent as well. A few of them thought about it, and no one could figure out a better solution.
Just as Leon was feeling stumped, he suddenly heard his phone ring. After that, he took it out and saw that it
was Raphael calling.
“Mister Westwood, of course!” Leon suddenly had an idea in his might.
“What happened?” Iris and the others were a bit confused.
“Well, last time I went out with Iirs to get the jades, I happened to get to know Raphael of the Westwoods. I could ask him to get his family to help us with the marketing,” Leon explained with a smile.
After what happened at the jade store, he knew that the Westwoods were one of the ancient martial arts families in the Southern region. Their power and influence should be on the level of the Scammells.
If Raphael was willing to help, he would not need to beg Patrick for him!
“Yes, Raphael wanted to form some good ties with you last time. If you ask him for help, he probably won’t refuse,” Iris said with a nod.
Iris was the one to go with Leon to the jade store. The others did not know who Raphael was, but she did. She could tell that Raphael was quite a reliable and extraordinary young man!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1434
After that, Leon pushed down the happiness in his heart as he answered Raphael’s call.
“Hello, Mister Westwood. Do you need me for something?” Leon asked.
“Mister Wolf, it’s like this. I have something I need your help with,” Raphael’s voice was heard on the other
end.
“Oh? Is that so? That’s a coincidence then! I happen to have something I need your help with as well,” Leon was happy to hear that.
Even though Raphael asked to be friends before, the two of them were still not that close.
He was still worried that Raphael might not agree if he asked for Raphael’s help in spreading the word about the pills.
However, since Raphael had something he needed from Leon as well, then it would be much easier!
“Mister Wolf, what do you need my help with?” Raphael asked curiously.
“It’s a long story.”
Leon thought about it and said, “Mister Westwood, where are you right now? I’ll go see you. We can talk
once we meet.”
“Yes, that’s a good idea! I’ll wait for you at the jade store!” Raphael agreed. After that, the two of them hung
up.
“Leon, are you planning on going to see Raphael? Let me go with you!” Iris stood up and said.
“No need, I’ll just go myself! You’ve been busy going everywhere with me the past few days. You must be tired. Just rest at home today and think about Elegante’s matters,” Leon said after some thought.
Both Cynthion Group and Elegante were his. Iris was in charge of Elegante, while Cynthia was in charge of Cynthion Group.
Cynthion Group was already about to start operations, but Elegante was still lacking a direction. After he finished everything he needed to do for the sales drive, he would quickly establish a branch for Elegante in the Southern region.
“Alright then,” Iris nodded.
Elegante was already at a bottleneck in its growth. As the person in charge of the company, she wanted to establish a branch company as soon as possible for the growth of the company.
After that, Leon drove away from the villa.
Leon just started driving when Iris‘ phone rang. She saw that it was a call from Damian.
“Hello Uncle, do you need me for something?” Iris asked after she answered.
“Iris, how goes Leon’s pill making?” Damian said.
Ever since Leon and Iris left with the others the last time, Patrick asked Damian to find a chance to ask Iris over privately.
So, he called Iris a few times in the past few days, wanting Iris to come over for a visit. However, Leon needed Iris and Snow’s help when he was refining the pills, so Iris never got the time to go over them.
“Oh, the first batch of pills is already done. Leon’s currently preparing for marketing. We plan on having an opening sales drive in three days,” Iris answered truthfully,
“A sales drive? That’s quite a good idea! However, you and Leon aren’t familiar with the area. It’ll probably be hard to get the word out. Do you need our help with that?” Damian asked.
“I do want the family’s help, but would grandfather agree?” Iris said with a helpless sigh.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1435
“He’s still angry even after a few days, so it does seem unlikely that he’ll agree. However, it’ll be easier to
deal with things in person. Why don’t you come over right now and talk to him face–to–face? I’ll help you put a few good words in as well. He might agree after that,” Damian consoled.
“No, even if I go see him, he’ll probably just lecture me like last time. I think I should just not go over and make him angry,” Iris said without any hesitation.
Before that, Damian called her to ask her over to visit two times before. She already guessed that Patrick, Damian, and the others probably wanted to talk her into breaking up with Leon!
It was because of that, that she used the excuse of helping Leon to reject them.
“Iris, I know you don’t want to leave Leon, but Leon is crossing the line a little by wanting to be with so many women at once. Father is just objecting to it for your sake. He doesn’t want you to suffer. I think you have to properly talk to him. You can’t just keep avoiding it. Even if you manage to avoid it for the moment, you can’t keep hiding forever,” Damian said with a sigh.
“That-”
Iris was a bit speechless.
She knew that Damian was right. Patrick and the Scammells were her family. Even if Patrick was against her being with Leon, surely she could not avoid Patrick her whole life.
The best choice was to steel her heart and have a proper talk with Patrick. She needed to convince Patrick to accept Leon. Only then would the problem be solved!
“Iris, don’t worry. I’ve always been neutral about this! If you insist on being with Leon, then I’ll try my best to talk to him for your sake and convince him to accept Leon! Other than that, if this thing can be handled properly, we’ll be able to help you do the marketing for Cynthion Group as well. Then, Leon wouldn’t have to figure out another way,” Damian advised.
He was not lying about that. Since he owed Leon a debt and Iris was willingly together with Leon, he respected Iris‘ decision!
However, he could do nothing about the fact that Patrick was refusing to accept it!
“Okay, fine then. I’ll go over right now!” Iris thought about it and agreed in the end.
It was like Damian said, she could not avoid this forever. She would need to face it head–on and deal with it
eventually!
Furthermore, Leon might not succeed in asking Damian for help!
If she managed to convince Patrick to accept Leon, or if the Scammells were willing to help, then Leon would have a backup plan!
Of course, if both the Scammells and the Westwoods were willing to help, it would be amazing!
Both sides working together would mean even more influence. They would be able to attract even more attention, which could only be good news for the sales drive!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1436
In the jade store, Leon met Raphael in a VIP room toward the back.
“It’s been a while, Mister Wolf!” Raphael greeted Leon with a smile.
After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, the two of them sat down.
“Mister Westwood, what do you need my help with?” Leon asked right away.
“It’s quite simple, why don’t we talk about your deal first?” Raphael offered.
“Oh, alright then. I established a medical company a few days before, and we’re planning on selling some pills. I just wanted to ask you and your family to help us spread the word,” Leon said simply, telling Raphael about the planned sales drive in three days.
“Marketing some pills? Alright, that’s not a problem. Leave this to me!” Raphael said quickly.
He thought that Leon was just selling some common pills, so he did not think too much about it.
“Actually,” Leon opened his mouth to speak, but he stopped after that.
He wanted to tell Raphael about the effects of the Pure Energy Pilsl and the Energy Nurturing Pills before discussing what they could do about getting their name out.
However, Raphael seemed to be in a hurry and agreed too quickly. So, Leon decided to swallow his words.
“Mister Westwood, let’s talk about your situation,” Leon said. He wanted to deal with Raphael’s matter first. It would not be too late to tell Raphael about the pills after that.
“It’s like this. I just heard some news in the morning that there’s a Mystical Dragon Jade in the black market. I just don’t know if it’s real or not. I wanted you to help me to take a look to verify its authenticity.”
Raphael looked quite eager as he voiced his request.
“A Dragon Jade? What’s that?” Leon was quite confused.
He knew of the black market. It was a place where the underworld dealt. Normally, objects with doubtful origins or that were acquired from illegal means would be sold there!
However, he did not know what a Mystical Dragon Jade was!
“A Mystical Dragon Jade is one of the top jades. It’s an incredible masterpiece. Currently, imperial greens are the most valuable jades you can see in the market! However, there’s a type of jade that is even rarer than imperial greens. It’s the Dragon Jades. These jades have already been lost for almost a hundred years. I don’t know why it suddenly appeared again,” Raphael explained simply.
The Mystical Dragon Jade was a special kind of jade that was found in caves. Not only was the shine and the quality incredibly perfect, it even had an amazing ability to regulate temperature!
On top of that, there was even a rumor that Dragon Jades contained the essence of nature, so they could help in the training of martial artists. It was an incredibly valuable treasure!
Meanwhile, the Mystical Dragon Jade was the best of the Dragon Jades. It was legendary. It was incredibly hard to find one, and it was easily more expensive than any imperial green.
The value of the Dragon Jades was plain to see!
On the other hand, since the Dragon Jades were already lost for close to a hundred years, Raphael only heard of them before. He never saw one, so he had no way of verifying if they were real or not!
However, ever since he met Leon and saw Leon opening the royal purple and the Four–Colored Jadeite, he could tell that Leon had an unbeatable eye for these things!
He invited Leon over because he wanted Leon to help him take a look. He needed to see if the Dragon Jade in the black market was the real deal!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1437
“So that’s it! I can’t believe there’s something even more valuable than the imperial greens.”
Leon realized something after listening to Raphael’s explanation.
“Wait, that’s weird! Mister Wolf, have you never heard of the Dragon Jades or the Mystical Dragon Jade before?”
Raphael was surprised. He suddenly had an uneasy feeling in his heart.
“Yes, this is my first time hearing about it,” Leon nodded.
“That-
Raphael was dumbfounded.
He thought that Leon was some Jade expert who experienced a lot. So, he felt Leon would be very skilled in the identification of Jades!
Yet, he never expected that Leon would not have even heard of the Mystical Dragon Jades before, and was completely in the dark when it came to Dragon Jades. Leon did not even seem to have ever heard about it!
How could Leon verify the jade that way?
Suddenly, he felt himself sweating in worry.
Leon could see Raphael’s concern. After some hesitation, he said, “Mister Westwood, don’t worry. I’ll do my best to help you out with this.”
Even though he said that, he was not confident at all!
However, Raphael just agreed to help him with the marketing of his pills. There was no way he could reject Raphael!
Furthermore, he determined the quality of jade through its spiritual energy and did not rely on looking at them. Normally, the better the quality of the jade, the more pure and dense the spiritual energy was!
Since the Dragon Jade was something even better than imperial greens, and even had the power of temperature regulation, it would probably have spiritual energy that was pure beyond compare!
If Raphael only needed Leon’s help in verifying if the jade was real or not, there should not be any problems!
“That-”
“Alright then, I guess that’s the only thing we can do now,” Raphael was feeling a bit depressed.
Based on his information, the black market was about to auction that Dragon Jade very soon. It was already too late for him to seek out someone else!
Furthermore, he was already a jade expert himself as the person in charge of the store. There were not many masters that could claim to be better than him!
Even he never saw a Dragon Jade before and had no way to determine its authenticity. Even if he found anyone else, it would probably be useless!
Compared to that, it was a better idea to bring Leon over and see what happened. Leon might end up providing him with valuable opinions!
With that in mind, Raphael decided to make the best out of the situation. After that, he called out to Leon, and the two of them left the jade store, heading straight to the black market.
They arrived at a luxurious skyscraper in the city. It was a high–end private gathering spot. The black market was in the basement of the building.
When Leon and Raphael arrived, they walked out of the car.
Behind them were two Westwood bodyguards. They looked incredibly impressive.
At that moment, there were a few muscular men in black clothes standing guard by the door. They had a sharp look in their eyes, and they looked quite intimidating.
Raphael walked forward and showed his membership status before they allowed him inside.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1438
After entering the tower, Raphael seemed very familiar with the place as he led Leon to the basement.
“Mister Westwood, what kind of place is the black market? Does it belong to anyone from the underworld?”
Leon asked curiously.
When he was in Springfield City, he never visited the black market before. However, he was quite close to the Southern King, and he heard about the black market from Vincent. So, he knew that the black market would usually involve some major power in the underworld.
“Yes, this is the Black Gorilla’s territory. He’s a subordinate of the Southern Boss,” Raphael nodded and said.
“Who’s the Southern Boss?” Leon was surprised.
“The Southern Boss is one of the four Bosses of the underworld. His forces are at the level of a major family,”
Raphael briefly explained everything.
Sky County was split into five regions, which were the Northern, Southern, Eastern, Western, and Central regions.
Other than the Central region, which had a more unique circumstance, the other four regions were split up and controlled by the Four Bosses.
The Southern Boss controlled the underworld of the Southern region. His power and influence were no weaker than a top–tier major family!
It was far away from the level regular ancient martial arts families like the Westwoods and the Scammells
were at!
“How amazing!” Leon was surprised to hear that.
He was already in the Southern region for a while, but it was his first time hearing about one of the major powers in the city!
“That’s right. The fact that the Southern Boss managed to rule over the underworld of the Southern region means he isn’t someone to be trifled with! However, don’t worry. The Black Gorilla is in charge of the black market here. The Southern Boss is usually quite busy himself, there’s no way he would be here.”
Raphael laughed in sympathy, thinking that Leon was scared by the Southern King’s name.
After that, the two of them chatted as they walked into the basement.
The basement was massive. It was no smaller than the building above.
It was incredibly bright, and various stalls and displays could be seen. There was a huge crowd, and it seemed like they were in an incredibly bustling city area.
It was Leon’s first time in such a place. He wanted to walk around to see if there was anything valuable.
However, time was of the essence. Raphael was in a rush to get to the auction for the Mystical Dragon Jade. So, Leon decided against it as he followed Raphael to the center area.
That was the area that was meant for auctions!
Normally, anyone who had something expensive would hand it over to the people in charge of the black market to auction it off in hopes of getting a higher price!
At that moment, the wooden chairs by the sides of the auction were already quite filled.
Most of them were young men wearing very eye–catching clothes. They were obviously people with substantial backgrounds.
It was obvious they were all there for the Dragon Jade!
When Leon and Raphael both entered, a young man around thirty years of age to the right suddenly had a sharp glint in his eyes.
“Oh, I was wondering who it was. If it isn’t Raphael Westwood, the dog of the Thompsons!”
The young man laughed with a mocking look on his face. He had an arrogant air about him as if he was better than everyone else.
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1439
“Seth Golan, I’m warning you. You better watch your mouth. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!” Raphael suddenly looked quite angry.
“You? What a joke! Raphael, if you didn’t have the Thompsons shielding you, I’d already have had you crippled. What gives you the right to act so arrogantly in front of me?!” Seth sniffed as he looked at Raphael in disdain.
“You-”
Raphael was furious, but there was nothing he could do. After that, he composed himself as he pulled Leon to
the left.
After the two of them sat down, Leon could not help but ask curiously, “Mister Westwood, who’s that guy? He seemed quite arrogant.”
“He’s Seth Golan. He’s the heir of one of the ancient martial arts families in the Southern region! The Golans are somewhat involved with the jade trade, so they’re our competitors. There’s been quite a bit of conflict between our two families,” Raphael explained briefly.
“Oh, so that’s it!” Leon realized something, but he was still somewhat confused.
Since both their families were ancient martial arts families, then Raphael should be at the same level as Seth.
Yet, Raphael seemed to be wary of Seth. Leon did not understand what was happening.
“Mister Wolf, you don’t know this, but Seth is one of the strongest among the younger generation of the regular ancient martial arts families. He already reached the Overlord State two years ago. I’ve lost quite a lot to him.”
Raphael smiled wryly at Leon’s confusion and explained everything briefly.
“No wonder,” Leon understood.
When they were at the jade store, Raphael fought against Willie to help him. At the time, he was already able to tell that Raphael and Willie were more or less at the same level. They were around the Semi Overlord state.
Even though the Semi Overlord State was just one level away from the Overlord State, the two levels were incredibly different!
The fact that Seth was already at the Overlord State meant that he was much stronger than Raphael was. It was no wonder Raphael chose to hold back on his anger!
“Raphael, that guy next to you is a stranger. Who is he? What are the two of you mumbling about?!”
Seth did not give up on putting Raphael down. He had a sneer on his face as he continued to challenge Raphael.
“Mister Wolf has nothing to do with you!” Raphael said unhappily.
Even if he was not as strong as Seth, his family was no weaker than the Golans.
For the sake of the Mystical Jade Dragon, he had to do his best to resist Seth’s mocking. However, that did not mean he was afraid of Seth!
“Mister Wolf?! Even if you don’t say anything, I can tell that this brat must be some jade expert you invited over!” Seth sneered.
The Golans were involved with the jade business as well. Just like Raphael, he came over this time for the Mystical Dragon Jade!
However, the Mystical Dragon Jade was already extinct for about a century. Whether it was him, Raphael, or any of the other young men there, no one could tell if the Dragon Jade was real!
So, most of them brought along an expert to help them verify it.
Since Leon was next to Raphael, it was not too hard for him to guess that Leon was probably the expert Raphael brought over!
The Ex-Husband’s Revenge chapter 1440
“So what if he is?!” Raphael said coldly.
“Raphael, I can tell that you’re getting more and more useless! You found a brat as your expert. What a joke! Just open your eyes and look. This man I got to help me is a true expert!” Seth mocked. After that, he pointed at an old man in gray clothes next to him with a pleased expression.
“Mister Gray,”
Raphael was shocked after he looked over.
Oscar Gray was an incredibly notable expert in the jade industry within the Southern region. In terms of ability, he was absolutely at the pinnacle of the industry. No one could claim to be his equal.
Yet, Seth managed to get Oscar’s help. It was no wonder Seth was acting so arrogantly!
“Seth and Raphael are both in charge of the jade business for their families. The two of them have never gotten along.”
“Now, a rare Dragon Jade appeared. Oscar managed to get Mister Gray’s help, not holding back from the expenses. Yet, Raphael got a nameless brat as his expert. It’s just too idiotic.”
“That’s right. Before the auction is even starting, Raphael’s already lost out.”
The young men around them were all looking toward Seth and Oscar. All of them were impressed that Seth managed to get someone so capable!
Right after that, they looked at Raphael and Leon with disdain. No one would regard a young and nameless man like Leon as anyone worth their notice.
When Leon heard that, he could not help but frown. He could not believe that Seth started targeting him like that, dragging him into this for no reason. He was definitely feeling unhappy about it.
“Mister Wolf, Seth has always been narcissistic and arrogant. Just ignore him,” Raphael could tell that Leon was unhappy, and he hurriedly consoled Leon.
However, even though Raphael asked Leon to ignore him, Raphael was still unhappy.
After all, what everyone was saying was true. Compared to an expert like Oscar, Leon was worse in every way!
In particular, Leon did not know anything about the Mystical Dragon Jade at all. Leon would probably be
useless!
Suddenly, he regretted that he hastily asked Leon for help like that. He was too careless!
However, it was already too late for any regrets!
“The person in charge is here.”
Right at that moment, some footsteps were heard. A middle–aged man about fifty years of age walked in from backstage with four muscular men in black clothes.
The man at the helm had a dark and cold look on his face. The aura around him was very oppressive.
“This must be the Black Gorilla that Raphael mentioned before,” Leon mumbled to himself, guessing the
man’s identity.
He could not help but sigh. The fact that the person was a subordinate of the Southern Boss meant that the person was someone extraordinary!
At the venue, everyone was immediately paying attention to the Black Gorilla the moment he appeared. They knew that the main event was about to start. Everyone fell silent.
“Since it’s about time, let’s begin.”
F
After a few simple words, the Black Gorilla started things off. After that, he motioned for a black–clothed man to bring a tray over, putting it on the display.
There was a red cloth on the tray, so no one could see what was underneath for the moment.
