The young lady's car had a luxurious interior design with spacious space in the back seat. Enough to fit five or more people.Leon, Cynthia, and Ruth got into the car.When the young lady was getting into the car, a young man grabbed her arm. He was probably 27 or 28 years old with good looks and stylish outfit. He did not look like he was the young lady's bodyguard."Shally, they're strangers. We don't know if they're good or bad guys. Why did you offer to bring them to the central region? It's too risky!" the young man, Lucian Summers, snapped with hostility while lowering his voice.Shally Summers, the young lady, did not understand why he said that. "Lucian, the bodyguard crashed into their car. Isn't it the right thing for us to send them to the central region since we're heading there too?""How is it right? We agreed to repair their car and gave them compensation. Isn't that enough?" Lucian growled.In his opinion, repairing Leon's car and giving compensation was good enou
"You think too much. The Nortons didn't send them, and they aren't despicable people like what you said. You shouldn't badmouth anyone without any proof. It's rude. I hope you watch what you say in the future," Shally reprimanded Lucian unhappily after hearing how he insulted Leon.She knew she was saving her family business by bringing them with her to the Northern region. It did not affect the Nortons, so there was no reason why they would send people to cause her any trouble.Even if the Nortons were to send anyone, they would send strong martial artists. Why would the Nortons send a young man like Leon and two beautiful women to come after her? It did not make sense.She definitely did not think the Nortons sent Leon, Cynthia, and Ruth. It was not logical.Of course, being cautious was important, so Shally did not argue further. She knew her cousin was just reminding her to be careful and did not insult Leon on purpose.She then went into the car."Argh. Fine. I hope I didn't
Leon saw how embarrassed Shally was and tried to ease the tension."Miss Summers, we're from the Western region. We're thinking of opening a pharmaceutical firm in the central region. It'll be our first time there, so we don't know anything about the central region. Do you think you can tell us about it?"Since he knew nothing about the situation in the central region, it was a good opportunity for him to find out when Shally tried to strike up a conversation.He could get to know about the central region and also the forces. It would give him more benefits and advantages."Sure."Shally nodded and briefly shared information.After the conversation, Leon knew there were many ancient martial arts families and powerful major families in the central region. With the strongest being the Three Major Families and the Central Boss.The Three Major Families had similar influences and power. Whereas, the Central Boss was the ruler of the gangster world. Quite similar to the Southern Boss
"Miss Summers, does your family deal in antiques and jade? I'm planning to buy some jade pieces. Could you give me your contact information? When I need some, I can purchase from your family," Leon inquired.He needed jade pieces for setting up Energy Convergence and Energy Gathering Circles, or for alchemy. The ones he had previously bought were left in the Southern and Western regions for emergencies. He had not brought any with him. Now that he was in the Central region, he needed to buy a new batch of jade pieces. Since the Summers dealt in jade, he thought he could buy from them."Sure," Shally agreed, thinking Leon was an ordinary middle-class person likely interested in low-grade jade pieces. She did not consider it a significant matter. They exchanged contact information."Miss, we are nearing the outskirts of the Central region. Where should we go next?" A guard driving the car reported to Shally. The Summers were a third-rate ancient martial arts family, and their terr
"Mister Wolf, please allow me to be frank."Currently, in the Central region, most real estate is sold through pre-sales, with very few properties available for immediate occupancy."Especially when it comes to brand-new single-family villas in beautiful settings, it's extremely difficult to find such properties ready for immediate move-in. The chances are almost zero!" Shally stated bluntly after regaining her composure.Although she was not sure if Leon truly had the means to afford an expensive single-family villa, she knew one thing for certain. Businessmen pursue profit, and many real estate operations in the Central region follow a model of selling properties to gather funds before construction. Very few developers actually have ready-to-move-in properties available!This was even more true for single-family villas, which required significant investment.Leon wanting to purchase a single-family villa in a short period, one that was also in a beautiful setting and ready for i
"Um..."Hearing Lucian's reminder, Shally's expression froze. She remembered that she did have an unused villa that fit Leon's needs perfectly in every aspect.However, the villa was quite expensive, and she did not think Leon could afford it."Miss Summers, do you have an unused second-hand villa for sale? Where is this villa? Can you take me to see it first?" Leon inquired.He had never been a fan of second-hand houses, mainly because he was worried about buying a flawed or problematic property, which would cause unnecessary trouble.If Shally had a villa for sale, that would be ideal!After his conversation with Shally earlier, he had a good understanding of her character. Buying a villa from Shally seemed much better than going through a real estate agent! Of course, the premise was that Shally's villa had to meet his requirements."Well... okay. Let me take you to see it then," Shally thought for a moment before responding.Her villa had been vacant for over two years with
Twenty-six-year-old Leon Wolf was a married man whose notorious reputation was well-known across Springfield City. He lived with his wife's family—the Mansons—and was treated as an indentured servant during his three-year marriage. Dignity was a foreign concept to him, but he endured all the humiliation in silence and never once spoke up in protest.For the past three years, he worked tirelessly like a horse in the Mansons' company every single day, yet his salary had to be handed over to his wife Marilyn, whom he couldn't even get close to.By the time he came home at night, he had to do laundry, mop, cook, and various other household chores. Still, he worked diligently without complaining.He believed that by doing all this, he could prove his worth to his wife and convince her to stay with him until they grew old. But what he received in return was a cruel blow—a baby!His wife, with whom he had never even slept, was pregnant, and he was about to become a father!But would anyo
Leon left the cemetery after paying his respects to Elder Manson, but before he stepped out, he noticed a woman in professional attire standing at the entrance. She had a stunning figure, and Leon wondered why someone like her would be visiting the cemetery in the middle of the night instead of being sound asleep in bed. She wore heavy makeup, causing him to do a double take.She appeared unhappy and muttered something like, "You broke-ass b*stard."Usually, Leon would ignore such remarks in the past, knowing that reacting wouldn't benefit him in any way. However, the shock of his wife getting pregnant with someone else's child and being expelled from his own home had left him incredibly upset. He wanted to vent his emotions. In a moment of impulsive hot-headedness, he rushed towards the woman and said, "Isn't it a bit early for you to be offering yourself on the street? How much do you charge for a night? I happen to be in a good mood today!"Truth be told, Leon didn't have a singl
