Chapter 200
Leonard and Rex went all the way north in
the car.
On the way, Leonard received a call from Gracia who told him that they were preparing to enter the market in Imperial City and set up a branch of the Santos Group there.
Leonard naturally had no objection to this. He was not good at dealing with business, so he let Gracia be in full charge of it.
Two days later, in front of a huge manor.
Leonard's car stopped.
They arrived at the headquarters of Galen Group.
"Mr. Santos, this time you come back to inherit the position of the Lord of the Galen Group. But I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Mr. Clarkson seldom meddles in the things in the group, so there are many factions in the Galen Group. I'm afraid they will set up layers of obstacles for you."
Rex said it worriedly.
Hearing Rex's words, Leonard just smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.
In Leonard's eyes, since Ibrahim asked him to inherit the Galen Group, it meant that Ibrahim had confidence in him.
He knew that in the face of very powerful strength, all conspiracies and cliques were nothing.
There were two martial artists with bright eyes standing guard at the entrance of the Galen Group. After seeing Leonard, they shouted, "Who are you?"
Although they knew Rex, Rex's status in the Galen Group was not high, and he could not bring strangers in and out of the Galen Group at will.
"Leonard Santos."
Leonard uttered two words coldly.
Suddenly, the expressions of the two martial artists changed wildly.
They realized that the person in front of them turned out to be Leonard, the young heir of the Galen Group who was about to succeed as the Lord of the group. These days, all the people in the Galen Group were discussing Leonard.
The two martial artists were tired of hearing the name "Leonard", and there was a
complicated look in their eyes.
Although the two martial artists were just gatekeepers, they also belonged to their own factions in the Galen Group.
Several forces in the Galen Group were very unconvinced about Leonard. The two
martial artists thought, "It won't be easy for Leonard to succeed as the Lord of the group."
"Mr. Santos, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the elders."
After saying that, a martial artist hurriedly walked in.
Soon, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps.
Leonard saw a group of people coming out from inside.
At the front was an old man wearing a black suit, looking majestic.
It was Benjamin Harris, the seventh elder of the Galen Group.
Behind Benjamin were the leaders of each department of the Galen Group and the managers of each region.
The managers of various regions learned that Leonard was coming back to inherit the position of the Lord of the group, so they also rushed back. It could be said that it had been very noisy in the headquarters of the Galen Group these days.
There were a total of nine elders in the
Galen Group, all of whom were masters at the Grand Master Realm.
The elders who rank higher are stronger and have higher status.
After this group of people came out, they all fell their eyes on Leonard.
But the looks in most of these eyes were hostile.
Leonard couldn't help but frown.
He thought, 'This shows that the interior of the Galen Group is really a mess. I am the young heir of the group. But not many people are welcome to my arrival.
What a disaster. No wonder Rex said that it
would not be smooth for me to succeed as the Lord of the group.
In the crowd, there was a young man who looked straight at Leonard. In his eyes, Leonard saw a fighting spirit.
The young man was Max, one of the leading people of the younger generation who had been favored by many people in the Galen Group recently.
Originally, Max was so high-spirited because he had broken through to the Grand Master Realm. He believed that he should be able to inherit the position of the Lord of the Galen Group. To his surprise, Ibrahim directly asked Leonard to come back to inherit the throne. Of course, he was not convinced.
"Your Highness, Mr. Santos."
After a long silence, Benjamin began to greet Leonard.
Suddenly, the heavy atmosphere began to flow.
Others also greeted Leonard one after another.
No matter how much hostility these people had towards Leonard in their hearts,
Leonard was nominally the young heir of the Galen Group.
However, Leonard's gaze just coldly swept over everyone present.
"Logically speaking, as the young heir of the Galen Group, I should be welcomed by every one of the nine elders who are at the headquarters.
Rex told me that at least four of the nine elders are at the headquarters, but now only one comes out to welcome me. This is
obviously a great disrespect for me. Leonard thought.
Seeing that Leonard was silent, Benjamin couldn't help but frown. However, he still said, "Mr. Santos, this way, please."
Leonard glanced at Benjamin, smiled coldly, and then walked directly inside, arriving in the hall of the headquarters of Galen Group.
Everyone sat down in their seats according to their identities, and Leonard also walked to the main seat and sat down.
The servant standing on the side hurriedly served Leonard coffee.
However, Leonard didn't drink the coffee after picking up the coffee cup. Instead, he threw it directly onto the ground, and the cup broke with a clatter.
At the same time, he said in a cold voice, "Where are Cedric Martinez, Greyson Doe, and Egbert Landon? Tell them to come to meet me."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.
No one expected that Leonard would begin to assign responsibilities just after he entered the door. They thought, 'He directly
threw the cup onto the ground and asked the three elders to come to meet him by
name.
It seems that this young heir is not someone to be trifled with.'
"I asked you to let the three elders come to meet me. Didn't you hear me?"
Leonard spoke again. His voice was cold, echoing in the hall.
Anyone could hear the anger in his voice.
This time, Leonard returned to the Galen Group to inherit the position of the Lord of the Galen Group. He had never thought that it would go smoothly.
Thinking that since the Galen Group was already a mess with numerous factions, Leonard decided to suppress them all with tough means.
Benjamin looked gloomy.
He thought, 'This young heir behaved a bit arrogantly.
The other three elders weren't willing to come to welcome him. I showed him much respect by coming. How dare he break the cup in front of me? What an ignorant young
man.'
After a long silence, Benjamin stood up and said with a half smile, "Mr. Santos, the other three elders are busy with their affairs, so
they didn't come. Please forgive them, Mr. Santos."
"Furthermore, in recent years, Lord
Clarkson has not been in control of the affairs of the group, so the elders have had to handle them. Sometimes, they don't even have time and energy to carry out Lord Clarkson's orders."
The meaning of Benjamin's words was obvious. It was that Ibrahim had little influence on the Galen Group now.
He thought, "We can even show Ibrahim no respect. Of course, we won't be afraid of you, a brat."novelbin
