SWNOVELS Chapter 207
Chapter 207
Leonard said that he would hang Stuart at the gate of the hall of the Galen Group.
Upon hearing Leonard’s decision, Iwan swallowed uncontrollably.
Stuart worked for Brandon. What Leonard did would humiliate Brandon, and
Brandon’s followers would be mad.
However, seeing how ruthless Leonard was, Iwan didn’t dare to say anything but ordered to drag Stuart out.
Looking at Stuart being dragged away, Iwan showed a trace of pity in his eyes.
What happened today made Iwan deeply understand something. That was, he couldn’t mess with people like Leonard unless he
was sure of killing him, or he would suffer bitterly.
After giving the order, Leonard left the Execution Hall and returned to his
residence.
He knew that was just the beginning.
As the saying went, urgent illness needed strong medication.
As Leonard expected, the moment Stuart
was hung at the gate, all the people in the Galen Group’s headquarters freaked out.
Brandon’s people gathered together quickly.
“Mr. Santos, Elder Perez is cultivating in seclusion, so Elder Martinez is now in charge. He is summoning several regional
leaders and hall leaders to the headquarters. I am afraid they will turn against you.”
Rex came to report to Leonard.
“Elder Martinez? I didn’t expect that he would also take Elder Perez’s side. Besides him, who else will come here?” Leonard
asked with a frown.
“According to the information I obtained, the leaders of eight of the 24 halls are on their way to the headquarters.
“And four of the 17 regional leaders are also on the way. All of them are the core figures of Elder Perez’s faction.”
In the Galen Group, there were a total of 24 halls.
Moreover, these were 17 regional leaders, who could be regarded as the frontier officials of the Galen Group.
Those people usually had their own sphere of influence. They were summoned
urgently this time to force Leonard to resign.
“Some people in the Galen Group are trusted followers of Mr. Clarkson. Do you want to meet them? You can gather them to fight
against Elder Perez’s people,” Rex suggested.
Eight hall leaders, four regional leaders, and their subordinates were
a force to be reckoned with.
Unexpectedly, Leonard shook his head. “No need. No matter how many people come, I will defeat them all by myself.”
After saying that, he went straight to his bedroom for cultivation.
Early the next morning, it was a bit cloudy, setting off the nervous tension in the Galen Group’s headquarters.
In Leonard’s courtyard, Rex was waiting anxiously at the door early in the morning.
Yesterday, all the people from Brandon’s faction arrived at the headquarters, and now they were gathered at the gate of the hall.
Moreover, several elders from other
factions also denounced Leonard’s atrocities with them.
It was obvious that those people wanted to topple Leonard in one fell swoop.
After all, Leonard had not officially become the lord yet, so it was the best time.
Once Leonard became the lord, they would have no chance.
Rex felt a little anxious.
But Leonard was cultivating. Rex didn’t dare to disturb him.
Just then, Noam rushed into the courtyard anxiously.
“Rex, where is Mr. Santos?” Noam asked loudly.
“He hasn’t gotten up yet,” Rex replied.
“What? Oh my! There’s going to be an uproar in the Galen Group, but he’s still sleeping?”
Noam was anxious.
At that moment, the door of the room opened with a creak.
Leonard yawned and walked out.
Seeing Rex and Noam in the courtyard, he asked doubtfully, “I wanted to return to bed after getting up, but I was woken up by
you two. Why are you so panicked?”
Noam hurriedly said, “Mr. Santos, Elder Martinez, together with several other elders, said that you were too cruel and wanted
you to resign.
“Now they are all gathered in the hall. Stuart has also been put down...”
Noam quickly explained what had happened.
Leonard’s face instantly darkened.
“Want me to resign? They are so courageous. I ordered Stuart to be hung there. How dare they put him down? They must have
a death wish.”
A cold aura spread from Leonard’s body, making Noam shiver involuntarily and get shocked.
Leonard had become much stronger. His strength seemed to be changing every day.
Noam didn’t know that Leonard had been refining elixirs every day recently, so his speed of cultivation was incredibly fast.
“By the way, have you reported this matter to Ibrahim?” Leonard asked as he looked at
Rex.
He knew that Rex would report to Ibrahim when such a big thing happened.
“Lord Clarkson said you had to handle this yourself.”
Rex smiled bitterly.
Such a big thing happened, but Ibrahim didn’t seem to care at all.
But when Leonard heard this, his eyes lit up.
According to Ibrahim, Leonard could do whatever he wanted.
The Galen Group was founded by Ibrahim, so Leonard had restrained himself before.
After all, many people had followed Ibrahim, and Ibrahim had trained them.
But since Ibrahim said that, it meant that Leonard didn’t need to care about the life and death of those people.
Rex didn’t understand why Leonard’s eyes were shining, but he didn’t dare to ask.
Leonard went to the room to wash
up
and
had breakfast.
“Would you like some?”
Leonard asked Rex and Noam, who were standing beside him and looking at each other.
The two shook their heads, feeling
speechless.
They wondered why Leonard was still in the mood for breakfast at a time like this.
But since Leonard was not in a hurry, they did not dare to urge him.
Twenty minutes passed.
Leonard wiped his mouth and stood up.
“Let’s go. Follow me to meet the elders and Elder Perez’s people.”
Leonard walked out of the villa first.
Noam and Rex followed behind.
At the same time, the 20,000-square-foot hall was full of people.
Even the surroundings were filled with disciples from the Galen Group.
After all, everyone knew about the commotion caused by Brandon’s faction yesterday. Once they successfully forced Leonard to
resign today, it meant that Ibrahim would lose control of the Galen Group.
Besides the people from Brandon’s faction, Cyril, Egbert, hall leaders, and regional leaders also arrived.
Everyone was aware that after today’s
incident, the Galen Group would welcome a new lord.
Many of those people were loyal followers. of Ibrahim.
However, Ibrahim had left them alone for too long. They felt like homeless children.
If Leonard resigned today, then they would have to consider taking a new side.
In the innermost seats, several elders were sitting quietly. Their faces were gloomy. Although they did not speak, they exuded an
oppressive aura.
In addition to those several elders, there were also leaders from different regions.
Each of them had a terrifying aura, and some of them were not weaker than the elders.
Below the regional leaders were the hall leaders. In particular, the eight hall masters on the left side were full of murderous
intent.
They were from Brandon’s faction and were the main force in today’s crusade against Leonard.
In addition to those hall leaders, some regional leaders and hall leaders from other factions were scattered in other directions.
They came to build momentum.
Except for Noam, who stayed with Leonard, Brandon, and Keith, who were cultivating in seclusion, and Greyson, who was
traveling outside, all other elders of the Galen Group were present.
Time went by.
When everyone was waiting impatiently, Leonard and others finally appeared at the door of the hall.
Suddenly the hall became quiet, as if a deity had descended into the underworld,
silencing all the demons and ghosts.
Upon entering the hall, Leonard fixed his eyes on Stuart, who was lying on the stretcher, and asked in a cold voice, “Who put
Stuart down against my order?”
Feeling Leonard’s anger, everyone in the hall shuddered with terror.
Just then, a man next to Stuart stood up.
He walked to the center of the hall and said loudly, “It was me. Leonard, you treated him so cruelly. You are not worthy of being
the young lord of the Galen Group!”
Everyone recognized the man who spoke.
It was Brock Deleon, a member of
Brandon’s faction, also Stuart’s best friend.
“How dare you disobey my order? You must have a death wish.”
Leonard snorted coldly. He gathered his vital energy and appeared in front of Brock in an instant, slapping him on the head.
Then the sound of bones breaking could be heard.
Brock was sent flying away.
Brock never thought that Leonard would attack him, and he didn’t know that Leonard’s strength would be so terrifying.
Leonard’s palm strike not only deformed Brock’s face, but the bones in his neck seemed to be broken.
There was an uproar in the hall.
Many people exclaimed.
Brock was a popular candidate to compete to be the lord of the Galen Group, and he was Brandon’s disciple.
No one expected that Leonard would suddenly attack Brock, and Brock, who was already at the Grand Master Realm, could not
take Leonard’s move.
