"What? Mister Wolf, are you serious? Are you willing to increase the portion twenty-five percent?" Hugo was overjoyed. Though it was just an increase of five percent, it was a great fortune when it came from a highly profitable firm like Cynthion Group. This would at least guarantee the Morrisons hundreds of millions each year or even more. Caleb and the elders were reluctant to work with Cynthion Group because they wanted to benefit more. After all the tricks they played, they failed and almost cost them the opportunity to partner with Cynthion Group. Yet, Leon was now willing to increase their portion to twenty-five percent and this caught Hugo by surprise. Instantly, he was both shocked and pleasantly surprised. "Of course, I'm serious!" Leon nodded. Profit was a great motivator for anyone. He knew that the profit division he offered was quite low and the Morrisons were aiming to gain more. This was normal and he could empathize. However, a line had to be drawn

"Grandpa, this Leon guy is so rude. He promised to come at noon and it's way past noon now, yet he's nowhere to be seen." Candice was growing impatient. As the eldest daughter of the Dagleshs, she had a high status and breathtaking beauty, which meant that she had many pursuers. It was always others who waited for her and fawned over her, so she never waited for someone else. Yet, she was now waiting for a strange man alongside Elder Daglesh and the others. Because of that, she was quite upset with Leon. "Candice, be patient. I've already called Mister Wolf and he is coming our way now. He should be here in no time," Jensen said. "He's only departing now? What was he doing just now?" Candice grew even angrier. She hated men who could not keep their promises and since Leon was not punctual, her first impression of him was horrible. If Elder Daglesh and Jensen did not value Leon that much, she would have left a long time ago instead of waiting for such a rude man. "Maybe

"Mister Wolf, what is it? Is there something you'd like to say?" Elder Daglesh asked in confusion. "Well," With a troubled expression, Leon fell into silence. He knew that the Dagleshs wanted to work with Cynthion group and he accepted the Dagleshs' invitation because he intended to work with them. However, he changed his mind at the last moment and this must have been cruel to the Dagleshs. Still, he had to inform Elder Daglesh of the truth at one point because he had no other option. With that thought in mind, he stopped hesitating. "Elder Daglesh, about the partnership with Cynthion Group, I'm sorry to inform you that I've reached an agreement with Mister Hugo. Hence, I won't be able to work with the Dagleshs. Please forgive me," he sighed. He only needed to work with one family to establish Cynthion Group's branch in the western region and since he decided to work with the Morrisons, he could not partner with the Dagleshs. Apart from Cynthion Group, Elegante Group was

"Elder Daglesh, please calm down! This is indeed my fault so don't get upset at Miss Daglesh. There's a reason for me to partner with the Morrisons instead and I didn't mean to toy with you. Please forgive me," Leon said apologetically. "Hypocrite! We don't need your apology! To partner with Cynthion Group, we welcome you as our esteemed guest and Grandpa even prepared a supreme spiritual herb as a gift for you. Yet, you broke your promise and reached an agreement with the Morrisons instead. How could you?" Candice glared at Leon. Though Leon was polite and even defended her to prevent her from getting punished, she was already certain that Leon was a despicable man and was disgusted by him. Naturally, she was not willing to accept his act of kindness and remained rude to him. "What? Elder Daglesh, you prepared a supreme spiritual herb? Is that true?" Leon was shocked. Though the western region had an abundant supply of herbs, supreme spiritual herbs would enhance the power o

"Well," Leon was rendered speechless. He knew that supreme spiritual herbs were valuable and families like the Dagleshs could not possibly sell Emperor Herb for money. Hence, he could not argue with Candice's logic. "Candice, I'll say this one last time. Be polite to Mister Wolf. If you keep this attitude up, I will have you punished!" Elder Daglesh glared at Candice with displeasure. Though what she said was right and they could not sell the herb to Leon, Candice was far too young and reckless. She insulted Leon multiple times and Elder Daglesh was glad that Leon did not take it personally. Still, he could not allow her to keep it up or she may eventually provoke Leon. "I-" Upon hearing that she would be punished, Candice dared not to argue and quieted down. "Elder Daglesh, are you sure you can't sell the Emperor Herb to me?" Leon knew that he was in the wrong and did not take Candice's words personally. He glanced at Elder Daglesh in disappointment and resignation.
