Chapter 1823

"I don't believe that will work! Elegante Group is not controlled by Hughes, and all of their products leave detailed records when we distribute them! If I tamper with them, they'll figure it out!" Gordon made a shaky motion with his head. He was no fool, and he knew Joel intended to serve him up in exchange for Elegante Group's demise. Gordon wanted to get rid of Leon as well, but he didn't want to risk his job or his life for it. "Don't worry, you won't be held accountable! Simply find a scapegoat so that someone else can take the blame for you!" Joel stated. "That could be correct," Gordon said hesitantly. It wouldn't be difficult for him to find a scapegoat in the company as long as he was willing to pay. However, as the person in charge, he would still be held accountable to some extent. "This isn't up for debate! Let's be clear, Mister Bailey! You're the reason Seth and I are injured, and if you agree to assist, I'll treat you to a feast so that all three of us can have a great time here! If you refuse to assist, this will be your last meal!" Joel made a cold threat. "All right, then." Gordon shivered in Joel's intimidating presence and eventually agreed. He despised Leon in the first place, so he demanded that Elegante Group be demolished as well. He wouldn't be affected as long as he found himself a scapegoat, as Joel suggested. "I'm glad you're a rational man! Let us collaborate, Mister Bailey!" Joel laughed, arrogantly, as if he could already see victory. ... Leon was having dinner with the four women in a luxurious mansion on the outskirts, discussing the event that had occurred earlier that day in Elegante Group. "Leon, if the Hiltons have their eyes on Elegante Group, we'll have to be extra cautious from now on!" Iris expressed concern. "I know! Given Elegante Group's success thus far, I have nothing to fear if the Hiltons intend to compete fairly with us, but I'm concerned that they may play dirty! Anyway, I plan on focusing on producing alchemical pills starting tomorrow so that Cynthion Group can launch the second sales drive as soon as possible!" Leon continued. "Then I'll try to find two martial artists who are Semi-Almighty or Almighty! We will all be much safer if more powerful martial artists protect us!" Leon stated. He made a lot of enemies since he arrived in the southern region, and because he had no standing in the community, both the Cynthion Group and the Elegante Group were vulnerable. People could barge in whenever they wanted, putting Iris and the others' lives in danger on a regular basis, which bothered Leon. The security of both the Cynthion Group and the Elegante Group remained his primary concern, and he needed to recruit powerful martial artists as soon as possible to resolve the situation. The safety of Iris and the others would be ensured if he could recruit martial artists in the Semi-Almighty or Almighty state.
