"Chairman Leo, we’ll talk later," Jeannie quickly said to Leo before approaching Ricard, whispering, "Why are you here?""I called him," Milan said, looking at Jeannie with a reproachful gaze. "Jeannie, you know Leo loves Soggetto paintings, and your husband is especially knowledgeable about them. Why not leverage his expertise?"Jeannie hesitated, glancing between Ricard and Milan, unsure how to explain without revealing too much to Milan."Alright, I think Ricard should first negotiate with Leo. If he can engage Leo, then you can use both emotion and reason to persuade him," Milan suggested.Jeannie instinctively looked at Ricard, who was already walking towards Leo. She sighed. She knew very well that Ricard's expertise in paintings was questionable. What good could he do?Ricard approached Leo, squinting at the painting before him. "Smith's 'Sunrise' from the Tang Dynasty? The ink seems a bit faded.""Do you understand paintings?" Leo asked, somewhat surprised, as he glanced at Ri

The leader, known as 'Thunder Lord,' was renowned for his swift actions.The second-in-command, Etham, also known as the 'Twin Roses,' was responsible for a third of Aishah Society's power, thanks to his formidable fists.The third leader, 'Poison Snake,' was the most insidious. His treacherous nature made people shiver whenever his name was mentioned in the underworld.At this moment, 'Thunder Lord' sat silently, smoking with a frown. The ashtray before him was filled with cigarette butts."Boss, what's there to worry about? If that brat dares to come back, I'll cripple him!" Etham flexed his muscular arm, pounding his chest."Big Brother, it's not as simple as you think." Maxi leaned back on the sofa, twisting his hair: "Both Big Brother and I have received news that for the past two days, those investigating our Aishah Society are not simple people. Among them is even the shadow of Ledo.""Ledo?" Etham's expression changed: "Are you talking about the boss of the entire underground

"Jeannie," Leona stated confidently, without even glancing at the girl next to him.Upon hearing Jeannie's name, the girl’s face fell. Although she came from a good family and had top-notch looks, she knew she couldn't compare to Jeannie. Jeannie was the granddaughter of Logan, and her beauty was unparalleled.Leona stood still, hands clasped behind his back, staring into the distance. A bright red Benz GT drove closer, gradually coming into view. Leona, usually composed, smiled as the car stopped and someone stepped out. The woman, lightly adorned and stunningly beautiful, blended seamlessly with the scenery. Her long black hair was tied back with a silver-white jade hairpin, adding a star-like touch to her elegant image.Leona was mesmerized. Just as he was about to greet her, he noticed she was accompanied by an unfamiliar man. The man exited the car with her, and she held onto his arm.Leona's expression changed dramatically. After a few seconds, he regained his composure and walk

Karl couldn't help but smile, having heard of Mr. Taylor's cautious nature. A word of 'good' meant extreme satisfaction.Karl already planned how to deal with Daniel and Jeannie, relying on his relationship with Jayce, ensuring the Demneri Group would be in his control. As for Ricard, he planned to crush him.After presenting the gift, Jayce Taylor smiled and stepped back."Grandfather, may you have prosperity and longevity." Taylor Mong stood up, the youngest grandson, still in college at 21, with an innocent face.Hailen didn't bring an expensive gift, just a wooden bracelet."Grandfather, during my studies, I met Master Ethan and became his disciple. This is made by Master Ethan himself for you.""Master Ethan!""The one and only Master Ethan!"Everyone in the room was amazed, knowing Master Ethan was a respected antique expert and honorary professor, with few disciples.Jayce Taylor, initially smiling, now looked worriedly at Hailen.Those observing couldn't help but admire Hailen

"Oh, it was a bag of tea. I don't know the specifics, just that it's very valuable." Ricard explained, "I once saved some tea pickers stranded on a mountainside. They gave me the tea as a thank-you gift. I remember it being very expensive, so I brought it along since you mentioned visiting the elders.""You're not lying to me, are you?" Jeannie raised an eyebrow, finding Ricard's story hard to believe. Tea given by others could make Mr. Taylor change his mind. It wasn't just valuable anymore."Absolutely not. I swear!" Ricard raised his right hand, extending four fingers, his face earnest.Jeannie stopped at a red light, turning to look at Ricard. His clear eyes met hers, unflinching.Their gazes locked, and Ricard realized that nothing else mattered at that moment. Just being with this girl was the greatest blessing.The light turned green, and a horn honked.Jeannie smiled, stepping on the gas. "You're lucky. That tea must be extremely precious. I'll pay you back later.""No need!"
