Chapter 120 A Big Short's Prisoner

• After returning to the villa, Leonard once again took out the Blood Emerald Pearl, holding it and trying to feel it carefully. Unfortunately, he still gained nothing. Leonard even had the urge to swallow the Blood Emerald Pearl and see what would happen. But in the end, he did not do so. Although his constitution was different from ordinary people’s now, who knew if taking this thing would suddenly cause him to drop dead? “It seems like I really need to have more contact with people from the Asura Sect to know the true purpose of this Blood Emerald Pearl.” Of course, Leonard’s idea of contact was not of the friendly kind. In the afternoon, Leonard received another call from Gracia. It was still about the press conference. This time, Gracia informed several news media and invited many influential figures in Newden City.
• Clearly, Gracia intended to make the press conference grand. Once the press conference was held, the entire Newden City would immediately know that Santos Group was the most powerful company in Newden City. A company worth 120 billion dollars was unparalleled in the entire Newden City. Gracia called Leonard to report on the work progress and also to share her joy with him. Although the company belonged to Leonard, Gracia seemed even more excited than him. Just as Leonard hung up the phone with Gracia, he received another call. It was from Reg. Reg had invested in Santos Group and could be considered part of Leonard’s camp. “Mr. Dewey, is there something specific you want to discuss over the phone?” Reg, due to his age, earned Leonard’s respect. “Well, Mr. Santos, aren’t you interested in medicinal herbs? King Pharmacy recently received a batch of ancient herbs, and it’s said that there’s one Divine Herb.
• It’s going to be auctioned tonight in Newden City. “I wonder if you’re interested?” Reg’s voice couldn’t conceal his excitement. Obviously, he saw this as a good opportunity to get closer to Leonard. “Of course, I’m interested. Please send me the details of the location.” Leonard said. Reg shook his head. “Mr. Santos, it so happens that my granddaughter, Cherry, has nothing to do. Let her accompany you. It will also allow her to expand her h orizon by your side.” “Okay.” Leonard nodded. Reg actually had the intention of matchmaking Leonard and Cherry, but Leonard wasn’t foolish and could naturally sense it. However, Leonard didn’t have any special feelings toward Cherry. But since Reg asked Cherry to accompany Leonard, it didn’t matter to Leonard either way. In the evening, as soon as Leonard went out of the house, he saw Cherry standing at his doorstep. “When did you arrive? Why didn’t you ring the doorbell?” Leonard looked at Cherry and asked. Cherry smiled. “I just arrived not long ago. I didn’t want to disturb you when you were resting.” At this moment, Cherry was filled with respect for Leonard.
