Chapter 121 A Big Short's Prisoner

• There were numerous families in Imperial City, but they didn’t appear to be formidable. However, a small family in Imperial City would be considered a prominent force in any other city. Even in Imperial City, the Morris family was still considered a medium–sized family. No one dared to underestimate even the collateral heir of the Morris family. The Dewey family, where Cherry belonged, was considered a prestigious family in Newden City. However, when it was compared to the Morris family, there was a significant gap between them. It could be said that there was no comparison between the Dewey family and the Morris family. No wonder Avery, once she got close to the heir of the Morris family, became arrogant and started provoking Cherry.
• Cherry didn’t dare to confront the heir of the Morris family. However, being suppressed by her arch–nemesis, Avery, made her feel somewhat frustrated. She couldn’t help but look toward Leonard beside her, seeking help with her eyes. Initially, Leonard was uninterested in getting involved in such matters. However, seeing Cherry’s gaze, he thought that she was at least on the same side as him… So he asked, “How does the Morris family compare to the Acosta family in Imperial City?” “The Acosta family is a prominent family in Imperial City, and the Morris family cannot match them.” Brian Morris from the Morris family replied, without feeling ashamed of being inferior to the Acosta family. “So, the Morris family is even inferior to the Acosta family.” Leonard disdainfully shook his head. Upon hearing Leonard’s belittling words about the Morris family, Brian suddenly became angry. However, he noticed Leonard’s arrogant attitude, and he was unsure of Leonard’s background, so he asked, “May I know who you are? Which family do you come from?” “I am Leonard, from the Santos family in Newden City.” Leonard replied proudly.
• “The Santos family?” Brian couldn’t help but sneer, “Is there a Santos family in Newden City? I have never heard of them.” Avery chimed in, unable to resist mocking, “I grew up in Newden City and have never heard of the Santos family. It seems like you’re just shamelessly bragging without knowing any shame. Cherry, have you really stooped so low as to associate with someone like this?” However, Leonard remained composed. “There was no Santos family in Newden City before, but when I appeared, the Santos family became the number one family in Newden City.” Upon hearing these words, even the people around couldn’t help but burst into laughter. He said the funniest things with the most audacious tone. “Avery, let’s go inside. He’s just a fool.”
