Chapter 124 A Big Short's Prisoner

• Brian slammed the sign in his hand onto the table. He was burned with raging anger. His fists clenched tightly, veins bulging. He was clearly consumed by extreme fury. The people around were stunned. What Leonard did was completely a way to humiliate Brian. On the stage…. Natalie was also stunned, knowing that Leonard and the Morris family were now in an all–out war. However, she followed the procedure and said, “120 million dollars, once. “120 million dollars, twice. *120 million dollars, three times. “Sold.” As the gavel fell… Leonard successfully acquired the Miraculoberry. He directly handed his bank card to the staff, completing the transaction. And at that moment… Brian stood up in anger, his voice cold. “Secure all the exits. Don’t let this guy escape.” As he spoke, a group of men in black pulled out their guns and loaded them. Seeing this scene, the people in the room changed their expressions, knowing that someone was bound to die today. Meanwhile, in an inconspicuous corner, a middle–aged man stood up slowly and walked toward Brian. The middle–aged man was imposing and clearly held great power.
• When he appeared, a bone–chilling chill emanated from him. Even Natalie on the stage couldn’t help but change her expression. She had witnessed Leonard’s strength, but the arrival of the middle–aged man made her suspect one person, Andrew Baker. Ordinary people believed that the various families could be dominated and rule over an area solely based on wealth. However, wealth was just one aspect. What was more important was that each family possessed hidden experts, which were their trump cards. In Imperial City, the Morris family most prominent expert was Andrew. Three years ago, a small family that opposed the Morris family was wiped out, their entire family slaughtered. Even Natalie, who was still in college then, had heard about it. It was said that Andrew was the one who did it. There were many rumors about Andrew, all indicating that he was a genuinely top–notch powerhouse. “Mr. Baker, what brings you here?”
• Brian, surprised by Andrew’s appearance, couldn’t hide his astonishment. Clearly, he had no knowledge of Andrew’s presence. “I happened to be passing through Newden City and heard about the auction, so I came to take a look. Mr. Morris, I didn’t expect to encounter you and witness someone daring to provoke the Morris family,” Andrew replied. “Mr. Morris, rest assured. I’ll handle this.” After speaking, Andrew placed one hand behind his back and looked toward Leonard in the distance. He examined Leonard up and down, disdainfully saying, “You are just a young man, relying on your wealth, oblivious to your limits. How dare you offend the Morris family? You truly don’t know the meaning of life and death.” After he said that, he glanced around.
