Chapter 10
“Leonard, have you arrived? You must come.” Waylon called Leonard.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lambert. I’ll be there soon”
Leonard hung up the phone, and he stopped the car in the parking lot.
He took the plastic bag and got out of the car.
“Rex, go and do your work. I will call you if there is anything”
Leonard waved his hand at Rex.
He found that besides doing things for him, Rex was also busy with other things, which should have been ordered by Ibrahim.
Since Rex didn’t say anything, Leonard would never ask.
At this moment, many people gathered around the entrance of the museum.
All of them were dressed in fancy dresses and famous watches. They were all elites in Newden City.
They didn’t come here for antiques, but they hoped to get acquainted with the chairman of the Newden Chamber of Commerce, Waylon Lambert.
Before Leonard stepped into the museum, he heard a surprised voice. “Leonard, why are you here?”
Turning around, he saw Kenia, Willie, and Judy who had just walked to the door.
“I heard that there is an antique exhibition, so I came here,” Leonard said with a smile.
“Leonard, why do you come to this kind of place? After you were released from prison, why don’t you look for a job?” Willie reprimanded.
He disliked Leonard more recently.
“I come to see if there is any good diamond, and I want to buy one,” Leonard said truthfully.
“Diamond? Do you know how expensive it is? It costs at least tens of thousands of dollars. Can you afford it?
“What’s in that bag? Show me,” Willie said with a sullen face.
He was worried that Leonard learned something bad in prison. Would he have any bad thoughts at today’s antique exhibition?
“It’s money,” Leonard said.
He was not afraid that Willie would know his current situation.
It was Willie who misunderstood him all the time.
“Are you crazy?
“Forget it. I don’t bother to look at it. Remember, there are many noble people today. Be quiet, and don’t cause any trouble.” Willie snorted coldly, but in the next moment, he smiled and went to a fat man.
“Mr. Carter.”
“Mr. Barton! I didn’t want to come, but Mr. Lambert called me to invite me.”
Willie immediately said respectfully, “Mr. Lambert is a famous figure in Newden City. Mr. Carter, can you introduce me to him…”
Leonard didn’t want to stay here
anymore.
While Willie was chatting with Mr. Carter, he walked directly into the museum.

You are Leonard, right?”
As soon as Leonard entered the museum, a man in a bow tie greeted him.
Leonard nodded. “Yes”
Mr. Lambert is chatting with other bosses, and he let me lead you up
“Okay.”
Leonard straightened his clothes and followed him to the second floor.
The first floor was the museum, while the second floor was the private arca.
In the room on the second floor, several men were sitting there, all of whom were famous figures in Newden City,
A woman wearing gold–rimmed glasses sat next to Waylon. She looked graceful and capable.
Everyone had to be careful about where to sit on this occasion.
Since the woman sat first on the left side, it meant that her status was second only to Waylon’s.
A man who looked like a scholar took the initiative to talk to the woman, “Ms. Moreno, Santos Group has just won the land in the south of the city. Can we share this project?”
This woman was Gracia Moreno, the president of Santos Group.
“Of course, Santos Group still needs your help in Newden City.”
Waylon laughed loudly. “Gracia has assets worth more than two billion dollars at such a young age, and she will surpass us soon in the future.
“I think the next president of the chamber of commerce must be you, Gracia.”
Hearing this, Gracia immediately panicked.
“Mr. Lambert, please stop joking with me.” novelbin
Immediately, everyone in the room burst into laughter.
“Mr. Lambert, hasn’t your friend come yet?”
“Soon,” Waylon said. “Although my friend is young, he is an expert in antiques, so I want to introduce him to you. Please help him in the future.”
“No problem. Your friend is our friend.”
The middle–aged man who looked like a scholar laughed loudly.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Come in,” Waylon said.
Leonard walked in with a plastic bag
His appearance made the several bosses present a little stunned.
Gracia suddenly stood up and asked, “Mr. Lambert, is this the young man you are waiting for?”
Waylon wondered why Gracia had such a big reaction, but he still nodded and said, “Yes, Leonard and I met three days ago. Ms. Moreno, do you also know him?”
Several other bosses also showed curiosity.
Gracia left her position and walked towards Leonard.
“Mr. Santos, why are you here? I’m not working at the company at this time but come here. You won’t deduct my salary, will you?”
Gracia smiled and said sweetly and coquettishly.
Leonard smiled slightly. “How can I deduct the salary of a beauty like you, Ms. Moreno?”
The conversation between the two shocked all the bosses present.
Was this man the mysterious boss of Santos Group?
Santos Group acquired Greenness Group half a month ago, and even the original team of Greenness Group had been bought.
At the same time, they made several large investments in a row and then became famous.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for Gracia to sit next to Waylon among so many bosses.

Chapter 10
But there had been various rumors about the boss behind Santos Group.
They didn’t expect it to be Leonard.
“Leonard, I didn’t expect you to be so powerful
Waylon suppressed the shock in his heart and laughed loudly.
Others also stood up and shook hands with Leonard
Leonard sat down next to Gracia.
Even Gracia looked at Leonard with curiosity.
Not to mention the other people present, even she knew little about Leonard.
“Since Mr. Santos is here, it’s time for me to take out my treasures,” Waylon said and clapped his hands.
Immediately, several waiters came in with wooden trays.
Soon, several antiques were placed on the table.
“These are some of my treasures. You can take a look.
“Mr. Santos, take a close look. You are an expert.”
Leonard smiled. “Thank you.”
Those things included paintings and jewelry.
Leonard was immediately attracted by the necklace placed in the center.
“Mr. Lambert, can I have this necklace?” Leonard asked.
Waylon smiled.
This necklace was originally prepared by him for Leonard.
However, it was not top–notch because Waylon didn’t expect Leonard to be so powerful before.
If he knew Leonard’s true identity, he would have brought out other more valuable necklaces.
“Mr. Santos, if you like it, just take it,” Waylon said.
“Mr. Lambert, how much is it?”
Leonard picked up the necklace and played with it.
The shape of the necklace was in line with Taoism, and Ibrahim would like it.
The diamond’s price didn’t decide its value.
“Okay.”
Waylon stretched out four fingers, representing 40 thousand dollars.
But Leonard knew that the price of this necklace was more than this, and it was worth at least 160 thousand dollars.
“Mr. Lambert, I’ll offer 200 thousand dollars.”
Leonard put the black plastic bag on the table.
He opened the plastic bag to reveal the neat banknotes inside.
Suddenly, several bosses were dumbfounded.
Why did Leonard carry so much cash with him?
Besides, he even put the cash in plastic bags.
Even Gracia was a little speechless.
Leonard’s behavior was strange.
“Mr. Santos, what are you doing? How can I earn your money?”
Waylon pretended to be angry.
Seeing that Leonard wouldn’t buy it if Waylon didn’t take the money, Waylon finally sighed.
“Mr. Santos, to be honest, I insist on giving you this necklace because I want you to do me a favor.”
Waylon knew that it was impossible for Leonard to owe him a favor, so he just cut to the chase. “What is it?”

All of them had assets of more than 20 million dollars, but the price for a diamond was sky–high.
Lord deugle for a while and said, “Okay, I will help you.”
Thank you Mr Santos
Leonard stayed for a while, then got up and left.
Since he had got the necklace, he had no intention of staying here with these people.
“Mr. Santos, I’ll see you off”
Seeing that Leonard was about to leave, Gracia hurriedly got up.
“No need. Keep drinking coffee.”
Leonard waved his hand.
Gracia was a little dazed.
She was such a beautiful woman, but she was rejected.
It made her feel a little frustrated.
Leonard walked down the second floor, intending to leave directly.
At this time, a strong man in a black suit blocked Leonard’s way.
“Are you Mr. Santos? My boss wants to see you.”
The man said in a cold voice, without much emotion in his tone.
Leonard noticed that there were many calluses on the man’s hands, and he should have practiced martial arts.
“Sorry, I’m not free.”
Leonard cast a glance not far away, and there was a middle–aged man standing there. Behind him stood many subordinates like the man in front of him, with a strong vicious aura.
“Mr. Santos, my boss is Zayd Nelson. He wants to get to know you.”
The strong man’s voice was calm, but he felt a bit of displeasure in his heart.
Even Waylon had to be polite to his boss.
Although the young man in front of him was extraordinary, he was not at the same level as his boss.
Im not interested in getting to know him,” Leonard said coldly; he was about to leave.
There was a cold light in the man’s eyes.
He didn’t expect Leonard to be so arrogant and disrespectful after he mentioned the name of his boss.
When the man was hesitating whether to take Leonard down, a voice came from behind. “Terry, come back.”
Terry Hogg gave Leonard a vicious look. He turned around and returned to the middle–aged man.
Leonard walked out of the museum indifferently.
Terry said indignantly, “Mr. Nelson, I don’t think this boy is anything special. Jeff is a loser. How about I take someone to disable him now?”
“He is quite interesting!” Zayd chuckle
