Chapter 124
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 pa**ing 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 a**ured. 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.
“Everyone, the Morris family will handle this matter here. You can all disperse.”
Hearing this, the wealthy individuals in the room didn’t dare to say a word and quickly left.
Soon, the room was empty, leaving only Natalie and the people from King Pharmacy.
Andrew’s gaze once again fell upon Leonard.

Chapter 124
“Upon hearing the name of Imperial City’s Morris family, ordinary people would avoid it at all costs. Yet you’re so bold that you dare to openly defy the Morris family. Tell me. What background do you have?” Andrew asked.
Leonard chuckled, “Oh, so you want to discuss my background with me? Is it that only if my background is substantial can I stay alive?
Andrew shook his head. “You’re thinking too much. No matter how powerful your background is, it will never surpa** the Morris family’s. You have humiliated the Morris family. Even the gods will not be able to save you today.
“The reason why we are asking about your background is that we are just considering how to deal with your family.
“Of course, even if you don’t tell me, I also have ways to find out.”
Leonard couldn’t help but smirk. “I have no power, and I have no family. I present the biggest family myself. So what if it’s the Morris family?
“Don’t even mention the heir of the Morris family. Even if his father were here, I would still spit in his face.”
Andrew heard this, and his expression changed slightly.
The aura emanating from Leonard at this moment made him somewhat bewildered as if he saw someone else. But those people were proud because they all possessed extraordinary strength, enough to dominate others. How could this person before his eyes compare to them?
Pride without strength was nothing but a joke.
“You do have some backbone, but today, I will break your bones and shatter your spine, reducing you to a begging dog on the ground.”
Andrew said with a touch of maliciousness.
How could he be a good person who could kill any whole family at will?
As he spoke, he instructed the Morris family’s subordinates who were standing at the door. “Close the doors and break this man’s hands, feet, and spine. Throw him onto the street. I want the people of Newden City to know the consequences of offending the Morris family.
“Mr. Morris‘ words are the truth, the rule that must be followed and cannot be changed. No one can defy it.”
After he said that, the group of men in black surrounded Leonard.
Meanwhile, Andrew said to Brian, “Mr. Morris, the upcoming scene will be too bloody. I don’t want it to affect you. Let’s go.” But Brian shook his head. “No, I want to witness his miserable look with my own eyes. That’s what will make me happy.” As soon as he said that…
A man who tried to attack Leonard was sent flying in the air, crashing into a table and knocking it over.
Instantly, everyone was stunned.
Leonard’s action was too fast for them to react. But their companion had already been sent flying.
“This kid has some ability.”
Andrew coldly snorted and said, “Kill him. No need to hold back.”
