From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor ( Yves Jimmy) novel Chapter 42

Chapter 42
Inside a factory on the southern border, several thieves who had stolen from Madilyn were all kneeling on the ground.
Sitting across from them on a chair was a stern middle-aged man.
He was Peter Hoots, a well-known tycoon on the border.
Despite his common name, Peter had a formidable reputation in the southern border region.
At this moment, Peter was gloomy.
The southern border was the border of Griffinland, full of all kinds of darkness and blood.
With his strong-arm tactics, Peter had established a foothold in the area, but every year new forces emerged, and the Hanson family’s position was being threatened. In recent years, there had been a downward trend.
Just recently, the Blood Emerald Pearl had appeared, and Peter had received the news that the famous organization, the Asura Sect, was highly interested in it.
So he tried his best to get the Blood Emerald Pearl and planned to give it to people from the Asura Sect to gain Asura Sect’s support and solve the current predicament of the Hanson family.
In order to obtain the Blood Emerald Pearl, two of Peter’s four top experts had died in battle.
Many other subordinates had suffered heavy losses, but they finally got it.
However, fearing that something might go wrong, Peter came up with a plan to deceive everyone.
He let his daughter take the Blood Emerald Pearl to Lerwick Mount to hand over to the Asura Sect representatives. Unfortunately, it had been lost.
After hearing the news, Peter immediately mobilized all his resources, to search for the thieves who had stolen the pearl in Lerwick Mount, and he finally found them today.
But these thieves said that the Blood Emerald Pearl was sna tched away by a young man.
After much beating and threatening, it was determined that the thieves were not lying.
So the most urgent task now was to find that young man.
“Madilyn, do you still remember the young man who warned you about the theft?”
Peter looked at his daughter Madilyn next to him.
At this moment, Madilyn also had a self-reproachful expression on her face.
Blood Emerald Pearl was the key to the success of the Hanson family, but she lost it.
If only she had listened to the young man’s advice and not judged him by his appearance, the Blood Emerald Pearl would have been successfully delivered to the Asura Sect, and their family’s difficulties would have been resolved.
Taking a deep breath, Madilyn nodded.
“I can remember the general appearance, but he looked like he was just a tourist on the southern border.
“I’m afraid that he is not from the southern border. If you want to find him, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack.”
“Ouch…”
Peter sighed.
“I can only have a try.
Just then, one of his subordinates walked over and whispered some words to Peter.
Peter was a bit surprised.
Jarod was dead, and the jewelry appraisal market in the southern border region would be reshuffled, which might be an opportunity for the Hanson family to enter the jewelry appraisal industry.
In the past, with Jarod in charge, the Hanson family had no chance at all.
However, the Blood Rose was not easy to deal with.
“By the way, are there any rumors about Jarod?” Peter asked.
The subordinate replied, “It is said that he was killed by people from Newden City, but the specific situation has not been

clarified yet…”
On the other side, after Leonard and others transported the gemstone to the airport, they completed the transport procedures and then got on the plane back to Newden City.
This trip to the southern border was fruitful.
Especially Leonard’s strength made Waylon more determined to make friends with Leonard.
Even Jacob looked at Leonard with awe in his eyes.
On the plane, Jacob couldn’t help asking, “Mr. Santos, it seems that the attack you used to defeat Jarod was the Eight Extremes Fist. Does that mean you are a disciple of the Eight Extremes Fist?”
Since ancient times, there had been a saying that “the literary works of Tai Chi bring peace to the world, while the martial arts of Eight Extremes control the universe.”
The Eight Extremes Fist was powerful and formidable.
Yet Leonard shook his head.
“I do know the Eight Extremes Fist, but I am not specialized in it. An old master taught me a lot of different boxing techniques, of which Eight Extremes is just one.”
Having said that, Leonard didn’t say anything.
The three years of prison life became a turning point in his life.
What Ibrahim taught him was more than just a few boxing techniques.
After three hours, the plane landed.
Waylon had already arranged a team for transporting gemstones in advance, and Leonard didn’t need to worry about these.
They walked outside the airport.
Just as they walked to the door, they were stopped by a group of men in black.
“Are you Leonard?”
Leonard was also full of doubts in his heart, but he still nodded and said, “Yes, who are you?”
The leading man in black directly showed his ID to Leonard. “We are the Sky Corps of the Governor’s Mansion. We waited for you at the airport for two days, and you finally showed up.”
“What do you want with me?”
Leonard frowned and asked.
These people clearly didn’t come with good intentions.
“Don’t you know what you’ve done wrong? Arrest him!”
The leading man in black waved his hand, and a group of people came up immediately to arrest Leonard. Leonard was not flustered and said, “Wait a minute. I’ll make a few calls to inform
my
friends.”
Leonard had recently offended many people, and he was afraid that someone had used Governor’s Mansion’s power to deal with him.
The Governor’s Mansion was the largest authority in Newden City, and the entire Newden City must obey the orders of the Governor’s Mansion.
The Sky Corps was a direct-affiliate security force of the Governor’s Mansion, similar to the Royal Guards in ancient times. Within Newden City, they hold the power to apprehend, judge, and even execute without seeking approval first.
“Okay, make your calls.”
The other side said coldly, not afraid of any tricks from Leonard.
Leonard took out his mobile phone and first called Eagle.
Eagle was the leader of the Eagles Corps and had considerable influence. Moreover, this guy listened to everything
Leonard said.
The second call was to a man named Hunter Lucas, the head of a financial conglomerate. He was Leonard’s staunch follower in prison, and his influence in Griffinland was terrifying.
The third call was to a bigshot in the underground world named Michael, also known as the Sick Tiger. His sphere of

influence happened to cover Newden City.
All three calls were made to the people closest to Newden City, except Rex.
In fact, Ibrahim’s influence must be greater than these three people, but Leonard wanted to solve these things by himself, just like a child wanted to prove to his parents that he could support himself.
This was Leonard’s small plan hidden deep inside.
After making the three phone calls, Leonard reached out his hand and allowed the other party to handcuff him.
Waylon couldn’t help looking at the leading man in black and asked, “What’s going on?”
The man in black said with a smile, “It turned out to be Mr. Lambert. We were only following the Governor’s orders. We don’t know the specific reason.”
After finishing speaking, he put Leonard directly into a black commercial vehicle, left the airport, and headed toward the Governor’s Mansion.
