The auction ended as Leo won the identity badge of the the Cohen Group at an absurd high price of 1.52 billion.
The major families left one after another. Leo also left the Dimensity Building after the handover procedures were done.
Although it cost 1.5 billion, it was still too little for Leo to care about. Moreover, HY Business Association was being managed by Forrest, which meant that Leo was buying staff from his own company. The money did have been transferred, but Leo didn't seem to have spent any money at all.
Moreover, Leo was more concerned about whether the badge could help him figure out his family background.
William said he was an orphan, and no one knew who his parents were. Someone put him at the gate of the Henderson family on a stormy night.
William pitied him and adopted him.
As for his name, when William brought him in the house, somebody had already written "Leo Cohen" on his arms.
While raising Leo, William waited for someone from the Cohen Group coming to visit. However, no one had ever come, as if they had forgotten about Leo.
"My Lord, how is it? Did you find anything?"
Nadine caught up with him and asked anxiously.
Leo stared at it for a long time. Then he shook his head. "There's no clue at all.”
He played with it for quite a while. The badge was made of gold, and has elegant patterns. Other than that, there was nothing special about it.
Nadine looked disappointed. She was an orphan, too. Her childhood was even more miserable than Leo's, so she sincerely hoped that Leo would find his origin someday.Leo just smiled and didn't show any concerns. He played with a badge for a while and put it back in his pocket. "I didn't find anything, but it's fine. Life's good enough for me now."
As for his family background, Leo didn't care much about it. He felt fine as long as he could be with his family and his friends were happy
As for this badge, Leo believed it would be helpful in the future.
Now that he had this badge, the Henderson and Newman families would reconsider Leo's weight.
He can also be bolder than before because he had gotten the the Cohen Group behind his back.
“Let's split here."
Leo smiled at Millie behind him and said.
"What?"
Millie's face changed because she wanted to stay longer with Leo. She said, "It's still early. We seldom come to Hopkins
Metropolis. How about hanging out for a while at night first..."
She didn't want to give up and wanted to ask Leo out, but Leo shook his head and refused her. "No, thanks. My wife and daughter will come to see me tomorrow. You can go back now."
After that, he took Nadine and strode away.
Millie stood there, and her mind went empty. She looked pretty disappointed.
Just by then, Sandra walked over and whispered, "His wife is coming to see him tomorrow. What if you run into her and get caught if you stay here?"
Millie nodded subconsciously, but then she froze for a while and growled, “Tell me, what do you mean by ‘got caught'? I'm not his mistress..
Sandra was startled and hurriedly said, "Does that really matter? You're with Mr. Cohen today, and I'm sure the public will know it tomorrow!"
Sandra thought Millie would be scared, but Millie thought for a while and suddenly had a light flickering in her eyes.
“You get the point, Sandra!"
Millie grabbed Sandra's shoulders in excitement and said, "It doesn't matter if it's true! A repeated slander makes others believe."
Sandra stayed there for quite a while. For some reason, she felt she had talked some false senses into Millie.
Just before Leo and Nadine were about to get in the car, they heard an angry growl coming from behind.
"Stop!"
Leo looked back, and his eyes narrowed with dangerous lights. "It's you?"
Brooke walked over with a gloomy face, followed by a large group of people. They circled Leo and Nadine.
“Leo, are you sick of living? How dare you rob the thing I liked?"
Brooke shouted angrily with killing intent in his eyes.
However, Leo just smiled coldly at him and said, "I've given you the opportunity, but you didn't have that much money."
“Don't you dare to mention that again!"
Leo's reply seemed to have provoked Brooke. He had been pushed to his limits and said, "How could the price rise to 1.5 billion if it weren't for you! You made me embarrassed. I'll teach you a lesson to vent my hatred!"
Judging from the number of people he was with and when they met, Leo was sure Brooke had been waiting here for a while.
However, Leo didn't seem afraid and asked casually, "Then how are you going to teach me the lesson?"
"It's simple."
Brooke sneered and stretched out two fingers. “First, give me the badge and snap off your arms, and then I'll spare your life.
Second, let me kill you right now!"
As soon as he said that, those men in black behind him immediately surrounded Leo and Nadine.
Each of these people held a dagger in their hands and looked at the two people coldly.
Seeing this, Leo and Nadine shook their heads and said, "It looks like you've learned nothing from the demise of the Hudson family and the warning of the Watts family."
Hearing that, Brooke sneered even louder. "The Palmer family and the Grant family destroyed the Hudson family, and the Watts family was intimidated by HY Business Association behind your back. What does that have to do with you."
Leo couldn't help laughing out and looked at him playfully, "Do you really think so?"
Seeing that Leo didn't intend to hand over the badge, Brooke's face turned grim and said, "Go to hell, if you insist."
As soon as he said that, all the men in black stepped forward. The daggers in their hands were heading to Leo and Nadine with cold light.
Leo and Nadine watched calmly, and just when Brooke thought they were going to be stabbed, they heard a deafening roar of an engine coming from behind.
A roaring Mercedes-Benz business car pulled over, and a middle-aged man came out of it. He had sharp brows and sharp eyes, looking so stern.
Seeing Brooke's people stabbing Leo and Nadine, the man widened his eyes and yelled, "Stop!"
His roar was so full of anger that not only did all the men in black stop, but even Brooke's face changed drastically.
Brooke looked back and saw their family patriarch standing behind him.
