Supreme Mars novel Chapter 442

The L Group owned the 68th floor to the 88th floor of the International Commerce Center. There was one that was used as the staff gym.

At this moment, it was full of people.

Lydia had already got the place prepared after Music Maestro decided to give her concert.

As the audience flew in, the place was packed with crowds.

The attendees here were all big shots. People like them knew what was going on very well. Therefore, they were all willing to leave the best seats to those with high status.

Leo, Lydia, and Emilia had the best seats. They sat at the forefront.

Forrest, Alan, and Justin were sitting beside him. Ronnie, Millie, and the others were sitting further away.

"Mr. Cohen, the seed you planted in Emerdale has rooted there. The J Group is now in my charge. I've kicked out all people from the Watts family."

"As for my daughter and the little girl named Marie, I've already arranged them to be the interns in our group."

Now that the concert hadn't started yet, Alan took the time to report the situation to Leo.

"Well done."

Leo patted Alan's shoulder and grinned a satisfied smile.

He recognized Alan's ability, or he wouldn't have sent Alan to develop the market in Hopkins Metropolis.

Alan was flattered, and his face lit up.

Justin looked at Alan enviously. He also wanted to report something, but he was in Emerdale, and Leo knew what happened in Emerdale more clearly than he did.

After a moment of silence, Leo looked at Lydia.

"I want the L Group to set a branch in Hopkins Metropolis. Hopkins Metropolis is a regional economic center. If the L Group could hold a place in Hopkins Metropolis, I can guarantee you that we'll set foot on Valenham in the near future."

Lydia was moved.

"It's up to you. You have the final say in our family."

Leo had already set a plan for the future. Lydia understood that Leo was doing all of this so that she could make a decent return to Valenham.

When she returned to Valenham, Lydia would at least be on the same level as the royal families in Valenham.

Moreover, she would earn that honor by herself, not her family.

Forrest, however, wore a serious face.

"Mr. Cohen, I understand that you want the L Group to set foot on Hopkins Metropolis, but I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult.

Leo raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Hopkins Metropolis is the regional economic center of Sallton and Winham. It was under the charge of two major business associations, one is my HY Business Association, and the other one is JP Commerce Association."

"Although we were two of the eight Business Associations owned by Commerce Maestro, we still had our secret fights due to our respective interests."

"Most companies supported by our HY Business Association are in Emerdale, while most of JP Commerce Association's are in Hopkins Metropolis."

Leo immediately understood what Forrest meant.

Just like any other foreign company that wanted to set foot in local markets, they would receive the joint counterattack of the local companies.

However, Leo only responded with a gentle smile and told Forrest, "Try your best to help the companies. I think the companies in Hopkins Metropolis know which way the window will be blowing."

Leo's words gave Forrest much confidence.

"One more thing... I was told that JP Commerce Association wanted to 'support' the J Group."

Alan continued, "They called it 'support', but we all know that they only want to become a shareholder. They knew we're a member of HY Business Association, but they insisted that we should join JP Commerce Association, or they would put pressure on us."

Hearing that, Leo narrowed his eyes and murmured, "It seems that JP Commerce Association doesn't know how to behave themselves."

Lydia was standing aside. The more she heard, the more astonished she was.

If she hadn't listened to the conversation this time, she wouldn't have known that Leo's daily conversations were so full of great challenges and risks.

Just by then, the whole place fell into darkness as if the power had been cut off.

Swoosh!

The next moment, a lonely beam of light came down from above.

It caught the eyes of the audience, and they couldn't help focusing on the only light source here.

Someone showed up in the light. It was Judith, the Music Maestro.

Her face was covered in a hazy white veil as always, and she was wrapped in a plain white robe, walking to the center of the stage.

The place fell into silence all of a sudden.

She sat down quietly, with a few elegant women in white clothes behind her.

They were all disciples of her. The white robes were the symbol of her heritage.

Judith had a giant zither before her.

Music Maestro was proficient in almost all musical instruments, but she always had a special affection for the zither.

Ling'ring...

A rapid melody suddenly came up in the silent place. Music Maestro had put her hands on the zither and began to play.

The disciples behind her had started, too.
