Hearing that, Adviser Ashton was getting thrilled. He clenched his hands out of excitement.
Then Leon replied, “I need more! More than a hundred thousand!”
Adviser Ashton was rendered sullen, ‘He can’t even get enough with a hundred thousand? What a greedy guy!’ However, he still managed to hold back his curse as he was turned to be a mute. For him, it was still worth though it cost much.
Adviser Ashton then gritted and took out a piece of paper, on which there written one million.
Seeing the offer, Leon smiled with delight. However, Adviser Ashton turned to be livid as he had never expected that Leon would ask for such a avaricious price. But he could do nothing but to accept it.
Though Adviser Ashton was aware of his insatiable desire, now he still needed his help.
He had made up his mind that he would make his men attack Leon once he recovered his voice. At the thought of the fragility of this old man, Adviser Ashton couldn’t help snickering as if he were now staring at a moron.
At this moment, Leon took out a vial of medicinal liquid and said, “Drink it. Then you will have your voice back.”
Adviser Ashton took it and drank it. As expected, he could utter again, “Wow, that really surprises me!”
Leon then echoed proudly, “Of course it does!”
Scoot was stunned as it went beyond his expectation. He couldn’t even believe that he could have his voice back so soon. He couldn’t help getting thrilled again. What an unexpected fortune!
“Great! I am glad with it!” Adviser Ashton nodded contentedly.
Leon smiled, “Now I can have my money, right?”
Hearing that, Adviser Ashton let out a sinister smile as if the old man were joking, “Well, it seems that I did overestimate you. But now I can see through your weak nature under your seemingly strong facade.”
Leon looked infuriated all of a sudden. Of course, now he could tell that Adviser Ashton was just a fickle rat. Then he huffed with his overcast face, “Alright! Since that’s your choice, now you shall bear the consequence.”
Adviser Ashton deemed his words nothing but a brag. He waved his hand and then a group of men rushing in. At the same time, they started to initiate attack against Leon.
Leon casually took out something mysterious and then splashed it. Suddenly, those men kept screaming as if they were insane.
Adviser Ashton was dumfounded. He couldn’t even believe what was happening until he saw it with his own eyes.
Of course, he was wise enough to realize that he just offended someone he could never afford to offend. He took a deep breath out of shock and had no idea what to do.
Then Leon shifted his eyes on Adviser Ashton, who hurried to apologize, “Sorry, it’s all my fault! Please don’t do anything to hurt me. I will get you your money right now!”
Not until then did Leon stopped. When noticing that he got a sum of transfer in his bank account, he took a look at Adviser Ashton. Though he was not a guy crazy for money, he was still surprised when seeing the amount.
Adviser Ashton smiled to reply, “Just make it an appetizer for you. And now I still need you to do me a favor.”
“I know you are still up for something else. Alright, just tell me, what do you want? I don’t think I will turn it down if I am available,” Leon replied casually.
Adviser Ashton got excited when hearing his reply. Then Leon continued, “Do you know about Grace?”
“Of course. She is now staying with Maximilian, right?” Adviser Ashton hurried to say.
