Leonard returned to the headquarters, and Noam rushed over after receiving the news.
âMr. Santos, are you injured?â
Noam asked worriedly.
âIâm fine, but Rex is injured!â
After Leonard asked Noam to sit down, he said, âThis Rubin is on Egbertâs side. Regardless of whether his actions were under the instructions of Elder Landon, it would be a disaster to keep Elder Landon. I might as well take this opportunity to strip Elder Landon of his position as an Elder.â
Hearing Leonardâs words, Noam shook his head and said, âElder Landon is nothing to worry about.
However, Mr. Santos, have you ever wondered why he dared to openly oppose you despite knowing that youâre the heir chosen by Lord Clarkson?â
After hearing what Noam said, Leonard started to have doubts.
Noam was obviously hinting at him.
âAs far as I know, the Galen Group is feared by many forces because of its powerful strength. In the past years, when Lord Clarkson has been ignoring the affairs of the Galen Group, countless forces have infiltrated. In addition to the forces within the Galen Group, the Elders also have allies. outside. Thatâs why they dare not to take. Lord Clarkson seriously.â
âBetrayal and colluding with outsiders. They deserve to die!â A bit of murderous. intent appeared in Leonardâs eyes.
Then, he recalled Ibrahim saying that there were a few old guys keeping an eye on him at all times. Did those Elders turn to those people?
Leonard could not help but look at Noam with eagerness.
âHow about you? Has anyone tried to turn you?â
Noam smiled bitterly and nodded. âOf course. The Walton family of Imperial City.
âThe Walton family is known as the number one family in Imperial City. It controls extremely terrifying resources and power, far beyond what other families in the city can compare with.
âBesides me, there are several Elders in the Galen Group who are also on the Walton familyâs side, including the powerful Keith.â
The Walton family of Imperial City?
Leonard could not help but recall that the people who destroyed the entire Bailey family last time were members of the Walton family.
He did not expect them to have infiltrated even the Galen Group.
âThis family is really looking for death.â
After Noam left, Leonard took a shower and changed, feeling refreshed.
Rex, who had applied the Elixir of Longevity on his body, had his wounds completely healed.
At this time, Iwan, the hall leader of the Execution Hall, came to visit with two of his subordinates.
âHow did it go? Did you get anything out of Stuart?â
Leonard asked calmly. He sat on the sofa but did not invite Iwan to sit down.
âAfter questioning, it was found that Stuart accidentally leaked the news about inviting you over to Rubin. He was unaware of Rubinâs ambush on you.
âI have sent people to arrest all the remaining of Rubinâs subordinates.
According to the laws of the Galen Group, they will be severely punished.â
Iwan said.
âAre you saying that Stuart is free just like that?â
Leonard frowned.
âIs Stuart guilt-free just because he claimed he was unaware? No way he gets away so easily,â
Leonard thought.
Iwan shook his head. âOf course not. Mr. Santos, you were put in danger because of Stuart. Thereâs a high possibility that he conspired with Rubin or even did it deliberately.
âAlthough Rubin died and cannot provide any evidence, Stuart definitely had something to do with it.
âTechnically speaking, Stuart committed a capital crime and could be executed on the spot.
âHowever, after questioning, I learned that Stuart had sided with Elder Perez.â
Iwan looked at Leonard solemnly and said, âElder Perez is second only to the Lord in the Galen Group.
He has a high status and powerful strength. If Stuart is punished too severely, I am afraid that Elder Perez will be dissatisfied.
âMy suggestion is we should de-escalate the issue. Thereâs no need to offend Elder Perez. Just give Stuart some minor punishment, and it will do. Of course, it is best to hand Stuart over to someone on Elder Perezâs side to deal with.
âHe is on Brandonâs side. Doesnât handing him over to Brandon mean setting him free. completely?â
Leonard frowned. âI absolutely will not agree with this. Stuart must die.â
As soon as Leonard finished speaking, Iwanâs expression suddenly changed drastically. He hurriedly waved his hands and said, âMr. Santos, please donât be reckless. If you killed Stuart, Elder Perez would be furious, and the consequences would be disastrous.â
Iwan originally thought that Leonard would calm down after hearing what he had just said.
However, Leonard shook his head and said in a cold voice, âIwan, youâve really let me down. I originally thought since youâre the hall leader of the Execution Hall, youâd give me a satisfactory explanation.
However, I didnât expect that because you were afraid of the power of Brandon, you would actually want to turn a blind eye.
âIf the Execution Hall dares to let Stuart go, Iâll hold you accountable, and I wonât let you off easily.â
There was a horrifying chill in Leonardâs voice.
Iwan was dumbfounded, and he looked at Leonard with a strange look.
He did not expect Leonard to be this arrogant.
He kindly reminded Leonard and proposed the best plan for him, never mind that Leonard did not accept it, but he even threatened him.
Brandon was the most powerful person in the entire Galen Group besides Ibrahim. Plus, he had been in seclusion for many years, and his strength was unfathomable.
Some people said that Brandonâs strength was comparable to that of the Lord of the Galen Group, Ibrahim.
Since Ibrahim was not here to protect Leonard, if Leonard angered Brandon and Brandon decided to strike back, even if Leonard was the heir of the Lord, he might be killed.
âMr. Santos, you have to think twice before acting and donât act on impulse. You have to understand that Elder Perez is not someone you can afford to offend now,â Iwan said with a bit of dissatisfaction.
âAct on impulse? Iâm going to do exactly that. So what?â
As soon as Leonard finished speaking, his body suddenly disappeared. When he reappeared, he was already at the door.
The next moment, he punched out.
The door was blown to pieces.
A figure flew out from behind the door and landed in the yard.
Leonard strode out, came to the eavesdropper, and stepped on him.
With a loud crack, the eavesdropperâs head was instantly deformed under Leonardâs foot, and blood splattered.
âIwan, you listen to me well. From now on, in the Galen Group, those who obey me shall prosper, and those who go against me shall perish.
âStuartâs death is certain. If Brandon is not happy about that, I will kill him too!â
