“Do you have any plans to deal with him, Jamie?” Bruno asked.
Jamie shook his head and then brightened up, saying, “Do you have a good idea?”
“I do have a plan that can completely kill that freeloader!” Bruno’s tone turned ruthless.
“Oh, what’s the plan? Tell me,” Jamie became interested.
“Jamie, even though Sophia and Leo are divorced, I know that Leo still cares about Sophia the most. Now that your master has arrived, why don’t we use Sophia to kill Leo, just like before?” Bruno’s real intention was not only to deal with Leo but also to target Sophia.
Because the McGuire family has explicitly stated that Henley’s Corp should not interfere with Sophia Cosmetics.
So Bruno wanted to take control of Sophia Cosmetics and for that, he needed something to happen to Sophia.
As long as something happened to Sophia, taking over Sophia Cosmetics would be a natural course of action.
“Using the same trick again…” Jamie pondered.
Bruno eagerly awaited Jamie’s plan.
Soon, Jamie’s eyes lit up, and he instinctively glanced at the door before lowering his voice and saying, “My master is not only proficient in curse techniques but also skilled in witchcraft. He is about to succeed in refining a fusion of witchcraft and curse technique, a spiritual puppet. If we use the spiritual puppet to deal with Sophia and Leo, hehe…”
Bruno’s face lit up with joy, “That would be perfect!”
“Mr. Henley, let me go and report to my master. I’ll see if he’s willing to help you,” Jamie suggested.
Bruno wasn’t in a hurry and clasped his fists, saying, “Thank you, Jamie.”
“If you don’t have any other business, please go back and wait for my message. I need to go back and guard my master,” Jamie said.
Bruno didn’t dare to be negligent and quickly raised his hand, making a gesture of permission. “Jamie, I won’t delay you and Master Nicholson any longer. I’ll wait for your message.”
Jamie nodded and turned around, striding back to his room.
Watching Jamie enter the room, Bruno’s face revealed a sinister smile.
Leo, Sophia, you pair of wretched individuals!
This time, I will make you completely evaporate from this world!
Three days later, Leo emerged from the wooden house near the Spirit Crocodile Pond at the Spirit Crocodile Cliff.
After three days of seclusion, Leo successfully advanced to the next level, the Spirit General Realm.
Turning some Spirit Jade into powder and fertilizing the planted spirit herbs, Leo left the Spirit Crocodile Cliff.
Returning to the Seven Stars Sword Sect, he handed the Azure Frost Sword to Jennifer, had lunch, and then drove back to the city.
On the way, his phone rang, and it was Elroy, the archaeology expert, Professor Orlando, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.
“Hello, Professor Orlando,” Leo answered the call.
“Dr. Bloomer, I’m bothering you again,” a slightly weary voice came from the car’s speakers.
“Professor Orlando, please don’t be so polite.” Leo respected this knowledgeable expert. “Did you encounter some geomancy problem?”
Professor Orlando calling him suddenly meant that it was most likely related to geomancy.
Leo recalled the last time he assisted Professor Orlando and his team in archaeology at Riverside Village Front Car Mountain.
Sure enough, Professor Orlando straightforwardly said, “Indeed, we encountered a geomancy problem, and it’s quite tricky. I would like to invite you to Riverdale.”
Leo thought for a moment and replied, “Okay, is it urgent? If not, I can take a flight tomorrow morning.”
“Great, it’s not urgent. Let’s meet tomorrow morning at Riverdale Airfield,” said Professor Orlando in a delighted tone.
After hanging up the phone, Leo sighed softly. It seemed that he would have to postpone dealing with the Koken family’s matter once again.
…
In a village in Langstel, a burly man with small eyes and a ferocious expression angrily slapped the table in front of him.
“How did Baldy end up in a vegetative state? What the hell happened?” the man angrily questioned.
One of his subordinates nervously replied, “Wolfy, Baldy and the others went to deal with a freeloading son-in-law, but…”
“But what? Spit it out!” Wolfy, as the man was called, roared.
“Baldy ended up in a vegetative state after being beaten by that person. Everyone Baldy brought with him ended up in the hospital,” the subordinate said, having been present at the scene. The gruesome scene still made him shudder when he thought about it.
“What’s the name of that freeloading son-in-law?” Wolfy asked.
The subordinate replied, “It seems like his name is… Leo.”
“Leo!?” Wolfy’s expression suddenly changed, and his anger vanished completely from his face.
Noticing the unusual change in Wolfy’s expression, the subordinate tentatively asked, “Wolfy, should we avenge Baldy?”
Wolfy couldn’t help but slap him across the face. “Avenge my ass! Do you know who that Leo is?”
“Isn’t he just a freeloading useless son-in-law?” the subordinate covered his face, feeling that Wolfy seemed somewhat afraid of Leo, looking confused.
Wolfy wanted to slap him again, but the subordinate quickly retreated.
“He’s not just a useless son-in-law, he’s also the blood brother of the Gray Zone boss, Bob! Baldy, that idiot, didn’t even investigate properly before taking action. He deserved to end up in a vegetative state!” Wolfy said.
“Oh, and why did Baldy go looking for trouble with that Leo?” the subordinate explained how Jessica approached them, paying Baldy to do something to Leo.
Wolfy contemplated for a moment, a strange smile appearing on his face. “It’s interesting that the mother-in-law wants her son-in-law dead.”
“Wolfy, today is the day Jessica arranged to complete the task. She should be here soon. What should we do?” the subordinate asked.
Just as the subordinate finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Wolfy signaled for his subordinate to open the door.
The door opened, and Jessica walked in with great arrogance.
After scanning the room with a glance, Jessica shouted, “Where’s Baldy? Tell him to come out and see me!”
The gazes of the subordinates all fell on Jessica, but no one spoke.
Wolfy stepped forward and smiled, “Madam, I’m afraid Baldy can’t come out anymore.”
“What do you mean?” Jessica huffed, her nostrils flaring.
“Because he’s now in a vegetative state. I’m the one in charge now. If there’s anything, you can tell me,” Wolfy maintained his smile.
“Baldy is in a vegetative state?” Jessica paused for a moment, then angrily exclaimed, “I don’t care who’s in charge, you took my money and didn’t finish the job. Give back my three hundred thousand!”
Jessica reached out her hand towards Wolfy.
Before coming, Jessica had secretly visited the Nameless Clinic to check on Leo. He was perfectly fine, with no missing limbs or anything.
This situation angered Jessica, as she felt deceived.
“Jessica, I don’t owe you three hundred thousand. On the contrary, you owe me one million,” Wolfy’s smile turned wicked.
Noticing the change in the man’s expression, Jessica’s heart skipped a beat, and she unconsciously took a step back, asking, “What do you mean? When did I owe you money?”
