Chapter 421 The Beginning of the conspiracy
Leo, after hearing the news from Conan, falls into thinking on the sofa. Luke and Kate watches him silently, waiting for Leo to make a decision.
“Daddy? What are you going to do? I can do my best to help you.” Conan is eager to try, and he now wants to give Leo a hand.
But Leo waves his hand, “Conan, this is getting more and more complicated, and it will be very dangerous if it involves the underworld. You’d better stay away from this.”
After that, he turns to look at Luke and says, “The intelligence personnel have been assigned, you and Kate to take care of Conan, I may be busy at this time.”
Luke busily says, “Kate can take care of Conan, I want to help you.”
Leo refuses, “I get my own way to do it.”
Luke worriedly says, “Howard, you don't want to expose yourself directly, do you? if you initiate so many underworld people, it will have a bad impact on the company.”
Leo sighs and smiles bitterly, “This is no longer a concern, even if sooner or later my identity will be exposed. So, you also deal with the company's public relations affairs, I will send everyone to find Bennett.”
Leo no longer shows his previous anxiety. Instead, he is determined and confident. At this moment, his body seems to exude reassuring power.
Conan clenches his fists and says, “Daddy, I believe you can do well.”
Leo nods, and finally gets up his breath after smoking a cigarette. He stands up, tidies up his suit, and walks out of the room with everyone watching.
Leo sits in the car and turns on the phone.
“Ten minutes, inform all the leaders to come to see me.”
It is just a simple order, and Leo hangs up the phone and drives the car to a nightclub in the city.
This nightclub is a property of the Howard Group. There is a huge conference room on the fifth floor of the nightclub. Whenever Leo comes to this meeting room, he represents himself as the underworld god.
The meeting room is very simple, with white lighting and no other decoration. It only has simple conference tables and chairs. When Leo walks slowly into the room, all the people from the underworld who have already arrived stand up and bow to Leo.
These underworld leaders are all dressed in neat black suits. If they are not observed carefully, they would think that these people are the elite of the business sector.
Leo takes a seat, and the dozen underworld leaders sit down neatly again.
There is no dialogue during this period, and you can see how scary Leo's management of his subordinate is.
After Leo sits down, he looks around them first and then says directly, “I want to find Claire with all our power at all costs.”
Simple and violent orders, no transitions, no extra words.
“Mr. Howard, don't we need to worry about revealing your identity?” One of the well-dressed young men stands up and asks respectfully. His hands are shaking as he speaks.
Leo gives him a sideways glance, then says a little impatiently, “At all costs, I don't want to repeat my words.”
“Yes!”
More than a dozen people respond neatly, then they stand up like a robot and walk out of the conference room. Next, they will spread all their people, and turn the city upside down to find Claire. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Leo trains all his man for today. Even he has to search the entire world, so Leo believes that Claire would be found. He promises to protect Claire, even if he has to exposes himself. Even if the Howard Group would face pressure from public opinion and legal sanctions, he would spare no expense.
However, Leo's situation now is that the enemy is in the dark and he is in the bright side. So he can be detected by his enemy.
So, when Leo convenes a meeting and then dispatches his own staff, Juan have already gotten accurate news.
Leo couldn't get any news from Juan, but Juan could easily get Leo's every move in secret. This is completely a war of unequal information. The winner now seems to be Juan.
Of course, he thinks so too.
When Juan hears the news from the bald man, he finally can't help but laugh out loud. He laughs for a long time, and seems to have foreseen how Leo die in his hands.
“Boss, what do we do now?” The bald dares to ask this question after Juan laughs. He also wants to get rid of Leo now. The underworld god in this city will be him rather than Leo after this. It doesn’t matter whether he is Juan’s toy.
Juan holds the wine glass in one hand and taps the desk gently with the other. He closes his eyes and says, “What I want is that their subordinate all spread out. Leo is a good boy.”
With his bald eyes brighten, he asks tentatively, “What do you mean?”
Juan spills the wine from the glass slowly to the ground, as if toasting Leo, who is about to die. He says coldly, “Their men are just good for us to break them down. Even though he is the underworld god. We are in the dark, we just need to constantly consume their power.”
“Great! Boss!”
Juan doesn’t bother with this powerless farting, and he analyzes again, “I'm afraid that the Howard Group will soon face countless lawsuits and public pressure. You don't need to worry about this. The only thing you need to do is to take down everyone he sends out to find Claire.”
Leo, who has no staff at that time, is nothing but coward.
The bald man adds, “And we can pretend to release some news about Claire to seduce those people into our trap, which will make it easier.”
Juan nods. “You can handle these things yourself.”
The bald wonders, “Aren’t you going to take care of this yourself?”
Juan sneers and looks at him, and then says, “I try so hard to get Claire, and I should have been with her lately. I don't believe I'm worse than Leo.”
The bald smiles and he flatters, “Come on.” Then he is given a cold expression by Juan.
