Chapter 30
The three of them walked out of the restaurant, and slapping could be heard from a distance.
Gracia had a smile on her face, for she believed Leonard stood out for her.
But Albert looked a little down.
Just now, he listened to Leonard’s words and walked out with Leonard, which meant that he would never be able to return to Stitch–Face.
What should he do next? He was at a loss.
“Albert, this kind of life doesn’t suit you. Find a decent job.”
Hearing Leonard’s words, Albert smiled wryly.
“Leonard, I also want to find a job, but you know my situation.
“I dropped out of elementary school before I finished. I have no knowledge, no education, and no skills.
“I really don’t know what to do.”
Leonard couldn’t help but look at Gracia next to him.
“Gracia, does our company have a position suitable for him?”
“In Albert’s situation, few departments are suitable. But two departinents can employ him, the logistics and security departments.
“The security department lacks a captain, but I don’t know if Albert is willing…”
Hearing Gracia’s words, Albert nodded hastily. “Of course I am.”
“Okay. Then you can come to work tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Ms. Moreno.”
Albert was a bit excited.
“Don’t thank me. Thank Leonard. He is the boss of the company.”
“Boss?”
Albert was surprised.
Albert had contact with some people among his classmates who graduated from elementary school and knew Leonard had been sent to prison three years ago.
And he thought that if Leonard had nowhere to go, he would let Leonard hang out with him.
Unexpectedly, Leonard was now the boss of the company.
But thinking about the situation in the restaurant just now, it seemed Jeff was cri ppled by Leonard a few days ago.
Albert didn’t know how Leonard had suddenly become so powerful. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Gracia had to return to the company for a meeting in the afternoon, and Albert also said goodbye to Leonard.
But just after parting with the two, Leonard received a call from Rex.
“Mr. Santos, my subordinates found out that Wilder and his family were having dinner at Harmony Restaurant today, and his uncle Larson was also there.”
“OK.”
Leonard hung up the phone and took a taxi to Harmony Restaurant.
Wilder didn’t listen to Leonard’s warning and even had a dirty mind for Kenia, so, of course, Leonard would teach him at lesson.
In the meantime, in the box of Harmony Restaurant.
The Cruz family was gathering together.
The middle–aged man with a gloomy face, sitting on the main seat, was Larson, Wilder’s uncle.
Next to him were Wilder and his parents.
Occasionally, wealthy people who also dined at Harmony Restaurant came to toast.
And from the beginning to the end, Larson sat on the main seat and never got up, just like a king-

Mr. Cruz, I’m so glad you’ve come back. I will definitely pay you a formal visit someday.”
All the bosses raised their wine glasses and said compliments.
Some of them were private entrepreneurs, some were executives of multinational corporations, and some were bigwigs who had their private forces. Almost all of them were influential figures in the upper circles of Newden City.
But now, facing Larson, they were all respectful and polite.
Larson sat motionless in his chair, nodding to everyone.
Now, with Merlin, the eldest son of the Acosta family, coming to power, Larson had become an influential figure in the Acosta family.
And his return to Newden City was like a dragon coming to a small pond.
In his eyes, the famous figures of Newden City were nothing but a bunch of small fish and shrimp. After all, this pond was
too small.
Wilder raised his glass only after the last toasted rich man left.
“Uncle, here’s to you.”
Wilder was wearing a white shirt with a happy face.
Since his uncle Larson came back, he had jumped into the ranks of the first–line wealthy second– generation in Newden City, and he was pretty pleased.
Especially with the support of his uncle, he no longer had to be afraid of that ba stard, Leonard.
Wilder was terrified when he came out of the Clouds Club that day.
But now he just felt like his spring returned.
“There is no need for that between families.”
Larson also picked up the wine glass and drank it down.
Larson was a martial arts practitioner. Alcohol could promote blood circulation, and he often drank it when practicing martial arts, which made him a good drinker.
“Wilder. I’ve been back to Newden City for a while and will return to Imperial City in a few days.
“Didn’t you say you want me to help you deal with that guy named Leonard? Find a time to meet him, and I’ll get him down on his knees to make amends.”
“Thank you, Uncle.”
Wilder wanted to mention this with Larson, but he didn’t expect Larson to bring it up first, and immediately, Wilder’s eyes were filled with joy.
Rowell, next to Wilder, was a little worried and said, “Wilder, I don’t think Leonard is easy to deal with. I think let’s just stay out of trouble. It’s the best.”
Wilder was dissatisfied when he heard that. “Dad, have you forgotten how he threatened us in the Clouds Club?”
“Now we have Uncle backing us, and Leonard is nothing to us. I want him to kneel before me, and I want to break his legs, sleep with his cousin in front of him, and show him what happens when he offends me.”
Wilder’s mother chimed in and said, “Exactly! He dares to threaten my son. Then, of course, he should pay for it.”
Larson also nodded and said, ‘Yes, Rowell. Wilder is right. With me here, what are you afraid of?
“I am now in charge of the business of the Acosta family. And I have enough influence even in Imperial City, let alone Newden City. Whoever dares to offend our family, I will kill him.”
“I’m so proud of you. Uncle.”
Wilder hastily flattered him.
While talking, the door of the box was suddenly kicked open with a bang.
The Cruz family looked toward the door together.
A young man in casual clothes stood at the door with his hands in his pockets.
Larson’s face darkened, and he said angrily. “Who are you?”
And Leonard smiled lightly and said, “I’m the one you were talking about just now.”
“You are Leonard?”
Larson’s eyes narrowed immediately, and a cold light flashed.
