Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad

Chapter 422 Unknown

The underground emperor of this city is Leo, but that does not mean that Leo has full control of all the underworld in this city. Leo is indeed understated, but Juan is more understated than Leo.

To be precise, Juan has been consciously hiding his true strength. He is the second strongest in the business territory and underworld.

But he is always in the dark. Even if he is slightly inferior to Leo, as long as he launches an attack unexpectedly, even Leo could not restrict it. Moreover, in order to find Claire, Leo disperses his power, which is a God-given opportunity for Juan.

With bald man leading the forces of Juan's subordinate, Leo's forces are quickly hit.. Firstly, the leaders of Leo's forces do not expect that someone would dare to start an attack to them. Secondly, there are always more people on Juan's side than they are, and even if they are guarded, it would not help.

In just a few days, the night of the city is chaotic, and the battle soon begins. After the sword, Leo always suffers more casualty. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

The most terrible thing is that dozens of night clubs controlled by Leo have already fallen into Juan’s control in the first two or three day of the battle, and the losses are enormous. And Juan's nightclub is exposed on the stage.

This time Juan's blow to Leo is all-round, not even the economic squeeze.

Leo not only does not find Claire, not even finds Juan who attacked him.

In the box of one of the largest nightclubs in the city, Leo who is sitting on the sofa closes his eyes tightly, and clicks his fingers on his knees.

There is no music in the box, only a few small leaders kneeling in front of Leo and the oppressive smell of cigarettes.

“Mr. Howard, our subordinate suffers heavy casualties and all the nightclub is forced to close.”

One of the little leaders reports the situation in horror. When he talks about the disastrous consequence, he licks his lips. Seeing that Leo is still silent, he doesn’t dare to say anything. He just looks at the floor and doesn’t dare to move.

“Huh, Go on.”

Leo's voice sounds very husky. It seems like that he has been worrying too much recently, or he is too tired.

“There are a lot of people to provoke in some of our nightclubs. Our subordinate clash with those people, and then the police come and arrest our fallows.” The little boss affirms, “It is clear that the other party has inform the police. Yeah, we have trouble dealing with it easily.”

The little boss finishes, and the box falls into an extremely quiet silence.

After a long time, Leo takes a long sigh and then straightens up, “If you can't maintain the operation, we will suspend business. If all this keeps going, we will have more casualties.”

Leo haven’t realized that Juan had already grown so powerful. He could use the underworld and the government party as tools. This makes him have to avoid Juan's attack temporarily.

For the first time in many years, Leo encounters such a fatal enemy, and it is also the first time to convince himself to make a concession. All of them look at Leo in surprise, as if they know their boss for the first time.

One of the other middle-aged leaders hesitates for a long time and says, “Mr. Howard, in my humble opinion, we can still fight them if we gather all of our power together now. After all, the subordinates that you has cultivated for so many years are not easy to defeat. Please believe in our capabilities.”

Leo finally looks up at the talking man, and then ticks his fingers to signal that they can stand up.

The bosses stand up with an emotion of uncertainty. Working for Leo, they are real portraits of the old saying “accompanying an emperor is like accompanying a tiger”, and they could not be careless for a moment.

Leo says hoarsely, “The goal now is to find Claire. Concession about the business of the nightclub can be made, they can be closed if it doesn't help.”

He adds, “I can still afford this loss, and the injured subordinate should be treated with kindness. In addition, I emphasize that Claire is more important than my life. I don't want to hear those words ever.”

The leaders who have just stand up suddenly kneel down again. Although Leo is not furious, he seems calm because of his weakness.

In other words, the man who spoke just take a walk at death’s door.

All the leaders are sweaty and don’t dare to speak again.

Leo feels rather upset, and waves his hands. Then he tells those leaders to get out of the room.

Leo presses his temples and tries to stop his headache, but Claire's voice and smile keeps appearing in his mind which makes him feel irritable.

Anyway, he has to get Claire back. Leo is not a fool. Of course, he knows that searching the whole town in this way is almost useless, but he cannot allow himself to quit.

The same is true for Conan. Conan tries every methods he knows to hack in various intelligence systems but he still couldn’t find anything about Bennett, and he is so anxious that he couldn’t even eat anything. This makes Leo very worried and guilty for being such a useless father.

Under such pressure, Leo feels extravagant to take a break.

While Leo is thinking about this, the box knocks open, and Luke comes in.

It is only Luke who has the courage to enter the room without asking for permission.

“Howard, you really need to rest, you gonna die if you go on like this.”

Looking at Leo's pale and scarlet face, Luke is so worried and anxious that he even wants to stun Leo home directly.

“You must have news about Bennett. Tell me something.”

There is hope in Leo's dim eyes, and Luke wouldn't have been in such a hurry without any news.

Luke looks at Leo helplessly, and eventually nods, “There’s news indeed, but it's weird. Juan seems to want to play games with you.”

“Play games?”

“That's it. I get news about Bennett in total. First, she will attend a celebration conference for a company tomorrow night. Secondly, she is recently spotted in a hotel. Thirdly, she will attend a business conference with Juan.”

“Are there any photos?” Leo also notices something wrong, obviously there is absolutely false news in this information.

Luke shakes his head and replies, “There are no photos, I have conformed those with our subordinate, they all say that it is true. Although I think these information is probably wrong, I decide to tell you anyway.”

Leo is lost in thinking. Luke is right, and there must be something wrong. There is only one Claire, and it is impossible for her to be traced everywhere, it must be Juan who set all this up.
