From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 187

This elixir, with one smell, caused the Black Dragon Skill to react. If he took one, wouldn’t its effectiveness be even greater than the Miraculoberry he obtained last time?

Leonard knew that this was definitely a good thing.

This time, the Bailey family gave him the phial, which made him owe them a favor.

With that in mind, Leonard first stored the phial away and then drove back to Shoal Manor.

The basement of Shoal Manor still clacked continuously.

Tony was still practicing while Rex was on the phone handling matters.

Seeing Leonard enter, he quickly hung up the phone and walked over.

“Rex, help me check if any forces have been targeting the Bailey family recently?”

After Leonard gave his orders, Rex didn’t say much and immediately made phone calls to mobilize his resources and connections to investigate.

Meanwhile, Leonard couldn’t help but feel

uneasy.

The King Pharmacy was also a major corporation with many highly skilled martial artists under its banner. However, judging from what Natalie had just said, they seemed absolutely determined and unflinchingly faced death, indicating that the Bailey family was definitely not a match for that force. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have given him something so precious.

Naturally, Leonard couldn’t stand by and watch them be wiped out. With Rex’s capabilities, he should be able to quickly identify the force targeting the Bailey family.

At this moment, Barrett called.

“Leonard, the first batch of medicinal materials from the Bailey family has arrived. We can officially start production. In a maximum of ten days, the first batch of Elixir of Longevity will be ready for the market.”

On the phone, Barrett’s voice sounded somewhat excited.

“Really? That’s fantastic.

“Once the Elixir of Longevity hits the

market, you will be the main contributor.”

Leonard also said happily.

“By the way, do you have a good relationship with the King Pharmacy?” Barrett suddenly asked.

“Yeah, Barrett, why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Barrett quickly replied.

After hanging up the phone, Leonard sat cross-legged on the sofa and then opened the phial to take out a pill.

There were a total of five pills inside the vial.

The pill was a beautiful shade of orange.

But what truly attracted Leonard was the continuous fragrance emanating from the pill at this moment. With each inhalation, it seemed as if every part of his body was relaxing.

At the next moment, he placed the pill into his mouth, closed his eyes, and ran the Black Dragon Skill.

In an instant, he felt countless streams of heat spreading within his body, just like soaking in a hot spring.

The Black Dragon Skill quickly activated as

well, and vital energy continued to strengthen.

A terrifying aura emanated from Leonard, causing the air in the entire room to revolve around his body, forming a vortex.

After about half an hour, the aura around Leonard gradually subsided.

Upon opening his eyes, he felt like an entirely different person, as if he had undergone a transformation.

This half-hour of progress was equivalent to several months of his previous efforts.

In this light, if he were to consume all these pills, he should be able to break through to the fifth level of the Black Dragon Skill.

However, haste makes waste. He needed to fully absorb the energy of this pill first before taking the next one. He couldn’t afford to be too impatient.

Thinking this, Leonard stood up, and at that

moment, his phone rang.

The caller ID surprised Leonard. It was

Ibrahim calling. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Leonard, did you kill Anthony?”

Ibrahim asked directly without beating

around the bush.

While Anthony might not have been a significant figure within the Galen Group, his status was not low, and his death naturally caused quite a stir within the Galen Group.

Ibrahim, as the head of the Galen Group, had received the news for the first time.

Leonard nodded and said, “Well, you could say that. I severely injured him and then let someone else finish the job.”

There was nothing Leonard needed to hide from Ibrahim.

On the phone, Ibrahim pondered for a moment and said, “Anthony, just a mere person. His death is not a big deal. However, by killing him, you have given those within the Galen Group who already had ill intentions towards you a pretext.

“Now, many are demanding to revoke your eligibility as the Galen Group’s successor.

“Galen Group was originally meant to be passed on to you. Once you have sorted out the affairs in Newden, return to Galen Group after a few days to formally inherit the Galen Group. That way, no one will dare to judge you continuously.”

Upon hearing this, Leonard immediately responded, “Ibrahim, you are the Lord of

Galen Group. Why are you so eager to pass on the heavy burden of Galen Group to me? I’m not interested.”

In truth, Leonard wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about the position of Lord within the Galen Group. His main reason for subduing Noam was to prove to the people of the Galen Group that Ibrahim’s choice was not a mistake.

“Galen Group is just an organization I casually created to make it easier for me to handle certain matters because I don’t have the time to manage everything. Now, Galen Group is in chaos, and you are my disciple, so you should share the responsibilities with me. It’s not just Galen Group. There are other forces as well, and in the future, they will all be handed over to you one by one.”

Ibrahim said.

“Alright.”

With Ibrahim having said so, Leonard could only nod.

“Then arrange your schedule and let me know in advance. We haven’t seen each

other for a long time, and I would like to see if your martial arts skills have improved since your release.”

“Don’t worry, Ibrahim. I will definitely give

you a pleasant surprise.”

Leonard thought that after some time had passed, he would break through the fifth level of the Black Dragon Skill. By then, Ibrahim would surely be amazed!

Within the Dragon Valley, deep in the mountains, Garland, Ibrahim dressed in white training attire and stood by the railing of a building that resembled a palace, gazing at the distant peaks.

Behind Ibrahim, several young people were also standing silently, respectfully, and still, like javelins.

“Has the news of Leonard returning to the Galen Group to inherit the position of Lord been spread?”

Ibrahim heard footsteps approaching and asked without turning his head.

“It has already been spread, and the major factions within the Galen Group are secretly discussing their strategies.”

“Except for Noam, who is still in Newden, Brandon and Keith in seclusion, the other Elders have gathered their trusted individuals. The entire Galen Group is currently in a tense atmosphere.”

The young man who had just approached spoke respectfully.

“These people once established the renowned reputation of Galen Group, but after a few years of peace, all they seem to think about is intrigue and manipulation. It’s truly disappointing,” Ibrahim sighed.

“Lord Clarkson, if you value Mr. Santos so much, why intentionally release such news? Are you trying to clean up the Galen Group inside?”

The young man couldn’t help but ask.

He couldn’t quite fathom the thoughts of the elderly man before him.

Ibrahim smiled faintly. “Weren’t they all questioning my choice of successor? Then, I will let them know that Leonard is stronger than all of them. Those so-called Elders, leaders, guards, and the Grand Masters are all nothing more than insignificant figures in front of Leonard.”

The young man’s eyes showed a hint of curiosity as he said, “Mr. Santos is indeed formidable. He even managed to subdue Noam. I’m increasingly looking forward to meeting him and seeing the strength of your best disciple.”

“If I were to meet him, I would like to test his skills. The four of us were all personally trained by you, and I have heard that Mr. Santos only studied martial arts from you

for less than three years.”

The four young people behind Ibrahim all wore expressions of intense curiosity.

“When I was released from prison, he was already the strongest man in that prison, and with his talent, his strength must have improved even more after I left. He should have already reached the later stages of the third level of the Black Dragon Skill, and it’s a sure thing that he will enter the fourth level within three years. Even if the four of you teamed up, you wouldn’t be his match.”

Ibrahim couldn’t help but wear a proud expression when he mentioned Leonard.

“Is he that impressive? Although I haven’t practiced the Black Dragon Skill, my Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants Skill is close to perfection.”

The young man clearly seemed somewhat unconvinced.

The other three young people also had a look of eagerness in their eyes.

Ibrahim naturally understood the thoughts of the people behind him but only smiled gently and didn’t say much.
