Success never comes easily.
It was already late at night, but Luke Leonard was still watching the market trends and researching the latest projects.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
Without lifting his head, Luke said, "Put the coffee here, you can go back now."
He thought it was his secretary who hadn’t left yet.
"Sorry, I forgot to buy you coffee." A magnetic male voice came.
Luke was startled. This was a high-end office building; no one could enter without an access card!
He looked up, immediately showing a face of disbelief.
"Xi...Yang...Boss!" Luke’s lips were a bit clumsy, and after changing addresses twice, he finally confirmed how to address the person.
However, he was not speaking in the Federation Language, but in the language of Flame Country! It was standard Flame Country talk!
If someone was here, they would certainly be surprised that Luke Leonard could speak the language of Flame Country. Many big shots on Will Street were learning it now, but their tongues were all twisted and none could speak as fluently and accurately as Luke Leonard!
Yang Chen smiled and walked over to sit down on the sofa.
Luke Leonard hurriedly stood up to approach Yang Chen, but he stopped after one step, turned back to open the drawer under the desk, and hastily pulled out a carton of cigarettes, tearing it open to take out a pack.
Seeing this, Yang Chen’s eyes lit up, and he said, "Don’t open it, just bring it all to me. Oh my, you actually have cigarettes! I thought you didn’t smoke!"
Luke Leonard walked over with a grin, handing the entire carton to Yang Chen. Watching Yang Chen skillfully unpack and pull out a cigarette, he immediately lit it for Yang Chen with a Zoop lighter.
"Nice lighter!" Yang Chen smoothly kept the lighter.
Luke Leonard grinned indifferently, saying, "I don’t smoke, originally. These cigarettes were prepared for you. I never know when I’ll see you, so I always stay ready."
The tone of this suggested as if Luke Leonard was trying to curry favor with Yang Chen.
You have to know, Luke Leonard was now worth billions in Northern Federation currency!
On Will Street, he was a major player, a role whose every move would cause the entire Will Street to tremble.
If those who constantly monitored Luke Leonard’s movements knew he treated someone from Flame Country , their jaws would definitely drop.
Yang Chen didn’t find it strange; instead, he praised, "Well done, among these people, you’re the most meticulous."
Luke Leonard was very pleased with this praise.
"Boss..." Luke Leonard quietly asked Yang Chen, "When did you come to the Northern Federation? Is there some action?");
"No, just passing by, came to see you." Yang Chen crossed his legs, enjoying his cigarette.
"But..." Luke Leonard looked worried, "The Northern Federation isn’t stable right now, it seems someone is tracking your movements, aren’t you afraid of being exposed?"
Yang Chen smiled, looking at Luke Leonard: "I trust you!"
Upon hearing this, Luke Leonard’s eyes moistened, and he immediately said, "Rest assured, Boss! I will take care of all the troubles!"
If it were known that Luke Leonard was ready to go through fire and water for the sake of a young man’s words, people would surely think the world had gone mad.
"By the way!" Yang Chen said, "In the future, if something comes up, just contact Meng Po directly. I won’t handle matters for the time being."
"Meng Po?" Luke Leonard frowned slightly, though full of doubts in his heart, he wouldn’t question Yang Chen’s decision, "Yes!"
Yang Chen stood up and walked to the window.
He looked out at the neon lights and the activities in the surrounding buildings.
After a long time, Yang Chen turned around and asked, "Do you know John Bell?"
"John Bell? From Hayes Shares?" Luke Leonard immediately recalled the information about this person and said, "I know him. If you need, I can act right now, and make him go bankrupt before tomorrow morning’s market opens!"
"NO! NO! NO!" Yang Chen shook his head with a smile, "You’re a businessman, not a warrior, you must always think from a business perspective."
"Yes!" Luke Leonard replied respectfully.
"Arrange a meeting with John Bell tomorrow, I have some things to discuss with him." Yang Chen said casually.
"Yes! I’ll schedule it right now!" Luke Leonard went to his desk.
Yang Chen thought for a moment, "Set it for nine o’clock tomorrow morning!"
Luke Leonard immediately called his assistant to arrange a meeting with John Bell at nine o’clock the next morning.
After arranging, Luke Leonard looked up to find Yang Chen was already gone.
If not for the torn cigarette packaging left on the table, Luke Leonard would have thought he had hallucinated.
"Still as elusive as ever..." Luke Leonard took a deep breath, turned to look down at Gotham, and sighed deeply.
A few years ago, he was just a small figure struggling at the bottom.
When the gold rush in Lijia Continent occurred, he was down and out, so he went there.
Lijia Continent was a vast undeveloped land, full of opportunities! A fertile ground for wealth with gold and diamonds, but also soaked in blood!
It was filled with danger, any moment could cost one’s life.
Originally dreaming of making a fortune, Luke Leonard became a mining black laborer, living a life without daylight.
During that time, Luke Leonard was almost desperate; when he was about to end it all...his god appeared!
In a mountain valley, if he took another step forward, it would lead to a deep abyss, where falling would mean being smashed to pieces.
But Luke Leonard was unwilling, his heart full of vengeance and grand ambitions yet to be achieved.
"Why? God, why are you so unfair!" Luke Leonard roared, questioning the heavens.
"In Lijia Continent, God cannot look after His people, but I can!" A man rose from the canyon, showing Luke Leonard what a god was!
From that moment on, Luke Leonard had a true faith—Yang Chen!
In Lijia Continent, God could not take care of His people, but Yang Chen could; his capabilities could cover the entire world!
Since then, Yang Chen gave him hope and opportunity.
Luke Leonard had the chance to fulfill his ambitions and aspirations, which led to everything he has today.
Luke Leonard spread his arms, feeling the murky air of Gotham, feeling himself like a spokesperson chosen by a god, executing and managing everything on behalf of his god.
To outsiders, his success looked like a legendary story, but to Luke Leonard, he was a person favored by divine grace. If he couldn’t succeed with the help of a deity, it would be a joke.
