NovelEnglishChapter 76
The hotel’s general manager turned pale.
“Full acquisition, the price stays the same. If you say no, I’ll find someone else. It doesn’t really affect me, but can your son afford to wait?”
The general manager’s son had lost ten billion on a cruise ship. If he failed to cup
ne up with the money to ransom him by the end of the month, his son would be fed to the fish in the open sea, his body never to be found again.
Even for wealthy individuals, gathering ten billion in cash was impossible in such a short time. Hence, he had no choice but to sell the Crystal Hotel.
The general manager was immediately drenched in cold sweat, realizing the man before him had come well–prepared.

“Alright, deal,” the general manager relented.
With the pen in his hand. “I’ll count to
Immediately, a contract for the acquisition was handed over to be signed by both parties after legal checks.
When Leslie finished the last signature, a voice from outside the door called, “Mr. Synder.” But, it quickly faded.
In foreign countries, most people referred to him by his English name. Locally, there were many people with the last nSynder. Sdidn’t even know his full name. But there was only one person who addressed him as “Mr. Synder“-Aurelia.
As everyone was about to celebrate the successful completion of the acquisition, Leslie suddenly stood up and rushed outside. With a loud bang as the door opened, Aurelia and the man in front of her were startled.
In the next moment, Aurelia saw Leslie walking out of the meeting room, his gaze cold as he looked at her and the man.
She immediately got up from the ground and ran to Leslie. She clung to his suit as if grasping a lifesaver.
“Mr. Synder,” her voice quivered. If Leslie hadn’t cout, she didn’t dare to think further. “What’s going on?” Leslie’s voice was slightly cold. He glanced at her reddened fingertips and stepped in front of her to shield her completely.
Aurelia’s heart skipped a beat, and she trembled as she spoke, “He’s a guest of my client. He pressuredto drink red wine, which I suspect was drugged. I tried to avoid him, but he chased after me.”
Upon hearing that, Leslie’s gaze towards the foreign man grew even colder. Unaccustomed to such a piercing stare, he pointed at Leslie and arrogantly questioned in Normish, “Who are you? How dare you interfere in my affairs?”
Leslie raised an eyebrow indifferently. “So what?”
Although the foreign man was muscular, Leslie was taller and exuded an even stronger presence.
Feeling a blow to his pride, the foreign man twitched his face. He waved his massive hand, roughly the size of two of Aurelia’s fists combined, and swung it at Leslie. “Fuck off, idiot!” “Mr. Synder, be careful!” Aurelia couldn’t explain where she found the courage. She squeezed out from behind Leslie and stepped in front of him. This was her problem, and if it ended up getting Leslie injured, she would feel utterly guilty.
She closed her eyes, preparing for the impending blow. Instead, she felt her waist tighten as she was lifted, followed by the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground.

Leslie’s cold voice echoed softly in Aurelia’s ears. Aurelia cautiously opened her eyes to find the foreign man lying on the ground, grimacing in pain. Meanwhile, Leslie casually patted his
trousers.
At the stime, upon hearing the noise, people poured out of the conference room. Shocked to see a woman in Leslie’s arms., their expressions ranged from astonishment to horror. Aurelia finally realized the situation and quickly freed herself from Leslie’s embrace. She thanked him, “Thank you for your help.”
Leslie did not respond. He narrowed his eyes, wondering why she was pretending not to know him.
Was he a virus or a plague? How many times had this happened?
Aurelia lowered her head, silently hoping she wouldn’t cause any trouble for Leslie, who was likely representing One Technology. But why would a programmer be involved in an acquisition? The people around her looked at her with expressions of disbelief.
“Boss…” a hesitant voice spoke.
Boss?
