Chapter 506
The Panax was extremely important to Leon and a partnership in exchange meant nothing. As far as
the disrespect Leonard showed him so far, Leon was not as narrow as to hold a grudge against him
over such a
thing.
“Um,” Sandra shot a confused look at Cynthia.
Since Leon introduced himself as an assistant, Sandra would need Cynthia’s, instead of Leon’s
approval on it.
“Yeah. What Leon said. If Mister Hines can get us the Panax, I’ll agree to the partnership.” Cynthia
nodded.
“Okay. It’s a deal, then,” Sandra said with a relieved smile.

“Sandra, what are you talking about? You seem so happy,” he asked gently.
“Cynthia came to Seacove City for the five–hundred–year–old Panax to be sold in the auction. She
already agreed that if you manage to help her get to it, she will agree on partnering with you,” Sandra
explained.
“Oh, I see.” Leonard was slightly surprised.
“Leonard, your family has been close with the Powell Family. Maybe you can ask someone you know
out after dinner and we can pay extra to secure the Panax before the auction,” Sandra suggested.
“Well, it might not be that easy,” Leonard said thoughtfully.
The Powell Family already advertised that they would be selling the Panax and if they sold it ahead of
the
auction, it might put a dent in their reputation and the Powell Family would never agree to it.
It was something that could not be achieved even if the leader of the Hines Family requested it, not to
mention Leonard, who was merely an insignificant member of his family.
Sandra underestimated the difficulty of the request.
“Mister Hines, I know that it’s going to be difficult. Don’t worry, just do your best. Cynthion Group will
work with you whether or not you succeed,” Leon said sincerely, knowing that he could not ask Leonard
to make an effort without anything in return.
Since it was only a matter of time for Cynthion Group to expand, it would not be an issue to choose the
Hines Family as a partner. If Leonard failed to obtain the Panax ahead of time, Leon would be left to
fight for it in
the auction.
“Yeah, sure. I’ll try my best,” Leonard nodded while snorting at the idea in his mind.
‘Cynthia has taken the Panax as a bargaining chip and I don’t think she will work with me if I fail to

said!‘
What Leonard did not know was that Leon meant every word he said.
Afterward, the restaurant began to serve the dishes, and soon the table was filled with delicacies from
around
the world.
“Miss Shear, Mister Wolf, as your host, I would like to propose a toast to your visit here in Seacove
City.”
Leonard raised his glass with a cheerful smile.
Leon was slightly taken by surprise. Leonard looked down on him throughout the day and it seemed
odd that he could suddenly propose a toast to Leon. However, seeing how Leonard meant well, Leon
saw no reason in refusing it.
