Chapter 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 toe up


    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 hade well-prepared.


    Leslie, however, remained calm and continued to y three. One, two...”


    “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 thest 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 thest name


    Synder. Some didn’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 sessfulpletion 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’te out, she didn’t dare to think further. “What’s going on?” Leslie’s voice was


    slightly cold. He nced at her reddened fingertips and stepped in front of her to shield herpletely.


    Aurelia’s heart skipped a beat, and she trembled as she spoke, “He’s a guest of my client. He pressured me to drink red wine,


    which | suspect was drugged. | tried to avoid him, but he chased after me.”


    Upon hearing that, Leslie’s gaze towards the foreign man grew even colder. Unustomed 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 muscr, 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


    fistsbined, and swung it at Leslie. “Fuck off, idiot!” “Mr. Synder, be careful!” Aurelia couldn’t exin 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.


    “You''re fine now.”


    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.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    At the same time, 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 gue? 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?


    Who now?
