"Mr. Santos?"
Leonard was a little dazed, looking at the men in black who were saluting him.
He thought, 'My family has always been poor, and I'm just a nobody. Why did they greet me so politely? Did they mistake me for someone else?'
And at this moment, the leading middle-aged man straightened up and strode toward Leonard.
"My name is Rex Foster. Mr. Clarkson asked me to meet you, Mr. Santos."
"Mr. Clarkson?
"Do you mean Ibrahim Clarkson?"
Leonard's eyes widened immediately.
Ibrahim was the one who taught him martial arts, but Leonard only knew his first name.
"Mr. Santos, please get in the car. I'll tell you the detail on the way."
"Okay."
Since Ibrahim had arranged for him, Leonard would certainly follow his plan.
However, he was wondering who Ibrahim really was.
Leonard got into the car, and the whole convoy turned around and drove away.
On the other side, Arlene, who had just finished her duties, walked out of the prison.
She looked at the leaving convoy admiringly.
"I wonder which big shot was released today. This convoy is incredible."
Arlene was a general, so she could tell these cars had undergone the most professional military modifications.
They were not even inferior to the special vehicles of those bigwigs in the army.
In the car, Leonard sat in the back seat. Rex sat in the passenger seat, turning back while talking to Leonard respectfully.
"Mr. Clarkson knew you were coming back to Newden City, so he arranged everything in advance.
"He ordered me and others to stay here and let us obey your order."
"Where is Ibrahim? I want to see him."
Leonard said.
Rex shook his head.
"Mr. Clarkson still has some things to do. He will come to see you when everything is done.
"Besides, Mr. Clarkson asked me to give you this."
Rex handed a photo to Leonard.
It was a photo of a pretty girl with an address written on the back.
This girl was Leonard's ex-girlfriend, and he heard that she had married the man who had harassed her.
Leonard smiled sarcastically.
He held the photo and crumpled it into a ball, and the mixed feelings flooded his mind.
The trip lasted for an hour.
Finally, they arrived at Newden City.
Rex took Leonard to the downstairs of a building.
"This is the Santos Group. Mr. Clarkson just spent four billion dollars to buy this gift for you. Now, you're the owner of this company."
Rex said proudly.
"Ibrahim is so wealthy."
Leonard was shocked.
He followed Rex into the building and went to the top floor.
The senior executives of the entire company had already been waiting for a long time.
Seeing Leonard walking in front of Rex, everyone was shocked.
They didn't need to ask before knowing Leonard's identity.
However, they didn't expect the boss of the company to be so young.
The next second, the senior executives of Santos Group all came forward to shake hands with Leonard.
Leonard noticed a young woman with curly blonde hair.
Rex said, "This is the president of Santos Group, Gracia Moreno."
"Hello, Mr. Santos."
Gracia stretched out her hand.
Her smile was so sweet and charming that Leonard lost in a trance for a moment.
Then, he held her hand calmly.
Accompanied by Gracia, Leonard had a general understanding of the primary service of the Santos Group.
After that, he got up and left.
In fact, even if Ibrahim hadn't given him so many gifts, Leonard was still wealthy enough.
There were many financial tycoons in the prison. After learning from them to trade in stocks, Leonard made a lot of money, about millions of dollars in total.
When leaving, Rex handed a gift box to Leonard.
"Mr. Santos, this is the coffee I bought per your request. It is definitely the best."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
Leonard patted Rex on the shoulder.
The coffee was prepared for Leonard's aunt. After his parents passed away, his aunt was his only relative.
Over the years, Leonard's aunt had often visited him. And now, after being released from prison, the first thing Leonard wanted to do was to repay his aunt's kindness.
"Mr. Santos, are you sure you don't need me to take you there?" Rex couldn't help asking.
"No. I'll call you if I need anything."
