Whitley Leopold fell ill.

Overnight, the Leopold Family lost its pillar, instantly plunging into chaos.

No one knew what exactly had happened, as the Old Master of Leopold Family, who had been full of vigor just the day before, was now bedridden and incoherent.

And those members of the Leopold Family who had been in his company were all ill in bed, including his personal bodyguard, Malcolm Percival, who was admitted to the hospital as well.

There were rumors that the Old Master of Leopold Family encountered some strange incident, but no one was willing to speak of it. Those who went with him kept tight-lipped, not uttering a word about the trip.

Seeing the state of the Leopold Family, Brayden Leopold naturally began to have ambitious thoughts.

Previously, under the instigation of Julius Reed, Black Dog had already started inciting Brayden Leopold to step forward and fight for power, but as a young man of some talent, Brayden naturally wasn’t willing to take risks rashly.

It wasn’t until he visited Whitley Leopold personally that Brayden let go of his worries. It seemed that the Family Head was indeed severely ill. At least for now, he was somewhat muddled and completely unable to make decisions on family affairs.

“Boss, I’ve arranged a meeting for you tonight with someone who could help you achieve great things!”

After leaving the most lavish Azure Water Villa of the Leopold Family, Black Dog whispered into Brayden Leopold’s ear.

Within the Leopold Family villa, the most expensive and secure one was this Azure Water Villa, which also was the residence where Whitlely Leopold had spent the longest time.

In a year’s time, Whitley Leopold would live there for nearly half the year.

Now that he was seriously ill, it was naturally the best choice for his recovery.

“Black Dog, when did you get in touch with this person for me? Such a big matter can’t be leaked. If it gets out, all my efforts will have been in vain! If I get kicked out, you’ll be the first I take down with me!”

Brayden Leopold frowned upon hearing this, feeling somewhat displeased in his heart.

Ever since Atlas Leopold’s downfall, and Black Dog choosing to join his side, things had indeed been handled beautifully. After all, Black Dog had been a capable right-hand man to Brayden in the past.

But as for loyalty, Brayden still had some concerns.

After all, Black Dog wasn’t always by his side. Although Brayden had begun to entrust him with many confidential matters, his trust in Black Dog never reached a hundred percent.

Now that Whitley Leopold had fallen, the biggest obstacle in front of Brayden was eliminated, presenting a godsent opportunity. If at this time, news of his intent to seize power got out, it would certainly provoke collective rejections within the Leopold Family.

Not only would he lose his current status, he would also face the family’s punishment!

Black Dog, making contact with important people outside without consulting him, carried the risk of information leakage to a certain extent.

“Please rest assured, young master! Black Dog operates with discretion. After all, if I want to be rich and powerful, it’s all thanks to you, young master. The reason I made a decision without your agreement is because opportunity knocks but once. If missed and others collaborate against you, it would be a huge loss for you, young master!”

Black Dog explained respectfully, showing no dissatisfaction from Brayden Leopold’s reprimand.

Having seen this, Brayden felt much more at ease. After all, it’s hard to hit a smiling face, and even though Black Dog was Atlas Leopold’s confidant, after coming over to his side, he had shown extreme loyalty and handled things with efficiency and decisiveness.

“Who exactly is it!”

Checking there were no onlookers, he quietly inquired.

Since Black Dog was being so secretive, he had become quite interested in this person of legend.

Black Dog was not someone who acted recklessly. Having been his employee for so long, this was the first time he had taken the initiative and acted without Brayden’s knowledge.

“If the young master trusts me, there’s no need to ask. Just follow me, and you’ll understand when we get there. If you don’t trust me, then let’s forget about it.”

Black Dog replied with a simple smile.

This response surprised Brayden even more. Usually, Black Dog thought everything through for his benefit, shouldering all the blame and leaving all credit to Brayden himself.

Today’s conversation was somewhat different from usual, extremely thought-provoking.

“Black Dog, what do you mean by this?”

Brayden Leopold stood in front of Black Dog, staring straight into his eyes, “Is there something you can’t say? Stop being so mysterious. Who is it, exactly?”

“Young Master, if I told you, you definitely wouldn’t go! But this person is crucial, Black Dog means no harm, I just don’t want you to miss out on the best opportunity because of a moment of anger!”

Black Dog still hadn’t disclosed who that person was. Instead, he reminded him, “Now that the Old Master is seriously ill, there certainly isn’t a shortage of people with active minds. Just as you, Young Master, who doesn’t want to fight for power and become the new Family Head of the Leopold Family? If you’re half a step too late, you might live to regret it!”

“Still not saying?”

Brayden Leopold’s face immediately darkened. Indeed, Black Dog was right, but he still didn’t want to take the risk. He had never fully trusted Black Dog.

If Black Dog was really a spy planted by others, specifically by Atlas Leopold with premeditated intentions to betray him, that would be a loss not worth the risk.

“Young Master, I still say the same thing! You will definitely regret it if you don’t go. If you do, great achievements can be made!”

Black Dog stubbornly insisted.

“Come in!”

At Brayden Leopold’s command, the bodyguards behind him immediately rushed forward.

“Take him down!”

Brayden Leopold looked coldly at Black Dog, “Use harsh interrogation tactics, pry his mouth open!”

“Yes!”

The bodyguards immediately apprehended Black Dog and dragged him to a van.

“If I find out you’ve betrayed me,”

Brayden Leopold looked at Black Dog coldly, “I’ll make you regret ever coming into this world!”

“Young Master, all I want is to enjoy riches and honor by your side, but it seems I, Black Dog, have misjudged you! Who would have thought you are someone who fears for his life, with such little courage how can you fight for the Leopold Family? A century-old foundation is not so easily uprooted!”

Black Dog looked back coldly at Brayden Leopold, as if he had long been prepared mentally.

“Give me an answer by tonight! Remember, don’t kill him, I’m keeping him around for a reason,”

Brayden Leopold whispered to his employees, then got into his Range Rover and disappeared in front of the Azure Water Villa.

Meanwhile, at the Pearl on the Water, Julius Reed was leisurely savoring the tea served up by Miguel Abbott.

“Mr. Reed, this tea was quite expensive, truly a top-grade product!”

Miguel Abbott poured tea for Julius Reed with a smile, a triumphant look on his face, “I can’t guarantee anything else, but even the generational wealthy Leopold Family might not have tasted it more than a few times!”

This canister of tea leaves was something he had spent tens of millions to obtain from a tea merchant, and even that price was after calling in a favor to clinch the deal.

He had truly splurged.

“It doesn’t smell all that great! Let me taste it,”

Julius Reed, looking at the tea cup in his hand, shook his head and said, “Tea leaves, how much could they be worth? In the past, this stuff was everywhere, many people had access to it and didn’t find it particularly delicious! But now, you’ve inflated its value, turning a drink into a treasure!”

After a light sniff, Julius Reed set the tea cup back on the table, “In the past, I’d have used this tea to soak my feet!”
