Chapter 322 Working Together
Leo planned to begin with Zhane, given his closer relationship with the Lennons. By pushing Zhane to be more sincere in the collaboration proposal, Leo aimed to ensure that the offer would be generous. This way, he would not only help Hera gain an advantage but also increase her own income from the deal.
If the collaboration between the Everett and the Avery is established, it would bring mutual benefits and significantly boost their profits. The combined expertise of the world’s top two medical geniuses could potentially lead to groundbreaking cures. This outcome would surely please Hera, and Leo could subtly take credit for being the catalyst behind the successful partnership.
But he also feared that if he helped too openly, Hera might think he was only seeking praise. Yet, if he kept his actions hidden, he would simply return to being her silent protector. ’Well,’ he thought, ’There’s no need to rush things. The crucial part is to help Hera deal with the Lennons and ensure she gets the support she needs.’
[Zhane: You seem to have an insider with access to this level of information. Can you connect me to them?]
[Dave: @Zhane, are you sure you want to trust him? It could be a scheme to undermine you and remove you from the competition.]
[Leo: @Dave, you have a vivid imagination like what I said. If I really want to undermine him, I would have let him and his family be schemed against and he would for sure be busy mitigating the damage to his family’s reputation if this was known to the public, by then, I would have plenty of time to spend my time with my wife and could do the same with all of you. But unfortunately, I don’t have a pea for a brain and was looking at the bigger picture.]
[Dave: Are you calling me pea brain?! ｏ( ><)o]
[Rafael: Well, if the shoe fits. ┐( ˘_˘)┌]
[Luke: I heard about a massive order of cheap herbs on the black market costing millions, with buyers being extremely discreet and secretive. It caught my attention, but I didn’t expect it to be the Lennons targeting the Everetts. Let me help you undermine the Lennons so they’ll lose even more money when the collaboration is canceled.]
