Chapter 372 A Conference


    Chapter 372 A Conference


    Slumber seemed to evade Lydia that night.


    What Emilia said to her still shocked her deeply. Whenever she recalled it, she found it hard to chill


    herself.


    Staring at the sleeping girl, Lydia suddenly stood up and said to Leo, “Honey, was I making a mistake?”


    Feeling sorry for her, he shook his head, “None of you made any mistake. But I did.”


    If it weren''t because of his sudden disappearance for five years, Lydia should have lived a happy life


    with Emilia instead of being bullied.


    But he had never regretted making the choice to join the army, from which he gained the power to


    protect his family and to win respect from Lydia.


    Now he was known as the God of War, under the shield of whom nobody dared to do anything


    aggressive to his wife and kid.


    “Are you sure we are gonna train her how to fight?” Lydia was rather upset as she imagined the future


    that Emilia would be trained to be a warrior.


    But Leo smiled, “But I think it sounds good.”


    Lydia frowned and was about to refute. But Leo then added, “I understand your worry. You are afraid


    what if she gets herself hurt or bleeding. And she


    will no more act like a girl, right?”


    Lydia showed her silence as the opinion of yes.


    But Leo shook his head again, “Emilia has been different from those peers. She is way much more


    sensible. And her mental age should be between 13


    to 14, I suppose.”


    Hearing that, Lydia started to considerate about it seriously.


    That was right. The way Emilia talked and behaved didn’t match her age.


    “That means she has been determined already.”


    Leo continued seriously, “A warrior should be trained since childhood. I just checked her body. And


    guess what I have found out.”


    “What?” Lydia was curious.


    “She''s incredibly gifted. If trained well from now on, she would be likely to be more powerful than me in


    the future.” Leo replied seriously.


    Stunned, Lydia couldn''t believe what she just heard.


    More powerful than Leo?


    She had seen how Leo fought. No one could stand for more than a second once he attacked. But he


    just imed that Emilia would be more powerful


    than him?


    Even a simple assumption of that seemed to strike her understanding with great disbelief.


    “So, why don’t we have a try? She''s still young enough to try everything. If it then turns out that it’s not


    the case, she still has time to try something


    else.”


    Lydia was now convinced. If Leo was right about his assumption, there would be another God of War in


    the future. When the Royal Family wanna n


    anything vicious again, this fact would be an effective reminder to push them into a sensible choice


    If they still appeared to be stubborn enough to attack, the doom would expect them.


    Leo then added, “As for what will happen next, don’t worry. I got her back. She can do whatever she


    wants. And that’s it.”


    While speaking, he seemed to have foreseen a bright future.


    There was only one thing sustaining everything he had at this moment—his power.


    If Emilia was capable enough to pass on the power, she would definitely reach the top one day. If that


    day came, she could


    then inherit everything from Leo.


    After all, anyone with sanity would never offend a prime warrior. No matter how borated a


    conspiracy could be, the one with


    the greatest power would still smash it.


    “Alright then.” Convinced, Lydia finally agreed.


    But out of the concern to retrieve some respect, she pretended to huff, “Alright, I will leave her to you.


    It’s all on you. I know


    nothing about that fighting stuff.”


    “Okay.” Leo nodded lightly. He believed Emilia would not only grow to be a talented businessdy as


    charming as Lydia, but


    also be the top warrior inheriting both the power and the wealth of Leo.


    The next day, he sent Emilia to Nadine’s. While he needed to attend a business conference with Lydia.


    It was about a construction project of L Group on Emerdale River, which would expand to the area of


    Hopkins. So it entailed a


    conference for negotiation with the Top Three families in Hopkins.

    Actually, Lydia had refused hispany for more than once. She should be capable enough to settle


    the negotiation, she


    supposed.


    But Leo was aware that there was a storm brewing under the seemingly peaceful surface in Hopkins.


    So he insisted to go with


    her.


    Lydia had to agree.


    The conference was held in a deluxe office building. While Lydia was about to enter with Leo, they


    happened to see someone


    familiar approaching afar.


    It was actually Sophia.


    Though she had already known the marriage between them, she still uttered with a tone of mockery,


    “Hey, Mr. Cohen, what


    brought you here?”


    Lydia frowned, “He’s my husband. He has the right toe with me.”


    Sophia sneered, “That’ right. He’s your husband. But listen, you are here for business instead of


    dating.”


    “You got a problem with me bringing him here? Remember, I am the one in charge.” Lydia was


    obviously irritated because of


    her provocation. But then she looked at Leo apologetically, “Sorry, honey, I forgot telling you Mrs.


    Walsh is on the list of


    attendance.”


    “She has been working to explore the market of Hopkins. So she has also been well acquainted with


    those local privileged


    family here. Thanks to her, we managed to bring those families together for the negotiation.”


    “It’s okay.” Leo smiled. But then he cast a grim look at Sophia.


    Though there were some conflicts happening between him and Sophia, from his perspective, he only


    deemed her a nobody.


    However, Sophia had been taking steps to challenge him again and again.


    The way she patronized him was being too conspicuous to be ignored.


    “Come on, let’s go.” Lydia grabbed his arm to enter. But Sophia took a step forward to break him away


    from Lydia.


    “Miss Henderson is weed. But not him!” said Sophia coldly with her finger pointing at Leo.


    Hearing that, Leo was exasperated with bloodthirsty burning in his eyes. Meanwhile, Lydia also felt


    greatly offended, “Hey,


    watch yournguage! He’s my husband. He shall enter with me!”


    Sophia sneered and stated her reason confidently, “I have invited the most privileged families in


    Hopkins, all of whom showed


    great interest in our project. But there’s something needed to be noticed—they want to talk to no one


    else but me and Miss


    Henderson.”


    “Who said that? That’s unreasonable!” Lydia was pissed while ring at her.


    But Sophia continued casually, “Well, I don’t know who asked for it. But there’s one thing I am sure


    about—Miss Henderson, if


    you keep them waiting for a few more minutes, I am afraid they will run out of patience.”


    Looking at her condescending expression, Lydia suddenly regretted making the decision to make her in


    charge of the Hopkin’s


    market. Actually, Lydia did so as a kind of exile to send her away from the group though in the name of


    expanding another


    market. But she had never expected that it turned out to be an opportunity for Sophia.


    At this moment, Leo huffed to ask, “So Mrs. Walsh, could you please tell me the list of guests invited.”


    Hearing that, Sophia appeared to be prouder of herself, “the Dawson familyEthe Mills family the


    Bradley family...”


    But actually, Leo had heard of none of them.


    At the end, Sophia cast him a disdainful look, “Whatever. They are all the most privileged families in


    Hopkins. Especially, the Dawson family the Mills family the Bradley family, who are all the affiliates of


    the one at the top—the Watts! Well, I kinda understand you may know nothing about that, I suppose.”
