From A Prisoner To A Big Short’s Inheritor

Chapter 153
“Martial arts is not the only standard in this world. Otherwise, there would not be so many plutocrats, and martial artists would
rule the world. There are too many forces in the world that can pose a threat to martial artists, and the Morris family definitely has
such power.”
Arlene persuaded him earnestly.
She was saying it for Leonard’s good.
She was born into an aristocratic family, so she naturally understood what kind of confidence these aristocratic families had.
It was just that she really didn’t understand Leonard well.
But Leonard smiled slightly.
“I don’t care what kind of background the Morris family has. Let alone escape back to Imperial City, I will kill that father and son
even if I need to go to hell.
“Three days later would be the death of the Morris father and son.”
Arlene’s eyes widened big when she heard this.
She had said so much, but all her words had been wasted.
“Leonard, we are schoolmates, and I will not harm you. I understand your strength. It is indeed terrifying, but this does not mean
you can do whatever you want.
“It’s never too late for a man to take revenge. It’s impossible for the Morris family to stay in Imperial City forever and never come
out, so why bother to kill them now?
“If you go to Imperial City now, you will give what Tyler wants. It will only make your loved ones grief and your enemies happy.
Leonard, listen to me...”
Arlene was really anxious.
“The Morris family must die. Arlene, you don’t need to say more.” Leonard interrupted Arlene.

“Well!” Arlene let out a long sigh.
She didn’t expect that Leonard was so headstrong that he couldn’t listen to persuasion at all.
If he went to the Morris family now, didn’t that mean he was going to get himself killed?
Arlene sat down on the sofa angrily.
After sitting there for more than ten minutes, when the anger subsided a little, she couldn’t help but take out the phone.
“Hey, Danny, where are you now? I want to ask you to help me save a stubborn friend.”
A strong voice came from the phone. “You called in person. How could I not save him? But can I meet this guy first?”
Parasoly.
Rex drove to the Rodgers Villa.
After revealing his identity, he walked directly into the Rodgers Villa.
In the hall at the moment.
Although Marianna was sitting there, she looked outside from time to time, looking forward to the arrival of that figure.
Next to her were Melanie and Jason. The mother and son had cold faces..
They already knew about Philip’s promise to Marianna, so certainly, they were not happy about it.
However, Philip had absolute authority within the Rodgers family, and they did not dare to oppose his decision.
“He’s coming.” Someone in the hall shouted.
Everyone’s eyes were looking towards the door.
They all frowned when they saw Rex walking in.
Because they knew that Leonard was a young man in his twenties, and the person in front of them was almost forty years old.
Melanie and Jason showed doubts.

Marianna even blurted out. “Where is Leonard?”
Rex clasped his fists and said loudly, “Mr. Santos encountered some emergencies in Newden, so he cannot come today. He
specially asked me to give Mr. Rodgers a gift.”
With that said, he took out the box of Elixir of Longevity.
A servant immediately took it and handed it to Philip.
At this moment, Philip was very unhappy.
He felt pity for his granddaughter, so he gave Leonard a chance. Unexpectedly, the other party dared to stand him up.
Melanie, next to him, even snorted coldly. “Leonard is such a coward. When Mr. Rodgers called him, he didn’t even dare to show
his face.”
After hearing Melanie’s words, Philip couldn’t help but wonder. “How is that so?”
Melanie immediately pointed to Jason’s plastered hand.
“Jason’s hand was hurt by Leonard. He was extremely arrogant in Newden. Today, sir, you summoned him to come. If he didn’t
come, he must be afraid that our Rodgers family would set a trap to deal with him. The so–called emergency? It’s just a made–
up excuse.”
“Is that true?” Philip couldn’t help but look at his grandson.
Jason nodded repeatedly.
“Of course, it’s true. Fortunately, that kid didn’t come. If he did, I’d make sure he couldn’t leave without some serious injury.”
Hearing this, Philip couldn’t help but slap the table.
“How can such a man without guts, who dared not even enter the Rodgers Villa’s door, be worthy of marrying my
granddaughter?
“Marianna, you really made a mistake this time.”
Hearing this, Marianna suddenly became anxious.

“Grandpa Philip, that’s not the case. Leonard is not such a person...”
“Shut up. You are still defending that coward at this time.” Melanie immediately scolded loudly.
“Mr. Santos dares to break into the most dangerous places. How can he be afraid of you, merely the Rodgers family? You really
gauge the heart of a gentleman with your own mean measure.” Rex couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke loudly.
“You are so bold!”
“Presumptuous!”
“Who are you calling the mean heart?”
All the Rodgers family members were instantly angered.
In their eyes, Rex was just a servant, yet he dared to speak rudely here.
Philip’s face was so dark that he looked horrible.
Faced with the accusations from everyone in the Rodgers family, Rex stood tall and held his head high, showing no signs of
timidity.
As a member of the Galen Group, he certainly would not take the Rodgers family seriously.
But considering the complicated relationship between the Rodgers family and Leonard, he couldn’t say anything harsh.
He snorted coldly. “The gift has been delivered, so I will take my leave.”
After saying that, he turned to leave.
“Wait a second.” At this moment, Philip’s voice sounded.
“Mr. Rodgers, do you have anything else to say?” Rex said coldly.
“Take your gift with you. I don’t like this thing.”
With that said, Philip directly grabbed the box and threw it at Rex’s feet.
The box fell to the ground and cracked open, revealing the Elixir of Longevity inside.

Rex’s eyes suddenly turned cold.
Leonard’s gift was treated like this, which made him feel angry.
However, the gift belonged to Leonard, so certainly, it couldn’t be left here.
He bent down to pick up the Elixir of Longevity and said with an angry voice, “This is the Elixir of Longevity, which can
extend a person’s life by ten to thirty years. Mr. Santos learned that you were injured and would not live long, so he let me send
you the Elixir of Longevity, but you don’t recognize the treasure. It’s fine as long as you don’t regret it in the future.”
“Heh! It’s ridiculous that you call this black thing a treasure. Does Leonard really think that everyone in my Rodgers family is a
fool?” Before Philip could say anything, Melanie couldn’t help but sarcastically said.
The people in the Rodgers family next to her nodded.
They thought the box contained something like a jewel or diamond, but it turned out to be something dark.
“What would extend a person’s life span by ten to thirty years? What a lie. How can there be such a treasure in the world?”
Philip was so angry that his chest heaved.
He felt that Rex’s words just now were clearly mocking that he would not live long.
He pointed outside and said, “Get lost. You are not welcome in our Rodgers family.”
“Hmph! Farewell!” Rex rolled up his sleeves, turned around, and left.
“Wait, wait a minute, there must be a misunderstanding here...”
Marianna couldn’t help but chase him out.
But as soon as she took two steps, she was slapped in the face by Philip.
“Snapped!”
“Marianna, you are so obsessed. Do you want to make me angry to death?
“Now, I order you not to see Leonard again from now on. And in one month, you will officially hold a wedding with Zavier.

“You are not allowed to step out of the Rodgers Villa within this month.”
Hearing this, Marianna suddenly had despair raised in her eyes.
She knew there was really no room for change.
Phillip had always been true to his word. This time, he changed his mind for her, which was the first time ever. There was
absolutely no way he would do it again.
On the other side, Rex, who was walking outside, could not help but slightly pause when he heard the sound coming from inside
and then stepped outside again.
