Chapter 30 A Favor
Came to here himself?
What did that mean?
Everyone was puzzled and couldn’t understand the implication of Leones‘ words.
Leones picked up the wooden carving again.
“Mr. Bloom,” Gloria was very worried. “Was this wooden carving killed my grandfather?”
“You don’t have to blame yourself,” Leones comforted her softly. “It’s not your fault.”
Then, Leones recounted the poison infused in the wooden carving again.
If Leones remembered correctly, this was already the fifth time he mentioned it.
It was a pity that no one listened, and no one believed it after he said it over and over again.
“If my guess is correct, this person should be the poisoner.”
“He infuses some valuable antiques with a trace of poison. After the rich patrons buy them, they will be eroded and damaged, and there is no cure.
“Then, he will show up as an expert, drive away evil spirits, and save people from the poison to earn a lot of money or connections.”
After hearing this, everyone present couldn’t help but feel creepy.
Bernard said in shock, “The person who harmed people and the person who saved people are the same person!? I really can’t imagine that there are such wicked people in the world!”
Leones said, “Of course. His purpose is only for fame or profit. He will not kill people.”
“It’s just that today, unfortunately, we have Mr. William, who is not good at medicine. He treated the poison as a cold, which completely activated the poison. It was out of control.”
As soon as this statement came out, Philip once again became the target of everyone’s criticism.
Everyone in the Baker family stared at Philip angrily.
Philip lowered his head in shame.
“Don’t blame Mr. William,” Orlando was very reasonable, “I also agreed to the third injection. You can’t blame him.”
“Well… Life and death are destined. That’s fate!”
Under the unknowing situation at that time, even if he did it all over again, Orlando felt that he would continue to choose to trust Philip instead of the young man Leones.
Gloria frowned and said, “That is to say, that person will definitely rush over to coax after getting the news that my grandfather is hospitalized!”
“That’s right,” Leones nodded in agreement. “If I were him, just in case, I would come as soon as possible. It’s best to come here today!”
“Hmph! As long as he dares to come today, I won’t let him leave alive!” Ethan clenched his fist angrily.
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Orlando also completely accepted the fact and decided to spend a good time with his children and grandchildren and enjoy the family’s happiness in the last month of his life.
“Mr. Bloom,” Orlando thanked him again. “Thanks to you, I can live an extra month.”

Chapter 30 A Favor
“I can’t thank you enough for saving my life. The Baker family owes you a huge favor. If you need anything, just ask.”
Leones was waiting for Orlando to say this.
“Recently, I have a favor to ask Mr. Baker,” Leones said.
“Oh?” Orlando replied immediately, “Please tell me. The Baker family will do our best as long as we can.”
“I heard that Mr. Baker used to be in charge of the Ministry of Finance and was in charge of the finance and taxation. Although you have retired now, but still have connections in the Ministry of Finance.”
“So I hope Mr. Baker can do me a favor. Ask the Ministry of Finance to investigate the tax issues of the Bloom Group. It must be dealt with strictly if anything can be found out!”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Baker family was shocked.
Those who didn’t know were very surprised. Leones was one of the Bloom family, so why did he take the lead in checking the tax issues of the Bloom Group?
Was he placing righteousness above his family loyalty?
And those who knew that Leones had been expelled from the Bloom family felt that Leones was retaljáting against the Bloom family for revenge.
However, Gloria quickly realized. She said, “Mr. Bloom, you want to use this method to mess up the Bloom family and then take it down at its weakness!”
“That’s right!” Leones said firmly, “Although I was expelled from the family, I will still take back what should be mine!”
For a giant like the Bloom family, it would be very difficult for outsiders to crack them from the outside.
However, Leones‘ opportunity would come once there were internal hidden dangers, such as tax inspections and company turmoil.
Gloria looked at Leones in shock. She didn’t expect Leones‘ plans to be so big that he wanted to seize power from the Bloom family!
“For this matter, I need Mr. Baker’s favor!” Leones asked again.
“Hmm…” Orlando felt that this matter was a bit tricky.
For one thing, the Bloom family was now one of the top ten families, and the Baker family and the Bloom family had a lot of business contacts. Was it wise to rashly make an enemy of it?
Furthermore, Orlando had been away from the Ministry for many years and was unwilling to use the connections left behind.
Although Leones saved Orlando’s life, he now wanted Orlando to turn against the Bloom family and, at the same time, use the valuable upper–level connections.
Was it worthwhile to do all this for Leones?
Due to the extensive involvement, Orlando, as the head of the family, had to weigh it over and over again.
“Mr. Baker, you don’t have to make a decision now. You can take your time and think about it,” Leones stood up and said before leaving.
“Okay,” Orlando hurriedly cued his granddaughter, “Gloria, walk Mr. Bloom out for me.”

Chapter 30 A Favor
After Leones left the ward, Darius, Gloria, and Philip followed.
“Mr. Bloom!” Gloria couldn’t help asking again, “Is it true that my grandpa only has one month of life? There is really no other way?”
“No,” Leones shook his head lightly, unwilling to mention that slim hope.
“No, you are lying!” Gloria said again, “There was a trace of hesitation in your eyes just now. Did you hide something else from us?
“Is there another way to save my grandpa? Please, tell me!”
Seeing this, Darius echoed, “Hero, you are so powerful. There should be something you can do, right?”
“Yes, Master!” Philip also said, “You are the successor of Sage Killer Physician!”
Facing the entanglement of everyone, Leones could only give up and say, “Yes, there is another way. But…”
“That’s almost impossible!”
Leones came to the reception desk and wrote down a prescription.
“If you can follow this prescription and find all the ingredients on it, you can prolong your grandfather’s life for one year.”
