On their way to the main hall, Hugo let Renee lead the path on purpose and slowly retreated to Leon's side.
"Mister Wolf, what's going on? Why are you hiding your true identity?" He whispered.
"Oh, there's something else that I intend to do here, and that means I need to keep my true identity hidden. Mister Morrison, I want you to help me out and not tell anyone who I truly am," Leon explained.
The situation with the Southern Boss was far too complicated for him to explain to Hugo, so he decided to brief through it in a few words.
"Oh, I see. Don't worry. I'll keep my mouth shut." Hugo nodded.
Though he did not know what Leon was up to, he did not pry into Leon's privacy.
After all, Leon represented the Cynthion Group on this trip to the western region to work with the Morrisons. It did not matter if Leon was using his true identity or introducing himself as the vice president of the company. Since Leon did not want his true identity to be known, Hugo saw no issue with keeping his secret.
"Hugo, what are you two whispering about?" Hearing the two of them whispering behind her, Renee turned around in confusion.
"Oh, nothing! Let's go. We shouldn't keep Dad and Grandpa waiting," Hugo said. He and Leon then caught up with Renee and the three headed toward the main hall.
...
Meanwhile, in the main hall, Caleb and Hugo's father, along with a few elders were waiting.
...
The smiles on their faces vanished as they all exchanged confused looks.
Clearly, just like Renee, none of them expected Leon to send a vice president in his place.
This caught them by surprise.
"Grandpa, something urgent happened and Mister Leon couldn't come, so he sent Mister Hugh here to discuss matters about our collaboration," Hugo explained when he spotted the confusion on their faces.
