Chapter 5193
Harvey York smiled calmly.
“You don’t have a say in that. Are you here to visit? Or are you here to demand an explanation?
“If it’s the former, then we’ll welcome you with open arms.
“But if not, then you better think carefully about your actions.
“I won’t give you special treatment just because you’re the leader’s brother.”
The Great Protector and the others were utterly impressed.
Out of everyone in Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters, he was the only person who would dare talk to Zaid Surrey that way.
Zaid snickered after hearing Harvey’s words.
“There’s no need for that.
“Don’t forget! You have the leader’s badge!
“Your badge holds the same authority as Mr. Layton Surrey himself!
“Simply put, we’re on the same side!
“Not only am I here to visit…
“I’m also here to announce my stance.
“I would like to stand with you and the Gibson family in place of Mr. Layton.”
Everyone froze when they heard those words.
Lance Gibson and the others looked at Zaid with disbelief.
‘He’s not here to demand for an explanation??
‘He’s on our side?!’
‘Zaid himself?!’
‘Does this mean that Mr. Layton is too?”
Harvey squinted and gestured at Zaid before strolling into the garden.
Zaid smiled and followed along, looking at the fish while standing in the corridor.
Rachel Hardy and the others hustled the crowd away. No matter what was going to happen, it would not be appropriate for anyone to overhear the conversation.
Then, someone brought Harvey and Zaid some tea.
Harvey took a few sips before smiling faintly.
“Is Mr. Layton planning to mediate the situation?”
“He’s always been a fair and just man,” replied Zaid with a smile.
“That said, he temporarily let the elder group handle Heaven’s Gate’s affairs while perfecting his martial arts.
“He didn’t think that the Lowe family and the Bowie family would abuse their authority like that!
“A lot of good people also had been exploited by them!
“Even someone like Quill Gibson suffered at their hands!
“Mr. Layton knows about all this!
“But since he let go of his authority, the Lowe family and the Bowie family have a significant advantage!
“Mr. Layton’s been planning to make a drastic move, but he never found a chance…
“Now that you showed up, this is a great opportunity!
“Mr. Layton’s hoping to work with you to deal with the bad apples from Heaven’s Gate once and for all!
“As for the leader’s badge, you can keep it if you like.
“It’d have the same effect whether in your hands or someone else’s.”
Zaid’s simple words meant endless benefits for Harvey.
Zaid’s intentions were clear. If Harvey decided to cooperate, he and his people would be backed up by Heaven’s Gate for the rest of their lives.
“As expected from the leader to know what’s best for him!
Harvey smiled.
“That said, what do you expect from me in return?
“Don’t tell me that you’re not expecting anything.
“I only believe in interests and not making friends.”
