Novel Harvey York’s Rise To Power Chapter 5195

Chapter 5195

Zaid Surrey spoke, smiling faintly.

Now that he has shown his true colors, he has become extremely straightforward.

Harvey York grinned back at Zaid.

“Are you threatening me?”

Zaid took a sip of his tea.

“You’ve got the wrong idea! Why would I do that?

“This is just a friendly reminder!

“After all, I do hope to work together with you.

“I’ve disdained the Lowe family and the Bowie family for the longest time anyway.”

Harvey casually threw his cup to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

Zaid’s eyes twitched and he squinted at Harvey. He had no idea how Harvey was going to choose.

“If you’re threatening me, then that means you can’t prove your innocence.

“And if that’s the case, then it means that Layton’s also involved.

“And since that seems to be it, I’ll have you send word to him for the sake of your kindness.

“He won’t get the technique. After all, it’d be useless to him even if he does have it.”

Zaid froze.

“What do you mean? If Mr. Layton gets the technique, he will improve so much to the point where Heaven’s Gate will be pushed to greater heights!”

Harvey did not show any emotion.

“A dead man won’t have any uses for the technique.

“If he’s involved in Quill’s death, then he’d be another body under Quill’s coffin.”

Zaid was stunned.

“Are you insane?! How dare you say something like that in Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters?!”

Harvey could no longer be bothered to look at Zaid.

“Come! Send this man away!”

Zaid took a deep breath and forced a smile as he set a name card on the table.

“I know that you’re not being very rational right now. That was the only reason why you said those things.

“That said, I like giving people second chances.

“Here’s a name card with my number on it.

“If you need me, you can call me anytime you want.

“I’m a responsible man. I sincerely hope we’ll work together!”

Then, Zaid turned around and walked off.

Half an hour later, Zaid reached the mountain’s peak at Heaven’s Gate’s headquarters.

There was an ancient temple with crumbling statues surrounding the place.

Then again, the entire place seemed relatively well maintained. It was clear that people had been tidying up the place the whole time.

Zaid sighed when he sat on a futon while he quietly waited.

After a while, a door creaked open.

A seemingly ordinary old man in a robe with an earthy smell came inside.

His hands were also full of vegetables. He naturally went outside to put some of them back.

After putting the vegetables in front of the well, he finally spoke.

“You’re back?”

His voice was not anything special, but it had an undeniable dignity to it.

Anyone who heard that voice would instantly feel like bowing their head and groveling.

This alone showed how extraordinary the man was.

Zaid stood up and gave a slight bow.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Layton. I couldn’t bring back what you wanted.”

Zaid’s eyes instinctively twitched as he knew exactly what was coming.

The man before him was his teacher and the leader of Heaven’s Gate, Layton Surrey.

“Harvey declined?” asked Layton with a curious expression.

“Why?”
