Chapter 5170
While everyone was still in shock, a thought came to mind.
The Lowe family most likely didn’t have the mental cultivation technique. Quill must’ve been framed. If not, why would Calvin give in?
Harvey grabbed the check, and looked at the numbers with a profound expression.
“Take the money and leave, Harvey!” Calvin yelled.
“Have a good sleep and forget about everything that happened here.
“I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow and fulfill the rest of the conditions by then.
“Let me tell you something else!
“I gave you all this not because I’m scared!
“Since the three prominent figures are standing with you…
“And since you have the leader’s badge…
“I believe that I should be in your good graces.
“That way, Heaven’s Gate’s strength wouldn’t be wasted.
“You better think this through!
“This is a sacred martial arts training ground, after all!
“Even if the top ten families, the five hidden families, and the four cornerstones are here, they’d have to listen to us!
“So, you should stop while you’re still ahead.
“If not, you’ll end up horribly!”
After giving Harvey some benefits and giving out a few threats, Calvin started to feel confident again. He believed he had already given Harvey enough respect.
As for the check, the position of the outer elder, and the Gibson family’s properties…
He naturally wouldn’t be able to give such things.
He planned to deal with the situation at hand before getting his men to kill Harvey the next day.
“You’re treating me to a meal?” Harvey asked while holding his cup.
“How generous. Are you sure this isn’t just an assassination attempt?
“You’re not confident enough to deal with me right now, so you need a day to prepare your men, right?”
Calvin froze after getting exposed; he didn’t think that Harvey would be so hard to deal with.
Emory couldn’t hold herself back any longer.
“Enough nonsense, Harvey!” she snarled.
“Young Master Calvin’s words are worth gold! Why would he lie to you?
“If you’re too scared to take all those benefits, then just take the money and leave!
“The check alone is enough for you to eat for three different lives!”
Harvey chuckled. “And if I decline?”
“Decline?” Emory scoffed.
“What’s the point?
“You think your so-called evidence is enough to reclaim justice from Heaven’s Gate?
“Even if you have the support of the three prominent figures…
“Don’t forget! The elder group is in charge here!
“Currently, the Lowe family and the Bowie family have three elders each in the elder group!
“Going against us would mean going against the elder group!
“Doing that would mean opposing the entirety of Heaven’s Gate!
“Do you think you can do whatever you please just because you have the badge?
“Don’t be naive!
“The badge doesn’t have a mind of its own!
“People are different!”
The guests instinctively nodded.
Emory was right.
Harvey would never be able to deter six elders from both the Lowe family and the Bowie family with just a flat piece of steel!
