Zaid Surrey spoke, smiling faintly.
Now that he had shown his true colors, he became very straightforward.
Harvey York grinned at Zaid.
“Are you threatening me?”
Zaid took a sip of his tea.
“You thought wrong! Why should I do that?
“This is just a friendly reminder!
“In any case, I hope to work with you.
“After all, I looked down on the Lowe family and the Bowie family a long time ago.”
Harvey casually threw his cup onto the ground, shattering it into several pieces.
Zaid’s eyes twitched and he narrowed his eyes at Harvey. He didn’t know how Harvey would choose.
“If you threaten me, then it means you cannot prove your innocence.
“And if that’s the case, then Layton is also involved.
“And since it seems like that, I’ll have you message him for your own good.
“He won’t get the technique. Besides, it would be useless to him even if he had it.”
Zaid froze.
“What do you mean? If Mr. Layton obtains that technique, he will progress rapidly to the point that
Heaven’s Gate will be pushed to greater heights!”
Harvey didn’t show any emotion.
“A dead person would have no use for the technique.
“If he was involved in Quill’s death, then he will be another corpse under Quill’s coffin.”
Zaid was stunned.
“Are you crazy?! How dare you say such things at the Heaven’s Gate headquarters?!”
Harvey couldn’t look at Zaid anymore.
“Come on! Send this guy away!”
Zaid took a deep breath and forced a smile as he placed a business card on the table.
“I know that you are not very rational now. That’s the only reason why you say those things.
“Even so, I like giving people second chances.
“This is a business card with my phone number.
“If you need me, you can contact me anytime you want.
“I am a responsible person. I really hope we can work together!”
Then, Zaid turned and walked away.

Half an hour later, Zaid arrived at the top of the mountain at the Heaven’s Gate headquarters. There is an ancient temple with crumbling statues surrounding the place.
Then again, the whole place seemed relatively well maintained. It was clear that people had been tidying up the place the entire time.
Zaid sighed as he sat on the bed waiting quietly.
After a while, a door creaked open.
An ordinary-looking old man in old robes walked in.
His hands are also full of vegetables. He naturally went outside to put some of them down.
After placing the vegetables in front of the well, he finally spoke.
“You’re back?”
His voice wasn’t anything special, but it had an undeniable authority.
Anyone who heard that voice would immediately feel like lowering their head and humbling themselves.
This alone showed how extraordinary the man was.
Zaid stood up and bowed his body.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Layton. I can’t get what you want.”
Zaid’s eyes instinctively twitched because he knew exactly what was going to happen.
The man before him was his teacher and the leader of Heaven’s Gate, Layton Surrey.
“Harvey refuses?” Layton asked with a curious expression. “Why?”
