Chapter 5689
The Nine-Eyed Beads had significant meaning that had already surpassed their value. If the One-Eyed Bead was snapped in half, history would be broken.
The sacred treasure would be lost forever.
Harvey was simply insane for suggesting something like that!
Stefan appeared nonchalant at first, but…
“What did you say?!” he exclaimed, springing out of his seat.
“I said, I’m snapping it in half to protect myself.” Harvey smiled casually. “1.3 billion dollars to protect me from a disaster that would cost me ten times that amount… That seems worth it, no?”
Harvey twirled the One-Eyed Bead around.
Many stood up and started to pant. Even without Harvey doing anything, everything would be finished if the bead dropped to the ground!
‘He’s insane! He’s definitely insane!
‘Stefan has no morals, but Harvey’s on a different level!
‘By doing this, he’s about to go against everyone!’
Miley couldn’t help but stand, her face cold.
“Is this man insane, Aria?! He wants to snap the bead in half? How does he think of something like that?”
Aria hesitated to speak; she didn’t think Harvey would be this unpredictable.
Only Stefan went weak after hearing Harvey’s words. His entire body froze; he wanted to take the bead from Harvey’s hand, but he was afraid it might drop to the ground as well.
“I wasn’t thinking about this at first, Stefan…”
Harvey narrowed his eyes.
“But you did threaten me.
“Out of all things, I dislike people threatening me the most.
“Rather than letting you rally your people to beat me up… I should just use the bead to protect myself instead.
“If people still decide to come after me…
“Wouldn’t that prove the legends to be fake? If that’s the case, the sects’ reputation would be thrown out the window, right?”
Stefan’s expression changed after hearing Harvey’s words.
‘This bastard’s going to break the bead, and he’s planning to drag the three great temples into the mess!’
According to the ancient texts, the beads’ effect lasted from three to five years.
Along with the fact that the One-Eyed Bead was the first to be created…
It wouldn’t be insane for it to protect the holder for even a decade.
Under such circumstances, even for the sake of the sects, nobody would dare lay a finger on Harvey if he decided to snap the bead in half.
Thinking this, Stefan grew infuriated.
“The beads can protect you, but not forever! The effect only lasts ten years at most!”
“That’s enough, though.”
Harvey smiled.
“Life is short. 1.3 billion dollars to protect me from all harm for a decade… I think it’s worth it.
“Remember to move your forces to me, Stefan. After all, there’d be a lot of people who want me dead. I’ll have to rely on you for your free services soon!”
