Chapter 5771
“Is that so?”
Harvey shrugged.
“If you don’t actually have it… Then why put so much effort in this situation? Don’t tell me you’re just doing the Great Wall a simple favor. That’s just an excuse, right?
“If not, judging from the Klein family’s intelligence, why would you get involved in the first place?
“Do you think I’d believe you if you tell me that Asher’s the only one behind all this?
“He knows about Evermore; this means that his status in the family is nothing but powerful. If you don’t have a goal, what’s the point of making such a prominent figure take action?”
Harvey casually revealed everything the Klein family had done.
Not only did Preston go completely pale, but Sierra was showing mixed expressions as well.
“More importantly, you decided to let Sierra come to me at such a sensitive time.”
Harvey smiled.
“Your family had already figured out my identity the moment I revealed my broken bead.
“You decided not to let me go… Instead, you waited for everything to die down before sending Sierra to me.
“You try to move me with your actions, but you never could hide your true intentions.
“I have reason to believe that you’re very interested in my One- Eyed Bead.
“To show this much interest to be someone’s cat’s paw can only mean one thing: you must have an important item or lead.
“My guess is that you actually do possess the legendary Nine-Eyed Bead.
“If you have the other bead, why would you make such big moves in the first place?”
Preston’s face hardened.
The profound look in his eyes dissipated, and he fell in deep silence. After a long time, he finally sighed.
“You really are impressive, Sir York. If I’m still playing dumb at this point, then I’d just embarrass myself,” he said.
Harvey casually sipped his tea. “It’s good that you’re being reasonable.”
Preston stared at the sky before pouring Harvey another cup of tea.
“I’ll stop hiding everything, then.
“I called you here to make a deal. If you give me the One-Eyed Bead… You can ask for anything else in return. How does that sound?”
Harvey froze; he didn’t think that Preston would still be so stubborn even after hearing everything he had to say.
‘Looks like the beads hold a large weight to the people of the outskirts after all…’
Thinking about the situation for a moment, Harvey then said calmly, “I can give the bead to you for free. I don’t need anything in return.
“But, are you sure that you can handle the consequences… after taking the bead?
“The Nine Eyed Beads will show the way of everlasting life.
“There are many, many people eyeing the beads.
“The Klein family is the wealthiest family in the outskirts… but that’s about it. How are you going to take responsibility for the consequences after that?”
