Zaid Surrey frowned.


    “He said that he would refuse to cooperate with you if you were involved in Quill Gibson''s death!


    “He will also impart the technique as soon as we can prove your innocence!


    “Otherwise… it''s useless even if you have the technique.”

    Zaid told Layton Surrey everything Harvey York said clearly, ensuring that he was not misunderstood.


    "What does it mean?"


    Layton didn''t understand either.


    Zaid stuttered.


    “He said… He said…”


    "What? Just say it."


    Zaid swallowed nervously.


    “He said… that a dead person wouldn''t use that technique.”


    Layton fell silent and chuckled.


    “As expected of a young man like him. He even asked me this time…”


    Layton red.


    He had been in a high position for a long time. He had lived a rxed life but would not allow others to


    question his authority either!


    “Even if I admit that I was involved, what can he do?


    “Working with me to deal with the Lowe family and the Bowie family should be enough to restore justice


    to Quill.


    "Isn''t that a good thing?"


    Zaid froze.


    "You mean we also had a hand in killing Quill?"


    Layton made a face.


    "What are you saying?


    “That bastard, Quill, knew I was isting myself to be one with nature!


    “Not only did he not give me the technique as soon as he had it, he even refused my request!


    “He deserved to die!”


    Zaid stopped for a moment.


    “If that''s the case, why don''t I prepare some evidence to obtain the technique first?”


    Layton chuckled.


    “Did you think Harvey wouldn''t know?


    “He probably won''t even provide the actual technique for that fake evidence.”


    "So what…?"


    Zaid frowned.


    “You don''t understand, do you?”


    Layton folded his arms.


    “I am a martial artist, a God of War, the leader of Heaven''s Gate!


    “Why would you fake evidence just for a technique?


    “If I''m exposed like this…


    “Not only will my reputation bepletely tarnished, but people will even look down on Heaven''s Gate


    for eternity!


    “That way, I will be hated by history itself!


    “This is clearly a trap!


    “Harvey is a cruel person, trying to crush our spirits like this…”


    Zaid froze and gasped for air.


    Harvey wasn''t afraid of Layton falsifying evidence simply because of the chilling effect it would have. All


    the training to be a God of War will not be in vain!


    “So, Harvey really is nning to destroy Heaven''s Gate…” said Zaid.


    Layton smiled.


    “Maybe that''s not the reason.


    “But since Quill died because of Heaven''s Gate...


    “In that case, destroying Heaven''s Gate is most likely the goal.”


    Zaid furrowed his brows.


    "So you mean...


    “You left your business card with him, didn''t you?


    “Give him half a day.


    “If we don''t hear from him, we''ll work with the Lowe family and the Bowie family instead.


    “Tell them that Calvin Lowe will be the next leader of Heaven''s Gate if they bring me mental cultivation


    techniques!


    “They can also be my students if they want!


    “I''m sure they know how beneficial it will be for them…”
