Expert Down The Mountain Chapter 11

The bespectacled man was Eos, Marino’s godson. He had done plenty of things for Marino before.

At this very moment, Eos was scared out of his wits.

“Why were you guys targeting Korah?” Cyrus squatted down and stared at Eos quizzically.

“M-Mr. Hunt received orders from the CEO of Haco Corporation. He wants Mr. Hunt to capture Korah so that he can threaten Wade Gardner into giving up on bidding for the International Prosperous Project…”

“Is this project really important to Gardner Corporation?” Cyrus asked.

“Very… Gardner Corporation transferred most of its funds to fund this project, and they also rejected many other projects…”

After a moment of thought, Cyrus asked, “What will happen to Gardner Corporation if they don’t take on this project?”

Eos gulped. “Haco Corporation wants to absorb Gardner Corporation. If Gardner Corporation doesn’t manage to take the project, Wade Gardner won’t be able to use those funds, and they’ll just end up as idle funds.”

Cyrus pondered this. Then, he pointed to Marino and the other four people’s corpses. “You did this. It has nothing to do with me, understand?”

Eos was stunned. ‘Does this mean… that he won’t kill me?’

Cyrus frowned, and Eos trembled. He quickly said, “I killed Marino and his subordinates to take power! You were never here!”

At that, Cyrus nodded in satisfaction. “I just don’t want Mr. Gardner to clean up my mess. I suppose you understand what I mean?”

“Yes! Of course!” Eos nodded.

How would he dare to harbor any other thoughts after he just managed to escape death?

Once Cyrus left, Eos changed into Kevin’s pants before he took his phone out and called a number.

……

“Cyrus, aren’t you here yet?”

“I got a little hungry, so I stopped for food. I’ll be there soon.” Cyrus hung up and ran to Thousand Medicine Pharmacy.

He reached the place around half an hour later.

Alda was still dressed in her white nurse’s uniform, but she appeared much more mischievous and adorable compared to yesterday.

“Gramps, Cyrus is here!” Alda shouted happily. It was only then that Truman walked out of the reception room.

“Cyrie, come on in.” Truman beckoned Cyrus inside with a smile.

There was another person in the reception room. It was Redmond Penn, the man who had threatened Truman yesterday.

Cyrus ignored him and asked Truman, “You asked for me, Mr. Cohen?”

Truman smiled. “Didn’t you save Mr. Penn yesterday? Mr. Redmond Penn came over today to pay the consultation fees. I thought about it and realized that the money should belong to you. After all, I’m not the one who saved Mr. Penn.”

Once he finished speaking, he handed Cyrus a card. “It’s not much, just 100,000 dollars.”

Cyrus’ eyebrows shot up. ‘100,000 dollars?! That much?!’

He only managed to save around 50,000 dollars after saving up for six years, and Mr. Frank had even taken all of his money, leaving behind only 18 dollars for him to pay for food.

When Truman saw that Cyrus did not take the card, he shoved the card into Cyrus’ hand. “It’s what you deserve. Don’t be shy.

“By the way, Mr. Redmond came over to apologize to you as well. He would like to express his sincerest apologies for how he acted yesterday.”

Cyrus was not dumb. He could tell that Truman wanted to help get rid of the biased opinion Cyrus had for Redmond.

Redmond said sincerely, “I was a little too worked up yesterday, kid. That’s why I ended up saying something offensive to Dr. Cohen. I hope you’ll forgive my transgression.”
