Expert Down The Mountain Chapter 15

Cyrus answered, “My master owes Mr. Lufian a favor, and I’m there to return it on his behalf.

“I’m just staying at their place for the time being. Mr. Lufian is kind to me.”

He remembered Korah’s warning and did not tell anyone else about their fake marriage.

“I see…” Zedekiah felt as if a veil had been lifted over his head, and he looked at Redmond. “Tell Mr. Battson that he is to hand the International Prosperous Project to the Gardner family.”

Redmond nodded. “I’ve already told him through the phone.”

Cyrus was momentarily stunned before he asked, “You have a say in the International Prosperous Project?”

Truman spoke up beside him, “It seems like you do not quite understand the Penn family, Cyrie. There are only a few things that the Penn family cannot decide upon in Atralo.”

Was this what Mr. Frank meant by famous families and powerful families?

Cyrus hesitated before he said, “Thank you… But you can’t just hand over something without asking for a price…”

Zedekiah immediately said, “If you feel guilty about it, when I fall next time, please treat me as well.”

Cyrus thought about it and nodded. “Alright.”

Zedekiah felt delighted when he saw that Cyrus had agreed to it.

“By the way, I intend to say a few words and thank you in public later. I would also like to ask you to go on stage so that they might get to know you. Will you be alright with that?”

When he saw that Cyrus looked like he wanted to reject the offer, Zedekiah sighed and said, “My boy, you saved my life, and I cannot consider myself to have repaid the favor by just handing over the International Prosperous Project.

“My son offended you and Dr. Cohen that day, and I feel guilty about it. I will feel uneasy if I don’t do something to reduce the guilt in my heart.”

As he spoke, he cast a glance at Truman, who immediately understood what he wanted to do and said, “Cyrie, Mr. Penn isn’t an ordinary person. If he offers you support, you can do whatever you want in Fliton City.”

Alda said, “That’s right, Cyrus. Plenty of people want Mr. Penn’s support, you know?”

But Cyrus did not care about it. He would only stay in Fliton City for around four months.

Once he repaid the favor, he would return to the village.

However, since Mr. Penn appeared to be sincere in his offer, he could not reject it. “Al… right.”

He felt resigned and could only accept it.

Zedekiah smiled in satisfaction.

Eos ran to the exit of the banquet hall in a pathetic fashion.

A number of people stared at him in shock and thought, ‘How could someone like Eos come to this sort of occasion?’

However, Eos did not care about that. He just wanted to leave the place.

Due to his panic, he nearly ran into a few people, and when he saw them, he found that he had nearly run into Lufian and his family.

The Gardner family… Cyrus Salazar…

He was immediately filled with panic as he said, “M-Mr. Lufian, Mr. Gardner, apologies!”

“Eos Giulio?” Lufian was a little surprised. He might not regard Eos with any importance, but there was no need for the man to be in such a state of panic after seeing him, right?

Eos did not dare say anything else and just ran out.

Korah frowned. “Is that Marino Hunt’s godson? He doesn’t look very level-headed.”

Lufian just found it strange and looked toward Wade. “Do I look scary? Why was he so terrified when he saw me?”

“I don’t know what’s going on with him…” Wade did not understand it either.

Puzzlement filled Lufian’s heart, but at that moment, a man in a suit arrived in front of them and spoke respectfully, “Are you Lufian Gardner?”

“I am,” Lufian answered in bemusement.
