Chapter 2398
The Secretly Rich Man
âSo, youâve come looking for me even before Iâve come for you, Yasmin?â growled the furious Harper as he glared at Yasmin Lamer, his ex-girlfriend!
âI⦠Iâm sorry, Harperâ¦! What I did was absolutely horrible! But please understand that it was that man who forced me to do all that to you back thenâ¦! After getting what he wanted, that man simply snatched everything away before dumping me! With that in mind, now that youâre the boss of Mayberry Capital and the commercial street, Iâm begging you to help meâ¦!â pleaded Yasmin.
âDid you honestly think Iâd ever forgive you?â scoffed Harper as he shook his head.
âI know Iâve done a lot of wrong things, but I know you still have feelings for meâ¦! You⦠You wouldnât want to see me die, would youâ¦?â whimpered Yasmin miserably.
âWhat? Die?â replied Harper, stunned.
Now sobbing heavily, Yasmin meekly explained, âAfter robbing me of all my possessions, that man blackmailed me to hand him fifty million dollars⦠Itâs either that or my lifeâ¦! Iâve done you great injustice, so even if you donât lend me a hand, please allow me to beg for your forgiveness before I dieâ¦!â
Watching as Yasmin began kowtowing till her forehead began bleeding, Harperâs heart eventually softened, prompting him to say, âGet up. Though itâs impossible for us to be together again, I canât deny that we were once lovers. With that said, Iâm not heartless enough to not lend a hand!â
âI T-thank youâ¦! T-theyâre now waiting for me in Tomorrowâs Tavern⦠! â whimpered Yasmin in a quivering voice.
âTheyâre waiting in the very pub I opened for you? Ballsy! Either way, lead me to them. Iâm having a word with those b*stards!â scoffed Harper as he signaled for two bodyguards to follow him out. His lack of hesitation stemmed from the fact that the pub was within his territory.
Regardless, the second Harper left his office, Gerald who was cultivating in his office in Wayfair Mountain, couldnât help but helplessly shake his head as he opened his eyes.
âThat silly Harper⦠Just like me, heâs too quick to soften up to a womanâs tears⦠Still, I hope you soon learn that if that woman really wishes to harm you, youâll simply continue dying to her, even if you have eight lives!â
While cultivating, Gerald had a habit of spreading his divine sense over a large area. By doing so he was able to keep an eye on his surroundings while cultivating and prevent getting ambushed.
Regardless, this explained how Gerald was able to hear the conversation at the manorâs entrance.
Geraldâs train of thought was cut short when he heard Aiden knocking on the door before saying, âBrother Gerald? Someone told me that Harperâs just left with the woman who defected to the Morningstars back then! Leo knows about it too, and heâs asked if we should talk some sense into him.
That aside, itâll be great if nothing happens, but if something does, Iâm sure we can still deal with the Morningstars!â
âI already know, donât worry too much about it. Speaking of which, since youâ re already here, Iâve written down a set of cultivation techniques for you and Leo. Do hand his copy to him later. Regardless, from today onward, I want you two to start strictly cultivating according to the breathing techniques I wrote, understand?â replied Gerald.
âHuh? I⦠Thankyou! Once Iâm done cultivating, will I be able to become a secret technique expert like those from the Morningstar family?â asked Aiden as he took the papers excitedly.
âLike Iâd teach you such cheap tricks! What Iâve given you is from Uncle Zeman. With that in mind, if you cultivate diligently and undergo regenerative treatment to cleanse your flesh and bones, you may be able to join the cultivation realm and become an actual cultivator. By that point, the Morningstars will be nothing to you!â scoffed Gerald.
