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? Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

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.”

Redmond was one of the most important people in Atralo, yet he was apologizing to a young man in his

twenties.

No one would believe it even if word got out.

But Cyrus could tell that Redmond was not doing this sincerely. He must have been forced to come

here to apologize.

Still, those words were not aimed at him yesterday. He just felt mad at that time because he thought it

was unfair for Truman.

“I’ll be fine if Mr. Cohen is okay with it.” Once he said this, Cyrus returned the card to Truman.

“You should keep the card. I have to come here to grab medicine from you quite often in the future, so

I’ll use it to pay.”

Truman answered sternly, “Cyrie, you’re keeping me at arm’s length if you do this. Just come over and

grab whatever herbs you need in the future!”

Hence, Cyrus no longer rejected the card. He took it.

Since he had nothing else to do here, Cyrus decided to return to the company.

Considering Redmond’s presence, Truman sent Alda to escort Cyrus.

When Alda saw Cyrus again, she asked curiously, “Cyrus, Gramps said that you’re really skilled in

medicine. Is that true?”

“Mr. Cohen is just exaggerating. I’m not that good.”

Surprise flashed in Alda’s lively eyes. “Do you have other even more astonishing abilities? What are

they?”

Cyrus smiled. “I’m best at fighting.”

Alda giggled. “Cyrus, stop joking!”

Cyrus looked resigned. Then, he asked, “By the way, I have a question. Do you know Marino Hunt?”

Alda’s expression froze. In the next second, she said in a somewhat nervous voice, “Of course. He’s a

fearsome person and a famous man in Fliton City. Did you… offend him?”

Cyrus thought about it. “I… don’t think so?”

Alda said worriedly, “If you did, you must tell me. I’ll ask Gramps to solve the problem for you.”

Cyrus smiled. “It’s fine. It’s no longer important.”

‘Looks like he’s really an important person. Thank goodness I had Spectacles become my scapegoat.’

After Alda returned to Thousand Medicine Pharmacy, she immediately went to her grandfather.

“Are you saying that Cyrus might have offended Marino Hunt?” Truman was a little shocked, and he

had a deep frown on his face.

“I think so…”

Redmond remarked coolly across from where he sat. “Marino Hunt is one of Haco Robinson’s

subordinates, right?”

Truman nodded. “It seems like you know him, Mr. Redmond. Marino Hunt is infamous for being

ruthless. He has done plenty of shady things for Haco Robinson.”

Redmond said, “If Cyrus has offended Marino Hunt, I’ll have my men call the man.”

Truman was shocked when he heard this, but once he thought about it, he knew that this was a good

thing!

If word got out that Cyrus was affiliated with the Penn family, no one in Fliton City would dare to do him

harm.

Redmond took out his phone and called his secretary.

“Flavius, call Marino Hunt and tell him that there is a young man in Fliton City called Cyrus Salazar. He

is my friend.”

But when Flavius heard this, he said calmly, “Sir, I don’t think that’s necessary. Marino Hunt is dead.”

Redmond was shocked when he heard this.

‘Marino Hunt… is dead?’
