The robust young man beside Jephthah Harrison had a chilling gaze. He took a step forward and coldly said, "Kid, do you know who you..."
"Shut up!"
The robust young man was first stunned, then looked bewildered and said, "Mr. Harrison, this kid..."
"I told you to shut up!" Jephthah suddenly turned his head, glaring at him and said, "Is my word not effective?"
The robust young man's lips moved, and after a moment, he obediently stepped back.
Throughout the entire process, Fabricio Harrison kept his eyes slightly closed. It wasn't until now that he casually said, "There's half a minute left."
This statement almost provoked the young man again. As for Jephthah, his anger was about to explode.
Indeed, considering the background and assets, the Harrison family couldn't be considered an elite, but Accord Group was a listed company with assets exceeding six billion. As the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar group wholly owned by the Harrison family, when was he ever threatened like this?
Moreover, the one uttering such words was just a young kid.
But, setting aside the high probability that he might be the only hope to cure his father, just based on Graydon Zeigler's account and the disaster of the so-called "bloody light" confirmed by Kocsis Jean herself, it was enough to show that this person was not simple.
It was precisely because of these two reasons that he had always been extremely polite to Fabricio.
As long as he could cure my father, what did a momentary anger matter?
With this mindset, Jephthah closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Is Harrison the divine healer not saving people from Accord Group because of Jarell Lee and his girlfriend?"
This was actually easy to guess, after all, there was no conflict between his Harrison family and the young man in front of him. Considering the various sarcasms and insults directed at him by Jarell and Kocsis earlier, the situation was quite obvious.
Unfortunately, he only guessed half of it.
As for the other half of the reason?
It was because, from beginning to end, he had not reacted to the attitude of Jarell and his girlfriend towards Fabricio.
You want me to treat your father, but you watch your employees mock and insult me. Since that's the case, don't blame me for transferring my anger to you.
For this reason, when Fabricio heard this, he didn't even lift an eyelid, just silently thinking, "Ten seconds left."
But in Jephthah's eyes, he thought Fabricio had acquiesced. Therefore, after a brief silence, he slowly said, "My father really can't hold on much longer. How about this, you come with me to the hospital first, save my father, and as for those two, I will definitely give you an explanation later."
To be honest, if it were the old Fabricio, he might have been tempted, but now...
I possess 108 legacies, do I really need your help to deal with Jarell and Kocsis?
Moreover, what explanation will you give me later? What if I can't save him? Will that explanation disappear?
With a disdainful sneer, Fabricio turned around, ready to leave with Davey. However, at this moment, Jephthah continued, "In addition, as long as you can cure my father, I'm willing to pay you ten... no, a hundred thousand as a reward. What do you think?"
"How much, exactly?"
Davey widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief.
Upon hearing this, Jephthah's mind moved, and he looked at him sincerely, saying, "A hundred thousand!"
One, hundred, thousand!!!
As if struck by lightning, Davey felt the world spinning, almost sitting down on the ground.
He would give Fabricio a hundred thousand just to cure his father?
Countless zeros quickly passed before his eyes. Davey pulled Fabricio and said very seriously, "Fabri, with this money, you can repay the medical expenses and car damages that President Spark paid for us. In addition, you can clear all the subsequent expenses for Waimarie's nutrition, rehabilitation, and the money we borrowed in one go."
Jephthah's mind moved again, immediately slapping his forehead with a regretful expression, "Yes, yes, isn't your sister also in the Public Hospital? In that case, whether you can cure my father or not, I will take responsibility for arranging your sister into a VIP ward, giving her the best follow-up recovery and care. What do you think?"
Davey was completely tempted. He pulled Fabricio again and said, "Fabri."
"... "
It had to be said that Jephthah's last two conditions hit Fabricio's weak spot.
Certainly, he was confident that making money with his current abilities was just a matter of time, but how long is "just a matter of time"?
Currently, they owed a large sum of money outside, and Waimarie indeed needed a good environment and better medicinal herbs for recovery. If they could get Jephthah's one million, it would immediately solve all their current problems.
With this thought in mind, he had no more hesitation, nodded, and said, "Alright, giving money or not, it doesn't matter. The main thing is that I appreciate Mr. Harrison's perseverance."
"..."
Jephthah, Graydon, and the robust young man all twitched their mouths.
Doesn't your conscience hurt when you say that?
As for Davey, he was so embarrassed that he almost covered his face.
However, Fabricio continued without caring, "Okay, Mr. Harrison, you said you were in a hurry, right? Let's hurry up and go."
"Oh, yes, yes." Jephthah quickly waved his hand and pointed to a black Bentley parked on the side of the road, politely saying, "Dr. Harrison, please."
"Or Mr. Harrison first, right. By the way, Mr. Harrison, do you really have a million?"
"... Dr. Harrison, rest assured, I, Jephthah, do what I say."
"Hehe, Mr. Harrison is too kind..."
As they spoke, the group finally got into the car.
Among the five people, the robust young man was the driver. Davey naturally sat in the front passenger seat, while Fabricio was squeezed between the two in the back seat.
On the way, Jephthah looked at Fabricio several times. After hesitating for a while, he couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Dr. Harrison, do you know that after you left, that woman named Kocsis got her head smashed open with a flower pot?"
"What?" Before Fabricio could speak, Davey shouted loudly, "Is there such a good thing? This is really a stroke of luck!"
"..."
Fabricio twitched his mouth, thinking that's probably why they caught up again. Outwardly, he just smiled faintly and said, "It seems she didn't take my words seriously."
"Dr. Harrison, did you really foresee her disaster today through Qi-observing method?"
Worried that he might upset Fabricio, Jephthah quickly added, "Don't get me wrong; I'm not doubting you. It's just that I find this really incredible, especially when you said her forehead turned black... but why can't we see it?"
Fabricio calmly said, "Because you guys don't know how to practice Qi-observing method, so naturally, you can't see it."
"Qi-observing method?"
Everyone was confused.
What's going on?
After thinking for a moment, Fabricio thought, Jephthah... No, the entire Harrison family might become my potential clients in the future, so it's necessary to explain. So, he patiently explained, "In the world, everything has the concept of 'qi' or energy. Taking humans as an example, there are five colors."
"The first is brightness, representing prosperity. The second is dimness, indicating decline. The third is red, symbolizing great wealth. The fourth is purple, signifying great honor. Finally, there is black, representing disaster."
"And here, the most famous example of the existence of 'qi' is the statement made by Fan Zeng during the banquet at Hongmen when he advised Xiang Yu to kill Liu Bang."
Jephthah couldn't help but ask, "What did he say?"
Fabricio stared into his eyes and said word by word, "This person carries the aura of an emperor, with colors of five elements, all turning into dragons and tigers!"
