Chapter 971 75 Million for Your Life
"I was indeed at fault for injuring Shirley, but you don't have the right to question me." Crayson snorted
coldly. Straightening his back, he stood upright and exuded the arrogance of an elder with his entire
body, even the look he gave Skyler filled with pure conceit.
"You harmed Shir! How dare you be so cocky about it!" Skyler pointed at Crayson furiously. Then, he
randomly picked up a vase from nearby and threw the vase in Crayson's direction.
At that moment, he barely retained any sense of rationality left in his mind. He only wanted to teach the
old man a harsh lesson.
"I'll provide compensation for harming her. She was only disfigured, wasn't she? Medical cosmetic
technology is so advanced nowadays. It will only take half a year to restore her appearance. I offered
7.5 million as compensation—an amount she will never earn even if she worked for her entire life!"
His arrogant tone and haughty attitude rendered Skyler madder than before. However, Veronica could

was her best friend and Skyler's girlfriend!
"Fine!" She put down her teacup and spoke in a crisp voice, "Fine. Since you want to value everything
in terms of money, we should carefully calculate everything. You ruined Shirley's appearance for 7.5
million. Fortunately, I have 75 million here. That's more than enough to buy your life. Isn't that right,
Master?"
She deliberately emphasized the word 'Master', enunciating the word slowly and raising her tone
slightly so that her statement came out sarcastic. Although she looked calm and indifferent on the
surface, she was utterly heartbroken inside. She felt as though she was parting ways with something
very dear to her, and the invisible pain continuously sawed at her heart. The agony was so
overwhelming that her heart clenched tightly.
Picking up a bank card with her fingers, she sent the card flying toward Crayson. As a martial art
practitioner, the bank card flew toward him like a well-shot arrow. Moreover, there was great force
accumulated in the card. If anybody were hit by it, their life would immediately be in danger.
Crayson swiftly retreated when he saw the card flying toward him. Thus, it flew past him and struck the
pillar behind him with a bang, embedding several inches deep into the wood.
It was conceivable that she had not held back her strength at all.
He stared at the bank card embedded in the wooden pillar. Perhaps, she had exerted too much force
into the strike, so the card vibrated at a high frequency for several seconds. There was a soft humming
sound before it finally stopped trembling.
Silence fell across the entire room.
Knowing that Veronica was furious, Skyler wisely kept silent.
"Why did you dodge?" She smiled coldly. "Wasn't 7 million enough for you to disfigure a person? I
offered to buy your life for 75 million, but that amount is based on the fact that you are my master. You
don't think this disciple is too stingy, right? Master?"
Her odd statement was a direct insult to Crayson, wantonly disparaging him.

"Veronica Murphy!" He was triggered by her words, prompting him to react in anger. "I am your master!
Is that how you speak to me?"
"Hahahahaha!" As though hearing the most ridiculous words in the world, Veronica threw her head
back and guffawed. However, the smile did not reach her eyes and seemed to give off an impression of
sorrow instead. "Master? Hahaha… You sure are. I'm surprised you even remembered who you are to
me!"
Leaning forward, she picked up the dagger on the table and walked over to the old man. "You've been
carrying out countless heartless and barbaric schemes under the guise of hypocrisy, constantly
preaching that 'everything is for my good'. You've repeatedly attempted to eradicate Matt. Even though
I tried my hardest to save him, you went behind my back and leaked information to Tanya just to
prevent me from saving him."
Stopping before Crayson, Veronica unsheathed the dagger to reveal the gleaming blade. She reached
out and pressed the tip of the blade against his chest. "Do you know how many people died in the
research center that day? You claim to be righteous and benevolent, but you turned a blind eye to the
twenty-two deaths there. Every one of them has a family. Do you even have a conscience?"
