Chapter 84: X
The two froze, staring as Christopher released Advika, his gaze hardening as he took a few steps towards the trembling pair.
"You two possess a remarkable audacity," he stated, his eyes narrowed. "Miss Advika is both my valued disciple and my capable secretary. To trifle with her is to directly challenge me! What do you believe the appropriate consequence should be?"
’Capable secretary? I don’t even know anything about being a secretary?’ Advika thought.
"Master Christopher, please, I beg you, spare me!!" Jim pleaded frantically, dropping to his knees in abject terror.
The Valhalla family wasn’t a family he could mess with, even his father won’t openly offend them, let alone him.
Christopher casually retrieved his phone from his pocket. With a few swift taps on the screen of the Supreme Bank app, which he had conveniently downloaded while waiting for Murphy, he initiated a transfer.
DING!
Murphy’s phone chimed, signaling the arrival of the funds. Her eyes widened as she saw the credited amount. One million dollars.
"Everyone!" she announced, her voice ringing with excitement as she held up her phone for all to see. "As you can witness, Master Christopher is an incredibly generous man! He has just transferred one million dollars to me!" She seized the opportunity to solidify Christopher’s image and dispel any negative impressions.
"This? Why?!" Eris wailed from the floor, her face a mask of despair.
"First, she was the most beautiful and intelligent student in middle school, and now... she has such a wealthy and powerful man as her boss, who is willing to spend a fortune on her! Why does she get everything?! What about me?!" she cried out, her voice filled with bitterness and envy.
