At half past ten at night, Murray left the Summer Wind Club.
Before leaving, Elroy gave him 1,500,000 dollars as medical fees, making Murray earn his first pot of gold since his birth.
Murray knew what Elroy was thinking. In addition to being grateful, giving him so much money meant making friends.
The martial arts, physiognomy and medical skills he demonstrated made Elroy feel that he was of great value.
Murray originally didn't want to have a close relationship with Elroy, but thinking that he would inevitably have to contact with him when he got back the Cloud Peak Mountain Villa in the future, he finally accepted the check.
Returning to the Thrussell family's villa, Murray slowed down and went straight to the second floor quietly.
As soon as he pushed the door open and walked in, he saw Freya coming out of the bathroom.
The snow-white bath towel only wrapped her private parts.
Murray saw her incredibly straight legs at a glance.
A woman's legs would more or less have some flaws.
Too long but not straight, too straight but the skin tone uneven, even skin tone but with small scars… But for Freya's legs, all Murray felt was a strong physiological shock.
It's like a snow-white lotus root, but not bloated.
Murray felt that all his breath was hot.
"You are back?" Seeing Murray appear, Freya was slightly startled, instinctively tightening the towel, and then relaxed, "Are you okay?
"Seeing that you didn't come back this late, I thought you were arrested by the police," She seemed casual, but she felt a little uneasy in her heart. After all, Murray broke Hamiltion's fingers in public.
"I'm fine," Murray's eyes moved as she moved, and he didn't take it back until Freya walked into the inner room, "With Elroy showing up, the Cooper family will be in peace and won't cause trouble for me," He added, "Sean even apologized to me."
"Just so long as it's okay," Freya's eyes were worried, "But this time you owe Elroy a favor."
She knew very well in her heart that how could the prestige of a person like Elroy be so easy to borrow?
If he stood up for Murray once, he would probably make Murray return the favor by squeezing his flesh and blood.
"I will give you 15,000 dollars another day, and you go buy some expensive gifts for Elroy," Freya Tang sat up slightly and said, "Repay as much favor owed tonight as you can."
Murray smiled heartily, "Don't worry, I saved his life. The favor tonight is enough to smooth things over."
Freya thought of Murray's life-saving incident, and most of her worries disappeared from her pretty face, "Murray, if you don't owe any favors anymore, and you can avoid dealing with Elroy in the future, then don't deal with him.
"I don't want to visit you in jail."
If he got too close to Elroy, there would be trouble sooner or later. Although the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce was a chamber of commerce, it was engaged all in grey business.
"Okay," Murray remembered something, "By the way, you have a problem with your funds, why didn't you tell me?"
He had learned about the situation that Freya had been tricked by the Hundred Blossom Bank.
The term of the loan of 15 million dollars was originally three years, but she was deceived by the bank into paying it back in half a year. As soon as it was repaid, the bank stopped renewing the loan using the excuse that the business risk was too high.
This put Freya into chaos.
The company was expanding its scale of production, and 15 million dollars in working capital had been taken away, which had greatly affected its normal operations.
Freya borrowed money from everywhere and even offered three times interest to the bank. She thought it would not be difficult to solve the problem, but her business partners all found various excuses to refuse her.
Freya tried hard, but still had a shortfall of 8 million dollars, which eventually led to tonight's conflict.
"Telling you this?" Freya's pretty face instinctively showed a hint of ridicule, "Is it useful to tell you?
"8 million dollars, how can you help?
"As long as you are of some use, I don't have to work so hard every day."
Murray smiled bitterly. This was true. If it were him from the past, even if he knew that Freya was in difficulty, he wouldn't be able to help in the slightest.
"Oh, by the way, I have 1,500,000 dollars here. Elroy forced it on me," He took out the check and handed it over, "You take it first."
"1,500,000 dollars?" Freya's body trembled and she looked at Murray in disbelief, "Elroy gave you 1,500,000 dollars?"
Murray found an excuse, "Yeah, I guess he didn't want to owe me a favor, so he gave me 1,500,000 dollars to end the favor of saving his life."
"I can't take the 1,500,000 dollars, and you can't accept it either," Freya kept her head clear, "You must not cash it, otherwise you will never be able to keep away from it.
"Even if Elroy doesn't drag you into trouble, the police will still come after you for the money in the future.
"Don't cash it. If you need money, I'll give it to you," Her cold voice reminded Murray, and she forgot her open legs. The whiteness stimulated Murray's eyes.
Murray was stunned and wanted to persuade her, but when he saw Freya's frosty face, he had no choice but to put away the check.
"I will solve my company's problems," Freya advised, "You should deal with family affairs these days, and then find a job as soon as possible.
"In the past, your mother was sick and you needed to take care of her every few days. Now that she has recovered, you have no reason not to work.
"I won't ask you to make much money. I just ask you to be more stable," She didn't want to see Murray mopping the floor and cooking every day, nor did she want to see Murray pretending to be a god-sent doctor to fool people, so she hoped that he would do some serious business.
Murray nodded again, "Okay, I will see my mother tomorrow and then find a job as soon as possible."
After saying that, he found the clothes and went to take a shower. As soon as he entered the bathroom, Murray's eyes narrowed slightly.
He saw Freya's Buddha amulet hanging on the sink.
A wisp of black energy lingered.
Seeing Freya combing her hair, Murray quietly took the Buddha amulet.
The Stone of Life and Death automatically rotated, exuding fierce killing intent.
Murray could feel its evil.
When he was about to crush it, he found a face suddenly appeared in the mirror.
"Give it back to me!" Freya, who appeared behind him, suddenly shouted angrily and snatched the Buddha amulet from Murray's hand.
Murray was so frightened by her that he trembled all over. He looked at Freya who was breathing rapidly in shock and was a little dazed for a moment.
Because he had never seen Freya's expression like this.
She was like a child who had her favorite toy taken away, shocked and angry, even mixed with cruelty and ferociousness.
Freya, who was holding the Buddha amulet in her hand, suddenly calmed down and seemed to realize her overreaction.
She looked at the dumbfounded Murray, feeling ashamed in her heart, like a child who had done something wrong.
She wanted to say sorry to Murray, but instead she scolded him with a straight face, "Who allowed you to touch my things?
"From now on, you can't touch my belongings without my consent, or you go to sleep on the third floor," While talking, she kept holding the Buddha amulet in her arms as if it were some kind of treasure.
"Freya, this is really an evil thing, you must throw it away immediately," Murray stared at Freya and advised, "Otherwise, you and the people around you will be affected, and if it's serious, your life will be in danger…" He found that the black energy of the Buddha amulet began to become stronger again.
"Get out!" Freya interrupted coldly…
