Chapter 730: Chapter Four Hundred and Fifty-Three: Domino-style Avalanche! _2

"Hmm, not bad, keep stirring things up." Sean Knight sneered, "Cut down on hanging around here in the future. After this incident is over, let’s get out of here as quickly as possible."

Elijah Hastings also nodded.

Whether on the Big Island or in Africa, they never received this kind of "treatment".

Don’t even mention about their homeland.

Now it felt like being in the White Terror period, clandestine connection like underground party members.

Better leave.

The doorbell rang.

Sean Knight was a bit surprised, who would come looking for him at this hour?

He turned on the surveillance system and saw a middle-aged Chinese man outside the door, accompanied by a bodyguard.

The Sky Eye of Sean Knight activated, he discovered that the bodyguard was carrying a pistol, the middle-aged man brought nothing.

Sean Knight remotely opened the villa’s gate and met them at the entrance.

"I’m sorry to intrude, Mr. Knight." The middle-aged man took the initiative to speak and smiled, "My name is Elijah Hayes. I run a hotel in New York."

Sean Knight nodded, it was clear that this Elijah Hayes was a successful businessman too.

Entering the room, Ms. Kathy, who came at his call, poured tea and then left, leaving the room to Sean Knight and Elijah Hayes.

"Mr. Knight, forgive my rudeness."

Elijah Hayes placed the gift box he brought on the tea table and cheerfully said:

"This is a box of tea shipped from our homeland, pre-Qingming Longjing, as a compensation gift to Mr. Knight."

Sean Knight didn’t hit a smiling man, The man even brought gifts, Sean Knight just smiled and waited for him to continue.

Elijah Hayes glanced at Sean Knight and found he didn’t ask Elijah Hastings to leave. His own bodyguard was a most trusted one, understanding the meaning, he said:

"Actually, there are two reasons for my visit. First, I heard that Mr. Knight’s home was attacked last night. As compatriots, I feel the same pain, so I came to offer my condolences."

Sean Knight smiled and said:

"Thanks for the kindness from Mr. Hayes. I was indeed startled last night and suffered quite a lot of losses. However, it’s a big deal, but it’s hard to say."

"My second purpose of coming here is for this matter." Elijah Hayes said:

"We Chinese here still need to look after each other. If Mr. Knight needs anything, we will try our best to help. When abroad, we Chinese must unite as one, can’t tolerate being bullied by these people."

The words were big; Sean Knight just smiled without responding.

No matter his purpose, his visit showed care, Sean Knight didn’t dwell on the dark side.

"Mr. Knight, forgive my boldness, why did those people... I’ll go straight to the point, why did those police come to trouble you?"

Could you analyze for us? After all, there quite a number of Chinese in New York, some wealthy enough, who became apprehensive after hearing about this incident..."

Sean Knight thought, that’s the effect I wanted!

He thought for a while before saying:

"To be honest, I am an innocent victim. Although I haven’t obtained the citizenship of the Beautiful Country, the businesses I run are within the bounds of the law."

"Also, during every tax season, I strictly pay my taxes in full according to the regulations. I don’t even try to legally avoid taxes."

"But still, these people came rushing into my villa in the middle of the night, without any warning."

"If it weren’t for my brothers being so supportive, I might not be sitting here drinking tea with you, Mr. Hayes. I would be in jail being interrogated or already in the morgue!"

As Sean Knight said this, Elijah Hayes began to feel uneasy.

"Then, Mr. Knight, what did they say? There must be a reason right? After all, there’s so much speculation outside, both positive and negative."

"They said publicly, I’m involved in a zero-dollar purchase robbery case." Sean Knight didn’t hide anything; certain matters, once brought out into the open, lose their potential for fostering undue speculation.

"Then..."

"I naturally didn’t participate." Sean Knight scoffed, "I can’t understand how idiotic a politician has to be to accept a zero-dollar purchase, which is, in essence, a beautified robbery. However, my early upbringing taught me to stay clear of such things."

"Then why..." Elijah Hayes was confused.

"So they didn’t have anything. They just wanted to enter my villa and arrest me first. Then they could force me to agree to whatever evidence they wanted."

By saying this, Sean Knight made Elijah Hayes immediately understand.

"If they had evidence, they wouldn’t have needed to use such underhand tactics."

Elijah Hayes nodded, signifying his understanding. He shook his head again, shortly:

"But, why would they do this? What’s in it for them?"

"Because in their eyes, we’re the leeks!" Sean Knight finally voiced out:

"Mr. Hayes, you run a business in New York; you should be more aware. Isn’t it much harder for Chinese people to run businesses here than for white people?"

These words hit right where it hurt for Elijah Hayes; he lowered his head and didn’t say anything. When he looked up again, his eyes were a bit red.

"Even though, there are still many successful Chinese, right? However, how many of them can really enter their upper-class circle? Almost none, right? Even those who sell their ancestors to get into their circle found it very difficult!"

Sean Knight’s words directly stripped away the fig leaves of many people!

People longing to breathe in the sweet air over here but without a source of income ended up picking garbage and washing dishes; still singing hymns of praise for this country, that is shame incarnate.

"Mr. Knight, I understand... I get it..."

"Given the current environment, coupled with a microencephalic in power, who knows if a new law will be suddenly introduced one day...like the Chinese Exclusion Act of those years..."
