Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During this half a month, Connor’s life was still considered peaceful.
During the day, he would go to school. At night, he w’ould return to Jorge’s house to learn ancient martial arts and fight with Jabba.
Other than that, there was nothing else.
“Ring, ring!”
Originally admiring Rachel’s black silk legs in the classroom, Connor suddenly heard a familiar ringtone.
Connor subconsciously touched his phone and confirmed that it was his phone that rang.
The students in the classroom naturally heard Connor’s ringtone and turned to look at him.
Connor’s expression was very awkward.
Rachel looked at Connor coldly and said expressionlessly, “Connor, get out!”
Rachel had always been strict about that. She never allowed anyone to play with their phones or sleep in class.
If Rachel found out, she would immediately chase them out.
Connor w’as naturally no exception.
Connor helplessly stood up and glanced at Rachel. He sighed internally.
Although Connor was very unconvinced, he still walked out of the classroom. After leaving the classroom, Connor took out his phone and realized it was Thomas calling, so he answered it directly.
“Mr. McDonald, can you talk now?” Thomas asked with a smile.
“I couldn’t just now, but now’ I can…” Connor replied helplessly, then continued, “Why did you call me?”
“Well, Mr. McDonald… Some time ago, I called back the general manager in charge of our company’s business in Southeast Asia because the person in charge will report to the former chairman every year. Previously, he had always reported to the former chairman. Now’ that the former chairman has passed aw’ay, it’s time for you to meet the people there…” Thomas said slowdy.
After Connor heard Thomas’s explanation, he was stunned.
He knew very well that the person in charge of Southeast Asia that Thomas was talking about should be Charles Ziegler, Sabrina’s father.
“Can’t I just talk to you?” Connor replied softly.
Connor didn’t want to meet Charles, nor did he want Charles to know his true identity.
“Uhm…” Thomas seemed a little helpless. He said in a low voice, “Mr. McDonald, I don’t have a good relationship with the person in charge of Southeast Asia. Back then, we had a little conflict. If you want him to report to me, I don’t think he’ll agree…”
Connor w’as surprised. He recalled the conflict betw’een Thomas and Charles.
“Mr. McDonald, the person in charge of Southeast Asia, Charles Ziegler, is very important. 1 think it’s best for you to meet him…” Thomas said again.
Connor held the phone, hesitated, and said lightly, “Alright then. In that case, I’ll meet him!”
Connor felt that it was not a big deal for him to meet Charles.
After the meeting, he only needed to remind Charles not to tell Sabrina about his identity.
If that w’ere the case, Charles would no longer make things difficult for him.
“So, Mr. McDonald, I’ll get someone to pick you up tomorrow?” Thomas hurriedly asked after Connor agreed.
“There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Just tell me the address, and I’ll go there directly…” Connor thought for a moment and said lightly.
“Mr. McDonald, you might not be able to go there yourself. You have to meet Charles in South Dakota…” Thomas said slowly.
“South Dakota?” Connor was stunned for a moment.
“That’s right, Mr. McDonald. The four cities, Davenport, South Dakota, San Francisco, and San Antonio, will hold an exchange meeting tomorrow. Many big shots w’ill be there, and there will be a martial arts competition. The outcome of this martial arts competition may affect many interests…” Thomas said slowly.
“Are you also going to participate in this martial arts tournament?” Connor was stunned for a moment before asking.
“I don’t have to participate in this martial arts tournament. After all, many companies in these four cities are under my control. Those who participate in the martial arts tournament are usually on missions in the underworld. People like me who do legal business won’t participate in the martial arts tournament. I’m just going to watch the show…” Thomas smiled, replied to Connor, and continued, “Davenport is sending with Kyle and Charles…”
“Why is Charles representing Davenport in this martial arts tournament?” Connor asked helplessly.
“Charles has no dealings with the gangs in the four cities, but he, Kyle, and 1 belong to the same company. Therefore, Kyle represents the interests of our company. The company’s interests will be affected if Kyle loses in the martial arts tournament. Charles has a quite skilled bodyguard, so every time there’s a martial arts tournament, Charles has to go and help…” Thomas explained patiently.
After hearing Thomas’s explanation, Connor came to a realization.
After all, very few people knew that Thomas, Kyle, and Charles were actually from the same company.
To prevent any accidents from happening to Kyle, it w’as normal for Charles to help.
“Mr. McDonald, if you have nothing else to do, I suggest you go over and look. After all, those who can participate in the martial arts tournament are all relatively famous martial artists in the four cities.” Thomas continued.
“All the participants are martial artists?” After Connor heard this, he instantly became interested.
“That’s right. Ordinary people don’t have the qualifications to participate in the martial arts tournament. Moreover, even if they did participate, those ordinary people have no chance of winning…” Thomas hurriedly said.
“All right then, get someone to pick me up tomorrow’ morning!” Connor knew that tomorrow was Saturday, and he had nothing to do.
Moreover, he had been practicing ancient martial arts recently and w’as very interested in martial arts, so he could take this opportunity to look.
“All right!” Thomas smiled and agreed, then hung up the phone..
