The next morning, a neatly dressed Connor set off from his apartment. He was going to the Sanchez Bank to look for George and see if he could get a better solution from him. He had already decided that if he couldn't get any good news from George, Connor would make a trip to the Meazza Manor to sell some of the alchemy items he had refined and see if he could gather two thousand pounds. In short, Connor wouldn't take this risk if he didn't have a safe channel to exchange for gold pounds.
"Hello sir, Manager George is on leave today. Please come back another day!" After arriving at the headquarters of Sanchez Bank, Connor directly went to the front desk of the bank and asked her to help him report his arrival. However, to Connor's surprise, the beautiful lady at the front desk respectfully said such words to him that caught him off guard.
Hearing that George wasn't in, Connor frowned slightly. He muttered to himself for a moment before asking the receptionist, "Will George be coming back to work tomorrow?"
The receptionist's delicate face revealed a trace of difficulty as she explained to Connor, "Sir, I am only the receptionist of the bank. I don't have access to Manager George's schedule!"
Although Connor felt a bit disappointed when he didn't see George, he also knew that the receptionist was telling the truth. Connor nodded slightly before taking out a ten gold pound note from his wallet and handing it to the receptionist. He said, "My name is Connor Ferguson, George's classmate at Greene University. I have something to discuss with him. If he comes to work tomorrow, please help me report it!"
The receptionist looked at the ten gold pound note that Connor handed over with a trace of longing in her eyes. But in the end, she shook her head and respectfully said, "Mr. Connor, if Manager George comes to work tomorrow, I will report it for you according to the bank's procedures. But please take the money back. According to the bank's regulations, bank employees are not allowed to accept tips from customers!"
Hearing that there was such a rule in Sanchez Bank, Conner was stunned for a second. However, he still put the money back into his wallet and whispered, "Sorry for the trouble." After that, he walked out of the headquarters of Sanchez Bank under the gaze of the receptionist with her beautiful eyes.
Walking on the street and enjoying the cool breeze, Connor knew very well that if he wanted to, he could easily get the contact information of the receptionist. Then, he would have a wonderful night tonight. However, Connor wasn't interested at all. The time for Desilio's arrival in Loen was approaching day by day. He needed to get the remaining two thousand gold coins as soon as possible.
Just as Connor was thinking about how to solve the current problem, he returned to his apartment at 16 Rand Street in Loen's East Borough. Connor was surprised to see a carriage that he was very familiar with on Rand Street. It was George's carriage. As George's good friend, Connor had ridden in that carriage many times, so he definitely wouldn't be mistaken.
Just as Connor discovered this situation and was somewhat surprised, a man in a gray trench coat and a cap alighted from the carriage and walked towards Connor.
Although the man's gray trench coat and cap covered his face, Connor could tell at a glance that the man walking towards him was his good friend, George. Although Connor didn't know why George would dress up like this to look for him, his reaction was still very fast. He calmly opened the door with the key, walked into the apartment, and then left the door ajar.
Three minutes after Connor walked into the apartment, George opened the ajar door and walked into Connor's apartment.
After glancing at the tiredness on George's face, Connor and George gave each other a heavy hug. After that, Connor picked up a bottle of his favorite red wine, Romano Conti, and said to George with a smile, "Brat, you're in luck. My last bottle of Romano Conti."
Looking at the enthusiastic Connor and the Romano Conti on the dining table, the always enthusiastic and cheerful George reluctantly squeezed out a smile at Connor and sat on the sofa.
Connor poured a glass of Conti for both himself and George. After handing the wine to George, he sat on the sofa opposite George and shook the glass to sober himself up. He squinted his eyes and said to George, "What's the trouble?"
Connor was very clear that the way George came to find him and the way he looked like he had a lot on his mind meant that he didn't come here purely for a gathering of friends. He must have come here to discuss something with Connor. If Connor didn't solve his problem, no matter how good the wine was, it would be like a cow chewing on a peony to George!
After hearing Connor's straightforwardness, George took the glass of Conti that was handed to him by Connor as if he was venting his anger. Without sobering up, he raised his head and downed the entire glass of Conti that was as precious as gold!
It was very easy to get drunk drinking Conti without sobering up. George's face was instantly flushed red. With the help of alcohol, George stared at Connor and said to Connor while panting heavily, "Connor, do you know about wizards?"
Hearing George's question, Connor's heart skipped a beat. He hesitated for a moment, but didn't say anything. He only nodded heavily at George.
Seeing Connor nod, George smiled bitterly and said to Connor, "Olsen has the talent to be a wizard!"
Hearing this, Connor suddenly understood. Olsen was the illegitimate son of George's father, Mr. Harvey. Olsen's ambition wasn't small either. He wanted to compete with George, the first in line to inherit the Sanchez Family's assets left behind by Mr. Harvey. However, with Connor's help, George beat Olsen at his own game and successfully schemed against him, causing Olsen to suffer a huge setback. George's father, the head of the Sanchez Family, Mr. Harvey, also grounded Olsen.
Who would've thought that Olsen had such good fortune to have the talent to become a wizard that was hard to come by in a thousand people. After hearing this news, it was no wonder that George was so worried.
"Tell me the details!" After thinking for a while, Connor said to George seriously.
To put it bluntly, the reason why George came to look for Connor today was to ask Connor to help him think of a solution. Faced with Connor's inquiry, he naturally didn't hold back at all and told Connor all the information he had obtained!
