Before George could finish his sentence, Connor interrupted him with a wave of his hand. Under the curious gazes of the crowd, Connor turned to Sophia and said, "The Ferguson family and the Ranieri family have been friends for generations. As the descendant of the Ferguson family, it is only right for me to come and congratulate Uncle Desilio on his return to the mainland of the Empire from the Khoy Continent!"
Connor's explanation was reasonable, but Sophia did not care about it. She was shocked by George's furious glare. She did not expect George to have such a reaction. She could not stand Connor's cold attitude towards her, so she wanted to taunt Connor. She wanted to let Connor know that he was just a descendant of an Earl family. She had already relied on George, who was rich, powerful, and rich!
Sophia immediately shut her mouth when she saw her sugar daddy behaving in such a manner. She leaned her delicate body against George in an attempt to please him. However, something even more unexpected happened. George pushed her away and said coldly, "Get lost! Don't bother me! "
At this moment, George was very annoyed. The second guess that Connor gave him had been proven to be correct. His father, Mr. Harvey, actually went to test his "little brother" Olsen's wizard talent. With Olsen's attitude of hating him to the bone, if Olsen really became a wizard, wouldn't he, George, die without a burial place?
George felt a chill down his spine when he realized the danger. He immediately wanted to have a discussion with Connor. If it wasn't for the fact that he had an affair with Sophia, he would have already kicked her out. Now that Sophia dared to provoke Connor, she was truly courting death!
Sophia was shocked by George's anger. She had already compromised, so why was George still treating her like this? Sophia's eyes turned red. She covered her mouth and ran away.
"You don't have to do that." Connor and George moved to another hidden corner in the hall. He took a sip of his wine and said to George in a flat tone, "Don't worry about it.
"Connor, I'm sorry about what happened just now …" George smiled at Connor apologetically.
Connor laughed and punched George's chest. "You don't have to be so polite to me!"
George heaved a sigh of relief in his heart when he saw that Connor's expression was normal, and that he was not angry because he had unintentionally revealed the matter of him taking a loan from the Sanchez Bank to Sophia in bed.
"Tell me, what did you find?" Connor changed the topic and asked in a low voice.
Although Connor didn't ask him to say anything, George knew exactly what Connor was asking him about. He scanned the surroundings vigilantly. After confirming that there was no one else around, he whispered to Connor, "Fortunately, Connor, you reminded me to tell my mother about the two speculations you told me. After that, my mother and I split up and started investigating. The day before yesterday, before I found out anything, my mother secretly told me about it. She found out from the old man's secretary that my father didn't go to Rece that day. Instead, he went to Fray Town!"
When George said the words "Fray Town", his deep voice revealed a hint of desolation. He was very clear that his old man was hiding his whereabouts. It was not as simple as just visiting Olsen. His purpose was very likely to be as Connor had guessed, to test Olsen's talent as a Magus. Once Olsen's talent was tested and he became a Magus, Mr. Harvey, who had been astute all his life, would definitely know what kind of harm it would bring to George. Yet, this old man still did it without any hesitation!
"The knights your family is keeping should be protecting Olsen!" Connor said calmly after a moment of silence.
Although Connor's words were a little off topic, George reacted quickly. He was not surprised that Connor knew about his family's secret knights. He thought for a while and nodded. "At least two Grand Knights!"
"I have four thousand pounds with me. I was planning to repay my loan. If you need it, you can take it first!" Connor said in a deep voice as he patted George's shoulder. He knew that although George was rich, a lot of his money was in the account of his family's business, Sanchez Bank.
Their old man had arranged for a group of knights that the family had secretly raised to protect Olsen. If they wanted to eliminate Olsen completely, they would need to hire an expert. The price of hiring an expert wouldn't be just a few thousand pounds, it would be at least tens of thousands of pounds …
Most importantly, once Olsen died, George's father, Mr. Harvey, would know that it was George who did it without leaving any clues at the scene. However, before that, George couldn't reveal anything. This meant that he couldn't use the money in Sanchez's bank account. Otherwise, if George used so much money, his father would definitely be alerted.
George smiled at Connor and said in a low voice, "I've been in this business for so many years. I don't have much money, but I can still get the money to kill that bastard. Connor, you don't have to rush to repay your loan. There's a contract, so don't talk too much!"
Just as Connor and George were about to continue chatting, the welcome banquet officially began under the watchful eyes of the crowd.
Connor's Uncle Desilio, Loen Mayor Mr. Spalletti, and Loen Church of the Storm Bishop Edward walked into the banquet hall with smiles on their faces. Their positions were very interesting. Logically speaking, Spalletti and Edward were the hosts while Desilio was the guest. Thus, Desilio should walk on both sides while Spalletti or Edward walked in the middle. But in reality, Desilio walked in the middle, Edward walked on Desilio's right, and Spalletti walked on Desilio's left.
Although it seemed a little strange, Connor, who was looking at the three big shots, carefully thought about the relationship between the Loen Empire and the Church of the Storm. He was not surprised by their positions. Loen was adjacent to the Ocean of Storm. Since the day the Church of the Storm was established, it was within the traditional sphere of influence of the Church of the Storm. Although the laws of Loen were not written in black and white, everyone in Loen, from small merchants to rich merchants, knew that the Church of the Storm enjoyed a special status and special rights in the Loen region that they did not have anywhere else in the empire.
