"Once this is over, I will return the money to you as soon as possible!" George said seriously.
"It's up to you. I originally planned to scam Holdin to return your family's loan. Now that the loan is gone, I'll just treat it as returning it to you!" Connor shrugged and said indifferently.
The corner of George's mouth also squeezed out a smile. His old man was aware of his actions. Although George's heart sank, he also understood that this was actually within his expectations. After all, as the successor of the family, there were a lot of people around him who were arranged by his old man to help him take over.
Although he had tried his best to investigate on the basis of secrecy, the news still leaked out. Fortunately, from what Connor said, the old man seemed to not know that he already knew about Olsen's talent as a sorcerer. He thought that by sending Olsen to the New World and never coming back, he would be able to fool him!
As the saying goes, "Help in the hour of need is a friend indeed." George was originally worried that his old man had discovered his actions and how he could get the money to hire an assassin without attracting his old man's attention. Connor's 10,000 gold pounds solved his urgent need. 10,000 gold pounds could be said to be a huge sum of money. It was enough to fight a war of a thousand people!
"Be careful. Don't look for an assassin in Loen. Spend more money and it's best to find one in the Imperial Capital. Your old man has experts around him. When he threatened to burn down my apartment if I didn't say anything, three Grand Knights and a guy far more terrifying than a Grand Knight locked onto me!" Connor reminded George solemnly.
"Connor, the guy you mentioned is far more terrifying than a Grand Knight. Is he a guy wearing a green cloak?" George seemed to have thought of something when he heard Connor's reminder.
"I don't know. I only know that he locked onto me and warned me not to do anything desperate. I didn't see his figure at all!" Connor said regretfully. Although he was confident that as long as he released his mental strength with the help of the Silver Light Pendant, the guy hiding in the dark would definitely be exposed, it was obvious that Connor couldn't do that in a banquet like this.
Hearing Connor's words, George didn't say anything else. The two chatted about other things before George left.
After finishing all the complicated matters, Connor began to research on how to overcome the three major difficulties of alchemy puppets in his apartment as usual.
A week later, with the help of the auxiliary A.I. Chip, Connor had basically overcome the first difficulty of refining alchemy puppets. He had already figured out the magic rune that could allow alchemy puppets to have simple intelligence. Theoretically speaking, the magic rune could also be mass-produced!
After overcoming the first difficulty, Connor became spirited and prepared to work hard to overcome the remaining two difficulties. However, Connor encountered a problem. He simulated over 100 methods in the auxiliary A.I. Chip to reduce the energy consumption of magic stones, but the results were barely satisfactory. Connor tried his best but could only save 5% of the energy consumption. However, this 5% was a huge difference in the effect that Connor expected. As time went by, Connor's patience was gradually worn out as he couldn't find a breakthrough. He became more and more impatient.
Realizing that his current state of mind was not suitable to continue researching, Connor decisively decided to stop his research. Coincidentally, he had run out of ingredients in his apartment and needed to go shopping. Thus, in a bad mood, Connor decided to go shopping in the mall to relieve his boredom!
Pushing the shopping cart, Connor searched for things that he was interested in in the Empire Department Store. As long as he was interested in something, he didn't even look at the price and directly put it in the shopping cart. In a short while, Connor's shopping cart was full.
With Connor's current cultivation, he could live for a long time even if he didn't eat or drink. However, Connor enjoyed the joy and satisfaction that food brought him. This was one of his few hobbies, and Connor didn't intend to change this hobby!
Just as Connor paid for the first cart of items he bought and loaded the items into the carriage he hired and was about to return to the Empire Department Store building for another round, Connor coincidentally caught sight of a figure.
It was someone who didn't know Connor, but Connor knew him. And in a sense, Connor had to thank him for having so many powerful enchanted items. That's right, he was the previous owner of the alchemy furnace in Connor's hands — Mr. Emory.
After seeing Mr. Emory appear, Connor's eyes subconsciously focused on him. Mr. Emory didn't have many bodyguards around him. His clothes and appearance were also very different from when he was normal. If it wasn't for the fact that Connor did a lot of research on him when he was researching how to snatch the alchemy furnace, Connor wouldn't have believed that this ordinary-looking middle-aged man who seemed to be shopping in the Empire Department Store was the famous Loen tycoon, Emory.
At this moment, Mr. Emory, who was disguised as a middle-aged man, seemed to be searching for the items he liked on the shelves, but his eyes betrayed his true thoughts. His attention wasn't on the items at all. Instead, he was observing the people around him from the corner of his eyes. Connor felt that he was waiting for someone to appear. Upon realizing this, Connor immediately hid and secretly observed Mr. Emory's every move.
Connor was almost certain that Emmery was related to the secret society. Therefore, Connor was very curious about what Mr. Emmery was doing at the moment. Since he had become like this, it was obvious that he was doing something shady. Was Emmery waiting for the people from the secret society to contact him?
Another thing that interested Connor was that he clearly remembered that the person in grey who made a deal with him at Kaipa Building that day was Emory's Grand Knight, Herrera. Connor felt that Herrera's transformation from an ordinary Grand Knight to such a strange appearance must have something to do with Emory. All of this made Connor very interested in Emory …
