"You're … Connor?" Upon hearing the familiar voice, George burst into a shout of surprise. Then, he opened the door of his bedroom and dashed out.
The joy of reuniting after a long time made the two of them hug each other in the living room of the villa. When he calmed down a little, he immediately noticed that the three men who were in charge of guarding him in the villa were acting strangely.
"It's nothing. I drugged them to make them lose consciousness temporarily. They'll recover on their own in two hours without leaving any traces behind. They won't notice anything strange either!" Connor seemed to have noticed George's doubts and took the initiative to explain without waiting for George to ask.
After hearing Connor's explanation, all the doubts in George's heart disappeared and he nodded in relief.
Looking at the unshaven, unkempt George in front of him, who seemed to be in low spirits, Connor, who had long regarded George as his true friend, was in a terrible mood. He couldn't help but ask with concern, "How did things turn out like this?"
"Sigh … It's a long story. Connor owes you ten thousand pounds. It might take some time before I can return the money to you!" George smiled bitterly and said with a lonely expression.
"What are you talking about, George? Ten thousand pounds is nothing to us. You can give it to me when you have it. If you don't, then forget it! The key now is what happened to you! "Connor said with a serious expression and said angrily.
Touched, George patted Connor on the shoulder. After pondering for a moment, he recalled and said, "That day, after our discussion, I took the ten thousand gold pounds you lent me, the ten thousand gold pounds from my mother's private stash, and the three thousand gold pounds I already had. Bypassing my family, I gathered a total of twenty-three thousand gold pounds. With this sum of money, I used my uncle's connections to introduce me to Cagliari in the imperial capital, Bernabeu."
"Cagliari? That assassin organization? " Hearing George mention Cagliari's name, Connor frowned slightly and asked in a low voice, "That's right.
It's Cagliari! I didn't expect you to know about it too, Connor! " George nodded affirmatively. He seemed to be very surprised that Connor knew Cagliari's name.
"Don't forget that my family is a hereditary noble!" In response to George's doubts, Connor rolled his eyes and swiftly gave George a seemingly reasonable explanation. In fact, Connor had heard of the name Cagliari during a gathering at the Menxing Club. It was said that Cagliari was a very secretive assassin organization, and very few people knew of their existence. They were powerful and efficient, and they would not ask you why. Most importantly, it was said that this assassin organization called Cagliari had Magi, and more than one of them! As long as you could afford it, they could assassinate anyone for you!
"That's true. Your family has been around for hundreds of years!" George didn't doubt Connor's explanation at all. He thought for a while before continuing, "The rumour was right. There were indeed magi in Cagliari. To be on the safe side, we had to get rid of that bastard Olsen. I gave all of the twenty-three thousand gold pounds that we collected to Cagliari. Cagliari also sent two intermediate apprentice magi and two grand knights to carry out the mission …"
"What happened in the end?" Connor couldn't help but ask when George paused at the end of his sentence.
"To be honest, I don't know what happened in the end. Did Olsen die?" George shrugged and said helplessly, "That night, after the assassins sent by Cagliari went to the manor where Olsen was locked up, I waited at home for their news. However, the next morning, I didn't receive any news from them. Instead, my father came. He beat me up viciously and locked me up here. He didn't allow the outside world to contact me. By the way, Connor, how did you know that I was here?" George asked curiously.
"Your mother, Lady Christine, sent a personal maid called Nasha to tell me that you were locked up here. She asked me to come here and talk to you!" Connor quickly thought about the problem that George was facing and told him without hesitation.
"Little Nasha! When I get out of here, I'll definitely reward this little girl! " When George heard Connor mention little Nasha, he forced a smile on his bitter face. Seeing that Connor didn't say anything and was deep in thought, George forced a smile on his haggard face. He patted Connor's shoulder again and comforted Connor, "Don't worry about it. During the time that I was locked up here, I've already thought it through. That little bastard Olsen might have been killed by the people from Cagliari. His bones might have turned into ashes by now!"
"No matter what, I, George Sanchez, am still the first successor of the Harvey family. The fact that the old man could be so ruthless as to lock me up here and not let the outside world have any contact with me shows how angry he is. What could make him so angry?" George Sanchez thought to himself. Although the old man didn't say it, I'm 80% sure that his precious baby, Olsen, was killed by the people from Cagliari. Maybe Olsen's body has already turned into ashes by now! " George said with a cold smile. When he said the words' precious baby ', there was an obvious hint of resentment towards his father, Mr. Harvey.
"I've been keeping track of the time since I was locked up here. I've been here for more than two months. I think the old man is going to let me out soon. Although I have three younger brothers and two older brothers, under the suppression of my mother and I, my five brothers have never been involved in the family business. They have always been taking money from the family and hanging around in all kinds of brothels to drink and fool around."
"They've long been synonymous with trash in the clan. Although I'm locked up here and have no contact with the outside world, I'm sure that the old man must be under a lot of pressure. 3 months should be the limit. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be out soon!" George calmly analyzed to Conner, "Don't worry, Conner, don't worry, Conner, don't worry.
