"Uncle?" Hearing the little girl's innocent address, Connor shook his head with a wry smile. When he had just transmigrated to this world, the original Connor was already 23 years old. Adding the four years he had been here, he was 28 years old this year. In this world where the average age was less than 60 years old, it seemed reasonable for him to be called "uncle".
After a moment of melancholy, Connor set out. The Montero Restaurant was written on the note. If Connor remembered correctly, the Montero Restaurant was located opposite the Felix Building not far away. It was only a five-minute walk from his current location.
Five minutes later, Connor arrived at Montero Restaurant. The moment he entered, Connor noticed Varga, who was sitting near the window and wearing an Eusebio mask. Varga also noticed Connor the moment he entered the restaurant. To his surprise, Varga gave him a look.
After exchanging glances with Valga, Connor calmly sat on the 17th seat near Valga, back to back with Valga.
"Sir, is this your first time here? Do you need me to introduce some of our specialties to you? " Seeing that Connor had chosen his seat, a waitress in uniform walked over with a menu in her hand.
"What specialties do you have?" Connor pretended to take the menu from the waitress in order not to arouse suspicion when he saw Varga's look.
We have "first-class filet mignon, fresh squid caught from the dock today, and braised abalone with broccoli …" The waitress introduced the dishes to Connor in a very serious manner.
"Give me a filet mignon, fried squid, and spinach and shrimp soup. Oh, and open a bottle of Prado Blue Classic Series wine for me. Thank you!" As the waitress introduced the menu, Connor casually picked a few items, closed the menu, and returned it to the waitress.
"Sure, sir. Your order will be ready soon. Please wait patiently!" Seeing that Conner had finished ordering, the waitress reminded him and went to greet the next guest.
"Three shillings for a meal? Lord Connor is so extravagant …" Varga joked behind Connor as soon as the waitress left.
Hearing Varga's casual tone, Connor was less confused. He asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"Look at the opposite side!" Varga took a sip of the juice on the table with a straw, then answered Connor's question.
Following Varga's guidance, Connor glanced through the window at the opposite side of Montero Restaurant. It was the famous office area of Loen, the Felix Building. More than a dozen small and medium-sized trading companies were working there. It seemed that some companies were moving. Several moving carriages were parked at the entrance of the building. Some workers with "Logan Moving Company" on their clothes were going in and out of the Felix Building. They were constantly moving sofas, file boxes, and other office supplies out of the building.
Just when Connor was frowning, wondering why Varga showed him this, Varga's soft voice sounded in his ears again. "The company that is moving now is called James Trading Company. It mainly deals in the iron ore business from the Khoy Continent. I followed Mr. Gursey's clues and found the secret stronghold of the Secret Society in Loen. If I'm not mistaken, it should be this James Trading Company. I asked you to meet me at Fabian Square today to show you the company, but when I got here, I found out that the James Trading Company was moving away, so I had no choice but to stay here and keep an eye on it …"
"Don't use your mental strength to check the opposite side. I've confirmed that there's an advanced Apprentice Wizard on the opposite side. Don't alarm them!" Seeing that Connor was about to release his mental strength to check the opposite side after hearing his description, Varga hurriedly stopped Connor.
Hearing Varga's stop, Connor hesitated for a moment, then put down the stronghold he was using his mental strength to check. He whispered to Varga behind him, "Thank you for your hard work!"
"I'm very happy to be able to do something for you, Connor!" Varga lowered his head and said affectionately. After saying this, Varga seemed to have thought of something and continued to whisper to Connor, "I heard that Old Victor's men have been moving around frequently recently. It seems like they're preparing for something big. The people from James Trading Company might have heard something, so they're planning to run away and lie low for a while."
"Do you know who's in charge of the Secret Society in Loen?" Connor thought for a moment, then asked Varga again.
"I don't know about that yet. I only know that the manager of James Trading Company is named Stephen James!" Varga shook his head and replied.
Just as Connor was about to ask something else, the enthusiastic waitress who greeted Connor and a waiter pushed a dining cart filled with delicacies towards Connor.
"Sir, the dishes you ordered are ready!" The waitress quickly placed the two dishes and one soup Connor ordered, as well as a bottle of Prado Blue Classic Series wine, on the table.
Smelling the aroma of the dishes, Connor nodded in satisfaction and handed the waitress a shilling note as a tip. Then, he waved his hand to signal the waitress to leave. However, when only Connor and Varga were left in the corner, Connor and Varga, as well as everyone in Montero Restaurant, looked out the window before Connor could ask Varga again.
They didn't know when a group of fierce-looking gangsters with machetes and clubs had appeared from a nearby alley. They cursed loudly and surrounded the carriage that was moving to James Trading Company. Then, they used the weapons in their hands to beat up the workers of Logan Moving Company who were moving. They also smashed the document boxes of James Trading Company on the carriage. In an instant, there were cries of pain coming from downstairs of the Felix Building. Documents and papers flew everywhere. Several workers of the moving company were beaten up badly, and some even fell into a pool of blood.
Seeing this, Connor and Varga looked at each other. They could see a hint of confusion in each other's eyes.
