Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After hearing the middle-aged man’s words, everyone present was stunned and turned their heads to look towards the entrance of the showroom.
“You finally came!”
When Connor saw the middle-aged man, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
In fact, what he said to Oscar earlier was just a way to buy time.
Because if the person he called didn’t show up and Harry’s subordinate attacked him, even with the help of the showroom security, he would have no chance of survival.
When the people in the showroom saw the middle-aged man’s appearance, a hint of doubt flashed in their eyes. They had no idea who this middle-aged man was and why he had such a strong presence. His words directly stunned Oscar, Harry and the others.
Ordinary people might not know who the person Connor called was, but Harry and Oscar who were involved in the underworld, were very clear. At this moment, the middle-aged man appearing at the entrance of the showroom was truly terrifying!
They were completely terrified by now, and their expressions were filled with disbelief.
They never dreamed that Connor could call such a powerful figure!
The middle-aged man looked around at Harry, Oscar and the others, then walked toward Connor with firm steps. He respectfully bowed to Connor and said in a soft voice, “Mr. Connor, I’m sorry for being late!”
“It’s fine,” Connor replied casually.
After hearing Connor’s conversation with the middle-aged man, Harry and Oscar took a sharp breath, unable to hide their fear on their faces.
They could clearly feel the tone of respect the middle-aged man used when speaking to Connor. This indicated that the relationship between them was definitely not as simple as friendship!
Harry knew that he had possibly offended someone formidable today, and he looked at Jared in despair, asking with a terrified expression, “Who… who is this Connor? How does he know Kyle Hayes?”
“Kyle Hayes?”
Everyone in the showroom was dumbfounded when they heard this name, their mouths hanging open in shock. They had never expected that Connor would call someone of Kyle’s level, and judging from the way Kyle spoke to him, it seemed like he held Connor in high regard.
Almost everyone in Porthampton had heard the name of Kyle Hayes and knew what he was involved in, but most of them had only heard his name without actually meeting him.
That was why when he appeared at the showroom, most people were left dumbfounded.
Harry, on the other hand, as someone with a prominent position in Porthampton’s underworld, had naturally encountered Kyle.
Kyle’s reputation in Porthampton was quite prominent; he could be considered the top figure in the criminal underworld. He was definitely not someone of Harry’s level who could easily provoke him.
If Harry had known earlier that Connor knew Kyle, even if he had the courage, he would never dare to provoke him so easily!
In Porthampton, offending Kyle was practically equivalent to seeking death.
Harry looked at Connor with a hopeless expression, not knowing how to describe his feelings at the moment.
After recognizing Kyle, Oscar also froze on the spot, with a look of panic, not knowing what to do.
“Oscar, should we make a move now?”
One of Oscar’s subordinates, who didn’t recognize Kyle, thought that the person approaching them was just an ordinary middle-aged man and didn’t seem formidable at all. So he disdainfully asked him.
After hearing his subordinate’s words, Oscar couldn’t help but pause for a moment, then he slapped the subordinate’s face hard, glaring at him and shouted, “Do you want to die? Do you know who that person is on the other side? He’s Kyle Hayes.”
The subordinate covered his swollen face, looking bewildered at Oscar in front of him. After a moment of silence, he stuttered, “Oscar, are you joking with me? This… this person is Kyle?”
At this moment, everyone finally understood why Connor only called one person but could intimidate Harry and his men.
It was not because of anything else, but because that person was Kyle!
The gazes of the crowd towards Connor changed once again. Someone who could command such respect from Kyle must have an incredibly terrifying background.
At this moment, Chloe also finally understood why Connor was so confident earlier and why he could remain calm and composed in the face of Oscar and his men.
She also understood what he meant by even if ten thousand people came, they would not be able to match one person on his side.
Because the person he called was none other than Kyle!
“How does Connor know Kyle?”
She subconsciously looked towards him, her eyes filled with confusion.
Now Chloe seemed to have a new understanding of Connor’s identity. She felt that his identity was not as simple as she had imagined!
Meanwhile, Connor’s expression remained calm, and he turned his head to glance at Kyle, then softly asked, “Did you bring what I asked you to bring?” “I brought them!”
After hearing Connor’s question, Kyle nodded and directly pulled two suitcases out.
“Open them!” Connor commanded.
“Snap!”
Without any hesitation, Kyle unfastened the clasps of the suitcases.
When the two suitcases were opened, the contents were instantly exposed to everyone’s sight, and everyone in the showroom was dumbfounded.
Even Chloe, who was standing beside Connor, was stunned, her expression filled with indescribable astonishment.
Because the suitcases were not filled with anything else, but money!
A large pile of green banknotes!
When everyone saw the money in the two suitcases, they were all dumbfounded, their mouths wide open, their expressions dazed.
“Mr. Connor, one suitcase contains ten million, and there are a total of twenty million here!” Kyle said to Connor.
“Good!”
Connor nodded lightly, then squinted his eyes and looked towards Oscar.
Oscar stared at Connor with a horrified gaze, and even he, who was always composed, couldn’t remain calm at this moment..
