Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Connor heard Jorge’s words, he could not help but hesitate for a moment.
Then, he gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, “I’ll go!”
Connor knew that if he wanted to become Jorge’s disciple, he would definitely have to pay something. If he continued to fight with this stupid gorilla, Connor did not know how long it would be dragged out.
Therefore, he might as well seize this opportunity and take a gamble.
“Are you sure you want to go?” Jorge’s eyes flashed with surprise.
“Yes!”
Connor nodded again.
“At least you still have some backbone!” Jorge smiled and continued, “The Flora Festival will be held in three days. You can go there when the time comes…”
“No problem, I got it!” Connor looked at Jorge and nodded his head. Then, he continued to ask, “Um, is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first…”
Connor knew that he would not be able to come back in a day or two after going to the Medicine Kings’ Valley to handle some business, so he was prepared to go back to Porthampton University and ask for leave from Rachel Wallace.
Jorge looked at Connor and hesitated for a moment. Then, he reached out and took out a medicine bottle from his pocket. He handed it to Connor and said softly to Connor, “If you go to the Medicine Kings’ Valley and encounter any danger, take this pill. It might be able to save your life…”
“What is this?”
Connor looked at the medicine bottle in Jorge’s hand and asked in confusion.
“You don’t have to know what this is. You just have to remember that this thing can save your life, but if you don’t encounter anything life-threatening, don’t eat it casually, understand?”
Jorge said calmly to Connor. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
A strange look flashed across Connor’s eyes. “Is this poison?”
“Hehe, if I wanted to harm you, would I have to poison you?” Jorge asked with a smile.
“That’s true. You’re so powerful. If you wanted to harm me, you would have done it long ago. Moreover, if I died, who would you scam money from?” Connor smiled and took the medicine bottle from Jorge’s hand. Then, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Jorge narrowed his eyes and looked at Connor’s back. No one knew what he was thinking.
After Connor left Jorge’s house, he hailed a taxi and rushed towards Porthampton University.
After getting into the car, Connor took out his phone and dialed Thomas’s number.
Thomas answered the call quickly and asked respectfully, “Mr. McDonald, what’s the matter?”
“I might have to go to the Medicine Kings’ Valley in a few days. I’m telling you in advance in case you can’t find me if you have any problems…” Connor said softly.
Thomas was stunned for a moment before he asked in a low voice, “Mr. McDonald, are you planning to attend the Flora Festival?”
“You actually know about the festival?”
Connor sounded shocked.
“Our Empire World Corporation also has some pharmaceutical industries. Medicine Kings’ Valley is the most famous large-scale medicinal herb trading market in the country. Of course I know that place…” Thomas explained slowly.
“So that’s how it is!” Connor nodded lightly and said expressionlessly, “See, that old man Jorge asked me to collect some herbs for him. As long as I can find these herbs, Jorge will take me in as his disciple, so I have to go over there…” “Mr. McDonald, what medicinal ingredients do you need to collect? You can tell me directly. I can help you collect them…” Thomas hurriedly said.
“No need. There are some things that I need to do personally. My trip to the Medicine Kings’ Valley this time is not as simple as just collecting medicinal herbs…”
Connor said slowly.
“Alright then…” Thomas helplessly agreed and then continued to ask, “Mr. McDonald, the Medicine Kings’ Valley is quite far from Porthampton. How do you plan to get there?”
“Probably by train or bus!” Connor replied after thinking for a moment.
“That’s fine too…” After Thomas heard Connor’s words, he nodded gently and continued, “Then I’ll ask Carlos and Diana to follow you there. After all, there are many outsiders in Medicine Kings’ Valley, and they are all people whose backgrounds are unknown. If anything happens, Diana and the others will be able to protect you, Mr. McDonald…”
Although Thomas knew that Connor’s current skills were very powerful, he felt that it was more appropriate to let Carlos and Diana follow him just in case. “How about only Carlos follow me? Isn’t it a little inconvenient for Diana, a girl, to follow us two guys?” Connor frowned and replied.
“Mr. McDonald, you may not know this, but Diana has been in Medicine Kings’ Valley for a while, so she knows the situation there very well. If you bring her with you, she will definitely be of great help!” Thomas hurriedly said.
“In that case, get the two of them to go with me…” Connor helplessly agreed.
“Alright, Mr. McDonald, if there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up first. I’ll go and inform Carlos and Diana!” Thomas said slowly.
“Good!”
Connor nodded lightly and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Connor realized that he had already arrived at the school gate of the Porthampton University.
However, since Connor had been on the phone the whole time, the taxi driver didn’t rush him.
The taxi driver turned his head and said to Connor with a smile, “Young man, we have arrived…” “Thanks!”
Connor looked at the taxi driver and smiled faintly. Then, he pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Looking at the familiar campus, a hint of helplessness flashed across Connor’s eyes.
He didn’t know how he should explain this situation to Rachel.
After all, Connor did not ask for leave from Rachel when he went to participate in the martial arts tournament. Connor did not know how to explain this to her, either.
And now, he had to come back to ask for leave from Rachel. Connor felt a headache whenever he thought of this matter.
Connor walked into the campus.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he saw a large group of people gathered together as if they were looking at something.
After Connor saw this scene, he was curious as to what was happening, so he walked towards the crowd.
“Dominic and Spencer, why are you two here?”
At this moment, Connor suddenly saw two familiar figures. Spencer was dragging Dominic into the crowd.
When Dominic and Spencer heard Connor’s voice, they turned their heads to look at Connor!
