Chapter 876: You’re A Smart Man
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After leaving the room, Connor went downstairs directly to the hotel entrance.
At that moment, there was indeed a person standing at the hotel entrance.
And that person was none other than Leroy!
“I didn’t expect Leroy to be quite thoughtful…”
Connor couldn’t help but exclaim inwardly.
Whether it was in the hotel’s private room or the action of Leroy sending the waiter to find Connor just now, it could be seen that he was an intelligent person.
After hesitating for a moment, Connor walked directly towards Leroy’s position.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Leroy quickly turned around and, upon seeing Connor, he hurriedly walked to his side, speaking in a tense tone, “Mr. Connor, you’ve come to our resort without notifying my father beforehand? If you had informed my father, this misunderstanding wouldn’t have happened…”
Connor could tell that Leroy’s expression at the moment was filled with fear.
“Do we know each other? I don’t think I’ve seen you before…”
Connor casually replied to Leroy.
“Mr. Connor, I followed my father to participate in the Four Provinces Martial Arts Competition. I always stood behind my father. You might not have noticed me, but I saw you…”
Leroy hurriedly explained.
“I see.”
Connor nodded lightly and continued to ask Leroy, “Did you have something to talk to me about?”
“I came here specifically to apologize to you. I was afraid of exposing your identity, so I didn’t dare to approach you earlier…”
Leroy replied in a low voice, then continued, “Mr. Connor, I was disrespectful before, and I hope you won’t hold it against me…”
“You didn’t recognize me before, and I didn’t intend for you to recognize me, so I won’t blame you!”
Connor replied softly, then looked at Leroy and asked expressionlessly, “By the way, since you already recognized me in the private room, why didn’t you reveal my identity?”
“I… I…”
Leroy wiped the sweat from his face with his hand, looking somewhat nervous.
“Just say whatever you want, no need to be nervous,” Connor said casually.
“Mr. Connor, to be honest, I was a bit nervous when I saw you at first, so I didn’t say anything. Later, I overheard the conversation between you and your friends. I realized that your friends didn’t know your identity, and since you didn’t inform my father when you came here, it meant that you didn’t want these people to know your identity. So I didn’t say anything, but I don’t know if what I did was right or wrong!”
Leroy explained slowly.
“It’s true that I didn’t want too many people to know my identity. You are a clever person, and in the future, when you take over the business of the Jovi family, it should thrive even more!”
At this moment, Connor had a favorable impression of Leroy. He thought that Leroy had more brains than many rich heirs.
“As long as you don’t blame me, that’s good!”
After realizing that he did the right thing, Leroy secretly felt relieved. If he had actually exposed Connor’s identity, things could have become troublesome.
“Alright, you don’t have to be so restrained with me. We are peers, and I think you have some intelligence. If you encounter any troubles in the future, you can come directly to me. Considering your decent performance this time, I will help you depending on the situation!”
Connor said to Leroy expressionlessly.
“Mr. Connor, are you… Are you serious about what you said?”
Leroy was completely astonished by the unexpected appreciation from Connor. His face showed an extremely excited expression.
“Remember what I just said. You are an intelligent person. If you take over the Jovi family in the future, your family’s business will definitely reach new heights. But the prerequisite is that you have to be obedient, understood?”
Connor reached out and patted Leroy’s shoulder, saying calmly.
“I understand, I understand…”
Leroy nodded eagerly with an excited tone.
In fact, Leroy had always wanted to please Connor. Being able to find a powerful backer like him meant that the Jovi family could expand their influence in San Antonio just like Kyle did, which would be a great opportunity for them.
Connor’s thoughts were also quite simple. San Antonio was still somewhat distant from Davenport so it was not realistic to expect Kyle to extend his power over San Antonio.
Therefore, he was deliberately trying to win over Leroy at this moment, hoping that the Jovi family, where Leroy belonged, could help him control the territory of San Antonio in the future.
Leroy was an intelligent person, and his style of doing things also made him feel comfortable. Thus, Leroy was the best choice for him in San Antonio.
Now, Yakov was in San Francisco, Kyle was in Davenport, and Leroy was in San Antonio. The only province left was San Diego.
So, he just needed to spend some time to have a good conversation with Jonathan in San Diego, it would be of great help to him in dealing with the Rockefeller people in the future.
Everything Connor was doing now was in preparation for his future confrontation with the Rockefellers.
“Mr. Connor, should I call my father now and ask him to come and meet you?”
After seeing that Connor remained silent, Leroy cautiously asked him.
“No need. I’m just staying here with my friends for a couple of days. I’ll be leaving the day after tomorrow. You don’t have to be so formal…” Connor said softly to Leroy.
“Alright, I understand.”
Leroy nodded quickly.
“If there’s nothing else, you can go back now,” Connor said softly to Leroy.
Leroy was taken aback for a moment when he heard Connor’s words, but then he hurriedly said to Connor, “By the way, Mr. Connor, I didn’t know your identity before. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have arranged for you to stay in this hotel. I’ll have our best villa prepared for you, and you can move in tomorrow…”
“It doesn’t have to be the best villa, an ordinary one will do,” Connor thought that the others should also enjoy themselves, so he did not refuse Leroy’s proposal.
“Alright, I understand…”
Leroy nodded quickly and then turned and left.
After seeing Leroy leave, Connor stood in place for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and then shouted expressionlessly towards the distance, “Stop hiding, come out!”
