Connor took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully.
Then, he asked Jorge with a puzzled expression, "What is this? Is it worth anything?"
"You can't buy this jade pendant even if you have money!"
Jorge said softly.
"What kind of jade pendant can't be bought with money? You're not fooling , are you?"
Connor said with a frown.
"This jade pendant is my personal possession. Everyone in the ancient martial arts world basically knows or has heard of this jade pendant. So, if you encounter any danger next ti, just take out this jade pendant. I think most people will give face…"
Connor was speechless when he heard Jorge's words. He pouted and said, "Here I was thinking that it's so sort of treasure. I didn't expect it to just be a jade pendant. Do you have any other treasures? I want sothing else…"
"No. I only have this one."
Jorge said.
Connor looked at Jorge and hesitated for a couple of seconds before saying helplessly, "Alright then, it's better to have it with I guess…"
After saying that, Connor accepted the jade pendant. Then, he stood up and stretched. He looked at Jorge and asked, "Then, I can leave now, right?"
"Sure, but you'd better not fight with others during this period of ti. After all, your tendons and vessels are still in the healing stage."
Jorge reminded Connor.
"Alright, I understand…"
Connor looked at Jorge and nodded lightly. Then, he didn't say anything else and walked out of the room.
After leaving Jorge's house, Connor was still very excited.
After all, he had finally obtained the Soul Returning Pill, so the most important thing for him now was to find Freya.
And this ti, in order to find the Soul Returning Pill, Connor paid a very great price. Not only did he almost lose his life, but he also owed several favors.
Of course, Jorge, Thomas, Rachel Wallace, and the others' favors were manageable. After all, Connor would be able to et them often in the future.
However, Connor didn't know how to repay Jason and Temira because he didn't know when he could et these people again.
Connor thought about these things as he reached out to hail a taxi. Then, he rushed to Porthampton Airport. He wanted to return to Newtown as soon as possible to find Freya Phillips.
In the taxi, Connor took out his phone and dialed Freya's number.
However, Freya's phone had been switched off. This made Connor suddenly have a bad feeling, so he kept urging the driver to drive faster.
Ten minutes later, Connor boarded the plane nervously.
5 PM.
Connor finally arrived at Newtown. After leaving the airport, he took a taxi to Freya's company.
During this period, Connor kept calling Freya, but no one picked up. This made Connor even more uneasy.
After he arrived at Travio Corporation, he ran straight to Freya's office.
Because many people already knew that Connor was Freya's boyfriend, no one dared to stop him.
Soon, Connor arrived at Freya's office.
However, when he arrived at her office, he realized that there was no one inside.
Connor's head buzzed. He suspected that Camila Yearwood had discovered sothing.
Connor hesitated for a mont before heading straight to Benson Sharp's office.
At this mont, Benson was flirting with his secretary. When he saw Connor co in, he was shocked. He quickly pushed the secretary away and asked Connor nervously, "Mr... Mr. McDonald, what's going on?"
Connor glanced at Benson's secretary and said expressionlessly, "Leave us!"
"Yes, Mr. McDonald!"
The secretary replied nervously, then hurriedly turned around and walked out of the office.
"Where's Freya?"
After the secretary left, Connor asked Benson.
"Mr. McDonald, Miss Phillips just went abroad today. There's a problem with a project in the U.S.. She had to go over and deal with it…"
Benson replied.
"The U.S.?"
Connor beca even more nervous when he heard that. He then asked Benson, "Are you sure she went to the U.S. because there was a problem with a project?"
"Of course, I'm sure. I was the one who was following up on this project. I originally planned to go there myself, but Miss Phillips said that she hasn't seen her mother in a long ti, so she went on behalf of …"
Benson said confidently.
"..."
After knowing that Freya was going to et Camila, Connor seed to beco even more nervous.
"Mr. McDonald, is there sothing you want to talk to her about?"
Thomas asked Connor softly after so hesitation.
"No…"
Connor replied in a low voice, then turned around and left Benson's office.
Thomas looked at Connor's back in confusion. He couldn't understand why Connor was so nervous.
After leaving Travio Corporation, Connor took out his phone and wanted Thomas to help him book a flight to the U.S.. Connor was still worried about leaving Freya alone in the United States. He was worried that if Camila didn't let Freya co back, it would be troubleso.
But before he could find Thomas's number, his phone rang.
When Connor saw that it was Freya calling, his eyes flashed with excitent, and he quickly picked up the phone.
"Connor, did you call just now? I just got off the plane and didn't receive your call just now…"
Freya said softly.
"Freya, did you go to the U.S.?"
Connor asked.
"Yeah, there's a problem with the company's project, so I ca over to deal with it…"
Freya replied.
Connor hesitated for a mont before saying, "Freya, are you safe in the U.S.?" Do you want to go over and look for you?"
"Why would you do that? I ca here to deal with the company's business. I'll go back after I'm done with work here. I won't have ti to accompany you at all."
Freya felt that Connor must have missed her because he had not seen her for a long ti, so she was very happy.
"Alright, then…"
Connor helplessly agreed.
