"Right, right. How could I forget about that!"
Janson looked at Rachel and smiled. He did not continue to ask about this matter.
Connor looked at Rachel and heaved a long sigh of relief. Fortunately, Rachel reacted quickly just now. Otherwise, he really didn't know how to explain that away.
"Grandpa Wallace, I heard from Rachel that you seed to have known long ago that I would inherit Steven Lee's inheritance. What exactly is going on?"
Connor hesitated for a mont before asking the question he wanted to ask the most.
"Steven and I are old acquaintances. We got to know each other when he was in Oprana. He ntioned you to , so I knew that Steven would definitely leave his inheritance to you in the future!"
Janson explained calmly.
"Steven talked about "
When Connor heard this, he seed a little excited. He hurriedly asked, "Then Grandpa Wallace, do you still rember what Steven told you back then?"
"I don't rember. It's been too long!"
Janson shook his head and added, "He probably didn't say anything important. I can only rember your na now…"
Connor looked at Janson and did not say anything. Although Janson did not admit it, Connor could feel that things were definitely not as simple as Janson said. There must be sothing else. Otherwise, Janson would definitely not be able to confirm that Connor was Steven's heir just by looking at his na.
However, Connor did not dare to continue asking. After all, if Janson did not want to say anything, Connor would not be able to get anything out of him no matter how hard he tried.
"I also heard that you are Jorge Yarrell's disciple?"
At this mont, Janson asked again.
"Yes, I am!"
Connor lightly nodded.
"You're Steven's heir and Jorge's disciple. These two identities put together is of equal status to the Wallace family!"
Janson said softly.
When Rachel heard this sentence, she clearly eased up a lot. After all, this was also a kind of affirmation from Janson toward Connor.
"But as a man, you can't always rely on your relationship with other people. Sotis, you need to beco stronger yourself, because only when you are strong yourself can you be truly strong!"
Janson spoke again.
"Yes, sir!"
Connor hurriedly nodded.
"I don't know if Rachel has told you about her past, but Rachel's fate is the sa as yours. She lost her parents when she was very young and has always been by my side. Since Rachel has chosen you, you have to protect her well…"
Janson looked at Connor and said.
"Grandpa Wallace, don't worry. I'll definitely protect Rachel!"
Connor said firmly to Janson.
"Don't be so certain. First of all, these people from the Wallace family have always wanted to marry Rachel off to a young master from a big family. Therefore, your appearance will definitely incite their hatred. You have to be prepared. Also, Rachel's parents died in the hands of Rockefeller's people. Rachel will also beco enemies with Rockefeller in the future. Are you sure you're ready to protect her?"
Janson looked at Connor and asked.
"I'm ready!"
Connor nodded.
"..."
Janson looked at Connor and hesitated for a couple of seconds. Then, he smiled and said, "It isn't enough to say that you are. I know you have so background, but your background is not enough to protect Rachel. I need you to prove to that you have the strength!"
"Grandpa, although Connor hasn't learned ancient martial arts for a long ti, he's already a black-rank martial artist. I believe that Connor will be able to protect in the future!"
Rachel hurriedly said.
"He's already a black-rank martial artist?"
When Janson heard Rachel's words, he was a little surprised.
"That's right, I'm a black rank now!"
Connor lightly nodded.
When Janson found out that Connor was a black-rank martial artist, the way he looked at him changed.
Janson himself was also a black rank, so his understanding of ancient martial arts was definitely deeper than that of ordinary people.
Connor had only been learning ancient martial arts for less than a year. It was very terrifying to reach such a realm in just a year. Even in the entire Oprana, it was very rare.
"You're indeed Jorge's disciple. You've only been exposed to ancient martial arts for such a short ti, but you've already reached such a high realm. Why don't you go and compete with my bodyguard and let see how strong you are?"
Janson asked with a smile.
"Grandpa, what are you doing? Connor has just arrived at our house…"
Rachel seed to be sowhat dissatisfied as she exclaid.
"If you're not willing to do it, then forget it It's just a suggestion!"
Janson replied with a smile.
"Since Grandpa Wallace wants to see my strength, then let's give it a try!"
But at this mont, Connor suddenly said.
"..."
Rachel subconsciously turned to look at Connor with a complicated expression.
"Alright, I like your character!"
Janson was very satisfied with Connor and shouted with a smile.
Connor glanced at Rachel indifferently, as if telling her not to worry.
Connor knew very well that Janson was deliberately testing him.
If Connor didn't agree to do it, Janson's perception of him would be greatly affected. If Connor agreed, Janson's impression of Connor would change regardless of the outco.
"Rachel, let's go to the backyard!"
Janson whispered to Rachel.
"Okay!"
Although Rachel was unwilling to let Connor fight with the Wallace family's people, she had no say in it since Connor had agreed. She could only support Janson as they walked to the backyard.
Connor followed closely behind them.
A mont later, the three of them arrived at the backyard.
Although Janson was also a martial artist, because he was really old, he was already panting after walking for a few minutes.
'I didn't expect that even martial artists would grow old one day!'
Connor could not help but sigh to himself.
Janson sat on the chair and said to the butler, Uncle Simmons, "Simmons, go and ask Ferdinand to co here. Let him compete with Connor!"
"Ferdinand?"
Rachel was stunned when she heard this.
Although Rachel knew that Janson wanted to test Connor's strength, Rachel didn't think that Janson would ask for Ferdinand Wallace.
Ferdinand was considered a very outstanding guy among the three generations of the Wallace family. Although he wasn't as heaven-defying as Rachel, he was now a black-rank martial artist. He was very strong, and he had a great advantage even when facing martial artists of the sa level.
