"If I give you enough money, how long will it take you to collect useful dirt?"
Connor asked.
"I can't guarantee this, but I estimate that I will be able to collect the dirt in less than three months. After all, those people around Watson are also working for him for money. As long as we take out enough money, I believe these people will definitely stand on our side!" Peyton replied after thinking for a mont.
"That's good!"
Connor lightly nodded.
An hour later, Connor and Queta left the hotel.
In order to prevent being discovered by the Zook family, Peyton left after the two of them.
Inside the car.
Queta turned to look at Connor and asked, "Mr. McDonald, what if this Peyton runs away with our money or joins hands with Watson to scam us?"
"You don't have to worry about that. I don't think Peyton has the guts to do that…" Connor replied indifferently and then continued, "I'll get soone to keep an eye on Peyton around the clock. If he does anything abnormal, I'll be the first to find out!"
In fact, Connor had also considered this problem; after all, he had not known Peyton for a long ti. He could not guarantee that Peyton was 100% sincere in wanting to cooperate with him, so he specially asked Yama to follow Peyton around.
Peyton himself was not a martial artist, and Connor was very familiar with Yama's skills, so it was impossible for Peyton to discover that soone was following him!
After Queta heard Connor's words, she knew that Connor had a way to deal with Peyton, so she did not ask any more questions.
"Oh right, I've already promised Peyton that I'll provide him with funds, so if Peyton asks you for money, just give it to him and let know…" Connor said.
"Alright!"
Queta nodded.
Connor looked at the scenery outside the window and did not say anything. Now, he had done everything he could. The last thing to do was wait for news from Peyton.
As long as Peyton could obtain so crucial evidence, Connor was confident that he could defeat Watson.
Although Watson was the head of the Zook family on the surface, he was not without any weaknesses.
Watson's real weakness was the 51% shares in Hudson's hands.
Connor's real plan was to let Peyton collect evidence of Watson first, then think of a way to make Hudson give his 51% shares to Peyton. This way, Peyton could replace Watson's position in the Zook family.
Although the plan was like this, Connor also knew that it was not easy to implent it.
However, it seed that this thod was the simplest and easiest way to deal with the Goz family. It would be even more difficult to use other thods.
…
Half an hour later, Connor returned ho.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and Rachel had already returned from school.
Connor walked to Rachel's side and said, "I went to see Peyton Zook today…"
"How did it go?"
Rachel asked absent-mindedly as she ate her snacks.
"The discussion was not bad. Peyton has already agreed to cooperate with , but I'm not sure whether he can help collect useful evidence or not..." Connor said lightly.
"It is already very good that you managed such a thing. After all, you are not familiar with the people and places in Yarlford. It is not easy to deal with a large family like the Zooks…"
Rachel turned her head to look at Connor. In fact, she also knew that Connor was very anxious now. However, anxiety could not solve any problems.
Previously, Connor could easily solve the problems he encountered in Davenport or Orilon by relying on the connections left behind by Steven Lee. However, the person Connor had to deal with now was the general manager of Rockefeller in Oprana, Yamino Goz. Therefore, so things were not as simple as Connor had imagined.
"Ding, ding, ding…"
Just as Connor opened his mouth to continue speaking, his phone suddenly rang.
Connor thought that Queta was looking for him for sothing, so he took out his phone to take a look. However, when Connor saw the na on the phone, he was stunned.
At this mont, the person who called Connor was actually Freya {hillips.
Freya rarely took the initiative to call Connor in order not to disturb him. Connor would only call her when he had nothing to do.
However, Freya had actually taken the initiative to call Connor, which ant that sothing must have happened.
Connor hesitated for a mont before taking the phone back to his room and answering the call.
"Connor, what are you doing? Why did you only pick up the phone now?" Freya asked with a smile.
"I just t soone to talk about sothing and just got ho. Why are you calling ?"
Connor asked with a smile.
"Can't I call you? Did you do sothing behind my back?" Freya asked jokingly.
"What wrong would I do…"
Connor replied awkwardly.
At this mont, whenever Connor thought of the won around him, he would have a headache. He did not want to do anything to let Freya down, but sotis, he could not control his body.
He was also very conflicted.
"It's good that you didn't do anything wrong!"
Freya smiled and continued, "I called you today because I have sothing to tell you…"
"What is it?"
Connor asked.
"I might have to go to Europe tomorrow. My company has a project that I need to discuss in person. I wanted to ask if you have ti," Freya asked tentatively.
"You want to go to Europe with you?"
Connor understood Freya's aning and asked with a smile.
"Yes, that's it!" Freya hurriedly nodded and continued, "Of course, it's okay if you don't have ti. Actually, it's not a big deal for to go to Europe this ti. I'm just going to discuss a collaboration with soone. I thought that since the two of us haven't seen each other for a long ti, I called you to ask if you could co over…"
"..."
When Connor heard Freya's words, he felt a little guilty. It had indeed been a long ti since he went to see her.
Freya had suggested coming to Yarlford to et Connor, but he had refused her suggestions.
This was not because Connor did not want to see Freya, but rather because the situation in Yarlford was very dangerous, so he didn't want to expose her to danger.
