"How did Yannick know I was dead?"
Connor's expression showed so confusion.
"Mr. Connor, what exactly is going on here? When Yannick said you were already dead, it didn't seem like he was lying to . He appeared very confident..."
Thomas was no fool, and he couldn't simply believe Yannick's claim that Connor was dead. However, everything that had happened seed too coincidental. He had lost contact with Connor for a few days, and that's when Yannick showed up. Moreover, Yannick knew that Connor had gone to Crimson Peak.
"I ran into Draco from Comtar inside Crimson Peak. He almost killed , but I was lucky enough to survive..."
Connor replied casually.
"I see!"
Thomas nodded thoughtfully and continued, "So, how did Yannick co to know that you were in trouble, Mr. Connor?"
"That's what puzzles ..."
He sighed softly and continued, "Draco was searching for the Soul Returning Fruit for the McDonald family, so they must have known I was in danger. If the McDonald family knew, they would have inford Flitch Xylon. So, I guess Yannick must have chosen to ally with Flitch. After all, if he helps Yannick gets Steven's heritance, the biggest enemy of the Silver rchant in Oprana would disappear."
"Mr. Connor, your reasoning makes sense!"
Thomas quickly nodded.
"Unfortunately, Flitch didn't expect that I didn't die in Crimson Peak..."
Connor couldn't help but sneer.
"So, Mr. Connor, what's your plan now?"
Thomas asked, looking at him.
"This Yannick is just a small player. There's no rush to deal with him. Let him revel for a couple of days. I'll handle him after I sort out Freya's situation."
At this mont, Connor didn't really consider Yannick a significant threat. After all, Yannick was just a puppet in Flitch's hands.
"Alright..."
Thomas nodded in agreent.
"Where is Freya now? Take to see her."
Connor told Thomas.
"I'll take you there right now."
Thomas agreed and began to walk towards the exit of the villa.
However, when he saw Leah, he couldn't help but pause and softly say, "Why does this beautiful lady look familiar?"
"Hello, I'm Leah Langlie!"
Leah introduced herself promptly.
"I rember now. Miss Leah, you seem familiar to !"
He chuckled.
"Do you know ?"
She blinked her eyes, her tone puzzled.
"I know your father. He's in the steel business. Back then, I had a chance to visit your Comtar with Mr. Steven. There was a young man in dire straits who wanted to commit suicide, but Mr. Steven saved him and even provided him with money to start a business. That young man should be your father, Ferb Langlie. You bear so resemblance to him, so when I saw you, I felt a sense of familiarity."
Connor was surprised to hear this story from Thomas because he didn't expect that the woman he had t by chance, Leah, had a connection with Steven.
"That's right. My father is indeed in the steel business, and he told about the person who helped him when he was struggling. However, he never t that person again after that."
Leah's expression also beca excited, and she spoke softly, "My father often ntioned that soone had shown great kindness to him during his most difficult ti. What a small world!"
"Indeed, it's a small world!"
Thomas chuckled and continued to lead Connor out of the villa.
"Mr. Connor, please follow ."
After leaving Thomas's villa, Connor followed him to Josiah's house.
Diana, Carlos, Waverly, and others had been living in Josiah's house 24/7 to protect Freya. Her ward was off-limits to anyone else to ensure her safety.
When Diana and the others saw Connor again, their expressions were full of excitent. They had also heard the rumors that be had died in Crimson Peak, but they never believed it. In their eyes, he could not have died so easily.
"Mr. Connor, I knew you wouldn't die..."
Diana said with excitent in his voice.
"Yeah. There are rumors outside that you're already dead, but I never believed it..."
Waverly quickly added.
"In Crimson Peak, I did indeed face a life-or-death situation, but I was lucky enough to co back alive..."
Connor replied with a smile.
"Mr. Connor, I heard that Draco from Comtar might have died. Do you know who did it?"
Waverly hesitated for a mont and asked Connor in a low voice.
"I killed Draco..."
Connor said calmly.
