1223: Just a Puppet

Just a Puppet

Upon seeing Harold approaching, Connor couldn't help but shake his head and said lightly, "I didn't expect you to have the guts to come and talk to me."2

"Hehe, why wouldn't I dare to talk to you?" He looked at Connor and chuckled coldly, asking without expression.

"Are you not afraid of having your legs broken like Jovan?" Connor calmly said while eating.

"I am me. If you dare to touch me even once, I will make you regret coming into this world!" Harold said with a murderous tone.

"What a big talk. I think it's better for you to stay away from me." Connor said, expressionless.

"You..." Harold could feel that Connor's expression at that moment was extremely disdainful, so he wanted to say something.

"Harold, don't be impulsive!" Arthur quickly reached out to stop Harold. After all, they were at the party of the Heavens Club, and if Harold caused trouble here, not even Arthur could save him.

Furthermore, Arthur came here today to take over Heavens Club, so he didn't want any extra complications or trouble.

"Mr. Connor, are you also here for the transfer of Heavens Club?" Arthur smiled and asked Connor.

"Yes!" Connor nodded.

"Heavens Club is not something that just anyone can get. I see some people come here ostensibly for the transfer, but in reality, they just want to freeload and enjoy the food and drinks. When the time comes, they may not even be able to come up with the starting bid for Heavens Club..." Harold said with a strange tone.

Connor glanced at Harold, his expression somewhat helpless because he couldn't understand why Harold never learned his lesson. Connor had slapped Harold's face not just once or twice, yet Harold still tried to provoke him.

"What Harold said is not wrong. Heavens Club has attracted the interest of many powerful families. So if it's competed through auction, the starting bid will likely be astronomical, and ordinary people can't come up with that kind of money..." Arthur said with a smile.

"Mr. Arthur, I heard that the Synder family is also interested in Heavens Club. I wonder how much money you have prepared this time?" Sheldon walked up to Arthur's side and asked with a smile.

"Our family hasn't prepared a lot of funds, just 2 billion..." he replied calmly.

"2 billion?" After hearing his words, everyone was dumbfounded, their expressions incredibly incredulous.

Because they never expected that the Synder family would be so generous this time.

Connor looked at Arthur, Sheldon, and Harold in front of him. He understood that these three were obviously putting on a show in front of him.

And he was bored at the moment, so he quietly watched their performance.

After all, Sheldon, Harold, and Arthur didn't know that 200 million was nothing in Connor's eyes.

If it was a matter of wealth, even if they looked around the world, there might not be anyone richer than Connor.

Even though Rockefeller was very powerful, Rockefeller didn't belong to a single person.

And all of Steven's industries now belonged to him alone.

"Connor, are you also interested in Heavens Club? How much money have you prepared this time?" Sheldon turned his head and glanced at Connor, smiling as he asked.

"How much money have I prepared?" Connor couldn't help but pause for a moment after hearing Sheldon's words, then said lightly, "I haven't prepared much money!"

"How much is not much?" Harold asked.

"Five million..." Connor casually made up a number.

And after hearing his words, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Connor, are you joking with me? You actually only prepared five million?" Arthur asked with a surprised expression.

"It's just a small club. I think five million is enough!" Connor replied lightly.

"Connor, regardless of anything, you are still Mr. Connor of Porthampton. Don't you have Empire World Corporation? With several billion, you should be able to come up with that. You're simply joking with us by only preparing five million!" Arthur said in a loud voice, trying to humiliate Connor.

He wanted everyone present to know that Connor, as the owner of Empire World Corporation, was only prepared with five million and intended to take over Heavens Club.

And Harold also shouted, "Connor, are you really stupid or just pretending? Five million can't even buy a bar now. What are you thinking?"

"I'm not as rich as Mr. Arthur. Five million is not a small sum for me..." Connor saw that Arthur and Harold were enjoying the play, so he decided to continue with their act.

"You are truly amusing..." Arthur smiled helplessly at Connor and continued, "Actually, I heard a long time ago that you are nothing more than a puppet in Thomas' hands. Now, the one truly in charge of Empire World Corporation is him. At first, I was a bit skeptical, but now I believe it. A mere owner of Empire World Corporation can only come up with five million. You are truly laughable..."

Sheldon, Harold, and others looked at Connor's position, their expressions full of disdain.

Because they believed that he must be a puppet in Thomas's hands, and their fear of him naturally diminished.

Meanwhile, not far away, Jovan wore a helpless expression.

Others might not be clear about who Connor really was, but Jovan knew it very well.

Thomas's deep respect for Connor was deeply ingrained in his heart, so he understood that Connor was just deliberately playing with Arthur and Harold.

If Connor was truly just a puppet in Thomas's hands, then his father had no reason to fear Connor so much.

And Sadie, Sabrina, and others could naturally hear the conversation between Connor and Arthur.

Sabrina knew in her heart that Connor was not a puppet of Thomas, but Sadie found Arthur's words quite reasonable. She had always doubted Connor's identity transformation and couldn't believe that he had gone from a poor scavenger to a background-stunning super-rich second generation.

"So, it was all fake? Connor is just a puppet?" Sadie's expression seemed relieved, and her view of Connor had undergone a significant change.
