In the bar.
“Mr. Guthrie, this is my friend. He was just joking before. He had no intention of offending you. I will ask him to apologize to you now. Please don’t be angry…”
When Justin saw Mr. Guthrie, he quickly ran to Mr. Guthrie and took the initiative to plead for Connor.
“Connor, hurry up and apologize!”
Sonia knew that this might be Connor’s last chance.
However, after Connor raised his head and looked at Mr. Guthrie, he smiled disdainfully and continued to play with his phone.
Seeing that Connor didn’t pay attention to him, Mr. Guthrie’s back broke out in cold sweat. His legs went soft, and he actually knelt on the ground.
“Mr. Guthrie…”
Zalden and the others were stunned for a moment, then they quickly ran to Mr. Guthrie’s side and helped him up.
After Mr. Guthrie stood up with difficulty, he pushed aside the people beside him and walked to Connor’s side. Like a pug, he respectfully said, “Mr. McDonald, it’s… it’s you.”
When everyone heard Mr. Guthrie’s words, they were incomparably shocked.
However, what was even more shocking was that Connor actually ignored Mr. Guthrie and continued to play with his phone.
Mr. Guthrie didn’t dare to say anything and just stood there quietly.
The atmosphere in the bar suddenly became strange.
Everyone’s faces were filled with doubt and puzzlement. The originally aggressive Mr. Guthrie didn’t dare to speak after seeing Connor, and he even stood respectfully beside Connor.
Connor kept his head down and played his game.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the bar was unusually strange.
After about five minutes, Connor finally passed the level with the equipment he bought.
After passing the level, Connor put down his phone and stretched his back. He smiled and said to Mr. Guthrie, “The two of us are quite fated to actually meet here…”
“Indeed… We’re indeed quite fated…”
Mr. Guthrie replied in despair. He didn’t even know how to describe his feelings.
Never in his dreams would he have thought that he would run into Connor even though he had already moved to Newtown.
“Looks like the previous incident hasn’t taught you a lesson. You’re still so arrogant now!”
Connor continued.
“No, I won’t dare…”
Mr. Guthrie was so frightened by Connor’s words that his legs went soft, and he almost knelt in front of Connor again.
Seeing this so-called Mr. Guthrie being scared to this extent, he could only smile helplessly, not knowing what to do.
Connor felt that he and Mr. Guthrie were actually quite fated, because everything he was experiencing now seemed to have started from this person.
And this person was none other than Brandon Guthrie, who had snatched Mandy Hines from Connor!
Even Connor himself didn’t expect to meet an old acquaintance like Brandon in Newtown.
When Brandon found out who Connor really was, he chose to drop out of the Porthampton University and came to Newtown to stay with his relatives.
Brandon was just an ordinary rich younger generation. Naturally, he didn’t have as much power as Connor. It was absolutely impossible for him to drop out of Porthampton University and go to another school. Therefore, he relied on the living expenses given by his family to fool around in Newtown.
However, Brandon’s luck was still pretty good. After coming to Newtown for less than two months, he got to know Peyton Ledger, and then became Peyton’s lackey for a period of time. As Peyton’s power gradually expanded, Brandon also became a little famous in Newtown.
Some time ago, Brandon took out a few million from his family and opened this bar.
Peyton symbolically announced that this bar was opened by him and Brandon.
Brandon originally thought that he could finally stand firm in Newtown, but he did not expect that he would meet the person he was most unwilling to meet.
Brandon even wondered if Connor had deliberately come to Newtown to find trouble with him. Otherwise, he was all the way here in Newtown, so how was it that he would meet Connor here?
“Just now, I said that I wanted to break your friend’s legs. Do you have any objections?”
Connor asked Brandon with a smile.
“No, no…”
Brandon didn’t even think about it and quickly shook his head at Connor.
At this time, everyone could feel the abnormal fear on Brandon’s face, and his legs were constantly trembling.
Everyone couldn’t understand what was going on. Why did the arrogant Mr. Guthrie act like he had seen a ghost when he saw Connor?
Justin stood rooted to the ground with a stiff expression, not knowing what was going on.
Sonia’s eyes flashed with a trace of shock. She suddenly realized that they might have underestimated Connor’s identity. His background must be very shocking, otherwise Brandon would not be so afraid.
The others were all dumbfounded. They had no idea what was going on.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. What happened back then is already in the past. No matter what, the two of us can be considered old acquaintances. To be able to meet again in Newtown is like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. I won’t do anything to you…”
The current Connor no longer had any hatred toward Brandon, so he softly comforted Brandon.
“…”
When Brandon heard Connor’s words, he was in disbelief and couldn’t help but look at Connor.
“Alright, today is the opening day of your bar. You should go do what you have to do.”
Connor waved his hand gently at Brandon.
“I can go now?”
Brandon looked at Connor and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva as he asked in disbelief.
“Of course…”
Connor nodded.
Brandon instantly felt a sense of relief. Without any hesitation, he turned around and left with his men.
After seeing Brandon and the others leave, everyone revealed a puzzled expression, as if they couldn’t understand what was going on.
Just now, it was clearly Brandon who came to find trouble with Connor, but now it was more like Connor was looking for trouble with Brandon.
Mr. Guthrie, who was previously boasted by everyone to have a heaven-defying background, had actually become such a coward in front of Connor?
For a moment, everyone present felt that their brains weren’t able to comprehend what was going on.
After hesitating for a moment, Kaira could not help but turn to look at Connor. She asked him with a very puzzled expression, “Connor, what’s going on? Do you know the owner of this bar?”
“Yeah, Connor. What’s going on? I heard that Mr. Guthrie knows Peyton, so why was he so afraid of you just now?”
Justin also hurriedly asked Connor.
…
