Connor Strikes Back
Therefore, his future, the Gray Family, and Triforce Enterprise were already foreseeable. In reality, he
wasn’t afraid of death. After all, it was too unlikely for him to find a replacement kidney as he suffered
from such an illness. The only fate awaiting him was death, as he only had less than two years left to
live.
However, he was worried about Julia and Rina. What would happen to them after he died? At the
moment, he could still stand his ground against Toby and Sonia with some difficulty, but no one would
be able to protect Julia and Rina when he died.
Though he felt that he was indebted to his wife, he owed too much to his daughter. The moment Rina
came into being in Julia’s womb more than 20 years ago, he had vowed to do his best to protect the
child regardless of whether it was a son or a daughter. Alas, he failed to keep his word after Rina was
born, causing her to be abducted and thrown into the river by Henry. Although he didn’t know how she
had survived in the end, he was still unable to forgive Henry’s actions, nor could he excuse his failure
to protect his own daughter back then.
Now that Rina had finally returned, he wanted to make it up to her initially, but he didn’t manage to do
so in the end. Instead, he dragged Rina into the feud between the Gray Family and the Reeds, causing
her to live in fear. All of this made him feel even more of a failure as a father.
Titus pounded his chest in remorse. Regardless, a hint of determination flickered in his wrinkled eyes.
No matter what would happen to the Gray Family in the end, he had to arrange for his wife and
daughter’s escape before the day arrived. At the very least, he couldn’t let them fall into Sonia and
Toby’s hands. Whatever it was, he’d take it on alone!
Meanwhile, Connor, someone whom Toby was also dealing with, was also in trouble.
Connor liked to listen to opera. Since he mostly stayed in the hotel, his only entertainment was to watch
videos of past opera performances in the video room. Just when he was watching the opera in
fascination, Xander came in hurriedly, saying, “Mr. Salzburg!”
He opened his eyes with a gloomy expression. Then, he turned to look at Xander with a sinister and
ferocious look in his eyes, and he said, “I told you last time not to barge in all of a sudden when I’m
listening to opera. This is already your second time committing the same mistake.”
Xander knew that his abrupt actions had angered his boss, so he quickly lowered his head in fear while
apologizing, “Sorry, Mr. Salzburg, but something serious has happened this time.”
“What’s the big deal?” Connor asked unhurriedly while grabbing the walking stick next to him.
Obviously, he didn’t think much of what Xander had said.
When Xander saw this, he felt even more anxious. He promptly replied, “Mr. Salzburg, our goods in
Westsanshire have been intercepted at customs.”
Connor immediately stopped rubbing his walking stick when he heard Xander’s words. The next
instant, his face turned ghastly pale. Then, he stared at Xander intensely as he asked, “What did you
say? You mean someone intercepted our goods?”
“Yes, Mr. Salzburg.” Xander nodded repeatedly. “Just half an hour ago, I got a phone call from our men
stationed at the customs checkpoint. They said that a bunch of people had suddenly popped up and
seized our goods.”
“Half an hour ago, huh…” Connor’s face contorted as he could no longer keep his gentle and indifferent
expression; perhaps this was his true colors. “Who did it?” he asked in a chilly voice while clutching the
dragon’s head on his walking stick with all his might. Finally, he continued, “I’m going to throw that
person into the ocean to feed them to the sharks. How dare they mess with my goods? I bet they’re
tired of living!”
Xander shook his head as he continued his report. “Nobody knows who did it, but according to our men
at the customs checkpoint, a bunch of people arrived before the men we’d sent to receive the goods.
Not only that, but instead of seizing the goods through illegal means, they openly took the goods away
from the customs checkpoint with documents issued by the related departments in their hands. Also,
according to our men, those documents were genuine, as they bore the official stamps of the related
departments. So, I think the person who intercepted our goods was definitely not an ordinary person.”
“Of course, they’re not.” Connor looked ferocious. “If that person were so easy to deal with, how could
they manage to seize the goods openly with documents that bore the official stamps of those
departments? I don’t believe that the customs have no idea that the batch of goods is ours. Yet, despite
knowing this, the customs and the related departments dared to issue documents for that person to
seize our goods. This only proves that the person has a powerful background and is on excellent terms
with the higher-ups.”
“Who would it be, then? I don’t remember us having offended such a person before.” Xander frowned
in puzzlement. They were indeed audacious, but they had brains. Usually, they wouldn’t mess with
such bigwigs on their own initiative, which was why he was confused about why such a figure would
want to deal with them.
Connor narrowed his eyes as he sneered. “Did you forget that we’d offended such a person before?
Isn’t Toby such a person?”
Xander gaped in shock. “Sorry, Mr. Salzburg. I forgot about him.”
“It’s not your fault. After all, none of us would’ve expected Toby to do such a thing.” Connor’s
expression was still gloomy. “What a surprise. I’ve always been the one who snatches things from
others; no one has dared to snatch things from me. This is the first time my stuff has been taken away,
but I can’t go to that person or even sort him out immediately. So this is how awful it feels to be unable
to vent my anger or pour out my grievances, huh?” he said in self-deprecation, but his face gave no
indication of that. It was apparent that he was only poking fun at himself.
When Xander closely regarded Connor’s bloodshot eyes, he asked gingerly, “Mr. Salzburg, if this is
really Toby’s doing, then what should we do about—”
Connor raised his hand to interrupt Xander. “Don’t overthink this matter. We can never get the batch of
goods back. Toby can easily get back what he wants from us, but it’s almost impossible for us to get
back our stuff once it falls into his hands. We’re not as powerful as he is, so we can’t go to him directly
and warn him to return our stuff.”
Xander looked worried, though. “But that batch of goods is essential. We ordered it from a foreign
supplier at a huge cost before the turn of this year. So now that goods are finally delivered only for such
a thing to happen, we’ll have trouble with the factory.”
Connor looked up and shot an impassive glance at him. “What’s the use of saying these things right
now? What’s happened has already happened, and we can never get back our stock. So what else can
we do other than to solve this with money, as Paradigm Co. did? That being said, I’m much wealthier
than Paradigm Co. So it’s not that I can’t afford to lose money for such things.”
Xander became less perturbed once he heard that Connor already had a solution for the problems. So,
he pushed his glasses up his nose as he looked at Connor, saying, “Say, Mr. Salzburg, do you think
Toby is doing so to get back at us for intercepting Sonia’s goods last time? After all, Toby intercepted
our goods using the same trick this time.”
Connor rubbed the dragon’s head on his walking stick slightly before shaking his head slightly. “No, I
don’t think so. He’s gotten his revenge after we got hospitalized during the previous incident, so he
wouldn’t go so far as to get back at us twice for the same reason. It’s obvious that he’s not taking
revenge for what happened previously, but what he’s doing this time is also for Sonia’s sake. Don’t
forget what happened to her today.”
Xander realized what he meant. “Are you referring to how we hired trolls to spread rumors about her?”
Connor didn’t give a definite answer. Instead, he added, “There’s nothing else other than this incident.
However, this is a good thing since it can make us understand further how much Sonia matters to him.
Of course, I can’t snatch the goods back, but it doesn’t mean that I’m willing to swallow this in silence to
avoid further trouble. Call Toby’s men later and ask them if he has decided whether he still wants the
item his mother left behind. I’ll give him one more day to think about it. If he doesn’t want it, then don’t
blame me for what I’m going to do.” He smiled maliciously.
