Harley got annoyed at once the moment he understood Connorâs attitude. What was that attitude?
Apparently, this guy didnât take what he said seriously.
Harley had thought that Connor would make a sincere apology immediately. In that case, he would give Connor a lighter punishment. But so far, Connor had still been adamant.
"Arenât you afraid that Dragon Queen will blame you?" Harley asked in a low voice.
Connor raised his head and stared coldly at Harley. Although Harley was Dragon Queenâs henchman, Connor had also experienced a lot. Besides, Connor had relied on himself to get where he was today, and Harley could never have the same sophistication that Connor had in his eyes.
Harley swallowed and had a bad feeling. He mustered up his courage and said in a louder voice, "I warn you, youâd better calm down, or youâll come to a bad end."
"Then what are you going to do?" Connor didnât fall out with Harley. It would be best if things took a favorable turn, but Connor knew very well that even so, he would also pay a heavy price.
Harley thought Connor compromised, and put on that smug look again, saying, "Itâs very simple. Turn against Topyuan Group, and Dragon Queen will bury the hatchet with you and not blame you anymore."
Connor narrowed his eyes slightly, and glanced subconsciously at Maximilian behind him, who said nothing. No matter which way Connor chose, Maximilian wouldnât blame him.
Connor plunged in thought. Now he already offended Dragon Queen, so he could never offend the young master of the Dragon Sect. He didnât want to play some dangerous game at the gate of hell. It was not a wise thing for him to do.
"So, have you thought this through?" Harley asked, his tone full of sarcasm.
At last, Connor answered, "I have."
Harley gave a confident smile, believing that Connor would definitely choose to turn against Topyuan Group. After all, any wise man would make such a choice.
However, Connorâs answer was totally beyond Harleyâs expectation. Connor refused decisively, "Since Iâve already taken sides, I will never change sides. Therefore, I refuse to turn against Topyuan Group."
"You!" Harley almost burst with anger. He asked in a cold voice, "Arenât you afraid that Dragon Queen will blame you?"
Maximilian was completely taken aback by Connorâs choice. He had assumed that Connor would choose to seek refuge with Dragon Queen. However, judging from Connorâs choice, Maximilian was also aware that Connor chose to be on the same boat with him.
Maximilian gave a smile. Connor had made a wise choice. Now that he chose to support Maximilian, Maximilian couldnât let him down.
Connor pretended that he heard nothing as if he was talking with an idiot, and ignored the furious Harley. Suddenly, Harley took notice of the three personal bodyguards behind Connor, and his eyes rested on Grace.
It was because Grace had such a beautiful and curvy figure. In addition, her body was wrapped in the black close-fitting top perfectly. As a perv, Harleyâs attention was drawn by Graceâs figure instantly.
Although Grace was wearing sunglasses, Harley could still tell that she was a beauty from her great figure.
"Mr. Davies, I didnât expect that you should have such a unique taste in bodyguards. Where did you find this female bodyguard with such perfect figure?" Harley rubbed his hands. He was drooling over Grace the moment he caught sight of her body.
Although Harley had slept with countless women and seen many beauties, he had never tried some stunning female bodyguard like Grace. Harley believed that it must be an interesting thing to do.
Connorâs face darkened the moment he heard Harleyâs words. Connor didnât know about Graceâs identity, but the only thing he knew about her was that Grace was a friend of Maximilianâs.
If Connor made a promise curtly, wasnât he making a decision for Mr. Lee? What if Grace was Mr. Leeâs type?
"Well, I just found her out of the blue." Connor waved his hand and said, wanting to change the topic.
"If thereâs nothing else, may I leave now?"
Harley got annoyed at once. He gave such a broad hint to Connor, yet Connor was actually pretending that he didnât get him? Harley was sure that Connor did that on purpose.
Harley had also planned to bargain with Connor, but Connor just didnât stick to his script, which made Harley so angry.
"Mr. Davies, how about this? Of course you can leave here, but she has to stay." Harley said with a grin. He only let Connor go for now.
But later, Harley would turn to Dragon Queenâs power. Anyway, Harley would get rid of Connor sooner or later, so there was no rush now.
Connor was no idiot either. How couldnât he tell that Harley was threatening him? If he left now, he might die.
Conversely, if he didnât leave now, he could get in big trouble.
Harley sneered at Connor and said, "Think it over, or youâll feel regretful for the rest of your life."
Connor cast a look at the shadows hovering out of the window subconsciously. He could also see that those shadows were armed.
Just at this moment, Graceâs voice suddenly rang out, "Since Mr. Chang said so, donât be bothered with it anymore, Boss Davies."
Harley was delighted at Graceâs words. It didnât occur to him that Grace would take such initiative. He licked his lips subconsciously.
Connor stole a glance at Maximilian, dumbfounded. He never expected that Grace would offer herself, which was far from what he had imagined.
Meanwhile, Maximilian was also astonished. He didnât expect that Grace would chime in. Based on his knowledge of Grace, she wouldnât offer herself to Harley so easily.
Just when Harley was about to stand up, Grace pressed the dagger against his neck rapidly. As long as she pushed a little deeper, Harley was sure to die.
Feeling the deadly coldness against his neck, Harley was stupefied by the unexpected situation. It didnât occur to him that things would go awry so suddenly. If he hadnât seen it with his own eyes, he wouldnât believe that this was happening.
Meanwhile, Connor was extremely shocked too. Everything just happened so soon. But on second thought, if Grace didnât make a move, Harley might have taken actions long ago.
Harley swallowed and warned Grace, "Youâd better cool down, or youâll die a tragic death. For your information, my snipers are waiting in ambush. If something happened to me, they would definitely do something to you too."
However, Grace gave a smile. "Itâs alright. What goes around comes around."
