Jaden, Wilhelmina, Tobias and Yasmin believed Connor’s explanation after listening to it. They thought that Jaxon, Herman, and others treated Connor with such respect because they considered him as Mr. Connor from Davenport.
However, Jaden, Wilhelmina, and others also suspected that Connor was an impostor and would eventually be discovered by Jaxon and the others.
If Jaxon and the others were to find out, hisfate would certainly be miserable.
To be on the safe side, they decided not to return to the resort and planned to go back to their respective homes separately.
After parting ways with Jaden and the others, Connor took a bus directly back to Porthampton.
Upon returning, he didn’t choose to go home right away. Instead, he took a taxi to Jorge’s house.
It had been a whole week since Connor had delivered the medicinal herbs to Jorge, as agreed upon.
Connor knew that the incident at the resort had caused a lot of trouble for Jaden and the others. Fortunately, they eventually believed his explanation. Otherwise, if Jaden and the others found out about his identity, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to them.
When Connor arrived at Jorge’s house, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening, and the sky was getting dark.
He briefly glanced at the front door of Jorge’s house and noticed that it was open, indicating that Jorge should have already returned. So Connor walked directly into the courtyard.
Perhaps because it was getting late, Jorge and Jabba were not in the courtyard, but the lights were on in the room.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked up to the door and gently knocked.
“Come in!”
Jorge’s voice sounded.
Connor pushed open the door and walked straight into the room.
He saw Jorge sitting on a chair, reading a book. His expression was calm, as if he wasn’t surprised at all by Connor’s arrival.
“Old man, where have you been these past few days? I came to see you a couple of days ago, but you weren’t home…”
Connor walked up to him and said with a smile.
“I went to San Diego and met some old friends…”
Jorge didn’t hide anything from Connor and answered directly.
“You still have friends?”
Connor’s eyes showed a hint of surprise upon hearing his words.
Connor wasn’t joking when he said that. He was genuinely surprised because in all the time he had known Jorge, he had never seen anyone else come to visit him. Jorge gave Connor the feeling of being isolated from the world.
“Some friends I made when I was young, but we have lost contact over the years…”
He seemed unperturbed and answered calmly.
“Oh, I see!”
Connor nodded lightly and continued, “According to our previous agreement, I helped you find those medicinal herbs, and then you would take me as your disciple. You told me to come back to you after a week, and now a week has passed. Can you accept me as your disciple?”
Jorge turned his head and glanced at Connor, then asked with a serious expression, “Are you sure you want to be my disciple?”
“Of course!” he quickly nodded.
“Then why do you want to be my disciple?” Jorge continued to question him.
“Why else? I just want to learn something from you, for self-protection in the future…”
After thinking for a moment, Connor said slowly.
“But you have to think it through. Once you become my disciple, you may encounter some danger. Being Jorge’s disciple is not an easy task!”
Jorge said calmly.
“What do you mean by that?”
Connor frowned as he looked at Jorge, his expression showing some confusion.
“In the past, when I was your age, I traveled the rivers and lakes and made enemies with many martial artists. Those martial artists have been seeking opportunities to get their revenge on me. But now I have retired and they can’t find me. Even if they do, they are no match for me. However, if you become my disciple, these people might trouble you. Do you understand what I mean?”
Jorge said seriously, looking at Connor.
“Being your disciple is that dangerous?”
Connor seemed speechless, his expression showing disbelief.
“If you regret it now, there’s still time. As long as you don’t become my disciple, these people probably won’t bother you!”
Jorge added.
“Then why didn’t you explain all this to me when I was helping you find the medicinal herbs? What does all this mean now? Did you trick me?”
Connor stared, his eyes wide open, and shouted with great excitement.
“It wasn’t a waste…”
Jorge shook his head gently and continued, “And those medicinal herbs weren’t for me, but for yourself!”
“For myself?”
Connor looked at Jorge, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes, and asked with a frown, “What do you mean by that?”
Jorge didn’t answer Connor’s question. Instead, he took out a medicine box and handed it to Connor.
“What is this?”
Connor took the medicine box, his expression puzzled, and asked Jorge.
A few days ago, I went to San Diego to find an alchemist. That alchemist was a friend I knew when I was young. You’re lucky, that old man is still alive. I had him refine the medicinal herbs you found into a pill…”
Jorge said slowly.
After hearing Jorge’s words, Connor paused for a moment, then quickly opened the medicine box and found a green pill inside.
The pill emitted a faint green light, giving a sense of wonder.
When Connor was searching for the medicinal herbs, Diana mentioned the alchemist and the pills, but this was the first time Connor had seen a real pill.
“What is the use of this pill?”
Connor asked Jorge, his tone filled with confusion.
“This pill is called the Essence Cultivating Pill. It can improve a person’s physique. Due to your previous malnutrition and excessive fatigue, you are not suitable for martial arts. But if you take this pill, your body will undergo significant improvement. By then, the quality of your body will be noticeably enhanced. Even if you don’t become my disciple, it will greatly benefit your combat power. Dealing with ordinary people or even low-level warrior shouldn’t be a problem…”
Jorge explained as he looked at Connor.
