Chapter 1028: The Peninsula Club
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After returning to the hotel, Connor and Priscilla went back to their rooms to rest.

Although Connor slept last night, he fell asleep again not long after returning to his room.

At 3 pm, Connor sent Priscilla to the airport.

Freya probably wouldn’t be back anytime soon, so Priscilla had nothing to do here alone. Connor felt that it was better to let her go back first.

After Priscilla boarded the plane, Connor walked to the hotel alone.

As he walked through this completely unfamiliar city, he felt that everything was so fresh and unfamiliar.

He thought that this was how he must’ve felt when he first came to Porthampton, except that he had nothing at that time.

But now, Connor already had something that ordinary people would pursue for their entire lives—things difficult to obtain.

Wealth, power, status.

Ordinary people worked hard for their entire lives just for these few things.

However, now that Connor had everything, he felt that he was not as confident as before. Previously, when he had nothing, Connor felt that his life had already fallen to rock bottom, so even if things could get worse, it couldn’t get that bad.noveldrama

As a result, Connor was fearless at that time. However, Connor might not have the courage to start all over again now because he knew that if he took a wrong step, he might fall into the abyss.

“Ding!”

Just as Connor was about to reach the hotel, his phone suddenly rang.

Connor quickly took out his phone and answered the call. Then, he said softly, “President Morgan, have you settled everything?”

“Mr. McDonald, please don’t call me President Morgan. I’m not used to it!” Thomas said with a smile.

“Isn’t that what everyone calls you? You’re used to others calling you President Morgan, but not me?” Connor said lightly.

“They are them, and you are you!” was the response.

Connor blinked. “…Alright, let’s get down to business first. How’s progress on the thing I asked you to do?”

“There’s some trouble with the transfer…” Thomas answered.

“What trouble did you encounter?”

Connor thought that transferring schools would be a simple matter, but he didn’t think that it would be troublesome.

“Mr. McDonald, if you want to apply for a transfer, it will take a long time to complete the procedures—at least three to four months. I thought it would take too long, so I discussed this with the principal of the Porthampton University and arranged for you to be an exchange student…”

Thomas said slowly.

“Exchange student?”

Connor could not help but be stunned when he heard this.

“That’s right…” Thomas nodded slightly and continued, ” Mr. McDonald, you are still a student of the Porthampton University. However, you can attend classes at Newtown University as an exchange student. You can leave whenever you want. In the end, the graduation certificate you receive will be from Porthampton University. It won’t affect you at all…”

“I didn’t know this was even an option,” Connor said in surprise after hearing Thomas’s words.

“Hehe, of course. There’s nothing in this world that can’t be solved with money. If there’s something that can’t be solved, it might be because you don’t have enough money!” Thomas said with a smile.

“That makes sense…”

Connor nodded and continued to ask, “Then when can I report to Newtown University?”

“The procedures will be done in two days, so you can head over then,” Thomas replied.

“Alright, thank you for your hard work. What about the other two things?”

“I’ve also settled the other two matters. I just called the general manager of the Empire World Corporation’s Newtown branch. He has already booked a private room in the hotel. You can meet him and talk to him about the rest…” Thomas said slowly.

“Alright, then send me the location of the restaurant. I’ll go over and look for him later!”

Connor knew that Empire World Corporation had a lot in common with Rockefeller Consortium. This was probably because both Rockefeller and Empire World Corporation were established by Steven Lee.

The Empire World Corporation had branches all over the country. Different people in charge were responsible for different areas. They did not interfere with each other, but they could cooperate. These people were all managed by Thomas Morgan.

It could be said that in the Empire World Corporation, Thomas was the person standing at the top of the pyramid, but Connor was the owner of this pyramid.

Rockefeller also had a similar management model, but the identity of the people in Rockefeller was usually concealed, while the Empire World Corporation could freely show their faces to the public.

The advantage of Rockefeller’s management model was that once they encountered any trouble, the people above Rockefeller would not be implicated. Therefore, Rockefeller ran some shady businesses all over the world, some even involving firearms.

As for the Empire World Corporation, they could only do some formal business. At most, they could only get in touch with the shadier areas of business

If anything happened to the Empire World Corporation, Connor and Thomas would be greatly impacted.

“By the way, Mr. McDonald, if you encounter any problems in Newtown in the future, you can directly contact the general manager of Newtown. He will help you deal with it!” Thomas added.

“Are you not going to care about me anymore?”

Connor asked with a smile.

“You can order me to do things in Porthampton, but you can look for him for things in Newtown. After all, he is more familiar with the situation in Newtown than I am. Even if you want me to help you, I’d still have to contact him in the end…” Thomas explained.

“Alright, I understand!”

Connor nodded lightly and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Connor received a message from Thomas.

Then, Connor went to a place called the Peninsula Club based on Thomas’s information.

Connor simply observed the situation outside the Peninsula Club. He could feel that this club was a very formal club. Although there were not many people coming in and out, they were all dressed very well. Connor obviously did not fit in with the others.

At this moment, a waiter walked up to Connor and asked, “May I know what you need?”

Because the Peninsula Club was a membership club, and there were very few members to begin with, the waiter could tell that Connor was not a member at a glance.

“I’m here to look for someone!”

Connor replied softly.
