After listening to Thomas’s analysis, Connor’s face instantly showed a surprised expression.
After all, if it was really as Thomas said, then Rockefeller was just testing Connor’s words.
So, they will definitely target him for a second assassination!
He was fortunate enough this time to successfully escape by jumping into the river.
But if Rockefeller’s people find more skilled assassins, he may not have an easy time surviving.
“Mr. Connor, you are now the only person who poses a threat to Rockefeller. Because they are well aware of your relationship with the Chairman, they will definitely try every means to eliminate you!” Thomas said softly to Connor.
“But 1 haven’t officially taken over the company yet, and 1 haven’t posed any threat to them. Why are they so eager to come after me? What benefit do they have in killing me?” Connor asked in a low voice, looking at him.
“The only benefit for them in killing you is to eliminate a potential threat. Rockefeller’s subordinates have always been ruthless in their actions, so it is normal for them to come after you. But 1 can’t understand why they are in such a hurry, why they moved against you so quickly when you haven’t posed any threat to them.” Thomas wondered.
“If it is indeed Rockefeller’s subordinates who attacked me, then this is definitely not the last time. 1 think they will definitely send assassins again in the future…” Connor said with some concern.
“Mr. Connor, next, I will have Diana and Carlos follow you closely. This way, we can also protect your safety.”
“Even if they are always by my side, it is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause. After all, no matter how skilled they are, those people from Rockefeller can definitely find a way to kill me…” Connor said helplessly.
Thomas looked at him hesitating for a moment, then said, “Mr. Connor, I think what you said is right. If we really want to prevent such situations from happening again, the simplest way is to improve your own combat capabilities. Only when your own combat capabilities improve will it be the safest way!”
“I am just an ordinary person. If 1 encounter an average assassin, maybe there is still a chance, but if I encounter a truly professional assassin, I don’t think even with Carlos and Diana, they can necessarily save me!” Connor replied to Thomas in a low voice, then asked curiously, “What do you mean by improving my combat capabilities?”
“Mr. Connor, I know a hidden expert. I think if you can become his disciple, your combat capabilities will greatly improve in a short period of time. Then you will have the ability to protect yourself in such situations in the future!” Thomas said seriously to Connor.
“Hehe…” He smiled helplessly upon hearing this, then said lightly, “Are you suggesting that I become a disciple and learn martial arts?”
“Right now, besides this method, I don’t have any other better options!” Thomas frowned and said.
Connor looked at him hesitating for two seconds, then said in a low voice, “Classes had already started, and I have to go to classes regularly. I simply don’t have time to learn martial arts. Moreover, Rockefeller’s subordinates have already come after me, so it’s too late for me to become a disciple and learn martial arts…”
“I just gave you a suggestion earlier. Ultimately, the decision depends on your own thoughts. All 1 can do now is strengthen your security measures!” Thomas said to Connor.
“Okay, 1 understand your point!” Connor nodded lightly and stood up, looking at Thomas. “Make sure your people keep a close eye on Jack. If anything suspicious happens, contact me immediately. Also, investigate his call records from that night and see if he had any other means of contacting the two assassins!”
“Understood!” Thomas agreed and escorted Connor out of the private room.
By the time he left the hotel, it was already io p.m.
He returned to the Royal Villa alone and, after freshening up, prepared to go to bed.
However, just as he lay down on the bed, his phone suddenly rang.
Connor picked up his phone and saw that it was a call from Yelena.
“Have you arrived at Horizon?” he answered the call and asked with a smile.
“I arrived a long time ago. I’ve been off the plane for two hours already. You didn’t call me, so 1 had to call you. Aren’t you a bit heartless?” Yelena complained in a somewhat resentful tone upon hearing his words.
“I had something going on, so 1 forgot to call you. I actually planned to call you earlier…” he quickly explained.
“Really?” she asked.
“Of course!” He nodded quickly.
“What have you been busy with?” she asked softly.
“It’s nothing, just a bit busy with the start of the new semester…” He didn’t want to disclose everything to her for now, so he made up a random excuse.
She also felt that he didn’t have any serious matters to attend to and that most of it was related to school, so she didn’t ask further.
Connor and Yelena chatted for almost half an hour before she reluctantly hung up the phone.
After putting down his phone, he lay on the bed alone, thinking about the events of the past few days.
If the two assassins he encountered yesterday were sent by Jack, things would have been much simpler.
After all, Jack was just a wealthy second generation, and dealing with him would be a straightforward task for Connor.
But if those two assassins were not sent by Jack, then things might become troublesome.
It wasn’t Jack’s doing, nor was it Yannick’s.
Those two assassins were likely sent by Rockefeller’s subordinates. If that were the case, Connor’s biggest enemy, Rockefeller, would also reveal himself, the case, Connor’s biggest enemy, Rockefeller, would also reveal himself.
But he was not prepared to deal with Rockefeller at the moment, nor did he have the ability to confront Rockefeller’s subordinates.
Buzz!
Just as Connor was contemplating these issues, his phone vibrated again.
He paused for a moment, then took out his phone and saw that it was an unknown number..
