Chapter 1006
As Connor had said, he was indeed eager for revenge, but he wouldn''t really kill thetter right
away to save trouble. If he were to do that, he would ruin the aplishments Norman had made
with his own life.
Given Norman''s past contributions, the country wouldn’t hold him ountable for killing Connor, but
it would use Norman''s meritorious exploits to cancel out the impact and trouble caused by him
killing Connor like that. Norman had performed meritorious deeds at the cost of his own life, so it
really wasn''t worth it to use them to cancel out the problems caused by Connor''s death. He wouldn''t
do that either, so he would use the most righteous means of revenge: he would find the evidence of
Connor''s crimes before requesting the top guns to let him execute Connor in person. He believed
that they wouldn''t turn down such a request. As long as he didn’t do anything reckless and cause
hundreds of thousands of people to lose their jobs or their families, the authorities would definitely
satisfy him for Norman''s sake.
Connor''s grip on the dragon''s head on his walking stick tightened when he heard Toby''s words.
However, he loosened his grip with a dismissive smile soon afterward, saying, "Is that so? In that
case, let''s see what you''re capable of."
Toby raised his chin slightly while looking down at Connor with the aid of his height. "You won''t be
disappointed. I just hope that you won’t beg me for mercy when the dayes."
Naturally, Connor didn''t like it when Toby looked at him with contempt like this. However, he couldn''t
do anything about it because of thetter''s height, so he had no choice but to put up with it while
barely managing to keep smiling. "Of course I won''t." "Good to hear that," Toby replied coldly with
his hands in his trouser pockets. Then, he threatened airily, "I hope you’ll have the spare parts
delivered to Paradigm Co. within an hour. Otherwise, even if I can''t take your life at the moment, I
can make you suffer. Try me if you don''t believe it."N?velDrama.Org ? content.
Connor replied with a chuckle, "Rest assured, son. Since I''ve promised to return the spare parts, I
won''t put it off, of course. So there are some things that you can''t do even if you want to."
Toby''s eyes flickered slightly. "Is that so? That''s too bad. I was hoping that you could be a bitte." If
this old man does so, I''ll have a reason to give him trouble.
Connor let out another chuckle. "Now that you''ve fulfilled your purpose ining here, I wonder if
you can talk about my purpose."
"What do you want?" Toby squinted.
Connor stood up as well. "As you know, I''ve never set foot in Seafield over the past 30 years. Now
I''m here for my only daughter."
"So Anya really is your illegitimate daughter?" Toby cut him short.
Connor lowered his eyes to conceal the look in them. "Of course. What''s wrong? Are you
suspecting that she isn''t my daughter?"
"The police have told me about the way you interacted with Anya. It''s hard for me to believe that
you two are father and daughter," Toby replied, admitting straightforwardly that he didn''t believe it.
Connor smiled calmly. "I see. No wonder you''re suspicious. It''s normal for you to be suspicious,
though. It’s true that I''m not nice to my daughter. After all, she is a disgrace to a man. I believe that
you''d also be like that if you were me." "That''d be impossible." Toby''s thin lips curled into a cold
sneer. "Firstly, I''m not like you. I wouldn''t keep on saying that I love someone while getting involved
with another woman out there at the same time, nor would I produce a love child. Not only do you
treat your illegitimate child badly, but you even regard her as a disgrace. Didn''t you bring disgrace
upon yourself by giving way to your lust?"
One could say that these words unceremoniously blew Connor''s cover and exposed the most
hypocritical side of him to the sun. An illegitimate child was indeed a disgrace to a man. However,
the disgrace wasn''t brought by the illegitimate child; it was brought by the man upon himself for
failing to restrain his urges. Connor was such a man. Despite being the one in the wrong, he put all
the me on his illegitimate daughter, thinking that it was thetter’s presence that had brought
disgrace upon him. Thinking that he had done nothing wrong, he put his actions out of his mind.
Such a man was a typical example of selfishness, and such a selfish person usually loved
themselves the most. They would never fall in love with anyone else.
So, my mother... Toby sneered inwardly in mockery. Did you see that, Mom? Such is the man you
love.
Little did Connor think Toby would say such things without sparing his feelings. Perhaps because he
knew that Toby was right and that he was such a person, he found thetter''s words uneptable
at this very moment. For a moment, he got so exasperated that he stared at Toby with bloodshot
eyes. He uttered sinisterly between clenched teeth, "Don''t you worry that I''ll get angry when you say
these things?"
Tobyughed as if he had heard a cosmic joke. "Do you think I should be worried?" He took a step
forward to close in on Connor. With his height and hismanding presence, he was more
outstanding than Connor in every aspect. Moreover, he was a fierce tiger in its prime, whereas
Connor was already an old wolf in the twilight of its life. It was a no-brainer which of them would win
if they were toe head-to-head. In terms of presence alone, Connor was several notches below
him, for he totally suppressed Connor.
"I''m not at all worried about whether you''ll be unhappy. Even if I kill you right now, no one would
dare to say anything, so you should be d that my grandfather''s meritorious service is saving your
life for the time being. Don''t get ahead of yourself and forget whose territory this is and who you''re
facing. Are you even qualified to threaten me?" He looked down at Connor with a mercilessly cold
look in his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead person.
Connor had always thought he was the one who brought the fear of death upon others in his life.
However, he never dreamed that he would feel the fear of death brought upon him by somebody
else one day. Furthermore, that somebody was a young man 30 years his junior. Such a blow was
indeed a humiliation to him. At the same time, it made him realize that he was indeed getting ahead
of himself. He had forgotten that he was in Seafield, not Westsanshire. Also, he had forgotten that
the person he was facing wasn''t any of those who had feared him in the past, but the demon king
who harbored grudges against him but was of a much higher status than he was. This was his
mistake.
Seeing how Connor fell silent with a darkened expression, Toby withdrew his gaze. "I have a rough
idea what your purpose is. You want me to let Anya off, so you first went to my woman. But you
failed, which was why you intercepted herpany''s spare parts to threaten her."
Connor''s ringed thumb moved slightly to rub against the dragon''s head on his walking stick. "You''re
right. I thought she was a persuadable and soft-hearted woman, so I went to her after arriving in
Seafield. I thought it’d be easy for me to achieve my goal. As long as she was willing to forgive
Anya, I could offer doublepensation. However, she turned me down, so I had no choice but to
resort to this. Still, I didn''t think that my n would fail. She’s even more stubborn than I imagined.
She refuses to relent even under such circumstances."
"She''s my woman. If she were to give in so easily, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with her," Toby said
through his thin lips without concealing the pride in his voice.
"Is that so?" Connor''s eyes flickered.
Toby then said, "On the other hand, you intercepted the goods to coerce my woman when you failed
to reach your objective. Don''t you worry that I''ll get angry when you do so?"
