Whoosh!

Upon meeting White Mitchell’s gaze, Connor Cooper shuddered, the fear in his eyes intensifying.

At that moment, it as if the grim images of death and carnage were looking back at him through White’s eyes.

Was this the scent of death?

A tremor ran through Connor at this realization. Like a puppet with its strings cut, he stood frozen in place, gripped by an overwhelming fear that he couldn’t shake off.

“I was killing people when you didn’t even know where you were!” White’s voice, like the scythe of the reaper, left Connor on the verge of collapse.

Soon after, Connor’s pants were noticeably damp and exuding a foul smell.

Scared to the point of wetting himself, Connor, who was a moment ago so arrogant, was reduced to a pitiful figure by just one sentence from White.

At this point, Connor had completely lost his audacious demeanor, the only thing left, a pervasive fear. A terror of death.

Frozen on the spot, his face bore an unbelievably frightened expression, a clear sign of his scare.

Ignoring Connor, White moved to stand next to Mori Jones, asking, “Mori, are you alright?”

Still shaken, Mori shook her head, her eyes showing a hint of timidity as she looked at White.

White, seeing her reaction, hurriedly softened his aura, resuming his usual demeanor.

Seeing this, Mori finally allowed herself to relax slightly. However, at that moment, White asked her, “Mori, how do you want to handle him?

If you want to make him disappear, I can help. It won’t cause any problems.” Although Connor was only sixteen or seventeen, he was far from innocent or naive.

Mori had helped White and his sister, Sherry, time and again, and he couldn’t ignore her kindness.

Now that Mori was in trouble, it was only natural for him to help her.

Just like he said, he could come up with a surefire way to make Connor completely vanish with no repercussions.

But clearly, Mori didn’t wish for that to happen. After hearing White’s declaration, she showed an expression of difficulty.

She knew very well that the Cooper family were not benevolent. If White were to kill Connor, it would bring endless trouble for him.

Although Longman did seem obsequious towards White, she wasn’t exactly sure of his position in the grand scheme of things.

Moreover, White already had plenty of troubles. How could she burden him further?

After this realization, she cast a complicated glance at Connor, then shook her head regretfully, “Let’s go.”

“Mori, if you’re worried about the Cooper family, there’s no need. If I promised to handle it, I will, completely!

The likes of the Cooper family isn’t even worth my attention.” White nonchalantly assured her, as if discussing an inconsequential matter.

Upon hearing this, Mori sighed bitterly, then shook her head in sadness, “Let’s go. I don’t wish to continue this.”

Obviously, Mori decided against taking further action to avoid causing more trouble for White.

Seeing her insistence, White found it hard to argue. Hence, he suggested,

“Mori, why don’t you come with us? It’d be safer.”

Mori gave one last look at Connor, then nodded and quietly fell in step behind White.

They walked in silence, the atmosphere growing tense.

As they neared the car, White who had been ahead, broke the silence, “Mori, don’t you have any questions?”

Mori had been present throughout the incident, so White knew she had seen how respectful Longman was towards him.

It would be better to give her some answers rather than let her speculate. Even if the truth wasn’t the whole story, it was much better than her guessing everything.

This….

Upon hearing his offer, Mori hesitated a little but soon asked with resolve, “Who are you, really?”

“Me?” White turned around slowly, then answered calmly, “Who do you think I am, Mori?” This…

White’s counter-question left Mori in silence.

At this point, White Mitchell laughed lightly and continued, “What if I told you, that after I went to prison five years ago, I was taken away by a mysterious individual, sent to the battlefield, where I fought tirelessly and established significant military exploits.

I went on to become the only Supreme Military Lord in the War Department, wielding great power.

Wealth, glory, and all the splendors of the world, are within my grasp!” Whoosh!

When White Mitchell made these remarks, Mori Jones was taken aback. She was inexplicably shocked. For an instant, she felt that White Mitchell was not lying and that everything he said was true.

However, the next second, White Mitchell gazed at her with a teasing smirk, “My dear niece, would you believe me if I told you all this?”

Mori Jones exhaled lightly, and then gave White Mitchell a disgruntled look.

For a second, she was truly taken aback by what White Mitchell had said and almost believed him. However, she quickly snapped out of it.

It was merely a joke from White Mitchell. How could such an extraordinary experience occur to him?

Seeing this, White Mitchell put away his mischievous smile and turned serious.

“The truth is, back in prison, I helped a big shot. He was indebted to Longman, so he asked Longman to take care of me.

I didn’t want Sherry to know about my connection with Longman and the others. After all, what they do isn’t exactly honorable. If Sherry found out, she would definitely worry for me.

So, I hope you can keep this a secret for me,” White Mitchell said with utmost sincerity.

So that’s how it is!

After hearing this, Mori Jones had an enlightened look on her face. So this was the reason why Longman was willing to help White Mitchell.

This undoubtedly confirmed her previous thoughts,

Thinking about this, Mori then solemnly promised, “Don’t worry, I will keep your secret.”

“Thank you,” said White Mitchell gratefully.

Subsequently, the two chatted a bit more before returning to the car.

However, once they got into the car, Mori’s face didn’t look too good, it seemed as though she was lost in deep thought.

At this point, Sherry Jones had already woken up. When she first realized that White Mitchell wasn’t there, she almost gave Kylin a beating, but luckily, Kylin told her the truth.

Seeing Mori’s worried expression, Sherry could not help but ask, “Auntie, are you worried that the Cooper family will come looking for trouble?”

After finishing her words, Sherry also couldn’t help starting to worry.

Given the Cooper family’s character, the incident tonight where White Mitchell had beaten Connor Cooper would likely not pass easily.

Upon hearing this, Mori managed to squeeze out a forced smile and reassured her, “It’s okay, I’ll take care of it.”

After saying this, Mori turned her gaze to the traffic outside the window, looking out in a daze.

Thus, they drove in silence, everyone thinking that the evening was over without further incidents. However, when the car was about to reach the hotel, Mori’s phone rang.

Rhett?

Mori picked it up and glanced at the caller ID, then quickly hung up, for fear that White Mitchell and Sherry Jones would see.

But then, the phone immediately rang a second time. It was still Rhett.

This time, Mori chose to hang up again, knowing that Rhett was probably coming to confront her. Hence, she did not want White Mitchell and Sherry Jones to get involved.

“You should answer it. Perhaps, it also has something to do with me,” said White Mitchell, with a calm look on his face.

Just then, a third call came in. Mori hesitated for a moment, and then decided to answer it. But as soon as she did, a roar came from the other end of the line.

“Mori Jones! Have you lost your fucking mind? Who the hell allowed you to beat Connor to a pulp? Are you fucking suicidal?

If you want to die, go ahead, but why drag me into this? You crazy woman! You’re just a crazy woman!

Let me tell you, the old man is already furious. You better bring me that punk who beat Connor right now!” Rhett was irate.

“No, it was Connor who…” With a wronged look on her face, Mori tried to explain, but was rudely interrupted by Rhett.

Not giving her a chance to explain, Rhett continued to berate, “There’s no ‘no’. Cut the crap! When I tell you to bring someone to me, just bring him to me!

Don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you don’t bring him to me today, after the old man’s birthday, he will annihilate the entire Jones Family and make you two a funeral gift!

Think it through! If I don’t see you guys within an hour, you’d better get ready for the Jones Family’s funeral!”
