Chapter 653 - 653 For The Money
“You said I’m too weak, and you can’t take me as your disciple?”
After Connor heard the old man’s words, he was very disappointed.
“That’s right. Your aptitude is too poor. I don’t want to ruin my reputation…” The old man looked at Connor and said calmly.
“No, what do you mean? Why is my aptitude bad?” Connor asked the old man, upset.
Connor had been working outside since he was young, and his physical fitness was quite good compared to his peers.
At this moment, the old man’s words made Connor very unhappy.
The old man glanced at Connor and said expressionlessly, “I said that you’re too weak, and your aptitude is indeed poor. You won’t understand some things even if I explain them to you…” After Connor heard the old man’s words, his facial expression twisted even more.
He turned to Thomas and asked, “Thomas, what does he mean?”
Thomas looked up at Connor, a trace of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
He knew that Jorge’s standards had always been very high. Ordinary people definitely wouldn’t have been accepted. It was normal for him to say that Connor’s aptitude was poor.
After all, Jorge was an Earth-rank martial artist!
Therefore, Thomas whispered to Connor, “Mr. McDonald, don’t be anxious. Let me talk to him…”
Connor looked at Thomas helplessly. He felt he did not know how to communicate with this old man.
“All right, you should talk to him. 1 don’t know how to communicate with him…” he said in a low voice.
“Good!” Thomas nodded gently and walked to the old man’s side. He smiled and said to the old man, “Master Yarrell, if you feel Mr. McDonald’s aptitude is poor, it doesn’t matter. After all, Mr. McDonald doesn’t necessarily have to acknowledge you as his master. If you teach Mr. McDonald a little, we will be very happy…”
When the old man heard this, he looked up at Connor and said expressionlessly, “Since I have promised you that 1 will take this kid as my disciple, I will do as 1 say. However, his aptitude is really too poor…”
After Thomas heard the old man’s words, he instantly understood what the old man meant. He hurriedly said, “Master Yarrell, why don’t you think about this? I’ll give you an additional fifty million on top of the price we originally agreed on. What do you think?”
When Connor heard this, he couldn’t help but be stunned momentarily. Then, he hurriedly walked up to Thomas and asked in a low voice, “No, you gave him money?”
“Mr. McDonald, a martial artist at Master Yarrell’s level has to charge a fee to a disciple…” Thomas explained calmly.
Connor looked at Thomas and didn’t know what to say. He sighed internally, thinking that this old man was probably a liar. He had never seen such an otherworldly expert. He needed money to take in a disciple. What was going on?
“Mr. McDonald, don’t worry. I will help you settle this…” Thomas said to Connor with a smile.
Connor glanced at Thomas and sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say. “Master Yarrell, what do you think of my suggestion?” Thomas stepped forward and asked the old man politely.
The old man turned and looked at Thomas indifferently. Then, he pursed his lips and said, “Mr. Morgan, do you think I’m the kind of person who loves money? I, Jorge Yarrell, have never taken in disciples because of money…” “Master Yarrell, you’re not that kind of person, but I’ve already told you about Mr. McDonald’s situation. Furthermore, you also have a conflict with Rockefeller. If you can train Mr. McDonald well, it would be a huge blow to Rockefeller, wouldn’t it?” Thomas said with a smile.
Connor was unusually puzzled. He really couldn’t understand what Thomas was thinking.
He had to give this person money to become his disciple?
Moreover, Jorge had some conflicts with the people from Rockefeller. Connor couldn’t help but be curious about Jorge’s identity.
Jorge looked at Thomas indifferently. After hesitating, he said softly, “Since you have already put it that way, I’ll just give it to you today out of respect. I will give this kid a chance by taking an additional fifty million…”
“All right, all right…” Thomas hurriedly nodded.
At this moment, Connor’s expression seemed to have collapsed even more. He really could not understand what was going on.
Thomas gave the old man an extra fifty million, and the old man seemed very unwilling.
The old man slowly stood up and walked to Connor. He looked at Connor from head to toe and said to Connor softly, “Brat, you are really too weak. If I were to accept you as my disciple, it would simply be destroying my reputation…” “What are you trying to say?” Connor asked the old man with a frustrated expression.
“Cough cough…”
The old man coughed softly, looked at Connor, and said, “On account of Mr. Morgan, I’ll give you a chance now. If you pass my test, I’ll take you in as my disciple. What do you think?”
After Connor heard this, he couldn’t help but look up at the old man and said expressionlessly, “Are you giving face to Thomas or the fifty million dollars?” “Hahaha…”
The old man laughed and didn’t argue with Connor. Then, he turned and shouted behind him, “Jabba, come out!”
After the old man said this, Connor was surprised. Then, he turned and looked behind the old man.
A few minutes later, a chimpanzee covered in black fur ran out of the courtyard.
After Connor saw the chimpanzee, he was shocked. He did not know what the old man meant.
The old man whispered to Connor, “This is Jabba. You two should get to know each other…”
“You want me to get to know a chimpanzee?” Connor asked the old man helplessly.
“Jabba has been with me for decades. I’ll give you a chance now. If you defeat Jabba, I will take you in as my disciple…” the old man said with a smile.
“You want me to fight a chimpanzee?” Connor asked the old man, puzzled.
“Don’t look at him just because he is a little chimpanzee. If you defeat him, I will accept you as my disciple…” the old man said indifferently.
At this moment, Connor felt that this old man was pulling his legs. He had spent so much money but wanted him to fight with a chimpanzee!
“Are you sure you want me to fight the chimpanzee?” Connor asked the old man softly.
“Of course…” the old man nodded.
“If I defeat it, you’ll take me as your disciple, right?” Connor looked at the old man and continued to ask.
“Yes!” The old man looked at Connor and nodded again..
