Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 3054

"Have a seat," Conor stated, gesturing toward the stone table with a sly grin. He then teased, "Surprised to see me, Mr. Rocco? I thought your spies would have sniffed me out."

Undeterred, Rocco plopped down across from Conor, not missing a beat. He snagged a wine glass and poured himself a hefty serving.

Lynette looked as if she was about to jump in with concern, but Rocco beat her to it by knocking back the wine in one gulp.

"Wow, this wine is top-notch!" Rocco praised, setting the glass down.

"I never thought I'd taste Scarlet Lounge's Fairy Brew in this lifetime. Thanks for the hookup, Mr. Durham!" Rocco brushed off Conor's sarcasm, his mind racing. Conor's got that family clout, but I made it alone. No contest. Plus, he's practically ancient compared to me!

Conor was briefly caught off guard, then gave a soft chuckle and remarked, "Well, no wonder Cathay's been holding steady with folks like you on board. With bright young minds like yours backing it, Cathay's set for smooth sailing for ages."

Conor wasn't selling Rocco short; he genuinely respected him. He mused, Impressive. With just a few words, he's got me figured out. This guy has some serious talent!

Despite Rocco's outward calm, a faint unease crept in. What unsettled him most was Conor's apparent knowledge of his true identity.

The Durham Family's prowess extended far beyond mere combat skills; it was their extensive intelligence network that genuinely struck fear into others.

Describing the Scarlet Lounge as "like unseen watchers in the shadows, knowing every move" might sound dramatic, but it perfectly captured the depth of its intelligence gathering.

Considering Conor's reach, the idea of spies within Montiria's harem didn't seem far-fetched at all.

"I'm curious, what's Mr. Durham's want with me?" Rocco asked, keeping his guard up.

Conor didn't mince words. Since their chat already showed what Rocco could do, he didn't see the point in skirting around it.
