Casey's eyes widened. He looked at Annabel incredulously. His reaction was much than that of his knowing that Percy was Terence.
Annabel said that Percy was on the artificial lake island just now. Casey had several possibilities in his mind. He felt that Percy might be left to be a bodyguard by the boss of Guanling because he was too strong.
Or Percy became the confidant of the boss of Guanling. He was thought highly by the boss of Guanling, so he was qualified to board the artificial island.
But Casey didn't expect that Annabel actually said that Percy was the boss of Guanling, which was completely beyond his imagination.
According to Casey's understanding of Guanling, this was a paradise on earth that was constructed with huge resources and attracted the world's top family consortia. Such an existence, Davies family in B City couldn’t be comparable with it at all.
Casey did have quite a strong power in B City, but he hadn't been able to extend his power to the world. The influence of Davies family couldn't reach everywhere in the world.
Compared with Guanling, Davies family was still far behind, so Casey thought that Terence might die here. After all, with Terence's strength back then, Casey thought that Terence would not even be able to enter the top ten of List of the Ares.
However, now Annabel not only told Casey that Percy who had smashed Guanling to the extremely weak was Terence, but now she also told Casey that Percy was the boss of Guanling.
This was simply unexpected!
"Didn't Percy kill many people in Guanling back then? How could he become the boss of Guanling?" Casey held back his shock, staring at Annabel.
"There are many secrets involved. I just heard it from my father, but what I said is indeed the truth. I am also curious about why Percy became the boss of Guanling. It’s said that Percy is the second boss of Guanling. Many people suspect that Percy killed the first boss before sitting in this position." Annabel said.
Casey nodded thoughtfully, thinking that this possibility was indeed great. After all, Terence had been running Davies Family in the past. It was impossible for him to have the energy to build such a huge project as Guanling. If others said that Terence was the founder of Guanling, Casey wouldn't believe it.
"How many people know that Percy is the boss of Guanling?" Casey asked again.
"Very few, even those from the top family consortiums who often come to Guanling rarely know this. This is a secret in Guanling, so you'd better not tell others the thing. Once it will be known by others, I can survive because of the relationship between my father and him, but you may not be so lucky." Annabel said.
Casey smiled. If Terence was the boss of Guanling, he should be the safest person in Guanling.
"So, your family has a very good relationship with the boss of Guanling? Y actually know some secrets of the boss of Guanling." Casey said with a smile.
"My father have had some cooperation with him. I have told you everything I know. Now it's your turn to tell me your purpose of looking for Terence and the relationship between you and Terence." Annabel stared at Casey.
Casey thought for a while. Since there was cooperation between the Thompson family and Guanling, Casey felt Annabel was not the enemy, so it was not a big problem to tell her the relationship between himself and Terence.
"Why don't you speak? Could it be that you were frightened after you knew Terence's true identity, so you gave up looking for him?" Annabel stared at Casey jokingly.
Casey smiled, and then said in a calm tone, "Terence is my father. He has been missing for many years. I came here to find his trace."
After he finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the room. Annabel’s eyes widened quickly, and her mouth opened. The shock on her face was much than Casey’s reaction just now.
"What...what did you say? Terence is your father?" After a while, Annabel asked.
Casey nodded.
The words that Annabel’s father said to her immediately appeared in her mind. Percy always mentioned his son every time he had tea with several heads of families or consortia who had in-depth cooperation with Guanling.
Annabel's father even wanted to send someone to find where Percy's son was, but he was warned by Percy once, so he never dared to have any actions anymore.
The reason why Annabel's father wanted to find Percy's son was that he wanted to find a boyfriend for his daughter.
Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Guanling couldn’t be compared with those big families, but the Thompson family was one of the families who knew how powerful the boss of Guanling was. Those families were very aware of the horror of Guanling. If their daughter could get married with the son of the boss of Guanling, it would bring their own family immeasurable benefits.
