Getting $10 Trillion Out Of Nowhere

Chapter 857: High School Classmate
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Connor couldn’t help but smile lightly after hearing Jaden’s words.

It had been so many years, and Jaden still had the same carefree appearance as before.

In Connor’s impression, he was a righteous person with a straightforward personality, and he came from a well-off family.

His parents were both business owners, so their family could be considered middle class.

During high school, he was always eager to help Connor.

And he took the initiative to talk to Connor about their high school days.

But most of the time, it was him doing all the talking, while Connor quietly listened.

After inheriting Steven’s legacy, Connor discovered that his personality had undergone a significant change.

He could no longer speak recklessly as he did before. Now, he had become noticeably more silent and reserved compared to the past.

“Oh, by the way, Connor, are you still with Mandy?”

Jaden hesitated for a moment and asked softly.

“We broke up a long time ago…”

Connor slowly said.

“That’s good…”

Upon hearing this, Jaden shouted in relief and continued, “I always thought you should have broken up with Mandy. I never thought she was a good person. Her eyes changed when she saw someone wealthy. Ordinary people like us couldn’t handle a woman like her. I’m glad you broke up with her…”

“Yeah, I couldn’t handle that kind of woman…”

Connor replied with a smile and continued, “Do you have a girlfriend now?”

“No…”

Jaden sighed softly and continued, “But I have a girl I like now. I’ve been pursuing her for a while, but she hasn’t agreed to be with me…”

“Oh, I see!”

Connor nodded lightly, glanced at the time on his phone, and said softly, “The day after tomorrow is the weekend, and I don’t have classes. How about we meet up?”

“Sure…”

Upon hearing Connor’s words, Jaden immediately agreed and continued, “I heard that there’s a resort in Zalfari next to our Porthampton. They have hot springs and everything. How about we meet there?”

“Sounds good…”

Without hesitation, Connor readily agreed.

“Okay, it’s settled then. I’ll invite our high school classmates, especially those who had a good relationship with both of us. It’s been a long time since I saw them. Let’s have a reunion…”

Jaden enjoyed organizing gatherings, and he had a good relationship with his classmates during school. So he had the contact information of many high school classmates, but Connor did not.

“Alright, you call them out, and I’ll come to meet you guys…”

Connor said with a smile.

“No problem. We’ll keep in touch then…”

Jaden grinned and hung up the phone directly.

After hearing the dial tone from the other end of the phone, Connor sighed deeply and lay on the bed to rest alone.

In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.

After packing his luggage, Connor arrived at the bus station and boarded the bus from Porthampton to Zalfari.

Zalfari was located south of Porthampton. Although it was also a city at the municipal level, it was more like a small county town. Most of the people in Zalfari relied on the tourism industry for a living. The city had beautiful scenery, surrounded by mountains and waters, and there were many resorts. Additionally, Zalfari was close to Porthampton, so many people from Porthampton would visit Zalfari for leisure before the weekend.

The bus that Connor was on was also packed with people.

Fortunately, he arrived early, so he had a seat. If he had come later, he probably wouldn’t even have a seat and would have to stand.

Throughout the journey, he kept admiring the scenery outside the window.

After two hours, the bus arrived in Zalfari.

After getting off the bus, he prepared to take out his phone and call Jaden.

But at that moment, he saw several people running towards his location.

And leading the pack was Jaden, the dark-skinned and strong guy who was Connor’s closest friend back in high school.

As soon as Jaden approached, he punched Connor in the chest and loudly exclaimed, “Connor, it’s been so long since we last contacted. Finally, I see you, man!”

“Yeah, Connor, with so many of us, and you being the closest to Zalfari, how could you be the last to arrive? Are you ashamed of yourself?”

Another tall guy shouted along.

This guy was Tobias, the sports committee member in Connor’s class back then. Because their family backgrounds were similar and not very affluent, their relationship was very good.

These two could be considered Connor’s best friends from high school!

“Aren’t you supposed to bring your girlfriend along?”

After noticing that only Tobias and Jaden were present, Connor’s eyes showed a hint of confusion as he asked softly.

“The girls from our class have already arrived and are waiting at the restaurant. It’s too hot today, so I didn’t ask them to come and wait for you…”

Jaden replied with a smile.

“He’s worried his goddess will get a tan…”

Tobias grinned and teased.

“What do you know? It’s called cherishing and valuing beauty. People like you probably won’t be able to find a girlfriend!”

Jaden playfully patted Tobias on the shoulder and laughed.

“Alright, now that everyone is here, let’s not stay here any longer. Let’s hurry over…”

Connor didn’t expect everyone to arrive so quickly, so he felt a bit embarrassed and quickly said to Jaden.

“Let’s get on the car then!”

As Jaden spoke, he took out the car key from his pocket and lightly pressed it, causing a white BMW car’s headlights to illuminate.

“Wow, Jaden, you’re driving a BMW now…”

After seeing the BMW, Connor pretended to be surprised and said with a smile.

“What BMW? It’s a used car I bought from my friend, very cheap. It’s good enough for fooling around with girls, but if someone who knows about cars sees it, they’ll know it’s a worthless piece of junk…”

Jaden didn’t boast to Connor and casually said.

Upon hearing Jaden’s words, he smiled faintly, didn’t say much, and followed Jaden and the others onto the car.
