Connor didn't expect Jace to make the first move against him, so his eyes flashed with a hint of interest.
If Jace was facing an ordinary person instead of Connor, then Jace's plan might have succeeded. Unfortunately, the person he met was Connor.
Although Connor looked thin and weak and did not have much strength, he was a martial artist.
The gap between a martial artist and an ordinary person was definitely not something that could be made up for through training.
In order to prevent Jace from reacting, Connor did not use force, but silently endured Jace's strength first. After all, Jace's strength was nothing to Connor. If Connor suddenly exerted force, he could definitely crush Jace's bones in an instant. However, Connor felt that it was not necessary to do so now. After all, they had just met. If Connor crushed Jace's hand, it would make people think that it was Connor's problem.
