"Marguerite, who is this person you're talking about?" Hearing Margaret's words, Connor realized that there was still a chance for things to turn around. He immediately asked in return,
Instead of answering Connor's question directly, a sly smile appeared on Marguerite's pretty face. She opened her mouth and said, "Connor, who was I talking to you about just now?"
Recalling Marguerite's description, Connor immediately reacted. He said with some confusion, "Marguerite, didn't you say that Elena went to find trouble with Reyes? Why are you saying that she's in Flosinone now? Could it be that Reyes came to Flosinone … "
Connor's voice became softer and softer towards the end. He felt that Reyes, who was rumored to be severely injured by the Religion of the Earth's level-3 Magus, must be crazy to come to Flosinone when the Church of the Storm's forces were concentrated on Flosinone. Unfortunately, from Marguerite's calm expression in front of him, Connor knew the answer.
"The Church's higher-ups received very reliable news that Reyes is injured and will arrive in Flosinone soon. He might even be in Flosinone now!" Marguerite said softly.
Although Marguerite's voice wasn't loud, it was like a heavy hammer that smashed Connor's heart. At this moment, Connor Ferguson's heart was in turmoil. Although he had always treated Reyes as an imaginary enemy, after so many years, Connor couldn't help but feel nervous at the thought of meeting Reyes and having a showdown. He didn't have enough confidence in his heart.
Looking at Connor with his head lowered in contemplation, Marguerite continued, "Although Elena didn't tell me, I can basically confirm through my other sources in the Church of the Storm that the Church's higher-ups attach great importance to this matter. Other than Elena, other God's Punishers will be sent to Flosinone, but I'm not sure who will be sent."
"Although I can't get more confidential information about the Church's personnel deployment in Flosinone, but judging from Reyes's injury, as long as Reyes shows up in Flosinone, now is really the best chance to get rid of him. If you want to take this opportunity to get rid of Reyes, Connor, then it's not a bad opportunity for you to meet Elena!"
"Don't worry, Connor. Elena won't mind the fact that you killed Milick. I've already told you clearly that Elena and Humail are like fire and water because of the competition for the next pope. It's impossible for them to reconcile. Milick, who you killed, was Humail's loyal henchman. Therefore, Elena still doesn't know that Milick was killed by you, Connor Ferguson. Even if she does know about it, she might be happy to see it happen!" Margaret advised Connor, "Don't worry, Connor Ferguson, you killed Milick, so don't tell me that Milick was killed by you, Connor Ferguson.
A minute after Marguerite finished speaking, Connor finished his thoughts. He raised his head and looked at Marguerite, "Do you want me to meet with Marguerite?"
"I just think that Connor and Elena have the same interests now. Both of you want Reyes to die. As long as Reyes is dead, Connor, you won't be a big threat anymore, and Elena can use Reyes's death to increase her prestige in the Church. She will have more chips to compete with Elena for the next Pope."
"Connor, the choice is in your hands. I'm just giving you a chance to make a choice!" Sensing the probing intent in Connor's words, Margaret furrowed her brows and explained, "That's right.
Connor nodded. He thought for a while and said, "Marguerite, you know that this is very important. I think I need to think about it carefully …"
"No problem, Connor. No matter what, I'll be with you!" Sensing the hesitation in Connor's words, Marguerite held Connor's hand and said firmly to Connor, "Don't worry.

… ….
On the outskirts of Flosinone, in the manor of Mensaka, there was an inconspicuous villa.
Elena was sitting across from a burly, blonde middle-aged man in a light red robe, who was sitting in the middle of the room.
They were chatting eagerly.
"Elena, I heard that a few days ago, your operation in Flosinone suffered a small setback?"
The blonde middle-aged man looked at Elena who was sitting in front of him with a cold expression.
Elena instinctively refused to answer the blonde middle-aged man's question. However, when she thought of his identity as a God's Punisher, she answered vaguely, "When I went to catch some of Reyes's men, I didn't catch any of them!"
Elena didn't want to waste her breath on this question, so she quickly changed the topic, "Jovic, did you come to Flosinone alone?"
"No, I didn't!"
The blonde middle-aged man, who was the God's Punisher of the Church of the Storm, shook his head and answered Elena's question. He then introduced himself, "This time, I came to Flosinone together with Saint Nunez's Church in East Hoy, Salas. However, five days ago, I received an edict from the Pope in Klass City. He said that the Secret Society's professor might have arrived in Flosinone. Elena, you need help here, so he asked me to come as soon as possible to stabilize the situation and assist you in your operation."
"That's why I parted ways with Salas. If nothing goes wrong, he should arrive in Flosinone in three days!"
Jovic paused for a few seconds to organize his words. He then asked Elena, "Since His Holiness has given me this mission to help you deal with Reyes, I will do my best to make sure that Reyes receives the judgment he deserves. However, Elena, you know that I'm not interested in power struggles, so I can't help you in other matters."
Elena had heard from the Church of the Storm that Jovic wasn't a talkative person. He was always straightforward and made people feel awkward the moment he spoke. However, Marguerite didn't know how low his EQ was until she met him.
