Connor and Marguerite traveled a few hundred miles in less than two days and returned to Flosinone from the depths of the Navas Forest. However, the checkpoints set up in Flosinone and the Eye of the Storm still surprised Connor and Marguerite. However, this also made them aware of the tense atmosphere in Flosinone City.
After Connor drove the carriage into a hidden intersection, Marguerite said to Connor, "Connor, there's no time to lose. I'll contact Elena now and arrange for the two of you to meet. Wait for me at the agreed place!"
"Okay! Marguerite, take care of yourself too! " Connor looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he agreed with Marguerite and reminded Marguerite, "Don't worry, Marguerite.
Marguerite disappeared from the carriage in a flash after hearing Connor's reminder.
After bidding farewell to Marguerite, Connor destroyed the carriage in a remote park without hesitation and returned to the Ferguson Residence quietly.
"Miss Varga, when will Young Master Connor be back?" In the study room of the residence, Aveloya, who was subdued by Connor, asked the girl wearing a black veil in front of him anxiously.
Varga seemed to have realized something when she heard Aveloya's question. She frowned and said softly, "Are those family elders causing trouble again?"
"Sigh …" Aveloya sighed.
He shrugged and said helplessly, "Ever since Young Master Connor decided to implement those measures to reduce the authority of those family elders, they didn't realize the harm it would do to them. However, ever since they realized that Young Master Connor's measures would harm their interests, they haven't stopped causing trouble."
"It would be better if Young Master Connor was still in the family. However, now that they know that Young Master Connor isn't in the family, they're taking advantage of their seniority and causing trouble. I can't do anything about it. If Young Master Connor doesn't come back soon, I think they'll hold a meeting of the family elders to elect the new Earl!" Aveloya said softly.
"Hmph! How dare they! "
Valga snorted coldly, killing intent flashing in her beautiful eyes, and said in an incomparably cold voice:
For a pharmacist, especially one as excellent as Varga, most of their research was focused on refining medicine. However, they were also self-taught when it came to refining poisons. It wasn't difficult to silently kill someone. If it weren't for the fact that the deaths of too many people in the Ferguson Family would attract the attention of the traditional nobles and the two churches, Varga would've already poisoned those family elders and sent them on their way.
Even so, after discussing with Connor, Varga had already poisoned many of the elders. Now, as long as Varga was willing, she could make two-thirds of the seats in the Ferguson Family's council of elders become empty without leaving a trace.
Although Aveloya didn't know that Varga had poisoned the elders, he knew very well that Varga, the future Earl of the Ferguson Family, was a powerful official Magus.
When he sensed the killing intent in Varga's voice, Aveloya immediately panicked. He was really afraid that Varga would massacre the elders in the Ferguson Family. That would be troublesome, so he immediately said, "Miss Varga, I think those old fogeys have the intention to do so, but as long as young master Connor shows up, they won't have any chance. Please don't …"
Although Aveloya was being tactful, Varga still understood what he was trying to say. Seeing that Aveloya thought of her as a rash and brainless person, Varga couldn't help but glance at him coldly.
Although Averoya had the cultivation of an intermediate apprentice, in front of Valga's gaze, he still felt his whole body turn cold. His whole body shivered, and he couldn't say a word. Realising that he had made a slip of the tongue, he quickly lowered his head.
"Aveloya, just do what you should do. You don't have to worry about other things!" Varga's voice was calm and emotionless.
"Yes! Miss Varga, I'm sorry! "Aveloya, who had his head lowered, hurriedly expressed his stance.
Seeing that Aveloya's attitude was sincere and that it was his first offense, Varga only gave him a warning and didn't pursue the matter. She then waved her hand, and Aveloya immediately bowed respectfully to Varga as if he had been pardoned, then quickly left the study with his tail between his legs.
After Aveloya left, Varga thought for a while, then took out an exquisite ring inlaid with a black gem from her space ring. She placed it in the palm of her hand and stroked it. She seemed to have thought of something and looked at the ring in her hand. A trace of worry appeared on her fair, jade-like face, and she sighed slightly.
"Big wife, are you thinking of me?"
At this moment, Varga suddenly heard a familiar voice. Following the appearance of this voice, Varga's expression immediately showed some astonishment. Before she could react and react to what had happened, a familiar figure in a black robe appeared in her sight.
"Connor, you bastard!"
Seeing that Connor, whom she had missed so much, had finally returned, Varga couldn't control her emotions and ran into Connor's arms.
Hugging Varga tightly in his arms, a smile appeared on Connor's face. The two hugged each other like this and didn't speak for a while. A few minutes later, Varga gradually recovered from her joy. She, who was very familiar with Connor's body, immediately realized something. She first glanced at Connor, then grabbed Connor's right hand and her left hand. Their fingers interlocked, and the energy in her body extended into Connor's body.
Connor didn't stop Varga's actions, but he was a little surprised. Although he knew that he couldn't hide his physical condition from Varga before he came back, Connor was still a little surprised that Varga discovered it so quickly. It seemed that Varga's cultivation had improved a lot during the time he hadn't seen her!
