"Is Bishop Constantine alright?" Connor narrowed his eyes and probed Officer Roderi in front of him. Although Constantine had long been killed by Bisping, the Church of the Storm hadn't announced Constantine's death to the public.
At this moment, Connor had deliberately mentioned Constantine and not asked about the situation at the Storm Cathedral. He naturally wanted to understand the situation at the Storm Cathedral in a roundabout way. The Loen House of Lords, the Loen House of Commons, and Loen City Hall had jointly signed a city-wide arrest warrant. The military police searched East Borough, and all of this confirmed Connor's guess.
Last night's explosion definitely blew up the Church of the Storm!
Roderi glanced at him with a faint smile, as though he could hear the probing in Connor's words. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I didn't see Bishop Constantine!"
Old fox, did you go underground to meet him? Connor cursed inwardly. He knew that he couldn't get anything out of the old fox, Officer Roderi, so he didn't waste his breath and ate his breakfast in peace.
After spending more than ten minutes in Connor's apartment, the military police returned to Roderi's side. One of them even leaned his head close to Roderi's ear and muttered.
Without using his mental strength, Connor knew what the military police officer was muttering to Roderi. Lazily leaning on the sofa and swirling his red wine glass, Connor said indifferently, "What's the matter? Can't you say it openly? As a noble, alchemy is my hobby, so I bought a few things. Is there anything wrong with that? "
"No!" Inspector Roderi smiled and nodded at Connor. He said to Connor apologetically, "Mr. Connor, we are just doing our jobs. Please forgive us!"
"I understand, I understand!" Connor stood up with a polite smile on his face. Connor stood up and extended his right hand.
"We have official business to attend to, so we won't be doing any more. Sorry to disturb you!" After politely shaking hands with Connor, Inspector Roderi bade farewell and left.
Looking at the back of Officer Rodriguez, Connor downed the Romano Conti in one gulp.
The reason why he dared to show his alchemy laboratory to Inspector Rodri's subordinates was that he always carried all the materials related to magic items in his laboratory with him. Secondly, the nobles of the empire had nothing to do because they did not have to worry about food and clothing. Some of them indulged in debauchery, some of them indulged in music and beauty, while some of them were curious and immersed in all kinds of strange alchemy experiments.
Although the latter was not common among the nobles, it was still a hobby that everyone had heard of. For example, Mr. Allegri, the Minister of Finance in the cabinet, and Major General Millikan of the Naval Equipment Department were well-known alchemy enthusiasts. Among the nobles, it was completely normal for them to be interested in alchemy experiments. They were not afraid of being suspected at all.
Just as Connor was hesitating whether he should go to the Empire Department Store to contact Marguerite and see if she was still alive, his expression suddenly changed. He touched the space ring on his finger.
A piece of paper emitting white light instantly appeared in Connor's hand!
When the white light on the paper dissipated, Connor could clearly see Reyes's handwriting on it.
"Last night's fireworks were quite dazzling, weren't they? The game has begun. Connor, if you think you need it, the safe house under the warehouse at Sassuolo Pier that you went to last time is a good choice. The way to open the door to the safe house is … "
After carefully reading every word of Reyes's message, Connor took a deep breath and made up his mind to hide in the safe house. The current Loen was obviously a volcano, and the explosion of the Storm Cathedral had already ignited the volcano.
After walking out of the apartment and hanging a sign on the door, Connor, who was dressed in casual clothes, did not head directly to Sassuolo Pier. Instead, he walked towards the Empire Department Store in the center of the East Borough. Before he took refuge, he had to confirm if Marguerite was still alive.
Sweeping his gaze across the armed military police and the sharp-eyed plainclothes police officers with bulging waists, Connor frowned slightly. As a wealthy district in Loen, if the East Borough was so strict with the search, one could imagine the intensity of the search in the other three districts in the north, south, and west!
When he arrived at the Empire Department Store, Connor clearly discovered that the once bustling Loen's largest department store, the Empire Department Store, had at least two-thirds fewer customers than usual. Seeing this, Connor quietly arrived at the Empire Department Store.
As soon as he arrived at Jennifer's store, Connor discovered that the store manager, Leoni, was explaining something to a pair of female tourists in the store.
At the sight of Connor's arrival, the young female store manager didn't feel surprised at all. Instead, she secretly threw a glance at Connor, hinting him to enter the same small room as last time.
After Connor walked into the small room, Leoni walked in about three to five minutes later.
"Marguerite wants me to tell you that she's still alive and isn't injured. At the time of the explosion last night, the main forces and the upper echelons of the Church of the Storm were out on a secret mission. The explosion only killed some of the remaining personnel and some civilian staff! She suggests that it's best you stay at home for the next few days! "Without wasting any time with Connor, Leoni went straight to the point.
Upon hearing Leoni's message, Connor's heart changed drastically, but he didn't show it on his face. After some thought, he said to Leoni, "Tell Marguerite to protect herself. I'm going somewhere to lie low for the time being!"
"I'll pass on your message!" Leoni nodded gently.
"Just these few items. Store Manager, pack them all up for me!" After knowing what he wanted to know, in order not to be seen through, Connor pretended to be in the small room and shouted loudly. He casually took out a gold pound note from his wallet and handed it to Leoni.
Leoni instantly understood Connor's actions. She found three sets of brand-new underwear from the small room and packed them into exquisite boxes for Connor before handing them to him. Before Connor left, she sweetly said to Connor, "Customer, you're welcome to come again!"
After walking out of the Empire Department Store, Connor didn't hesitate any longer. He went straight to the carriage company, rented a carriage, and hurriedly set off on the road to Sasolo Port.
