Abidal nodded, indicating that he had nothing else to say. Lena and Edward then stood up and left.
Looking at the two's departing figures, a faint smile appeared on Abidal's face.
Walking out of the room, Lena and Edward did not talk much. Instead, they walked directly to a small building in the center of the manor. Seeing Lena walking back to the building, the church staff who were working in the building, regardless of gender or age, lowered their heads deeply to Lena, not daring to look directly at her face to show their respect.
Ignoring everyone's salutations, Lena went straight back to her office. But just as she sat down on her chair and picked up a document on the table to read, a pair of warm palms were placed on her shoulders and gently squeezed.
Feeling the fingers on her shoulders, Lena's expression changed abruptly. However, before she could do anything, a gentle voice entered her ears. "Abidal is also an old fox. Don't get too involved in this matter."
Hearing this voice, Lena calmed down and said slowly, "Senior, you're really brave to show up here alone at this time. Aren't you afraid that I'll suddenly change my mind and hand you over to Abidal?"
Hearing Lena call him senior, the man chuckled and stopped massaging Lena's shoulders. He gently stroked Lena's soft blonde hair and said calmly, "We haven't seen each other for decades. Junior, you're still so funny. You should know my personality. Since I have the courage to show up here, I'm confident that I can walk out of here safely."
If Connor appeared at this moment and saw this mysterious man who was full of confidence and even a little arrogance, he would probably swallow his tongue into his stomach. This mysterious man was his teacher, Reyes!
Hearing Reyes's words, a touch of surprise appeared in Lena's eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Reyes and said, "Senior, have you broken through to become a level-three wizard?"
"Rank 3 Magus? No, no, no. I've been stuck as a rank 2 Adept for so many years, and I've barely touched the edge. There's still a long way to go before I can become a rank 3 Adept! "Reyes shook his head and laughed.
Since Reyes denied that he was a rank 3 wizard, Lena didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she pondered for a moment and said to Reyes, "Senior, I've already given the document to Abidal."
"Very good! I believe that Abidal has already sent a messenger back to the headquarters to inquire. I'm rather curious as to what kind of expression that old fox will have when he finds out that the three hundred tons of gunpowder that blew up the Storm Cathedral was secretly handed over to the East Hoy Company to launch a new round of invasion, and is only temporarily stored in the secret vault of the Storm Cathedral! "Reyes smiled, as though he was fascinated by something.
"Senior, this time, in order to save the motley crew, you let your spy detonate the three hundred tons of gunpowder. What a waste of a killer move!" Lena joked.
"There's no such thing as besieging Wei to save Zhao. Everything is going according to my plan. Even if Abidal launched a clean-up operation last night, there were only a dozen apprentices there. If he wants to eat, then let him eat!" Sitting on the sofa beside Lena, Reyes acted as though he didn't care at all.
"Oh? If that's the case, senior's method is really brilliant! "Lena's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"It's just a small trick. That God's Punisher isn't bad either. He's also following my lead. That God's Punisher of the Church stationed in the New World, Jovic, should have arrived in Loen three days ago!" Walking to the office window, Reyes pulled open the curtains and looked at a villa in the distance. That villa was where Abidal had just held the meeting.
Hearing the name Jovic, Lena's expression changed. She seemed to know what these three words meant. Before she could say anything, Reyes closed the curtains again, turned around, and waved his hand at her with a smile. "At this moment, in the words of Emperor Laurel, it should be a big problem. It's useless to panic, but … I've been living in seclusion in Loen for several years, and I've long been prepared. How can I let Jovic become a variable?"
"Conti, Bisping, and some people from the secret society are already in place. Next, let's see if Jovic will surprise me, or if Conti will surprise Abidal!" Reyes said casually. "This time, I'm here to tell you that you've fulfilled your promise. You can stop now. If I need anything, I'll inform you again."
After saying that, Reyes's figure gradually became transparent. After a few breaths, Reyes, who appeared in front of Lena, turned into a pile of shredded paper …
Lena, who had a panoramic view of all this, shook her sleeves, and all the shredded paper immediately appeared in her hands. After carefully examining the shredded paper, a look of horror appeared in Lena's eyes. She murmured in a low voice, "I didn't expect Reyes to succeed in this experiment …"
… ….
… ….
In the small safe house, Connor searched for more than an hour, but he still couldn't find the reason that made his hair stand on end.
Although he couldn't find the reason, the feeling was very real!
However, just as Connor was hesitating whether he should escape from the safe house, a familiar knocking sound came from the bronze door of the safe house.
It was the method Connor used to open the door just now. Hearing the knocking sound, Connor's expression changed. Although he didn't know who was knocking on the door, since the person knew the method to knock on the door, there was a high probability that it was a member of the secret society!
With the last knock, the bronze door opened silently, and a petite and graceful figure entered the safe house.
"Varga?" Connor shouted in surprise.
"Connor, you're here too!" Seeing Connor's face in the safe house, Varga's delicate face also showed an expression of disbelief.
Without wasting time, Connor hugged Varga excitedly. Varga resisted a few times, then leaned into Connor's arms with a red face.
