"Thank you for your help, Professor!" Edward's eyes lit up as he nodded in gratitude.
"I'll give you three months. Within these three months, the Valencia Chamber of Commerce won't start work. You'll have enough time to get rid of your dissidents, gather your resources, and take control of the Loen Church. Once you've become the new Bishop and everything is settled, the Valencia Chamber of Commerce will start work at full force!" Reyes made his request after giving Edward the benefits.
"Three months is enough. Don't worry, Professor. You've invested so many resources in me. I know how to repay you!" Edward replied in a deep voice.
"Very good. Remember what you've said."
As soon as Reyes finished his words, his figure in front of Edward turned transparent. Under Edward's astonished gaze, he turned into a paper man and fell onto the dark floor of the basement.
… ….
… ….
"Senior, can you please not appear so mysteriously next time?" Looking at the elegant gentleman who suddenly appeared in front of her, Ms. Lena, who was wearing a nightgown and a face mask at home, rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.
"If I remember correctly, when we were still in school, Corella once gave you a bottle of Beauty Potion in order to pursue you, right?" Reyes carefully observed Ms. Lena who was wearing a face mask.
"Hmph! Although Corella was born in a family of pharmacists, we were all apprentices back then. The Beauty Potion was so precious. How did he get his hands on it? He only gave me a very effective anti-aging potion! " Lena explained slowly. Although her tone was a little fierce, her words were full of nostalgia for that era.
"Now that you're an official Wizard, it shouldn't be too difficult to get a bottle of Beauty Potion. Why didn't you get one for yourself?" Reyes asked casually.
"After leaving school, I became an official Wizard smoothly. I thought I could do something big with him. Who would've thought so many things would happen later …" Lena said with a sigh. However, when she said the word "him", her beautiful eyes couldn't help but flash with a mixture of hatred and gentleness.
Lena raised her head and looked at Reyes who was beside her. A smile appeared on her pretty face that didn't have many traces of age. She said, "Senior, if you didn't find me, I thought I wouldn't have a chance in this lifetime. Now that I've decided to come back, I naturally have to tidy myself up. Otherwise, won't I lose in front of those beautiful girls?"
"You know everything?" Hearing Lena's words, Reyes, who was always good at strategizing, showed a hint of surprise on his face.
"Of course. Although I wasn't at the Nantes Manor that day, it doesn't mean I didn't know anything. That guy Abidal never showed up, so he must have been killed by you, senior. Adel killed Balero of the Secret Order and led the Arbiters to launch a counterattack in the Nantes Manor. He was the final winner with a lot of merits. This naturally shows that you've achieved what you wanted to do, senior!" Lena's eyes flashed with admiration as she spoke.
"Very good, Lena. Why don't you guess why I'm here this time?" Reyes's smile grew wider. It was a test for Lena.
"What do you want from me now? Of course, you want me to monitor Edward. After all, if you don't run faster now, when those old farts in the Church find out that you killed Abidal, you'll … "Lena teased Reyes. She even made a throat-slitting gesture on her fair and tender neck.
Reyes gently clapped his hands a few times. He looked at Lena with admiration in his eyes. He said with some emotion, "Lena, with you like this, I don't have to worry about Loen anymore."
"Don't … Don't! Edward might not be as cunning as Abidal, but he's not easy to deal with either. Besides, he's been operating in Loen for so many years. I'm no match for him! "Lena waved her hand at Reyes with a sly look in her eyes.
"Although Edward has been operating in Loen for many years, and he has people all over the Loen Church, he didn't tell his subordinates about what happened this time in order not to attract attention. Therefore, his subordinates have suffered heavy losses this time. Although most of his subordinates are by his side, there's a big premise, which is that he's loyal to the Church of the Storm!"
"Now that Edward has joined forces with me and killed Abidal and so many of the Church's disciples, he can no longer turn back. If his subordinates find out that he betrayed the Church, they'll be the first to report him. Therefore, in order to hide and protect himself, he only has one choice, which is to hand Loen's intelligence agency over to you, Lena!" Reyes said meaningfully.
"Hand over the intelligence agency to me? Because I have a grudge against the Church? Or because my foundation in Loen is shallow and easy to control? "Lena said self-deprecatingly.
"Lena, since I asked you to keep an eye on Edward for me, I naturally won't let you face Edward alone!" Reyes then took out a piece of paper and a token from his space ring and handed it to Lena.
Lena took a deep look at Reyes, then solemnly took the paper and token from Reyes.
"These are the people I've arranged in Loen over the years. I'll hand them over to you. With them and your abilities, it won't be difficult to keep an eye on Edward. This token is a token that I use to command these people. Seeing this token is like seeing me in person!" Reyes exhorted.
Lena's beautiful eyes carefully scanned the list that Reyes had given her. A look of surprise appeared in her eyes, as though she couldn't believe some of the names on the list!
After memorizing every name on the list, Lena put away the token and destroyed the list in front of Reyes.
Reyes nodded and pondered for a moment. He took out a portrait from his space ring and handed it to Lena. "His name is Connor Ferguson. He's my student. I didn't let him get involved in this matter. Apart from keeping an eye on Edward, your other mission is to protect Connor Ferguson. I don't want anything to happen to him!"
Upon hearing Reyes's words, a look of disbelief appeared on Lena's face. She took the portrait but didn't open it immediately. Instead, she said in disbelief, "Senior, you actually took in a student?"
