"Uncle Herrera!!" Not long after Connor left, a young man with tears in his eyes dashed out of the building he was looking at and ran to the bald man's side.
"Young Master Alenia, you're a man now. Please don't cry so easily!" Looking at the young man who dashed out, the bald man, who was Uncle Herrera, had a touch of relief in his eyes. However, his pale face still hardened as he reprimanded Alenia.
As for Young Master Alenia, he was naturally Mr. Emmery's illegitimate son.
Hearing Herrera's reprimand, Alenia immediately wiped away his tears and looked at Herrera's broken arm worriedly.
"Young Master Alenia, don't worry. It should be just a robbery. There's still a chance for my arm to be reattached. I've already sent a message to Master, and he should be here soon!" As if to comfort the frightened Alenia, Herrera endured the severe pain caused by his broken arm and squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying.
After their conversation, a ghost-like figure directly arrived at the Inner Academy. This person was wearing a black formal attire. His figure was tall and straight. Although time had left behind traces on his face, he was still young. Although the years had passed, his angular face still showed that he was a handsome man when he was young. This middle-aged man had a very stylish style with his hair slicked back. He looked extraordinary.
As soon as this person appeared, both Alenia and Herrera bowed their heads slightly and said respectfully.
"Master!"
"Father!"

[Beep! The quality of the tested Kalor Potion is 95.7% similar to the Kalor Potion in the host's hand. It can be determined that they were refined by the same person!] In the apartment at No. 16 Rand Street, Connor leaned on the sofa and gently shook the red wine glass in his hand. The voice of the auxiliary chip sounded in his mind.
After swallowing a mouthful of red wine that was as smooth as silk, Connor narrowed his eyes slightly. The Kalor Potion he was testing now was the bottle of potion he took from Mr. Emmery's warehouse last night. And now, this result was within Connor's expectations.
A normal potion like Kailor Potion could often be judged from its color and appearance. The reason why Connor wanted to exchange a bottle of Kailor Potion from his interspatial ring with the one in the warehouse was because his intuition told him that the potion in the warehouse was very similar to the one he used. He felt that this potion was very likely made by Varga!
The results of the A.I. Chip's analysis proved that Connor's guess was correct!
A self-deprecating smile appeared on Connor's face as he downed the red wine in his glass. He was being overly suspicious. The potions in Mr. Emory's warehouse were made by Varga, so there was nothing suspicious about it!
The warehouse in Mr. Emmery's house had a small illusion formation that Reyes had created, and his relationship with the Valencia Chamber of Commerce. This clearly proved that Mr. Emmery was related to the secret society, and Varga was also working for the secret society. Therefore, there was no contradiction between the two in Mr. Emmery's warehouse and Varga's potions!
After figuring this out, Connor discarded all the distracting thoughts in his mind and turned to walk towards his alchemy workshop on the second floor. With the alchemy furnace in hand, he now had to focus on refining the Castilla staff and the silver pendant.
However, what Connor didn't expect was that just as he was about to go to work, in a coffee shop ten kilometers away from his home, Mr. Emory, who he had just "ransacked", was chatting with a petite girl in a private room of the coffee shop.
"You mean to say that you've been exposed?" Using a small spoon to swirl the fragrant coffee in her cup, the ordinary-looking girl said, "Yes.
"Yes, the Minor Illusion Formation was activated. He also discovered the Pallares Formation in the inner courtyard of my manor and took away a high-quality alchemy furnace from me," Mr. Emmery said with a dark expression.
"Oh? You mean to say that he activated the professor's small illusion formation and entered your secret room, only taking away an alchemy furnace? "The girl's tone remained calm.
"You're right! That's what's strange. In my secret room, the attacker didn't touch anything that was more valuable than the alchemy furnace. He only took away an alchemy furnace! "Mr. Emmery's tone was filled with puzzlement.
"Tell me in detail what happened!" The girl raised her coffee cup and took a sip before saying, "Yesterday, Mr. Emmery hosted a conference in New York.
"Yesterday, Loen held an economic forum called Dialogue of the New Continent. The forum's standards were very high, so I went. The person who attacked me must have planned it meticulously. He knew that I couldn't return to the manor last night because of the banquet, so he attacked the manor!"
"According to my subordinate's observation, the attacker should be a mid-level Apprentice Adept. He knows my manor very well. My subordinate observed through the Pallares Array that this person went straight to my warehouse after entering the yard. He knocked out a Grand Knight I arranged in the warehouse, activated the small illusion formation, and took away the alchemy furnace from my secret room!"
"I placed two corpse puppets that the professor gave me in the secret room. As long as this person didn't take care of the corpse puppets, the corpse puppets would attack him if he dared to take the items in the secret room. However, the attacker didn't fall for the trap!"
"He walked out of the warehouse with the alchemy furnace and discovered my subordinate's ambush. However, this person didn't seem to have any malicious intent. After easily defeating my subordinates, he didn't kill a single one of them. He only chopped off an arm of one of my subordinates. The most suspicious thing is that this person even cast a spell to stop the bleeding. It's so puzzling …" Mr. Emmery's tone was filled with confusion. It was obvious that he couldn't understand the "SAO" of his attacker.
"From what you're saying, your subordinate fought with this person. What's so special about this person?" The ordinary-looking girl's tone was solemn.
"He's suspected to be an alchemist. He has strong mental strength and is very wealthy. He has at least three magic items in his possession. As for his face, he was wearing a magic item cloak that night. Not only did the cloak cover his entire body, it also had the ability to make him invisible. If it wasn't for the Pallares Array in the yard, my subordinate wouldn't have been able to discover him!" Mr. Emmery said solemnly.
