"It's very simple. If you continue to talk nonsense with me, Miss Rebecca's fair hand will appear in front of your eyes. I swear on my status as a noble!" Connor said flatly with a smile on his face. It was as if he wasn't talking about something as bloody as chopping off someone's hand, but something he'd encountered on an excursion.
"Phew …" Vidal's breathing suddenly became heavy as he glared at Connor. His eyes were filled with killing intent, but after a minute of stalemate, Vidal chose to cooperate. "You know a secret, and we've obtained some of your hair. Rebecca and I have decided to use a curse to kill you. The other day, when you were on a date with Rebecca, I added a magic powder called violet flower to the baked snails with cheese. This magic powder can erase some of your memories under the guidance of my spell!"
Conner put on an unfathomable expression and looked at Vidal with a faint smile, but he secretly said in his heart, "Don't worry, Vidal.
'The A.I. Chip has verified the credibility of this person's words!'
[Beep! Mission established. Verifying in progress. Please wait!] The A.I. Chip's cold female voice sounded in his mind.
Verifying the credibility of the words of others was one of the main auxiliary functions of the A.I. Chip. The main principle was to observe the microexpressions of the person speaking, as well as data such as their eyes, to carry out the analysis. In theory, the accuracy of the analysis was above 87%, but in reality, because everyone was different, the final result could only be used as a basis for reference. Furthermore, some people might be too shrewd or otherwise, without any changes in their microexpressions, the auxiliary A.I. Chip couldn't even collect the data, so naturally, it couldn't do the analysis!
[Beep! The credibility of this person's words is at 99%. The A.I. Chip suggests that this person's words can be trusted!]
"Activate verification mode. Inform me immediately if the credibility of this person's words is low."
[Beep! Obeying Host's command, verification mode activated.]
"I hope you can be more specific. For example, what secret do I know? Why do you want to kill me and erase some of my memories?" Connor asked leisurely with a smile. Although the A.I. Chip's appraisal could only be used as a reference and wasn't necessarily accurate, it was 99% reliable enough for Connor to believe Vidal's words.
Vidal hesitated for a moment, but he seemed to remember the taste of water torture just now. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Rebecca and I are going to murder Fabinho. The detective you found to investigate Rebecca accidentally found some clues, so we have to kill you and the detective to ensure that the news will not be leaked. There's a Spirit Medium in the Loen City Police Department who can check the deceased's memories within twenty-four hours of a person's death. Furthermore, you are a noble. Once we succeed in cursing you to a sudden death, your noble status might cause the police department to send a Spirit Medium to track down the murderer. "
"Damn it, I've been shot even though I'm lying down. I'm sitting at home, but trouble has fallen from the sky!" Hearing Vidal's reason for killing him, Connor was filled with emotions. It was true that he had found a detective to investigate Rebecca, but in the end, Connor Ferguson got no useful information from the detective except for the fact that Rebecca was Fabinho's illegitimate daughter. He didn't expect this to be the reason for the original Connor Ferguson's death.
"If I remember correctly, Fabinho is Rebecca's father. Why did you and Rebecca plan to murder Fabinho?" After figuring out the reason for his original murder, Connor was very interested in this issue. Valverde had told him that Vidal was also the illegitimate son of a rich businessman. He and Rebecca were of the same background. He was really curious as to why Rebecca would join forces with someone like Vidal to kill her biological father! Connor was really curious about the reason why Rebecca would join forces with someone like Vidal to kill her biological father!
"Ha ha ha …" Vidal sneered when he heard Connor's question. He said in a low voice, "Connor Ferguson, as the eldest son of an earl and the future earl, I'm afraid you can't imagine the lives of illegitimate children like us. Although we don't have to worry about food and clothing, we are like slaves without any dignity. That damn Fabinho, apart from giving Rebecca some money, let his sons bully Rebecca. The most unbearable thing is that he planned to make Rebecca the mistress of a sixty-year-old senator. This is absolutely intolerable. I want him dead!"
Connor swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He didn't expect that there was such a story behind his murder. He finally understood the whole story. If he had to use a phrase to sum it up, it would be very accurate to say that the fish in the moat suffer when the city gate is on fire.
"Alright, I've asked everything I need to know about your attempt to kill me. Now, tell me what you know about Magi and magic!" Just as Vidal had guessed, Connor was very interested in the dark green corrosive liquid that Vidal used during the battle. Connor longed for freedom and a life without any restrictions. In such an extraordinary world, he needed great power to ensure his freedom!
Vidal wasn't surprised by Connor's question at all. He didn't say anything, but just looked at Connor calmly.
Connor shrugged. He knew exactly what Vidal wanted. "Mr. Vidal, in the distant east, there is an ancient saying that goes, 'You are the meat on the chopping block'. I think this saying is very suitable for me, you, and Miss Rebecca who is tied to the bed next door. I'm the knife, and you and Miss Rebecca are the fishes on the chopping block. I'm the knife, and you and Miss Rebecca are the fishes on the chopping block. I'm the knife, and you are in no position to bargain with me!"
After hearing Connor's introduction of the saying, Vidal was furious. He struggled to stand up, but before he could do anything, Connor kicked him to the ground.
"Plop!"
Vidal clutched his stomach and rolled back and forth on the ground, howling in pain. Connor's kick had hit his liver.
"Mister Vidal, I'm not afraid to tell you that you must die, but Miss Rebecca doesn't necessarily have to die. If you really love Miss Rebecca, why don't you use your knowledge in exchange for Miss Rebecca's life?" Connor said faintly.
