After returning to the rented house, Connor sat on the sofa and fell into silence. The current situation had already exceeded his expectations. He really had to think carefully!
"What do you plan to do now?" Looking at the silent Connor, the pale-faced Marguerite asked.
Hearing Marguerite's question, Connor turned his head and looked at her. He broke the silence and asked, "How are you now?"
The reason why Connor didn't choose to kill Scarface was because he knew that even if he made a move, he wouldn't be able to kill Scarface! The blood mist that Marguerite used was indeed strange and powerful. However, such a strange and powerful method, with Marguerite's current strength at the peak of an Intermediate Apprentice, was extremely strenuous. It was already rare for Marguerite to be able to hold on for such a long time. It was simply impossible for her to finish off Scarface with him! As for Connor, who had faced Scarface head on, he knew how terrifying Scarface was. If he made a move alone, he wouldn't be able to kill Scarface!
"Fortunately, I drank the potion. I'll be fine after a few days of recovery!" As if she didn't expect Connor to actually care about her safety, Marguerite's tone was calm, but the coldness in her eyes had melted quite a bit.
"I did something to Avilova's brain and erased some of her memories. Even if Scarface searched her soul, he wouldn't be able to find the location of the magic stone mine. I'm sure of this!" Connor said in a deep voice. This was now his most powerful bargaining chip!
"What do you want to do?" Marguerite's tone was very serious.
"When I was a beginner Apprentice, you and I could kill Snake Eye. Now that my strength has increased greatly, why should we be afraid of that guy if we join hands?" Looking at Marguerite's beautiful eyes, Connor said in a deep voice. His tone was full of undisguised killing intent!
"I can only use Demonic Blood Possession once in three years!" Carefully sizing up the ruthless Connor, Marguerite said faintly.
Hearing Marguerite say that she couldn't become an Advanced Apprentice, Connor's expression froze. After thinking for a while, he stared at Marguerite and said, "I can give you another 10% of the magic stone mine. Can you think of a way?"
"If I use Demonic Blood Possession again, I'll die!" Hearing Connor actually use benefits to tempt her, for some reason, a trace of anger appeared in Marguerite's words.
"There's always a way!" Since Margaret had said so, Connor naturally couldn't say anything else. He could only smile bitterly and mutter to himself in a low voice, "That's right.
Looking at Connor's seemingly lonely appearance, Marguerite's anger seemed to have disappeared. She said softly, "If you want to kill that Scar Face, I'll help you!"
Marguerite's soft and gentle voice attracted Connor's attention. He looked at Marguerite in astonishment. After working with Marguerite for so long, he had never heard Marguerite speak to him so gently.
Seeing Connor's astonished expression, Marguerite's eyes seemed to have a trace of panic. As if to hide it, she hurriedly said without any emotion, "What are you looking at? That guy obviously doesn't have good intentions. Working with him, in the words of Emperor Lauer, is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin! "
Hearing the idiom "asking a tiger for its skin" from Marguerite's red lips, a trace of a smile appeared on Connor's face. Marguerite's support for him made his heart feel warm.
This wasn't the first time Connor met this Scar Face man, but the second time. Furthermore, the time between the two times was very short. This Scar Face man was the person who spent a sky-high price of 6000 gold guineas to buy the "Odin Blood Tiger" that Connor wanted very much. After buying the Odin Blood Tiger, this Scar Face man was very confident. He waited until the auction ended and the free exchange ended before leaving. This confidence left a deep impression on Connor. Connor definitely wouldn't recognize the wrong person!
The rumored Body Refining Sorcerer, the cultivation of an Advanced Sorcerer Apprentice, and a Grade 2 Magic Crossguard Sword. This Scar Face man indeed has the strength to be confident! Connor knew that if the Scar Face man didn't recognize that his Shadow Chain was an innate spell that came with a high-grade meditation technique and was afraid of his background, he wouldn't have been able to delay him for more than three minutes!
Connor really didn't expect that this Scar Face man was actually a member of Benfica's Secret Order. Furthermore, he came here to compete with him for the magic stone mine! However, from Scar Face's words, this Scar Face man didn't seem to have come for the magic stone mine in the beginning, but for Avilova. He wanted to turn Avilova into his cauldron and then search her soul to find out about the magic stone mine from Avilova's sea of consciousness!
Fortunately, Connor's usual cautiousness helped him. Before returning to Loen, Connor directly deleted all memories of the magic stone mine's location from Avilova's sea of consciousness just in case. Connor was confident that Avilova wouldn't be able to play any tricks on him. This Scar Face man also indirectly confirmed Connor's guess. If Scar Face knew the location of the magic stone mine, he probably wouldn't discuss any cooperation with him and would want to take it for himself!
Marguerite was right. The cooperation with Scar Face wouldn't be smooth sailing. That guy's strength, be it himself or Marguerite, far exceeded his. Only by being with Marguerite could he have the strength to fight this guy. And the problem was that he and Marguerite couldn't be together all the time. Even if he and Marguerite chose to compromise and cooperate with him to mine the magic stone mine, Scar Face would definitely find an opportunity to get rid of him and Marguerite!
And most importantly, as long as he and Marguerite worked together, from mining the magic stone mine to using the magic stones in the end, he and Marguerite would be completely self-sufficient. There was no need for anyone else to interfere, let alone in such a way!
Taking out a magic stone from his spatial ring, Connor looked at the sparkling luster on the magic stone and felt the magic power contained in it. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It was impossible to cooperate with Scar Face to mine the magic stone mine. Now, there were two choices in front of him. He could either work with Marguerite to fight Scar Face and try to get rid of him, or he could return to Loen with Marguerite dejectedly. As for the magic stone mine, it wouldn't run away anyway, so he could consider it at length. However, he was afraid that Scar Face, who had been fooled by him and Marguerite, would harden his heart and report the matter of the magic stone mine to the Benfica Secret Order. With the ability of an organization, they might really find the magic stone mine!
