"Okay, I promise you I'll give it a try!" Marguerite thought for a while and gave Connor an affirmative answer.
Hearing Marguerite agree to his plan, Connor's face finally revealed a smile. His plan needed Marguerite's help. Even if everything went smoothly, the magic stone bomb would seriously injure Scarface. Connor wouldn't be able to kill Scarface alone. If he couldn't kill Scarface, then it would really be troublesome!
After the general plan was set, Connor and Marguerite didn't stop. Instead, they seriously discussed how to delay Connor's modification of the magic stone bomb and a series of details about where to fake the magic stone mine to place the magic stone bomb.
The next morning, Connor and Marguerite arrived at Scarface's manor as agreed. Perhaps because he had tasted Connor and Marguerite's power last time, Scarface didn't play any tricks with Connor and Marguerite this time. Instead, he very happily appeared in front of the two of them!
"Have the two of you made up your minds?" Glancing at Connor and Marguerite, Scarface's ferocious face revealed a trace of pride. Obviously, he knew that since Connor and Marguerite appeared here, they naturally intended to agree to his request!
Scarface's face was full of smiles. There was no trace of the sorry state he was in three days ago. It was as if the scars from the fierce battle three days ago didn't exist at all!
Connor and Marguerite looked at each other and exchanged glances. Connor coughed lightly and said, "Since you insist on joining our plan, what can you bring us?"
Hearing this, the bright smile on Scarface's face immediately disappeared. He coldly snorted, and his powerful silver cross blade appeared in his hand. Then, he lightly flicked the blade of the cross blade, and the cross blade immediately let out a buzzing sound.
Looking at Scarface's behavior, Connor's eyes subconsciously narrowed. Beside him, Marguerite's jade-like hands also clenched tightly.
"Me not interfering with your mining is already the greatest help I can give you. Eighty percent of the Magic Stones mined from the Magic Stone Mine will be given to me. You two will each get ten percent. How about that? Isn't that fair?" Scarface threatened with his cross blade in hand.
Hearing Scarface's threat, Connor took a deep breath and took a step forward to shield Marguerite with his body. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "We've already given in by agreeing to let you join our plan to mine the magic stone mine. Forgive me for being blunt, but if you intend to gain something without risking anything, then there's no need to talk. Let's fight!"
Seeing Connor's unyielding attitude, Scarface sneered and said, "War? You two Intermediate Apprentice Adepts, don't tell me you think you have the ability to fight me after tricking me when I wasn't paying attention? If that's really what you think, then you're gravely mistaken! "
Scarface's voice had just faded when the terrifying energy of an Advanced Apprentice Adept emerged from his body, suppressing Connor and Marguerite!
Feeling this powerful pressure, Connor's face immediately changed, but his heart relaxed. Just now, he had displayed an attitude of not hesitating to fight. In fact, it was a risky move. He had gambled on the fact that Scarface was somewhat afraid of him and Marguerite in the previous fierce battle. Now it seemed that he had made the right bet. This Scarface was indeed afraid of the two of them. Otherwise, Scarface would not have used his aura to suppress them, but would have directly attacked!
"We know our strength is not as good as yours, but the two of us are not people you can casually bully. We're not fools. Since we dared to come here, we naturally have the ability to escape unscathed!" Strategically showing a wave of weakness, Connor changed the topic and said, "Before we came here, the two of us agreed that we'll give you at most fifty percent of the Magic Stone Mine, but you also have to pay something!"
"Fifty percent? What do you want me to pay? " Just as Connor had expected, Scarface's expression improved a lot when he heard that Connor was willing to give him fifty percent.
"Catch people! Mining the Magic Stone Mine requires at least ten able-bodied men as miners! You're responsible for catching these ten people! "Connor coldly said the excuse he had already thought of.
"I'm catching people, what are you two doing?" Thinking carefully, Scarface looked at Marguerite and Connor and said.
"The two of us found the Magic Stone Mine, and found an Alchemist to refine the Magic Stone Mine into usable Magic Stones!" Connor said without hesitation in a deep voice.
Hearing Connor's explanation, Scarface's expression slowly returned to normal. He also retracted his aura pressure on Connor and Marguerite and said in a serious voice, "Alright, I can promise you. Now you should bring me to see the Magic Stone Mine!"
"No, I can only tell you after you've caught everyone!" As expected, Scarface requested to take a look at the Magic Stone Mine. However, Connor did not hesitate in the slightest and flatly rejected his request!
Connor's refusal clearly caused a trace of anger to surface on Scarface's face. But for some reason, he didn't vent his anger. He fiercely glared at Connor for a while and said darkly, "One week! I'll catch people in a week, you'd better not play any tricks with me then! "
Faced with Scarface's undisguised threat, Connor did not mind at all. He said indifferently, "It's a deal. Bring people back in a week, and I'll give you the location of the Magic Stone Mine with both hands. However, you must remember to be careful and secretive. Don't catch people near Tunguska!"
"Hmph! Do I need you to tell me this? "Scarface said with some dissatisfaction.
"Then the two of us will take our leave first. See you in a week!" After everything was settled, Connor and Marguerite looked at each other and left Scarface's manor.
After returning to the rented house, Connor poured himself a glass of red wine and said to Marguerite playfully, "How was it? I was right, wasn't I? Scarface never thought of cooperating with us. He just wanted to get the location of the Magic Stone Mine from us and take it for himself!"
Glancing at Connor, Marguerite did not refute Connor's words. Instead, she poured herself a glass of red wine and drank it in one gulp before saying to Connor, "It's in your hands!"
Hearing Marguerite's words, Connor laughed dryly and said seriously, "Marguerite, you and I have been through so many things together. I still have a lot of trust in you. I can take you to see the Magic Stone Mine tomorrow."
Sensing Connor's sincere attitude, Marguerite did not pursue the matter and asked, "What do you plan to do next?"
