"You talk too much! Did I ask you a question? " The blue-robed arbitrator looked at the pitiful Captain J and said indifferently. He then shifted his gaze back to Connor and said coldly, "I told you to come here!"
A faint smile appeared at the corner of Connor's mouth. Following the blue-robed arbitrator's request, Connor walked towards him. Since someone wanted to court death, Connor couldn't stop him, right? When the blue-robed arbitrator taught Captain J a lesson, Connor had already seen through his background. This reckless fellow was actually a spirit type Magus just like him. Although it was a little unexpected, this was the second spirit type Magus that Connor had seen after his mentor Reyes, after roaming the Magus World for so long and seeing over a hundred Magi.
With a smile on his face, Connor walked within ten steps of the blue-robed arbitrator under his puzzled gaze. Just before Connor made his move, a voice that Connor could not be more familiar with came from the cafe on the street. "Mariano, come here. I have something to tell you."
When he heard the voice, Connor turned his head and looked towards the source of the voice. A graceful figure wearing a purple veil appeared in Connor's line of sight. When he saw Marguerite, Connor's heart relaxed. He knew that he, Connor Ferguson, had passed today's test. Otherwise, he would have directly killed this blue-robed arbitrator and fled. Even though he could easily shake off this team of arbitrators, Connor would have to bear the risk of being hunted down.
The blue-robed arbitrator, who was called Mariano by Marguerite, hesitated for a moment when he heard Marguerite's words. He looked deeply at Connor and said threateningly, "Stay here and don't leave!" After saying that, he turned and walked towards the coffee shop on the side of the street where Marguerite was.
When he heard the blue-robed arbitrator's threat, a murderous intent flashed across Connor's eyes. He looked towards the coffee shop from the corner of his eyes. Connor saw that Marguerite seemed to be saying something to Mariano, who was frowning and glancing at him from time to time.
Three minutes later, Mariano nodded at Marguerite, bowed, and walked out of the coffee shop. When he walked back to Connor, his hostility towards Connor had lessened a lot. Connor couldn't help but wonder what Marguerite had said to him.
"Master wants you to go over. She has something to say to you!" Mariano looked deeply at Connor again and said calmly.
Connor nodded slightly as a greeting and walked towards the coffee shop where Marguerite was. Upon entering the coffee shop, Connor subconsciously walked towards the chair opposite Marguerite, but as soon as he moved, he heard Marguerite's voice transmission. "Stand next to me. Don't sit down. I just told that guy that you're a secret agent of the Church …"
Hearing that he was being 'investigated', Connor touched his nose awkwardly. He then glanced at the blue-robed arbitrator Mariano who was secretly looking at him on the street. He suddenly realized why this bastard's hostility had lessened a lot. It turned out that he heard that Connor was a secret agent of the Church of the Storm. The Loen region and even the entire Kaman Empire's west coast were under the influence of the Church of the Storm. Informants and spies of the Church of the Storm were everywhere. Marguerite's excuse was very reasonable.
Under Mariano's peeping, Connor pretended to be a secret agent and stood respectfully beside Marguerite. He then whispered to Marguerite, "Didn't you go looking for the assassins of the Skull and Bones Society? Why are you here?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you that? Why are you here? "Marguerite glanced at Connor under the veil and said with a faint smile.
"Felix Building is a trap, a very deep trap," Connor said to Marguerite meaningfully.
"I've also just received Edward's orders. He wants us to temporarily stop the search for the Skull and Bones Association's assassins. Together with the Loen's military police, we will seal off the streets and check for suspicious people!" Margaret sighed slightly as she said to Connor faintly.
"That person is called Mariano?" Realizing that the blue-robed Arbiter was still secretly observing him, Connor raised his head and glanced at him before asking Marguerite.
"That's right! He's the captain of this Arbiter Squad and is Edward's man. Under normal circumstances, the captain of the Arbiter Squad should be an advanced Apprentice Adept. However, Edward, who was still the Arbiter Commander of Loen at that time, supported Mariano, who was still an intermediate Apprentice Adept, to the position of captain. That's why this guy has always been grateful to Edward and is loyal to him! " Hearing Connor's question, for some unknown reason, Marguerite also explained Mariano's background while answering.
Noticing Marguerite's abnormality, Connor looked at Marguerite and said, "Is there anything I can do?"
"Mariano is Edward's man. Although I'm currently leading him, he won't completely believe what I say. He will definitely report your situation to Edward when he returns!" Without directly answering Connor's question, Marguerite looked into Connor's eyes and said solemnly, pausing between each word.
"What do you mean? Do you need me to do something to him? " Hearing the meaning behind Marguerite's words, Connor sensed that something was amiss. He narrowed his eyes and probed.
"Alright, Connor, you don't have to test me. I admit that Mariano was placed by Edward to monitor me. I only discovered this recently. Connor, I need you to help me get rid of Mariano. Believe me, Connor, this is not only beneficial to me, but also to you. When we return to the headquarters, Mariano will definitely report your situation to Edward. By then, Connor, you and I will both be in trouble!" Seeing that Connor had already realized something, Marguerite, who knew Connor's character well, did not hide anything and confessed everything to Connor.
With a few glimmers in his eyes, Connor said calmly to Marguerite, "It seems that you have a suitable plan, Marguerite?"
