"That's right. There's a great opportunity to get rid of Mariano in a week's time, and I was planning to meet you tomorrow to discuss a solution. However, since you're also involved in this matter today, Connor, let's do it today. I'll purposely lead a team to patrol the North District's Almond Street tonight, and I'll end today's work there at 11: 30 pm. It's already too late to report to Edward!"
"Mariano got married a year ago, and he's a good father and husband, so he'll definitely choose to go home to spend time with his wife and children. He'll then find a suitable time to report to Edward tomorrow. He lives in the North District's Winst Street, and no matter where he goes, he'll definitely pass by the North District's Kanter Street, which is the Eye of the Storm's blind spot …" Marguerite quickly explained her plan to Connor.
After hearing Marguerite's plan word for word, Connor shrugged and said meaningfully, "Why do I feel like I've been tricked by you, Marguerite? Mariano is only an intermediate wizard apprentice. How did he find me in the crowd just now?"
A sly light flashed in Marguerite's beautiful eyes behind the veil, and she said in a coquettish tone, "Mariano is a wizard of the spirit element, just like you, Connor. Maybe he has some special ability, or maybe there's a special connection between wizards of the spirit element?"
Looking at Marguerite's reaction, Connor shook his head with a wry smile. He then raised a finger and said seriously, "This is the first time, and also the last time!"
"No problem! I promise there won't be a next time … "Hearing Connor's promise, Marguerite's beautiful face behind the purple veil bloomed into a bright smile.
Seeing that Marguerite had nothing else to tell him, Connor turned around and walked out of the coffee shop. He had already wasted too much time here, and Varga was still waiting for him in the safe house.
Twenty minutes later, Connor, who was sitting in a carriage, arrived at the street where the safe house was located. As soon as Connor got off the carriage, he saw Varhua, who was neatly dressed with a serious face and a hint of worry in her eyes, coming out of the safe house. She was walking in the direction of the station. It seemed that she was returning to the Felix Building.
However, when she saw Connor getting out of the carriage, Varga was stunned. Then, a touch of excitement appeared on her beautiful face, and she threw herself into Connor's arms without hesitation.
Stroking Varga's soft hair and feeling Varga's worry for him, Connor's cold face softened. He hugged Varga in his arms and lowered his head to whisper in her ear, "Good girl, I'm back safe and sound now."
"Yes!" Because the social atmosphere of the Kaman Empire was still very conservative, when Varga felt the strange gazes of the pedestrians on the street, she instantly blushed and struggled out of Connor's arms.
"Let's go back!" Seeing Varga's girlish behavior, Connor smiled and held Varga's soft, white hand as they returned to their safe house.
After returning to the safe house, Connor and Varga, driven by excitement and hormones, naturally did some shameful and indescribable things in their own little world.
After a few hours, Varga lazily rested her head on Connor's arm and said in a low voice, "I originally wanted to let Connor observe the James Trading Company and see if there's a chance for us to cooperate. After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend. I didn't expect this to happen."
Hearing Varga's self-blame, Connor patted Varga's smooth back gently and said meaningfully, "Today's scene in the Felix Building, I discovered a lot of interesting things!"
"What do you mean?" Hearing Connor's words, Varga's interest was aroused. She moved closer to Connor and asked him back curiously.
"First of all, Varga, if the James Trading Company got the news that Old Victor was going to do something to them, do you think they would leave quietly or move in a big way like today?" Connor sneered and said calmly.
Varga was very smart, but he didn't know what Connor was talking about. He immediately realized what Connor meant and continued to ask, "Connor, do you mean that … the James Trading Company already ran away in advance after they got the news, and those who moved for them were just a cover-up?"
"I think that's the case. This should be a golden cicada shedding its carapace. I noticed that apart from a few ordinary white-collar workers and a big bald guy, the rest of the people who moved for the James Trading Company today are all from Logan Moving Company. Oh right, that big bald guy is the advanced wizard apprentice you mentioned, right? "Connor recalled the scene in the Felix Building a few hours ago.
"Yes, that baldy's name is Matulov. Back then, he represented the James Trading Company to trade medicine with Teacher Gursy. It was from this clue that I discovered that the James Trading Company was a secret stronghold planted by the king's faction in Loen. On the surface, his identity is the deputy general manager of the James Trading Company!" Valga nodded and said without hesitation.
"Matulov … Matulov … He's from Odin?" After pondering over the name 'Matulov', and recalling the appearance of that baldy, Connor asked Valga with some surprise, "What about Matulov?
"I'm not too sure about that, but the name Matulov used to mean beast tamer in Odin's language, so Matulov should be related to Odin." Varga thought for a while and said.
Connor nodded slightly to show that he understood. He then narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought. Seeing that Connor ignored him, Varga was so angry that he pinched the soft flesh on Connor's waist.
"What are you doing?" Feeling the pain from his nerve endings, Connor hurriedly grabbed Valga's small hand that was pinching him.
