"Whether or not Marguerite is a member of the Church of the Storm isn't important. What's important is that you know that this matter won't implicate you." Martina seemed to have expected that Connor would ask this question. She answered Connor's question without hesitation.
"How can you guarantee that this matter won't implicate me?" Connor furrowed his brows and continued to ask.
"Actually, Connor, you have two options right now. The first is to give up this operation and return to your apartment. However, the plan you saw will become a reality. The second is to choose to believe in the Secret Society and continue with the operation. Connor Ferguson, you still have the right to choose. " Martina didn't hide her threat to Connor at all. Her eyes even carried a hint of the pleasure of revenge.
A sneer emerged in his heart, but on the surface, Connor still pretended to hesitate for a moment. He then clenched his teeth and said to Martina, "You know that my mentor is a professor. If you dare to plot against me behind my back, my mentor won't let you off!"
"Don't worry! Even if the operation fails, Connor, your safety won't be a problem! "A hint of disdain flashed through Martina's eyes. She then seemed to be comforting Connor as she said:
"Who's participating in this operation?" After receiving Martina's comfort, Connor seemed to be more at ease. He muttered to himself for a moment before asking Martina:
"Paredes is in charge of monitoring Marguerite. Apart from you and me, there's another advanced apprentice with decent strength. He's currently scouting the environment. You'll be able to see him tonight!" Martina looked at Connor and answered Connor's question.
Narrowing his eyes, Connor silently calculated in his heart. "If what Martina said is true, then three advanced apprentices are going to deal with Marguerite at the same time. Ever since the Odin's Blood Pool incident in the underground palace, Marguerite's strength should have increased a lot. However, Martina has a grade 2 magic item in her hands. Since Martina said that the advanced apprentice who went to scout the environment has decent strength, it means that this guy who hasn't shown himself yet isn't any weaker than Martina."
"In a one on one situation, with Marguerite's strength, Connor believes that she can defeat Martina. However, if Martina and that advanced apprentice who hasn't shown himself were to deal with Marguerite together, Connor believes that although Marguerite would be defeated, she would still be able to keep her life. However, if he didn't exist, and the secret society sent someone else to deal with Marguerite together with Martina and that advanced apprentice who hasn't shown himself yet, there's a high probability that Marguerite would be killed. Therefore, the biggest variable in the secret society's operation against Marguerite this time is himself. If Connor were to betray them at the crucial moment, then Martina and that man who hasn't shown himself yet would be in danger!"
Thinking of this, Connor's heart couldn't help but become lively. He subconsciously raised his head and looked at Martina who was beside him. His gaze just happened to meet Martina's gaze. When their eyes met, Connor's heart calmed down.
Connor knew that if he and Marguerite were to carefully plan and coordinate with each other, Martina and that advanced apprentice would most likely be killed by him. However, if Connor really did that, Connor would have to immediately deal with Old Victor and kill him. Otherwise, Old Victor, that sly old fox, would definitely think that he was the one behind it. When that time came, Old Victor would definitely make a move on him! Connor was still looking for a way to kill Old Victor and deal with the aftermath. Before this problem was solved, if he recklessly fought with Old Victor, even if he was lucky enough to kill Old Victor, he would be attracted by Reyes. If that was the case, then everything would be meaningless.
After thinking everything through, Connor met Martina's gaze and nodded. He said, "Loen is still the traditional sphere of influence of the Church of the Storm. The Church of the Storm is very powerful here. We have to deal a fatal blow and kill Marguerite in one go. Otherwise, the Church of the Storm won't give us a second chance. I can make an alchemy trap. Once Marguerite falls into it, with the three of us, she won't have any chance of survival. She will definitely die!"
Upon hearing Connor's suggestion, Martina pondered for a moment. Then, she looked at Connor and said, "That's a good suggestion!"
"If you want to do this, Martina, it's best to discuss it with me. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't discuss it with me. If the three of us of the same rank kill Marguerite, the chances of Marguerite surviving will not exceed 20%." Connor said deliberately. He knew that with Martina's character, she wouldn't be willing to take on a 20% chance of failure.
"Don't worry. When that person returns from exploring the environment, the three of us can meet tonight to discuss how to deal with Marguerite. Connor, your alchemy trap will be our priority to deal with Marguerite this time!" Just as Connor expected, Marguerite nodded and made the judgment that Connor wanted.
"In that case, I'll make a move first and go to the black market to buy some materials for setting up alchemy traps!" After saying that, Connor stood up and wanted to leave the bank's VIP room. However, Connor had only taken one step when he heard Martina's leisurely voice behind him.
"No need, Connor. There's no need for you to go to the black market to look for alchemy materials. This operation is of great importance, and Steward Victor attaches great importance to it. He has already decided to open the secret society's treasury in Loen to you, Connor. After we discuss it tonight, make a list of the materials you need to make an alchemy trap and give it to me. I'll give you everything you want."
Connor's heart sank when he heard Martina's voice. However, after going through so many storms, Connor still had some shrewdness. He didn't panic at all. Connor turned around and returned to his previous seat. He looked at Martina and said indifferently, "Very good. It's great that the secret society is willing to bear the responsibility. Otherwise, I'll feel the pinch when I have so many alchemy materials. Now, where shall I go with you?"
"Raphael Manor!" Martina's red lips parted slightly and told Connor the address. She then put on a top hat from her spatial ring and walked out of the bank's VIP room.
Connor's eyes flickered with a cold glint. He followed behind Martina and walked out of the bank's VIP room. At this moment, a black horse-drawn carriage was parked in front of the bank's entrance. Martina didn't hesitate when she saw the black horse-drawn carriage and led Connor onto it.
