"Tap … Tap … Tap … Tap …"
Connor didn't give an immediate answer to Martina's question. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and tapped his fingers on the table. He seemed to have sunk into deep thought. Both Emoson and Martina shut their mouths when they saw that Connor was deep in thought. They didn't want to disturb Connor.
Ten minutes later, a glint flashed in Connor's eyes as he slowly said, "The power of any alchemy array or mechanism varies from person to person. I haven't come into contact with it until now, and I haven't even seen her in person. The target of this operation is Marguerite, so I'll say the ugly words first. I can't guarantee that the alchemy array I set up will be completely effective against Marguerite!"
"Of course. In fact, with the strength of the three of us, we could have easily gotten rid of Margaret. The reason why we set up the alchemy array and the mechanism was just to be prepared for any eventuality. It's just a layer of insurance for this operation!" Martina and Emoson exchanged glances and made a decision. "Alright.
"Very well, how long do I have?" Connor nodded and continued asking.
"Is three days enough?" Martina asked softly after thinking for a bit.
"Three days? Haha, Martina, if you're serious, then I'll have to ask someone else! "Connor sneered when he heard that Martina only gave him three days.
"We don't have much time. Marguerite might appear at Zach Textile Factory at any time!" Martina said to Connor very seriously.
"Martina, you've studied alchemy before? Tell me, how long would it take to create an alchemy array that meets your requirements? "Connor didn't seem to have any scruples as he directly went tit for tat with Martina.
Just as Connor and Martina were getting angrier and angrier, Emoson, who was sitting to the side, hurriedly mediated. "Please calm down, don't hurt the harmony between the two of you. Our operation time is tight and the mission is important. The higher-ups also attach great importance to it, so Martina is also under a lot of pressure. How about this, Mr. Kane, how long would it take for you to create these things?"
After hearing Emoson's words, Connor thought for a bit before taking out a piece of paper and a pen from his spatial ring. He then used the pen to write on the paper. A minute later, Connor handed the paper filled with the names and quantities of alchemy materials to Martina. He then said in a deep voice, "Give me these things within three hours. I'll give them to you in five days!"
Martina took the paper from Connor's hand. She didn't even have time to look at it before she turned and left, heading to her room on the second floor.
Watching Connor leave, the gentle smile on Emoson's face disappeared. He then took out a small round ball from his pocket and placed it in the middle of the room to release a transparent barrier. After doing all this, he turned to look at Martina who was seriously checking the list of materials and said with a faint smile, "How is it? What kind of materials does our Mr. Kane need? "
Putting down the list of materials in her hand, Martina shook her head bitterly and said, "His alchemy level is way above mine. Seriously speaking, I can only see that the magic circle made from these materials is almost enough to trap an advanced wizard apprentice. As for the rest of the things, I …"
"How strong is he?" Emoson stared at the stairs leading to the second floor and asked Martina this question out of the blue.
"What do you want?" Martina immediately became alert when she heard Emoson's question. She stared at Emoson closely.
Emoson shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Nothing, just asking. Martina, if it's not convenient for you to say it, then forget it."
"Emoson, you're an assassin. You're best at sneak attacks and assassinations, not head-on battles. Most importantly, he's a Spirit Adept. When you approached him, you didn't even have time to use your tricks before his Spirit discovered you. Then, you'll be crushed by an Alchemist's magic artifact. So, I advise you not to provoke him!" Martina gave her advice to Emoson very seriously.
"So he's a Spirit Adept. No wonder …" Emoson took Martina's advice to heart.
Emoson raised his eyebrows and said in realization, "He's a dangerous person.
"He's a dangerous person. You stay here and watch over him. I'll go to the secret vault and give him the materials he wants!" Martina waved the list of materials that Connor had given her and instructed Emosson, "Don't worry.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!" Emoson nodded and agreed.

Connor, who was in the room on the second floor of the villa, sneered. This Emoson really had some tricks up his sleeve. With Connor's Spirit, although he could sense the existence of the barrier downstairs, he couldn't eavesdrop on the conversation between Emoson and Martina without alerting them.
Although he couldn't hear their conversation, Connor could roughly guess what they were talking about. However, the appearance of this Emoson really surprised Connor. This guy had used a very skillful stealth method to enter the villa. It was very clever. One look and one could tell that he had spent a lot of time studying this area and had a lot of practical experience. To be able to do this, it meant that …
Connor had used the alias "Kane" in front of Emoson today. He didn't expect Emoson to believe that his real name was Kane, just like how he didn't completely believe that Emoson was really Emoson. To be honest, Connor didn't even care if Emoson knew his real identity, because five days later, Emoson might die because of Connor Ferguson's betrayal. If that was the case, what was the point of knowing more when he was already dead?
Connor was very satisfied with the argument he had with Martina about the time to create the magic circle. He could do a lot of things he wanted to do in five days. For example, he could contact Marguerite and inform her of the situation here to a certain extent. After realizing that he and Martina were very likely the people Edward had arranged to make a move on Marguerite, Connor didn't keep his promise to Marguerite and didn't protect Marguerite in secret. After all, it was up to Connor Ferguson to decide when to make a move on Marguerite.
