The next morning, Connor and Martina left the villa early in the morning and arrived at their ambush location, Zach Textile Factory. Emoson, on the other hand, didn't move with them. Instead, he left the textile factory alone. Emoson didn't tell Connor what he was going to do.
Connor narrowed his eyes when he walked into the factory where the magic circle was set up. He immediately realized that the location where he buried the metal bodies yesterday had been completely disguised. If he hadn't set up the magic circle and buried the metal bodies himself, it would have been very difficult for him to discover any clues with his powerful mental strength.
Connor didn't really care about this, but since Martina was still by his side, Connor appropriately expressed his approval of Emoson's work. He clapped his hands and praised, "Letting Mr. Emoson do the disguise is really the right decision. If I were to do it myself, I definitely wouldn't be able to do it so well!"
"Do you still intend to hide your real name from Emosson?" Martina didn't continue Connor's topic. Instead, she changed the topic and asked.
Instead, she changed the topic and asked, "Why? Do I still have a chance to work with him?" Although Connor sneered in his heart, he still turned to look at Martina and asked with interest, "What's the matter?
Martina stroked the loose hair on her forehead and said expressionlessly, "Emoson was transferred from the Khoy Continent by the higher-ups. After this operation is over, the higher-ups will conduct an evaluation before deciding whether Emoson will return to the Khoy Continent or stay in Loen!"
"What does that have to do with me?" Connor snorted and shrugged.
"I heard that Varga was once your classmate at Greene University?" Martina didn't directly answer Connor's question. Instead, she took a deep look at Connor and asked a question that surprised Connor.
"You know Varga?" Hearing Martina mention Varga's name, Connor immediately narrowed his eyes. Then, he pretended as if nothing had happened and asked Martina, "After the operation is over, the operation will be over.
"Once the operation is over, if everything goes well, Connor, you will regain your freedom. When that time comes, you might as well look for Varga!" A meaningful smile appeared on Martina's cold face in Connor's eyes. After the smile faded, Martina seemed to have thought of something. She said to Connor in a low voice, "I'm sure you've already guessed Emoson's identity after your fight with him yesterday. He's an assassin, so he's not as kind as you think. He's best at playing dirty tricks behind people's backs …"
After saying that, Martina turned around and walked out of the factory without checking if Connor understood her words. She left Connor alone in the empty factory.
Looking at Martina's graceful back as she walked away, a trace of doubt appeared in Connor's eyes. What Martina said to him just now, he could completely interpret it as Martina expressing goodwill to him. But why would Martina do that, and what was her intention in mentioning Valga?
Connor stood in place and thought for a few minutes, but he still couldn't figure out why Martina would do that. After a while, Connor's eyes lit up. Since he couldn't figure it out, he might as well not think about it anymore. Anyway, there was a high chance that Martina and Emoson would be killed by him. He couldn't figure it out now, but when the time came, he could use the Spirit Manipulation on Martina to see what she was planning!
An hour later, Martina walked into the factory again. This time, her expression was very solemn. When she saw Connor, she immediately said, "The operation has begun. Marguerite will appear in about ten minutes!"
Connor nodded solemnly at Martina. When he appeared again, he was already on the roof beam of the factory. This was the hiding spot that Connor had prepared for himself when he was setting up the formation. Seeing Connor hiding on the roof beam, Martina didn't want to be outdone and hid in the hiding spot she had prepared.
Martina said ten minutes, but only five minutes later, Marguerite's familiar aura appeared in Connor's mental power perception. However, what surprised Connor was that his target, Marguerite, had appeared, but Emoson, the assassin, hadn't appeared.
Frowning slightly, Connor felt a little uneasy. There were only two possibilities why Emoson hadn't appeared yet. The first was that he hadn't come yet, and the second was that he had come, but Connor's mental power couldn't perceive his presence. Today was the deadline for the operation, so the possibility of Emoson not coming was very small. However, the second possibility was also somewhat unlikely. Based on Connor's understanding of Emoson over the past few days, his concealment ability as an assassin wasn't bad. However, if he was facing Connor, he was completely inferior. Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for Emoson to hide from his mental power perception. Unless Emoson's concealment ability had greatly improved in the past few hours …
Just as Connor was thinking about Emoson, Marguerite was getting closer and closer. She was only a few hundred meters away from the factory where Connor and Martina were lying in ambush. Judging from her aura, it was just as Martina had said. At this moment, Marguerite was alone. The small team of arbitrators that Edward had assigned to her to lead had completely disappeared.
Connor couldn't sense any trace of Emoson with his mental power, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Taking a deep breath, Connor silently warned himself, Emoson is definitely here!
"Boom!"
A huge dark blue ice blade smashed the metal door of the abandoned factory where Connor and Martina were lying in ambush into pieces. In the next second, Marguerite, wearing a purple veil and holding the tier-2 magic weapon that Connor had seen before, cautiously walked in through the door.
Looking at Marguerite who had just entered the door, Connor suddenly had an idea. He secretly released a fierce aura. Sensing the sudden appearance of a powerful and fierce aura in the originally empty factory, although Connor had already told her that there was an ambush here, Marguerite still made her choice subconsciously. As soon as she entered the door, she immediately wanted to escape from the factory.
Just as Connor had expected, as soon as Marguerite made her move, a grey figure darted out from behind a thick pillar in the factory without any warning and blocked Marguerite's path.
