"Are you really going to let her go just like that?" Looking at Martina's departing figure, Marguerite, whose expression had turned for the better, stood beside Connor and said with a complicated tone, "Both of us know that the relationship between the two of us is a secret.
"You and I both know that this matter has already confirmed the relationship between Edward and the Secret Society. Therefore, if Martina didn't help us weave a perfect explanation for Emoson's death, the two of us would've had to leave Loen now!" Connor analyzed calmly. At this point, Connor paused for a moment and looked at Marguerite with a faint smile. "Also, you made her swear an oath under the witness of the Eye of Arbitration, and then forced her to swear another oath with the Shadow Blood Oath. With these two oaths in effect, are you still worried, Marguerite?"
"It's better to be careful!" Marguerite emphasized to Connor as she rolled her eyes at Connor.
"It's getting late. Marguerite, go back and deal with the Church's matters. I'll deal with the traces of battle here." Connor glanced at the messy factory and solemnly said to Marguerite, "Don't worry.
"Alright, be careful!" Marguerite didn't object to Connor's suggestion. After exhorting Connor, she hurriedly left the factory.
As soon as Marguerite left, Connor began his work. Cleaning up the traces of battle in the factory was a very tedious task. Unlike when he wiped out Mariano, this time, Connor only had to remove part of the traces of battle. As he wanted to mislead Edward and Old Victor, Connor had to keep the traces of battle intact. Although it seemed like the workload was reduced, the difficulty of the task had increased. Therefore, Connor had to spend more energy and time on it.
Two hours later, the sky was already dark. After dealing with everything, Connor walked out of the factory looking a little tired. He didn't intend to return to his apartment. Instead, he planned to go to his safe house on Ramsey Street. Although Connor had tried his best to get through this crisis smoothly, he honestly had no idea how things would develop. So, just in case, Connor was prepared to make the safest plan.
It had to be said that Connor's plan was very good. He planned to observe the changes in the safe house. However, the development of things often couldn't keep up with the changes. As expected, when Connor walked out of the Zach Textile Factory and was about to head to Ramsey Street in the North District, he spotted a familiar figure in the dark.
Taking advantage of the darkness, Paredes was about to sneak into the Zach Textile Factory. When he saw Connor walking out of the factory, his expression changed. Connor and Paredes looked at each other. Both of them could see the surprise in each other's eyes. Connor's reaction was very fast. His eyes flashed with a hint of killing intent. He immediately organized his words and wanted to feign civility with Paredes so that Paredes would let his guard down. Then, he could kill him. There was no doubt that Paredes wanted to enter the Zach Textile Factory. Connor had to make him shut up forever.
Just when Connor was about to open his mouth, a scene happened that made him speechless. Maybe it was because Connor had left a terrifying impression on Paredes last time. This time, as soon as he saw Connor, Paredes' face was filled with fear. Without any communication with Connor, Paredes directly rushed into a nearby alley in an attempt to get rid of Connor.
Seeing Paredes' actions, Connor touched his nose. A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes. Paredes was too naive. Did he think that he could get rid of him like this?
"Phew … Phew … Phew …"
For the sake of his own life, Paredes was really going all out. As an intermediate Apprentice Adept, he was actually panting heavily in the process of escaping. From this, it could be seen how panicked he was, and how scared he was of Connor!
Ever since he was beaten half to death by Connor, Paredes' hatred for Connor didn't decrease with the passage of time. On the contrary, it increased day by day. Paredes had cursed Connor countless times. He even asked if he could use curses to take revenge on Connor. If it wasn't for the lack of information on Connor's body, Paredes would have already cursed Connor.
Although he couldn't wait to drink Connor's blood, eat Connor's flesh, and skin him alive, when Connor really appeared in front of him, what appeared in Paredes' mind wasn't hatred for Connor. Instead, it was the bone-deep fear. The hatred and fear of the past instantly disappeared from Paredes' mind. There was only one thought in his mind, and that was to run as far away as possible. He wanted to avoid Connor's terrifying demon forever. In the end, Paredes listened to his inner thoughts.
After running all the way to Cairo Community, which was five streets away from Zach's textile factory, Paredes, who felt a little exhausted, finally had the courage to look back. Looking at the empty and quiet road behind him, Paredes, who was sweating and pale, finally stopped running. He let out a long sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed!
"Connor Ferguson, you son of a bitch! Sooner or later, I will make you and your shitty Ferguson family pay the price, especially those rich ladies in your family. They will pay the price for your actions!" He spat on the ground, but he didn't find any trace of Connor. The fear in Paredes' mind rose again and disappeared without a trace. Hatred and resentment once again took over his mind. He cursed in a low voice fiercely. When he said the word "noblewoman," his dark pupils revealed a cruel and excited light. It seemed that he had already begun to imagine.
"Wait, why did that son of a bitch only come out of Zach's textile factory now? Where is Emoson? There must be something wrong. I have to report it to Steward Victor as soon as possible! " Although Paredes' mind was extremely gloomy, he was still very smart after his mind cleared up. He immediately identified the direction and walked towards the forest near Cairo Community. Dozens of miles away from the forest was Senxi Villa, where Connor had met Old Victor last time.
