"Marguerite, you should have known a long time ago that the Ferguson family was hiding a treasure from the Selta Sect, right? Now that the Selta Sect has sent so many people to look for it, aren't you curious about what the treasure is, Marguerite? "Connor asked with great interest as he looked at Marguerite's face.
He paused for a moment, then looked at Marguerite and continued, "If it was someone else asking, I definitely wouldn't tell him. But if it's you, Marguerite, asking me, I'll tell you!"
Marguerite glanced at Connor. Looking at Connor's drunken look, she took the initiative to reach out the bottle in her hand and clinked it with Connor's.
"Ding!"
After clinking the bottle, Marguerite took a sip of wine under Connor's gaze. She then turned to look at Connor and asked with a faint smile, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be greedy and kill you to take the treasure?"
"I'm not afraid! Marguerite, if you want it, I'll seriously consider giving it to you! "Connor said with a faint smile on his face.
Marguerite took a deep look at Connor after hearing his words. Under her gaze, Connor's chiseled face had a faint smile, and he looked very sincere. However, Marguerite did not trust Connor at all. She gave Connor a look that said, "I'm not going to believe you." She then changed her tone and said leisurely, "Yesterday, I officially submitted an application to transfer out of Loen to Edward!"
Marguerite's words stunned Connor. A few seconds later, Connor frowned and said in confusion, "Didn't we agree on a month? Why are you still provoking … "Connor suddenly realized that Marguerite might not know about the relationship between Edward and the secret society. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
"You still want to provoke Old Victor to lay his hands on me?"
Marguerite suddenly asked just as Connor was thinking about what to say next. She even winked slyly at Connor.
Before Marguerite could finish her sentence, Connor was already shocked. However, his good control over his facial expression made it so that there was no change in his expression. This made Marguerite, who was looking at Connor, a little disappointed. Marguerite's words were exactly what Connor wanted to say. Old Victor was now clearly trying to take revenge on Marguerite. Marguerite even took the initiative to tell Edward that she wanted to transfer out of Loen. Wasn't this equivalent to Edward telling Old Victor that Marguerite was leaving Loen? If he wanted to take revenge, he had to do it quickly. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a chance.
"Connor, if you think I'm so stupid that I don't even know who set me up, what else can I say?" Marguerite shrugged helplessly at Connor. After that, Marguerite looked at Connor with interest and said meaningfully, "Connor, I'm a little surprised that you know about the relationship between Edward and the secret society. I don't remember telling you about Edward and the secret society …"
Hearing Marguerite's words, Connor's heart skipped a beat. He hesitated for a moment, but did not explain himself. He knew that at this time, it was very likely that he would expose more flaws. Besides, even if he explained it now, Marguerite might not believe him.
Seeing Connor fall into silence, Marguerite smiled and did not ask Connor any further. She continued to sip from the bottle in her hand.
Ten seconds later, Connor ended his silence. He looked at Marguerite and said in a deep voice, "Can you tell me the reason why you're doing this?"
"Connor, my mission in Loen is to destroy everything the secret society has in Loen!" Marguerite turned to look at Connor and said softly. Although Marguerite's voice was soft, her gentle words were full of bloodthirst.
"So, you're using your life as a stake to find evidence of the relationship between Edward and the secret society?" Hearing Margaret's mission, Connor's eyes immediately narrowed. Then, a playful smile appeared on his face, and he said somewhat mockingly, "That's right.
Connor's mockery did not infuriate Marguerite at all. She nodded gently and acknowledged Connor's thoughts.
Marguerite's nod made Connor's anger rise for no reason. He walked to Marguerite's side, grabbed her wrist roughly, and said coldly, "Marguerite, I don't have any objections if you want to find the relationship between Edward and the secret society. But I definitely won't agree to you using your life as a stake. Have you ever met Old Victor? Do you know how strong he is? And let me tell you, I don't know how much power Old Victor has in the secret society in Loen. This is why I've been delaying the killing of Old Victor! "
After yelling at Varga, before Connor could even catch his breath, his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly took out the compass from his space ring and checked it. At that moment, the compass showed that the dot of light representing the small bronze mirror was getting closer and closer to him.
"What's happening?" Looking at Connor's changing expression, although Marguerite couldn't understand the meaning of the flickering dot of light on the compass in Connor's hand, she clearly understood that something big must have happened!
"Walter and Perrin are coming for us. They're very fast. They should have arrived at Lander Street by now!" Connor said with a dark expression. His tone was a little vexed and self-reproachful. His argument with Marguerite just now had made it difficult for him to control his emotions. He hadn't noticed the change in Perrin and Walter's position immediately. By the time he realized it, it was already a little too late.
"Marguerite, listen up. They're very fast. It's no longer realistic for the two of us to leave quietly under their sights. Your identity can't be exposed. I'll go lure them away now. Then you stay here and take the opportunity to leave!" After thinking quickly, Connor gave up on his plan to escape alone. Then, he instructed Marguerite in detail, "Don't worry.
Marguerite's beautiful eyes flashed at Connor's instructions. Then, she said to Connor, who was about to rush out of the apartment, "Take them to José's factory in the western suburbs!"
