In order to buy time for Marguerite to reach Jose's factory, Connor had already led Walter and Perrin around the outskirts of the western district. Based on Marguerite's speed, Connor believed that Marguerite would have reached Jose's factory ten minutes ago. Therefore, it was time for the final massacre!
Once again, he lured Walter and Perrin behind him. After chasing for seven to eight minutes, Connor saw an abandoned factory in front of him. His confidence was boosted. He slowed down and pretended that he was panicking while being chased. He rushed into Jose's factory without knowing where to go.
Jose's factory was built more than ten years ago by the farmers and craftsmen of the nearby town. They wanted to make more money from the ceramic industry, so they pooled their money together to build the factory. It specialized in producing ceramics, tea sets, and other products. However, because the management of the factory was not good enough, and the ceramic industry was in a slump, Jose's factory did not have enough capital to support it. After four to five years of operation, it could not pay off its debts and went bankrupt. Only a few abandoned factories stood alone in the wilderness.
Because this place was deserted, Marguerite chose this place to meet Connor for a period of time. When he first learned about Jose's factory from Marguerite, Connor almost did not manage to find it. In the end, he managed to find it with the help of a map.
Since Marguerite had asked Connor to lure Perrin and Walter to this place, she naturally wanted to get rid of them quickly.
Perrin, who had gritted his teeth and continued to follow Connor when he saw that Connor had entered the factory and stopped running. His eyes lit up, and he gritted his teeth and was about to follow. However, he had only taken one step when he heard Walter's anxious voice behind him.
"Perrin, stop!"
Perrin, who was eager for quick success, finally regained some clarity when he heard Walter's serious and anxious tone. After hesitating for a while, he still obeyed Walter's instructions and stopped at the edge of Jose's factory.
Walter heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Perrin had stopped and did not rush into the abandoned factory. After a few seconds, she, who was slightly slower, also reached Perrin's side.
"Be careful. This masked man in a black robe seems to have lured us here on purpose!" Walter warned Perrin through telepathy as she carefully observed the surroundings.
After hearing Walter's explanation and recalling what the black-robed masked man had done, Perrin, who wasn't a fool but just lacked experience, immediately came to a realization. He immediately became vigilant of his surroundings, and whispered to Walter, "Should we run?"
A bitter smile appeared on Walter's face. If everything was really the result of the masked man's meticulous plan, she and Perrin were still here even though they did not enter the trap of this abandoned factory. If they wanted to leave now, would the masked man let them go?
Walter gave Perrin a cautious look. She looked at the abandoned factory that did not seem to have anyone in it. Her eyes lit up, and she said loudly, "Friends inside, is there a reason you lured us here? If there is, why don't you come out and meet us? If not, the two of us will be leaving now! "
Connor and Marguerite exchanged glances when they heard Walter's voice. They could see the seriousness in each other's eyes.
Outside Jose's factory, Walter waited for about a minute. Seeing that Jose's factory was still quiet, she hesitated for a moment. Her cautious nature as a woman won over her greed for treasures. She sighed and gave up on the idea of rushing into the factory to capture the masked man. She waved her right hand and signaled Perrin to leave. Perrin, who was now somewhat obedient to Walter, nodded and retreated silently.
Connor made a decision when he saw the prey in front of him trying to escape. He waved at Marguerite, indicating for her not to go out. Then, Connor walked out of Jose's factory step by step under Marguerite's astonished gaze and appeared in front of Walter and Perrin's mental strength.
Even though Walter and Perrin did not completely walk into their trap, since they were already here, Connor had no reason to let them leave this place alive!
Seeing the black-robed masked man walk out of the factory again, Perrin's face was filled with anger and relief. It was obvious that he had been tricked. Walter was right. The factory in front of him was a trap. If Walter hadn't stopped him, he might have really fallen into the factory!
Just like Perrin, Walter also stared at the black-robed masked man who had returned. However, she was more experienced than Perrin and didn't display all her emotions on her well-maintained face. She took a deep look at the black-robed masked man and smiled. "Sir, you're really confident in your strength!"
Connor smirked in disdain at Walter's exclamation. He didn't want to waste any more words with Walter and Perrin. He took out a crystal ball the size of a soccer ball from his spatial ring. As soon as he took it out, Walter and Perrin focused their attention on the faintly discernible fire-attribute gem in the crystal ball that looked like a wisp of flame.
"This is …" Perrin's and Walter's eyes lit up. Perrin couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"
"That's right! Since this man walked out of Ferguson's apartment, this fire attribute gem could very well be the Saita's Heart that we're looking for! " Even with Walter's shrewdness, he could not hide the greed in his eyes when he saw the treasure that he had been searching for for months appear in front of him.
Connor nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Perrin and Walter had recognized the "Saita's Heart" in the crystal ball. He then put the Saita's Heart back into his space ring.
