Although the old man with the goatee's action seemed ordinary, and there was nothing magical about it, the letter that Old Victor said was handwritten by the professor immediately spontaneously combusted. However, neither Old Victor nor the old man with the goatee were surprised by the spontaneous combustion of the letter.
Although the professor's handwritten letter had spontaneously combusted, it was completely different from an ordinary letter. An ordinary letter could burn for three seconds and the entire letter would be burned to ashes. However, this letter burned for five seconds and did not change its size or shape at all.
However, when the letter spontaneously combusted for ten seconds, a golden light flew out from the burning letter, and as the golden light flew out, the letter instantly lost its mana, and turned into ashes that drifted into the stream. Upon seeing this, the old man with the goatee nodded slightly, and extended his index finger to point at the golden light. The golden light obediently landed in his hand.
Holding the golden light in his hand, the old man with the goatee closed his eyes and sensed the message that Professor Reyes wanted to send to him.
After a while, the old man with the goatee opened his eyes again after receiving the message. He looked at Old Victor who was waiting quietly by the side, and didn't say anything. He merely nodded and got up to leave, vanishing from the Pinsolio Manor that was controlled by the Secret Society.
After confirming that the old man with the goatee had left, a sneer appeared on Old Victor's face, and he sneered softly, "Coward! You really think you're something. If it weren't for Old Master supporting you, would you be where you are today? "
The old man with the goatee was none other than the bishop of the Church of the Storm in Loen, Edward. His identity was sensitive, so in order not to expose his identity, he chose to disguise himself as an old man with a goatee to meet Old Victor in the manor that belonged to the Secret Society.
After mocking him, Old Victor restrained the anger in his heart, and his eyes gradually regained their calmness. Although Edward's words today were a little confusing, they were extremely clear in Old Victor's eyes.
Edward was the one who took the initiative to invite him to meet today. Edward was a very cautious person, and he had never done so before. However, he did so today, which was definitely extraordinary in Old Victor's eyes!
This meant that Edward was very anxious. No! Very anxious!
Part of the anxiety in Edward's heart was the pressure brought to him by Professor's actions in Bernabeu, but more of it was the pressure brought to him by Langley!
Langley was enduring humiliation and preparing a big move!
This was something that Old Victor and Edward understood very well. And now, the question was, what exactly was Langley's ultimate move?
In Old Victor's eyes, Langley wasn't a simple person. Although he had been taken down by the local tyrants, Edward and Lena, not long after he arrived, and all the Arbitrators in the Church's headquarters were eliminated, he never expected that Langley, who had suffered such a loss, would keep a low profile from then on. No matter how Edward tempted and provoked him, Langley wouldn't take the bait. What made Edward feel even more troubled was that Langley had taken root in Loen, and had secretly joined forces with Marguerite, who belonged to Cardinal Elena's faction.
After his attempt to help Edward get rid of Marguerite failed, Old Victor knew that Langley had already made a name for himself in Loen. His intelligence network told him that some of the Arbitrators who were originally under Edward's command had secretly switched their allegiance to Langley. Old Victor believed that Edward was also aware of this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so eager to pressure Old Victor to give him a time limit.
To the Secret Society, Edward had made them pay a huge price to develop a spy in the upper echelons of the Church of the Storm. Unless they had no other choice, the Secret Society would never give up on Edward! Therefore, even though Old Victor didn't like Edward, he still chose to tell Edward all the information he had so that Edward could gain the upper hand in his battle with Langley.
Just as Old Victor was frowning and thinking hard, the burly Roberto walked to his side and stood respectfully, not daring to disturb Old Victor who was deep in thought. From Roberto's appearance, it seemed that he and Old Victor weren't of the same rank at all, and Old Victor was his teacher.
Seeing Roberto's appearance, Old Victor stopped thinking and glanced at Roberto, who was extremely respectful towards him. He nodded in his heart and felt a little better after being bullied by Edward. The reason why he treated Roberto as his trusted aide was that Roberto was personally promoted from a beginner Sorcerer's apprentice. The most important reason was that Roberto respected him from the bottom of his heart. Old Victor enjoyed this respect very much!
He frowned and looked at Roberto. "What happened?"
"Steward Victor, there are signs of activity in Ferguson's apartment!" Roberto lowered his head and replied in a deep voice.
"Oh?" A cold light flashed in Old Victor's eyes when he heard Roberto's words. He stopped thinking and turned to ask Roberto, "Can you confirm that the person is Connor Ferguson?"
"Well …" Roberto was stunned for a moment, then he said with a little embarrassment, "Steward Victor, it's like this … Didn't you tell me that Connor Ferguson is a Spirit Sorcerer, and that he has a large range of his Spirit power and sharp senses? You also told me not to act rashly and not to alert him. You also told me not to act on my own and to report to you as soon as I discover anything happening in Ferguson's apartment. So … "
Roberto's words instantly reminded Old Victor of his instructions to Roberto. Without saying anything else, he nodded slowly and took out a fist-sized dark green crystal ball with several dazzling silver wires embedded in it from his Space Ring and tossed it to Roberto.
"Steward Victor, this is …?"
After receiving the unique looking crystal ball that Old Victor tossed over, Roberto asked Old Victor with some surprise, "Don't worry, Old Victor.
"This is a Secret Spirit Bead. Inject your Spirit power into it, and it will allow you to observe the situation within a kilometer!" Old Victor said calmly.
