What was even more unacceptable to Martina was that Tussam was so stupid that he let Varga see through him. He was even stopped by Connor in Kevin Town. If it wasn't for Martina's early preparation, Tussam, who was neither a human nor a beast, might have sold himself out in order to survive!
However, just when Martina felt that it was a pity that her plan didn't achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone, she accidentally discovered a huge secret. She found out by chance that the Secret Society's undercover agent in the Church of the Storm in Loen was pressuring Old Victor. This undercover agent requested Old Victor to solve all the problems within a month and restore peace to Loen.
Although Martina didn't know who this undercover agent was, she knew that this undercover agent had a very high position in the Church of the Storm in Loen. The reason why the Secret Society could be so powerful in Loen and not be wiped out by the Church of the Storm was mostly because of this undercover agent's care. His words had a very strong influence on Old Victor. In other words, even if Old Victor wasn't willing to accept his warning and pressure, he had to accept it!
When Martina first learned of this news, she had a feeling that there was a light at the end of the tunnel. She knew very well that Old Victor had to take action against Connor in a very short period of time. In Loen, other than Old Victor himself, the Secret Society only had three advanced Sorcerer-Apprentices: her, Roberto, and Varga. Although there were a few intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentices, in the face of a Psychic Sorcerer like Connor who had a strange mental attack, the Sorcerers with lower cultivation than him would only be sending themselves to their deaths without an absolute advantage in numbers.
Varga was a Potioneer and wasn't good at fighting. In Old Victor's eyes, she was very close to Connor Ferguson. Martina knew that Old Victor would never let Varga participate in the hunt, so only she and Roberto were left. However, even if she and Roberto brought along a few other intermediate Sorcerer-Apprentices, the success rate of killing Connor Ferguson wouldn't be more than 50%!
Under the pressure of this undercover agent from the Loen Church of the Storm, Old Victor didn't have the time to transfer people from outside to Loen. Therefore, in order to safely kill Connor Ferguson, the best and only way was for Old Victor to take action personally!
When Martina realized this problem, she felt as if she had been hit by a huge pie. She was so happy that she almost fainted. For Martina, ever since Old Victor destroyed the James Trading Company, the stronghold that His Lordship had placed in Loen, even though she didn't leave any traces in the James Trading Company due to her vigilance, she could still feel that Old Victor had started to suspect her. He no longer trusted her as much as when she first came to Loen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sent a stranger like Tussam to investigate her.
The reason why Old Victor hadn't taken action yet was that she was still of value to him. Old Victor didn't have any capable helpers around him, so he needed her help. Another reason was that Old Victor hadn't obtained any evidence to prove that she was an undercover agent! However, more importantly, Connor Ferguson's existence helped her stand in front and attract Old Victor's attention. Martina dared to assert that once Connor Ferguson died, Old Victor, who was free, would finish her off once and for all!
Therefore, regardless of whether Connor was killed by Old Victor, or if Old Victor was killed by Connor and Marguerite, it wasn't in Martina's interest. In Martina's eyes, although Connor wasn't Old Victor's match alone, Connor had Marguerite as his helper. With the two of them working together, they could definitely clash with Old Victor. The method that was in Martina's interest the most was for both of them to suffer heavy losses and die. She would then be able to take advantage of it.
Connor sent a total of two secret letters to Martina. The first secret letter was Connor asking her about Varga's information. Although she didn't see through the contents of the secret letter, Martina still didn't choose to reply to Connor. This was because the more things she did, the more flaws she would reveal. Moreover, she had previously told Connor that Old Victor had begun to suspect her and to stop contacting her. Therefore, with this layer of foreshadowing, Martina wasn't afraid that Connor would put the matter on the table.
However, the contents of Connor's second secret letter surprised Martina. Connor told Martina that he had made a decision to get rid of Old Victor. He hoped that Martina could tell him about Old Victor. After receiving this secret letter, although she was a little puzzled as to why Connor suddenly made a decision, Martina couldn't sit still. This was because she knew that this was the best opportunity to achieve her goal of making Connor and Old Victor suffer heavy losses. Once Connor realized that Old Victor was going to make a move on him personally, with his character, he would probably be one step ahead of her!
Therefore, after much consideration, Martina decided to keep the appointment. She had to make Connor aware of the danger and alert him. Otherwise, if Connor didn't realize this imminent danger and was directly killed by Old Victor's sneak attack, Martina wouldn't have a good ending either.
As she slowly pondered, Martina recalled the expression of Connor when he narrowed his eyes and looked at her after hearing the news. Thinking about this, a faint smile appeared on Martina's cold and elegant face. After interacting with Connor for such a long time, she was very clear that Connor was a person who was very good at controlling his emotions and facial expressions. To have such a reaction was already a very shocking performance.
Therefore, Martina deliberately didn't answer the question that Connor asked her in the secret letter. Old Vic was there and even advised Connor to run away. On one hand, it was because Martina knew the answer to Connor's question and could also find out through Varga. On the other hand, it was to agitate Connor and let him feel the danger, so as to speed up the battle between Connor and Old Victor.
Sensing that the carriage was about to reach Loen City, Martina pulled down the curtains of the carriage just in case and closed her eyes to recuperate. However, less than three seconds after she closed her eyes, she opened them again with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
At the same time, a gunshot sounded from both sides of the road where Martina was sitting.
"Bang!"
A gunshot sounded and a bullet instantly flew out from the barrel, rapidly tearing through the air. Before the coachman who was driving the carriage for Martina realized what was happening, the bullet shot into his temple.
