Seeing this, Martina put the revolver that was aimed at Steve's head back into her space ring. Steve heaved a sigh of relief when the revolver was no longer aimed at his head. He got up from the ground and wiped the cold sweat that had emerged on his forehead. Then, he very solemnly hid the two gold pound notes in his hand in the cupboard of his house.
Although he was forced to send this mysterious woman out to sea under the threat of his life, the ten gold pounds that this extremely dangerous and mysterious woman had taken out still made Steve, who was extremely worried, feel a sense of comfort in his heart. Ten gold pounds was enough for him to save up for a year under normal circumstances. Now, he only needed to send this mysterious woman out to sea and he would make a profit. As long as he wasn't discovered by the sea, there was no doubt that he would make a killing this time.
Steve used a minute to find all the tools he needed to go out to sea in his house. Then, he carried a small leather bag and respectfully appeared in front of Martina, saying, "I'm ready, we can go now!"
Her mental strength swept over the fish-smelling leather bag in Steve's hand. Seeing that it was filled with ordinary tools, Martina didn't say anything and turned to walk out of the brick house. Steve, on the other hand, followed closely behind her.
A few minutes later, Martina and Steve arrived at the beach where Steve's fishing boat was. However, just as they boarded the fishing boat and Steve was about to set sail, Martina seemed to have sensed something. She looked back and saw a handsome black-haired young man in a black robe not far from her on the beach. He was looking at her with a smile.
"Connor, I didn't expect you to chase me all the way here. You're much more difficult to deal with than I thought!" Looking at Connor who suddenly appeared on the beach and was looking at her with a smile, Martina, who was about to order Steve to steer the boat away for her, was stunned for a moment. Then, her heart sank as she looked at Connor with a bitter expression. Martina didn't expect that the loose robe and thick veil on her body would be able to prevent the mental wizard Connor from recognizing her.
Facing Martina's bitter gaze, Connor also withdrew the smile on his face. Then, he shook his head and looked at Martina on the fishing boat. He said meaningfully, "Martina, you've also exceeded my expectations. You actually managed to escape from Old Victor's hands!"
As soon as Connor finished his words, the fishing boat was ready to set sail. Steve looked back and forth between Martina and Connor talking. Just when he was still in a daze and didn't know what was going on, he suddenly fell on the fishing boat without any warning. He twisted and struggled in pain for a few times before he mysteriously turned into a pile of ashes. He died on his own fishing boat …
After witnessing Steve's death, Martina closed her eyes in pain. She wasn't sad for Steve who died under Connor's mental attack. Steve was just a mortal. She wouldn't care even if a thousand or ten thousand people like him died, let alone one. But now, Martina was sad for herself. Steve's death and Connor's sudden appearance meant that her escape plan was completely ruined. She was very likely to die here …
After closing her eyes for a few seconds, Martina, who had digested the fact that Steve was dead and that her life was in Connor's hands, opened her eyes again. She looked deeply at Connor. "Connor, I think we can make a deal. A deal about your mentor, Professor Reyes of the Secret Society!"
Hearing Martina's words, Connor was startled. However, he managed his expression well, and his shrewdness didn't cause his expression to fluctuate too much. This made Martina, who was looking at Connor intensely and trying to figure out something from his expression, feel disappointed.
"Martina, aren't you curious how I know you're here?" Even though he really wanted to know what information Martina knew about Reyes, Connor feigned a disinterested look in order to prevent Martina from using this information to threaten him and raise the price. He changed the topic and asked, "What's the matter?
Upon hearing Connor's rhetorical question, although Martina couldn't figure out why Connor changed the topic, a cold smile still appeared on her face. She said in a deep voice, "Connor Ferguson, I have to admit that you're more skillful. I fell into your trap, and you actually managed to chase me all the way here. You must have done something to me that day when I was fighting with your helper, the guy who used Blood Witchcraft, right?"
Connor was slightly surprised by Martina's reaction speed. After pondering for a moment, Connor looked at Martina and asked in a deep voice, "Martina, I have a question for you. Why did you mess with me? Why did you team up with Tussam to attack me and instruct Tussam to attack Varga? "
"Why?"
Martina's expression was desolate as she repeated Connor's words in a low voice. Then, she looked up at Connor again and said, "My value to His Majesty is that I can provide him with what he wants. Therefore, the higher I climb on your mentor Reyes's side, the higher my value will be. His Majesty will be able to provide me with more training resources. If Old Victor dies, I have a high chance of taking over his position. So, Connor, do you understand what I mean?"
Although Martina didn't say it explicitly, the meaning in her words couldn't be clearer in Connor's heart. Connor let out a long sigh and nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
For the sake of training resources, Martina still had to continue hiding in the professor's faction. Therefore, after knowing her identity as a spy, both Marguerite and himself would undoubtedly become potential threats that Martina couldn't control. They were ticking time bombs that could blow her to pieces at any time!
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Martina would remove himself and Marguerite, the two thorns in her flesh. As for Varga, who had a close relationship with him, he would naturally be implicated and become one of Martina's targets.
After understanding this, Connor's doubts about why Martina, who could be his collaborator, would want to harm him disappeared without a trace. If he were Martina, a spy in His Majesty's faction, for his own safety, he might be even more ruthless than Martina!
