"Marguerite showed him the first half of the video of Politano being interrogated, but she didn't show him the second half. She even let Connor find the answer himself. There was a period of time when Connor seriously thought about the relationship between Politano and him, as well as the purpose of Marguerite telling him about the existence of Politano and his grandaunt, Stefano Ferguson!"
However, because there was no follow-up to this matter, Connor gradually put it to the back of his mind. Today, Martina once again Reyes to his relationship with Stefano Ferguson. This made Connor faintly smell something unusual!
"Stefano Ferguson was once a member of your Ferguson Family. She's the younger sister of your grandfather, Connor. In terms of seniority in your Ferguson Family, she's your great-aunt. When Stefano Ferguson was 26 years old, the Ferguson Family arranged for her to marry Lovran, a small noble in Flosino!" Martina didn't ask any further. Instead, she said, "Stefano Ferguson was once a member of your Ferguson Family. She's the younger sister of your grandfather, Connor.
"But what this small noble Lovran who married Stefano Ferguson probably didn't know was that before marrying him, Stefano Ferguson had a lover and even gave birth to an illegitimate child for this lover. This matter made the Ferguson Family very angry, and they forced Stefano Ferguson to break off the relationship with his lover and marry this small noble Lovran."
"Of course, Lovran might also have known about this matter, but in order to get on the good side of the Ferguson Family, he chose to accept it. After all, Connor, your Ferguson Family was still very powerful in Flosinone and its surrounding areas at that time, unlike now where your family is in decline!" Martina spoke frankly to Connor and couldn't help but tease Connor at the end.
Although he was teased by Martina, Connor didn't seem to care. He focused all of his attention on his grandaunt, Stefano Ferguson. With the binding of the Eye of Arbitration, Connor believed that Martina was speaking the truth. Because of this, he faintly felt that this grandaunt he'd never met before would be a crucial person between him and his mentor Reyes!
"According to the information obtained by the Duke's faction, although Stefano broke off contact with his lover after marrying Lovran due to the interference of your Ferguson Family, the illegitimate child she gave birth to before marriage was brought into her and her husband Lovran's home in the name of adoption. And because this illegitimate child was adopted, he didn't inherit the Lovran surname, but instead inherited the Stefano Ferguson surname. His name is Reyes Ferguson!" In the end, under Connor's gaze, the solemn Martina said word by word, "Don't worry.
"Reyes Ferguson?"
When this name came out of Martina's mouth, Connor, who thought that his mental fortitude was outstanding, was instantly shocked. He had never thought that his mentor Reyes could actually be Stefano Ferguson's illegitimate child. In other words, his … uncle?
Looking at Martina's serious face, Connor felt that if he didn't know that Martina was bound by the oath of the Eye of Arbitration and wouldn't deliberately deceive him, he definitely wouldn't have believed a single word of Martina's! But now, Connor couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart. Could his mentor Reyes really be his uncle, Reyes Ferguson?
Calming his shocked mind, Connor stared at Martina, then said, "Martina, tell me how you found out about this. Reyes's true identity doesn't seem to be something you can come into contact with."
"That's right! The information about the Secret Society's professor's true identity is such a shocking secret in the Sorcerer World. How could an advanced Sorcerer Apprentice like me know about it so easily? In Flosinone City, Kaiserslautern, or a few other places where Stefano Ferguson used to live, you won't find any information about Reyes Ferguson in the files of the local administrative department or the Church of the Storm. It's as if Reyes Ferguson doesn't even exist in this world! "
"But don't forget, Connor, my surname is Conti! I'm Martina Conti! Also, I have sources of information in the Duke's faction. I can't tell you how I found out, but I can assure you that this is the result of repeated verification from the information I received from the Conti Family and the Duke's faction! "
"I think it's true! Before Stefano Ferguson got married, he had an illegitimate son who inherited his surname, Reyes Ferguson. And this Reyes Ferguson is your mentor, Connor, the number two figure in the Secret Society, Professor Reyes! "
"I once secretly sent someone to Flosinone City where the Ferguson Family is located to find evidence to prove my guess. But not long after the person I sent arrived in Flosinone City, he disappeared and I lost contact with him. Just when I was feeling vigilant, the Duke's faction's secret base in Loen, James Trading Company, was uprooted by Old Victor. Because of this, I was suspected by Old Victor.
"I think the reason why Old Victor discovered the James Trading Company is very likely because the person I sent had a lot to do with the James Trading Company. He was caught by Old Victor, and Old Victor found clues on him, which led him to the James Trading Company!"
"In other words, the reason why I'm where I am today has a lot to do with the fact that I sent someone to investigate Professor's true identity!" At this point, Martina's expression was desolate, and there was a hint of regret in her eyes.
After hearing Martina's words, Connor's heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Judging from Martina's current physical condition, it was impossible for her to make up a lie about Reyes's background under the circumstances of violating the Eye of Arbitration. This wouldn't do her any good!
However, what Martina said was true, but it was all Martina's own guess. Since it was a guess, there was a possibility of it being wrong. But Connor had to admit that Martina's guess was very reliable in his eyes. To a certain extent, it explained why Reyes took the initiative to choose Connor Ferguson as his student! "
