The blond young man, Luke, stood in place, his ears twitching slightly. He waited for about ten seconds until he could no longer hear Kevin Sousa's footsteps. Only then did he take out a small black compass from his luggage. It was roughly the size of a palm and had rather rough workmanship.
Lukshaw used his finger to gently move the silver needle on the black compass. The silver needle immediately began to spin on its own. It circled around the room once before it pointed at the load-bearing wall of the room. A mocking smile appeared on Lukshaw's handsome face. He then took out a black button from his luggage and stuck it on the load-bearing wall that the compass was pointing at. The next moment, a strange scene occurred. The black button that Lukshaw took out actually slowly melted into the load-bearing wall under Lukshaw's gaze.
After the black button melted into the load-bearing wall, the silver needle on the black compass in Lukshaw's hand no longer pointed at the load-bearing wall of the room.
Seeing this, Lukshaw let out a sigh of relief. She then took out four blue steel balls from her pocket and placed them in the four corners of the room. As the four steel balls were placed, the guest room, which was only a dozen square meters in size, was silently covered with a soundproof barrier that could block out energy fluctuations.
Sensing the barrier's appearance, Lukshaw then took out a sparkling, translucent amethyst ring from her pocket. She then put the black compass that was ten times the size of the amethyst ring into the amethyst ring. It turned out that the amethyst ring was actually a space ring.
After putting away the black compass, Lukshaw put the amethyst ring away. She then shifted her gaze back to the load-bearing wall that the black button had melted into. She muttered to herself in a low voice, "Connor's alchemy skills are really something. The church's listening device was taken care of so quickly by him …"
Lukshaw shook her head slightly and sat in front of the wardrobe in the room. There was a mirror installed in the middle of the wardrobe. Lukshaw's gaze was a little complicated as he looked at his handsome face in the mirror. After a moment of silence, he reached his hand to his face. In the next second, a thin mask as thin as a cicada's wing was removed from his face. Underneath the mask was Marguerite's extremely beautiful face.
Lukshaw, no! It was Marguerite. After revealing her true face, she took out a bottle of potion from the amethyst ring and poured it into her mouth. After drinking the potion, Marguerite sat on the bed and began to meditate to digest the potion's effect.
Ever since she left Connor's safe house, Marguerite had been hiding and cultivating in secret to recover from her injuries. She didn't put on the mask and walked out of her hiding place until she felt that her physical condition was getting better.
Of course, although her physical condition was getting better, the injuries that Old Victor inflicted on Marguerite weren't something that could be recovered in a short period of time. If she were to consume the potion and recuperate, it would take at least a year and a half for Marguerite. Fortunately, the most serious injuries on Marguerite's body had been treated by Varga. Now, it was just some post-injury recovery work that wasn't enough to threaten Marguerite's life.
If it weren't for the fact that she had something important to do, Marguerite would have left Loen long ago and found a safe and secluded place to recuperate from her injuries instead of appearing in Loen again. Marguerite wasn't a fool. She knew very well what kind of person Old Victor was and the consequences of killing him. Marguerite also knew that under the influence of the secret society's professor, the Church of the Storm wizards in Loen were probably digging three feet into the ground to find her. To be honest, once she was found, Marguerite was already mentally prepared for what would happen to her!
It was precisely because of this that Marguerite chose to stay in Kevin Hotel out of consideration for her own safety! To be honest, in Loen, Marguerite wasn't alone because of her relationship with Cardinal Elena. If she wanted to, she still had some helpers and places to hide. But in the current situation, Marguerite had no choice but to be cautious. After some thought, Marguerite didn't choose to use these connections. In fact, before she took action against Old Victor, she had already gotten her best friend, the manager of the Empire's Department Store's Jennifer Lingerie Store, Leoni, to secretly leave Loen.
The reason why Margaret did this wasn't because she didn't believe in the relationship, but because although the relationship was very secretive, it was ultimately related to the Church of the Lord of Storms because of Elena's relationship with the Arch-Cardinal. And with the abilities of the old woman who controlled the intelligence agency of the Loen Church of the Lord of Storms, it was only a matter of time before she was dug out. With this in mind, Margaret decided to hide at Kevin Hotel.
Marguerite clearly remembered that Kevin Hotel, which was located in the northern suburbs of Loen, was actually a secret base of the Church of the Storm in Loen that few people knew about. This secret base was disguised as a hotel, but in fact, it was one of the secret bases that the Church had planted in Loen.
As for the short and fat middle-aged man who claimed to be the manager of Kevin Hotel, Kevin Sousa, he looked like an ordinary and somewhat shrewd middle-aged man. However, with the help of Cardinal Elena's intelligence network, Marguerite, who had seen the top-secret files regarding him and Kevin Hotel in the Church's secret archives, knew very well that this "Kevin Sousa" was only his alias.
His real name was Mousa Dembele. He was forty-six years old this year and had joined the Church at the age of sixteen. It took him thirty years to climb from the lowest level to his current position, becoming a middle-ranking leader of the Loen Church's intelligence agency. He was in charge of obtaining information from the spies who came to Kevin Hotel before passing it back to the Loen Church's intelligence agency.
Although Mousa Dembele wasn't a warlock, he had the strength of a Grand Knight. Under normal circumstances, more than ten armed men wouldn't be able to get close to him. And in Kevin Hotel, other than Mousa Dembele, the other staff, including three waiters and two chefs, were all members of the Loen Church's intelligence agency. All of them had received special training from the Church of the Storm!
