Connor did not refuse Stephanie's conditions. He nodded and took out eleven ten-pound notes from his wallet, as well as the resident card that he and Varga had forged earlier. He handed them to Stephanie and said, "Here's 110 gold pounds. Apart from the room fee and deposit, the rest of the money will be your tip!"
Stephanie's eyes flickered with surprise when she saw the black-haired young man agree to her conditions so readily. However, she did not say anything else. After taking the notes from Connor, she quickly helped Connor and Varga settle their accommodations and return their documents. Then, she brought Connor and Varga to a luxurious suite on the fifth floor of the hotel.
Stephanie personally opened the door to the Earl Suite for Connor and Varga, then said with a smile, "This is one of the five Earl Suites in the Agudelo Hotel. I hope you and Mrs. Caitlin enjoy your stay here. There's a brass bell on the desk. If you and your wife need anything, you can ring the bell to inform us. We'll come as soon as possible!"
Stephanie smiled and left the room calmly, leaving the entire Earl Suite to Connor and Varga. Although only he and Varga were left in the room, Connor still gave Varga an alert look, indicating for her not to make a sound. Then, Connor began to check the luxurious Earl Suite, which had two bedrooms, a study, a living room, a dining room, and two bathrooms. The space was close to 200 square meters.
After checking for about five minutes and confirming that there was no problem with the room, Connor set up soundproof beads in the room. Then, he smiled at Varga and told her that there was no problem. Varga then relaxed and sat on the sofa in the living room. She looked at Connor, seemingly hesitant to speak.
Seeing Varga like this, Connor shrugged at her and said, "Ask whatever you want! You've been holding it in all the way. If you continue to hold it in, I'm afraid you'll fall sick! "
Seeing that Connor did not mind, a smile appeared on Varga's pretty face. She asked Connor curiously, "Connor, we've already left Loen and come to Flosinone. This is the Ferguson Family's nest. Your family has been operating here for hundreds of years, and you've successfully broken through to become a level-1 wizard. We should be very safe here now. Why do we have to be so careful to disguise ourselves and live here?"
Connor was not surprised by Varga's question. He smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then, he took out a bottle of Romano Conti and two wine glasses from his space ring. He poured wine into the two glasses and handed one to Varga and kept the other for himself. Then, he gently swirled the wine glass and said bitterly, "To be precise, our Ferguson Family has been operating in Flosinone for 231 years since our ancestor, Tony Parker Ferguson. We do have many properties in Flosinone, including manors, shops, and factories!"
"However, the financial situation of our family has been very bad these past few years. A lot of our property has been mortgaged to the bank. Even the number of knights that we are allowed to own under the laws of the empire has been reduced to less than ten. This is simply unimaginable for a family of a hereditary count. From this, you should understand how bad the financial situation of our Ferguson family is. It is not much better than an empty shell. If this situation continues, it won't be long before our Ferguson family completely collapses from the debt of the bank. The glory and glory of our family will completely become history!"
"Although our Ferguson Family has fallen to such a state, I, Connor Ferguson, am now a level-1 wizard. As long as I'm willing, I can use my alchemy skills to change the family's situation. It won't be difficult for the family to regain its former glory!"
At this point, Connor stopped his explanation to Varga. A cold glint flashed across his eyes, and he continued in a deep voice, "What I'm worried about is that Reyes has planted a ghost in the family!" As soon as he finished speaking, Connor downed the cup of Romano Conti that was as bright as fresh blood.
Sensing the gloomy aura emitted from Connor's body, Varga blinked her eyes in disbelief. After pondering for a moment, she asked Connor.
"Connor, although Reyes is your mentor and a professor of the Secret Society, his influence shouldn't be so far. The northeastern region of the empire, including Flosinone City, is considered to be under the influence of the Prince of the Secret Society. I've been in the Secret Society for so long, but I haven't heard of Professor doing anything in Flosinone City."
Hearing Varga's words, Connor shook his head once again. He then whispered to Varga, "Do you know why Reyes chose me to be his student back in Greene University?"
After asking the question, Connor didn't wait for Varga's reply and continued, "Firstly, he and I have the same Magus innate talent. We both have the dark and spiritual attributes, so I can practice the meditation technique that he wants me to practice. Secondly, he and I are most likely related!"
Hearing Connor mention the word 'related', Varga's expression froze. She looked at Connor in astonishment. Varga wasn't surprised by Connor's reaction. The bitterness on his face deepened, and he continued, "Under the oath of the Eye of Arbitration, Martina mentioned to me that she obtained information about Reyes's background. Old Victor also hinted to me about this, so this point is basically confirmed!"
After Connor finished speaking, Varga recovered from his shock. After pondering for a while, his eyes lit up and he asked Connor, "The Ferguson Family?"
Seeing that Varga had already guessed it, Connor didn't hide it anymore. Under Varga's gaze, he nodded heavily and said, "That's right! Although I haven't confirmed Reyes's background, I can be sure that he has a lot of connections with our Ferguson Family! "
"In the crystal ball that Old Victor gave me, there were many messages that Reyes passed to me. Among them, Reyes told me that if I successfully broke through to become a rank 1 Magus and returned to Flosinone, he would prepare a gift for me in the Ferguson Family!"
