* Clang! Clang! *
Isabella's fingernails made contact with the sapphire ring, producing two extremely soft but crisp sounds.
"What's the meaning of this?"
Seeing Isabella's actions, Connor couldn't help but frown and ask, "What are you doing?
The sapphire ring that Isabella had taken out looked like a space ring, whether it was the energy waves or the feeling it gave off. However, as an alchemist, and a rather decent one at that, Connor could still tell that this sapphire ring was a space ring, but it was not completely a space ring!
The reason why this sapphire ring was called a spatial ring was because this sapphire ring could indeed store items. Moreover, from the energy fluctuations released by this sapphire ring, this sapphire ring's grade was very good. The space contained within was at least ten square meters or more.
However, the reason why this sapphire ring was not completely a space ring was because Connor could feel that this sapphire ring contained other energy runes besides space runes. These energy runes gave the sapphire ring other functions. As for what these functions were, Connor did not know. He could only be sure that this sapphire ring definitely had other functions, and Isabella's finger flicked the sapphire ring just now seemed to be activating the other functions of this space ring.
"Since you've become a rank 1 Magus, the two idiots I found are naturally no match for you. They knew that they couldn't complete the task, but they still wanted to do it. Apart from two more corpses, I wouldn't be able to get anything out of it, so I sent them a signal to leave!" Isabella looked at Connor and said indifferently, "You've become a rank 1 Magus.
Hearing Isabella say that she had arranged for people to ambush him so bluntly, Connor's expression did not change, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
As if noticing the cold glint in Connor's eyes, Isabella smiled lightly and waved her hand at Connor, saying, "Don't worry! Although I want to take you down, Connor Ferguson, to take revenge for what happened on the train, you're now a rank 1 Magus, and I'm still an advanced acolyte. You can easily kill me, so relax. Don't be nervous, I can't do anything to you right now! "
"It seems like you're very confident?" Hearing Isabella's words, Connor's expression did not change. He looked at Isabella and said indifferently, "You're right.
Isabella didn't immediately answer Connor's question. Instead, she took out a bottle of "Romano Conti" and two crystal wine glasses from her space ring and placed them on the table in front of Connor. After that, she slowly poured the "Conti" into the two crystal wine glasses. After that, she raised one of the wine glasses and slowly shook the wine glass as she raised her head and said to Connor with a faint smile, "Don't worry about it, Connor.
"Of course! Connor Ferguson, since you found us according to the address I gave you, it's obvious that you're aware of your teacher's conspiracy. You're planning to find someone to help you, and at this time, we're the only ones who are interested in helping you. Since that's the case, I have nothing to fear, so why can't I be more confident? "
Isabella, who was still in the disguise of a middle-aged man with sideburns, flashed a very bright smile at Connor. She then raised her glass to Connor, indicating that Connor should pick up the other crystal wine glass with the Romano Conti on the table and toast to her.
Looking at the glowing red Romano Conti in the crystal wine glass and then at Isabella, the corners of Connor's mouth curled into a faint smile. Then, under Isabella's gaze, he picked up the wine glass on the table. When Isabella saw Connor's action, a smug smile appeared on her face. But in the next second, her smug smile froze on her face!
Connor didn't toast to her as she expected. Instead, he poured the 'Conti' from the crystal wine glass into Isabella's wine glass. After finishing this step, Connor no longer had any hesitation. He took out a five pound note from his wallet and threw it on the table. He gestured to the waiter standing outside the room to settle the bill. Then, he turned around and walked out of the room without any hesitation.
Isabella's expression turned ugly as she watched Connor's figure leaving under the light of the bar. She realized that after the humiliation on the train, she seemed to have underestimated Connor Ferguson, the successor of the Earl!
After leaving the Westcolen Bar, Connor didn't immediately return to the Agudelo Hotel in Flosinone. Instead, he vigilantly circled the Flosinone area twice under the cover of the night. After confirming that there was no one tailing him, he returned to the Agudelo Hotel in relief.
Connor returned to his room with a solemn expression. From Isabella's performance today, it was obvious that the Duke's faction had prepared for today's meeting. The bottle of Romano Conti that Isabella took out at the end was a hint to Connor. We've done a thorough investigation on you. We know your preferences and habits. Connor Ferguson, you better be obedient!
Since the Duke's faction had prepared so much for him, they definitely wouldn't do it for nothing. There was no doubt that they wanted to cooperate with him. However, it was also obvious that the cooperation that the Duke's faction wanted was not the kind of cooperation that Connor wanted. The Duke's faction wanted him to become their subordinate and submit to their orders. That was why Isabella took the initiative to provoke Connor and put pressure on him!
Connor wasn't surprised by the actions of Isabella and the Duke's faction today. It could even be said that their actions were already within his expectations. After all, to the Duke's faction, who was rumored to be a rank 3 Magus, even if he were to become a rank 1 Magus, he would only be slightly more important in their eyes. He was still far from being able to talk to them on equal terms!
Most importantly, in the current situation, he needed the Duke's faction's help to deal with Reyes in order to ensure his safety. It wasn't the Duke's faction who needed his help to deal with Reyes!
