Therefore, under such circumstances, if Isabella didn't do anything and was polite to him, Connor might feel uneasy and think that Wang Jue's faction was plotting something against him.
In fact, Connor never thought that he would be able to reach an agreement with Wang Jue's faction in just one meeting.
After pondering for a while, a hint of suspicion flashed through Connor's eyes. Isabella's behavior in the private room of the bar today seemed fine, but what made him feel strange was that although Isabella had Wang Jue's faction backing her up, she was still just an advanced wizard apprentice. She knew that he was a level-1 wizard, but she was still so arrogant when they were alone in the private room. Wasn't it a bit too much?
According to the information that Varga received from the Secret Society, Isabella was the mistress of Wang Jue's right-hand wizard, Vermaelen. How could a mistress be so bold as to provoke him in the private room? Was she not afraid that he would lose control of his emotions and attack her in a fit of rage? Thinking of this, Connor started to have doubts about Isabella's real identity. For some reason, Connor felt that Isabella wasn't as simple as what Varga heard from the Secret Society. She wasn't just the mistress of Wang Jue's right-hand wizard, Vermaelen …
… …

While Connor was pondering in his room in the Agudelo Hotel, Isabella, who had just met with Connor in the private room of the Westcolen Bar, was sitting opposite an old man in a gray robe in a hidden secret room. Isabella had removed the disguise of a middle-aged man with whiskers when she met with Connor, revealing her stunning beauty. Isabella had removed her disguise as a middle-aged man with whiskers when she met with Connor, revealing her stunningly beautiful face.
"Miss Isabella, you took too much of a risk just now. Connor Ferguson may have become a rank 1 wizard not long ago, but he's still a rank 1 wizard now. He's also a spirit type wizard just like Professor. If he really did attack you, I wouldn't have been able to stop him since I was so far away from you. How am I going to explain this to Master?" The old man in a grey robe said helplessly as he looked at Isabella. Isabella's face couldn't be seen clearly.
"Teacher Adolf, don't worry. Father has already told me to carry that treasure with me. As long as my Professor Uncle doesn't come in person, I won't be afraid even if it's that dog Bisping, let alone Conor Ferguson!" Isabella calmly replied to Adolf's grumbling.
Although Isabella didn't explain clearly what the 'treasure' she was referring to was, the gray-robed old man, Adolf, obviously understood what Isabella was referring to. He also seemed to be very confident in the power of the 'treasure'. He nodded at Isabella, and said, "No wonder Miss Isabella dared to provoke Conor Ferguson. It turns out that you have that treasure to protect you. I'm relieved!"
"Master Adolf, you're wrong! I dared to provoke Connor Ferguson not because I have that treasure to protect me, but because I've investigated Connor Ferguson. He's very shrewd and cautious in his actions. I'm sure that he has a favor to ask of us, so even if he's angered by me, he'll control his emotions. He definitely won't attack me in a fit of rage! " Isabella said. Although her voice was calm, her tone was incomparably confident.
Adolf didn't say anything after hearing this. To him, his mission was to protect Isabella and get rid of anyone or anything that threatened her safety. He didn't care about anything else.
After thinking for a while, Isabella suddenly asked Adolf, "Master Adolf, how strong do you think Connor Ferguson is now?"
Hearing Isabella's question, the grey-robed elder Adolf did not immediately answer her question. Instead, he muttered to himself for a moment before asking Isabella, "Miss Isabella, are you sure that Connor Ferguson only recently broke through to become a rank 1 Magus?"
"That's right! I'm sure that Connor Ferguson hasn't been a rank 1 Magus for more than a month. The last time I saw Connor Ferguson on the train from Loen to Tunguska, he was still an advanced Magus apprentice. There's a high probability that he successfully broke through half a month ago when he was in Tunguska! "Isabella's eyes flashed as she said firmly.
After listening to Isabella's explanation, Adolf nodded slightly and said, "Although spirit type Magi are rare, I've been in the Magus World for so many years and have come into contact with spirit type Magi. Even for a spirit type Magus, this Connor Ferguson's spiritual force is extremely terrifying."
"If I didn't have a magic artifact on me that could restrain the detection of spiritual force, I'm afraid that I would've been discovered by him the moment I entered Westcolen Bar! That's why I'm certain that old bastard Reyes imparted the Abyssal Secret Arts he cultivated to Connor Ferguson! "
"If Connor Ferguson really broke through to become a rank 1 Magus less than a month ago like you said, Miss Isabella, then he should be the strongest Magus I've ever seen who just broke through to become a rank 1 Magus. Now that he's become a rank 1 Magus, his innate spell should've evolved into Soul Shackle. With the protection of Soul Shackle, although I can say that I'll definitely win against Connor Ferguson, there's a possibility that Connor Ferguson will drag me down with him …" Adolf's voice was calm, but there was a hint of helplessness in his tone.
After listening to Adolf's explanation, Isabella furrowed her brows. After thinking for a while, she continued to ask Adolf, "Mr. Adolf, is the innate spell of Abyss Secret Arts, Soul Shackle, really as powerful as the rumors say?"
