Late at night, in the Hoffenheim community of Flosino, Connor, who was wearing a black robe and a silver mask, looked at the looming huge building in front of him with a complicated expression. In his memory, a hundred meters ahead was the place where he used to live and grow up — Ferguson's Mansion.
Connor had stayed up all night to refine all the surveillance equipment he was going to use. Connor didn't dare to underestimate the abilities of his teacher, Reyes. He knew very well that if he took action one day later, he would have to bear the risk of his and Varga's whereabouts being exposed. Therefore, he decisively chose to investigate his home tonight, which was the Ferguson Mansion that had been passed down from the ancestors of the Ferguson Family.
The Ferguson Family had lived in Flosinone for hundreds of years and had many manors, villas, and other properties in Flosinone. However, the members of the Ferguson Family mainly lived in the Ferguson Mansion in front of him and the Ferguson Manor in the western suburbs of Flosinone. The core members of the Ferguson Family lived in the Ferguson Mansion in the city, while the other branches lived in the Ferguson Manor and other manors.
According to Connor's secret investigation of the Ferguson Mansion over the past few days, the current residents of the Ferguson Mansion were similar to how he had left Flosinone for Loen ten years ago in a fit of anger. It was still the old Ferguson, his third uncle, Jack Ferguson, and his family of six. There was also the old butler and his wife, a team of twelve odd-job workers, coachmen, ten maids, eight bodyguards, two gardeners, and five cooks.
As for Connor Ferguson's second uncle, Warrent Ferguson, although he was also a core member of the Ferguson Family and had the strength of a Grand Knight, he was the strongest person in the Ferguson Family in terms of military strength. He replaced the old Ferguson Family who was in poor health and managed the Ferguson Family's only armed force, the Knights. However, his reputation in the Ferguson Family was greatly damaged when his wife, Kelly Fabian, suddenly attacked him in public during a family meeting. She secretly transferred assets to her illegitimate child, and the matter of him evading the T tax was exposed, so his reputation in the Ferguson Family was greatly damaged.
Although Warrent Ferguson dealt with the matter neatly under the strong intervention of the old Ferguson Family, his reputation in the Ferguson Family plummeted, and he never recovered. In addition, he resented his wife, Kelly Fabian, for that matter. Their relationship as husband and wife completely broke down, and they only existed in name. Therefore, he simply moved out of the Ferguson Mansion and lived in the Ferguson Manor on the outskirts of Flosinone with the Knights of the Family.
After Warrent Ferguson left the Ferguson Mansion, his wife, Kelly Fabian, raised their child by herself. There was no point in living in the Ferguson Mansion, so she also brought their child, Kevin Ferguson, to live in a villa under the name of the Ferguson Family in the Falcao Community. They rarely had any contact with the Ferguson Family, so the only people who lived in the Ferguson Mansion were the old Ferguson Family and Jack Forgenson's family.
Later on, Connor Ferguson's mother, Catherine Francis, passed away. The former Connor Ferguson angrily believed that it was because of the old Ferguson Family, so the young and impetuous Connor Ferguson chose to break away from the family's control and went to Loen Green University to study history. Now, the only members of the Ferguson Family left in the Ferguson Mansion were the old Ferguson Family and Jack Ferguson's family.
Although Connor was trying very hard to control his emotions, he didn't know why, but as a rank 1 Magus, he still felt a little nervous when he looked at the Ferguson Mansion in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, Connor calmed his emotions and no longer hesitated as he quickly moved towards the building in front of him. The Hoffenheim Community where the Ferguson Mansion was located was the city of Flosinone. It was a traditional gathering place for nobles. More than ten noble families lived in this area, so in order to ensure the security of the community, even in the middle of the night, the X-soldiers still maintained a patrol every half an hour. There was only a minute left until the next patrol arrived. If Connor didn't do anything, he might bump into the patrolling X-soldiers.
Of course, with Connor's current strength as a rank 1 Magus, not to mention a patrol of X-soldiers, even if he bumped into a group of acolytes, it would only be a matter of a minute or two for him to get rid of them. However, Connor's goal this time wasn't to kill, but to quietly investigate the Ferguson Family. He wanted to find a way to dig out the spy that Reyes had planted in the Ferguson Family. With this goal in mind, bumping into the X-soldiers wasn't a good choice.
According to his memories of the Ferguson Mansion, Connor arrived at the foot of the wall. He then jumped over the 3 meter high wall as if it was flat ground, easily flipping over it. Landing in the Ferguson Mansion, Connor couldn't help but nod his head as he looked at the flowers and trees that had been meticulously trimmed.
The location he chose according to his memories of the Ferguson Mansion wasn't wrong. The Ferguson Mansion hadn't changed much in the ten years he had been away. He was now in the small garden of the Ferguson Mansion. If he walked another 300 meters forward, he would reach the old Ferguson's villa. If he walked another 500 meters to the left, he would reach the courtyard where his third uncle, Jack Ferguson, and his family lived. If he walked another 300 meters to the back, he would reach the bungalow where the stable, servants, and bodyguards lived. Near the bungalow were the stables and warehouses.
Without hesitation, Connor continued to follow his plan. He walked stealthily to the left side of the courtyard. Connor soon saw the courtyard where Jack Ferguson's family lived. Although it was late at night and everyone was sleeping soundly, Jack Ferguson's study was still brightly lit. Connor's powerful mental strength allowed him to clearly sense that a middle-aged man and woman were discussing something in the study.
Of the middle-aged man and woman, the man was as strong as an ox and had short blond hair. He gave off a dignified feeling at first glance. His face also bore some resemblance to Connor's father, Old Ferguson. Although they hadn't seen each other for ten years, Connor could still recognize him at a glance. This middle-aged man was none other than Old Ferguson's third brother, his third uncle, Jack Ferguson. At this moment, Jack Ferguson was sitting in the chair behind the desk, looking slightly tired.
