However, Kurzawa's informant's account of how Aveloya managed to escape after discovering the Derong Black Knights' attack differed greatly from Aveloya's own account!
The Derong Black Knights were considered a powerful bandit group in the Flosinone region, so they had the guts to accept the Leo Consortium, a competitor of the Ferguson Family, to attack the Fallows warehouse where the Ferguson Family's production and distribution company stored their ores.
But in the Flosinone region, although the Ferguson Family had declined, they had been operating in Flosinone for hundreds of years after all. Their various connections were intertwined, and they still had the title of a hereditary Count of the Empire. In addition, the Ferguson Family also maintained a team of about ten knights. Their absolute strength was far beyond the Derong Black Knights'.
Therefore, although the Derong Black Knights were blinded by greed and accepted the Leo Consortium's employment to attack Fallows' warehouse, they weren't stupid enough to launch an attack with great fanfare. They wanted to make this attack a baseless case that no one knew who did it, so as to avoid the wrath and revenge of the Ferguson Family!
After the Derong Black Knights finished attacking the Fallows warehouse and discovered that Aveloya had escaped, they immediately dispatched a small team of eight bandits to chase after Aveloya to prevent the news from leaking out. When Aveloya was caught, he killed the eight armed bandits in less than a minute and continued to escape calmly.
If Aveloya was a knight who practiced the Knight's Breathing Technique, this result might not be surprising. But when Aveloya married into the Ferguson Family, he was already 25 years old. He had missed the best age to become a knight, and in Aveloya's resume, there was nothing related to knights!
If the detective report that Kurzawa provided to Connor about Aveloya and the Derong Black Knights was true, then there was obviously something wrong with Aveloya. This person might be the spy that Reyes had planted in the Ferguson Family that Connor had been searching for!
After carefully reading the information about Aveloya three times, Connor put it back into his pocket. After that, he took a sip of the hand-ground coffee made from Flosinone Pauleta beans and prepared to pay the bill and leave the Agudelo Hotel. Just as he was about to go to Aveloya's address, "Bruno Community Mansion No. 7", according to the detective report, a plain-looking girl in an exquisite blue dress suddenly walked into the restaurant and appeared in front of Connor.
Connor was sure that he had never seen this girl before. If he had, he would have a deep impression of her. However, for some reason, Connor's sharp intuition gave him a faint sense of familiarity with this girl, as if he had met her somewhere before.
Just as Connor pretended to pick up the coffee cup and drink it, he quietly looked at the girl in the blue dress from the corner of his eye. While Connor was thinking about the relationship between him and the girl in the blue dress, something even more unexpected happened. The girl in the blue dress who gave him a sense of familiarity, after looking around the restaurant, directly sat at a seat that was only three meters away from Connor.
The choice of the girl in the blue dress immediately alerted Connor. It was only 6: 30 in the morning, and it was not the peak time for the guests staying at the Agudelo Hotel to enjoy their breakfast. This luxurious restaurant that could accommodate 500 people at the same time only had a dozen or so people eating at the same time.
In fact, before the girl in the blue dress sat next to Connor, other people in the restaurant consciously kept a distance of at least ten meters away from her, except for those who came here together. Connor's seat was in a remote corner, and there were no other diners within fifteen meters of Connor.
Therefore, the girl in the blue dress not only gave Connor a sense of familiarity, but also sat so close to Connor. Connor had a vague feeling that this girl, who he had never seen before, might come to this restaurant for Connor Ferguson.
While Connor was secretly alert of the girl in the blue dress, the girl in the blue dress didn't seem to notice Connor's vigilance. She waved at the waiter standing aside, and the waiter began to order, "Give me a cup of unsweetened Boulet hand-ground coffee and a plate of Snade whole-wheat bread. Hurry up, I'm in a hurry."
"Understood! Miss, I'll bring what you want as soon as possible! " Hearing the girl in the blue dress' order, the waiter replied very respectfully. After that, he bowed to the girl in the blue dress, and then left.
After ordering, the girl in the blue dress didn't seem to be in a hurry. She quietly looked at the imitation of the famous painting "The Rising Sun of Flosinone", which was hung on the wall of the restaurant. It seemed that she was very interested in this imitation.
Connor sneered at the girl in the blue dress. Although he didn't know who the girl in the blue dress was, her behavior made Connor more certain that she came for him. The reason why she pretended to be admiring the painting was just to cover it up.
"Aren't you a good actress? Aren't you tired of pretending like this?" Connor took another sip of the coffee in his cup and savored the mellow taste of the Boulet coffee in his mouth. He was sure that this girl in the blue dress was definitely a wizard like him, but he didn't know what her cultivation was like.
Connor's transmission seemed to have surprised the girl in the blue dress, but she was still calm. Her eyes continued to stare at the painting on the wall, but her cherry lips inadvertently opened slightly, and she transmitted to Connor in a voice that was very unfamiliar to Connor, "Don't ask me who I am. I know what you're looking for. I'm here to provide you with clues!"
Connor's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard the voice transmission, and then they flickered with a wisp of bright light. After that, he replied via voice transmission, "Since you've come to provide me with clues, then I'm all ears!"
