Although Connor couldn't see the face of the old man who released his aura under the cover of the old man's grey robe, it didn't stop Connor from tensing up when he sensed the old man's powerful aura!
Before the old man released his aura, Connor saw him sitting on the bench reading the newspaper. However, he didn't notice anything unusual about him and just treated him as an ordinary old man reading the newspaper.
He never thought that it would be this old man. Although the aura released by the grey-robed old man wasn't much, it was very condensed. It revealed a strong feeling inside and out. Feeling the aura of the grey-robed old man, Connor understood in his heart that the strength of this grey-robed old man was definitely above his own even though he hadn't fought with him yet!
What made Connor's heart tighten the most was that the bench the old man was sitting on was directly facing the window of the Count's Suite on the fifth floor of the Agudelo Hotel where he and Varga were.
It was obvious that Isabella had come prepared with such a powerful rank 1 Magus. In addition to Isabella's words, although she did not say it explicitly, Connor could still feel a strong sense of threat from her words.
The person Isabella used to threaten Connor was none other than Varga, who was in the Count's Suite in the Agudelo Hotel and didn't know what was going on!
Although he didn't know how Isabella found the Agudelo Hotel, since she was able to find Connor's place in Flosinone, she obviously knew about Varga's existence.
This was also why Isabella was so sure that Connor would follow her "suggestion" to go to Kavani's Restaurant and find trouble with the restaurant's owner, Vedigar Kavani!
Connor had no doubt that if he had chosen to reject Isabella's suggestion back then, the grey-robed old man sitting on the bench would have directly rushed up to the fifth floor of the Agudelo Hotel and captured Valga in the room!
When Connor discovered that Isabella was using Valga to threaten him, the first thought that emerged in his mind wasn't to compromise, but to turn hostile and use thunderous means to capture Isabella and hold her hostage! Since the king's faction had the guts to use Varga to threaten him, he could also use Isabella to threaten them!
At that time, the straight-line distance between Connor and Isabella was less than three meters. Connor was a level-1 wizard, and Isabella was an advanced wizard apprentice. Under normal circumstances, if a level-1 wizard wanted to control an advanced wizard apprentice at a distance of three meters, although it wasn't easy, it wasn't too difficult either.
However, Connor only seriously considered the idea of kidnapping Isabella for a second before giving it up. The reason why Connor gave up on this idea wasn't because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to control Isabella enough. After controlling her, he wouldn't be able to solve the threat of the rank 1 Magus hiding in the dark using Valga.
In fact, when Connor found out that Isabella was able to mobilize an official wizard to cooperate with her, his feelings could only be described as' shock '. Connor began to re-examine Isabella's status in the king's faction. If it was said that Connor only had suspicions about Isabella's identity after their last meeting at the Westcolen Bar, then this time, he was absolutely sure that Isabella was definitely not just a mistress of the king's right-hand wizard, Vermaelen.
Since that was the case, Isabella was not stupid. As an advanced wizard apprentice, she definitely knew how dangerous it was to be three meters away from a level-1 wizard. Since she had done so, she obviously had something to rely on. She was not worried or afraid that he would become angry out of humiliation after discovering that he was being threatened by them.
Then the question was, who was Isabella relying on?
Was it the grey-robed old man sitting on the bench outside the restaurant reading the newspaper?
That's right! Although this grey-robed old man was stronger than Connor, and not just by a little, but by a lot, this old man was more than a hundred meters away from Connor. As a spirit elemental wizard, if Connor decided to take the risk and attack Isabella, this grey-robed old man would definitely not be able to stop Connor from attacking Isabella.
Someone as smart as Isabella would definitely understand this logic. The reason why she chose to sit so close to Connor and threaten Connor was that she was not relying on the grey-robed old man, but herself!
Coupled with the fact that Connor had just confirmed that she was not a simple person, Connor was even more certain that Isabella had something to rely on. If he had still chosen to forcefully make a move at that time, if he could not take down Isabella in one strike, then Connor was certain that the gray-robed old man on the bench would have taken the opportunity to launch a thunderous attack on him!
Therefore, after quickly weighing the pros and cons, Connor chose to give up on attacking Isabella, pay the bill, and leave. Although it seemed like he was scared by Isabella's threat, Connor had already thought of a way to deal with it.
Although Connor did not know what was going on between Kavani Restaurant and Verdigal Kavani that made the king's faction treat them so seriously, Connor was sure that there was something wrong with that place since Isabella was so determined to take him there.
Besides, Isabella did not hesitate to use Varga to threaten him to go to Kavani Restaurant to cause trouble for Verdigal Kavani. Obviously, it was risky to go to Kavani Restaurant to cause trouble for Verdigal Kavani. Therefore, in order to avoid the risk, they decided to send him there while their own people hid behind him.
Isabella's idea was good, but Connor believed that since Isabella valued Kavani Restaurant so much, she would definitely hide in a very secluded corner to observe him when he went to attack Kavani Restaurant.
Knowing this, Connor decided to play a trick on Isabella, which led to the scene in Kavani Restaurant just now. After playing a trick in Kavani Restaurant to attract Isabella's attention, what Connor needed to do now was to immediately return to the Agudelo Hotel and save Varga from the threat of the king's faction.
