"That's right! Connor Ferguson is the only son of the head of the Ferguson family, Alfred Ferguson, and the daughter of the Kahman Empire's Francis Financial Group, Catherine Francis. According to the Kahman Empire's Law of Succession, Connor Ferguson is the first successor of the Ferguson family. He is the best candidate to replace the old Ferguson as the new Earl! "Stephanie said with certainty.
Prince Boateng nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with Stephanie's introduction. He then asked Stephanie again, "What's the situation with the Ferguson family recently?"
"The current head of the Ferguson family, Connor Ferguson's father, Alfred Ferguson, is not in good health. The Ferguson family has been in turmoil recently. Although many people are willing to let Connor Ferguson inherit the Ferguson family, there are also some people who don't want to see Connor Ferguson return to Flosinone. They want to get rid of Connor Ferguson!" Stephanie seemed to have vaguely realized why Prince asked this question. She hesitated for a moment, but still said,
After listening to Stephanie's introduction, Prince Boateng seemed to have a good idea. His eyes flashed with a trace of light. After pondering for nearly a minute, he ordered Stephanie.
'Stephanie, for the sake of the upcoming negotiations with Duke's faction, your mission is still mainly to gather information about Duke's faction. However, I request that from now on, you must arrange for a group of people to keep an eye on the Ferguson family. I want to know who each person who enters and leaves the Ferguson family is!'
Stephanie wasn't surprised by Prince Boateng's order to keep an eye on the Ferguson Family. She sighed in her heart. Even though she was extremely afraid of Prince Boateng, who could take her life at any time, out of her loyalty to the Boateng Family, Stephanie hesitated for a moment before reminding Prince Boateng, "Don't worry.
"Sir Prince, the Ferguson family is the only hereditary Earl family in Flosinone. Although their strength and reputation have declined a lot in recent years, they still have the title of Earl. They are the traditional supporters of the Kahman Empire's hereditary nobles faction. A while ago, when old Ferguson was heavily mobilizing his troops, whether it was the Church of the Storm, Religion of the Earth, or the Kahman Empire's royal family, they all sent doctors to check on him!"
"Although the Ferguson family doesn't have a wizard at the moment, so it's very easy to move against them. But once you do that, it's the same as slapping the faces of the two major churches of the Kahman Empire, as well as the hereditary nobles faction. You've crossed the red line of the Kahman Empire, and the consequences will be very severe. It will definitely draw the wrath of the Kahman Empire, and the family's businesses in the Kahman Empire will suffer a devastating blow!"
Although Stephanie's reminder was very sincere and sincere, Prince Boateng obviously didn't care about it. The one-armed man only glanced at Stephanie and said in a neutral tone, "Stephanie, I'm not as stupid as you think. You only need to gather information for the negotiations between the family and the Duke's faction, then complete the mission I gave you. Tell me the news about Connor Ferguson, and the rest has nothing to do with you. You don't have the right to lecture me on how to do things!"
At the end, Prince Boateng's emotionless gaze swept across Stephanie's pretty face. The warning and threat in his eyes were self-evident.
Stephanie felt the coldness in the eyes of this one-armed man in front of her. Although she had seen her fair share of situations, she still shivered and almost knelt on the ground.
"My apologies! Lord Prince! I was overthinking. I'll complete the task you gave me as soon as possible! "Stephanie took a deep breath and tried her best to stand straight. She then said very humbly," Prince Boateng, I've been thinking too much.
Prince Boateng didn't say anything more after seeing that his warning had worked on Stephanie. He waved his hand, indicating that Stephanie could leave.
After Stephanie left the room, Prince Boateng was the only one left in the room. After sitting on the sofa and pondering for a while, Prince Boateng came to the glass window of the room and looked down at the buildings in Flosinone's inner city. With a ferocious expression, he muttered to himself,
"Connor Ferguson, Connor Ferguson, you must have received a lot of benefits from that bastard Reyes since you were able to become a Rank 1 Magus in just a dozen years. Since that's the case, you, as his student, should help him repay a small part of the debt that Reyes owes …"

Late at night, Ferguson Residence.
In front of Old Ferguson's sickbed, Varga was casting a spell to control a fist-sized jade green crystal ball. It floated above Old Ferguson's skinny body. Under the control of Varga's spell, the jade green crystal ball emitted rays of jade green light from time to time, landing on various parts of Old Ferguson's body.
Connor Ferguson was standing beside Varga. He was controlling a small shielding formation to prevent the energy waves produced by Varga's diagnosis of Old Ferguson's condition from leaking out.
Danilo, the spy that Reyes had planted in the Ferguson Residence, had already been eliminated by Connor. In addition, Connor already knew about Old Ferguson's condition through his surveillance of Ferguson Residence. Since Old Ferguson's condition had worsened due to the effects of Milner's pill, there was no time to delay. Therefore, Connor didn't wait until it was completely safe before taking Varga to check on Old Ferguson. Instead, he made a prompt decision to take Varga back to his residence under the cover of the night.
It was obvious that Varga was very attentive to this dying "future father-in-law" in front of him. Although using the jade green crystal ball consumed a lot of her magic power and energy, Varga still gritted her teeth and carefully checked on Old Ferguson for nearly half an hour. Only then did she retrieve the jade green crystal ball from Old Ferguson's body, sweating profusely and looking slightly pale.
Seeing Varga retrieve the jade green crystal ball, Connor knew that Varga had finished checking on Old Ferguson. He stopped controlling the energy shielding formation and glanced at Old Ferguson, who was still unconscious on the sickbed. He then asked Varga, "How is it, Varga? Can he be cured?"
