Although Connor didn't know the answer to this question, he had a hunch that the purpose of the assassin killing Jon Ferguson was very likely to be the secret of the Ferguson Family in the family library!
Realizing this, Connor's eyes twinkled. He then used his alchemy skills to make a bronze key that looked like the real one, and placed it in the secret compartment where Jon Ferguson stored the real one. As for the real one, Connor put it in his own space-time ring. He was the heir of the Ferguson Family, so that he could keep it personally.
After that, Connor began to check the Ferguson Manor to see if there was anything unusual. After a round of inspection, Connor found nothing out of the ordinary except for a couple who were having an affair and some empty warehouses. The only thing that surprised Connor was that his second uncle, Warrent Ferguson, wasn't in the manor. Judging from the dust in his room, he hadn't lived in the manor for at least three months.
Although he was surprised, Connor didn't pay much attention to it. He was a man after all, especially a man who had broken up with his wife. It wasn't unusual for him to live with a mistress, so Connor didn't pay much attention to it.
Just like the Ferguson Manor, Connor didn't find anything suspicious in the Ferguson Manor. However, he still hid a dozen surveillance devices that he had refined himself in the Ferguson Manor, including the family library, Warrent Ferguson's villa, and other important places. If anything happened in the Ferguson Manor, Connor would know immediately with these devices.
After a busy night, Conor left the Ferguson Manor quietly at dawn the next day. However, what Conor Ferguson didn't expect was that in a luxurious palace garden in Bernabéu, the capital of the Kaman Empire, Reyes, who was dressed in a white robe, was looking to the east in the direction where Flosinone was located.
"In the end, it still came to this …"
As though he sensed something from afar, Reyes's eyes were filled with complicated emotions as he softly muttered. His voice was filled with regret and helplessness, but there was no regret.
Just as Reyes was sighing, footsteps sounded from the garden path behind him. Bisping, the middle-aged man who had injured his left eye, walked over. Bisping noticed that Reyes seemed to have something on his mind, so he didn't interrupt Reyes and stood aside quietly.
Bisping waited for about a minute before Reyes stopped lamenting. He turned to Bisping and said with a smile, "You didn't have anything to do in Bernabéu during this period of time. You must be tired from staying here."
Bisping didn't know what Reyes meant, but he knew that it was better not to play tricks in front of the professor. He nodded and said honestly, "There are too many rules in Bernabeu. I'm not used to it."
"Recently, Bernabeu has been in the eye of the storm. Because of this, no one dares to act rashly. They are all afraid that the Church of the Storm and the ninth department will shoot the bird that sticks out!" So, Bisping, are you interested in returning to Flosinone to do something for me? "Reyes paused for a moment before looking at Bisping and calmly asking," Bisping, are you interested in returning to Flosinone to do something for me? "
"Please tell me, professor!" Bisping said without hesitation.
"The Duke and the Boateng family are negotiating a deal in Flosinone. The content of the deal is related to the Gwadar magic mine ruins. The representatives of both sides are Isabella and Prince Boateng!"
"Although I am not interested in their deal, I once said that if Prince Boateng appeared in the Kaman Empire, I would extract his soul and refine it. I am a person who values promises. Since Prince Boateng has the guts to come to the Kaman Empire, I will fulfill my promise to him. Bisping, please help me bring his head back!"
Reyes said with a smile. If you didn't hear what he said and only saw the smile on his face, you would never think that this gentle middle-aged man was talking about a terrifying act of extracting someone's soul and refining their soul.
Bisping's heart sank when he heard that the matter Reyes wanted him to do was to bring back Prince Boateng's head. He frowned slightly, feeling that the matter was extremely troublesome. However, under Reyes' gaze, he nodded and said with certainty, "Understood, I will bring his head back!"
Reyes saw Bisping's frown and shook his head with a smile, "Bisping, don't worry. I know that you are not Prince Boateng's match in a one-on-one situation. I don't plan on letting you deal with him alone. I have prepared a helper for you in Flosinone!"
Bisping's frown immediately relaxed when he heard that there was a helper. He deliberated over his words and asked Reyes, "Professor, can you tell me who the helper is?"
"Of course, you have seen this person in Loen. He is my only student, Connor Ferguson!" Reyes didn't hide anything and spoke very frankly.
Before Reyes could finish his sentence, Bisping's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again. This time, Bisping's frown was even deeper than before.
Reyes wasn't surprised by Bisping's expression. He smiled and said indifferently, "About three months ago, Connor had successfully broken through to become a rank 1 Magus in Tunguska. Although it hasn't been long since he broke through, in the past month, he has fought with Robbery, the information broker, and Adolf, who was in charge of protecting Isabella. Of course, he lost both battles. However, neither Robbery nor Adolf had much of an advantage when fighting with Connor. Bisping, you can completely believe in his strength!"
Bisping knew that Reyes wouldn't lie to him about such a matter, but he still couldn't believe it. If he remembered correctly, he had met Connor Ferguson in Loen about seven or eight years ago. At that time, Connor Ferguson was only a beginner Magus apprentice!
