Connor suddenly let out a sigh. The most pressing issue was Varga's matter. Although Reyes didn't say it explicitly, the meaning behind his words was very obvious. He hoped that Varga would join the Secret Society alone and not bring along an old lady.
However, with Varga's character, how could she abandon her grandmother who raised her and join the Secret Society alone to seek protection? Would it be harder to do than killing her?
Connor's feelings toward Varga were very complicated. Even though he had forcefully kissed Varga in her house, Connor could swear to his conscience that he didn't have any improper thoughts toward Varga. That kiss was just an impulsive action of his after escaping death.
Although he didn't have any improper thoughts toward Varga, Connor didn't want to see Varga in such a dangerous situation. After all, his life was saved by her.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Connor still couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds. He couldn't help but feel depressed.
Three days later, Connor, who was sitting cross-legged on a futon and meditating with his eyes closed, seemed to have sensed something. He slowly opened his eyes, and with a thought, he threw the magic stone that had been drained of energy into the trash can. His right hand stroked the space ring he was wearing, and a piece of paper that was emitting a dazzling white light appeared in front of Connor.
After a few seconds, the white light on the paper dissipated. This was an alchemy item that Reyes had given to Connor. A line of Byzantine characters was clearly written on the paper. "Old Victor will be waiting for you in the Martip Community in the Southern District in two hours. The people of Spirit Worship Sect have also discovered traces of Varga. Therefore, do a good job. Settle it as soon as possible and bring Varga back alone!"
Connor read every word of Reyes's message several times. He then put the paper back into his space ring with a solemn expression.
"Sigh … What's going to happen has finally happened!" Connor murmured to himself with a complicated expression.
After putting on a disguise, Connor turned around and left. He wanted to rent a horse carriage first before he went to the Southern District to meet Old Victor.
Connor drove the carriage along the streets of the Southern District that were overflowing with dirty water. He carefully observed the slums around him. According to the A.I. Chip's guidance, the Martip Community that Reyes had mentioned in the message should be nearby.
He realized that in the message that Reyes had sent him, he only said that Old Victor was waiting for him here, but didn't say how he should contact Old Victor.
"Lord Connor is here!" Connor followed the A.I. Chip's directions and arrived at the so-called Martip Community. Just as he was thinking about how to find old Victor, a voice transmission that he was very familiar with sounded in his ears.
Connor looked in the direction of the voice transmission. Old Victor, who was wearing a linen robe, was nodding to him. He then transmitted his voice again, "The house behind the tree in the first lesson on the left." After that, he turned around and left.
Connor quietly parked the horse carriage and walked towards the location that Old Victor had told him about.
"Butler Victor, how's the situation now?" Connor couldn't wait to ask Old Victor as soon as he walked into the dilapidated house.
"Lord Connor, Varga and her grandmother are currently hiding in a house in front of us. According to our intelligence, the people of Spirit Worship Church have already found out that Varga and her grandmother are hiding here. They have already set off and will arrive here in about half an hour!" Old Victor didn't hide anything from Connor's question and straightforwardly told him everything that Connor wanted to know. He also pointed out the hiding place of Varga and her grandmother to Connor.
Hearing that there was still half an hour left, Connor couldn't help but frown. There was really too little time left. After thinking for a while, Connor asked tentatively, "Butler Victor, do you have any plans?"
Old Victor glanced at Connor with a faint smile and said straightforwardly, "Yes, I do! Once the people of Spirit Worship Church arrive and kill that old lady, we can save Varga. At that time, Lord Connor can persuade Varga to join our secret society in the name of avenging her grandmother! "
"F * ck!" Connor cursed in his heart. Old Victor's plan was similar to the one he had just thought about on the way here. Although it was a little simple, it was indeed very practical. He could appear in front of Varga when she was the most vulnerable, and … Varga, that silly girl, would definitely be fooled!
"Do you know the strength of the people of Spirit Worship Church?" Connor didn't show his emotions on his face, so he continued to ask calmly.
"I estimate that there will be one advanced apprentice and two intermediate apprentices. Lord Connor, you don't need to worry about that. Old Victor will be in charge of the people of Spirit Worship Church. You only need to appear in front of Miss Varga and persuade her to join our secret society!" Old Victor said with a smile.
Connor nodded in silence. His brain began to work quickly. He felt that he should do something now. He couldn't just watch Mary's grandmother who had saved his life die an unnatural death.
"Damn you, Balero!" Old Victor suddenly took out a piece of voice-transmitting paper that was shining with white light. When the white light dimmed, Old Victor suddenly cursed after reading the message.
"What's wrong, Old Victor?" Seeing Old Victor cursing, Connor was instantly energized. He realized that this might be his chance!
"Lord Reyes has sent me a message. The Secret Order has hired the bounty hunter Balero to obtain the potion formula from Varga's grandmother. Balero is now lurking around us!" Old Victor said solemnly. He paused for a moment before continuing, "Lord Connor, you stay here and observe. I'll find Balero and kill him!"
"Okay, no problem!" Connor, who was thinking about how to send Old Victor away, was naturally ecstatic when he heard that Old Victor wanted to leave. He agreed immediately.
Old Victor nodded and didn't say anything else. He turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Connor alone in the room.
After making sure that Old Victor had left to look for Balero, who was lurking nearby, Connor took a deep breath. He didn't dare to delay any longer. He secretly dashed towards the room where Varga and her grandmother were hiding.
The place where Varga and her grandmother were hiding was a typical slum. The so-called door was just a piece of broken wood. The windows didn't even have glass. They were just a thin layer of paper that leaked in all directions.
