"Letter? Reyes gave me a letter? "Connor asked Varga in confusion.
Although Bisping told Connor a lot of things, including the ins and outs of the matter, he didn't mention Reyes' letter to Connor at all. Bisping told Varga about it, but didn't tell him, the recipient of the letter. Was it a coincidence, or did he have other motives?
Hearing Connor's question, Varga said without hesitation, "That's right, Bisping said that Reyes asked him to bring you a letter!" Varga seemed to have realized something after saying that. She looked at Connor's doubtful expression and asked, "Connor, didn't Bisping tell you?"
Connor shook his head and said, "Bisping only told me that a guy named Prince Boateng wanted to kill me to take revenge on Reyes. He didn't tell me that Reyes asked him to give me a letter!"
Connor's narration also made Varga feel a little incredulous. She lowered her head and thought for a while, but couldn't come up with an answer.
"It doesn't matter, Bisping will probably come looking for me again!" Connor shrugged his shoulders slightly. There were many possibilities for Bisping to do this. Perhaps the letter itself didn't exist, or Bisping was lying to Varga. Or perhaps there was something else hidden in the letter itself. In short, Bisping must have his own reasons for doing this. As for his reasons, Connor still couldn't figure them out!
The only thing Connor could be sure of was that Bisping would definitely come looking for him again. Bisping didn't say why he came looking for Connor. He only said that Prince Boateng had come to Flosinone and was very likely to harm Connor. Connor didn't pay him any more attention and left on his own. However, Bisping already knew what he wanted to say but didn't have the time to say it!
Bisping's purpose for coming looking for Connor was to join hands with Connor to kill Prince Boateng together, so as to fulfill the promise made by Professor Reyes to Prince Boateng in Benitez Castle. If Prince dared to enter the Kaman Empire again while he was still alive, Reyes would extract his soul and refine his soul.
Bisping's strength was above Connor's, but if the one-armed man Connor met in Aksa Forest was really the Prince Boateng that Bisping mentioned, then Connor estimated that Bisping and Prince Boateng were basically on par with each other. In a one on one situation, it would definitely be a 50/50 situation. Whether it was Bisping or Prince Boateng, they wouldn't be able to do anything to each other.
If that was the case, if Bisping still wanted to complete the mission given to him by Reyes, then Connor would be very important to him. Although Connor's strength wasn't on par with the two of them, he was still a rank 1 Magus and an alchemist. If it was done properly, Connor could set up a spell formation to lure Prince Boateng in, and then join hands with Bisping to kill Prince Boateng.
Saying that Prince Boateng would definitely die was an exaggeration, but saying that there was a 50/50 chance of killing him was a conservative estimate. There was no problem at all!
Thus, in order to get rid of Prince Boateng, even if Connor straightforwardly rejected him this time, Bisping would definitely come looking for Connor again!
As for Bisping's reason for persuading Connor to join hands with him, it was because Prince Boateng wanted to harm Connor and was a hidden danger to Connor's safety. If Prince Boateng died, then this hidden danger would disappear.
Connor had already met the one-armed man in Aksa Forest, who was suspected to be Prince Boateng, and had seen his intense killing intent, so he agreed with Bisping's reasoning.
Although he didn't know why that one-armed man in Aksa Forest had let him go, Connor was certain that with his intense killing intent, if he had the chance to meet him again, he definitely wouldn't let him go.
On the surface, because of his relationship with Reyes, Prince Boateng had already become a huge threat to Connor's safety. Joining hands with Bisping to get rid of Prince Boateng and clear up this hidden danger might be the best choice for Connor. However, after realizing this situation, Connor chose to reject Bisping after thinking for a while.
The reason was very simple. Firstly, Connor didn't trust Bisping. As Reyes's subordinate, Bisping was already standing on the opposite side of Connor. Joining hands with him was no different from asking a tiger for its skin. Bisping might kill two birds with one stone in the process of joining hands. Not only would he get rid of Prince Boateng, but he would also backstab Connor.
Secondly, from the relationship between Connor and Reyes, Connor and Prince Boateng might not be enemies. After all, they had a common enemy, and that was Professor Reyes. However, the crux of the problem now was that based on the intense killing intent Prince Boateng had displayed in Aksa Forest, even if Connor were to meet him frankly, he definitely wouldn't believe that as Reyes's student, Connor would stand on the opposite side of Reyes and become his enemy.
There was another point. Although Reyes didn't seem to intend to deal with Connor in the short term, in the long term, Reyes would become Connor's greatest enemy. To go against Reyes, Connor's strength alone wasn't enough. He had to cooperate with Reyes's enemy, and the Secret Society's Wang Jue faction was his natural ally.
Although the relationship between Connor and that crazy woman Isabella was very bad and there was a huge conflict between them, this conflict wasn't irreconcilable. If Connor and Bisping worked together to get rid of Prince Boateng, who was representing the Boateng Family to negotiate with Isabella, it would be tantamount to cutting off their own path of retreat. This would worsen the existing conflict between Connor and the Wang Jue faction, causing the relationship between them to fall into an irreconcilable situation.
Reyes, the Secret Society's Professor, was indeed astute and astute, giving Connor an overt plot!
If Connor agreed to work with Bisping, then he would fall into Reyes' trap of killing two birds with one stone. Not only would he become Reyes' chess piece, but he would also cut off his own path of retreat. If Connor didn't agree to work with Bisping to kill Prince Boateng, then Connor would have to bear the consequences alone. Prince Boateng, who was a rank 1 Magus, was a huge threat to his safety.
In short, regardless of whether Connor agreed to work with Bisping to deal with Prince Boateng, he had already fallen into Reyes' trap!
