"So, for these two reasons, only you, Connor Ferguson, can meet the conditions!" Isabella sighed as she met Connor's gaze.
After listening to Isabella's explanation, Connor's eyes flickered a few times, as if he was weighing the pros and cons of this matter.
"Connor Ferguson, this matter came out of the blue, and I didn't prepare any special bargaining chips for you. However, this matter is very important to me. If you have any conditions, Connor, you can state them now. As long as I can agree to them, I won't refuse!"
"Of course, Connor Ferguson, you also have the right to refuse this deal, but because time is of the essence, I need you to give me an answer immediately. After all, if you refuse, I might have a chance to find someone else to help!"
Seeing Connor's pondering appearance, although she was very eager for Connor to accept it, she knew that Connor was very scheming. If she expressed her impatience, Connor Ferguson might become suspicious and refuse the deal.
After deliberating for about a minute, Connor gradually came to a decision. He waved at Isabella, indicating that she should hand over the crystal ball.
Seeing this, Isabella was overjoyed. She knew that Connor wasn't against this deal. She immediately threw the crystal ball in her hand at Connor.
After receiving the crystal ball, Connor began to examine it. After a minute, he had the results of the examination. Connor was puzzled. He immediately held the crystal ball in his hand and asked Isabella in a deep voice, "Did you tamper with the memories in the crystal ball?"
Although she could determine that Prince Boateng's memories in the crystal ball had been tampered with after a simple examination, Isabella, who had long expected that this kind of thing couldn't be hidden from an alchemist like Connor, did not hide it from him. She pretended to be very frank and said to Connor Ferguson, "Yes, Mr. Alchemist.
"That's right. Mr. Adolf did something to the crystal ball. He made you search for Alberto's Ice Elemental Spell in the memories in the crystal ball, but you won't be able to determine who the owner of the memories is. It's very surprising, but is that important?"
After hearing Isabella's explanation, Connor immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at her. Although he didn't say anything, his gaze still made Isabella's heart tighten.
Feeling Connor's gaze, Isabella hesitated for a moment. She then whispered to Connor, "Alright, Connor Ferguson, if you must know, I can reveal some information about the owner of the memories in the crystal ball to you!"
"For example, he was a big shot. We don't want anyone to know about his death, and we don't want to have anything to do with his death. Connor, believe me, it's not a good thing for you to know too much about this person's death!"
After listening to Isabella's words, Connor once again fell into deep thought. He didn't need anything in particular now, and the reason why he was willing to listen to Isabella was that Connor's idea of going against Reyes was that Isabella's faction was a natural ally for him. Connor certainly couldn't go against his teacher Reyes alone, but the enemy of an enemy was a friend. He needed the help of the faction!
Although the idea was good, because of some previous matters, Connor and Isabella had some conflicts. Although these conflicts weren't very deep, they weren't so easy to resolve. Connor didn't want to give up this natural ally of his because of Isabella, so for Connor, he had to try to resolve the conflict between him and Isabella. At least, he had to make their relationship look better.
At this moment, the crystal ball in Connor's hand was an opportunity in Connor's eyes. With the help of this opportunity, he might be able to resolve the conflict between him and Isabella.
The only thing that worried Connor was that although there was nothing wrong with the crystal ball and Isabella's words were reasonable, for some reason, Connor had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
After thinking for three minutes, Connor was confident that with his alchemy skills, the crystal ball wouldn't pose any threat to him. He then made up his mind and said to Isabella, "Go to the Sedeen Café three days later. You can find the thing you want in locker No. 14."
Hearing Connor's words, Isabella was elated. However, she was experienced, so she remained calm. She asked Connor, "If so, what's your condition, Connor Ferguson?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll owe you for now." Connor looked at Isabella and said in a deep voice.
Although she didn't know why Connor would make such a choice, Connor had already taken over this matter. She and Adolf had already discussed to frame Connor and Bisping for Prince Boateng's death, so Isabella didn't think too much about it. She nodded and said, "Sure, I'll leave it with you. I'll go to the Sedeen Café to get it in locker No. 14 three days later."
Isabella then gave Connor a deep look, as if warning Connor to keep his promise. She then turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Ten seconds after Isabella left, Varga opened the door and walked out. She was only a door away from Connor, so she heard everything that Connor and Isabella said.
"Are you still planning to fight for the Prince's faction?" Varga asked softly as she looked at Connor, who had a serious expression on his face.
Hearing Varga's question, a bitter smile appeared on Connor's serious face. He replied, "I'll try one last time. It's a pity to give up on the Prince's faction because of that crazy woman, Isabella!"
"Isabella has already discovered this place. Where should we go next?" Varga was well aware of the bitterness in Connor's heart, and thus didn't linger on the topic of the prince's faction. Instead, he changed the topic and continued asking.
Hearing Varga's question, a smile appeared on Connor's face. He said to Varga, "There's no need to run anymore. I bumped into Prince Boateng a few hours ago. I'm all in this state because of that bastard, but I also severely injured him. He won't be able to take revenge on me for at least half a year!"
