However, because Jon Ferguson was the lighthouse keeper of the Ferguson Family's library, not many people in the Ferguson Family knew about his existence, but he was still very important in the eyes of some senior members of the family. If he died suddenly, it might arouse suspicion in the family.
In addition, Firo only asked for some animal meat, which could be bought with some money, so Warrent Ferguson didn't feel much pressure at that time. Therefore, Warrent Ferguson chose to use a slow-acting poison to make Jon Ferguson's body deteriorate slowly, so that his death wouldn't be so sudden and suspicious.
Looking at Warrent Ferguson's bloody face, Connor shook his head slightly under his uncle's pleading gaze.
Before he knew that Jon Ferguson's murderer was Warrent Ferguson, Connor didn't plan to kill him. After all, Ferguson Sr. had just passed away, and Connor was his only son. No matter what the reason was, it wouldn't be good for him to kill his own second uncle.
Moreover, Old Ferguson had just died. If Warrent Ferguson, who was in charge of the family's armed cavalry, were to die as well, it would easily attract the attention of people with ulterior motives. This was not a good thing for Connor!
Unfortunately, Connor had sworn in front of Jon Ferguson's corpse that he would find the real murderer and avenge him. Connor didn't want to break his promise to Jon Ferguson, so Warrent Ferguson could only die now.
Seeing Connor shaking his head, Warrent Ferguson, who was tied to the wooden stake, lowered his head. After a long while, he let out a long sigh and raised his head again. He looked at Connor and said with a wry smile, "Connor, we haven't seen each other for more than 10 years. I didn't expect to see you again under such circumstances. I'm so embarrassed to be your second uncle."
Warrent Ferguson sighed again. While Connor frowned and didn't understand what Warrent Ferguson was trying to say, Warrent Ferguson suddenly changed the topic. He looked at him seriously and said, "Connor, I've done so many wrong things. As the new Earl Ferguson, I have nothing to say if you want to clean up your family. I won't blame you even if you kill me."
"However, before I die, I have two wishes. Connor, can you promise me that you'll let me meet your father without regrets?" Warrent Ferguson looked at Connor with pleading eyes.
Hearing Warrent Ferguson's bleak words and bringing up the old Ferguson, Conner frowned and pondered for a moment. Then, he decided to give Warrent Ferguson a chance for the sake of the old Ferguson. He said in a deep voice, "Please speak!"
After receiving Connor's permission, Warrent Ferguson said without hesitation, "Connor, I did all of this on my own. It has nothing to do with your second aunt, Kelly Fabian, and your cousin, Kevin Ferguson. Connor, you can do whatever you want with me, but can you please not touch them?"
Upon hearing that Warrent's first request was for the sake of his wife and children, Conor couldn't help but think highly of him. He said without hesitation, "I promise you that your matter will be a family scandal, and the family won't disclose it to the public. Your death will be reported as a sudden myocardial infarction, and it will be a sudden death! Whether it's Kelly Fabian or Kevin Ferguson, they won't be affected in any way! "
Warrent Ferguson immediately felt relieved when he heard Connor's promise. He looked at Connor and said word by word, "Connor, I know you are now an official wizard, so my second wish is for you to help me kill that devil, Firo. I have done so many wrong things, and I even killed uncle Firo. It's all because of that devil, Firo!"
Warrent Ferguson's face turned ferocious, and his eyes were filled with hatred. If Firo were here right now, Warrent Ferguson wouldn't hesitate to eat his flesh and drink his blood!
Connor wasn't surprised by Warrent Ferguson's wish. He nodded and said in a low voice, "Alright! I promise you! If I have the ability, I won't let Firo go! "
Seeing that Connor had agreed to both his wishes, Warrent Ferguson didn't have any regrets. He looked around at the world and closed his eyes. Connor didn't say anything else. He pointed at Warrent Ferguson's forehead, and Warrent Ferguson's head fell to the side. He stopped breathing and followed his brother, Alfredo Ferguson, and left this tragic world!
After dealing with Warrent Ferguson's matter, Connor turned to Aveloya and asked, "What's going on in the family recently?"
After hearing Connor's question, Aveloya replied respectfully, "Because the old Earl has passed away and Young Master Connor hasn't returned to the family, the family has been shaken. Your third uncle, Jack Ferguson, with the help of his wife, Eugenia, is actively trying to rope in the elders of the family. They want to take advantage of your absence to become the new Earl Ferguson!"
Aveloya had a mocking smile on his face as he spoke. He seemed to think that Jack Ferguson and Eugenia were overestimating themselves.
Aveloya continued, "But don't worry, Connor. Most of the power in the family is currently in the hands of Butler Martinez, Elder Bernard, and Domenech. Currently, the three elders have made it clear that they support Young Master Connor to inherit the family!"
Aveloya paused for a moment with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He seemed to be deliberating whether he should continue. While he was hesitating, Connor, who had his back facing him, said calmly, "Continue!"
Connor's order made Aveloya stop hesitating. He immediately said, "Young Master Connor, according to my observation, among the three elders in the family, only Butler Martinez wants to hand over the family to you!"
