After explaining Isabella's doubts, Adolf began to talk about the main topic. After organizing his words, he slowly said, "According to my sources, three days ago on the outskirts of Bernabeu, Reyes attacked Jackson, a level-2 sorcerer from the Religion of the Earth. He severely injured Jackson within 10 moves. According to reliable sources, Jackson is still in critical condition under the treatment of many doctors from the Religion of the Earth. However, even if he is saved, he won't be able to return to his previous state."
Although Isabella already understood some of the situation from the letter, she was still shocked to hear more details from Adolf. After thinking for a few seconds, Isabella seemed to have made up her mind. She said in a deep voice, "Master Adolf, my father just sent me a message saying that the situation might become very chaotic in the next week. He wants me to stay on the same side as you and be careful!"
After hearing Isabella's words, Adolf seemed to have realized something. His expression changed abruptly, and a sharp light shot out from his old eyes. Just when Isabella was surprised by the change in Adolf's expression, Adolf's expression returned to normal. He sighed and said, "Since Master Adolf has told you this, then the chaotic situation should be very likely to happen! “
Adolf hesitated when he saw Isabella's puzzled expression. He then looked around and saw that the surroundings were covered by his grey barrier. No one could eavesdrop on them. He then lowered his voice and said to Isabella, "Since Master Adolf said so, then the level-3 sorcerer from the Religion of the Earth, McKenna, is very likely to attack Reyes. Jackson, who was severely injured by Reyes, is his subordinate!"
After hearing that a level-3 sorcerer would attack Reyes, Isabella, who had just become an official sorcerer, couldn't help but be surprised. However, because of her identity, this wasn't the first time she had seen such a big scene. After a few seconds, she calmed down and continued to ask Adolf, "Master Adolf, do you know why Reyes attacked Jackson?"
"I'm not too sure about the specifics, but there is news that Reyes is very close to the nobles of the Kaman Empire. They have a very serious conflict with the Religion of the Earth, which McKenna represents, over the issue of the successor of the Kaman Empire's royal family. We all know that Reyes is someone who plans before acting. Since he attacked Jackson and beat him to such a state, it means that he has already made up his mind. He has already thought about what to do next!" Adolf explained in a deep voice.
Isabella nodded inwardly and then said thoughtfully, "Master Adolf, if I remember correctly, when Reyes had just broken through to become a level-2 Magus, there was a level-3 Magus who tried to kill him, right?"
"Yes, that's right. At that time, Reyes had snatched a treasure from the Lighthouse of Darkness and was chased by that old geezer, Inmobile, for a few days. However, Reyes is still a character. Although he had just become a level-2 Magus, when faced with Inmobile's pursuit, he was severely injured and was in an incomparably miserable state. However, he still managed to shake off Inmobile's pursuit and successfully used his spiritual force attack to injure Inmobile!" At this point, Adolf's old eyes unconsciously revealed a hint of admiration as he narrated.
Isabella frowned slightly when she heard this. After thinking for a few seconds, she said with slight disappointment, "When Reyes had just become a level-2 Magus, he was already able to shake off the pursuit of a level-3 Magus. Now, after so many years of bitter training, his cultivation has long stood at the peak of level-2 Magus. He is only a step away from level-3 Magus. In that case, even if MacKenzie of the Religion of the Earth made a move against Reyes, doesn't that mean that he isn't much of a threat to Reyes?"
Sensing the disappointment in Isabella's words, a wry smile appeared on Adolf's old face. He shook his head and said to Isabella, "My dear Isabella, what you said is basically correct. In terms of strength, as one of the top powerhouses in the Religion of the Earth, MacKenzie's strength is definitely stronger than that old bastard Inmoblie of the Dark Lighthouse!"
"However, Reyes's strength is definitely not the same as it was a few decades ago. I seriously suspect that an ordinary level-3 Magus might not be a match for Reyes. Now that he's going up against MacKenzie, although Reyes is definitely not a match for him, I don't think his life will be in any danger."
"Isabella, you have to think this through. Reyes is a professor of our Secret Society. Based on what he has done in the organization, he is on par with the Lord. If he was so easy to deal with, why would the Lord tolerate him until now?" Adolf said with a wry smile.
After hearing Adolf's words, Isabella couldn't help but sigh. After a few seconds, she said to Adolf, "Master Adolf, what should we do next?"
"I'm sure His Lordship already has a plan for this matter. Since he wants us to keep a low profile, he must have his reasons. I think we should postpone all of our actions and hide carefully for a period of time, waiting for the moment when the situation becomes clear. Isabella, since you're not feeling well now, you can take this opportunity to recuperate for a period of time and adjust your body to its best condition!" Adolf, who was experienced and astute, quickly gave a suggestion to Isabella.
Isabella thought about Adolf's suggestion for a while, then nodded and said, "Master Adolf, we'll do as you say!"

A few days later, in the conference hall of the Ferguson Mansion that hadn't been used for several years, seven or eight elderly men were sitting upright in their seats with serious expressions. Each of these old men was a senior member of the Ferguson Family who held all kinds of power in the family.
Sitting in the first seat to the left of the main seat in the conference hall was Mr. Martinez, the head butler of the Ferguson family. Although he looked expressionless, the anger in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.
At this time yesterday, this group of senior members of the Ferguson Family had all received a letter from Jack Ferguson, the third brother of the deceased head of the family, Alfredo Ferguson.
