Eugenia didn't pay attention to her angry husband. Instead, she turned her eyes to the outside of the study. In that direction, a series of footsteps sounded. The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Finally, after a few seconds, a person in a black robe pushed open the door and walked into the study, appearing in front of Eugenia and Jack Ferguson.
Seeing the mysterious man in the black robe, Eugenia's expression relaxed. She nodded to the mysterious man and left the room without asking Jack Ferguson. She left the study room to her husband and the mysterious man in the black robe alone.
"Who are you?" Looking at the mysterious black-robed man who had suddenly appeared, Jack Ferguson, who was sitting on the sofa, also became alert. As he spoke, his right hand quietly reached for his back, where there was a dagger. It was his weapon of self-defense.
The mysterious black-robed man turned a deaf ear to Jack Ferguson's question. He stood still and quietly observed Jack Ferguson. After a dozen seconds, Jack Ferguson's patience was exhausted. When he was about to draw the dagger from his back and attack, the mysterious black-robed man took off his hood and revealed his true face.
"Domenech, is that you?" Looking at the mysterious black-robed man in front of him and his incomparably familiar face, Jack Ferguson cried out in surprise.
That was right! The mysterious man in the black robe was the old man in military uniform who was sitting next to Butler Martinez in the family meeting the other day. He was Domenech Ferguson, a retired major general of the Imperial Army who fought his way to the top with his own strength.
Domenech didn't try to test Jack Ferguson, "Jack Ferguson, I heard what you said, but I took a big risk to come here. I want to ask you, do you still have any ambitions?"
Hearing Domenech's question, Jack Ferguson, who had already made up his mind to leave, changed his mind. He knew that Domenech was a retired major general of the Imperial Army, and he had a lot of connections in the Imperial Army. This was also the reason why Domenech could become one of the founding members of the Ferguson Family. The fact that Domenech came here when Jack Ferguson was in such a dire situation showed his attitude.
Seeing that Jack Ferguson was hesitating, Domenech didn't rush him to give an answer. Instead, he sat down on the sofa in the study and looked at Jack Ferguson quietly, waiting for his answer.
Jack Ferguson, who was deep in thought, seemed to have thought of something. A trace of doubt appeared in his eyes. Normally speaking, he had lost in the family power struggle. He had lost all his underwear in front of Butler Martinez. Next, he would be transferred to a government office like Ferguson High School. He would become the principal of the high school, an awkward position far away from the family's power center.
Normally, Domenech would be hated by everyone in the family. They were afraid that Butler Martinez would take revenge on him. However, Domenech snuck into his yard and asked him if he still had any ambitions. It was very strange no matter how he looked at it.
Realizing that, Jack Ferguson had a horrible idea. Could Domenech be sent here by Martinez, and Domenech's purpose was to trick him into starting a rebellion and provide an excuse for Martinez to kill him?
Thinking of that, Jack Ferguson shuddered in fear. However, he soon realized that he was thinking too much. Butler Martinez had served the Ferguson family for dozens of years, and he had always had a good reputation in the family. He was never regarded as a ruthless person who liked to kill people.
Domenech Ferguson, who was born in the military, was definitely not a good spy. If Bernardo was a businessman, it might be possible, but Domenech wouldn't do such a thing. Most importantly, if Martinez really wanted to kill him, all he needed to do was to reveal the documents in the file to the public in the Ferguson Family Elders' meeting. In that case, all the elders in the Ferguson Family would support him and ask him to commit suicide to protect the honor of the Ferguson Family. There was no need for him to send Domenech here.
Although Jack Ferguson had already expected that the file bag contained something that could be used against him during the family elders' meeting, he still broke out in a cold sweat when he opened the file bag and saw the information inside. If this information were to be exposed, even if he was a noble, he would still be hanged in public!
Therefore, Jack Ferguson was sure that Domenech didn't come here on his own accord, and he wasn't ordered by Butler Martinez. Jack Ferguson's heart started to move again after he figured this out.
After thinking for a few seconds, Jack Ferguson knew how to answer Domenech's question. He sighed and said to Domenech who was sitting on the sofa, "If there is another way, I wouldn't want to leave my hometown. You should be very clear about my current situation. I can't do anything on my own! "
Although Jack Ferguson didn't give a direct answer, Domenech still understood what he was trying to say. A cold smile appeared on Domenech's face as he said coldly, "There will be a group of people coming to Flosinone tomorrow. There will be 2 grand knights, 5 official knights, and some other people!"
Jack Ferguson's expression changed a lot after hearing Domenech's words. He was surprised at first, then excited. However, in the next second, he looked at Domenech with doubt. He asked again, "Domenech, your people will arrive tomorrow?"
