Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After learning about the secret of the family leader's secret passage from Alfredo's sickbed, Martinez was surprised that the secret passage was hidden in such a smelly, dirty and messy place like the toilet of a garbage dump, but he had to admire the wisdom of the ancestors of the Ferguson family. No one would have thought that the secret passage would be hidden in such a place.
While thinking about the secret of the family master's secret passage, Martinez was also deeply moved by Alfredo's trust in him. He solemnly promised Alfredo that he would keep the secret of the secret passage and pass it on to Conor Ferguson, the next family master. At that time, Martinez had never thought that he would encounter such trouble more than a year later. He actually had to use the secret passage to escape from Ferguson's manor and avoid being hunted down by the men in black!
Thinking of this, Martinez sighed. However, there was nothing he could do. The Ferguson Family Manor was occupied by the men in black who were recruited by Domenech. The best way to escape from the manor and get back to Flosinone was to ask for help.
All the entrances and exits of the manor were controlled by the men in black. Even if he disguised himself as an old servant, it was impossible for him to escape. Domenech also knew the location of the secret passage. Therefore, if Butler Martinez wanted to leave the manor, he had to go through the secret passage of the Patriarch of the Manor.
After taking a deep breath, Martinez ended his brief contemplation and turned his attention back to the iron gate. Although he didn't have the right to use this secret passage according to the family rules, he believed that even the ancestors of the Ferguson family would support his decision if they knew about what had happened today!
While thinking about the method of opening the door that Alfredo had taught him, Martinez tapped his palm rhythmically on the big iron door. Although there was a keyhole in the middle of the big iron door, it seemed that a key was needed to open the iron door.
However, that wasn't the case. The keyhole on the door was a trap and couldn't open the door. The only way to open the door was to use the Ferguson family's method of opening the door, which had been passed down for generations. If someone took a key and put it in the keyhole and tried to open the door, not only would it cause the door to be locked, it would also trigger the mechanism on the door. The door would release a fatal poison gas, poisoning the enemy to death in the toilet.
Just when Martinez was about to knock on the iron gate with the method of opening the gate, there was a sudden movement outside the garbage dump. The five men in black had found this place by chance.
Martinez's ears twitched slightly. He heard the sound of the men in black searching outside. He stopped what he was doing, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed through his eyes. He could continue to use the method of opening the gate and leave this place safely and safely through the secret passage back to Flosinone to ask for help. If he did that, the five men in black wouldn't be a threat to him at all.
However, the secret passage, which was the biggest secret of the Ferguson Family Manor, would be exposed to the men in black. Therefore, for the sake of the family's interests, and to fulfill the oath that he had made to Alfredo in front of his sickbed that he would guard the secret passage, Martinez made up his mind. He would stop his plan to leave this place and kill the five men in black before leaving through the secret passage. After he made sure that no one found out about the secret passage, he would leave this place and return to Flosinone to ask for help.
After making up his mind, Butler Martinez quietly took out the black cane that had turned into a short stick that he had hidden on his body and restored it to its original size. He then hid in the dark of the garbage station, preparing to launch a sneak attack on the five men in black who had entered the garbage station to search.
However, what everyone, including Martinez and the men in black, didn't expect was that on the top floor of the family library of the Ferguson Family Manor, Connor was holding a pair of binoculars and quietly observing everything that was happening in the manor. Behind him, the General Manager of the Ferguson Mineral Distribution Company, an intermediate wizard apprentice, was standing there respectfully, waiting for Connor to demolish the building.
Through the binoculars, Martinez, who was supposed to leave through the secret passage of the garbage dump, turned back with his cane in hand, planning to ambush the five men in black in the garbage dump. Connor couldn't help but frown. Martinez didn't have the power of mind, so he couldn't see the strength of the five men in black, but Connor could see it clearly.
Among the 5 men in black, the leader was an official knight. Although the other 4 had not reached the level of official knights, they were all apprentice knights. What was more important was that they were all hiding guns under their black clothes, including rifles and revolvers.
After observing the situation, Connor began to think. Although Martinez was a grand knight and had the help of the black cane, he was still almost a hundred years old. Even though his body was still in good condition, he wasn't a young man. Although he didn't know why he gave up on leaving through the secret passage, based on the current situation, he might be able to kill one or two of the men in black, but he definitely couldn't kill all five of them!
If he couldn't get rid of the five men in black in a short time, they would have a chance to call for their companions. When that time came, the men in black would swarm over and Butler Martinez would be in danger!
Ever since he got the information from Marguerite and learned about Domenech and Jack Ferguson's plan, Connor had been secretly hiding in the Ferguson Manor, waiting for them to make their move.
Since he knew from Marguerite that he had been targeted by the Church of the Storm, the Religion of the Earth, and the light wizards of the ninth department, Connor didn't plan to directly get involved in the internal conflict of the Ferguson Family.
As for Connor's only follower, Averroa, although he was only an intermediate wizard apprentice and wasn't particularly noticed by the light wizards, he was still a supernatural being. If he got involved in the internal conflict of the Ferguson Family, it would be fine if he wasn't discovered. Once he was discovered, it would be troublesome. Therefore, unless it was absolutely necessary, Connor didn't plan to let him get involved in the affairs of the Ferguson Family.
