After listening carefully to Marguerite's explanation, Connor nodded with a smile because he trusted Marguerite. "Marguerite, I trust your judgment. I plan to clean up my family during this period of time. Tell him to come to see me in a week."
Hearing Connor's words, Marguerite looked a little embarrassed. She sighed and said to Connor, "Connor, let me be honest with you. Lorenzo is a very close senior of mine. He was the superior of my senior in the Imperial Army, and he once did a lot of favors for my senior. Before my senior passed away, he especially told me to repay Lorenzo Pellegrini on his behalf if I had the chance."
"Lorenzo's current predicament is a normal business competition. His opponent is the Bartomeu Consortium, which has deep connections in the Empire. Therefore, even if I want to help him get out of this predicament, I can't. The only thing I can do is to help him find another way to survive!" "That's right," Lucien said.
"Lorenzo Pellegrini is impeccable in both ability and character, but he's not perfect either. His biggest shortcoming is that he's a little arrogant, and doesn't like to ask for help."
Marguerite stopped talking, but Connor understood what she wanted to say. He waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's fine, Marguerite. Since he doesn't want to come, I'll arrange for someone to come. It doesn't matter if he comes."
Hearing Connor's words, Marguerite couldn't help but ask, "Connor, can you go and see him in person?"
Marguerite's words surprised Connor. Is Lorenzo Pellegrini so arrogant? Not only does he want to ask him to come out, but he also wants to invite him in person?
If it was someone else, Connor wouldn't even bother to talk to him. However, it was Marguerite who asked for his help. For Marguerite's sake, Connor hesitated for a while, but eventually nodded reluctantly. He signaled Marguerite to accept her request.
Seeing that Connor agreed, a touch of joy appeared on Marguerite's beautiful face. She kissed Connor's cheek gently as a reward for Connor. Then she began to remind Connor, "Connor, Lorenzo is now living in the Kefte Manor outside of Flosinone City. He's a noble, so don't forget that when you go and invite him!"
"Don't worry! Since I've promised you, I won't let you down! " Connor said in a deep voice. From Marguerite's repeated reminders, it could be seen that Lorenzo Pellegrini was very important to Marguerite. Therefore, Connor would treat him with caution.
After getting a positive answer from Connor, Marguerite nodded with relief. After thinking for a few seconds, she set up a ward in the room, covering both herself and Connor. Then she began to whisper in Connor's ear.
In the ward, listening to Marguerite's words, Connor's calm expression instantly became unusually serious and doubtful.
… ….
… ….
A few days later, in the city of Flosinone, in the study of the Ferguson Residence in the community of Hoffenheim, Averroa was reporting to Connor.
"Reporting to Young Master Connor, according to your instructions, there are a total of nine targets in the first stage. I've already thought of a way to deal with them. For example, Lautaro Ferguson has a mistress outside, but this mistress has a husband, so I plan to disguise Lautaro's death as a crime of passion and shift the blame to the mistress's husband. Then I'll make the mistress's husband commit suicide to escape punishment."
"There's also Besino. He's not a lecher, but he's very fond of alcohol. He often likes to drink with his friends at a tavern called Tiago, so I plan to put something in his wine to make it look like his death was caused by alcohol poisoning …" Averroa introduced the person who caused the "accident" to Connor. In the end, he said to Connor excitedly, "As long as Young Master Connor gives the order, I can do it at any time. I estimate that it will only take a month to get rid of these family parasites without anyone knowing!"
After listening to Averroa's report, Connor nodded slightly, then said calmly, "Averroa, you've done a good job, but this matter needs to wait a little longer!"
"Yes, Young Master!" Averroa replied respectfully.
As if thinking of something, Connor looked deeply at Averroa. He didn't say anything, but just looked at Averroa. Under Connor's gaze, Averroa seemed to have thought of something too, but he didn't dare to look into Connor's eyes because of his guilty conscience.
This tense and strange atmosphere lasted for a few seconds. Finally, Averroa couldn't bear the pressure that Connor exerted on him. With a plop, he knelt down in front of Connor and cried bitterly, "Young Master Connor, I'm sorry. I failed to live up to your trust in me. I didn't follow your orders to kill Jack Ferguson and Eugenia's three children. I fed them absent-mindedness medicine, so they won't remember what happened before. The three of them won't pose any threat to you …"
Seeing Averroa confess to him, Connor nodded. He knew that this guy wasn't completely hopeless. Because of the restriction placed in Averroa's Spiritual Ocean, Connor could know everything that Averroa did as long as he was willing. This also meant that Averroa had no secrets from Connor.
If it wasn't for the fact that Averoya was one of the few people in the Ferguson Family with some ability and talent, Connor wouldn't have given him the chance to live. He would've killed him with a wave of his hand. However, if this guy had opened his mouth a few seconds later, Connor wouldn't have been able to seize the opportunity. He would've had no choice but to give him up and send him on his way!
"I don't like people playing tricks behind my back, but since you've worked hard for me all this time, Averroa, I'll give you a chance to choose. You either hand over the three children in three days, or you say goodbye to your family!" Connor looked at Averroa and said calmly.
