"Hmph!"
Cristante let out a dissatisfied snort when he heard that the mysterious person had said a lot, but in reality, he had not said anything at all. The gaze he used to look at the mysterious person became somewhat unfriendly.
The mysterious man was not surprised by the change in Cristante's attitude towards him. He continued in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Director, I would like to ask you to confirm something with me!"
Cristante seemed to have guessed what the mysterious man wanted to ask. His eyes twinkled as he replied, "Three days ago, when I left Bernabeu by train and came to Flosinone, Reyes had already fought with the level-three wizard of the Religion of the Earth, Mckenney. Reyes escaped with serious injuries, and Mckenney also suffered some minor injuries …"
After listening to Cristante's description, the mysterious man was shocked. After a long while, he praised, "Reyes, the Secret Society's Professor, truly lives up to his reputation. A rank 2 Magus not only managed to escape from a rank 3 Magus, but also managed to injure a rank 3 Magus. Reyes is truly a legend!"
Speaking of this, the mysterious man changed his tone and said to Cristante, "Since the gears of fate have begun to turn, Mr. Director, we can't just sit and wait for death as if nothing has happened. We have to act on our plan!"
"Connor Ferguson is Reyes's only student. We all know what kind of person Reyes is. He's not someone who would casually accept a student. There must be some unknown secret that he accepted Connor Ferguson as his student!"
And judging from Connor Ferguson's actions so far, his relationship with Reyes is definitely very subtle. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to contact his teacher's rival in the secret society, Wang Jue's faction. "
"I believe Blake's Organization must have planted spies in Wang Jue's faction. So, Mr. Director, did your spy tell you why Connor Ferguson was in contact with Wang Jue's faction?" After saying this, the mysterious man who was completely covered by a grey cloak raised his head and looked at Cristante expectantly.
"Connor Ferguson was afraid of his teacher Reyes, so he wanted to curry favor with Wang Jue's faction. However, this guy actually wanted to cooperate with Wang Jue's faction on an equal footing, so Wang Jue's faction looked down on him. As a result, Wang Jue's faction and Wang Jue's faction were not on good terms."
"But recently, because Connor had done things for Wang Jue's faction, and because the female Potion Master who was unswervingly loyal to Connor had become an official Magus, Wang Jue's faction also expressed some goodwill towards Connor. Therefore, the relationship between the two sides has eased, and it's not as tense as before. However, they haven't reached any specific agreement yet!" Cristante muttered to himself for a moment, and then passed on the information that his spy had reported to him to the mysterious man.
"Mr. Director, I met with Connor Ferguson two months ago. I told him a part of the plan. Although he didn't say anything, I could feel that he seemed to know something. However, at this time, he was only considering his own interests and waiting for the right price. Believe me, Connor Ferguson is definitely the key person for us to get rid of Reyes. Our plan needs him. With his help, this plan has a chance of succeeding!" The mysterious man in a grey cloak looked at Cristante's scrutinizing eyes and said with certainty.
After hearing the mysterious man's words, Cristante fell into deep thought. The mysterious man was also very patient and quietly waited for Cristante's final answer. He didn't urge him. Cristante didn't think for a long time. After thinking for only five minutes, he raised his head and looked at the mysterious man. He said in a deep voice, "Since you insist, I'll give you a chance. But if you fail, you should know the consequences!"
"If I fail, I'll naturally give you an explanation. But don't worry, Mr. Director, I'm very confident in my plan. I won't fail!" The mysterious man said with a confident smile.

… ….
Three days later, in the downtown of Flosinone, in the Rossi Opera House.
"I'm not rich enough to love you the way you want me to!"
"I'm not poor enough to be loved by you the way you want me to be!"
"My love, the pain you've caused me is the proof of your love for me!"
"Let's forget each other. You'll forget a name that's very cold to you, and I'll forget a kind of happiness that I can't afford to provide for …"
On the stage, a handsome actor was expressing his love to an actress. Hundreds of audience members were sitting around the stage. They seemed to be deeply attracted by the story and the actors' exquisite performances. However, with a closer look, one could see that the blonde girl sitting on the right side of the first row and the red-haired middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the seventh row were pretending to be watching the opera. In fact, their attention was elsewhere.
"Is it necessary to meet here?"
Connor, who was disguised as the red-haired middle-aged man, glanced at the audience around him and said to Marguerite, who was sitting in front of him through Voice-communication.
At this moment, Marguerite was also disguised as a blonde girl. She was concentrating on the opera "La Camellia" written by Emperor Lauer of the Kaman Empire. Judging from the tears in her eyes, she seemed to have put her attention into this sad but beautiful love story.
"Connor, do you know that it's very impolite to disturb a lady who is watching an opera?" Varga, who was watching the opera, took the opportunity to wipe his tears with a handkerchief and replied to Connor through Voice-communication.
Just when Connor was about to say something, Marguerite continued to explain to him through Voice-communication, "If I'm right and Cristante is really the intelligence director of the Blake Agency, we can't be too careful. In such a public place with so many audience members, Connor is the best cover for us!"
After explaining to Connor why they were meeting at the opera, Marguerite seemed to have thought of something and asked Connor, "Oh, Connor, haven't you already met Cristante? How do you feel about him?"
