Chapter 105 The Uninvited Guest (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe!!)

"Professor, the number two?" Connor was stunned when he heard Varga's words. If he remembered correctly, both old Victor and Bispin called Reyes "Professor". In addition, Connor had already determined that Reyes was a high-ranking member of the Secret Society. So Reyes was second only to the leader in the Secret Society?

"Connor, what's wrong?" Varga stretched out her fair hand and waved it in front of Connor's eyes, asking with great confusion:

"Valga, show me this replica of the Eusébio mask and your spatial ring!" Although he felt that his guess was pretty much right, Connor still needed solid evidence to prove it.

Although Connor did not tell Varga what he needed the Eusébio Mask and the spatial ring for, Varga did not ask any questions and obediently handed the two items to Connor.

"This replica of the Eusébio mask is a level two enchanted item. I think it's a very good replica compared to the original Eusébio mask. It can even change appearance, body shape, and aura. You saw it at the station today, and you didn't recognize me even though we were so close!" Varga introduced with satisfaction, pointing to the replica of the Eusébio mask in Connor's hand. However, she changed her tone and said with some regret, "But the only drawback is that this replica can't change the user's mana fluctuations like the legendary original. I'll be exposed whenever I fight someone."

Connor, who had already examined the replica of Varga's Eusebio mask, nodded slightly and picked up another spatial ring. He had already found some evidence from the replica, but he still needed the spatial ring to corroborate it.

After carefully examining the replica of the Eusébio mask and the spatial ring, Connor took a deep breath and returned both items to Varga. A hint of hesitation flashed across his face, as if he was wondering whether to tell Varga his suspicions.

After careful consideration, Connor decided to tell Varga his suspicions. He took a deep breath and said very solemnly, "Just like apothecaries concoct potions, alchemists will always leave some personal traces in the process of concocting enchanted items, such as their techniques. The concoction techniques of the spatial ring and the replica of the Eusébio mask that you have are inherited from mine. If I'm not mistaken, these two items were made by my mentor."

"Valga, there's something I think I should tell you. My mentor is a formal wizard in the Secret Society, where he's known as the Professor. It was also his decision to recruit you into the Secret Society. However, my mentor has never told me much about the Secret Society. Although I guessed that my mentor might be a high-ranking member of the Secret Society, I only just learned from you, Varga, that he's the number two person in the Secret Society."

Hearing Connor's words, Varga was somewhat taken aback, but she quickly smiled, pretended to lift her skirt, gave Connor a slight bow, and said with a grin, "I didn't expect you to be a future high-ranking member of the Secret Society, Connor. This weak woman like me will have to rely on Connor's guidance in the future!"

"Valga, please stop teasing me. I really don't know if joining the Secret Society was the right or wrong decision!" Connor shook his head and said with a wry smile. Although he had learned about the Secret Society through various channels, the more he knew, the more he felt that he only knew the tip of the iceberg. How could something so powerful and meticulously planned for so long be ordinary? As a spectator, Connor had already deeply felt the Secret Society's blatant ambition!

For the rest of the time, Connor and Varga tacitly avoided mentioning the Secret Society, enjoying delicious desserts and chatting happily, savoring this rare moment of leisure and tranquility. Just as Connor hesitated about whether to do something, Varga glanced at her watch, pouted slightly, and said to Connor with a hint of helplessness, "Professor Gulsi will be back in an hour, I have to go back..."

Smiling, Connor patted Varga's head and said softly, "It's so nice to see you again!"

"Close your eyes quickly!" A blush crept across Varga's fair face as she urged Connor.

"Huh?" Connor was a little surprised that Varga made him close his eyes, but he obediently closed them anyway.

The next second, Connor felt something soft and smooth press against his lips, but when Connor opened his eyes in surprise, Varga had already run far away like a startled little rabbit.

Smiling as he watched Varga's petite figure disappear into the distance, Connor felt something stir within his cold heart. Perhaps he could really try to accept someone.

Back in his apartment in a good mood, Connor didn't continue the mithril decomposition experiment that was supposed to be completed that night. Instead, after absorbing the energy of a magic stone, he prepared to rest. However, just as Connor finished washing up and was about to return to bed, intending to enjoy a luxurious night's sleep, his mental energy sensed an unwelcome guest climbing over from the back garden of Connor's apartment.

"FUCK!!!" Connor cursed fiercely, then got out of bed. Was that woman going through early menopause? Why did she have to come now of all times?

After putting on a coat, Connor hurried to the apartment living room. At that moment, the uninvited guest walked to Connor's liquor cabinet as if no one else was there, carefully selected a bottle of "Gin Hearts," poured it into a glass, and slowly swirled it to let it breathe.

"Margaret, what brings you here?" Connor asked, frowning and with an extremely unfriendly tone, looking at Margaret who had come so late at night.

"Consider this bottle of Heart of Gin as compensation for not drinking Source of Nature last time!" As Heart of Gin slowly awakened to its optimal state, Margaret took a small sip, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Connor, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "The weather outside is about to change, and you still have the leisure to sleep in your pajamas here?"

Margaret's words startled Connor, but on the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Emperor Raul once said something profound: 'When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up.' Doesn't Rune still have your Storm Church and the Imperial Police Department's Special Operations Team?"
