"It's no coincidence that this woman is involved with Mr. Enrique!" Looking at Margaret, who was staring at him warily, Connor's lips curled into a playful smile as he pointed to the woman's head on the ground.

"What do you mean, Connor?" Margaret glanced at the woman's head that she had severed with her wind blade on the ground, then stared intently at Connor.

"My point is simple. Margaret, you've only told me part of what Mr. Enrique is about. If I'm not mistaken, this Mr. Enrique before us is just a herbalist on the surface, and his true identity is a front man for the Sassuolo Brotherhood..." Connor smiled as he spoke, pausing slightly to glance at Margaret's arm, which was discreetly extended behind her back, before continuing:

"As for why you suddenly contacted me and offered such a generous price to help you capture this Mr. Enrique alive, it must be because, besides the blood urchin, there's some information about Mr. Enrique that interests you greatly, Margaret, right?"

"Margaret, if I were you, I wouldn't be foolish enough to fight me right now!" After saying that, Connor smiled and took out the little gift Margaret had given him before the fight—a replica of the Boundary Bead—from his spatial ring, threw it on the floor, and then cast a fireball spell on it. The replica of the Boundary Bead immediately exploded, and a small blood-red worm inside the bead rolled back and forth in pain in the flames, but it was turned to ashes in less than a second.

Having witnessed Connor's words and actions, Margaret sneered and said coldly to Connor, "Connor Ferguson, I truly underestimated you!"

"No, no, no! You're not underestimating me, you're overestimating yourself..." Connor still wore a polite smile. "Now that I know you, Margaret, practice blood witchcraft, how could I not do my homework? Your blood worm is a unique secret technique of blood witchcraft, how could I dare to be careless?"

"And don't forget I'm an alchemist! No! To be precise, I'm just an alchemy apprentice right now, but that doesn't affect my ability to appraise items at all. This replica of the Boundary Bead is only a level one enchanted item and can only be used once, but because of its spatial properties, its value is no less than the mithril you gave me the second time!"

"Margaret, with your personality, you've given me such an expensive gift for nothing. Of course, I'm flattered!" Connor said with a hint of sarcasm. After speaking, Connor glanced mockingly at the ring that Margaret had somehow put in her hand.

Seeing that Connor had caught her little tricks twice in a row, Margaret snorted coldly, glared at Connor fiercely, and said, "Tell me, Connor, what exactly are you up to!"

Without picking up where Margaret left off, Connor said calmly, "Besides us, there's another group of people also eyeing Mr. Enrique, the Sassuolo Brotherhood's front man."

"What? Someone else is targeting Enrique?" Margaret said incredulously. She hesitated for a moment, then looked at Connor seriously and said, "Connor Ferguson, what evidence do you have to prove your point?"

"Evidence? What better evidence is there than that you're still alive? Believe me, if it weren't for someone else showing up, Margaret, you'd be a stinking corpse lying on the floor by now. I hate being schemed against more than anything in my life!" Connor suddenly wiped the smile off his face, staring menacingly at Margaret standing opposite him.

"You..." Hearing Connor's murderous words, Margaret was no pushover either. Her expression immediately changed, and a blood-red light flashed around her, making it clear she was ready to fight at the slightest provocation. However, after a moment, Margaret took a deep breath, and the blood-red light slowly dissipated. Staring at Connor, she forced out two words in a conciliatory tone, "Sorry!"

Ignoring Margaret's apology, Connor pointed to his watch and said in a deep voice, "Begin the interrogation. The Boundary Bead's effect lasts for six minutes..."

Six minutes later, Connor and Margaret, their faces grim, exchanged a glance from room 337, nodded slightly to each other, and then went back to their own rooms.

"Damn it..." Back in his room, Connor couldn't control his emotions and muttered angrily under his breath:

Margaret's six-minute interrogation allowed Connor to deduce the cause and effect of the matter.

First, it can be confirmed that the Divine Eye System does exist, and its functions and effects are largely the same as Margaret described. Furthermore, the specially crafted enchanted item badge that Margaret gave Connor, which was supposedly able to shield him from the Divine Eye System's surveillance, also has a real effect; Margaret was not lying about this.

Margaret used the Divine Eye system to discover that Enrique was a front man for the Sassuolo Brotherhood, a dark wizarding organization active in the New World. Enrique's job as a front man was to use his identity as a herbalist to sell stolen goods for the Sassuolo Brotherhood and provide funds for the organization.

Enrique's purpose in coming to Rune was to help the Sassuolo Brotherhood dispose of this batch of Blood Urchins from the New World. However, for some reason, the original buyer of the Blood Urchins did not dare to come to Rune at this time, so the transaction was canceled, and the Blood Urchins remained in Enrique's hands.

Originally, Margaret should have reported Enrique's matter to the Church of Storms, but she did not do so. The reason was that Margaret's blood witchcraft required this batch of blood urchins, so Margaret planned to kill Enrique and consume the blood urchins. This was her original plan!

As for why she wanted to find Connor and capture Enrique alive, it was because Margaret had learned of some information through a certain channel. In order to ensure the accuracy of the information and to obtain more detailed information, Margaret placed her hopes on Enrique.

As for how Connor knew that Enrique was a member of the Sassuolo Brotherhood, it was entirely by accident. Connor practiced Abyssal Arcane Arts, which focused on dark and mental attributes, and one of the spells in Abyssal Arcane Arts was called Soul Drain...

My computer was just fixed, so I'm writing this a little late.

Don't worry, everyone, I'll still do 4000 every day next month to ensure perfect attendance.
