Chapter 223 Connor's Plans!

"I can modify the magic stone bomb in three days. Scarface said he'll need a week to catch them, so I only have four days left. Four days is more than enough for me to get everything sorted out. Don't worry, I've already decided on the location to disguise the magic stone mine. It's in the southern suburbs of Tunguska City, where there's a black tungsten mine. Black tungsten is a byproduct of magic stone mining. Once we get there, we just need to place the magic stone bombs I made, and Scarface will definitely not notice!" A ruthless glint flashed in Connor's eyes.

"It's good that you have a plan. I also need to prepare in the next few days!" Margaret glanced at Connor and said quietly.

"No problem, I'll handle all of this myself. Once the magic stone bomb explodes, the two of us can take down that scarred man. He must be quite wealthy; there must be a lot of good stuff in his spatial ring!" Connor said, still trying to tempt Margaret and solidify her resolve to take down the scarred man with him.

However, Margaret seemed to have seen through Connor's thoughts. She gave Connor a deep look, then turned around and went back to her room without saying a word.

Smelling the lingering fragrance left by Margaret, Connor, alone, had a look in his eyes that was a mixture of calm and madness. Connor Ferguson had paid such a high price for the magic stone mine, how could he give up mining it and start planning again just because of a scarred man?

That scarred guy has to die! Only if he dies can I create the alchemical golem and safely mine the magic stone!

Squinting, Connor felt a surge of excitement as he thought of the day Scarface spent six thousand pounds to buy Odin's Blood Tiger at the Meazza Club. Connor had thought that he and Odin's Blood Tiger were destined to be separated, but now he was unexpectedly involved with it again. It was truly a twist of fate!

Once Scarface is defeated, Odin's Blood Tiger will naturally belong to me!

Judging from the effortless way he pulled out six thousand gold pounds to buy Odin's Blood Tiger, Scarface must be incredibly wealthy. His spatial ring must contain many valuable items, and there's also his level-two enchanted item, the Silver Cross Sword. I've already witnessed its power; it's an absolute treasure. Once Scarface dies, all of these items will become part of my collection!

The most important reason why Connor insisted on taking down Scarface, even at the cost of giving Margaret 40% of the magic stone mine's output, was that even if they failed, the risk of him and Margaret dying was very small. Judging from the initial fierce battle, although Scarface was very strong, he could easily defeat both of them in a one-on-two fight under normal circumstances. However, if Connor and Margaret separated to escape, it would be difficult for him to kill them both at the same time.

Even in the worst-case scenario—if Scarface discovers his plan, and he and Margaret separate to escape, with Scarface choosing to hunt him down—Connor is confident that the potion Varga gave him, combined with his black magic robe, will allow him to completely evade Scarface's pursuit. Connor believes that besides the fact that he offered Margaret 40% of the magic stone mine as a incentive, she shares the same goal as him!

Connor was starting to realize that he couldn't quite understand his collaborator, Margaret. He had a persistent question: Elena, the youngest cardinal in the history of the Storm Church, trusted Margaret so much that she entrusted all her relationships in Rune, an important commercial hub on the west coast of the empire, to her. Did Elena know that Margaret was practicing the forbidden art of blood witchcraft?

Or perhaps Margaret's blood witchcraft is...?

Rune, Dr. Gulsi's Private Hospital!

"Congratulations, Ceballos, you can now independently refine energy potions!" Varga congratulated the handsome man in front of her who was showing her his finished potion with a bright smile. Although she said it was to congratulate him, her tone was very flat and without any joy, as if the other party was a stranger and not her teacher's only son.

Sensing Varga's cold attitude, the blond heartthrob Ceballos's bright smile froze. He lowered his head in thought for a moment before looking up at Varga and asking seriously, "Varga, do you really hate me?"

Varga didn't seem surprised by Ceballos' question. She gently shook her head and said, "Ceballos, I don't dislike you. You're a good person, but you should know I already have someone I like. You'll find someone more suitable for you in the future!"

Upon hearing that he had been given the "friend zone" treatment, Ceballos's handsome face showed a wry smile. He stared into Varga's beautiful eyes and said, "I never thought that one day I would lose to a dissolute nobleman!"

Upon hearing the words "noble young master," Varga's expression suddenly turned serious, and a cold glint appeared in her beautiful eyes. She said coldly, "Who told you that?"

Seeing the coldness in Varga's beautiful eyes, Ceballos's bitterness deepened. He didn't answer Varga's question, but instead said softly, "Varga, do you know? At first, I was very resistant to pursuing you, but my mother insisted that I do it. She told me you were a top genius in pharmacology, and that being with you would be of immense benefit to my future. I admit that when I first pursued you, I had very strong ulterior motives! I believe you understand this even without me saying it!"

"But I must tell you, when I truly came into contact with you, I found myself hopelessly in love with you. I swear to my inner demons, every smile and gesture of yours bewitches me, even though you've only smiled at me a few times..." Ceballos said tenderly, touching his heart.

"Ceballos, I'm telling you this again, and this is the last time, I have someone I like. Don't waste your time!" Although Ceballos was willing to use a powerful oath to prove his love for her, Varga's attitude became even colder. Her tone was devoid of any emotion, and her words were no longer as gentle as before!
