Wizard Earl

Chapter 224 Secret Meeting!

Seeing that Varga was so heartless, not giving him any chance at all, Ceballos's disappointment grew deeper and deeper. He shook his head at Varga without saying a word, then turned and left.

Watching Ceballos's somewhat desolate figure, Varga's pretty face showed no pity. Instead, a hint of murderous intent flickered in her bright, clear eyes... After a moment's thought, she took out a piece of paper from her spatial ring and began to write carefully on it.

If Connor were here and saw this scene, he would be very surprised, because the paper that Vargana was holding was the very same communication paper created by his mentor Reyes.

After finishing writing, Varga watched as the white light appeared on the communication paper, sighed slightly, put on her Eusebio mask, and walked out of Gulsi Private Hospital.

Riding in a public carriage, Varga arrived at a shop called "Alice Cafe" in the northern district of Rune. She walked into the most secluded private room in the cafe, where an elderly man with a slightly hunched back was waiting for her.

"Would you like something to drink?" The old man asked Varga, who was rushing over, and handed her a list of drinks.

"Butler Victor, I didn't come here for coffee!" Looking at the seemingly calm old man opposite her, Varga took a deep breath and said solemnly. The hunched old man she called Butler Victor was none other than Victor, the butler of Reyes, the number two figure in the Secret Society, and Connor's mentor!

Hearing Varga's words, a faint smile appeared on Victor's aged face. He didn't insist, but tapped his fingers lightly on the drink menu on the coffee table and said casually, "I'd like a mocha, warm."

As soon as old Victor finished speaking, five seconds later, a thin crack appeared on the smooth surface of the coffee table between him and Varga. A delicate porcelain cup filled with rich coffee rose from the bottom up onto the table. Then the crack slowly closed and the table returned to its smooth state.

"Butler Victor, your coffee is ready. I sincerely hope you enjoy it!" A woman's sweet voice rang out from the private room.

Holding the porcelain cup in both hands, inhaling the aroma of the coffee, old Victor slowly took a sip. A look of enjoyment immediately appeared on his aged face. After a long while, he looked at Varga, who was now somewhat dissatisfied, and said, "Varga, why are you in such a hurry, even going so far as to use a communication paper to summon me? Is there a problem with the purification of that substance?"

Upon hearing old Victor ask about "that thing," Varga's expression immediately turned serious, and she solemnly replied, "That thing is currently undergoing purification at the hospital. The first batch has been purified and placed in the safe house, and so far there are no problems!"

"Since that thing is fine, then you're here for Connor's sake?" Hearing that the thing was alright, old Victor nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject and asked directly:

"That's right! I came here for Connor. You said Connor's identity is extremely secretive, and very few people in the entire Secret Society know about him. So why does Dr. Gulsi know?" Varga questioned him directly without any hesitation.

"Gulsi knows Connor's identity? If I remember correctly, Connor only saw Gulsi once, when he took you to the hospital!" Hearing Varga's words, a cold glint flashed in old Victor's aged eyes as he spoke:

"That's right! But just now Ceballos mentioned Connor to me!" Varga said in a deep voice. She knew what her words would bring to her teacher, but for Connor's safety, she did not regret doing so.

Old Victor gave Varga a deep look and said seriously, "I understand about this matter and I will handle it!"

Having received an affirmative answer from old Victor, Varga nodded slightly and was about to get up and leave the private room. However, before she had taken more than a few steps, old Victor stopped her from leaving.

"Valga, wait a moment, I have some things I'd like to ask you about!" Old Victor said calmly, taking another sip of coffee.

"What do you want to know?" Varga asked, somewhat puzzled, as she sat back down in her seat.

"How much of Gulsi's potion-making method have you learned, Varga?" Old Victor asked, seemingly casually.

Although Old Victor's question seemed casual, it startled Varga. She hesitated for a moment before saying, "Apart from the key potion that Professor Gulsi possessed, I can now concoct all the other potions."

Hearing Varga's results, old Victor's eyes showed a hint of admiration as he looked at her. He finished the remaining coffee in his porcelain cup and said leisurely, "Varga, I've always had a question in my mind. That time the professor sent you and Connor to the safe house, a batch of those things had just been moved out of that safe house before you went there. Did Connor notice anything unusual?"

If the previous question only startled Varga, then this question was like a thunderclap in her heart!

Recalling Connor's actions in the safe house that day, Varga forced herself to calm down and said, word by word, "That stuff is so highly contaminated, did you even do any cleanup work in the safe house? Connor isn't stupid, how could he not have noticed anything unusual? But unusual as it may be, he didn't actually find that thing!"

After Varga finished speaking, old Victor gazed at her quietly for a long time before saying, "Varga, the professor is very satisfied with your work. Please don't let him down. As long as you can replace Gulsi, the professor will fulfill his promise to you!"

"Understood!" Hearing old Victor's words, Varga knew that she had temporarily passed this test, and she felt much more relieved!

"Alright, you can go now. Remember to be careful; Gulsi is a very shrewd woman!" Old Victor gave Varga his final advice.

After leaving Alice's cottage, Varga wrapped her petite body tightly in her clothes and, instead of immediately returning to Gursi Hospital, went to Land Street in the East District of Rune.

Standing on the street, Varga gazed into the distance at 16 Land Street, Connor's apartment. Her expression was incredibly complex. She desperately wanted to tell him everything, but reason told her she absolutely couldn't...
