Wizard Earl

Chapter 264 Olson's Wizarding Talent

According to George, the story goes something like this: Although the last time they outmaneuvered each other and won a great victory, and Olson was grounded by Mr. Harvey, Olson could be said to pose no threat to George at all. However, as the saying goes, like attracts like, and Connor was able to become good friends with George largely because they had something in common: they were both quite cautious in their actions.

The same applied to Olson. Although Olson was confined and his personal freedom restricted, Mr. Harvey, with his wealth, naturally wanted to provide his illegitimate son with a comfortable life, free from want. The old man arranged for more than ten maids to serve Olson's daily needs. Facing the confinement of Olson, the cautious George spent a large sum of money to bribe one of the maids Mr. Harvey had placed by Olson's side.

This move led George to learn a shocking piece of information: as a wealthy young man, Olson's private life was extremely lewd. He had slept with almost all of the dozen or so maids that Mr. Havel had left to serve him. Among them, a few of the more attractive maids were kept by Olson to serve him personally. George had bribed one of these personal maids!

This personal maid, bribed by George, would report to him every week on what Olsen was doing. Everything seemed normal at first; confined to his villa and restricting his freedom, Olsen either vented his filthy desires on the maids serving him, or he took out his anger at being imprisoned on these poor maids…

The maids originally assigned to Olson's side were all chosen by Mr. Harvey, trained by the Sanchez family from childhood, and utterly loyal to him. The fact that such loyal women could be bribed by George to betray Olson against Mr. Harvey's wishes was largely because this particular maid could no longer bear Olson's insults. In George's retelling of one of the maids' words, Olson wasn't even a human being; he was a beast, pinching and biting...

George's promise to her was that once he inherited the position of head of the Sanchez family, he would rescue her from Olson and give her a large sum of money to start a new life for her. Therefore, George considered the words of this personal maid he had bribed to be highly credible, and he always trusted her information about Olson implicitly.

However, just when George, busy with the Sanchez family, was about to forget about Olson, this good-for-nothing who was living a life of debauchery, three days ago, the personal maid of Olson, who had been bribed by George, sent George a message again. This message was the one that George had just told Connor: Olson has wizarding talent!

According to the maid who was bribed by George, this information was said by Olson himself when he was venting his desires on her. Olson's exact words were as follows.

"George, you monstrous, hellish bastard, just you wait! I have the talent of a wizard! Once I become a wizard, I will make you pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold, for everything you're experiencing now!"

After carefully listening to George's explanation, Connor's "Conti" had fully awakened. He slowly took a sip, savoring the rich flavor, and then asked George, "So you're planning to kill Olson?"

Before Connor, George made no attempt to conceal his murderous intent. He nodded heavily, his handsome face contorted with rage, and said sinisterly, "Regardless of whether this guy has any wizarding talent or not, since he hates me so much, I have to kill him!"

Connor poured George another glass of "Conti," then raised his glass to clink with his before carefully choosing his words and saying, "Our Ferguson family records state that the probability of an ordinary person possessing wizarding talent is extremely small—approximately one in ten thousand might have the potential to become a wizard. And most importantly, determining whether someone possesses wizarding talent requires specialized equipment!"

Upon hearing Connor mention the words "recorded in the Ferguson family annals," George's face instantly became serious, and his eyes showed a hint of gratitude as he looked at Connor. He truly regarded the basic knowledge of the wizarding world that Connor had told him as the knowledge recorded in the Ferguson family annals.

Feeling the gratitude in George's eyes, Connor felt a little amused and exasperated, but he also understood why George was acting this way. George knew that Connor's Ferguson family was a hereditary noble family, and these hereditary nobles had accumulated many secrets that outsiders knew nothing about over the years. These secrets were something that the hereditary nobles would never tell outsiders. Connor was now using the pretext of family secrets to tell George this knowledge, which was already a considerable favor!

"Connor, what do you mean by that?" George was still puzzled as to why Connor would suddenly say this to him.

Seeing that George still hadn't reacted, Connor shook his head with a wry smile. It seemed he needed to be more explicit. After a light cough, Connor solemnly said, "I just said that to test whether someone has wizarding talent, you need specialized equipment. Haven't you thought about why Olson suddenly claimed to have wizarding talent?"

Connor's explanation was so clear that George's eyes lit up as he asked, "You mean Olson used that instrument you mentioned, which is specifically for detecting wizarding talent, to test it?"

Seeing that George had come to his senses, Connor gave him a pleased look, saying that he was a promising student. He continued, "I think there are only two possibilities for your current situation. The first possibility is that Olson is taking a risky tactic. He discovered that you bribed his personal maid and is using her to convey his resentment to you, provoking you to eliminate him completely!"

"Mr. Harvey must have arranged for someone to protect him. Once your men go and kill him, Mr. Harvey will know. He'll think that since he's already confined Olson, George, you're still turning against Olson even when there's a rift between brothers. When Mr. Harvey shows his paternal affection, Olson's current situation might change drastically!"

As George listened to Connor's analysis, his eyes grew brighter and brighter. Finally, before Connor could even mention a second possibility, he jumped up and cursed, "That son of a bitch Olsen is just too insidious..."
