Wizard Earl

Chapter 440 Do you regret it?

The hatred and resentment in Varga's eyes made Connor wonder how Gulsi and her son had offended her. Was Varga's hatred for Gulsi and Ceballos simply because Dr. Gulsi discovered that Varga was investigating the effects of the Spirit Spring Potion on her own and threatened to report her to the Secret Society if she didn't marry Ceballos?

Seemingly noticing Connor's confusion, Varga spoke up before Connor could speak:

"Although Professor Gulsi is only a senior wizarding apprentice, she can already concoct some potions needed by formal wizards. Therefore, before I appeared, Gulsi's role in teaching their faction was almost irreplaceable. So even if they knew about Gulsi's collusion with the Duke's faction, they could only do nothing about it. In addition, Gulsi acted very discreetly, not revealing any secrets about the professors' faction to the Duke's faction. So the professors' faction turned a blind eye and pretended not to know."

"Regarding my desire to kill Dr. Gulsi, the Secret Society's attitude is that if I can take on the task they assigned to Gulsi, then they can tacitly allow me to kill Gulsi. They don't want to help, and it has nothing to do with them. The reason I must kill Gulsi and Ceballos is because Ceballos has always wanted me to be with Ceballos. Once, she even drugged me, and if I hadn't been careful, I would have really fallen for it..." As she said this, the hatred in Varga's eyes intensified again, and she gave Connor a resentful glare before she finished speaking.

"Gulsi is right, I was the one who injured Ceballos. I wanted revenge. After Gulsi found out I was responsible, he wanted Ceballos and me to heal together, which I naturally refused. Besides, at that time, Connor, you successfully broke through to become a high-level wizard apprentice. Together, we could easily kill Gulsi. Also, my potion-making skills have improved rapidly, and I can barely take on the tasks assigned by the secret society from Gulsi. So, the conditions for killing Gulsi were completely ripe. That's the reason why I wanted to kill Gulsi. To be honest, I never even considered Gulsi's talk of seeking power!" Varga said very frankly.

"Why didn't you tell me everything in the first place?" After a moment of contemplation, Connor looked at Varga with a complicated expression and asked.

"Because I knew that if I told you, given your personality, Connor, you would definitely have many questions, and those were questions that I would have had a hard time answering for you at the time..." Varga sighed, her voice tinged with bitterness.

Upon hearing Varga's answer, Connor also wore a wry smile. He had to admit that Varga was indeed his bedmate; she had completely figured out his personality. Now, after listening to Varga's account, he had many questions in his mind.

"Varga, you said your relationship with the Secret Society is one of mutual exploitation. So, you concoct potions for the Secret Society, assist them in their experiments, and monitor Gulsi. What does the Secret Society give you in return?" After a moment's thought, Connor asked Varga his second question.

Varga sighed again. She knew Connor would ask this question. After carefully choosing her words, she said, "I won't talk about advanced meditation techniques or cultivation resources. I'll just tell you what Connor wants to know. Connor, do you remember how I joined the Secret Society?"

Upon hearing Varga's answer, Connor already knew the answer. To be honest, it was pretty much what he had thought. Based on his understanding of Varga, this was probably the only thing that would make her choose to hide it from him.

"How many more people are left to kill?" Connor asked after a moment's thought. His eyes were full of pity as he looked at Varga. He would never forget Varga, who had cried all her tears in his apartment that day.

"Three days ago, I helped the Secret Society complete its last experiment, and the Secret Society captured the last person who came to capture my grandmother. I killed him with my own hands!" As she said this, a faint smile appeared on Varga's face, but this faint smile made Connor feel a chill down his spine.

If Connor remembers correctly, there were at least a dozen wizards who came to capture Varga's grandmother back then. Judging from what Varga said, did the secret society capture them all and then Varga killed them herself?

"There are eleven of them in total. Every time I complete an experiment for the secret society and concoct a new potion, the secret society will capture one of them for me, and I will kill them with my own hands to avenge my grandmother! Connor, although I really don't want to tell you, and I really want to keep the original me in your heart, the me who was still at Green University, but at this moment I think I have to be honest with you about the real me. My hands are already stained with blood, and every day I dream of countless dead souls appearing in my dreams." Just as Connor's eyes narrowed and he fell into deep thought, Varga had already frankly admitted what Connor was thinking.

Looking at Varga, who was completely at ease in front of him, Connor's eyes were filled with complex emotions. Although he had thought that such a day might come when he brought Varga into the Secret Society, he ultimately hoped that this day would never come, and that Varga would always be the Varga he had first met... But now, the cold reality told Connor that his hope had been shattered!

"What, are you regretting bringing me into the Secret Society?" Looking at the expression in Connor's eyes, Varga smiled slightly and said:

Connor chuckled self-deprecatingly and shook his head, saying, "Joining the Secret Society was your own choice. I merely offered you that choice. I just regret that I was too weak back then. If I had the strength I have now, your grandmother wouldn't have died. I still remember her; she even saved my life. If she hadn't removed that anti-magic bullet and stitched up my wounds, I would be long gone, and there wouldn't be a Connor Ferguson today!"

"Connor..." Varga murmured softly upon hearing Connor's reply, her beautiful eyes filled with emotion.

Connor smiled and opened his arms to Varga. Without the slightest hesitation, Varga immediately embraced Connor, just as she had always done. The two reconciled, and their past suspicions were put to rest.

After their passionate encounter, leaning against Connor's firm chest, Varga whispered, "Connor, let's run!"
