Wizard Earl

Chapter 469 The First and Last Time

"That's right. There was a perfect opportunity to get rid of Mariano a week from now, and I was planning to meet with you tomorrow to discuss a solution. But there's no time like the present, and since you're also involved in this matter today, Connor, let's do it today. Tonight, I'll deliberately lead a team to patrol the Armand district in the North, and then I'll finish my work there at 11:30 PM and dismiss the team. 11:30 PM is already a bit late, not suitable for reporting to Edel!"

"Mariano got married a year ago because of pregnancy, and he's a good father and husband, so he'll definitely choose to go home to be with his wife and child. Then tomorrow, he'll find a suitable time to report to Eder. His home is in the Winster neighborhood of the North District of Rune. No matter which way he goes, he'll definitely pass through Kant Street in the North District on his way home, and that's a blind spot for the Eye of the Storm's surveillance..." Margaret quickly explained her plan to Connor.

Having overheard Margaret's plan word for word, Connor shrugged slightly and said meaningfully, "I have a feeling I've been tricked by you, Margaret. Mariano is just a mid-level wizard apprentice, how did he find me in the crowd just now...?"

A mischievous glint flashed in Margaret's beautiful eyes behind her veil, and she said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Mariano is a psychic wizard like you, Connor. Maybe he has some special abilities, or perhaps it's a unique connection between you psychic wizards?"

Seeing Margaret's expression, Connor shook his head with a wry smile, then held up one finger and said very seriously, "This is the first and last time!"

"No problem! I promise there won't be a next time..." Hearing Connor's agreement, a radiant smile bloomed on Margaret's stunningly beautiful face behind her purple veil.

Nodding, and seeing that Margaret had nothing else to tell him, Connor turned and walked out of the coffee shop. He had already wasted too much time here; Varga was still waiting for him in the safe house.

Twenty minutes later, Connor arrived at the street where the safe house was located in a taxi. As soon as Connor got off the taxi, he saw Walflower, dressed neatly with a serious expression and a hint of worry in her eyes, coming out of the safe house and heading towards the station. It seemed that she was going back to Felix Building.

However, when she saw Connor stepping down from the carriage, Varga was taken aback. Then, an excited look immediately appeared on her beautiful face, and she threw herself into Connor's arms without hesitation.

Stroking Varga's soft hair, sensing her worry for him, Connor's cold expression softened. He pulled Varga into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Sweetie, I'm back safe and sound now."

"Hmm!" Because the social atmosphere in the Kaman Empire was still very conservative, when Varga felt the surprised looks from the pedestrians on the street, her face immediately turned red, and she broke free from Connor's embrace.

"Let's go back!" Seeing Varga's girlish demeanor, Connor smiled slightly, then took Varga's fair hand and returned to their safe house.

Back in the safe house, Connor and Varga, both physically healthy, naturally did some embarrassing and indescribable things in their own little world, driven by excitement and hormones.

A few hours later, Varga leaned lazily on Connor's arm and said in a low voice with some regret, "I originally planned to have you go and observe James Trading Company today to see if there was any possibility of cooperation. After all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. But I didn't expect this to happen."

Hearing Varga's somewhat self-reproachful voice, Connor patted her smooth back gently with pity and said meaningfully, "I've noticed quite a few interesting things about what happened at the Felix Building today!"

"How so?" Hearing Connor's words, Varga immediately became interested, moved closer to Connor, and asked curiously:

"First of all, Varga, if James Trading Company gets wind of this, and old Victor discovers they're up to no good, do you think they'll leave quietly, or will they make a big show of moving like they are today?" Connor said calmly, a cold smile playing on his lips.

Varga was very clever, but she was too close to the situation to see clearly. She immediately realized what was going on and then thoughtfully asked Connor, "Connor, do you mean... the people from James Trading Company ran away beforehand after they heard the news, and those people who helped the trading company move were just a smokescreen?"

"I think that's it. This should be a clever escape. I noticed that besides a few ordinary white-collar workers and a big bald guy, the rest of the people moving James Trading Company today were all from Logan Moving Company, right? By the way, that big bald guy is the advanced wizard apprentice you mentioned, isn't he?" Connor said, recalling the situation at Felix Building a few hours ago.

"Yes, that bald guy is called Matulov. He was the one who represented James Trading Company in the potion transaction with Professor Gulsi. It was through him that I discovered James Trading Company was a secret base planted in Rune by the King's faction. His official identity is the vice president of James Trading Company!" Varga nodded and said without hesitation.

"Matulov...Matulov...Is he an Odin?" After pondering the name Matulov and recalling the image of that bald man, Connor asked Varga with some surprise:

"I'm not too sure about that, but the name Maturuv used to mean 'beast tamer' in the Odin language, so Maturuv should have an Odin background!" Varga said after thinking for a moment.

Connor nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, then narrowed his eyes and fell into thought. Seeing Connor ignoring her like this, Varga angrily pinched Connor's soft waist hard.

"What are you doing?" Connor felt the pain transmitted through his nerve endings and quickly grabbed Varga's little hand that was pinching him.
