Wizard Earl

Chapter 470 Varga's Womanly Intuition

"Connor, didn't you say you discovered a lot of interesting things today? Then tell me why things were so strange today, why those gangsters showed up, and why the Metropolitan Police Department arrived so quickly after they smashed things and injured people. I feel like they were lying in ambush, waiting for the H gang to finish before they came out..." Seeing that Connor had shifted his attention back to her, Varga hugged Connor's arm and said:

"Valga, you know there are traitors within the secret society among the higher echelons of the Church of Rune. That shows how much power my mentor wields in Rune. As his representative, old Victor can mobilize some of the H gangs. What are the police compared to that? Oh, and Valga, I forgot to tell you, the reason I'm so late is because on my way back I encountered Rune's Constitution Bureau and a team of arbitrators from the Church blocking the streets and checking pedestrians!" A glint of light flashed in Connor's eyes as he spoke calmly.

Upon hearing Connor mention "Constitution B" and the "Arbitrator Squad," a strange light immediately appeared in Varga's beautiful eyes. She then praised Connor, saying, "The captains of the Rune Arbitrator Squad are all high-level wizard apprentices, the same level as you, Connor. They didn't even discover your whereabouts! Connor, your stealth skills have improved!"

Varga's praise unconsciously brought to mind Margaret's sly smile in the café. He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be a big problem for me to deceive wizards of the same level, but I just ran into her..." Connor suddenly stopped speaking and looked at Varga in his arms. He suddenly realized that he shouldn't have mentioned Margaret in front of Varga.

"She... woman? Who is she? Connor, why did you stop talking?" Because in Kaman, "he" and "she" are not the same word or the same expression, Varga immediately noticed Connor's oversight. Her woman's intuition immediately caught her attention, and she bombarded Connor with three deadly questions in a row.

Looking into Varga's large eyes, which were fixed on him intently, Connor felt immense regret for his slip of the tongue. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard. Connor knew that with Varga's intelligence and shrewdness, if he chose to play dumb or tell a "white lie" at this moment, Varga might outwardly express her belief and understanding, but behind his back, she would definitely investigate thoroughly.

After quickly organizing his thoughts, Connor took a deep breath and met Varga's scrutinizing gaze, saying, "Yes, it's a woman! Varga, I don't want to hide it from you, yes, I met a woman on my way back, but I'm sorry Varga, I can't tell you who she is, at least not right now. The only thing I can tell you is that my relationship with her was based on mutual exploitation, without the slightest bit of other emotion!"

Hearing Connor's candid words, Varga bit her lip lightly, lowered her head, and softly said, "Connor, I didn't ask about your relationship with her..."

"FUCK!" Connor was annoyed that he had made a mistake by being prejudiced and trying to cover up his own stupidity.

Connor forced himself to calm down, then grabbed Varga's shoulders, looked her into her eyes, and said, "Varga, I believe you understand what I'm saying, right?"

"Mmm!" Varga gave her a sweet smile and nodded gently.

Seeing Varga's attitude, Connor felt a little relieved. Then he glanced at the dark sky outside and remembered what he had promised Margaret to do that night. He immediately got out of Varga's bed and started getting dressed.

"Where are you going?" Seeing Connor's eagerness, Varga sat up in bed, looking at Connor with some confusion in her beautiful eyes.

"I have some urgent business to attend to!" Connor said casually. He checked his black magic robe, which would be crucial to his upcoming actions. After confirming that the robe was in good condition, Connor smiled and gently kissed Varga on the forehead, then whispered in her ear, "I'll be right back!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you patiently," Varga said intimately, her arm around Connor's neck.

Connor, unaware of anything amiss, left the safe house with peace of mind and disappeared into the darkness. Watching Connor's departing figure, Varga's smile slowly faded, and a complex meaning appeared in her eyes.

Based on a woman's intuition, Varga felt that Connor's hasty departure must be related to the "she" he mentioned. Moreover, judging from Connor's attitude, Varga felt that Connor cared a lot about this "she." The relationship between Connor and "her" was definitely not just a simple matter of mutual exploitation without any emotion, as Connor claimed.

Most importantly, Varga believed that the "she" Connor was referring to must be a very beautiful woman!

Hidden among the pine trees lining Kant Street, Connor felt the unsettling damp chill of the night air around him, but his eyes remained remarkably calm and complex.

Connor was certain that if this had happened when he first met Margaret, he would have at least never had anything to do with her again, even if he hadn't killed her. What surprised Connor the most was that when he realized his collaborator Margaret had been plotting against him and manipulating him to get him to kill someone for her, Connor Ferguson felt some anger, but not the kind of fury he expected. This was completely contrary to Connor's self-perception!

After overhearing Margaret's plan to kill Mariano in the café, Connor's initial doubts about how Mariano, a mid-level wizard apprentice, could discover his hidden abilities were resolved. Undoubtedly, Margaret had already discovered him before Connor discovered him, and she had chosen to subtly reveal her whereabouts to Mariano. Her purpose in doing so was simply to connect Connor with the matter and persuade him to help her kill Mariano.
