Wizard Earl

Chapter 537 Negotiating Conditions

"No!" Connor answered crisply with a smile, but the next second his smile turned sly. He flicked his wrist and the gun he was aiming at Kararov was now aimed at the blonde woman next to Kararov.

"Mr. Kararov, you're a smart man. You know you can use teleportation to escape my revolver attack. But do you think you can escape it yourself? Can this blonde lady next to you escape it too? If I'm not mistaken, this lady is your wife, isn't she?" Connor replied with a smile, while cautiously keeping watch to prevent Kararov from making a desperate move!

After hearing Connor's undisguised threat and seeing his actions, Kararov's eyes were filled with anger. However, this middle-aged man was indeed a formidable figure. Having just made the harsh statement that "Connor and Varga should both stay here," he remained silent, only staring intently at Connor.

"I understand your anger. If I were you, I would definitely want to give it a try. Mr. Kararov, you really should give it a try!" Connor knew perfectly well what Kararov was up to, and maintained his smile with slightly narrowed eyes, playing the provocative card:

The reason Kararov is suppressing his anger and remaining silent is simply because he is unsure whether he can teleport to Connor's side and kill him before Connor pulls the trigger at the blond woman.

Seeing that Connor had seen through his plan, Karazov's eyes dimmed, and he turned around to help the blonde woman beside him leave. It seemed that Connor's confidence had made him give up the idea of ​​killing Connor.

"Mr. Kararov, please wait!" Connor quickly called out to stop Kararov when he saw him about to leave.

Connor's original intention in coming here with Varga was simply to help her get rid of the troublesome Kararov. However, after overhearing Kararov and Varga's conversation through the ring and learning about the existence of the Salerin potion, Connor changed his mind. He had spent quite some time breaking through to become a high-level wizard apprentice, and the breakthrough to becoming a full wizard was imminent and urgent. Although Varga and Kararov's conversation did not explain how good Salerin was, Connor believed that the breakthrough potion, which a high-level wizard apprentice of Kararov's level had been desperately seeking, would certainly not disappoint.

Connor, also a senior wizarding apprentice, shares the same need as Karaloff. Therefore, Connor wants to obtain the Salarin potion. To do so, the method for compressing potions in the second half of "Pandoff's Selected Potions" in Karaloff's possession is crucial. Thus, if Connor wants to use the Salarin potion to advance from senior wizarding apprentice to full wizard, he must obtain the potion compression method from Karaloff!

Moreover, if Kararov is allowed to leave now, it's creating a formidable enemy. Kararov might settle the blonde woman, then turn around and launch a surprise attack. Connor isn't afraid of his disguise now, but Kararov knows Varga's location perfectly well. If Kararov decides to ambush Varga, things will get really complicated. If negotiations fail, Connor isn't afraid to fight Kararov to the death right here and kill him, even though the risk is immense and he'll pay a heavy price if he succeeds!

Upon hearing Connor's words of intervention, Kararov, who was already suppressing his anger, immediately stood still, clenching his fists. After a long while, thinking of the somewhat weak blonde woman beside him, the good husband Mr. Kararov finally suppressed his anger again and turned to look at Connor.

Seeing the furious glint in Kararov's eyes, Connor wasn't surprised at all. He conciliatoryly put the revolver back into his spatial ring, then whispered to Kararov, "Mr. Kararov, have you forgotten your initial thoughts?"

Kararov was incredibly astute. Upon hearing Connor's words, he immediately understood Connor's thoughts. Although his eyes still burned with anger, something else was mixed in. Kararov hesitated for a moment, then looked at Connor and said, "Can you represent Miss Antonella?"

Before Connor could even answer Kararov's question, Varga, standing next to him, took his arm, answering Kararov's question with her actions.

After giving Connor and Varga a long look, Kararov said, "What are your thoughts? But don't tell me again that you want me to wait a year!"

Hearing Kararov's reply, Connor was overjoyed; he knew he had a chance. Just then, Varga leaned close to his ear and whispered very carefully, "Judging from the difficulty of concocting the Salarin potion, I should be able to master the potion compression method in about two months!"

Varga's words instantly gave Connor a sense of security. Smiling, he squeezed Varga's soft, boneless hand and said to Kararov, "Give us the materials and the second half of the book. Come to Rune in six months to collect the potion!"

"What would be the constraint?" Knowing he couldn't take Varga with him, Kararov didn't directly reject Connor's suggestion, but continued to ask while still looking at Connor:

"The Eye of Arbitration!" Connor said in a deep voice after exchanging a glance with Varga. He knew that Kararov would not believe him based on his words alone, and there would have to be a contract that both parties could trust as a binding agreement.

Kararov seemed to have great trust in the "Eye of Arbitration." After a brief moment of contemplation, he glanced at Connor and Varga and added, "You two swear an oath together using the Eye of Arbitration!"

"No problem! We can both swear on the Eye of Arbitration for you, but I also want you and your wife to swear on the Eye of Arbitration that what happened today and our real names and identities will not be revealed in any form. Of course, we will not reveal your real names either!" Connor readily agreed to Kararov's request, but at the same time he made a new request.
