Wizard Earl

Chapter 552 Alex Sandro (1)

While Varga's help was beneficial, Connor had his own concerns. He worried that after this incident, Varga would be even more eager to join him in killing old Victor, something Connor couldn't promise Varga! Varga had previously suspected Connor of having an affair and had even raided his apartment, although, as of now, nothing substantial had actually happened between Connor and Margaret…

However, for both Connor and Margaret, it would be self-deception to say they had never developed feelings for each other. So, sometimes when facing Varga, Connor might appear nonchalant on the surface, but deep down he felt guilty and had a sense of emotional infidelity towards her.

Compared to Varga, Martina had many more concerns. First, asking her for help would inevitably cost Connor a lot of money. Second, given Martina's personality, she would definitely ask Connor why the Celta Cult was causing him trouble. Martina was a very shrewd woman, and it would be difficult for Connor to fool her with a lie. Connor would also find it difficult to tell Martina the truth.

Furthermore, Martina might not be able to help him. Judging from Martina's movements, she has always been under Old Victor's watchful eye. If she comes to help him, there is a real chance that Old Victor will find out... Once Old Victor finds out, the consequences will be unimaginable. Both Martina herself and Connor will be at great risk.

As for having Varga and Martina as his helpers, Connor dismissed the idea after a moment's thought. If Varga saw him meeting Martina, she, who was already prone to jealousy, would become even more suspicious and wonder if he was having an affair with Martina. After all, Martina's cold temperament and aloof beauty were an irresistible temptation for a physically healthy man.

In short, it's unlikely that Martina will be his helper, Connor has reservations about asking Varga for help, and he has even more reservations about asking both of them to help.

After careful consideration, Connor sighed silently. He ultimately decided to bide his time, plan for the long term, and not rush into a battle of wits with the other party.

In the dead of night that Connor made his decision, he could never have imagined that a person dressed in black, completely covered up, and wearing a smiling mask would appear on the utterly silent Rand Street. This person looked around and, seeing that the military police patrolling Rand Street had gone far away and there was no one else on the street, immediately moved. When he reappeared, he had already crossed the two-meter-high wall of the Ferguson Apartments at No. 16 Rand Street and appeared in front of the apartment door.

The smiling masked man seemed quite wary, looking around again before quietly opening the apartment door and slipping inside.

The smiling masked man entered the apartment and immediately began carefully searching the first floor. Judging from his movements, he was clearly a habitual offender who frequently broke into other people's homes to look for things. All his movements were very small; he would pick something up and put it back immediately, without letting the object move at all.

The bronze-masked man, having failed to find his target in the apartment's lobby, kitchen, bathroom, and dining room, quietly made his way to the second floor. However, after more than ten minutes, having found no clues in the master bedroom, study, storage room, and finally the guest room, the smiling masked man's brown pupils, visible behind the mask, revealed a hint of disappointment.

However, just as the smiling masked man was about to leave, a small bronze mirror on the guest room desk, with a rough style and simple design, suddenly caught his attention. Holding the small bronze mirror in his hand, the smiling masked man's eyes showed a hint of doubt. After hesitating for a moment, he put the small bronze mirror into his spatial ring, and then turned around and slipped away from the apartment.

However, at that moment, Perrin, who was manipulating the token in the Osasuna Hotel, suddenly changed his expression and quickly asked Wanda beside him, "Do you know what that treasure of the Ferguson family is?"

"I don't know, what's wrong?" Although she didn't know why Palin asked this question, Wanda answered without hesitation:

"Sandro seems to have taken a small mirror from the guest room of Ferguson's apartment. After taking the mirror, he didn't stay in the apartment any longer and left immediately!" Perrin explained immediately, then turned his gaze to Wanda. Now it was time for Wanda to make a decision!

"Follow him!" Upon hearing the information Perrin provided, although somewhat skeptical that Sandro could find the item so easily in Ferguson's apartment, Wanda gritted her teeth and made a decisive decision, just in case the treasure was taken from right under her nose.

Wanda and Perrin acted swiftly upon making their decision, without any delay. They each put on a mask to conceal their faces and then quietly left the hotel, silently chasing after the smiling masked man, Alex Sandro, a high-ranking wizard apprentice of the Celtic Church.

Fearing being discovered by Sandro, Perrin and Wanda tacitly kept their distance from him, keeping a watchful eye on him in the darkness. To their great surprise, Alex Sandro seemed unaware of their presence and continued advancing towards the southern district of Rune. That area had the worst coverage of the entire Rune Church's Eye of Storm within the city of Rune, meaning it was the most suitable place for wizards to fight!

When Sandro, playing the Smiling Mask, entered a deserted, simple villa, Wanda and Palin exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of excitement in each other's eyes!

After exchanging glances, Wanda and Palin, one on each side, stealthily made their way towards the villa.

Meanwhile, Sandro, back at his lodgings, was completely unaware of the arrival of Wanda and Perrin, his two partners from the organization. After entering the villa, he removed the smiling mask he was wearing and put it back into his spatial ring, revealing his true face: a middle-aged man with red hair, a full beard, and triangular eyes, who looked extremely fierce.
