Wizard Earl

Chapter 574 Seduction

"You want to...?" Upon hearing Margaret mention the name "Jose Factory," Connor, who had met Margaret there before, immediately realized what Margaret wanted to do.

"There's no time like the present!" Margaret nodded, a murderous glint in her beautiful eyes, and continued, "Aren't we just waiting for them to show up? Kill them both to solve Connor's problem, and then you can join me in killing old Victor, right?"

"good!"

After a quick mental decision, a ruthless glint flashed in Connor's eyes. He nodded in agreement with Margaret's idea. As for Perrin and Wanda, not to mention that they possessed what Connor wanted, even if they wanted to seize the "Heart of Seta" from him, they both had to die. Since they were going to die anyway, whether they died now or later didn't matter much to Connor.

After reaching an agreement with Margaret, Connor took out a black iron mask from his spatial ring and put it on his face. Although he wanted to attract Wanda and Perrin's attention, Connor obviously couldn't expose his true face to the two of them. There wasn't enough time to disguise himself, so Connor could only make do with this mask.

In the pitch-black night, Connor had just quietly slipped out of his apartment when his mental powers, which were hiding in a nearby alley, could already vaguely sense the handsome young man Palin, whom he had met once before, and the middle-aged beauty Wanda, who were stealthily approaching his apartment from the street corner.

Glancing at the street corner, Connor squinted, silently calculating the distance and time. He needed to draw Wanda and Perrin's attention to himself to buy Margaret time to leave the apartment. So, his first task was to make Wanda and Perrin notice him. However, while he needed to make them notice him, he had to control the timing and distance perfectly. He had to ensure that he drew them away without letting Wanda and Perrin actually catch up with him.

As Connor sensed Wanda and Perrin getting closer, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath, his gaze sharpening instantly. With a thought, a black magic robe appeared on his body.

Clad in a black magic robe, under the cover of darkness, Connor moved with the slightest movement, covering a distance of more than ten meters.

At this moment, on Rand Street, among the two who were quietly making their way to Ferguson's apartment, Wanda, who had stronger mental strength and more experience, was the first to spot Connor's figure in the darkness. She immediately changed her expression and called out to Palin beside her.

"Palin, look!"

Even without Wanda's prompting, Perrin had already spotted Connor's figure on the street a hundred meters away. Although his mental strength was slightly weaker than Wanda's, it wasn't by much. He only sensed Connor's presence a few seconds later than Wanda.

"Judging from the direction he came from, he must have just come out of Ferguson's apartment!" Wanda made a quick judgment after observing for a moment.

"Someone was definitely up to something! Let's follow them!" Palin sneered excitedly, and without waiting for Wanda behind him, she took the initiative to follow.

Seeing the impatient and impulsive Perrin, Wanda frowned slightly, then glanced at the Ferguson Apartments in the darkness not far away. After hesitating for a moment, not wanting to leave Perrin alone, she followed him.

A few minutes after Wanda and Palin left, Margaret, wearing a purple veil, walked out of Ferguson's apartment building. Looking in the direction where Connor, Wanda, and Palin had disappeared, her expression was very complex in her deep blue eyes beneath the veil.

"SHIT! Those two guys have some tricks up their sleeves!"

On a dirt road in a town on the outskirts of the West Rune District, Connor used his mental power to sense Wanda and Perrin hanging far behind him. A look of seriousness appeared in his eyes. Although he had been secretly watching Wanda and Perrin for some time, this was the first time he had truly tested their strength.

In the past ten minutes, in order to test the strength of these two people, Connor deliberately urged his black magic robe to accelerate. However, Connor found that no matter how fast he increased his speed, Wanda and Perrin behind him were always at the same distance, keeping a long way off him. They were preventing Connor from being discovered and exposed, and they would never let Connor disappear from their sight. In short, they were very troublesome.

"Has that guy up ahead spotted us?" Looking at the faintly visible black figure ahead, Palin, her face pale, asked Wanda beside her, whose complexion was equally unpleasant, with a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Hearing Palin's question, Wanda hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "He must have spotted us. That sudden acceleration just now seemed like he was trying to shake us off..."

Having confirmed his doubts with Wanda, Perrin raised an eyebrow, steeled his resolve, and continued to say to Wanda, "Let's go! This is already the outskirts of the West End, the eye of the church's storm. Their coverage and surveillance here are very weak. If we don't act now, we might really be shaken off!"

Wanda glanced around at Palin's suggestion, making sure there was no one else nearby, and nodded slightly in agreement. Wanda and Palin quickly exchanged a glance, and the two, who had gradually developed a tacit understanding, suddenly sped up, flanking Connor from the left and right.

Sensing the two figures suddenly appearing from behind, Connor, who was already on guard, showed no panic. He even calmly took out an exquisitely decorated pocket watch from his pocket, glanced at the time, and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he activated his black magic robe, flashing it several times. Wanda, who had just closed the distance with Connor, was now more than a hundred meters away from him in the blink of an eye.

Heading towards the location of Jose's factory from his memory, Connor moved quickly. No matter how fast Perrin and Wanda increased their speed behind him, Connor was always a step ahead of them thanks to the lightness spell amplified by his black magic robes. However, in order not to let the two of them give up and to successfully reach the Jose factory where Margaret was lying in ambush, Connor did not choose to run away in one fell swoop, but instead kept giving the two behind him hope of catching up with him.
