Wizard Earl

Chapter 593 The Stalker Outside Ferguson's Apartment

"Shut up!"

Martina's words were like a cold, sharp blade, piercing Tusam's heart with deadly force. Tusam immediately roared in fury; his previously pale face flushed crimson with rage, his breathing became labored like a wild beast, and his bloodshot eyes glared fiercely at Martina. This time, Tusam's anger wasn't feigned; it emanated from within, from his very soul, from his very heart…

Seeing Tusam's reaction, Martina nodded in satisfaction. This was exactly the kind of Tusam she wanted. Without trying to provoke him further, Martina refocused her attention on the steak and red wine on the table and began to enjoy the food.

A minute later, Tusam recovered from his anger, the redness on his face disappeared, and his breathing returned to normal.

Seeing this, Martina continued, "I know what you're trying to say. Old Victor is dead, and the professor certainly won't let this go. But do you know where the professor is right now?"

"The professor is currently entangled with the Duke in the capital, Bernabéu. If we act quickly enough, even if he's terrifying, he'll be powerless to stop us. Once we kill old Victor, we can go our separate ways! You should have heard about old Victor's methods, Tusam, right? Besides, this is his territory, Loon. Do you think you'll have the chance to leave and pursue freedom if you don't take down old Victor?"

"How do we take down old Victor?" Tusam asked grimly, looking at Martina.

Upon hearing Tusam's question, Martina smiled. She knew she had succeeded; even a powerful ally like Tusam had been impressed by her plan!

"Believe me! We're not the only ones who want to kill old Victor!" Martina raised her glass, looking at Tusam with great confidence, and said:

Sitting in the quiet room of Ferguson's apartment, Connor sat cross-legged in the center, emanating a faint black aura. A pale blue barrier shielded Connor from energy fluctuations, preventing the energy fluctuations caused by his cultivation from being detected by the Eye of the Storm in the East District.

Connor was quite concerned after learning from Varga that Old Victor was going to send demonized knights to deal with him. Having fought demonized knights several times, he knew how troublesome they were. So, in order not to give these monsters hiding in the shadows any opportunity, and in addition to waiting for Margaret's letter, Connor had been hiding in his apartment and had not gone out. After all, as long as these demonized knights had not been driven crazy by their bestiality and still had a shred of rationality, they would never choose to launch a strong attack on Ferguson's apartment at 16 Rand Street in the East District of Rune.

Once the demonized knight does this, even if Edel, the bishop of Storm Church, wanted to suppress the matter, he would be powerless to do so. The news would quickly reach the church headquarters, and at that point, the Storm Church would investigate thoroughly, and no one would escape...

It has been three days since Varga arrived. For the first two days of those three days, Connor was renovating his Ferguson apartment. Because it involved the privacy of the apartment, and because he was worried that hiring someone to do the renovation might be taken advantage of by some people with ulterior motives, Connor chose to do it himself. Although renovating the house was not difficult, it was really tedious. It took Connor two days to finish it completely, and he only had time to properly cultivate on the remaining day.

As time ticked by, Connor, who was inside the barrier, seemed to sense something. A playful expression appeared on his angular face. A few seconds later, Connor slowly stopped his practice and opened his eyes. Then, after suppressing his aura, he removed the barrier around him and took out a red and blue crystal ball from his spatial ring.

With his right hand resting on the crystal ball, Connor's mental energy immediately sank into it. Moments later, a 360-degree view of the situation near Ferguson's apartment was presented to Connor within the crystal ball.

With a sudden thought, Connor's attention was immediately drawn to: a thin man in a blue shirt and glasses sitting on a bench near Land Street, reading the Ruhnn Evening Post; a short, stout man seemingly waiting for a public carriage at the station; and two bald, burly men in a restaurant, their faces flushed from drinking, yet still engaged in loud, animated conversation.

Connor observed the four people through the crystal ball with his mental energy. His eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously touched his chin. At first glance, the four people's clothing and behavior seemed perfectly normal, with nothing noteworthy. However, if you considered the location of Ferguson Apartments, you would clearly see that these four people were positioned at the front door, back door, and the perimeter wall of Ferguson Apartments. They had cleverly surrounded Ferguson Apartments perfectly. No one who wanted to enter or leave Ferguson Apartments could escape their sight!

In addition, Connor, who had dealt with demonized knights many times, discovered that these four people, who were different from the black-clad men he knew before, who were covered in black robes from head to toe and whose bodies had been partially demonized and showed characteristics of demonic beasts, and who dared not show any skin, still retained some of the scent of demonized knights. Although the scent was very faint, Connor, who had a very deep impression of it, was still able to detect it after carefully listening for a while!

"It seems that the Demon Knight's technique has made another breakthrough..." After observing the four people for a while, Connor muttered to himself. Apart from the fact that the Demon Knight's scent on his body had faded, Connor's intuition as a mental wizard told him that these four people were dangerous and he had to be careful, otherwise they would cause him a lot of trouble.

Ever since learning from Varga that these demonized knights were looking for trouble, Connor had been on high alert about the area around his apartment for the past three days. However, their appearance today was still a bit of a surprise to Connor. After observing the four demonized knights for a while, a cold smile appeared on Connor's face. He withdrew his mental energy from the crystal ball and put the red and blue crystal ball back into his spatial ring.
