Wizard Earl

Chapter 608 Martina's Vicious Scheme

Martina's words immediately filled Tusam with immense joy, but after a few seconds, the euphoria subsided, and a hint of suspicion appeared in Tusam's eyes. The reason he had agreed to act in front of old Victor with Martina in the first place, and even their current cooperation, was all for this purifying potion.

As demonized knights, anti-demonic potions can only help them fight against the demonization of their bodies and slow down the rate of demonization, but cannot completely solve the problem of demonization. However, according to rumors, purifying potions can solve the fatal problem of demonized knights' bodies once and for all, allowing them to never suffer from the torment of demonization again.

After learning of the existence of the Purifying Potion a few years ago, Tusam had been searching for it relentlessly. He had taken countless detours and endured much hardship, but he never gave up. Finally, he learned that the Secret Society had a genius apothecary in Rune who might be able to concoct the Purifying Potion. That's why he took the initiative to ask Southgate to transfer him to Rune, ostensibly to assist old Victor in his work there.

However, Tusam's true purpose in coming to Rune was to secretly search for the genius apothecary. His search, however, left him with mixed feelings of joy and sorrow. He was pleased that the anti-magic potion given to him by Old Victor proved the existence of this legendary genius apothecary. But he was also saddened by the fact that this genius apothecary was well-protected by the secret society, his identity extremely secretive. Tusam had searched for a long time without finding a single clue. Therefore, when Martina, Old Victor's assistant, offered him a clue about the anti-magic potion in exchange for cooperation, Tusam readily agreed!

Although the allure of the Purifying Potion was immense, Tusam, a veteran of the wizarding world, wasn't a fool. After a brief period of euphoria, he wasn't completely blinded by the temptation. When he first established a cooperative relationship with Martina, she wouldn't reveal a single word about the Purifying Potion, no matter how much he threatened or bribed her. Now, why was she so eager to tell him about his plan to kill old Victor? Could there be something fishy going on here?

Seeing the suspicion in Tusam's eyes, Martina gave a faint smile and said calmly, "Tusam, you should have found out at least a little about the origin of this batch of anti-magic potions the Secret Society sent you, right?"

Upon hearing Martina mention this, Tusam's dark pupils narrowed slightly. After pondering for a dozen seconds, he didn't directly answer Martina's question. Instead, he looked at Martina meaningfully and said, "What do you want to tell me?"

"It's nothing! I just wanted to tell Tusam that the genius apothecary who concocts anti-magic potions for you and your men is there. It seems you don't want to know, Tusam? If so, then forget it, I guess I was being nosy..." Martina said with a smile.

After speaking, Martina actually stood up, as if to leave the room. Seeing this, Tusam's eyes flickered rapidly. Even though he knew Martina might not have good intentions, the allure of the Purifying Potion was simply too great. So, after Martina had only taken three or four steps, Tusam had already made his decision and spoke to Martina, urging her to stay: "Tell me about the identity of that apothecary! I want to know..."

Upon hearing that Tusam had chosen to back down, Martina smiled slightly. To avoid escalating the situation, she refrained from further provocation and instead stated calmly, "At Dr. Ivanka's private hospital at No. 38, Xiafei Road, East District of Rune, there is a vice-director named Angelina. Angelina is an alias. Our hospital's vice-director's real name is Varga, and she is an extremely talented pharmacist. Over 80% of all the potions the Secret Society uses in Rune, including the anti-magic potions you and your subordinates are currently taking, were made by her!"

"If Varga can't concoct purifying potions, then I don't know who else in Rune can..." Martina, with her back to Tusam, paused for a few seconds before continuing:

"Although I think you understand Varga's importance to the Secret Society, to make it even clearer for you and to dispel any illusions, I feel it's necessary to remind you that once you make a move against Varga, old Victor will immediately mobilize all his forces in Rune to find you! It will be very difficult for you to hide in Rune! So after attacking Varga, regardless of success or failure, if you want to live, you must leave Rune, otherwise you will have no chance to leave..."

After saying this, Martina didn't hesitate any longer. She pushed open the door and walked out of the apartment. She knew that Tusam would soon be of no use to her because he was going to become a dead man. He would use his own death to enrage Connor Ferguson, so that the angry Connor Ferguson would join forces with Margaret to eliminate old Victor.

"So, did you figure it out?"

In the Lucy Hotel at 31 Napoli Street in the western part of the Rue de la Riviera, Connor, still completely unaware of Martina's treacherous plot, looked helplessly at Martina beside him. At this moment, Martina was holding a pair of binoculars that shimmered with a blue-black light, observing the distant Oyar noodle factory.

Two hours earlier, in a private room at the Grand Hotel Miling, Martina, persuaded by Connor, agreed to come only to observe the Oyar noodle factory that Old Victor might be hiding. So the two of them acted very quickly, and in just two hours, they came from the Grand Hotel Miling to the Lucy Hotel to begin observing the Oyar noodle factory.

Because Old Victor and other potential secret society experts might be hiding in the Oyar Noodle Factory, for safety reasons, on Connor's advice, Connor and Varga did not approach the Oyar Noodle Factory at close range. Instead, they chose to keep a safe distance from the factory and hide to observe it using alchemical telescopes.

"Connor, your alchemical telescope is really good for observation. I've used other alchemical telescopes before, but none of them are as good as yours..." Margaret reluctantly put down the telescope and handed it to Connor, whispering with admiration:
