Wizard Earl

Chapter 610 The Poisonous Scheme Revealed

But now that Margaret had asked, Connor had to take it seriously. He carefully recalled all the information he knew about the Valencia Chamber of Commerce and the Secret Society. After a few seconds, Connor, who hadn't noticed anything, honestly shook his head at Margaret to avoid misleading her judgment, and said, "I hadn't thought about this question before you asked it, and based on the information I currently have, I can't give you a definite answer."

Upon hearing Connor's answer, Margaret fell silent, unsure whether she was satisfied or not. After a moment of contemplation, she said with a wry smile, "The Valencia Merchant Guild is too large. If something happens to it, the impact on Rune's economy will be enormous. Even if it were completely controlled by the Secret Society in the worst-case scenario, even if the Church wanted to take action against it, the Empire would likely not allow it!"

"Let's think more about ourselves now! I don't know why, but I have a bad feeling..." Connor said with a heavy expression. As a psychic wizard, Connor's intuition is usually very accurate because of his keen senses. It has helped him foresee many dangers. Now that this bad feeling has appeared again, Connor is still very vigilant!

"Hmm!" Margaret responded absentmindedly, then seemed to remember something, pulled herself together, and winked playfully at Connor, saying, "In that case, everything is in your hands, Connor, and your source!"

"No problem! I'll meet with her within three days!" Connor nodded without hesitation, reassuring Margaret that he had given her the information.

"Oh dear! It's raining so hard today... My boyfriend just bought me new leather shoes, and they're completely soaked..."

"Hurry up and get going! Otherwise, if you don't have time to sign in, that old hag in the management office will dock your perfect attendance bonus again!"

In the lobby of Dr. Ivanka's private hospital at 38 Avenue Joffre, two nurses were whispering to each other, while not far behind them, outside the hospital, a violent storm was raging with thunder and lightning.

The weather in Rune during the height of summer is as unpredictable as a child's face. Just an hour ago, the sky was clear and there was no sign of rain. But now, dark clouds have gathered, and large raindrops are pattering down on every corner of the city.

In her own consultation room on the second floor of the hospital, Varga, using the pseudonym Angelina, was looking out at the torrential rain through the glass window of her office. She frowned slightly, looking rather unhappy. In half an hour, she would be handing over her shift to the other doctors, finishing her work for the day, and then going to meet Connor.

However, judging from the current scale of the rain, this downpour can easily last for another half hour. Although for wizards, normal natural conditions such as wind and rain have a negligible impact on them, encountering such bad weather when going to see Connor, a time when separation is like reunion, is not a pleasant thing!

Varga glanced at the time on her exquisite wristwatch, hesitated for a moment, then walked back to her seat and shook the brass bell on the table.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong..."

A crisp, pleasant ringtone rang out, followed by a knock on the door of the consultation room.

"Please come in!" Varga said calmly, indicating that the person knocking could enter.

As Varga finished speaking, a tall, white girl with gold-rimmed glasses entered the room and respectfully asked Varga, who was seated, "Vice Dean Angelina, did you need to see me?"

"Joanna, are there any patients looking for me outside?" Varga, using the alias Angelina, nodded and then asked her assistant:

Joanna, as Varga's assistant, seemed quite capable. Hearing Varga's question, she answered without hesitation, "Vice Dean, you only have Mrs. Kepa left as your patient today. She's had a sore throat and wanted to see you. Because you were so slow with your scheduling, I rescheduled her for ten minutes later, but she hasn't come yet. And with this heavy rain outside, I think Mrs. Kepa probably won't come..."

"Very good!" Varga nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Joanna's introduction, then said, "Since she didn't come, I'll be leaving now!"

"I understand, I'll make the arrangements!" Joanna nodded obediently.

"I heard you're getting engaged. I have some things to do and can't make it, but I've prepared a small gift for you. I hope you like it!" Varga smiled and handed an envelope to her assistant, who had been with her for many years, from a drawer in her desk.

Although the envelope looked thin, Joanna, knowing her boss was always generous, immediately showed a look of surprise and delight. She took the envelope from Varga's hands with both hands and said sincerely, "Thank you so much, Vice Dean! You've gone to so much trouble!"

"It's alright, just remember to have a great honeymoon!" Varga winked at her assistant as she said this.

After her thank-you assistant left her consultation room, Varga changed into a set of casual clothes, opened her wardrobe, and gently knocked three times on the mirror inside. After three knocks, the mirror slowly cracked, revealing a hidden door without a sound. Varga pushed open the hidden door and went inside. As Varga entered, the hidden door slowly closed and returned to the shape of a mirror!

Five minutes later, Varga, holding an umbrella, appeared at the public carriage station on Pompeii Street near Avenue Joffre.

In a city as economically developed as Rune, the public carriage system is relatively well-developed. Although it is raining now, as long as we wait patiently for a while, what is meant to come will eventually return.

The rain outside was pouring down. At the public carriage station, only Varga was waiting for a carriage. In the midst of the storm, the usually bustling streets of Pompeii were deserted. It must be said that Varga was very lucky. After waiting at the station for about ten minutes, a blue public carriage moving through the downpour appeared in Varga's sight.
