Wizard Earl

Chapter 618 Roberto, the Guardian of the Hospital

While Miss Joanna might not have known that the hospital was called Dr. Gursey's Private Hospital, Connor already knew very well that it was a secret base of the Secret Society... So how could Connor fall for her trick?

Realizing he'd been exposed after hearing Joanna's words, the cautious Connor naturally didn't want to put himself in danger and left immediately. However, it seemed he'd already aroused the other party's suspicion. The muscular young man who had been looking around earlier, although wearing some kind of magical item to conceal his wizarding aura and magical fluctuations, Connor could still tell at a glance that he was an intermediate wizarding apprentice. This person was most likely sent by the hospital to follow him. Now that he'd slipped away, he was probably going to get a scolding! Sitting in the carriage, already away from Avenue Joffre, Connor squinted and thought to himself.

"Stam, what did you say? You actually lost track of them?" A dozen minutes after Connor left, in a secluded room deep inside Dr. Ivanka's private hospital.

A tall, bearded man with a furrowed brow roared angrily at the young man who was hunched over and trembling with fear in front of him. The young man was none other than the muscular man who had just been following Connor.

"Yes! Lord Roberto! That man was just a hundred meters in front of me. I was following him, but for some reason, he disappeared from my sight in the blink of an eye, and I can't find him anymore!" Sensing the anger of the burly man in front of him, the strong young man Stam trembled, but still said helplessly:

"Useless thing, get out!" After a moment of contemplation, the burly man with the thick beard glared at Stam and then said viciously:

Upon hearing that Roberto only told him to "get out" without any other punishment, Stam was not displeased at all. Instead, a look of surprise appeared on his face. He quickly bowed deeply to Roberto and then fled the secret room as if he were escaping.

A minute after Stam left the secret room, the tall Joanna entered and, like a docile kitten, approached the pensive, bearded Roberto. Sensing Joanna's initiative, Roberto didn't hold back, pulling Joanna into his arms and giving her a long, S-shaped kiss.

"Darling, how could you let Stam go so easily?" Joanna whispered seductively in Roberto's ear.

Although he had a beautiful woman in his arms, Roberto seemed unaffected by lust. His eyes remained clear, and he inhaled Joanna's fragrance, saying softly:

"Stam is an intermediate wizard apprentice, and he's especially skilled at tracking and stealth. In this respect, he's one of the best in the hands of the Rune Organization. Even if I were being tracked by him, I might not be able to shake him off. This mysterious man who appears and calls himself Simone, since he was able to shake off Stam's tracking, means that his abilities far surpass Stam's. It seems that Joanna, your guess was correct. This Simone's identity is definitely not ordinary..."

"Simone is probably his alias now, but I don't know if he used his real identity when he came today. This guy seems to know something hidden in the hospital. When I let him in, he didn't hesitate at all, and just walked away without a second thought. There were quite a few people in the hospital lobby at the time, so I couldn't do anything to him and had to let him go." Joanna said with some regret as she kissed Roberto's cheek.

"Hmm! This person's name and appearance are probably fake. If Joanna is as you say, she's definitely a very cautious person and would never reveal her true identity to us!" Roberto said in a deep voice, then, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Joanna with some doubt and asked, "Why did this person find his way here?"

"He said he was there to see Angelina, but he wasn't on Angelina's schedule, so I wanted to test him. Sure enough, he fell for it and left immediately..." Hearing Roberto's question, Joanna thought for a moment and then recounted the story without suspicion:

"He's here to see Angelina..." Joanna's words made Roberto even more confused. Roberto was the head of the security detail stationed at the hospital by the secret society. His daily duties included ensuring the safety of the hospital and Angelina herself, transporting raw materials for making potions, and dealing with anyone who might pose a threat to the hospital's safety.

From its inception, Dr. Ivanka's private hospital was placed under a special magic array by a secret society. If anyone above the level of a high-level wizard apprentice, that is, a formal wizard, enters the hospital, the magic array will be automatically triggered, and the person in charge of the magic array will receive a very secret signal.

Since this mysterious person using the pseudonym Simone was able to easily shake off Stam's tracking, even without triggering the restriction, Roberto thought that if he wasn't mistaken, this mysterious person should be a high-level wizard apprentice, and with exceptional strength. So the question is, why would such a person come to the hospital to find Angelina?

In Roberto's memory, Angelina, as a pharmacist, spent most of her time at the hospital learning pharmacology and making potions for the secret society, except for her daily rest and relaxation. Her life was very regular. She seemed to have no connection with Simone, a powerful high-level wizard apprentice with an unknown origin and identity.

Just as Roberto was lost in thought, he suddenly seemed to realize something. His eyes flashed, and he pushed Joanna away from leaning against him. He then quickly took out a seemingly ordinary piece of paper from his spatial ring. A few seconds after Roberto took out the paper, it flashed a dazzling white light under his gaze. A few seconds later, the light dissipated, and the contents of the paper were revealed to Roberto.

Upon seeing the contents of the message, Roberto's face showed a mixture of shock and anger. Seeing Roberto's reaction, and after being ruthlessly pushed aside, Joanna, who had initially felt somewhat aggrieved, asked him curiously, "What happened?"
