Wizard Earl

Chapter 623 Relentless Pursuit

After dealing with the two Tusam henchmen, Connor took out a pocket watch from his pocket, glanced at the time on it, nodded with satisfaction, then turned and walked out of the house, disappearing into the darkness of the Verona neighborhood.

It's around 11 p.m. now, and there are still about nine hours until the meeting time that Matthews and Tusam agreed to meet at 8 a.m. the next morning. Although East Rune is 50 kilometers away from Kevin Town, Connor's speed will not be a problem at all!

"Cough cough cough..."

On the path leading from the outskirts of Rune to the town of Kevin, Tusam, dressed in a black robe, walked with unsteady steps, a pale face, and coughed up blood violently from time to time, but he still dared not slacken in the slightest and continued to move forward with great effort.

In the past five hours, Tusam had experienced a lot. Although he had fought tooth and nail with Varga, even trading blows with her, and severely injured her on the way to the outskirts of Sensi Villa, Varga still managed to escape into the villa. Hidden inside were seven secret society wizards. Although only three of them were intermediate wizarding apprentices and the remaining four were just novice wizarding apprentices, the numerical advantage and the injuries he had sustained in his fight with Varga forced Tusam to face reality, abandon all illusions, and realize that his plan had completely failed.

If he wanted to survive for a few more months, he had no choice but to run away and avoid the pursuit of the Secret Society that would arrive in the next few hours. Although the situation was terrible, as a seasoned veteran who had been traveling in the wizarding world for many years, Tusam had already planned ahead and thought of the worst-case scenario before taking action. So the current result was very disappointing to him, but he still immediately began to take action to prepare for his escape.

To be honest, Tusam didn't think he was afraid of death, but he was afraid of falling into the hands of the Secret Society alive, because that would make him wish he were dead. He had seen old Victor's methods, and he would definitely treat him in the most cruel way for his betrayal, using his death as a warning to others and to make an example of him!

What happened after he fled was pretty much what Tusam had expected. Old Victor, who had discovered his betrayal, began mobilizing all the resources of the Loen Society, organizing all the Society's personnel in Loen to search for him. Because he had shown his face at the Sensi Villa, Tusam encountered the Society's first wave of pursuit after only an hour on the run. Although the pursuers were only two intermediate wizard apprentices, Tusam still dared not linger in the fight. After a brief exchange, he withdrew from the struggle and fled to the countryside.

Although Tusam was very clear-headed and tried his best to shake off the pursuers behind him, he was outnumbered and outgunned. In the next two hours, he was attacked by three more waves of the secret society, the last of which was the most dangerous!

Tusam unexpectedly encountered Roberto. If both were at their peak, Tusam was confident that Roberto would only be able to survive against him. However, the situation was beyond his control. He was now like a stray dog, injured and unable to fight Roberto. So he had no choice but to harden his heart and risk further injury to fight Roberto, hoping that Roberto would not dare to take him down with him!

In the end, Tusam won his gamble. Just as Tusam had expected, Roberto, who wanted to live, naturally didn't want to fight Tusam to the death and wisely retreated. Although Roberto stopped pressing him, the vicious words he uttered before leaving still chilled Roberto's heart.

Roberto told Tusam that in order to capture him, the traitor, even old Victor, who had been hiding in Oyar for months without ever making a move, personally took action!

This news plunged Tusam's heart into despair. He knew Old Victor's strength well; once the old man personally intervened, Tusam would have no chance of escape unless something unexpected happened...

"Cough...cough cough..."

The flare-up of his injuries caused Tusam, who had been running at a high intensity, to cough up a large amount of dark red blood. Although he still wanted to keep running, feeling weak and tired, Tusam had no choice but to give in to his physical condition. He took out a potion from his spatial ring to take and treat himself, and sat down in the grass to rest and recover for a while.

The medicine and rest that Tusam had taken seemed to have a significant effect. In just over ten minutes, a blush appeared on Tusam's paper-white face. As if sensing something, in the pitch-black night of the countryside, sitting in the grass with his eyes closed, Tusam, recovering, spoke calmly: "You can make your move. See if you can silence me!"

Tusam's faint voice echoed around, but received no response in the darkness. Seeing this, a mocking expression appeared on Tusam's face. He opened his eyes and looked to his left, where he saw a huge rock standing in the meadow.

Martina, who had been hiding behind the boulder, realized that Tusam had truly discovered her and was not bluffing. She then stepped out from behind the boulder and appeared in Tusam's sight.

"Old Victor has already set out, and he's less than ten kilometers away!" Martina said without hesitation or embarrassment, looking at Tusam who was staring at her. It seemed that the "murder to silence" that Tusam had mentioned earlier was not referring to her, Martina.

Upon hearing Martina's explanation, Tusam's pale and solemn expression finally relaxed a little. The reason he struggled so hard, knowing that Old Victor had a chance of killing him, was not only his desire to survive, but also his hope for an unexpected outcome.

The unexpected situation that Tusam was hoping for was none other than Martina, who had given him information about Varga and encouraged him to attack her!

On the way to escape, Tusam realized something: Martina would never let him fall into old Victor's hands alive. So Martina only had two choices: either help him escape, or kill him before old Victor could speak.

If old Victor finds out that all of this is Martina's doing behind his back, Martina's fate will be dire!
