Wizard Earl

Chapter 635 Meeting

Secondly, the "meet at the usual place" mentioned in the secret letter refers to the safe house where Varga and Connor live. The arrays and restrictions there were all set up by Connor himself. You can't even set a trap for Connor there. Connor can sense any slight abnormality there. Moreover, with the help of the arrays and restrictions, even if Old Victor came in person, Connor was confident that he could easily defeat Old Victor!

If the letter had been addressed to a new meeting address instead of the safe house where Connor and Varga were staying, Connor would have suspected that it might have been written by old Victor or the mastermind behind it all. But right now, he had no such concerns.

···········

On the morning of the 16th, Connor, who was eager to see Varga, quietly set off from Ferguson Apartments to the safe house he shared with Varga.

Perhaps like Connor, she was also eager to get there, so Varga didn't keep Connor waiting too long. She arrived at the safe house only half an hour later than Connor.

The two people, who had finally managed to meet, were naturally very excited to see each other. They hugged each other and poured out their hearts to one another. After finally finishing their private conversation, they gradually shifted the topic to the main issue.

"I almost died at Tusam's hands this time!" Varga pouted, leaning against Connor's strong chest, and said with a hint of grievance. When she mentioned Tusam's name, her beautiful eyes flashed with intense hatred, and then she continued, "If he had fallen into my hands, I would have tried all my poisons on him!"

Sensing Varga's resentment, Connor touched his nose and whispered, "Tusam is dead!"

"He's dead? When did he die? Old Victor is still looking for him everywhere!" Varga still harbored a great deal of resentment towards Tusam. Upon hearing Connor say that Tusam was dead, Varga was immediately startled, sat up from Connor's arms, and hurriedly asked Connor:

"Five days ago, in a wilderness less than thirty kilometers from Tunguska City!" Connor said with a smile, Varga speaking casually.

Hearing Connor specify the time and place so clearly, Varga's beautiful eyes flashed with a light. She leaned close to Connor's ear and whispered, "Five days ago? That is, the day after he attacked me. Connor, you know so much about it, could it be... that Tusam died at your hands?"

Faced with Varga's questioning gaze, Connor shook his head and said, "After your incident, I did hunt down Tusam, and I disposed of his body, clearing away any traces of the struggle. But he didn't die by my hand! Believe me! This matter with Varga seems more complicated than we thought!"

"Connor, what do you mean? Isn't the truth that Tusam wants to get the cleansing potion from me and break free from the Society's control?" A hint of doubt flashed in Varga's beautiful eyes as she asked Connor.

A bitter smile appeared on Connor's face. He kissed Varga's fair, smooth forehead, then held her in his arms and said slowly, "Varga, didn't you ever think about how Tusam, with such a well-hidden identity in the Secret Society, managed to find you so precisely? In fact, an hour after you were attacked by Tusam, I went to the private hospital where you worked, Dr. Ivanka's, and there I met your assistant, Joanna! She told me you went to that house in the Verona community, where I encountered two of Tusam's henchmen who were searching your house for the purifying potion. I used a mind control spell on them and learned that Tusam would appear in Kevin Town!"

"In Kevin Town, I discovered that Tusam was planning to escape to Galotania by train, so I preemptively stopped his escape plan and forced him to leave Kevin Town. In the wilderness outside the town, I chased after Tusam. Tusam was seriously injured and was no match for me. But to my surprise, in order to survive, Tusam transferred my hatred to old Victor. He even specifically pointed out that old Victor was my teacher's butler." Connor's tone became serious as he told Varga this.

Upon hearing Connor say that Tusam knew about Connor being a professor's student, Varga realized the seriousness of the situation. A look of shock immediately appeared on her pretty face, and she said incredulously, "How did Tusam know this? He joined the Secret Society with Sosgay. Many people in the Secret Society treat them as mercenaries. Logically, they shouldn't have any access to information about your relationship with Reyes!"

"I was also curious how Tusam knew this, so I planned to capture him alive while he was severely injured and use a soul-capturing technique on him. But I didn't expect this guy to seize his last bargaining chip and threaten me with self-destruction. He even told me that if I released him, he would tell me who told him about your hidden identity, Varga, and who told him about my relationship with Reyes!" Recalling the situation in the wilderness that day, a cold glint flashed in Connor's eyes as he said in a deep voice:

"What happened next?" Varga asked curiously, noticing that Connor's sermon abruptly ended at its most crucial point.

Faced with Connor's question, Connor's face turned bitter. He slowly shook his head and said, "There's no follow-up to Tusam's matter. Tusam had just made his terms with me when a cold arrow killed him. Someone silenced him right in front of me!" Connor then took out the green-glowing arrow that had killed Tusam from his spatial ring and handed it to Varga, saying, "This is the arrow. It was coated with a substance that countered Tusam's black aura. When I confronted Tusam, it pierced through his head, which was protected by the black aura. Tusam died instantly, his soul instantly annihilated and vanished!"

Seeing Connor hand her the green arrow, Varga knew what he meant. She immediately took the arrow and examined it carefully. After a few minutes, she shook her head and returned the arrow to Connor, saying, "As far as I know, none of the dozen or so wizards in the Secret Society in Rune possess any enchanted bows or arrows, let alone such a green arrow, at least not openly!"
