Wizard Earl

Chapter 637 Doubt (2)

"My sources didn't tell me why old Victor suspected Martina, but I think he must have been aware of Martina's undercover identity. Plus, Tusam and his men happened to arrive in Rune at that time, and Tusam was a newcomer who had just joined the secret society. So old Victor arranged for Tusam to investigate Martina. Somehow, Martina found out about Tusam's investigation, so she's been targeting Tusam ever since!" Varga told Connor about the feud between Martina and Tusam without hesitation.

Varga's explanation made Connor frown even more. After pondering for a while, he continued to ask Varga, "Varga, are you sure your source is reliable?"

"Yes! I'm sure!" Varga nodded without hesitation in response to Connor's question. Just as Connor was somewhat surprised by her certainty, Varga continued to explain:

"Old Victor assigned a senior wizarding apprentice named Roberto to guard Dr. Ivanka's private hospital, transport medicine to the hospital, and handle any trouble. Roberto was Old Victor's true confidant; Old Victor had personally promoted him from a junior wizarding apprentice, so Old Victor trusted him greatly and often entrusted him with important tasks!"

"Roberto practices a very special technique that requires a potion called Abiol to aid his cultivation. Although the secret society distributes a certain amount of Abiol potion to him every month, it only covers his most basic needs and cannot support his full-fledged cultivation. So he asked me for help, and the Abiol potion is nothing to me, so I helped him out!"

"Therefore, Roberto has always been very grateful to me. In addition, since I have a pretty good position in the Society, Roberto has never hidden anything that happens in the Society from me. He was the one who told me about Martina and Tusam's discord!"

After listening to Varga's description, Connor nodded silently. If that was the case, then the news about Martina and Tusam's discord was quite reliable. Could it be that he was wrong, and Martina was the mastermind behind it all?

Just as Connor was lost in thought, Varga seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Connor with some confusion, "Connor, you ran into Joanna, and she told you to find me in the Verona community?"

Varga's question brought Connor back to his senses. He nodded and said, "That's right! I was worried about you since you didn't come, so I disguised myself and went to Dr. Ivanka's private hospital. There I met your assistant, Joanna. She looked like an ordinary person, but she's very capable. She saw through my disguise and even tried to trick me into going inside your hospital, so I quickly slipped away!"

"Of course!" Hearing Connor say Joanna was amazing, Varga seemed unsurprised. She gave Connor a mysterious smile and then whispered, enunciating each word clearly, "Joanna is a spy Old Victor sent to my side!"

"Old Victor doesn't trust you?" Connor frowned slightly upon hearing Joanna's use of the word "spy," and asked Varga with some concern:

Shrugging at Connor, Varga said with a hint of helplessness, "Connor, you should ask, when has old Victor ever trusted me? Old Victor doesn't trust any apothecary. When Professor Gulsi was still alive, he used me to keep Gulsi in check. Now that Gulsi is dead, in Dr. Ivanka's private hospital, he's using this old woman, Ivanka, to keep me in check, and then he sent Joanna to keep an eye on me!"

Vargara paused for a moment, then winked playfully at Connor and said, "Connor, you're saying Joanna is an ordinary person? You're mistaken! How could Old Victor plant an ordinary person as a spy by my side? Her being an ordinary person is just an illusion. Old Victor used some very magical methods to conceal Joanna's magical fluctuations in order to lower my guard. In reality, Joanna is a novice wizard apprentice!"

"On the surface, Joanna has a boyfriend named Fernandez, with whom she has been in love for many years and is about to get married. I have secretly investigated and found that it is true that Joanna and Fernandez have been in love for many years, and Fernandez's status as her boyfriend is also true. However, Joanna's boyfriend, Fernandez, has no idea that his fiancée Joanna has become a witch and has joined an organization like the Secret Society. He is still foolishly preparing to marry Joanna."

"And more importantly, besides pretending to be sweet with Fernandez on the surface, Joanna has actually been having an affair with Roberto, who's in charge of guarding the hospital, in order to obtain more cultivation resources!" At this point, a look of disdain appeared on Varga's pretty face, seemingly expressing her utter contempt for her assistant Joanna's two-timing and infidelity.

Seeing that Varga had such a sound moral compass in this matter, Connor nodded silently, feeling deeply gratified. At the same time, he also silently mourned for three seconds for Joanna, her boyfriend Mr. Fernandez, who was still kept in the dark.

"Old Victor doesn't trust you that much, so does that mean he also had people set up your residence in the Verona community to monitor the enchanted items?" After saying that, Connor took out the silver ring, metal cube, and crystal bead that he had found in Varga's residence from his spatial ring and placed them in front of Varga.

"Were these found in my residence in the Verona community?" Varga asked, a look of surprise and doubt in her eyes as she saw the things Connor had escaped.

"That's right! The crystal bead is in the door frame, the silver ring is in the fireplace, and the metal block is in the sofa!" Connor nodded and explained.

Upon hearing Connor's explanation, Varga's eyes flashed with doubt. After a moment's thought, she explained to Connor, "This house in the Verona community was bought for me by the Secret Society. I don't usually live there; I only use it occasionally. However, about three months ago, I discovered some surveillance equipment in the house. I went directly to Old Victor. Although Old Victor didn't admit to installing these things, he promised me that there wouldn't be any more surveillance equipment in that house..."
