Wizard Earl

Chapter 640 Jealousy in Robert's Eyes

Roberto's introduction immediately piqued his interest in the crystal ball in his hand, known as the Mystic Spirit Orb. Although he was now an advanced wizard apprentice, his mental power detection range was limited to only two or three hundred meters due to his lack of proficiency in mental strength. Moreover, his concealment was also poor; often, he would discover the other party, and the other party would also discover him. So, hearing Old Victor say that this Mystic Spirit Orb could allow him to observe the situation a kilometer away with great concealment, he was really eager to try it out!

However, just as Roberto was getting excited about the Mystic Pearl, old Victor's next words poured cold water on his enthusiasm.

"The Secret Spirit Pearl has a very strong effect, but it also consumes a lot of the user's mental energy. With your cultivation level, Roberto, you can only use it for a maximum of three minutes a day, and the interval between two uses should not be less than twelve hours." Old Victor's cold water was poured on Roberto very thoroughly, instantly extinguishing most of the interest in Roberto's eyes.

Old Victor paid no heed to Roberto's enthusiasm, continuing to instruct him: "Use this Secret Spirit Pearl to observe carefully. Combine it with the portrait and identity information of Connor that I taught you. This little fellow, Connor Ferguson, is quite skilled in disguise, and he often doesn't show his true face. Therefore, his portrait can only be used as a reference; don't judge him entirely based on it. Although Connor's disguise skills are impressive, his habits and characteristics cannot be changed!"

Thinking of this, old Victor seemed to realize something, and said to Roberto with a serious expression, "Roberto, didn't you say that on the day Varga was attacked by Tusam, a person who appeared to be a high-ranking wizard went to Dr. Ivanka's private hospital?"

"Yes! That mysterious man was incredibly powerful. As soon as he arrived at the hospital, he said he had an appointment with Varga to see her. Joanna realized something was wrong with him and tried to get him inside the hospital, but he wasn't fooled at all and slipped away immediately. I sent Stam to follow him, but he easily shook him off!" Although he didn't know why old Victor would bring this up, Roberto still recounted the whole story.

After listening to Roberto's account, old Victor nodded slightly, then stared into Roberto's eyes and said, "I want you to take a good look at this mysterious man you're talking about. Is he really Connor Ferguson?"

Old Victor's question seemed to have confused Roberto somewhat, but having risen to the rank of advanced wizard apprentice, Roberto wasn't stupid. After pondering for a few dozen seconds, he immediately understood the meaning behind Old Victor's words. Under Old Victor's gaze, a look of shock appeared on his face, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he swallowed hard before tentatively asking Old Victor, "Butler Victor, do you mean... Dr. Varga is related to Connor Ferguson?"

Old Victor's aged face took on a half-smile as he slowly said, "Is it related? It's more than just related. Varga's identity was kept very secret in our secret society before, so I didn't tell you. But revealing some information to you now is fine! Roberto, do you know which school Connor Ferguson attends?"

"History Department, Green University!" Roberto replied without hesitation. Old Victor had already handed over all the information on Connor within his jurisdiction to him. Roberto took Connor Ferguson, this mysterious opponent, seriously and had already read through all the information, so he naturally knew which university Connor graduated from.

Old Victor gave Roberto an approving look. He asked this question to test whether Roberto had actually read Connor's file carefully. Roberto's immediate response pleased him somewhat. Clearing his throat, Old Victor continued, "Connor Ferguson and Varga are both alumni of Green University, except Varga was studying medicine there. The two were good friends at Green University, and it was Connor Ferguson who guided Varga into joining the Secret Society. So, Roberto, do you think there's a connection between Varga and Connor Ferguson?"

Upon hearing this story about Connor and Varga, and seemingly realizing that their relationship was extraordinary, the burly Roberto lowered his head. Unnoticed by old Victor, a flicker of jealousy flashed in his blue eyes. He carefully chose his words and said in a low voice to old Victor, "Butler Victor, since you know that Dr. Varga and Connor Ferguson have a close relationship, why did you still…?"

"What else do you want? Do you want to nurture her and help her improve her pharmacology?" Although Roberto didn't finish his sentence, old Victor immediately understood his meaning. However, he didn't wait for Roberto's reply, but instead said directly, somewhat self-deprecatingly:

"That traitor Gulsi betrayed the professor and sold the potions to the royal faction. The evidence is irrefutable. How can I let her live? Without Gulsi, how can we possibly keep so many of our men who need potions for cultivation and healing? Even Roberto himself needs Abiol's potions to aid his cultivation. If it were just one or two bottles, we could buy them on the black market in Rune. But with our huge demand, even if we used all the potions from those black markets in Rune, it would only last for a while, not long!"

"To ensure the supply of potions, Ivanka is fine for stirring up internal strife, but letting her concoct potions is out of the question. The potions are of poor quality and the concoction speed is slow! We can only rely on Varga, so even though I know Varga and Connor have a close relationship, I can only turn a blind eye!" Perhaps in front of his trusted subordinates, he always...

"Butler Victor, I understand. I will carefully verify whether the person appearing in Ferguson's apartment is indeed Connor Ferguson!" A fleeting look of melancholy crossed Roberto's eyes as he nodded heavily to old Victor.

Seeing that there was nothing else to say, old Victor waved to Roberto, indicating that he could leave. Roberto respectfully bowed to old Victor again, then turned and left. However, just as Roberto had walked about ten meters away, he heard old Victor's faint voice again.

"Roberto, you're in charge of security at Dr. Ivanka's private hospital, and you've been in frequent contact with Dr. Varga. Have you discovered anything?"
