Wizard Earl

Chapter 646 Aunt Susan

Connor felt he had gained quite a bit from Margaret's account. First, he understood the feud between Margaret and old Victor, a question he had always wanted to clarify. Second, he had a clearer understanding of Margaret's strength. Frankly, in that split second of sensing Margaret's power, Connor quickly did a simple math problem in his mind: what were their chances of winning against old Victor if they combined their strengths, along with his and Margaret's?

60%!

This was Connor's answer to himself. The odds of winning were undoubtedly quite high, so Connor felt he could be a little bolder and not be overly cautious...

Just as Connor was beginning to plan how to deal with old Victor, Margaret's reaction to his question completely surprised him. Margaret shook her head, looked at Connor, and said softly, "I've waited so many years, I don't mind waiting a little longer, but if, as you suspect, Martina is the mastermind, then things aren't so simple, are they? I think Martina knows about your relationship with your source, right?"

Connor was taken aback. He was quite surprised that Margaret could be so rational and not blinded by hatred. After a moment of contemplation, Connor nodded and said, "Martina, you're right! My relationship with my source is no secret to Martina!"

"Connor, haven't you ever thought about why Martina, if she's the mastermind, would team up with Tusam? What's driving them to unite against you?" Margaret threw another very sharp question at Connor.

Connor frowned slightly upon hearing Margaret's question. To be honest, he hadn't really thought about the question Margaret asked. He was a results-oriented person. When he realized that Martina might be the mastermind, Connor didn't think about the reasons because it was meaningless and wouldn't change the outcome.

Martina wanted to kill Connor Ferguson. The fact that he had forced her to reveal her biggest secret to him in front of the Eye of Arbitration at the Zaka textile mill was enough for her to silence him. However, Connor subconsciously felt that if Martina was truly the mastermind behind the silencing of Tusam, her motives were likely more complex than simply eliminating him…

After thinking for a long time without any clue, Connor shook his head and said with some confusion, "I don't know. Perhaps it's because I know she's a spy for the Duke's faction and wants to silence me..."

After listening to Connor's speech, a mysterious smile appeared on Varga's beautiful face. Then, she parted her red lips and transmitted her voice to Connor. Upon hearing her voice transmission, Connor's initially confused eyes grew brighter and brighter...

"Dr. Varga, the first step of refining the Illusion Vine Potion is complete, and it has been sealed and stored in the freezer for you. The initial extraction of the Moro Potion is also complete, and it has been placed in your potion laboratory. And here is the fifty-year-old Schalok flower you requested. Please take a look!"

In a spacious, secluded room at the renowned Dr. Ivanka's Private Hospital at No. 38, Rue de la Chapelle, East Rue de la Chapelle, a middle-aged woman who appeared to be in her forties was holding a jade box with a fawning expression and handing it to a young girl in white who looked to be about the same age as her daughter, Rongpu, standing in front of her.

The girl in white, Varga, showed no sign of being flattered by the middle-aged woman's obsequiousness. She acted as if it were perfectly natural, glancing at the woman before taking the jade box from her hand. Varga gently pushed open the lid, revealing dozens of delicate, finger-length purple flowers. As the box was opened, a faint, peculiar fragrance wafted out…

Her gaze slowly swept over the dozens of small purple flowers in the jade box. Seeing that each of the purple flowers was extremely delicate and fresh, as if they had just been picked, Varga nodded in satisfaction. With a flick of her jade hand, she took out a bottle of brown potion from her spatial ring and tossed it to the middle-aged woman standing beside her.

Upon seeing the potion bottle tossed by Varga, the middle-aged woman's eyes lit up. She quickly caught the potion and, holding it, her face, which was etched with fine crow's feet, beamed with joy. She sincerely thanked Varga, saying, "Thank you so much, Dr. Varga! With this potion, my little one will definitely reach the level of a beginner wizard apprentice!"

Varga nodded noncommittally at the middle-aged woman's heartfelt gratitude, then casually inquired, "Aunt Susan, while I was away, did our Dean Ivanka do anything?"

Although Varga appeared nonchalant, the woman she was referring to, Aunt Susan, suddenly became serious, leaned close to Varga, and said mysteriously, "A week ago, Lord Roberto brought in a batch of ice swordfish bones to the hospital. There were about fifty sets of bones, stored in the second freezer compartment. When I checked yesterday, I found that twenty sets were missing!"

Although Aunt Susan didn't name names, Varga's eyes still flashed with disdain before she continued, somewhat unsurprised, "Besides that, what else did our Dean Ivanka do?"

Seeing that her words didn't seem to interest Varga, Aunt Susan thought for a moment and continued, "Aside from that, Dean Ivanka accepted some more bribes, but that's about it. However, Lord Roberto..."

Hearing the hesitation in Aunt Susan's voice, Varga didn't speak. Instead, she flipped her hand again, took out two magic stones from her spatial ring, and tossed them to Aunt Susan.

Catching the magic stone tossed to her by Varga, Aunt Susan's face lit up with joy again. She thanked Varga and then, without further hesitation, continued in a low voice, "Dr. Varga, yesterday morning, Lord Roberto spent an hour alone with Miss Joanna in room eleven before suddenly leaving the hospital!"
