Wizard Earl

Chapter 648 Varga's Warning

Seeing Varga's strong reaction to his request, Roberto, whose face was already gloomy, became even more irritated. Without thinking, he directly asked Varga, "What's wrong, Varga? Are you so afraid of being misunderstood by that noble young master Connor Ferguson?"

Upon hearing Robert mention Connor's name, Varga's pupils constricted. Although she didn't know how Robert knew about her relationship with Connor, to prevent him from bluffing, Varga deliberately frowned and asked, feigning ignorance, "Connor Ferguson? Robert, what are you talking about?"

Roberto regretted his words almost immediately, but when he heard Varga trying to evade the issue again, his anger flared up once more. He stared intently at Varga and said in a deep voice, "Your classmate at Green University, the heir to the Ferguson family, the future Earl of the Empire, Connor Ferguson—Varga, are you trying to tell me you don't know him?"

Seeing that Roberto had explained Connor's identity in such detail, and knowing that she couldn't fool Roberto by pretending to be stupid, Varga took a deep breath and didn't answer Roberto's question immediately. Instead, she suddenly reached out and cast a spell, closing the door to the secret room.

Feeling the door close, silencing all conversations outside, the burly Roberto wore a self-deprecating smile. He'd told Varga to close the door, only to be met with her rebuke and suspicion. But the moment he mentioned Connor Ferguson, Varga, seemingly concerned, had proactively closed the door. The difference in treatment was truly stark. Roberto wasn't stupid; he'd been in the wizarding world for decades and knew perfectly well what Varga's sudden decision to close the door meant…

"Varga, you're only just recovering from your serious injuries; you can't beat me!" Looking at Varga's beautiful eyes flashing with murderous intent, Roberto, his heart filled with despair, shook his head with a bitter smile and said:

Seeing that Roberto had seen through her plan to kill him to cover it up, Varga's eyes changed slightly as she realized she had no chance to take advantage of the situation. Under normal circumstances, she might be able to defeat Roberto with her strength, but she would not be able to kill him. Moreover, she was just recovering from her serious injuries and her strength had not returned to its best state, so she was simply unable to kill Roberto.

After hesitating for a moment, Varga looked at Roberto and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Don't you want to know how I found out about this?" Without answering Varga's question, Roberto asked her with a wry smile:

"Will you tell me?" As if realizing that Roberto's visit meant no harm, Varga's tone became much less cold.

"Butler Victor told me everything about you and Connor!" Roberto said bluntly, without beating around the bush with Varga.

Upon hearing that Roberto's source was Old Victor, Varga's pretty face didn't show any emotion, but a glint appeared in her beautiful eyes. The mastermind behind her joining the Secret Society was the Professor, and Old Victor was the Professor's butler. He was the one who carried out many of the Professor's plans, so it was not surprising that Old Victor had some suspicions about her relationship with Connor.

"So, Roberto, you're here representing Butler Victor now?" Varga asked tentatively, looking at Roberto with a sudden realization.

Seeing that Varga was still testing him, Roberto could understand, but a chill still ran through him. He coldly retorted, "What do you think?"

"Roberto, what exactly are you trying to say?" Faced with Roberto's question, Varga paused for a moment before continuing:

"Butler Victor has begun to suspect your relationship with Connor Ferguson. Connor Ferguson is involved in a very important plan of the Professor. Even if you are of great value to the Society, supplying them with potions, believe me, once you are connected with Connor Ferguson, even if your contributions to the Society are doubled, Butler Victor will not show you any leniency. He will definitely eliminate you without hesitation!"

"Valga, I don't know how far things have progressed between you and that noble young master Connor Ferguson, but I want to say that noble young masters like Connor Ferguson have been playing around with countless women since they were young. They are masters of sweet talk, and how many girls have been seduced and then abandoned by such noble young masters? Varga, you must not be fooled by him..."

"Roberto, shut up!"

Roberto hadn't finished speaking, and was getting into it, preparing to continue, when Varga, fiercely protective of her husband, flashed a cold light in her beautiful eyes and rebuked Roberto:

Varga's rebuke was like icy seawater, extinguishing the flame in Roberto's heart and plunging him into an abyss of cold ice. Under Varga's icy gaze, Roberto fell silent for a full minute before raising his head to look at Varga again and saying, "Varga, I know I'm greedy and lustful, unworthy of you. I also know you look down on my subservience to Butler Victor. But what I want to say is, if you stay with Connor Ferguson, he will drag you to hell. He will kill you!"

"I was handpicked by Butler Victor. I know his strength and his methods. I know Connor Ferguson is under his control, and it won't be long before he dies at his hands. Varga, I don't want you to get hurt!"

Although Roberto's words were sincere and his affection was palpable, the "heartless" Varga seemed completely unmoved. Her gaze towards him remained icy, and even when Roberto mentioned that "Connor will inevitably die at old Victor's" hands, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Varga's eyes…

"Roberto, I swear if you ever mention Connor again, I'll kill you!" Varga said, emphasizing each word as she looked at Roberto.

"Valga, you have a very promising future in the Society. Can you stop being so short-sighted? You're a genius apothecary. Once you reach the pinnacle of high-level wizard apprenticeship, the Society will definitely do everything in its power to nurture you. Becoming a full-fledged wizard is practically a certainty. Why would you give up such a bright future for Connor Ferguson and even risk your life?" Varga's warning had no effect on Roberto. Roberto said, utterly disappointed:
