Wizard Earl

Chapter 658 Connor's Plan

Hearing Margaret's hesitant question, Connor replied without hesitation, "It's normal that you didn't see it. This is a method my mentor invented thirty years ago. First, the Green Shadow Grass is steamed at high temperature for six hours, then the essence is extracted and purified using the MacSimon extraction method. Then, the extracted and purified essence of the Green Shadow Grass is frozen at low temperature, and this process is repeated three times..."

Realizing his slip of the tongue, Connor abruptly stopped speaking. Margaret, upon hearing Connor utter the word "mentor," immediately brightened her eyes and looked directly at Connor. Clearly, Margaret was very interested in this "mentor" Connor spoke of.

A brief silence fell between them. After a few minutes, seeing Margaret's large eyes still fixed intently on him, Connor gave a wry smile and said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Margaret, I can't tell you about this yet, at least not now!"

Connor's refusal immediately brought a look of disappointment to Margaret's beautiful face, but since Connor didn't want to talk about it, she couldn't press him. She could only lower her head, force a smile, and shake her head at Connor, saying, "It's okay!"

Although Margaret expressed her understanding, both of them fell silent, creating an awkward atmosphere. Seeing this, Margaret thought for a moment and broke the silence, asking Connor, "Connor, what are your next plans regarding Martina?"

Upon hearing Margaret mention this, Connor, who already had a premonition, didn't hesitate and said directly, "Now that we know Martina is the mastermind, I plan to find out where Martina is hiding!"

"So you plan to get rid of her first?" After hearing Connor's words, Margaret nodded and said:

"No!" Connor rejected Margaret's idea, then smiled mysteriously and said to Margaret, "After discovering where Martina was staying, I planned to remain inactive and observe the situation!"

"Connor, do you intend to let Martina go?" Margaret seemed extremely puzzled by Connor's statement and asked with some surprise:

"Of course not. Martina dug such a huge pit for me, how could I let her off so easily? But Margaret, do you remember what Martina just said?" Connor's eyes gleamed as he reminded Margaret:

Connor's comment seemed to make Margaret realize something. She thought for a moment and then recalled, "Connor, are you saying that after Martina discovered I was using blood witchcraft, she said I was sent by old Victor?"

"That's right! Margaret, you are using blood witchcraft, but why does Martina immediately associate blood witchcraft with old Victor sending someone to kill her?" Connor continued, a hint of excitement appearing in his eyes.

"Martina and old Victor have a very tense relationship! Connor, as you said before, old Victor wasn't unaware that Martina was a spy for the Duke's faction; he even sent Tusam to investigate Martina!" Upon hearing this, Margaret instantly understood Connor's meaning and said with a hint of surprise:

"That should be the case, otherwise Martina wouldn't be so easily frightened!" Connor nodded confidently, then couldn't help but continue, "Margaret, guess what Martina's next move will be after she mistakenly believes you were sent by old Victor to kill her?"

Seeing that Connor was going to test her, Margaret rolled her eyes at him, but still couldn't help but think it over and said, "It's obvious. If I were Martina, and I found out that old Victor wanted to kill me, I would never go back to old Victor's nose. I would find a safe place to hide!"

Connor smiled and nodded at Margaret's analysis, then added, "And old Victor, who discovered Martina's disappearance, naturally won't simply let her go. He'll definitely search for her, and that's our opportunity!"

"Margaret carries my mental coordinates. As long as we find Martina first, and then wait for old Victor to find Martina, we can sit back and watch old Victor and Martina fight it out, and then we can reap the benefits!" Connor confidently explained his plan to Margaret.

···············

Just as Connor was reaping the benefits of his plan, in a secluded room of a two-story villa called Semedo Mansion in the Zelinski neighborhood of Lewandowski Avenue in the western part of the Ruen district, a woman named Martina with a cold and aloof demeanor and a pale face was sitting on the floor meditating. In front of Martina were three or four empty potion bottles, suggesting that Martina's current physical condition was not very good and that she had suffered some injuries.

At this moment, Martina was cultivating, and some icy white mist gathered around her. This mist changed and churned with Martina's breathing. After a while, Martina's pale face gradually became flushed, and her breathing became more even. Half an hour later, Martina seemed to sense something and ended her cultivation. The icy mist around her body slowly dissipated.

Martina pointed at the concrete wall of the secret room, and a bronze mirror popped out from the wall. The bronze mirror automatically showed a circle of water ripples. After the ripples rippled for a few seconds, a clear picture appeared: a middle-aged white man in a gray suit, wearing a top hat, and with a refined appearance was standing outside the gate of the Semedo Mansion, rhythmically knocking on the door.

Martina seemed very familiar with and trusted this person, and breathed a sigh of relief. The wary look in her eyes disappeared. She pointed her jade finger at the bronze mirror, and the bronze mirror silently returned to the cement wall without any flaw. At the same time, the door of the Semedo Mansion was opened, and a refined-looking uncle entered the mansion.

Half a minute later, the middle-aged man, who had passed through without hindrance, entered the secret room where Martina was. Although Martina's appearance had improved considerably, the middle-aged man still noticed something from the empty potion bottle on the ground. His refined face immediately changed slightly, and he asked Martina with great surprise, "Martina, what happened? How did you get injured?"
