Wizard Earl

Chapter 692 Three Women

"Margaret, I really didn't expect you to come too..."

Turning to look at the mysterious man's face hidden beneath his black raincoat, Martina's expression turned bitter, and she spoke softly:

Seeing that Martina had recognized her, Margaret stopped trying to hide herself and pulled down the hood of her raincoat, exposing her beautiful face to Martina's view.

"Speak, Margaret, what do you want to know from me?" Martina raised her hand slightly and said very straightforwardly.

Martina had investigated Margaret before in her attempt to hunt her down, and having also had a brief encounter at the Zaka textile factory, she had a deep impression of Margaret. Therefore, upon hearing Margaret's voice, Martina immediately recognized her. Martina was well aware of Margaret's current injuries, and this was equally clear to Margaret. The fact that Margaret didn't immediately attack her upon seeing her wasn't because Margaret remembered their agreement at the Zaka textile factory, but because Margaret wanted to extract information from her.

"First question, where is Connor now?" Seeing that Martina was so reasonable, Margaret didn't waste any words and asked Martina directly with a blank expression:

"I don't know!" Martina said helplessly, even though Margaret's question was expected.

Martina's answer clearly did not satisfy Margaret. A cold glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she said coldly to Martina, "Do you think this is the answer I want?"

Sensing the undisguised threat in Margaret's question, Martina's bitterness deepened. She shrugged and said, "I really don't know where Connor is. I was planning to sneak out to sea from here, but Connor caught up with me, and then old Victor followed. Connor and I separated, so now he's being hunted by old Victor. I don't know his exact location!"

As Martina spoke, she kept a close eye on Margaret's face. Under her observation, although Margaret remained expressionless, Martina caught a fleeting glint of tension and worry in Margaret's eyes when Martina mentioned "Connor being chased by old Victor." This strengthened Martina's conviction that the relationship between Connor and Margaret was more than just ordinary, and very likely... that kind of relationship.

Realizing this, Martina's mind immediately started working. She felt she had found a hope for her own survival. After hesitating for a moment, Martina tentatively said to Margaret, "Margaret, don't worry. Connor's relationship with old Victor is very complicated. Old Victor might hurt him, but I don't think he'll kill Connor!"

Hearing Martina's words, Margaret seemed to realize the probing meaning in Martina's words. She raised an eyebrow and asked Martina with a half-smile, "You seem to know a lot about Connor?"

"Of course! Margaret, you may not know this, but my elder is Conti, the former number three figure in the Secret Society," Martina said without hesitation, demonstrating her value to Margaret. Margaret's reply excited her greatly. As long as Margaret cared and took the bait, she had a great chance of saving her life.

"Tell me, what can you tell me?" Margaret asked.

"I wonder if Connor has told you about him and Varga?" Martina said meaningfully to Margaret after a moment's thought. When she said "Varga," Martina emphasized the name, as if afraid that Margaret would not feel the significance of the name.

"who is she?"

At this moment, although Margaret knew that the woman in front of her was deliberately trying to attract her attention in order to gain more leverage for her own survival, the name "Varga," which sounded like a woman's name, and the connection between this woman and Connor, still firmly held Margaret's attention!

"She was Connor's classmate at Green University. This woman was able to join the Secret Society and receive its cultivation resources thanks to Connor's introduction. Therefore, she is very grateful to Connor and has been providing him with various potions without asking for anything in return!" Martina paused here, then looked Margaret over and said, word by word, "Of course, Varga and Connor also have a little-known relationship: Varga is Connor's woman!"

The moment Martina finished speaking, Margaret's breathing became heavy, her beautiful eyes turned icy cold, and her hands clenched into fists, the white knuckles clearly visible...

Although Margaret had already sensed from her previous interactions with Connor that if a female pharmacist was secretly supplying him with large quantities of potions, their relationship must be more than just friendship, she could still deceive herself until Martina confirmed it. She believed that Connor and the female pharmacist were simply using each other, not having a romantic relationship. But now that Martina's words had shattered that illusion, Margaret could no longer keep up the self-deception.

Noticing Margaret's expression of wanting to tear the mistress apart upon hearing the name "Varga," Martina remained outwardly quiet, but inwardly she was secretly pleased and felt a growing disdain for Margaret. In her eyes, it was still uncertain whether Margaret or Varga was the mistress in Connor's eyes!

Although the name "Varga" kept replaying in Margaret's mind, making her feel terrible, she calmed down after a minute. She tossed a fist-sized crystal ball to Martina from her spatial ring and coldly said, "Draw Varga's face in this crystal ball!"

After weighing the crystal ball Margaret had given her, Martina did not immediately follow Margaret's instructions to depict Varga's appearance in the crystal ball. Instead, she looked at Margaret and said, "Varga is a potion genius, so to protect her, when she first joined the Secret Society through Connor's introduction, the Society's professor personally gave her a magical item called the Eusebio Mask."
