Wizard Earl

Chapter 732 Luke Shaw, the blond young man (2)

The blond young man, Luke Shaw, stood still, his ears twitching slightly. After waiting for about ten seconds and seeing that he could no longer hear Kevin Souza's footsteps, he took out a small, crudely made black compass, no bigger than the palm of his hand, from his bag.

Luke Shaw gently flicked the silver needle of the black compass with his finger, and the silver needle immediately began to spin automatically. After circling the room about once, the silver needle pointed to the load-bearing wall of the room. Upon seeing this blond young man, Luke Shaw, a mocking smile appeared on his handsome face. He then took out a black button from his bag and stuck it to the load-bearing wall indicated by the compass. What happened next was bizarre: the black button that Luke Shaw had taken out slowly merged into the load-bearing wall under Luke Shaw's gaze.

As the black button merged into the load-bearing wall, a few seconds later the silver pointer of the black compass in Luke Shaw's hand stopped pointing at the load-bearing wall and fell silent.

Seeing this, Luke Shaw breathed a sigh of relief. Then she took out four blue steel balls from her pocket and placed them in the four corners of the room. As the four steel balls were placed, the guest room, which was only a dozen square meters, was silently covered with a soundproof barrier that shielded energy fluctuations.

Sensing the appearance of the barrier, Luke Shaw took out a crystal-clear amethyst ring from his pocket. Then, he placed the black compass, which was ten times the size of the amethyst ring, into the amethyst ring. It turned out that the amethyst ring was actually a spatial ring.

Luke Shaw carefully put away the black compass and placed the amethyst ring in his pocket. Then he turned his gaze back to the load-bearing wall where the black buttons had been integrated, muttering to himself, "Connor's alchemy is indeed quite skilled. The Church's listening devices, he took care of them so quickly..."

After sighing, Luke Shaw shook his head slightly and sat down in front of the wardrobe in the room. A full-length mirror was installed in the middle of the wardrobe. Looking at his young and handsome face in the mirror, Luke Shaw's eyes were somewhat complicated. After a long silence, he reached out his hand to his face. The next second, a mask as thin as a cicada's wing was revealed. Luke Shaw peeled it off his face, and under the mask was Margaret's captivating and stunningly beautiful face.

Luke Shaw—no! It was Margaret—revealed her true identity, then took out a vial of potion from her amethyst ring and drank it. After drinking the potion, Margaret sat on the bed and began to meditate and digest its effects.

Since leaving Connor's safe house, Margaret had also gone into hiding, secretly cultivating to recover from her injuries. Only when she felt that her physical condition had improved did she put on her mask and come out of her hiding place.

Of course, although her physical condition has improved somewhat, the injuries that old Victor inflicted on Margaret with his life cannot be healed in a short time. With the current medication and treatment, Margaret will need at least another year and a half to recover. Fortunately, however, the most serious injuries on Margaret have already been treated by Varga, and now it is just some post-injury recovery work, which is not enough to threaten Margaret's life.

If it weren't for something extremely important, Margaret would have left Rune long ago to find a safe, secluded place to recuperate and heal her injuries, instead of showing herself in Rune again. Margaret wasn't stupid; she knew very well who old Victor was and what the consequences of killing him would be. Margaret also knew that, under the covert influence of that professor from the Secret Society, all the Storm Church wizards in Rune were probably already searching high and low for her. To be honest, Margaret had already mentally prepared herself for what would happen to her once she was found!

This is precisely why Margaret chose to stay at the Kevin Hotel, primarily for her own safety! To be honest, even now, Margaret isn't alone in Rune because of Cardinal Elena. If she wanted, she could still find some helpers and hiding places. However, the current situation forces Margaret to be cautious. After some thought, she decided not to use these connections. In fact, before even making a move against Old Victor, she had already secretly sent her best friend, Leonie, the manager of the Imperial Department Store's Jennifer Lingerie boutique, away from Rune.

Margaret did this not because she didn't believe in these relationships, but because although the relationships were very secretive, they were ultimately connected to the Storm Church through Cardinal Elena. Given Lena's abilities, which controlled the intelligence agency of the Storm Church, it was only a matter of time before they were exposed. With this in mind, Margaret decided to hide at Kevin's Inn.

Margaret clearly remembered that the Kevin Inn, located in the northern suburbs of Rune, was actually a little-known secret stronghold of the Church of Storms in Rune. This secret stronghold was disguised as an inn, but in reality, it was one of the meeting places for the Church's mobs planted by various forces in Rune.

As for the short, stout middle-aged man who claimed to be the manager of the Kevin Hotel, "Kevin Sosa," he looked like an ordinary, somewhat shrewd middle-aged man. However, Margaret, who had seen top-secret files about him and the Kevin Hotel in the church's secret archives with the help of Cardinal Elena's intelligence network, knew very well that "Kevin Sosa" was just his alias.

His real name is Musa Dembele. He is 46 years old this year. He joined the church at the age of 16 and it took him 30 years to climb from the bottom to his current position. He is a mid-level leader in the intelligence agency of the Church of Rune, and his job is to obtain intelligence from the contacts who come to Kevin's Hotel and then pass it back to the intelligence agency of the Church of Rune.

Although Musa Dembele is not a wizard, he possesses the strength of a Grand Knight. Under normal circumstances, a dozen or so armed strongmen cannot get close to him. In this Kevin Inn, in addition to Musa Dembele, all the staff, including three waiters and two chefs, are members of the intelligence agency of the Church of Rune, and all of them have received special training from the Church of Storms!
