Wizard Earl

Chapter 735 The Nightingale Appears

This was probably completely unexpected for her, and Margaret seemed a little flustered. However, Margaret had seen a lot in her life, and in just a second, she regained her composure from the fluster, and a look of doubt appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Regardless of where Kevin Souza discovered his weakness, whether he confirmed or suspected that he was Margaret, as a seasoned veteran who had worked in the intelligence agency for decades, he should not have sent Anna to monitor him, because that would have alerted the enemy!

If Kevin Souza suspects his identity and sends Anna to the next room to spy on him, then Kevin Souza will definitely realize that if he truly is the person Kevin suspects, then as a wizarding apprentice, he will surely discover Anna's presence next door. Realizing the danger, he will only have two choices: either immediately flee from the Church of Storms' pursuit, or take control of everyone in the inn. Neither of these options is clearly what Kevin Souza wants.

If Kevin Souza truly believed or suspected that he was Margarita, the correct course of action would have been to pretend he hadn't noticed anything, trying to lull himself into a false sense of security, while simultaneously sending someone to headquarters for support. He should never have done what he's doing now, sending someone to the room next door to spy on him.

Realizing the problem, Margaret's tense expression relaxed somewhat. After thinking for a while, she realized that the situation was likely that although she had consciously stayed at the Kevin Hotel in advance to avoid Kevin Sosa's attention, Kevin Sosa was also very nervous because "Nightingale" was about to arrive for a meeting. In the end, he still noticed her and sent this woman named Anna to the room next to hers to keep an eye on her.

Just as Margaret was pondering a solution, an unexpected situation arose: a woman wearing a green dress, with an elegant demeanor, a tall figure, and delicate features, was walking unsteadily towards the Kevin Hotel under the cover of darkness.

The woman heading towards Kevin's Hotel was immediately detected by Margaret's mental energy as she approached within fifty meters of the hotel. Upon seeing the woman, a hint of suspicion flashed in Margaret's eyes.

In Margaret's eyes, although the woman was very beautiful, it was obvious from her face that she was no longer young. Combined with her attire, this woman should be the lady of a wealthy family in Rune. Logically speaking, such a noblewoman would definitely have someone accompanying and serving her when she went out, and would never go out alone. So why was she in such a hurry to come to a small hotel like the Kevin Hotel, which was located in such a remote area in the northern suburbs of Rune?

While this was suspicious, it wasn't the most perplexing aspect of the woman for Margaret. Under Margaret's mental observation, she could clearly see that the noblewoman in the green dress was in dire physical condition. Her unsteady gait was largely due to a leg injury, and her body was extremely weak. Furthermore, judging from her haggard and tired appearance, she seemed to have walked a long way to get here.

What surprised and puzzled Margaret the most was that, subconsciously, she felt this noblewoman looked somewhat familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere before. However, due to the passage of time, her memory was somewhat hazy; she only felt an impression of the noblewoman but couldn't recall who she was.

Just as Margaret sat on the bed, racking her brains trying to figure out who this woman was, the elegantly dressed woman in a long green dress finally entered Kevin's Hotel. Kevin Sosa, the intelligence chief, was already waiting in the hotel lobby, equally puzzled by the woman's sudden arrival…

Watching the lady enter the hotel, Kevin Sosa controlled his expression, then walked over with a beaming smile and said, "Hello, madam, I am Kevin Sosa, the manager here. Are you here to stay or for a meal?"

Stepping into Kevin's Hotel, the elegant woman in the green dress seemed to feel a sense of security. The anxiety on her refined face immediately diminished considerably. Upon hearing Kevin Sosa's question, she gave him a deep look and, without hesitation, said, "A meal! Give me a Hartman Set Meal made with the Hartman fish that was just caught today!"

Hartman fish is a specialty of the port city of Rune. It has few bones and lots of meat, and its delicious taste makes it popular with the people of Rune and the surrounding areas. Every day, large numbers of Hartman fish are caught by Rune's fishermen and transported to restaurants and markets throughout Rune. However, it is late at night now, and the Hartman fish that this lady mentioned was just caught today should still be in the sea, either in the hands of the fishermen. It is impossible for it to have been transported to this remote Kevin Hotel so quickly. Clearly, this lady's request is extremely unreasonable.

However, when Kevin Souza, the hotel manager, heard the lady's request, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes subconsciously narrowed. He also sized up the lady before him, and then said in a deep voice, "No problem. May I ask if you would like curry or tomato flavor, madam?"

"No! I want the original Hartman fish set meal!" The noblewoman said without thinking under Kevin Sosa's gaze. After speaking, she actually took out a silver necklace from her pocket and put it around her neck. The pendant on the silver necklace was a lifelike carving of a nightingale!

Upon hearing the noblewoman's response to his code and seeing the token she wore around her neck, Kevin Sosa frowned. Without saying a word, he simply closed the door of his inn tightly and gestured to the noblewoman before him—Nightingale, the rumored mole of the Storm Church hidden within the Valenciva Merchant Guild—to follow him to the room next door.

A minute later, Kevin Sosa brought Nightingale to a secret room in the hotel. After entering the room, Kevin Sosa scrutinized the "Nightingale" who had come to meet him with a critical eye.
