Wizard Earl

Chapter 755 Nighttime Visit to Ferguson's Mansion (1)

In the dead of night in the Hoffenheim neighborhood of Frosinone, Connor, dressed in a black robe and wearing a silver mask, looked at the massive building that was faintly visible in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became very complicated. A hundred meters ahead was the place where he remembered his childhood self, where he lived and grew up—Ferguson's Mansion.

Last night, Connor stayed up all night to finish crafting all the surveillance equipment he would be using. Connor did not dare to underestimate the abilities of his teacher Reyes. He knew very well that if he delayed his actions by one day, he would have to bear the risk of his and Varga's whereabouts being exposed for another day. Therefore, he decisively chose to sneak into his home, the Ferguson Mansion, which had been passed down through generations of the Ferguson family, tonight.

The Ferguson family has lived and thrived in Frosinone for centuries, owning numerous estates, villas, and other properties. However, the Ferguson family members primarily reside in the Ferguson Mansion and the Ferguson Estate on the western outskirts of Frosinone. The core members of the Ferguson family throughout history have lived in the Ferguson Mansion within the city, while other branches reside in the Ferguson Estate and other residences.

According to Connor's secret investigation of Ferguson's mansion over the past few days, the current residents of Ferguson's mansion are probably similar to those he left Frosinone in a fit of anger a dozen years ago and went to Loen. It is still old Ferguson and his third uncle Jack Ferguson's family of six, as well as the old butler Martinez and his wife, a team of twelve servants, grooms, ten maids, eight bodyguards, two gardeners, and five cooks.

As for Connor Ferguson's second uncle, Warren Ferguson, although he was also a core member of the Ferguson family in this generation, possessing the strength of a Grand Knight and being the strongest in the family's martial arts, managing the family's only armed force, the Knights, in place of the ailing elder Ferguson, his reputation within the Ferguson family was greatly damaged after his wife, Kelly Fabian, publicly confronted him during a family meeting, exposing his secret transfer of assets to their illegitimate child and tax evasion.

Although Warren Ferguson handled the matter cleanly and efficiently with the strong intervention of Sir Alex Ferguson, his reputation within the family, which had plummeted, never recovered. Furthermore, because of the incident, he harbored resentment towards his wife, Kelly Fabian, and their marriage was completely broken down, existing in name only. Therefore, he simply moved out of Ferguson Mansion and moved with the family knights to Ferguson Estate outside Frosinone.

After Warren Ferguson left Ferguson House, his wife Kelly Fabian, who was raising their child alone, found it meaningless to stay at Ferguson House. So she moved with their child, Kevin Ferguson, to a villa owned by the Ferguson family in the Falcao neighborhood. She rarely interacted with the Ferguson family anymore. From then on, the only remaining owners of Ferguson House were the Ferguson family and the Jack Fergensen family.

Later, the death of Conor Ferguson's mother, Catherine Francis, was met with anger from the younger Conor Ferguson, who believed it was due to his father, the elder Ferguson. As a result, the hot-blooded young Conor Ferguson chose to break away from the family's control and went to study history at the University of Loengreen. At this point, only the elder Ferguson and Jack Ferguson's family remained in the Ferguson mansion.

Although Connor was trying very hard to control his emotions, for some reason, looking at the Ferguson Mansion in his memory, he still felt a little nervous, even though he was already a first-level wizard.

Taking a deep breath, Connor calmed himself down and quickly moved towards the building in front of him without hesitation. The Hoffenheim community, where Ferguson's mansion was located, was a traditional aristocratic area of ​​Frosinone. More than a dozen noble families lived in this area, so to ensure the safety of the Hoffenheim community, even at this late hour, the X-soldiers still patrolled every half hour. Now, there was only one minute left before the next patrol of X-soldiers arrived. If Connor didn't make a move, he might run into the patrolling X-soldiers.

Of course, with Connor's current strength as a first-level wizard, let alone a patrol of X-soldiers, even if he encountered a group of wizard apprentices, it would only take him a minute or two to kill them. However, Connor's purpose this time was not to kill, but to quietly investigate the Ferguson family and find a way to uncover the mole that Reyes had planted in the Ferguson family. Under this purpose, running into the X-soldiers was ultimately not a good choice.

Following his memory of Ferguson Mansion, Connor arrived at one foot of the mansion's wall. He then leaped over the three-meter-high wall as if it were flat ground beneath his feet, landing inside the mansion. Looking at the meticulously manicured flowers, plants, and trees around him, Connor nodded slightly.

He had chosen the location correctly based on his memory of Ferguson's Mansion. Ferguson's Mansion hadn't changed much in the ten years he had been gone. He was currently in the small garden of Ferguson's Mansion. Three hundred meters ahead was the villa where old Ferguson lived, and five hundred meters to the left was the courtyard where his third uncle, Jack Ferguson, and his family lived. Three hundred meters behind were the bungalows where the grooms, servants, maids, and bodyguards lived, and near the bungalows were the stables and warehouses.

Without hesitation, Connor continued according to his plan, stealthily making his way to the left courtyard. Soon, the courtyard where Jack Ferguson's family lived came into view. Although it was late at night and everyone was sound asleep, Jack Ferguson's study was brightly lit. Connor's powerful mental energy could clearly sense that a middle-aged man and woman seemed to be discussing something in the study.

The middle-aged man and woman were quite a sight. The man was as strong as an ox, with short blond hair, and had an imposing presence. He also bore a resemblance to Connor's father, Sir Alex Ferguson. Although they hadn't seen each other for ten years, Connor recognized him immediately. This middle-aged man was none other than Sir Alex Ferguson's third brother, his uncle Jack Ferguson. At this moment, Jack Ferguson was sitting in a chair behind his desk, looking somewhat tired.
