Wizard Earl

Chapter 773 Untitled

After installing several alchemical devices in the courtyard for surveillance and early warning, Connor noticed the curiosity in Varga's eyes. Without hiding anything, Connor explained to Varga, "When I was sixteen, our family's old butler, Martinez, brought me here alone!"

"This is a safe house for the Ferguson family. In case of any unforeseen circumstances, core family members can have a secluded and safe place to stay after leaving the Ferguson mansion!"

"Varga, the reason we chose to stay at the Grand Hotel Agudero instead of coming here is because our family members come here to check on us from time to time."

Hearing Connor's words and realizing that he had revealed their family secrets to her, Varga felt a surge of sweetness in her heart and solemnly promised Connor, "I will not reveal this place to anyone!"

Connor simply nodded at Varga's statement. Looking at Varga, who was still pale and sickly despite having taken the medicine, Connor felt a pang of guilt for his plan going awry. After a moment's hesitation, he told Varga everything that had happened that day, without holding anything back.

After listening carefully to Connor's story, Varga pondered for a moment and then asked Connor softly, "So, Connor, are you planning to go find the general manager of your family's product distribution company?"

"Hmm! At the moment, Arbeloa should be the only lead we have!" Connor nodded and said with a slightly bitter tone. If it weren't for Isabella's incident today, according to his planned schedule, he should be at his home in Villa No. 7 in the Arbeloa Bruno community right now, having a good talk with Arbeloa.

"Connor, didn't you install listening devices in your family? Didn't you find anything from within your own family?" Varga asked again.

"A lot of information! But basically nothing of value. The most valuable thing is probably my third uncle's wife. In order to make sure my third uncle inherits our family's earldom, she's trying to persuade him to scrape together 10,000 gold pounds to hire a bunch of assassins to kill me the moment I show up in Frosinone!" Connor said, somewhat amused and exasperated, thinking about this.

Last night, after Eugenia revealed her plot to her husband Jack Ferguson, Connor's third uncle, Jack Ferguson, perhaps because he still had some familial ties, or perhaps because he had not yet been completely consumed by greed, or perhaps because he was afraid of being exposed, did not immediately agree to Eugenia's plan, but only said that he needed to think about it carefully.

Connor already had a plan in mind regarding Eugenia and Jack Ferguson. If Jack Ferguson ultimately agreed to Eugenia's idea and actually raised 10,000 pounds to hire an assassin to kill him, it would mean that Jack Ferguson and Eugenia had completely stood on the opposite side of him and become his enemies. And Connor never showed any mercy to his enemies!

However, if Jack Ferguson ultimately chooses to give up, Connor, despite his ruthless nature, wouldn't mind giving his blood relative a chance to reform.

While Varga was surprised by what Connor said, power struggles within noble families were nothing new in the Kaman Empire. Knowing Connor's personality well, and understanding that he probably already had a plan, Varga didn't say anything more. After a moment of contemplation, she looked up and softly asked Connor, "Since you're going to find Arbeloa, shall I investigate your family's deputy butler, Danilo?"

"You're going to investigate Danilo? Varga, do you suspect Danilo is involved in something?" Connor asked Varga, somewhat puzzled. If he remembered correctly, there was nothing suspicious about Danilo in the detective report given to him by Kurzawa.

In response to Connor's question, Varga nodded slightly and explained, "Although Kurzawa's report didn't find anything suspicious about Danilo, he does wield considerable power within your family and is the successor to your family's head butler, Martinez. I think it's better to be cautious. If the investigation is thorough, you can trust him to work with you in the future, Connor. What do you think, Connor?"

After carefully considering Varga's statement, Connor felt it made a lot of sense, and said, "The investigation is fine, but Varga, your current physical condition..."

Although Connor seemed hesitant to speak at the end, his concern for Varga's injuries was evident in his words.

"Connor, don't worry. Although I said I would investigate him, I didn't say I would investigate him now. With the help of the potion, my injuries will be healed in just two days!" Varga said softly with a smile.

After Varga's explanation, Connor nodded slightly in relief. After thinking for a moment, he took out two very well-packaged jade boxes from his spatial ring and handed them to Varga.

Seeing Connor hand over the two jade boxes, Varga, realizing what was inside, didn't immediately take them. Instead, she politely declined, saying, "Ferguson bombs, Connor, you didn't make many yourself. Keep these two for self-defense. The King's faction and your teacher Reyes are mainly after you. As long as I don't reveal my identity, I won't be in any danger!"

Although Varga refused his offer, Connor remained domineering and, disregarding her refusal, placed the two jade boxes containing the "Ferguson Bombs" directly into Varga's hands, stating unequivocally, "While the Ferguson Bombs are difficult to forge, I can forge them anytime I have the materials. Moreover, while the Ferguson Bombs are exceptionally powerful for advanced wizard apprentices, they are somewhat useless for first-level wizards."

"Moreover, I've already reached the level of spiritual materialization, and my strength is advancing by leaps and bounds. The Ferguson bombs are no longer of much use to me. Only in Varga's hands can these two Ferguson bombs be used to their fullest potential!"

I've specially reinforced these two Ferguson bombs. Used in conjunction with the smoke bombs I gave you earlier, even if you encounter a level one wizard, Varga, you'll have a chance to escape! Only then can I confidently let you operate alone in Rossino!
