Wizard Earl

Looking at Arbeloa who had fainted on the ground, Connor shook his head slightly. Although the soul search had not yet begun, after listening to Arbeloa's account, Connor already had a basic idea of ​​the outcome. However, out of caution, he still wanted to complete this final procedure!

Connor retrieved a pink pill from his spatial ring and had Arbeloa swallow it. After taking protective measures for Arbeloa, Connor placed one hand on Arbeloa's head. Then, with a thought, countless black mists emerged from his hand and attacked the unconscious Arbeloa lying on the ground.

These mysterious black mists entered Arbeloa's head through his nose and ears. As the mists entered, Arbeloa's face, still unconscious, began to contort violently in pain. Just then, the pink pill Connor had given Arbeloa earlier began to take effect, significantly reducing the pain in Arbeloa's head. Although his face was still somewhat distorted, it was noticeably less severe than before.

Seeing this, Connor did not hesitate and directly used his mental power to invade Arbeloa's divine sea. As an ordinary intermediate wizard apprentice, Arbeloa's divine sea defense was basically non-existent under Connor's mental power invasion. However, in order not to damage Arbeloa's divine sea, Connor still put in some extra effort before entering Arbeloa's divine sea and began to examine Arbeloa's memories.

Twenty minutes later, after reviewing Arbeloa's memories and carefully examining Arbeloa's divine sea to confirm there were no problems, Connor ended the soul search on Arbeloa. Then, with a thought, he entered the black mist in Arbeloa's head and emerged again, returning to Connor's body.

Connor glanced at Arbeloa, who was still unconscious on the ground, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. He had thoroughly investigated Arbeloa through soul searching and found that he was indeed the lucky guy who had obtained the Wizard Meditation Method by sheer luck and embarked on the path of pursuing truth, just as he had said. He had nothing to do with the Secret Society.

Although Arbeloa has been cleared of suspicion, Connor is even more confused. If it's not Arbeloa, then who is the mole that Reyes planted in the Ferguson family?

Just as Connor was lost in thought, Arbeloa, who was lying on the ground, finally woke up from his coma. Although he was awake, Arbeloa felt a splitting headache, as if his head was about to explode.

Upon seeing that Arbeloa had woken up, Connor immediately took out two vials of potion from his spatial ring and tossed them to Arbeloa, gesturing for him to drink them. Although he didn't know what the mysterious black-robed wizard was making him drink, Arbeloa, already tormented by a headache and feeling restless, didn't care and simply drank both vials in one gulp.

After taking the medicine, Arbeloa felt a refreshing coolness rising from his stomach, and his headache was significantly relieved. Seeing this, Arbeloa quickly thanked Connor, saying, "Thank you for the medicine, sir!"

In response to Arbeloa's thanks, Connor simply waved his hand and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Upon hearing the name of the mysterious black-robed wizard before him, Arbeloa was momentarily at a loss for words. After a moment's thought, he gritted his teeth and answered truthfully, "The Ferguson family is utterly corrupt. I've accumulated quite a bit of money over the years and plan to take my wife and children to another city!"

"Don't go!" Connor said calmly, his eyes narrowing slightly upon hearing Arbeloa's plan. Though his voice was flat, it sounded like an unquestionable command to Arbeloa. Just as Arbeloa was inwardly groaning, Connor suddenly spoke again: "Arbeloa, you're a smart man. I'm sure you're starting to wonder who I am and what I want with you, right? Do you have the answers to those two questions now?" With that, Connor's ambiguous smile swept over Arbeloa.

Seeing that the black-robed wizard had immediately seen through his thoughts, Arbeloa was shocked, as if struck by lightning. After hesitating for a long time, he still shook his head at Connor with a wry smile, indicating that he could not think of the answer to the question.

"I am Connor Ferguson!" Seeing Arbeloa's frankness, Connor stopped beating around the bush and spoke directly:

Upon hearing the mysterious black-robed wizard in front of him claim to be Connor Ferguson, the young master who had left the Ferguson family ten years ago, Arbeloa, who had been smiling bitterly just a moment ago, was now completely shocked and speechless, staring at Connor Ferguson in disbelief.

Feeling Arbeloa's gaze, Connor immediately let out a cold snort of displeasure. This snort did not wake the others in the villa, but Arbeloa, who was very close to Connor, felt as if a large bell was ringing in his ear. He immediately covered his head and took several steps back before he could barely steady himself.

"I've seen all your memories. You've been exploiting the Ferguson family for so many years, and I won't ask you for the money you've swallowed. But I want you to earn 10,000 gold pounds for the family through the Ferguson Minerals Distribution Company within a year, and double the revenue within three years!" Connor said in a deep voice, looking at Arbeloa.

Although Arbeloa had received considerable benefits behind the backs of the Ferguson family, Connor decided not to kill him after discovering that he was not a Secret Society spy and posed virtually no threat to him.

This is partly because even though Arbeloa profited from the family behind their backs, he wasn't the main culprit. Without him, the old folks in the Ferguson family, who were nominally elders but were actually parasites, would have found someone else to replace Arbeloa. On the other hand, Arbeloa was a capable person. Despite the family elders' meddling, the Ferguson Minerals Distribution Company hadn't suffered any losses and was still able to provide the family with a stable amount of funds every year, for which Arbeloa deserves credit.

Killing Arbeloa would be easy; Connor could kill him on the spot with a single thought. But what would happen to Ferguson Minerals Distribution Company after Arbeloa was killed?

Where can Connor find a general manager who understands Ferguson Minerals Distribution Company and has certain capabilities?

Can't Connor do it himself?

Even if Connor himself were to take charge, he had never managed a business before, had no experience, and didn't know how to do it.
