Wizard Earl

After hesitating for another two or three seconds, Danilo finally made up his mind and walked towards the door to open it. However, after Danilo had only taken two steps, the person outside seemed to find him too slow and simply flicked his finger, opening the locked door and walking into the apartment that Danilo had rented.

Upon seeing the person in the black robe enter, although the person's face was partially obscured by the black robe, Danilo, who had seen countless portraits of Connor, could still recognize at a glance that the person was none other than Connor Ferguson, the heir of the Ferguson family.

Danilo was clearly unprepared for Connor's arrival, his face immediately filled with astonishment... However, he was also quite shrewd; under Connor's gaze, he quickly concealed his surprise within two seconds and cautiously asked, "Are you young master Connor?"

Seeing that Danilo wanted to put on an act with him, Connor felt a mix of disdain and amusement. Instead of getting straight to the point with Danilo, he smiled, nodded at him, and sat down on the sofa in Danilo's living room without saying anything more.

Seeing Connor smile and nod at him, Danilo, assuming it was a gesture of goodwill, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He then stood opposite Connor, who was sitting on the sofa, and said very respectfully, "I was wondering why Master's condition had stabilized these past few days and hadn't worsened. It turns out there's a telepathic connection between father and son. Master knew you, Young Master Connor, had returned to Frosinone, and his joy helped him overcome his illness. I think that once you and Master meet again, Master's condition might even improve!"

Hearing Danilo patting his horse, Connor sneered inwardly and looked at Danilo calmly, saying, "Danilo, I have a question I don't understand. Could you explain it to me?"

"I don't know what your question is about, Young Master Connor. I only attended high school for two years, and my knowledge level can't compare to yours. However, whatever your question is, I, Danilo, will do my best to answer it for you!" After a moment's thought, Danilo humbly addressed Connor.

Sensing the respect and humility in Danilo's words, Connor's expression gradually became playful. Then, under Danilo's gaze, Connor spoke, "What was the purpose of my teacher Reyes placing you in the family?"

Upon hearing Connor mention the name "Reyes," Danilo's expression changed drastically. However, even so, he seemed to want to struggle, pretending not to understand Connor's words, and forced a smile, saying, "Young Master Connor, you must be joking. I don't even know who your teacher Reyes is..."

Before Danilo could finish his explanation, Connor interrupted him, saying calmly, "Danilo, since you don't know who my teacher Reyes is, let me remind you of his other identity—a professor at the Secret Society!"

"This is your last chance, Danilo. I advise you to think it over carefully before giving me an answer, and don't make a decision you'll regret!"

Upon hearing Connor's words, Danilo realized his identity had been exposed. His expression shifted rapidly, turning red and then white. After considering for a minute, Danilo seemed to have made a decision. He sighed slightly, stopped pretending, and immediately said to Connor, "Young Master Connor, you are now a Level One Wizard. If you want to know anything, why don't you just use your Soul Reaper to search my soul?"

"Are you sure you want me to do this?" Seeing that Danilo's identity had been exposed and he had been outmaneuvered, Connor calmly asked:

Hearing Connor's words, Danilo seemed to have given up all pretense and no longer held back. He sat down on the sofa opposite Connor and said quite brazenly, "Young Master Connor, I've heard a bit about your deeds in the Secret Society. I don't believe that with your methods, even if I betrayed the Professor here, you would let me off the hook!"

"Danilo, you should know better than me that death isn't the worst thing." Looking at Danilo, Connor spoke in a cold, emotionless voice:

"That's right. For a psychic wizard like you, Young Master Connor, a quick death would be a luxury if I fell into your hands. But to you, Young Master Connor, I, Danilo, am nothing but a nobody. You don't care about my life at all. What you really want to know is what Professor Connor's purpose was in placing me in the Ferguson family!" Danilo said bluntly. He paused for a moment, then looked at Connor and said directly:

"As for Young Master Connor, why don't you just capture me now and use the Soul-Searching Technique to search my soul? It's not because you have pity on me and intend to give me a chance to confess, but because, Young Master Connor, you understand that there are restrictions personally set up by the Professor in my divine sea!"

"Even if you, Young Master Connor, have become a Level One Wizard, you are powerless to break this restriction. As long as someone else's mental power invades my divine sea, the restriction will be triggered and self-destruct, and my head will explode with a bang. At that time, although I will die, Young Master Connor, you will get nothing from me!"

"Pa! Pa! Pa!"

Connor smiled and applauded Danilo for his unvarnished remarks, as if he appreciated Danilo's candidness.

Nilo's words were full of praise.

Danilo seemed unfazed by Connor's praise. He continued, "Young Master Connor, this is just a job for me. I don't want to lose my life over it. If you'd really spare my life, I can tell you whatever you want to know!"

"That sounds like a good idea!" Connor said to Danilo with a slight flicker in his eyes, "But I think that now your life is in my hands, not mine. For me, even if you die, I still have the opportunity to get what I want from others. But it's different for you, Danilo. You only have one life. Once you die, it's gone forever."

"So now the initiative in this deal is in my hands. In that case, Danilo, shouldn't you tell me what your bargaining chips are before you make a deal with me, so I can see if they can save your life?"
