Wizard Earl

Since Connor cannot appear in the open, the only person who can openly change the fate of the Ferguson family is now Butler Martinez. Connor's original plan was to wait for Butler Martinez to enter Ferguson Manor, and then those parasites would start to act, making it a fait accompli to violate imperial law and launch an armed rebellion.

After obtaining evidence of their rebellion, Connor arranged for the protection of Butler Martinez to leave and return to Frosinone. Then, Connor, as the first in line to the Ferguson family, together with Butler Martinez, representing the legitimate heir of the Ferguson family, requested the assistance of the local garrison in Frosinone to quell the rebellion.

In this way, Connor could complete the blood transfusion for the Ferguson family without lifting a finger, and the two major churches and the white wizards of the Ninth Bureau, even if they knew what they were doing, could only be helpless and could do nothing!

So, ever since Butler Martinez entered Ferguson Manor, he has been under the watchful eye of Connor, who was hiding in the family library. Connor had been secretly protecting him and ensuring his safety. Everything was going according to Connor's plan, but now an unexpected incident has occurred. The usually composed Butler Martinez, as if he had taken the wrong medicine, has willingly jumped into danger, which has given Connor a considerable headache.

Seeing his plan on the verge of failure, Connor, holding his binoculars, could no longer sit still. He knew he had to act now. After a moment's hesitation, Connor put down his binoculars and instructed Arbeloa, who was waiting for his orders, behind him: "Butler Martinez is in a bit of trouble at the junkyard in the northeast corner. Take that vial of medicine, then go there and help him get out of trouble. It's best not to use any energy!"

Upon hearing Connor's command, Arbeloa immediately nodded, then took out a bottle of light red potion from his spatial ring and swallowed it. As the dark red potion entered his stomach, Arbeloa, who originally did not appear very strong, immediately exuded a powerful aura. However, this powerful aura had nothing to do with extraordinary power; he looked like a great knight who had activated his life energy!

Arbeloa, who had briefly transformed into a Grand Knight through the potion, bowed to Connor and immediately ran towards the garbage dump in the northeast corner of the manor. At that moment, in that stinking garbage dump, Butler Martinez had already engaged the five men in black. Relying on the experience and strength of a Grand Knight and the advantage of surprise attack, Martinez killed two of the men in black with a single move and injured the leader of the five men in black, who was also a formal knight.

Unfortunately, just as Butler Martinez was about to press his advantage and finish off the remaining three men in black, he ran into trouble. His right leg was hit by a bullet from a rifle carried by one of the men in black. Although it was not life-threatening, it severely affected Butler Martinez's speed.

Then the worst thing happened. The three surviving men in black took turns firing bullets to suppress Butler Martinez and prevent him from getting close to them. The one among them, who was a formal knight-level man in black and had been wounded by Butler Martinez, took off the brass whistle around his neck and began to blow it frantically.

A crisp, sharp whistle rang out from the garbage dump in the northeast corner. At the same time, the men in black searching for Martinez's butler in other parts of the manor gathered immediately upon hearing the whistle and rushed towards the garbage dump to provide support.

Seeing that his whereabouts had been exposed and that the three men in black were requesting backup, even the usually composed butler Martinez couldn't help but show a hint of impatience. He wanted to give up on killing the three men in front of him and escape through the secret passage. However, seeing that the butler Martinez wanted to leave, the three men in black became even more aggressive and took the initiative to attack, restraining the butler Martinez and preventing him from leaving. For a moment, the butler Martinez, whose right leg was injured, found himself in an awkward situation where he could neither advance nor retreat!

Just as Butler Martinez was filled with despair as the reinforcements from the men in black drew ever closer, preparing to commit suicide to repay the Ferguson family, a gust of black wind suddenly appeared. The three men in black who had been harassing Butler Martinez were completely focused on him and caught off guard. They were all killed in a few swift blows by this sudden gust of black wind!

"Old steward! Hurry! The family's hopes rest on your shoulders. I'll hold the line for you here!"

The Nightfall Force, who had instantly dispatched three men in black, was now rushing to the rescue on Connor's orders. Arbeloa immediately shouted in a deep voice to Martinez's head butler:

Seeing Arbeloa suddenly appear and save him, even the seasoned and experienced butler Martinez was momentarily stunned, a look of disbelief appearing in his aged eyes.

As the general manager of Ferguson Minerals Distribution Company, a crucial pillar of the Ferguson family's economy, Arbeloa regularly reported to Butler Martinez on the company's operations. Therefore, Butler Martinez was quite familiar with Arbeloa, in fact, very familiar with him!

However, for a long time, Martinez's impression of Arbeloa had always been that of a business manager. To say he was physically weak would be an exaggeration, but it certainly had nothing to do with the formidable aura he exuded now, the way he effortlessly dispatched three agile men in black in seconds…

Despite being surprised by Arbeloa's current display of strength, in this critical moment, Butler Martinez had no time to think and immediately nodded to Arbeloa, saying, "Arbeloa, you've done very well. The family will remember your contribution, and once things have calmed down, the family will reward you handsomely!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Martinez, the head butler, heard the footsteps of the men in black getting closer and closer. Without hesitation, he dragged his injured leg and desperately headed towards the garbage dump toilet where the family head's secret passage was located.

Hearing Butler Martinez still making promises to him at this moment, Arbeloa's lips twitched slightly, a mixture of amusement and exasperation on his face. If he hadn't known that Connor Ferguson was currently standing upstairs in the family library, observing him through binoculars, Arbeloa might have reacted quite differently…
