He always felt that this guy was coming for him.

"It's probably some troublesome matter again."

Chu Yang thanked him very politely, but his vigilance was at its peak.

When Mr. Frank saw that Chu Yang was not complacent or arrogant, he felt much more relaxed.

He soon presented the commissioned task that he had prepared long ago.

"I would like you to investigate for me the candidates for some key positions on a gentleman's estate."

"I will give you the information about the candidates on a slip of paper. I hope to know their hobbies, interests, and even lifestyle habits, among other details."

“If you can go and investigate them thoroughly, I’m willing to pay you two hundred pounds.”

Mr. Frank was very agreeable and even immediately took out two large denomination banknotes.

Hearing this, Chu Yang was filled with surprise.

He first glanced at the names of the investigation targets written on the paper.

He immediately became more vigilant.

"If I remember correctly, this gentleman I am about to investigate should be the personal butler of the future third prince."

"In the original story, the butler was not depicted to have any problems."

"Why did he suddenly become the subject of this mysterious man's investigation?"

Chu Yang's mind began to race with thoughts.

However, he quickly came up with a solution in his mind.

"Mr. Frank, I don't quite understand the details you're describing?"

Chu Yang asked an ambiguous question.

Of course, he was also testing the waters of a certain suspicion he had.

Based on his understanding of the original plot, Mr. Darlock, who is currently working as a butler in a nobleman's household, met a prince through this work experience.

Then, through his extensive professional skills, he became the prince's personal butler, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of his life.

Therefore, Chu Yang guessed that Frank was either himself or someone close to him who was Mr. Darlock's competitor.

Either Frank was sent by the prince to investigate Mr. Darlock.

That means Mr. Darlock will soon be rich.

"Mr. Chu Yang, rest assured, all I need is for you to provide me with the most detailed and accurate information you have gathered."

“My authenticity means not only having that man’s good points, but also his shortcomings and bad points.”

"After all, I don't believe there are absolutely perfect people in this world."

Frank was very polite.

But Chu Yang could tell that this guy seemed to be there just to cause trouble.

However, given this situation, Chu Yang felt even more at ease.

Since this matter does not involve the realm of the extraordinary world, he can naturally accept the commission with confidence and receive the reward of two hundred pounds.

Even if Darlock's acceptance of this task prevents him from becoming the prince's personal butler, it's not necessarily a bad thing.

After all, this way, Mr. Darlock might not be implicated in the subsequent events.

On the other side, Xiu was just about to reach the entrance of his usual bar when he was stopped by a man in a black suit.

This guy was wearing a thin mask on his face.

It's impossible to see his true appearance.

Hugh's face turned extremely grim, and he was already on high alert, his hand already on his weapon.

"Don't be afraid, I will tell you why I'm looking for you."

This guy seems very confident, and it's like he's already got Hugh figured out.

"Are you from the Grand Council?"

Hugh's expression returned to calm, but his imposing manner remained undiminished.

She is no longer the timid woman who can be manipulated at will.

Just as Miss Hugh encountered trouble, Chu Yang successfully completed the task entrusted to him by Mr. Frank.

The other party even left nearly fifty pounds in initial funds.

It's clear that Mr. Frank is very sincere.

Of course, neither party signed any authorization agreement.

After all, such private investigations cannot be put into writing.

After seeing Mr. Frank off, Chu Yang did not rush to complete the investigation task.

As far as he knew, there was nothing mysterious about Mr. Darlock, so there was no need for him to investigate personally.

He could easily delegate this task to someone else.

All he needs to do is submit the final result.

This way, it's both convenient and you can get enough funds.

However, just as he stepped out and flagged down a carriage, he was stopped by someone.

This guy was dressed in very luxurious clothes and had a very fair complexion.

"Mr. Chu Yang, may I have a brief chat with you?"

The guy was very polite and gestured towards the coffee shop next door.

It's clear that he had been prepared for this for a long time.

Chu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly. "Excuse me, sir, if you have any requests or tasks, please come inside the detective agency to handle them."

Despite the person in front of him being very polite, Chu Yang did not really want to agree.

If someone suddenly stops you and acts so presumptuously, you're probably in some kind of trouble.

“Mr. Chu Yang, I’ve called you here to discuss Mr. Dalock’s matter.”

The person in front of him immediately appeared quite anxious, and then quickly revealed his identity.

He was a friend of Darlock.

Chu Yang nodded slightly and eventually followed the other person into the shop on the street.

He started to take this matter seriously.

“Mr. Chu Yang, I have been keeping an eye on Mr. Frank’s movements, and I know he must have entrusted you with the task of investigating Mr. Darlock.”

“I hope you won’t give the final investigation results to Frank.”

The uninvited guest, named Nadam, looked extremely anxious.

Why would I do that? Wouldn't that ruin my reputation?

Chu Yang asked in surprise.

He didn't care who had commissioned Mr. Nadam to sabotage the matter.

He would not easily give up on this mission.

“Mr. Chu Yang, Frank is a very bad person, and the person behind him is even worse.”

"No matter how much reward he has promised in advance, he will never easily deliver on it in the end."

"On the contrary, Mr. Darlock is a man of integrity, and everyone in our circle knows that."

"If you insist on investigating, I hope you can explain the truth clearly."

“Mr. Darlock is really a very good person; he is an extremely upright person.”

"Dallock's latest changes involve a rivalry between two nobles."

"So there are some things I can't explain too clearly."

Nadam appeared very sincere, clearly stating his purpose and even unintentionally disparaging the other party. Furthermore, he sincerely praised Darok's character and qualifications.

Even his words carried a pleading tone.

This surprised Chu Yang quite a bit.

This seemingly eccentric Mr. Nadam speaks and acts with a remarkable rhythm.

But Chu Yang remained completely unconcerned about it.

The competition among nobles had nothing to do with him.

He just wanted to get the two hundred pounds smoothly.

Moreover, he has already accepted the task, which means he has officially begun to play the role of a detective.

If we give up on the mission so easily, all the preparations of the past two days will have been wasted.

So he came up with a brilliant way to refuse.

“Mr. Nadam, if I really do that, won’t Frank and the people behind him hold a grudge against me?”

"What if they turn against me because of this?"

Chu Yang stared intently at Nadam in front of him.

It seems to be a complaint that this guy is too reckless.

"Rest assured, the big shots behind us will handle this matter."

"I had already received the full support of that important person before I arrived, and he is willing to bear all the losses you may suffer because of this matter."

"That important person's character is also very reliable."

Mr. Nadam spoke with conviction.

But Chu Yang remained unconvinced.

Because he didn't think that the assurances from important figures could have any effect.

Faced with sufficient benefits or unforeseen circumstances, no one can keep their promises, not even important figures.

However, Chu Yang did not immediately show intimacy; instead, he began to hesitate and waver.

Sure enough, upon seeing his actions, Nadamlik pulled out a stack of papers from the folder he was carrying.

"Mr. Chu Yang, please take a look. This is the investigation result of the relevant personnel from the royal family regarding Mr. Dalock."

"Their investigation results are already very detailed. If you can submit something that is almost identical to these results, then the problem can be easily solved."

He once again offered Chu Yang something he couldn't easily refuse.

This way, Chu Yang can receive the reward quickly and the corresponding commission can be completed in a very short time.

It's clear that Mr. Nadam came very well prepared.

Chu Yang finally understood that this Mr. Nadam was very likely sent by the prince.

The prince was indeed very fond of Darlock and wanted him to become his personal butler.

"So you're from the royal family?"

Seemingly moved by these two words, Chu Yang appeared quite shocked.

"If that's the case, I will still spend some time investigating. I won't rush to submit the results because that would lack credibility."

Chu Yang's words made the atmosphere much more relaxed.

Nadam's expression immediately changed, and he said, "Mr. Chu Yang, this is perfect. It won't affect you, and it will also resolve all my problems."

He was initially worried that Chu Yang's hasty submission of the task would arouse Frank's suspicion.

I never expected Chu Yang to have thought things through so thoroughly.

At this moment, Chu Yang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

All he needs to do now is stall for time, and after a few more months, the task will simply be abandoned.

Now, whether it's Frank or Nadam, everything they're busy with is for that prince.

But a few months later, new big shots will start eyeing that prince.

By then, none of the factions will care who the prince's so-called personal butler is.

Chu Yang was also able to successfully pocket the funds.

After finishing his business, Chu Yang was about to say goodbye to Mr. Nadam.

Just as he picked up the papers, he discovered a small hidden compartment at the bottom.

After opening the hidden compartment, several banknotes were found inside.

Although the total face value of these banknotes did not exceed one hundred pounds.

However, this is still a considerable sum of money.

After all, Chu Yang had only done a small favor and had also resolved the task that had taken him so much time.

"This prince is truly generous, but it's also clear that he trusts Darroch very much."

"I estimate that they will get along very well in the future."

Chu Yang shook his head with considerable regret.

Unfortunately, that prince was destined to die.

Darlock will later embark on a path of revenge for that prince.

Unfortunately, Darlock was just an ordinary person, and he would never be able to deal with his greatest enemy in this lifetime.

He had no intention of getting involved in whether the prince was dead or alive.

After all, he and this prince didn't have much interaction.

He didn't find any benefit for himself in this matter either.

Moreover, the matter was extremely complicated and involved a battle between gods.

There are also several rather complex sealed artifacts that can instantly erase any trace of a person's existence.

He didn't want to get involved in such a big event so easily.

Right after Chu Yang and Nadam parted ways, Nadam quickly got into a carriage on another street.

After he got on the bus, there was a rather respectable young man in front of him.

This is the big shot behind him, that prince.

This prince is the third in line to the throne of the Kingdom of Ruben, and is generally known as Prince Rasak.

What choice did the detective make?

Lasak asked with considerable curiosity.

Manhattan is quite famous in Backlund and is a well-known detective.

As the only student from Manhattan, Chu Yang has naturally been recognized by many as a key candidate for the next generation of great detectives.

Therefore, Prince Rasak did not underestimate Chu Yang's existence.

"The detective made a very wise choice, but he suggested that we try to stall Frank as long as possible so that the guy wouldn't become suspicious."

Nadam placed his hand very respectfully over his heart and bowed slightly in response.

"As expected of a detective, he guessed the key point in just a few words."

"What he wants most is probably to stall for time and wait for this competition to come to an end."

Prince Rasak gave Chu Yang a rather surprised evaluation.

As long as he fails to produce his investigation report on Darlock.

Then Frank won't be able to take action against Darlock.

In this way, Prince Rasak could also legitimately appoint Darlock as his steward.

In this way, Chu Yang not only fulfilled Nadam's request, but also Frank's request. (End of Chapter)
