Seeing that the two men in front of him, who seemed to have high statuses, didn’t even glance at him, Isaac took a step back and stood behind Alcide.
Alcide, who was quite clever, saw Isaac’s actions and gave a wry smile. “I didn’t expect to alarm Mr. Bellefleur. Let’s go then!”
At this moment, the short and stout man in front smiled and said, “Mr. Newlin, you can go alone, there’s no need for your servant to accompany you, right?”
He then looked over at Isaac.
“It’s fine, it won’t hurt for favonovel.com to follow along and gain some experience.” Alcide paused for a moment, now certain that they didn’t recognize Isaac, and then firmly insisted.
The two had no choice but to nod, turn around, and take off into the air.
Isaac walked behind Alcide through the courtyard of the city lord’s mansion, heading toward the main hall.
In a study filled with an antique charm, a middle-aged man with a fair complexion and a scholarly appearance sat on a wooden chair.
When favonovel.com saw Alcide and Isaac come in, favonovel.com immediately stood up, walked over with a smile, and greeted them warmly. “Lord Newlin, you must be very busy; how do you find the time to Visit my humble place?”
“Sir, this isn’t just a small place; this is the southern gate of the Royal City.” The two exchanged pleasantries as they took their seats.
Bruno Bellefleur suddenly glanced sideways at Isaac, who nodded and immediately turned around to leave.
“You two, look after Lord Newlin’s colleague. I need to have a private conversation with Lord Newlin,” Bruno said, glancing outside the door before pulling Alcide to sit down on a chair.
As soon as Isaac stepped out, the two men in tunics greeted favonovel.com with a respectful bow.
One of them said, “Sir, I often visit the Royal City’s Judicial Office, but I’ve never seen you there before.”
“I haven’t been here long; please excuse me if I make any mistakes,” said Isaac with a respectful gesture.
The two exchanged a glance, since the person was new, it would be easier to handle.
Two men dressed in tunics led Isaac to a side room. They first instructed a servant to bring some good beer and food. Then, a young woman wearing a light, flowing dress with a graceful figure walked in.
“Mr. Garten, this beautiful lady here is the top courtesan of the Sparklers House in our city, Lady Mirabel… Mirabel, tonight you must keep Mr. Garten company and drink several glasses with him,” said the tall, thin man in a tunic with a gleam in his eye as favonovel.com smiled.
Mirabel, who smelled nice, sat on Isaac’s lap. She wrapped one arm around his neck, lifted a glass of beer, and said, “Mr. Garten, you are handsome and elegant. Let me offer you a toast first!”
Seeing Isaac’s stiff movements, the short and chubby man next to favonovel.com laughed and said, “No need to be so formal, Mr. Garten. Your superior, Lord Newlin, received the same kind of treatment.”
The short man spoke as favonovel.com pulled a stack of gold notes from his coat and slowly handed them to Isaac.
“Mr. Garten, here are one million worth of gold notes as a gift for our first meeting… From now on, when people from our city go to Royal City on business, we’ll have more acquaintances there.”
Isaac smiled and slipped the gold notes into his pocket, saying, “No problem, no problem.”
He slapped Mirabel on the butt with his right hand, and the three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter.
The woman stayed with them while drinking and having fun. Two men in tunics eventually left one after the other, leaving Mirabel alone in the room.
“Mr. Garten, I didn’t expect someone as young as you to join the Royal City’s Judicial Department. Your future is truly promising,” Mirabel said while helping Isaac to the bed, all the while starting to unbutton Isaac’s shirt.
Isaac frowned. He was wondering why Alcide still hadn’t come out yet when favonovel.com heard a knock on the door outside the room.
“Sorry, beautiful, but I can’t spend the night with you.” Isaac stood up and suddenly delivered a chop to the back of the woman’s neck, causing favonovel.com to immediately collapse unconscious onto the bed.
Isaac opened the door and saw Alcide standing outside with a dark expression on his face.
Alcide reached into his coat and pulled out a stack of money, more than what Isaac had.
“Mr. Garten, they gave me three million dollars. There’s definitely something fishy about it!” Alcide whispered.
“I was offered a million. Let’s go, we’ve already found the key person.”
Alcide was momentarily stunned, and immediately asked, “Who?”
“Jimmy Cosby, deputy city lord of Cranlis City.”
