Half a day passed in a flash, and the young master had come out of the interrogation room. He sat bored in the reception room, waiting for his colleagues to take him away.

Finally, the colleague he had been thinking about came.

“why you?!”

“My Lord, my Lord [Father]…she is not here.”

Taking off his magic hat, Lini bowed slightly to the young master. At this moment, his face was also very embarrassed.

What’s the matter? The servant didn’t want to see the young master at all! Especially after hearing that he needed to pay a bail of 60 million.

“Not here? Never mind. It’s all right as long as I can get out.” The young man was startled at first, then waved his hand nonchalantly.

It was just as well that he wasn’t there. He didn’t like facing servants anyway.

“This…this…” Linny’s face became even more embarrassed. He felt that if he told the truth, the young master might suddenly attack and hurt someone.

Fortunately, he didn’t say it, and someone else said it for him.

“Crack!”

“Hey! Why are you handcuffing me again?” The young man looked puzzled. Handcuffs were of no use to him and he could tear them off easily.

But is that what he cares about? What he cares about is why he has become a suspect again!

“We asked the head of Hearth House, and she said that she is short of money recently and can’t afford to clean up your mess.”

“Worthy…”

The young master’s cursing could not prevent him from returning to the interrogation room, but this time, he saw a small note on his seat.

He moved his butt and glanced at the words above:

“My Lord Father suggests that you first cooperate with the investigation by Fontaine, and then break out of the cage and escape.”

“Haha, good advice.”

The young master snorted twice with a forced smile. If he had to use this method to escape in the end, he might as well run away now.

Linnie outside the interrogation room was still smiling at the young master, but unfortunately he was met with an impatient wave of his hand.

“Get lost! Go back and work on your prophecy. If I see you again, I’m afraid I’ll hit you!”

The young master drove Lini out angrily. He had never seen a colleague treat him like this!

Linny left, and the young master lay dejectedly on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

“Hmmmm!”

The guard on the opposite side saw that the young master looked depressed, so he cleared his throat to attract his attention.

Seeing the young master’s gaze directed at him, the team member slowly said: “Mr. Tartaglia, if you cannot compensate for the loss, then according to the procedure we will begin the trial process.”

“Judgment?”

The young master moved his ears and rolled his eyes. It seemed that this was where the duel agent came into play, right?

“Then can I defend my innocence and honor through a duel?” he asked anxiously.

But the guards looked constipated after hearing this: “Of course, you can, but please forgive me for being blunt, you… have irrefutable evidence.”

In other words, the young master has no innocence to prove at all – he is the suspect!

The young master also reacted after hearing this. He scratched his head in annoyance. If he had known, he should have worn a mask during the fight. At least this way he would have had some room to maneuver and wouldn’t have his face clearly exposed.

“Putting aside those photos, don’t I feel wronged at all? The other guy and I are in cahoots, and you’re trying to judge me without catching him. I won’t accept that!”

The young master slammed the table and spoke with confidence.

“It seems…it’s true!”

When the security team members heard this, they felt that what the young master said made some sense.

“Mr. Tadalia, do you want to apply for [agent]?”

“No, I want to duel with others by myself!”

“It’s not that. It’s the [agent] who participates in the case on your behalf. The different perspectives allow you to see the full picture of the case.”

“That’s great. Then arrange one for me.”

Chapter 785 Agent

2024-07-17

“This is not arranged by us, but you need to appoint it yourself.” The guards shook their heads. Seeing the young master’s puzzled look, they continued:

“[Agent] is essentially a person who has not committed a crime and is personally involved in the investigation, so they need to be close enough to you.”

“How is it? Do you have any relatives or friends in Fontaine?”

“Friends and relatives in Fontaine…”

The guard’s words silenced the young master, who straightened his body and began to think with his eyes closed.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

“I think my colleagues should…”

“Is that the [servant]? Sorry, she told us in advance that she is currently busy with diplomatic affairs between Fontaine and Winter Solstice and cannot spare the time!”

“Bang~”

Veins popped out on the young master’s forehead. This is truly a good colleague, a “good” colleague who doesn’t care about colleagueship at all.

“Huh…huh…”

Because of his inner resentment, the young man’s chest kept heaving, making him look like an angry frog.

“Mr. Tartaglia, are there any other candidates?”

“…”

The young master did not answer for a long time. Seeing this, the guards could not help but come up with a very absurd idea.

“You don’t have any friends at Fontaine?”

“Pfft~”

The truth always hurts. After he said this, the guards were surprised to see that the young master’s heaving chest quickly shrunk, and his entire face turned gray.

“Why should I tell the truth…, don’t I have any dignity…”

Hearing the young master’s mumbling, everyone showed a hint of sympathy on their faces. It seems that the life of an executive is far from as good as imagined.

“and many more!”

The young man stopped mumbling, and he suddenly thought of a guy who could barely be considered a “friend” of his.

“There’s another person, Ember!”

The young master slapped the table in high spirits and spoke loudly to the security team members.

“Then do you know where it is?”

“Forehead……”

The young master’s movements froze for a moment, and he suddenly realized that he had no idea where the ember was.

But soon, he waved his hand and said nonchalantly: “Don’t worry about this, he wears full body armor all day, it’s very easy to recognize him!”

“Wearing full body armor… is indeed a distinctive feature. But before we find him, I’d like to trouble you, Mr. Tartaglia, to stay here for a while!”

The security team members all nodded when they heard this, and then they filed out to look for the friend that the young master had finally found after thinking hard for a long time.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, so quiet that the young master could not help but doze off. After an unknown amount of time, there was a new movement here.

“Squeak!”

The door to the interrogation room was opened.

“So fast? You Fontaine guards are very efficient.” In a daze, the young man couldn’t help but sigh at the high efficiency of the Fontaine guards.

“That’s not the case.”

The unfamiliar voice woke the young man up. He rubbed his eyes and looked, and in front of him was a security guard in uniform who looked so ordinary that he couldn’t be more ordinary.

The young master vaguely remembered that this guy seemed to have been standing in the corner and never made a sound.

“Should I call you Master, or Tartaglia?”

“It depends on the power behind you.” The young master looked at the guy in front of him. Even if his eyesight was poor, he could tell that this guy was an undercover agent from another force.

“Then I’ll just call you Master.”

“Excuse me, Master, you just said that you and Yu Jin are friends. Is that true?”

The young master was stunned by the words of the security team member. He thought that the person on the other side might be an undercover agent of the Fatui and wanted to rescue him. He also thought that the person on the other side might be an undercover agent of the hostile force and wanted to deceive him.

But no matter what, he never thought that he would be related to the embers.

“This… is absolutely true! If you don’t believe me, you can ask him!” Relying on the fact that Yu Jin was not here, the young master gave a definite answer without changing his expression.

Anyway, Yu Jin is a mysterious guy, so he doesn’t believe that the guy in front of him can find him!

“That’s good. The Thorn Rose Society will notify Mr. Yu Jin. Mr. Young Master, please wait here for a while.”

The security team members nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and then hurriedly ran out of the interrogation room, leaving the young master with a confused look on his face.

“What?”

After a long while, he finally uttered this word from the air.

……

Fontaine is tall and magnificent. Its large area and complex architecture make it much more majestic than the main cities of the previous countries.

Of course, none of this had anything to do with Yu Jin at the moment. After hearing that he was going to Fontaine, the enthusiastic Thorn Rose Society immediately took on the responsibility of a guide, not only preparing a boat for him, but also arranging accommodation for him.

So, following the twists and turns of the Thorn Rose Society, Yu Jin came to the sewer of Fontaine…

“here……”

“I’m sorry, Mr. Yu Jin, the Thorn Rose Club is currently short of funds. After the current stage of the project is completed, the young lady will arrange the most luxurious suite for you!”

“No, I mean…how do you know that I like to go into the sewers the most!”
