"A powder which can help mortals cultivate active soul control percentage, don't tell you believe sothing like that is possible. Even if it is, I am sure that a teenager would be the last one to discover it," demigod Baylor said, hearing his ntor claim that a few among them, the higher-ups, believed that the silver milk powder might not be a fraud that the dia outlets claid it to be.
"Here's the deal, if sowhere down in the southern region is a way to help mortals stimulate their active soul control before contracting a grimoire then the governnt would like to be the one to regulate it. The allure of sothing with such capabilities is not easy to ignore…
The uncertainty of this case and your personal interest in it is the reason why you are getting the opportunity to lead it. Otherwise, It would not land on your lap but soone with more seniority," Henricks's explanation did not really explain why the governnt was willing to spare resources for sothing like this. It only made it more apparent that he would rather not go into details about it.
"Could you be any less clearer? Sigh, please, just be honest with ," demigod Baylor said in frustration. He did not care what the governnt was up to, but he did not like the fact that the governnt had taken interest in Ellen's son's fraud case. First the soldier queen Colleen had suspiciously turned hostile toward him when he said he was going to adopt Ellen's son and now the governnt was asking him to run a covert mission to check if there was more to the silver milk powder fraud case. So he could not help but worry that there was more to it than he was being let on.
"Kid, even if your title has changed to General you are still a soldier. Do you want to teach you that soldiers don't get to question their orders?"
"You don't have to remind that but I thought you called here as your disciple and not your subordinate," demigod Baylor glanced into his ntor's eyes and asked.
"Why are you being stubborn about this?" Henricks warned his disciple to not dig further.
"You know exactly why," demigod Baylor did not show signs of backing down with his ntor's warning.
"Boy, that girl really did a number on you. Your wife is a saint to tolerate your whims," Henricks scoffed, knowing exactly why his disciple was being so stubborn.
"No, she was the best thing that ever happened to . And yes, I have a good wife," demigod Baylor said defending both the won in his heart and life.
"Sigh, I take it you have already arranged your subordinates to gather the researchers who had claid that the silver milk powder is a fake?" Henricks seems to have finally given up and decided to lay it all out for his disciple.
"Yes, I did," demigod Baylor answered seriously seeing his ntor cave.
"Well, you can call them off. They will not find or will be able to reach those researchers," Henricks spoke mysteriously.
Hearing his ntor demigod Baylor frowned his brows pensively and said, "Is it because the governnt has already detained those researchers?"
"Most of them have been detained, as for the remaining, they, themselves, are formidable or have strong backgrounds. Since the governnt can't reach them, your people certainly cannot," Henricks said as he filled his emptied glass with rum to the brim.
"I thought we were the governnt," demigod Baylor said feeling tense, according to his ntor the case involving Ellen's son was not as simple as it seed on the surface.
"Don't kid yourself, I as a field marshal don't dare to say I am the governnt, let alone a re general such as yourself. Rember we are military and we work for the governnt," Henricks schooled his disciple.
Demigod Baylor shook his head, seeming to not agree with his ntor, and said, "What's the point of detaining the researchers? Didn't they claim that the silver milk powder was a fraud? Am I missing sothing here?"
"Let ask a question, what will you do to a patent when you know that the product granted with the patent is a fraud?" Henricks's voice grew serious as he asked his disciple this.
"I will revoke it," demigod Baylor answered without thinking.
"Right, but the southern royal family did not do that, instead they left it alone saying an investigation is still underway. Why would the southern royal family do that?" Henricks's eyes grew sharp as he spoke the last few words.
"That is it?" demigod Baylor, who was seriously listening to what his ntor had to say, had a complicated expression on his face right now and thought maybe it was ti his ntor retired as he sounded exactly like his uncle who was a conspiracy enthusiast.
"There is more, the patent office which granted the silver milk powder its patent has been closed down, and its staff have been detained by the southern royal family for investigation," Henricks could feel that his disciple was looking at him with a weird sympathy however he decided to ignore that look but what Baylor said next made him hard to ignore it, "Field Marshal, I think you should take up a hobby. It will keep you busy."
"Kid, I am being serious. These small things individually don't make sense but once you put them together with what the researchers found with regards to the silver milk powder you will start to notice that the southern royal family's recent actions are very suspicious," Henricks tone turned solemn when he said this.
"So, it all cos back to the researchers detained by the governnt. Just tell what did the researchers find, to make the governnt interested in a small fraud case," demigod Baylor said, feeling his ntor was not a good storyteller as he was at the end of his patients listening to the field marshal.
"The researchers claid that the effects of silver milk powder described in the paper submitted by the boy to apply for the patent were possible if the ingredient nad silver milk ntioned in the recipe of the silver milk powder existed…"
