"So, has there been any indication to the fact that the ingredient nad silver milk exists?" demigod Baylor did not bother to question what his ntor said because if he spoke about it to him then he must have strong reasons to back it up.

"No, there weren't any. Until, Dr. Luna Lorn, a descendant of the southern royal family, a researcher at the morningstar university, applied to borrow the dungeon relocation apparatus for a hefty price," Henricks's claims finally start to make sense to demigod Baylor.

"So you believe that the said Silver Milk ingredient ntioned in the recipe of the Silver milk powder is a new ingredient discovered in a dungeon?" Once his ntor brought up the dungeon relocation apparatus, demigod Baylor's mind imdiately jumped to this conclusion.

"Yes, that's the spark that brought this case to the notice of the governnt. However, no matter how rational the speculations seed they were still speculations after all, not enough for the governnt to risk making an enemy out of the royal families," Henrick's explained that if the governnt interfered and investigate the southern region based on speculation then the southern royal family will not be the only royal family they will be offending but the other three royal families too.

Because today it was the southern region then tomorrow it will be either one of them, the only way these royal families could stop the governnt from encroaching on their rights was by standing together against the governnt despite their differences.

"From what you said so far, it seems the governnt is certain that the silver milk powder is not a fraud," demigod Baylor said, feeling that it was a slam dunk based on the speculations so far.

"Yeah, no. There is a problem," Henricks said with a hint of embarrassnt. And then added, "In the papers submitted by the boy to apply for the patent, he has described the properties, soul pathways, arrangents, and vibrations of the ingredient he terd as silver milk. This is where the situation gets complicated."

"I don't understand," said demigod Baylor, not understanding how the properties, soul pathways, arrangents, and vibration of the ingredient called silver milk beca the problem.

"Considering the alluring application of the silver milk powder, the governnt had recruited five demigod realm diamond rank array masters and card creationists well versed in creation rule to use the properties, soul pathways, arrangents and vibration of the silver milk ingredient described in papers to recreate it," Henricks paused and drank remain rum in his glass.

"So, were they able to recreate it?" demigod Baylor asked knowing that if they were able to recreate the ingredient then the governnt would be having a heated talk with the southern region instead of asking him to do a covert investigation off the books into it.

"Not yet, they are still at it. Things like this take ti but with passing days the governnt is losing its confidence," Henricks knew that research work took ti but the governnt did not have the patience for it. Hence, when demigod Baylor opened an investigation into the southern royal family, overreaching his authority, instead of reprimanding him the governnt decided to use him as his personal interest, in this case, made him the perfect patsy.

Many people had a bone to pick with the southern royal family but only demigod Baylor's interest clashed with the silver milk powder incident. So in case, demigod Baylor or his people were to get caught snooping around regarding this. Then the governnt could appease the southern royal family by claiming that demigod Baylor abused his authority for his personal grievance against the southern royal family and they had no idea.

As if the southern royal family would fall for that but they would have to swallow it since the governnt's hand would clean since demigod Baylor would be taking all the bla and allowing the governnt to open an investigation into demigod Baylor and his cri.

By opening an investigation into demigod Baylor and his cri, the governnt would be able to investigate the silver milk powder patent fraud. This was why demigod Baylor made the perfect patsy for the covert operation into the silver milk powder patent fraud of the southern region.

Right now the governnt has no reason to claim jurisdiction in the silver milk powder patent fraud, but that would not be the case if demigod Baylor were to be caught snooping around that case by abusing his power.

Why demigod Baylor? Why not soone else? Demigod Baylor's relationship with the mastermind behind the silver milk powder patent fraud gave the governnt enough leverage when they would begin fighting with the southern royal family for jurisdiction over the silver milk powder patent fraud. This way the governnt would get what it wanted while keeping its hands clean when it ca to law but ethically nobody's hands were clean.

The governnt did not have the patients to do things by the book, who knows how long it would take for the researchers to recreate the ingredient, silver milk, using its properties, soul pathways, arrangents, and vibrations available. That was assuming that the southern royal family did not omit a few details to buy themselves enough ti.

All this beca apparent to demigod Baylor when his ntor laid it all in front of him, but he could not help but ask, "What's the governnt's endga here? Even if they prove that silver milk powder exists, its patent belongs to Dalton Wyatt and he has already sold its entire production and distribution rights exclusively to the southern royal family. What is the governnt trying to achieve here?"

Demigod Baylor was right, the patent already belonged to soone, and there was no place for the governnt to intervene there.

Henricks did not imdiately answer his disciple but instead beca emotional and said, "Thank you. Thank you for not doubting my intentions."

Despite learning that the governnt was planning to use him as the scapegoat to achieve their agenda and his ntor, Henricks, instead of protecting his disciple's interests was playing the role of devil's advocate by diating the governnt's intentions for him to start a covert investigation into the silver milk powder patent fraud case off the books to him, Demigod Baylor did not bla Henricks, he did not speak one word about it nor did he resented Henricks because of it. This action of demigod Baylor moved Henricks's heart and today he genuinely felt that he really bet on the right horse.

"Field Marshal, you are not the one who should be thanking , it should be thanking you. If not for you watching out for it would not be possible for to grow into what I am today. I could never doubt your intentions for . Even now, there must be a reason why you want to do the governnt's bidding," demigod Baylor was not being humble or saying this to be polite, he genuinely thought so.

"Hahaha," Henricks laughed out loud, trying to mask his teary eyes, and shouted, "If I were to die now I will have no complaints. Having nurtured a disciple like you, my life has one less regret."
