Jansi, who was on his way to his desk in the office, looked back at Carlot and said, “It’s enough to call me just once, Carlot. So, what is it?”

“Sister will be home late again today, won’t she? Is she still staying with that unlucky mercenary king we don’t like?”

“I guess so,” Jansi responded coolly. “It’s already getting dark. I guess they are planning to come back after the sun goes down.”

“This is all because of that guy named Ian,” Carlot grumbled like he was complaining. “After that bastard became an escort, my sister started going out all the time.”

Just thinking of the mercenary king, Ian made Carlot angry.

Sitting down, Jansi rested his chin on his hand and smiled loosely without answering.

‘I really didn’t notice anything.’

He thought he had analyzed Elodie’s recent behavior and came up with the cause, but it was very wrong.

Elodie started to go outside even before the mercenary king, Ian became her escort. It was even before that event that her attitude had changed.

It was clear why Elodie, who was supposedly attached to the mansion, seldom returned to it.

It was to avoid.

Carlot. No – everyone in Perdia, including Carlot.

At least, it seemed that she interacted with mother more frequently than before, but it was not a friendly relationship.

It must have been some kind of transaction, but Jansi couldn’t figure out what it was about.

‘If I touch my mother for no reason, I’ll see blood.’

Themis Perdia was not a great woman who looked after him as a son. It was clear that he would be punished if the fact that he did a background investigation was discovered.

No matter how good Jansi was at gathering information, he couldn’t avoid getting caught in his mother’s eyes if he attempted gathering information related to her.

In any case, Jansi knew that Elodie kept her distance from all the people of Perdia.

Among these developments, the most difficult thing to solve was the relationship with Ian, the mercenary king.

Even if you want to find out what he’s up to, it’s not easy to dig into the background of the mercenary king’s side.

Jansi once tried to smuggle his men into the Earth Hawks Mercenary Corps as spies, but…..

The result was simply disastrous. He was kicked out before he even stepped into the mercenary headquarters.

The sense of belonging and loyalty held by the mercenaries belonging to the Earth Hawk Mercenary Corps was blindingly bizarre through the eyes of a third party.

He still wanted to find out what Elodie was doing there in the afternoon. But even so, rushing into the headquarters of the mercenary corps was risky.

Elodie went outside to avoid her family. If he were to go there, of course Elodie wouldn’t like it.

‘Well,’ Jansi decided, ‘Let’s send Carl.’
