Early in the morning, a sudden explosion went off in Augen Manor, it made Edland City clamorous again after it had just calmed down.
Less than 10 minutes later, a couple of police cruisers sped over.
More than a dozen police officers appeared in Augen Manor with unusual attentiveness under the lead of Director Gregori.
Of course, the director wagging his tail and begging Anne Aldrich Augen had nothing to do with Kieran.
After another overnight reading, Kieran once again felt the swelling pain in his temples.
He knew it would be useless if he continued in his current condition, so Kieran chose to take a proper rest.
He was rubbing his temples with both of his index fingers and squinting his eyes.
His breathing was calm as if he had fallen asleep.
However, when a series of clear footsteps sounded, Kieran immediately opened his eyes.
Before Trish knocked on the door, Kieran opened the door first.
"What's wrong?"
Kieran asked directly.
He had told Trish not to disturb him unless it was something urgent, including his three meals, he would take care of them in the kitchen himself.
So, if Anne Aldrich Augen's secretary was here, something must have happened.
Kieran frowned when he thought about the explosion that happened in Augen Manor.
"Mayer needs help?"
Kieran asked.
As time went by, Kieran slowly understood the relationship between Anne Aldrich Augen and Mayer.
Just like what he guessed, it was a cooperative relationship similar to his own.
Or more precisely, it was an agreement.
However, unlike Kieran, the agreement between Mayer and Anne Aldrich Augen obviously had its own local restrictions.
Mayer would only deal with the matters that happened in Augen Manor.
Once Kieran left Augen Manor, Mayer would never interfere.
Therefore, when Kieran first met Mayer, he didn't chase after Kieran when he left Augen Manor in a hurry.
The explosion that happened just now was within Mayer's scope of handling.
Besides, Kieran didn't think Mayer couldn't handle the sudden incident.
What waves could the final wails of a bunch of defeated dogs cause?
Seeing the curiosity on Kieran's face, the secretary immediately shook her head.
"Sir Mayer doesn't need any help, it's the boss who asked for you … It's about Chief Officer Teresa."
The female secretary respected Mayer from the bottom of her heart.
Likewise for Kieran, the secretary didn't neglect him either.
After bowing slightly, he reported the matter honestly.
"Teresa?"
Kieran subconsciously thought of the alarm that should not have appeared last night.
Then, he nodded at the female secretary.
Kieran wouldn't mind helping Teresa if it was within the scope of his convenience since they were already acquainted with each other.
Following behind the female secretary, Kieran came to the restaurant with familiarity.
The sunlight shone in through the 15 meters long and 4 meters tall floor-to-ceiling window, shining on the white tablecloth. Scrumptious food was placed all over the table, emanating an alluring glow under the sunlight.
Anne Aldrich Augen who became the most powerful person in Edland City within a night was sitting in a high back chair. He didn't seem to be interested in the scrumptious food as he was concentrating on the report from Director Gregory.
When Kieran walked into the restaurant, the director stopped his report right away.
Anne Aldrich Augen slightly turned around in her chair and asked Kieran with a smile.
"What do you want for breakfast?"
Anne Aldrich Augen's expression didn't show the slightest bit of unusual expression.
However, Kieran noticed that the lady in front of him was angry.
Otherwise, with her personality, she would have stuck close to Kieran a long time ago.
Kieran looked at Director Gregory beside him.
His face was bruised and swollen, the bridge of his nose was bandaged and with the remaining blood scabs, it formed an irregular shoe print on his face.
Kieran was very familiar with the shoe print.
Teresa!
Kieran who worked together with Teresa before was absolutely sure where the shoe print on the director's face came from.
"Hot temper as always!"
Kieran commented in his heart.
Then, he looked at Anne Aldrich Augen.
Anne Aldrich Augen didn't dodge his gaze, she was still smiling as if she was waiting for Kieran's answer.
It made Kieran sigh from the bottom of his heart.
Although Kieran was confident that Teresa knew what the consequences would be when she made her move, she would never have thought that her actions would become one of Anne Aldrich Augen's ways to test him.
Anne Aldrich Augen was a vigilant, suspicious and smart woman.
Kieran never denied it.
Just like how he didn't think what he did last night was smart enough to fool everyone.
Anne Aldrich Augen who planned the whole thing noticed some inklings and it was also within Kieran's expectations.
Kieran, of course, had a way to deal with it.
No matter if Teresa brought a large group of police officers to intervene in the matter or not, it would be the same.
However, after glancing over the dining table, Kieran gave up on his original excuse.
He found something even more convincing.
"Is this your favorite wine?"
Kieran slowly walked over to Anne Aldrich Augen and picked up the wine glass in front of her.
Inside the glass, the sweet rotting smell of the white wine assaulted his nose.
It covered the unusual feeling within.
A common man would never notice the unusual feeling but for Kieran who had S + Intuition and Grand Master level [Medical and Medicinal Knowledge], it was obvious.
"That's right!"
Anne Aldrich Augen replied straightforwardly but the expression on her face had a slight change.
Anne Aldrich Augen who was smart enough already guessed something from Kieran's actions and actions.
However, she wasn't flustered.
Even more so, in her mind, she had swiftly sorted out the process of how the wine appeared in front of her in such a grand manner.
Naturally, a few suspects appeared in her mind as well.
Even her slight dissatisfaction towards Kieran and some tests were tossed to the back of her mind.
Anne Aldrich Augen knew what kind of attitude she should show towards Kieran who saved her again.
"Seems like when you have a fixed habit, it will always give others the chance to take advantage of you!"
Anne Aldrich Augen sighed and stood up from her chair.
She was like a flower swaying in the wind, her eyes at Kieran were filled with deep affection.
"But I've gotten used to staying beside you!
What do you want me to do now?
I smell the scent of death yet I'm like a moth flying into the flame … "
As she spoke, Anne Aldrich Augen raised her hand towards Kieran again.
Just like the previous times.
Kieran dodged her hand again without leaving a trace.
"If you have the time to put on a show, you should track down those bastards who are still in hiding. Let me remind you, Mayer being lured away wasn't a coincidence like what he guessed."
Kieran said slowly while looking at Anne Aldrich Augen whose face was filled with resentment as if she was complaining and crying.
Then, he passed the wine glass in his hand to Anne Aldrich Augen.
However, during the process, Kieran's hand that was holding the wine glass shone brightly.
It was like the sun but even brighter.
A trace of black that was visible to the naked eye swiftly revealed itself under the light.
Anne Aldrich Augen couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The director who witnessed all of this was even more dumbfounded.
"This … This is …"
Anne Aldrich Augen.
"[Detect Poison], it's a common method used by the church's priests and Knight, it's very useful for you to check what kind of poison it is."
Kieran smiled and placed the wine glass in Anne Aldrich Augen's hand before he turned around and walked out.
The sunlight that went through the floor-to-ceiling window shone on his body, as if he was covered in a layer of brilliance.
Kieran's figure that was walking further away but was standing straight swiftly overlapped with some of the characters that Anne Aldrich Augen read about in her mind.
"K- Knight?!"
